Chapter 167: 166. It’s hard for anyone to surpass him

In this line of work, aside from a strong research and development team being quite important, a steady supply of medicinal materials is also crucial. Rare medicinal plants, like Exquisite Plant, are especially hard to come by and worth their weight in gold.

And Cloudscape Pharma’s press conference revealed two things to everyone:

One, they had a new prescription. Two, they controlled the production base of Exquisite Plant.

With both assets in their grip, Du’s might as well have been struck out of the competition without so much as a puff of smoke in this battle of commerce, with Cloudscape Pharma emerging as the clear victor.

No, it could be said that in this war, Du’s never even had a chance to participate from the beginning to the end!

Xu Qianyu felt a headache coming on. She knew that after today’s events, the gap between Du Family and Cloudscape Pharma would only widen, and perhaps there would no longer be a chance for fair competition.

What on earth was going on? How come she had never heard Du An mention anything about Exquisite Plant?

This made no sense. She was clear about her fiancé’s affairs; there was no way he would keep her in the dark.

The more Xu Qianyu thought about it, the more impatient she became. Picking up her phone, she dialed a number, but after a long while, it just rang unanswered.

In the living room, Aunt Zhang watched her with great concern, not missing a thing.

Lin Yunlan sighed, "Cloudscape Group has actually developed a new medicine. No wonder Qianyu is in such a hurry."

With the Du Family one step behind, how could she, as the fiancée, not be anxious!

However, Tang Shu was completely confused by what she heard.

"Mom, is there a conflict between Cloudscape Pharma and the Xu Family’s business?"

That couldn’t be right. She remembered that the Xu Family was in the mechanical production line business. When did they become involved with pharmaceuticals?

At the doorway, Aunt Zhang looked at Xu Qianyu as she walked out with her phone, and on hearing this, she glanced over with a touch of disdain.

She had clearly heard earlier that the lady’s daughter, despite her young age, had gotten herself mixed up in the entertainment circle and had even landed in big trouble.

If her agency could solve it, would she have needed to come running to the Xu Family’s place?

She was obviously after the Xu Family’s connections.

Before Lin Yunlan could speak, Aunt Zhang opened her mouth with pride.

"Miss Tang, don’t you know? Our young mistress and the Du Family’s heir are engaged, and the Du Family got its start in pharmaceuticals. As our young mistress now manages the Xu Family, she is well aware of the Du Family’s business dealings."

The Xu Family and Du Family both are esteemed names in the capital city, not something an eighteenth-tier little star in the entertainment world could compare with; the two are simply not on the same level.

Lin Yunlan was solely concerned with her daughter and didn’t catch the contempt in Aunt Zhang’s tone for Tang Shu.

"Yes, Xiao An truly is a good match. Now the Du Family’s business might be affected, and it’s understandable for Qianyu to be worried."

Tang Shu, however, didn’t even bother to look directly at Aunt Zhang, as if she were beneath her notice. Having been through the cutthroat competition among the ladies of high society, how could she fail to detect the sarcasm in the words?

Disregarding and completely shattering the pride of those who love to seek attention is the best form of retaliation.

So, with a smile, Tang Shu nodded at Lin Yunlan.

"I see."

The competition between the two companies was business rivalry, and Cloudscape Pharma was using legitimate competition tactics, leaving Du’s with no choice but to take their lumps.

Although she had never met Du An, remembering the decisive and powerful Jing Yu...

It would be tough for anyone to surpass him for sure.

In the yard of the Xu Family, Xu Qianyu wrapped a woolen coat she had grabbed around herself to block out some of the cold north wind.

And after a series of persistent beeps, her phone call was finally answered.
