The Mighty Mage
Chapter 85: Trouble

Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Trouble

Even though she would suffer loss at the start, once the tactics work she would be able to gain back the investment she had put in

With that thought, Gu Jin made her way to the shop.

She expected that she was going to retain two or three customers if not five. But to her surprise, she saw more than 40 people standing in front of her shop.

What surprised her was the content of their conversation,

"Did you really get those effective yet affordable pills from here?" A girl with blue hair asked with doubt in her voice.

(Author: All the audience knows the price as Gu Jin had told them in advance before handing the sample out)

"Yes!" Another girl with pink hair replied.

Gu Jin instantly recognized the girl with pink hair.

Wasn’t she the girl who asked Gu Jin to be careful?

(Author: Please refer to Chapter 36)

Gu Jin suppressed the slight joy she was feeling and made her way toward the shop.

As she reached the gate of the shop, people around the shop instantly recognized Gu Jin.

"Hey you are the owner, right? Thank you so much for your pills! It was very effective!"

"Yes! I couldn’t believe at first that your pills were so effective, it was only when I compared the result with my friend that I realized how effective your pills are!"

"Boss, are you the alchemist who made those pills?"

"Idiot, didn’t you see the owner’s certificate yesterday? He proved that he was the alchemist and the person who made those pills!"

"Boss I want to buy 10 bottles of Speed Pills and 10 bottles of vitality pills!"

"I want a bottle of speed pills, a bottle of tranquility pills, and a bottle of vitality pills."

....

Just like that many other customers started to clamor.

Gu Jin waved her hands and said,

"Please calm down let me open the door to the shop first."

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Everyone present nodded.

The commotion was so loud that a few curious passersby couldn’t help but stop and ask,

"What is happening here? Why so much crowd has gathered here?"

"Yeah? Are any sales going here?"

Coincidentally the person to whom the passerby asked this question was Song Hancheng.

Song Hancheng was a chatterbox and within a few minutes, he told the entire story of how he was saved because of Gu Jin’s pills.

At first, the passerby was stunned to hear such a thrilling story and refused to believe it. It was only when Song Hancheng repeatedly confirmed and showed them some proof that they believed him.

One of the passersby asked Gu Jin,

"Boss, could I get a sample?"

Many people listened intently. They wanted to know whether they could again get a sample or not.

Gu Jin replied calmly,

"Yup, the new customers could have a sample of each pill for one time, but after one time they will have to pay for the rest of the time."

"Boss you are being too mean, can’t you give me a free sample for one more time?" A teenage-looking boy asked with a frown.

A few greedy people also started to support the teenage-looking boy.

The teenage-looking boy feeling smug continued,

"Boss if you want us to buy your pills, you have to at least give us a sample 5 more times!"

Gu Jin opened the door and entered the shop.

As she stood at the door, she swiped her left toe from right to left on the door and said,

"Whoever wants more samples after already trying once could stay out of my shop.

I am not doing charity, I am already doing my best to make pills more affordable by selling them at a low price compared to others, now you even want me to provide you a sample, aren’t you being too selfish?"

At first, no one thought that the boy was being greedy but it was only when Gu Jin pointed out how small amount of profit she was earning at the end of the day, did they realize how outrageous the boy’s demand was.

All the people present couldn’t help but glare at the teenage-looking boy and some even commented with disdain,

"He is so shameless!"

"Indeed! How could he ask for more samples? Sample are given to show the quality of the product now that he already knows the quality why does he want more samples?" It was Song Hancheng who taunted the teenage-looking guy.

The teenage-looking guy couldn’t help but blush and say in an angry tone,

"I was just trying to fight for more benefits! After all, if this brother here could reduce the price then can’t he give out some more samples?"

Song Hancheng laughed angrily and said,

"Are you even in your right state of mind? You are literally like a beggar who is given food and clothes and now is asking for money too!

Do you even know how much effort and herbs are required to make a pill?"

The teenage-looking guy flushed with anger and retorted,

"Hey! Who are you? Why do you keep defending the shopkeeper as if he is your brother? Maybe...maybe you are hired by the shopkeeper to act as a satisfied customer, right?

Oh! Now I get it! Many people here are hired by that shopkeeper, right? He wants to create hype right?"

The people clamoring till now suddenly turned alert.

They looked at each other with suspicion.

After all, it was one of the common tricks used by new shops, to gain the attention of passersby.

The passerby who was attracted by the commotion felt that the teenage-looking boy was right.

After all, it was Song Hancheng who told them how useful the pills were.

Seeing the wary looks and hearing the various doubtful comments, Song Hancheng felt anxious.

Just as Gu Jin was about to step in, a clear voice attracted the attention of the people,

"That man is not hired by the owner."

When everyone looked in the direction of the person who said that line, they were shocked.

The speaker was a maid with a good-looking face and an elegant attitude.

What shocked them was the logo on the maid’s uniform.

The logo belonged to one of the top families in Fu Jio City.

Meaning the maid was from one of the top families. Usually, the maid of a wealthy family has the same uniform but no logo on the uniform.

Only those high-ranking maids or confidants of Elders in the wealthy family have logos on their uniforms.

These high-ranking maids had seen so many good things that usually they didn’t buy things from the market, let alone support a small-time business.

But now...

This maid was none other than Quinn. Quinn looked at the audience and said,

"I assure you all that the quality of the pills is excellent."

Her single line was enough to defeat all the suspicion in the hearts of passersby.

A person could be hired by a businessman to act out, but not the high-ranking maids of a wealthy family.

One of the reasons is that the high-ranking maids earn so much money that they can’t be hired by any small-time business and second is because of the rule.

A rule made by wealthy families. These high-ranking maid cannot support their friend or family if they have started some business and they can’t promote or support products that are not used by the wealthy family they work for.

So Quinn’s words carried much more weight than Song Hancheng and the teenage-looking boy’s words.

"Boss I don’t want sample! I just want to buy your product."

"Yes boss, when are you going to open?"

What a joke! Even the top families are buying pills from this alchemy shop, how could the pills be of not good quality?

Gu Jin came out of a trance and looked at Song Hancheng, Quinn, and a few people who supported her earlier and pointed at them,

"You, you, you and you...All of you will receive a 20% discount on your purchase."

"What?"

"Oh my god! How lucky I am!"

"Boss, why are you being so biased?" One of them complained.

"I am just repaying the kindness." Gu Jin replied and then she looked at the teenage-looking boy,

"You are not allowed in my shop, I am not going to sell my product to you ever again. If someone supplied any product of mine to you I am not going to let that person enter my shop too." Gu Jin announced calmly.

The people who wanted to sell the product at a high cost to the teenage-looking boy instantly later on gave up on the idea.

Sometimes it is necessary to deal with the troublemakers before they start dancing on your head.

Gu Jin’s words made the teenage-looking boy’s face red and he shouted,

"Alright then! I won’t come back ever again! Who needs your product anyway? God knows what herbs are you using in those pills that are making them so cheap!

I just wish that you all..."
