When Zhang Dong heard Vice President Ma’s words, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
"Really? That’s a great opportunity! Anyway, the target users of our Yangtonic wine are these wealthy and influential people, and only they can afford it!"
The two arrived at the county town and headed straight for another well-known hotel, the Junlin Grand Hotel.
The Junlin Grand Hotel and the Dongzhou Restaurant had different positions; the former only served officials and nobles, while the latter was more accessible, belonging to the mid-to-high-end category.
Correspondingly, the Junlin Grand Hotel was much smaller in scale, but its interior decoration was very luxurious, surpassing the Dongzhou Restaurant by more than one level.
This was Zhang Dong’s first time here. After entering the hotel, he curiously looked around.
Noticing Zhang Dong’s curious gaze, Vice President Ma whispered,
"Brother Zhang, let me tell you a secret that no one else knows. The Junlin Grand Hotel is actually a property of President Yang’s family. President Yang has never mentioned this, and I only found out by chance."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Dong was even more surprised. He didn’t expect that Yang Mingyan’s family was so powerful, owning both the Dongzhou Restaurant and the Junlin Grand Hotel!
At this moment, the sharp-eyed hall manager quickly approached, with a standard smile on his face.
"Vice President Ma has arrived? Mr. Lin has already instructed me to welcome you two to the VIP room."
As high-level executives in the county’s catering industry, it was not surprising that the hall manager knew Vice President Ma.
Under the guidance of the hall manager, Zhang Dong and Ma arrived at the private room where Lin Tian was.
After knocking on the door, Lin Tian saw Zhang Dong and his eyes immediately lit up. He stood up to greet him.
Seeing Lin Tian stand up, the others also stood up.
Anyone who could receive such formal treatment from Lin Tian must not be an ordinary person!
Everyone’s gaze fell on Vice President Ma, and they quickly recognized him as the vice president of the Dongzhou Restaurant.
Given Lin Tian’s status, if the person who came was Yang Mingyan, he might have stood up to greet her, but for Vice President Ma, it was a different story!
Then, everyone looked at Zhang Dong, who was standing beside Vice President Ma.
When they saw that Zhang Dong was just a young man in his twenties, their curiosity grew even more.
However, one of them, after recognizing Zhang Dong’s face, first froze, then his face turned angry, and he glared at Zhang Dong with fury.
Fortunately, Zhang Dong’s view was blocked by Lin Tian, so he didn’t notice this person’s expression.
At this moment, Lin Tian patted Zhang Dong’s shoulder and laughed.
"Ha! Brother Zhang, you’re here! Vice President Ma, you too, please take your seats!"
Vice President Ma knew he was just an addition, so he called out to President Lin, politely nodded to everyone in the room, and then sat down at the far end of the table without saying another word.
There were two empty seats at the table, one of which was next to Lin Tian, clearly reserved for Zhang Dong. Vice President Ma certainly wouldn’t be foolish enough to sit there.
After everyone was seated, Lin Tian patted Zhang Dong’s shoulder and introduced him to everyone with a smile.
"Everyone! This young brother is named Zhang Dong. He is a miraculous doctor! At my club last time, a guest was on the verge of death from yang deficiency, and it was Brother Zhang Dong who revived him with acupuncture!"
In fact, this incident had already spread widely. A guest at the club suffering from yang deficiency was not a common occurrence, and everyone present had heard about it.
Now, upon learning that Zhang Dong had cured the guest with yang deficiency, everyone couldn’t help but marvel and praise his medical skills.
Only the person who had glared at Zhang Dong with anger showed disdain, as if it were a trivial matter.
"By the way, Brother Zhang Dong has recently produced Yangtonic wine, and it’s said to be very effective! I asked him to bring some, and everyone can take some back to try later. If it’s good, come and buy it from Brother Zhang Dong." Lin Tian smiled.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Dong and Vice President Ma both looked at Lin Tian with gratitude.
Lin Tian was indeed a good friend, directly promoting their Yangtonic wine from the start.
Everyone present nodded, indicating that they would definitely take some back to try.
However, at this moment, the person who had glared at Zhang Dong couldn’t hold back and snorted coldly.
"Yangtonic wine? It’s a trick! If you want to tonify the kidneys, you should take a proper pulse and prescribe a formula. Drinking Yangtonic wine? It will only make you weaker!"
Upon hearing this, everyone’s gaze fell on the speaker.
Zhang Dong couldn’t help but frown and look at the person, who was a young man in his thirties. His face seemed familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
"What? Does Doctor Meng from the county hospital have a different opinion?" Lin Tian’s face turned grim.
Given his status, being publicly challenged, if it weren’t for the other person’s special identity, Lin Tian would definitely have reprimanded him on the spot!
"Mr. Lin, I apologize for my impulsiveness. I wasn’t targeting you, Mr. Lin." The young man, called Doctor Meng, stood up and smiled.
Lin Tian’s expression eased slightly: "Then why did you say that just now?"
"Ha ha! Mr. Lin, everyone, I, Meng Lei, just want to expose someone’s true nature! Yangtonic wine? I think he’s purely trying to scam all of you!" Meng Lei sneered.
Upon hearing that the speaker was Meng Lei, Zhang Dong suddenly realized. Could this guy be from the Meng family?
In his memory, when he went to the Meng family to treat the old patriarch, he seemed to have seen this person among the Meng family’s descendants!
"Scam? You don’t even know the effect of my Xishan Divine Wine, how dare you say I’m scamming?" Zhang Dong also stood up.
Faced with Zhang Dong’s rebuttal, Meng Lei sneered again, looking very confident: "Do I need to say it? Ninety-nine percent of the Yangtonic wines on the market are fake. A truly good Yangtonic wine must be made with top-quality tiger bones and tiger penis. But now, hunting tigers is prohibited, and without tiger bones and tiger penis, how can you make Yangtonic wine?"
Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces changed. They also knew that there were no Yangtonic wines on the market made with tiger bones.
Even if there were, they would have been illegally imported from abroad.
"No wonder! I wondered why the Yangtonic wine I drank recently had no effect. It turns out it needs to be made with tiger bones and tiger penis!" A boss’s face showed realization.
"Tsk tsk, the Yangtonic wine I bought last year for over ten thousand yuan was the same. After drinking it, there was no reaction. In the end, I had to seek treatment from a famous doctor from the Meng family to get my body back in shape."
"It seems that to improve in that area, one must seek the medical expertise of the Meng family! Yangtonic wine is not reliable at all!"
...
Everyone began to discuss the matter, and in their conversation, they no longer believed in the effectiveness of Yangtonic wine but highly praised the Meng family’s traditional Chinese medicine for body adjustment.
Seeing everyone so supportive of the Meng family, Meng Lei couldn’t help but feel smug. His gaze towards Zhang Dong was filled with disdain, and in that disdain, there was also a hint of hatred.
The last time Zhang Dong went to the Meng family to treat the old patriarch, he stole the limelight from everyone in the Meng family!
At that time, Meng Lei, who was watching from the side, had already remembered Zhang Dong.
He didn’t expect that today would be the opportunity, and he wouldn’t let Zhang Dong off easily.
"Kid! The guest you saved at the club last time was probably just a lucky coincidence. At your young age, curing one or two patients and calling yourself a miraculous doctor, and trying to sell Yangtonic wine? Don’t dream about it!" Meng Lei said coldly.
"If you had any shame, you should admit to Mr. Lin and everyone that it was just a lucky coincidence, and then take your fake wine and get lost!"
