Chapter 373 Wu Weiwei, you did a great job!
Upon hearing this news, King Min was greatly surprised.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Well, that's absolutely true."
He had just relieved himself when he saw one of Wu Weiwei's maids hurrying into the inner room.
He thought she had something urgent to attend to, but little did he know he overheard a juicy scoop.
King Min patted his subordinates.
"You did very well!"
Haha, if this is true, then not only will he not have to pay the 500,000 taels, but he might even be able to get a large sum of compensation from Jubaolou.
It is well known that people in this industry value their reputation and would never sell counterfeit goods.
If they dare to auction off fake pills behind people's backs today, they should be prepared to be exposed.
Having made up his mind, King Min looked at the auctioneer.
"Summon your manager, I have something to say!"
Everyone looked at the smug Prince Min, wondering what he was up to.
"Your Highness, may I ask what business you have with our manager?"
The auctioneer assumed that Prince Min was trying to renege on his promise and not buy the item.
"Stop talking nonsense. If you don't go call for help, I'll expose you all in front of everyone..."
Seeing that Prince Min was so assertive, the official had no choice but to ask someone to invite Ye Qingyun out.
Wu Weiwei witnessed this scene and pondered the reason why Prince Min did this.
Based on her investigation and understanding of Prince Min's assets, he should be able to come up with 500,000 taels of silver if he scrapes together some money and uses it as collateral.
After all, if he bids on something and then refuses to pay, he will not only lose face but also offend Jubaolou. He might even be barred from entering an auction house in the future.
Upstairs, the princess frowned as she waited.
She thought that once the auction was over, she could finally do what she wanted in peace, but little did she know that unexpected complications would arise.
Liu Shuning watched with great interest; she wanted to see how long this scoundrel, Prince Min, could drag this out…
When Ye Qingyun heard that Prince Min had won the bid for the An Sheng Bao Ji Pill for 500,000 taels of silver, a smile spread across his face.
But her joy was short-lived. She immediately felt unhappy when she realized that she would have to give 200,000 of the 500,000 taels of silver to Wu Weiwei.
Looking at Wanqiu, who was still waiting for her answer.
Ye Qingyun refused, saying, "Miss Wanqiu, I'm sorry."
If your master is truly sincere in taking back this fake pill, then he must do as I say.
"Twenty percent, that's all the profit I can give you..."
Seeing Ye Qingyun's insatiable eyes, Wanqiu thought of what Wu Weiwei had told her and sneered inwardly.
The girls originally meant well in helping Jubaolou and restoring its reputation, but Ye Qingyun was so ungrateful.
If that's the case, then we can't blame them.
"If that's the case, then Mr. Ye should take care of himself!"
After saying that, Wanqiu picked up the box in her hand and walked out without looking back.
Seeing Wanqiu leave, Manager Lin was so frightened that his face changed color.
"Mr. Ye, our Jubaolou has been in business for decades and has established itself in various countries based on its good reputation."
We must not ruin the good reputation we have built up over decades because of a fake pill.
"Well...would you like to reconsider what Master Wu just suggested?"
What exactly is Mr. Ye trying to do?
Selling counterfeit medicine isn't just his business; it concerns the reputation of their Jubaolou business.
This is a responsibility that their Great Wei Treasure Pavilion cannot afford to bear.
However, Ye Qingyun glanced at Manager Lin and said, "What's your hurry? It's Wu Weiwei who should be in a hurry. We'll just wait!"
Just as Wanqiu left, the shop assistant hurriedly walked in.
"Mr. Ye, something terrible has happened! There's been a commotion in the main hall. His Highness Prince Min has specifically requested to see you..."
Ye Qingyun glared at the waiter, "You're always rushing around like this, what kind of behavior is this!"
Despite saying this, Ye Qingyun still strode towards the main hall.
Seeing this, Manager Lin had no choice but to follow.
Wanqiu returned to the No. 1 private room with the box.
Wu Weiwei looked at her and saw her shake her head.
"What? She doesn't agree?"
“Young lady, Mr. Ye seems to harbor deep hostility towards us. No matter what I say, she insists on her own opinion…”
Wu Weiwei lowered her eyes and pondered for a long time.
"Never mind, it was her own choice. I just hope she won't regret it."
It was supposed to be a win-win situation, but Ye Qingyun insisted on taking the lion's share, which meant she couldn't protect Jubaolou's reputation.
From Wanqiu's words, Wu Weiwei had learned that everything that happened today was orchestrated by Ye Qingyun.
She already knew that the pills Mulan Xue sold her were fake, but she was tricked into sending the real Ansheng Baoji Pills for profit.
As it turned out, I delivered it as she wished, but she refused because of the profit-sharing arrangement.
snort!
She schemed against me, yet still wanted to take the lion's share. She wasn't so easily bullied!
Qingzhu, everything I've done today isn't directed at you. I just hope you won't blame me for being heartless.
When Ye Qingyun arrived at the main hall, he saw Prince Min glaring at him with displeasure in his eyes.
"Your Highness Prince Min? May I ask what brings you to see me?"
He should just pay the money obediently since he'd already bought the pills; there's no need for all this fuss.
Seeing the impatience in Ye Qingyun's eyes, Min Wang said meaningfully, "Mr. Ye, shall we have a private talk?"
Even if he doesn't give Jubaolou a chance, if this Mr. Ye is sensible, I wouldn't mind giving him a way out.
To everyone's surprise, Ye Qingyun was unmoved. "Your Highness, since you have already won the bid for our competitor's item, you might as well just pay the money directly. We don't seem to have anything to talk about!"
Ye Qingyun had heard many rumors about Prince Min's private affairs.
To put it bluntly, she disliked Prince Min and had absolutely no interest in his so-called private chat.
"Fine, you said it yourself..."
Wu Weiwei, watching this scene from upstairs, seemed to be deep in thought.
However, just as the answer was about to come to her mind, she heard Prince Min say, "The An Sheng Bao Ji Pill that your Ju Bao Lou is auctioning today is fake!"
King Min's words caused everyone in the hall to jump up and down in shock.
"No way? Everyone says that Jubaolou values its reputation the most, how could it possibly auction off fakes?"
"I don't believe it. Jubaolou has auction houses in other countries, and I've heard that their business is very large. How could they possibly auction fake pills?"
"If King Kemin had no evidence, would he dare to say such a thing?"
"Could it be that he couldn't afford the 500,000 taels of silver, so..."
Upon hearing the man's words, Qin Baihe's sharp eyes widened, and the wealthy businessman who had just spoken shut his mouth.
Ye Qingyun was shocked. She never expected that Prince Min would question Jubaolou's public auction of counterfeit goods in front of everyone.
However, this is indeed a fact.
But she certainly couldn't admit it in public.
Out of the corner of my eye, I glanced at a private room on the second floor, but there was no movement there.
Ye Qingyun's eyes flickered slightly.
The reason she disagreed with giving Wu Weiwei 40% of the profits was because Qingzhu had just given her 800,000 taels of silver.
Now she is using a scheme to force Wu Weiwei to produce the real An Sheng Bao Ji Pills, but it is also in order to earn back this money from her.
Wu Weiwei, you did a great job!
