Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Preliminary Promotion of Spiritual Medicine
 

During the break before the last class of the evening self-study session.

Jiang Ning was checking his email, which contained a message from Shao Shuangshuang.

Initially, Shao Shuangshuang directly messaged via WeChat, but later due to the extensive content she needed to share, she requested Jiang Ning's email.

Shao Shuangshuang's report was very detailed, clarifying the promotion of Evergreen Liquid.

Inside the pawnshop.

Shao Shuangshuang was reclining in her chair, having just seen off two bald customers, one of whom was a female.

Now, only one bottle of Evergreen Liquid remained on the table in front of Shao Shuangshuang.

Thinking back over the past few days of selling Evergreen Liquid, Shao Shuangshuang felt exhilarated.

Initially, after obtaining Evergreen Liquid, she did not seek help from her cousin but sold it in her store as a folk remedy, contacting several bald regular customers and explaining the effects of Evergreen Liquid.

The customers, having worked with her long term, were somewhat interested in buying, but when she announced the price, the conversation ended, as the price of ten thousand yuan per bottle was still quite expensive.

Shao Shuangshuang decided not to beat around the bush anymore; she approached her cousin, Shao Wenjun, who managed a group for bald people. After getting the Evergreen Liquid, he set an example by taking a photo of his hair and posting it in the group, which immediately shocked many people.

Shao Wenjun was always active in the group, and his young, bald head was like a guiding light, a belief for many group members.

This sudden growth of hair sparked numerous discussions.

Shao Wenjun took this opportunity to introduce Evergreen Liquid as a folk remedy. Initially, the group just discussed it, and some even called Shao Wenjun a scammer.

But that was when Shao Wenjun's long-standing presence in the group paid off, as a circle of close group members supported and cheered for him.

Later, two bosses from An City drove to Yuzhou and picked up two bottles of Evergreen Liquid. They wanted to pay, but Shao Shuangshuang let them use it first and pay later if they found it effective.

The two bosses didn't care about ten thousand yuan; they could spend several hundred thousand on online games, having ample family wealth, with their daily business profits far exceeding ten thousand.

Mainly, they were satisfied with Shao Shuangshuang's attitude. After receiving the Evergreen Liquid, they voluntarily posted proofs in the group, leading the trial.

In the following few days, Shao Shuangshuang stopped her cousin from further promoting Evergreen Liquid and silently waited for results.

Just yesterday, the two bosses excitedly posted photographs; their originally bald heads had genuinely grown hair.

They excitedly kept posting in the group, becoming old fans of Evergreen Liquid.

These two wealthy bosses had previously shown off their cars in the group, million-level luxury cars, so no one doubted their authenticity and the group was boiling with excitement.

The two bosses specifically asked Shao Shuangshuang for her bank account to transfer the money and pre-ordered a few more bottles.

People in the group with spare cash drove to Yuzhou overnight to buy Evergreen Liquid from Shao Shuangshuang.

Shao Shuangshuang told everyone that only 14 bottles were left, which calmed the surging group sentiment.

Just now, she had seen off the last customer who bought Evergreen Liquid.

Out of 20 bottles, 16 had been sold.

The remaining bottle was given to a close friend at the Health Bureau to carry out detailed testing and inspection.

Another bottle was sent to a college counselor with a significant background, whom Shao Shuangshuang asked for help in handling the medical qualification process.

Finally, she had two bottles left, promising one to her cousin Shao Wenjun since he had been a great help, while the other was kept as a backup.

Looking at the white ceramic bottle, Shao Shuangshuang's beautiful face showed a smile.

To save costs, instead of using the jade bottles that Jiang Ning previously used, she opted for simpler but good-looking ceramic bottles.

During university, she had made friends with a girl who later returned to her hometown, Ceramic City, to work in porcelain painting. Now, she had become a small business owner.

The girl had some connections in Ceramic City, and the ceramic bottles Shao Shuangshuang got from her, including shipping, cost less than five yuan each, which were perfectly suited for holding Evergreen Liquid.

“Next, I'll use this group of people to spread the fame of Evergreen Liquid, and once I have the qualification, I can start to expand the market.”

Otherwise, even if Evergreen Liquid could cure baldness, being a folk remedy without official certification, it could only be sold on a small scale and couldn't expand, which would be against regulations.

But a price of ten thousand yuan per bottle, guaranteeing only two months effect, was still somewhat expensive, at least unaffordable for people with income like her cousin's.

Shao Shuangshuang had experienced hair loss and knew the torment of losing hair, not to mention those who were bald. It was somewhat bearable for older people who had spouses and children—it wasn't a big deal.

But key was that many people went bald at a young age. Shao Shuangshuang saw many self-deprecating remarks in balding forums, and even when Evergreen Liquid was proven effective, some people would ask about the price but then went silent, never to comment again.

Shao Shuangshuang suddenly felt an impulse, wanting to do something for them, such as lowering the price a bit so that more people could afford Evergreen Liquid and not be troubled by hair loss anymore.

However, she quickly suppressed that impulse because she hadn't even secured a distributor status yet.

She should at least promote Evergreen Liquid more before considering this issue.

Nevertheless, Shao Shuangshuang still compiled her suggestion about reducing the price of Evergreen Liquid and sent it in an email to Jiang Ning.

…

Jiang Ning briefly read through the email and responded to each of the suggestions Shao Shuangshuang had made.

“The day after tomorrow, at five in the afternoon, come to your shop, and I'll bring you Evergreen Liquid for 100 people. Once the certification comes through, you can use it for the second round of promotion.”

Then, Jiang Ning put away her phone.

The last evening self-study session was a real one, and unexpectedly, the class teacher Shan Qingrong came to the class.

The boys in the back row noticed and quickly put away their phones. They might not fear other teachers, but they were somewhat scared of Shan Qingrong, the smiling tiger.

Indeed, a little over a month into the school term, everyone realized that Shan Qingrong was a smiling tiger.

There was a forum for their school, Fourth Middle School, where students found many posts about Shan Qingrong, such as “Fourth Middle School's smiling tiger,” among other titles, which made the students wary of him.

“I have something to say. After the monthly exams are over, our class will move to the teaching building at the back, likely at the end of the month. Please be mentally prepared.”

Hearing Shan Qingrong's words, the students were taken aback. They hadn't been there long, so why were they suddenly moving? They were all confused.

“What about this classroom when we leave?” someone asked.

“I'm not very clear on that; it's the school's arrangement,” Shan Qingrong replied.

After waiting a bit, he looked at the students in the class and remarked,

“You students are quite fortunate.”

“I remember a few years ago when this teaching building had just been constructed. School had started even though the windows weren't installed yet.”

“In the dead of winter, without windows, students were shivering from the cold. I took them to buy plastic tarps to cover the windows.”

The students were astonished, and Guo Kunnan from the back row found it hard to believe. He asked,

“Was it really that tough?”

Shan Qingrong replied, “Yes, I did. Development has been so rapid now. Plastic runways, multimedia computer projectors, everything's fully equipped. I've heard they're about to install air conditioning.”

Hearing about air conditioning, the students got excited. They knew how hot it was in summer—if next summer were just as hot, it would be unbearable.

Winter was approaching too, with temperatures dropping to seven or eight degrees below zero, so cold that it was hard to hold a pen and tremble while writing. Having air conditioning would be blissful.

The students eagerly asked, “Teacher, do you know exactly when the air conditioning will be installed?”

Shan Qingrong said, “Soon.”

Jiang Ning watched this scene expressionlessly. He remembered very clearly—their high school graduation exams had just ended when the school installed air conditioning, but they never got the chance to use it.

Shan Qingrong then talked about the monthly exams, emphasizing the importance of preparing earnestly. After the exams, the school would hold a summary meeting where the principal would personally award scholarships.

The top ten in the monthly exams across the school would each receive at least 300 yuan.

For high school students in 2013, 300 yuan was quite a significant amount. If it were given to Ma Shicheng and his friends, it would cover most of their monthly expenses.

But the top ten in their grade?

What a joke. With three specialized classes standing in their way, not to mention the top ten—a place in the top hundred was exceptionally hard to achieve.

So, very few students in class 8 took it seriously.

Only those who performed exceptionally well in class, like Dong Qingfeng, Chen Qian, and Bai Yuxia, quietly encouraged themselves.

Some had underperformed during their middle school exams by mistake, while others had attended summer tutoring classes and, combined with their usual hard work, refused to believe they were inferior to the specialized class students.

They firmly believed that this monthly exam would be their moment to shine and surpass the students in the specialized classes.
