Chapter 28 The Only Chance
Upon learning that they were being manipulated, and with several projects at the research institute still stagnant, Riley couldn't help but feel frustrated.
She didn't expect that after six years, Hollis' hostility towards her would still be so strong, even to the point of using such disgusting tactics!
However, now was not the time to vent her emotions.
Riley pinched her palm to calm herself down and looked up at Deacon, saying, "It's okay. If H City doesn't work, we can contact other herbal medicine suppliers in other cities. We will surely find someone willing to cooperate with us."
However, the cost and time spent would be higher accordingly.
Although Riley didn't say it, she was very clear in her mind.
She also hoped to find a suitable local partner, but there was really no way now.
"No, we don't necessarily have to go to another city."
Deacon suddenly thought of something and his tone became lighter.
After listening, Riley raised her eyebrows. "You think there are other herbal medicine suppliers in H City that we can cooperate with? Those small pharmacies definitely won't work, we need someone with a certain scale."
Deacon nodded, "I know, but this matter may require you to go."
Riley was even more confused.
"I remember you said you were familiar with the herbal medicine suppliers in H City. Do you know anything about the Benedict family?"
Deacon said, "The Benedict family has been in the herbal medicine business for many years and has a high status in H City. Mr. Benedict Sr. is especially respected. However, Mr. Benedict Sr.'s health hasn't been good these past few years, so the Benedict family has consulted many doctors, but none of them were able to treat Mr. Benedict Sr. They asked me to take a look too, but I didn't have the ability. However, you might."
"Oh really."
Riley understood his meaning, but still had some concerns. "But the Benedict family is so large, the prices of herbal medicine may not be lower than what we have now."
Deacon said, "Before, the Benedict family promised that if someone could cure Mr. Benedict Senior, they would send a batch of expensive herbal medicine for free and even offer a discount for future purchases."
Hearing this, Riley's eyes lit up and a heavy stone in her heart slowly fell. "If there's such a good opportunity, why didn't you say it earlier?"
Deacon smiled and replied, "I also wanted to do it, but you hadn't arrived then and I didn't have the ability. In the end, I gave up and forgot about it. It just came to my mind recently and I thought you could give it a try. What do you think?"
"Of course, no problem!" Riley stood up and urged, "Help me contact the Benedict family and ask when I can go over."
Seeing her eagerness for research, Deacon's heart moved and he smiled, "I'll do that right away. Wait for me here."
After saying that, he left the office to make a phone call while Riley waited in the office.
No matter how Mr. Benedict Sr. was, she would do everything she could for the research institute and cure Mr. Benedict Sr.!
Shortly after, Deacon came back.
"How did it go?" Riley asked.
Deacon nodded, "Not bad. The Benedict family hasn't found a doctor who can treat Mr. Benedict Sr. yet. When I mentioned recommending someone to go take a look, they immediately agreed without hesitation."
"When are we going?" Riley asked eagerly.
"Tonight," Deacon replied.
Riley immediately agreed. The timing was just right, and she hoped to go as soon as possible.
"Could you please tell me about Mr. Benedict Sr.'s symptoms so I can prepare in advance?" Riley's expression turned serious when it came to treating his illness.
Deacon agreed and began explaining.
