Reenspring Pharmaceutical Co. was a pharmaceutical production and sales company founded by Kayson. Cayden’s Omnicare Drugstore was his supplier. Generally, he should not be facing supply issues for medicinal herbs. However, Cayden called and told him there was a supply chain disruption. Kayson rushed over to the company quickly. Cayden looked at Kayson in guilt and embarrassment, his expression anxious. “I’m sorry, Mr. Yarde. I didn’t expect this to happen…”Kayson frowned and said, “This is not the time for pointing fingers. Tell me, what happened? Didn’t you mention that you had signed three-year uninterrupted supply contracts with the suppliers?”“I did…” Cayden gnashed his teeth and said bitterly, “However, I didn’t expect they would rather go back on their own word just to disrupt the supply.”Upon hearing that, Kayson expressed his astonishment. ‘How could they do this? They would rather pay the penalty than supply us?’“Did any supplier reach out to you?” Kayson asked
Devon was the new media genius Royce had sent to Kayson.Cayden was slightly astounded. “It… can’t be, right? Is this where the trouble comes from?”Kayson trusted these two people and knew that they did not leak the prescription, so he believed that the so-called pre-launch marketing forecast should be the leak. Cayden and Farris’ expressions turned extremely unpleasant at this point. If this was really the source of the problem, it would be their fault, and they could not refute it!Cayden’s phone suddenly rang and disrupted both their awkwardness and embarrassment. Cayden pulled out his phone and said, “The caller is Ridley Patterson, one of my biggest medicinal herb suppliers.”Kayson nodded. “Pick up the call, and let’s see what he has to say.”Cayden picked up the call and put the call on speaker. Ridley burst out laughing aloud and said, “Hahaha, Mr. Lane, why aren’t you at the drugstore?”Cayden raised an eyebrow and asked, “Are you at Omnicare Drugstore, Mr. Patter
Cayden’s expression turned even colder while Ridley could see Cayden’s annoyance and impatience. Hence, Ridley stopped teasing about something else and was prepared to get down to business.He took a glance at Farris and Kayson before saying, “This is Mr. Farris Townsend, right? I’ve heard so much about you!“However, who is this sir next to you? Why haven’t I met you before?”Cayden said coldly, “This is the man that you can’t afford to offend. Alright, Ridley. What is your purpose for coming here? Go straight to the point!”Ridley raised an eyebrow upon hearing Cayden’s remark. Soon afterward, he expressed his contempt. ‘Someone I can’t afford to offend? What a joke!’There were only four forces in a measly location like Skyspring that he could not afford to offend: the Osborns, the Friths, Eden Joy, and Soulspring Pharmaceutical. Anybody else would be regarded as a trivial character to him. How could this young man be so influential when he was fooling around with Cayden?
“I will only accept a three-fold increment at most…”Ridley let out a grunt and said in a tone that permitted no doubt, “Five-fold, and it’s non-negotiable!”Let alone Cayden, even Farris was about to lose his temper.‘F*ck, this s*n of a b*tch is taking advantage of our difficult situation, but he has gone too far!’Ridley sneered and said, “You can reject my offer if you think the asking price is too high. I’ll be fine walking away now!”Upon hearing that, both of them suppressed their anger by force. Cayden was about to give in when he heard Kayson’s voice. “Are you working under the order of Harry Pether or Carlson Carling?” Kayson spoke in a nonchalant tone. There was no telling if he was angry or happy. Ridley took a glance at the young man with a look of contempt in his gaze. “How is it any of your damned business, boy? This is not the place for a clueless child like you to speak!”Cayden and Farris said in anger simultaneously, “Ridley, how dare you disrespect Mr. Y
Cayden’s eyes lit up, and he said in excitement, “You’re right about this. I didn’t come to realize this because I was blinded by rage all this time!”Farris was equally excited as well. However, he soon said in a distressed tone, “So, how are we going to get our medicinal herbs? The ingredients to your prescription are all made up of medicinal herbs, Mr. Yarde…”Cayden’s expression became frozen for a moment, and the joy on his face vanished. ‘Yes, what’s the point of having a product with shocking effects without the ingredients to produce it?’Kayson smiled in a carefree manner, “Don’t worry, I’ll figure out a way.”Cayden was startled and hastily said, “Even though Ridley is a *ssh*le, he said something that made sense, Mr. Yarde. He and his friends are holding 60 to 70% of the supply portion of Skyriv’s medicinal herbs.“Now that we’ve set ourselves against him, they’re going to cut off our supply, and the remaining smaller-scale suppliers will also follow suit and be like th
Cayden beamed with joy and said, “You’re truly impressive, Mr. Yarde. Even Dr. Larson is showing so much respect for you!”Kayson smiled nonchalantly. “Set your mind at ease and wait for Mr. Larson to finish the call.”“When Mr. Larson is done solving the supply issue, please hand over the name list of suppliers who ended their contracts with you and paid the penalty to me.”Even though Cayden had no idea what Kayson wanted to do with that, he did not inquire further. He would be in delight if Kayson could punish those people. Half an hour later, Joaquin walked in again and said smilingly, “Don’t worry, Mr. Lane. The major suppliers will be reaching out to you in a while.“Oh right, I shall pass the numbers of a few medicinal herb cultivators. You may get in touch with them too if you need.”Cayden was overjoyed upon hearing that and said, “For real, Dr. Larson?”‘This is no different than purchasing from the source! I can have a direct negotiation with the cultivators withou
Ridley could not believe what he had just heard. He was the major supplier of medicinal herbs in this city, yet so many of his client companies refused to purchase from him. It did not make sense to him at all. How could those pharmacies, drugstores, and stores possibly not need his medicinal herbs unless they were having a strike?Yet, the call came from his trusted subordinate, who could not possibly be fooling around with him on an important matter like this.Ridley’s expression changed a few times before he said soon afterward, “Go and look into the matter to find out what happened. I shall assign someone to ask around on my side too.“We must figure out the situation at once! Also… make a list of all the companies refusing to purchase from me!”‘F*ck! How dare you humiliate me like this. I’m going to make sure that you suffer as well!‘I’m going to f*ck*ng hike up the price on each of you after I’m done figuring out the situation!’Ridley ordered his subordinate to look in
Ridley could not care about anything else and began to reach out to his colleagues in Eastriv, yet none of them picked up his calls after he made eight consecutive calls!Ridley began to panic in the meantime. Cold beads of sweat began to drip down from his forehead, and he came to realize that he could possibly be in deep trouble at this very moment. Ridley felt especially displeased. He was planning on giving Kayson a hard time by targeting Omnicare Drugstore.He wanted to seize the opportunity to show Kayson that no one was allowed to compete against Soulspring Pharmaceutical when it came to skincare products. Otherwise, the company would be doomed.Yet, he did not expect the situation to turn out this way!“Mr. Pether, I… I’m in big trouble…” Ridley said sorrowfully, “Mr. Pether, please help me, save me! I have so many medicinal herbs in stock…”He was suffering from the immense loss of companies in the province rejecting his supply. He already spent a considerable amount ju
