【Recite the Saito website three times silently. Do you remember it? If not, I'll ask again in the next chapter. It would be great if you could share it on Facebook.】

Not only were the villagers worried, but Han Li and his friends also quietly reminded Zhao Xinyu that people like Zhao Shiming could not possibly reform in their imagination.

Han Li and his friends secretly spoke to Zhao Xinyu, and the busy Zhao Shiming and his group, of course, could feel it. However, seeing Zhao Xinyu just smile faintly without saying anything and not looking at them with prejudice, the seven of them felt even more grateful to Zhao Xinyu.

Amidst the villagers' discussions, Zhao Shiming and his seven companions stayed in the courtyard. Perhaps they also knew the villagers' views of them, so many times they just worked without speaking, and even when they spoke, it was among the seven of them or to Zhao Xinyu.

Over time, the villagers found that Zhao Shiming and his seven companions had really changed. They were always eager to work, rarely went to places where villagers gathered, and drank less. Their changes really surprised the villagers.

A month later, news came from the parents of Zhao Shiming and his seven companions. In the first month, they had kept only a few hundred for daily expenses, and the rest of the money they had handed over to their parents.

Although some villagers still had doubts, they would greet the seven of them intentionally or unintentionally, and the seven of them were pleasantly surprised.

Zhao Shiming and his companions were gradually changing. Since they had all grown up drinking from the same well, the villagers also noticed their changes and slowly began to accept them.

On this day, Zhao Xinyu received a call from Chai Jinquan, the manager of Qinguo Qincheng, saying that someone had brought a bottle of Qinguo Qincheng and claimed it was fake, demanding a refund.

Zhao Xinyu smiled coldly and told Chai Jinquan to ignore it, then hung up. Zhao Xinyu knew that someone was finally causing trouble.

He was also clear that this person would not be the last, and more people would bring fake Qinguo Qincheng bottles to the store.

Zhao Xinyu ignored it, but someone couldn't hold back. Less than half an hour after Zhao Xinyu hung up, Du Mengnan came to the store.

"Zhao Xinyu, what's going on? How could there be fake Qinguo Qincheng? I just went to check, and there are already many people gathered there. The person claims that his wife's face was disfigured by using Qinguo Qincheng."

Zhao Xinyu smiled faintly, "Don't worry, more people will come in a few days."

Seeing Zhao Xinyu's calm demeanor, Du Mengnan was slightly taken aback, "Zhao Xinyu, are you saying someone is behind this?"

Zhao Xinyu nodded, "What do you want for lunch? I'll prepare it for you. Things will become clear in a few days."

Du Mengnan lightly tapped Zhao Xinyu's shoulder, "You, you made me worry for nothing. But you need to think of a solution. The bottle he brought is exactly the same as yours."

Zhao Xinyu laughed, "I buy the bottles online. As long as you have money, anyone can buy them, but they can't replicate the trademark on the bottle."

"The trademark? Isn't that easy to clone? With today's cloning technology, even humans can be cloned, let alone a simple trademark."

Zhao Xinyu chuckled, "You'll see in a few days. Traditional Chinese medicine is profound and cannot be cloned by technology."

Over the next three days, every day, customers brought Qinguo Qincheng to the store, which made many potential buyers hesitant.

Subsequently, there were blockades at the store, and even women wrapped in layers appeared in front of the store, claiming they were disfigured by Qinguo Qincheng.

On the seventh day, the authorities finally took action, joining forces to seal the store and confiscate the Qinguo Qincheng. Several media reporters also came with them.

The media's presence made the people even more frenzied. They even tried to break into the store and demanded compensation, with each person asking for an astronomical amount that left the onlookers stunned.

Chai Jinquan, who had ignored the people for days, finally appeared. However, people saw that Chai Jinquan was not worried at all; instead, his eyes were full of mockery as he looked at the dozens of people demanding compensation.

Chai Jinquan said to the media reporters, "I think everyone wants to know why we haven't handled this matter for days, right?"

When Chai Jinquan said this, the media, law enforcement, and onlookers all felt that there must be something, and they looked at Chai Jinquan, wanting to know if Qinguo Qincheng had any hidden moves.

Seeing that everyone was paying attention, Chai Jinquan knew his goal was achieved. He looked at the first customer who claimed to have bought a fake Qinguo Qincheng and said,

"You said the Qinguo Qincheng you have is from our store, right?"

"Yes, it's from your store. All of our Qinguo Qincheng bottles are from your store."

Chai Jinquan smiled coldly, "You forgot that our Qinguo Qincheng has a unique patent. Not only is the formula and taste unique, but the packaging label is also specially treated."

As he spoke, he turned to a media reporter, "You can randomly select ten bottles of Qinguo Qincheng from the store to verify the packaging of the Qinguo Qincheng we sell."

"You're bluffing, right?"

Chai Jinquan smiled coldly and turned to the store staff, "Have you recorded the identity information of these people?"

Seeing the staff nod, one of the people blocking the door's eyes narrowed. He looked at the law enforcement officers, "You all saw that, right? They are threatening us. Why wait to close this black store?"

At this moment, a media reporter had already selected ten bottles of Qinguo Qincheng. Chai Jinquan smiled faintly and looked at the people who came, "Choose ten bottles from your group, and let's compare them."

Soon, the real and fake Qinguo Qincheng bottles were placed on the same table. Chai Jinquan looked at the media reporters, "You can all touch the two types of labels and see what you find."

"Wow," came a series of surprised voices. They found that the labels on the two sets of Qinguo Qincheng bottles felt different. The labels on the bottles brought by the people were extremely smooth, while the labels on the bottles from the store had a noticeable texture.

After the media reporters felt the labels, Chai Jinquan looked at the onlookers, "Everyone can come and feel the labels to avoid buying fake Qinguo Qincheng in the future."

At this moment, people seemed to sense something, and many came to feel the labels. As the media reporters had noticed, the two types of labels felt clearly different.

Seeing the people's surprised expressions, Chai Jinquan knew the effect had been achieved. He said softly, "Use your phone's flashlight to shine on the labels."

"Wow," came a series of gasps. Under the flashlight, the labels on the store's Qinguo Qincheng bottles showed the words "Qinguo Qincheng," while the labels on the bottles brought by the people showed nothing.

"Shine the flashlight on the wax seal of the bottle necks."

"Ah, how is this possible?" came a series of exclamations. They saw that the wax seals on the store's Qinguo Qincheng bottles also had the words "Qinguo Qincheng," while the wax seals on the bottles brought by the people had no markings at all.

Moreover, the wax seals on the store's Qinguo Qincheng bottles were transparent and yellow, while the wax seals on the bottles brought by the people were murky and almost opaque.

"Everyone saw that, right? You can all figure out the reason behind this."

Everyone looked at the people who had come to block the door and question the store, and they saw that many of them were already pale. Half of them, seeing the stares, turned and ran.

However, this time, the law enforcement was a joint operation, including officers maintaining public order. Seeing people trying to run, they instantly understood. Dozens of people were immediately controlled.

Seeing the people controlled, Chai Jinquan smiled coldly, "Everyone saw that, right? In the future, when buying Qinguo Qincheng, always check the product on the spot. The anti-counterfeiting marks of Qinguo Qincheng are a legacy from our Chinese medicine predecessors. People who are not proficient in Chinese medicine cannot fake them. Not just Qinguo Qincheng, but even the Purple Emperor has the same anti-counterfeiting technology. Always check when buying to avoid being cheated."

With the fake Qinguo Qincheng incident over, the people who had come to block the door and cause trouble were taken away for investigation. The Qinguo Qincheng, which had been boycotted by the people for days, made a complete comeback in front of the media and even got a free promotion.

If a few days ago, the people of Pengcheng were boycotting Qinguo Qincheng, through this incident, Qinguo Qincheng not only recovered but also gained a lot of support. This also made the people who pursued Qinguo Qincheng know how to distinguish the real from the fake.

After the media reports, many people who had bought Qinguo Qincheng immediately checked for authenticity, and as Chai Jinquan said, both Qinguo Qincheng and the Purple Emperor had the same special anti-counterfeiting marks.

Subsequently, Chinese medicine experts confirmed that Qinguo Qincheng and the Purple Emperor indeed used the most sophisticated anti-counterfeiting technology from ancient Chinese medicine. This technology was not available to any manufacturer because it had been lost for over a thousand years, and to use this technology, one needed to be proficient in Chinese medicine.

The news spread, and not only domestic but also international business giants approached Chai Jinquan, offering huge sums to buy the anti-counterfeiting technology.

However, to their disappointment, Chai Jinquan directly told all the representatives that this technology was an anti-counterfeiting technology from ancient Chinese medicine and that they should contact the Chinese Medicine Association of China if they wanted to buy it.
