C88 – One Pill for Ten Thousand
At that moment, Zhou Tong, who was well aware of the super cold medicine’s value, had faced rejection from Jiang Hao multiple times but wasn’t ready to throw in the towel just yet.
“Oh, if that’s the case, could I possibly ask Jiang Hao for a favor?”
He didn’t wait for Jiang Hao’s consent before continuing.
“Jiang Hao, when you head home tonight, could you ask your mom which pharmacy she got this medicine from? Let me know tomorrow, so I can go buy a few pills.”
Jiang Hao’s opinion of Zhou Tong was deteriorating rapidly.
“Fine, I’ll ask her tonight when I get home, but it’s been quite a while. She might not even remember!”
Jiang Hao feigned agreement.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong quickly responded.
“Then I really appreciate it, Jiang Hao!”
“But remember, my offer still stands—I’m willing to pay a thousand yuan for each pill!”
Jiang Hao, however, didn’t seem too keen on the offer.
After Zhou Tong left, Jiang Hao slumped back onto the table and fell asleep.
But in reality, he was having second thoughts.
This encounter made him realize he might have seriously underestimated the synthetic drug’s worth.
“So, it looks like after my college entrance exams, I could aim for a major in pharmaceutical studies!
Yet, knowing the truth, Jiang Hao let him down.
“Sorry, Zhou Tong. I asked my mom last night, and she’s forgotten where she bought it too,” he said.
Jiang Hao’s words made Zhou Tong, who had been brimming with anticipation, freeze on the spot.
“What am I going to do?”
“The college entrance exams are coming up. If I don’t get over this cold, it’s going to ruin my performance!”
Zhou Tong feigned desperation, hoping to elicit Jiang Hao’s compassion.
“Jiang Hao, are you sure you’re out of cold medicine? If you have any left, please, for the sake of our friendship as classmates, help me out!
We can talk about the price. I’m willing to pay ten thousand yuan per pill if that’s what it takes!”
Zhou Tong’s offer was so generous it nearly took Jiang Hao’s breath away, and he almost agreed on the spot.
The classmates around Jiang Hao were equally stunned when they heard Zhou Tong’s proposal.
“Ten thousand per pill?”
“Is this some kind of miracle drug?”
“Seriously, has Zhou Tong lost his mind?”
......
They couldn’t fathom why Zhou Tong was so fixated on a mere cold pill from Jiang Hao.
But Jiang Hao alone knew the real reason behind Zhou Tong’s determination.
