Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 721

Daphne was not interested. She smiled, "No matter what, you're still a boss, you have more time than us."

On the contrary, Rita became excited as she spoke. She grabbed Daphne's arm and grumbled, "Daphne, when you're running a business, you will be on-call for 24/7. You will have no time to rest as you need to keep working."

"If you're really tired, you should switch into another job," Daphne suggested.

Rita continued, "I have thought of switching jobs. But, my husband and I had been working hard for five years, and we have managed to achieve something so far. All our little achievements would go down the drain if we decided to switch now."

Upon hearing this, Daphne couldn't help but frown. She couldn't figure out what Rita was trying to say. Was her former classmates just trying to chitchat?

She paused for a moment and questioned. "Rita, what are you trying to say?"

When Rita heard this, her face fell.

After sighing, she said, "Daphne, I shouldn't have

come to you. But I have no choice-"

Daphne's heart skipped a beat. She asked nervously, "Rita, tell me. As long as it is not beyond my abilities, I will help."

"Ah, there is a problem." Rita sighed. "My husband and I run a small company which provides raw medical materials."

"A few months ago, when our company received a business deal, a problem came up. Now the whole business is stuck." Rita sighed. When Daphne heard her, she said in a hurry, "How much money do you need? I have some savings. You can use it for an emergency." Daphne rummaged around her bag for her bank card.

However, Rita stopped her and shook her head. "Daphne, it can't be solved with mere money."

"Are you in a huge debt? Or is it something else?" Daphne asked nervously.

Rita shook her head again, and she went on, "Daphne, we've known each other for a long time. I'll tell you everything."

Daphne nodded, "Tell me. We can think of a solution together."

"Daphne, you are the best." Rita was grateful, "You know that Alstom Antibiotic was facing a shortage all over the country. Many hospitals were buying the antibiotic in bulk. Since the demand exceeds the supply, the price for the antibiotic surged."

"At that time, a pharmaceutical company ordered Alstom Antibiotic from us." Rita explained, "They offered a good price, and the shortage of stocks was not as serious. Thus, my husband and I took on the orde and prepared to bring in the antibiotics for resale. We thought that we could earn some agent fees from this."

Daphne frowned, "I'm afraid that I can't help you. The whole country is running out of the antibiotics as well."

Rita sighed, "Yes, I know. But at that time, it was so difficult for us to get it. We didn't expect that this would happen. When we received the money, we went all over the place to look for this antibiotic. There were none!"

"What's worse, as time goes on, the shortage is getting more and more serious and the price for the antibiotic is shooting up even higher. With the money that we received before, we couldn't even pay for the antibiotic, let alone make any profit."

"We have no choice but to explain the situation to the pharmaceutical company. We wanted to cancel their order."

As Rita was speaking, tears welled up in her eyes, "Since we breached the contract, we are ready to compensate. Who knew that the company would insist on their order. They insisted that we get them the antibiotics."

"How was it possible for a small company like us to be able to get the antibiotic? We've been to many places, and even abroad to look for the antibiotic, but to no avail."

"We have no choice. We are even ready to shut down our company to compensate the pharmaceutical company."

Rita was full of bitterness. Then, she changed her tone, "After that, we heard about the Ephedra Syrup. It was said that it was a more effective and a cheaper medicine compared to the Alstom Antibiotic. It could even replace it."

"The pharmaceutical company heard about it too. Now, they want us to get them the Ephedra Syrup. In doing so, we can solve the previous problem."

"In this way, we don't need to close our company," Rita said.

Daphne finally understood her situation. She frowned, "Rita, you were saying-"

Rita nodded, "I inquired about it. The Ephedra Syrup was being developed in Dragonville. And

Daphne, you are one of the main researchers. What a coincidence."

"Therefore, we're here to ask for a small favor from you, Daphne. Can you get us the Ephedra Syrup?" Rita finally revealed her intentions. Daphne furrowed her brows.

After all, the stock of Ephedra Syrup was already insufficient within Dragonville. How could they provide a supply for Rita?

Daphne explained, "Rita, we don't have enough Ephedra Syrup here in Dragonville. I'm afraid that I cant—

Before Daphne finished, Rita interrupted, "Daphne, don't be like this. We're classmates."

"No, there is really not enough Ephedra Syrup. Maritime Ocean Pharma went against Dragonville before, and we were in a dire situation. Now, the Ephedra Syrup is not enough to supply Dragonville." Daphne justified.

When Rita heard that, she was displeased.
