Chapter 439 - Weakness
Chapter 439: Weakness
Si Yueting and Liu Yiyao both shivered simultaneously when they heard what Xiao Luo said. Only two words appeared in their minds - it's over!
As a salesperson, they had a more comprehensive understanding of the customer Guo Taining's information. For example, it was not a secret to them that Guo Taining's ex-wife chose to jump off the fifth floor of the inpatient ward to end her life because she could not bear the pain from childbirth. Of course, they would definitely not mention this incident. Any normal person would know that this topic was like a minefield. It was Guo Taining's trigger and when it was brought up, the person would die a horrible death.
What was Brother Luo doing?
The both of them were anxious. They could not understand the intention of Xiao Luo's words. How was this talking considered a negotiation? It was clearly just to make Guo Taining upset.
Just as expected, Guo Taining's face darkened in an instant. The eyes of a person who always looked kind suddenly became dark and sharp and his expression became extremely unpleasant.
Xiao Luo did not rush and continued saying: "Director Guo, for the past 10 years you have always been studying how to let women give birth painlessly. In addition to wanting to do something meaningful in your lifetime, it is also about the memory and guilt of your ex-wife, right?"
"What the hell do you mean?"
Guo Taining stared at Xiao Luo. Not a shred of goodwill was left on his face and it was all deep hostility.
Xiao Luo raised his teacup and took a sip of tea. With a smile, he said: "I know a way that mothers can give birth truly painlessly. As long as you and Huayao Group sign a contract, I will tell you this method."
What?!
Not only Guo Taining, Si Yueting, Liu Yiyao and even the women called Xiao Yun were all in shock.
A normal person would know that the coming of life must be accompanied by pain. Some people say that this pain was equivalent to breaking twelve rib bones. Unless it was a C-section, but even then the recovery process was also painful. Afterall, you were opening a hole in the stomach and that would take time to heal. How could there be a way to deliver painlessly in this world? It was impossible. The degree of pain just varied between person to person.
"Absurd!"
Guo Taining's facial expression changed in an instant. Coldly, he said: "Originally, I thought you were someone open-minded, but I didn't think you were some sly villain out for petty gain. You are not even a doctor, you're merely a salesman. Yet, you are unashamedly telling me that you know a way to let mothers deliver painlessly. What a joke, you are totally ridiculous. Xiao Yun, see this guest out!!!"
He stood up and turned his back.
He was very angry. He wasn't just angry that Xiao Luo had brought up his ex-wife, but even more angry that Xiao Luo lied. He had studied hard for more than ten years and there was no progress. He had even begun to wonder if there was such a thing called painless delivery in this world. In the end, this person who wasn't even qualified was confidently telling him that he knew a method. It was utter nonsense. Such a person made him disgusted and angry.
In the end it really failed!
Si Yueting and Liu Yiyao lowered their heads like a deflated ball. At the same time, they were extremely puzzled by Xiao Luo's behaviour. He was obviously just a salesperson, so why did he say that he knew how to help women during childbirth give birth painlessly? Even if they wanted to secure this sale, they couldn't just speak without thinking. Besides, the way Xiao Luo had said it was a little too far-fetched.
"Three of you, please leave!"
The woman named Xiao Yun gestured for them to leave, her tone turning cold as well.
Xiao Luo placed the teacup down and chuckled gently: "Director Guo, this is the maternity center. Most families would send women here expecting to give birth. I believe your delivery room won't be empty at this time. If Director Guo doesn't believe me, I can prove it to you right this instance in the delivery room."
Si Yueting and Liu Yiyao's faces turned pale in an instance upon hearing this. The two of them hurriedly dragged Xiao Luo to the side.
"Brother Luo, you… you…"
The two women were not even able to finish their whole sentence in that instance. They only felt that Xiao Luo was playing with fire. They would understand if he knew a little knowledge about childbirth, but to say you understood the painless delivery was merely a fantasy. There were so many experts and professors who had yet to discover this, so how could Xiao Luo? This was totally cheating Guo Taining. This con had gone way too far.
Guo Taining turned around this time, pointed at the office door coldly, and shouted: "I have seen a lot of people like you. You're just a salesperson with no bottom line or principles. Get out right now. I don't want to see you for another moment. Get out!"
"Director Guo, if you don't believe me then I'll make you a believer!"
Xiao Luo furrowed his brows. His right index finger and middle finger pinched a thin needle and at the speed of light, pierced into a spot above the eyebrows on Guo Taining's head.
Guo Taining could only feel his head numbing, then a stiff sensation spread from his head to his bottom torsos and limbs. Within two seconds, he could feel that his body was too rigid to even move. His limbs were attached and he could feel their presence, but he couldn't move them. It was like he had lost control of his body.
This… this…
He couldn't help but be shocked, and exclaimed: "What did you do?"
"Director Guo, don't worry. I just caused your brain to lose control of your body temporarily," Xiao Luo said, smiling.
Guo Taining tried several times but still couldn't move his body. The thin needle that was pierced in the acupuncture point above his brows was like a curse that pinned him down.
Si Yueting, Liu Yiyao and the woman called Xiao Yun couldn't help but stare blankly. This was too magical. With just a thin needle he had stopped a person from moving?
Of course they knew that Guo Taining was not acting. He was really unable to move.
"You, what sorcery did you do to me? Quick, release me!" Guo Taining said, panicking.
Xiao Luo smiled slightly and removed the needle. Guo Taining fell back down on the sofa with a plomping sound.
Xiao Luo showed the slender needle in his hand to Guo Taining: "This is Nine Needles. It has been used since ancient times to treat various diseases and its anesthetic abilities are much better than that of painless delivery drugs. With just two needles you would let the patient feel no paint at all, and as long as the patient doesn't feel pain, their body and muscles will relax. It will not affect the delivery process either, it will just promote the smoother opening of the vagina and ensure the third stage advances earlier, thus ushering in new life sooner.
At that point, Guo Taining did not dare to underestimate Xiao Luo and with a bit of apprehension, said: "For real?"
"I've said this before Director Guo. If you don't believe it then we can go to the delivery room for confirmation now."
Xiao Luo calmly continued, "I will pass this method on to you on the condition that you sign a contract with Huayao Group."
This was the real killer move for Guo Taining. The impact of the death of his ex-wife was huge on Guo Taining and he vowed that he would develop a truly painless delivery method during his lifetime. Xiao Luo was now prescribing the correct medicine to the wound with the Nine Needles, and Guo Taining could use it as a channel to benefit society.
"If you are telling the truth, then I will sign a contract with Huayao Group," Guo Taining said seriously. He held on to his glasses.
"Alright."
Xiao Luo smiled. He had managed to take Guo Taining down. Everyone had their weaknesses and Guo Taining's was too obvious. It was recorded down in his basic information yet no one else had been able to make use of it.
