Chapter 138 – She could not possibly share the inside story with the outsiders (3)
Li WangJin had opened up the link for pre-order of the Cherry Blossom Pills as he watched from the backend the numbers continued to climb. It was like looking at countless money dancing in front of his eyes.
He had hired many water armies in the last few days to lead the trend that the Cherry Blossom Pills and the Beautify Pills shared the same formula and differed only in their names. Judging from the number of pre-orders, many believed in it.
Except that still wasn’t enough. He wanted even more!
Li WangJin’s cellphone rang and he picked it up. It was a call from the wife of Luo ShaoCheng. Luo ShaoCheng was one of the many employees that he had recruited from Fang JunRong’s company. Luo ShaoCheng worked in Production previously at Meifang Corporation. He contributed a lot to Li WangJin’s getting his hand on the formula.
His wife was crying over the phone that her husband had been taken away by the cops.
Li WangJin comforted her nicely over the phone. He had been prepared for this.
“Don’t worry. I will make some arrangements and buy off some people. Even if he had to go to jail, he won’t be there for long. I will still pay you the 10 million yuan that I have promised and an extra 1 million yuan for every year he has to spend in jail.”
Luo ShaoCheng’s wife calmed down quickly under the reassurance of money.
Li WangJin had warned them beforehand that this could happen and had further promised that he’d compensate them handsomely should that happen. He trusted that these individuals knew what they could or could not say.
After receiving a few similar calls, he rubbed his temple. Fang JunRong was moving faster than he had expected. Nevertheless, none of what she was doing now would affect him any. His reputation had long been ruined. Adding another corporate espionage wouldn’t make that much difference. He could not be arrested as long as there was no evidence. Netizens all tend to be forgetful. As long as he could bring them better benefits, they would quickly switch sides and root for him.
His ex-wife was still too naïve.
He quickly gave the order to pay for a most trending list topic of “Fang JunRong suing Li WangJin for illegally obtaining proprietary information”.
He then looked for a new cellphone and sent another text to Fang JunRong.
[Thank you for helping me save on advertisement costs. You are such a nice person.]
However Fang JunRong had treated him in the past; he’d repay her principal plus interest.

“OMG! Unbelievable! Scum like that does not deserve to live!”
Inside of their dormitory, Yang MeiHua started shouting at the monitor. A series of insulting words came out of her mouth, and her face was flushed. Her eyes were widened. She was extremely agitated.
Her roommate, Xu YuQi, was lying on the top of the bunk bed and playing on her cellphone as she applied her face mask. Hearing Yang MeiHua’s angry voice, she poked her head out and asked, “What’s the matter? What have you seen online that had enraged you this time?”
Yang MeiHua was your everyday internet addict. Other than attending her classes, she’d say in her dormitory room surfing the web. All of the other girls in the room learned about the latest and greatest news on the web from her. When the story on Jiang YaGe leaked, she was also the first one who had informed them of it.
As she was typing away on her phone, Yang MeiHau said angrily, “That Li WangJin is so shameless. He stole the proprietary information from Fang JunRong’s company. Such a shameless thief! All the discounts that he had been offering for his Cherry Blossom Pills, I thought he was just doing that on purpose to leech the popularity off of the Beautify Pills. I just found out that it was pirated!”
That piqued Xu YuQi’s interest. “For real? Did Li WangJin admit to it? He couldn’t possibly be dumb enough to admit that, could he?”
Yang MeiHua harrumphed and said, “Boss Fang had taken a few of her former employees to court for stealing proprietary information. All of those employees had gone over to Li WangJin’s company. He didn’t admit to it, but he might as well have.”
