Li Zhong was furious!
To topple the Su Corporation, Li Zhong had already spent several hundred million yuan on nurturing and bribing spies, not to mention the countless effort he had exerted.
Even more, Li Zhong suspected that his own son had been tampered with by the Su Family.
He had risked his own son, only to steal something so useless. It couldn’t even scratch the enemy’s foundation—How could Li Zhong not be angry?
“President Li, this… I had no idea either. But I can guarantee one hundred percent that the prescription we got is indeed the new drug that the Su Corporation spent ten years developing! There’s definitely no mistake there, and the Su Corporation couldn’t possibly have the energy and time to develop another new drug…”
Li Zhong’s secretary, with a puzzled face, thought rapidly, then suddenly lit up, “I get it! The Su Corporation is trying to deceive us. Their Snow Skin Ointment must be fake, just some nonsense they concocted to fool everyone… It can’t be effective…”
Li Zhong’s secretary, Jin Yang, seemed to have stumbled upon a new continent, celebrating with joy as he couldn’t help but praise his own cleverness.
Li Zhong himself was fully involved in the whole process of stealing the Su Corporation’s secrets. He also knew it was quite unlikely for the Su Family to develop another new drug.
But now the Su Corporation had presented another new drug at the press conference, and there was only one explanation, that the Su Corporation was cheating everyone; the medicine couldn’t possibly be real.
“President Su, is this medicine really as miraculous as you say? The ancient prescription you mentioned, has it been verified? Is it harmful to humans, and who will bear the consequences of the side effects?”
In the crowd, someone had already shouted out at Su Yixue.
In fact, Li Zhong wanted to ask the same, but since someone had spoken up, he was happy to stay quiet and just watch the drama unfold.
Old man wants to see, Su Yixue, just how will you wriggle out of this checkmate today?
“I…” Standing on the stage, although Su Yixue had already received a positive affirmation from Lei Qianjue, she still felt somewhat uncertain and hesitated for a moment.
That momentary hesitation was immediately seized by the hecklers below; they began to stir the pot, “President Su, are you trying to deceive us? Saying it can heal wounds—if there was such a Divine Medicine, wouldn’t all those cosmetic companies go bankrupt?”
“Yeah? If anyone could claim they’re using an ancient prescription to make a beauty ointment and earn money, then making money would be too easy!”
“Fraud! Su Yixue, you’re committing fraud!”
“Fraud! Fraud!”
The emotions of everyone on the scene, incited by provocateurs, instantly surged, and the chanting began to crescendo.
The scene was starting to spiral out of control.
The distributors under the Su Corporation were all looking dejected, secretly thinking about how they might contact the Li Family later to find an opportunity for cooperation.
“Su Yixue, have you no shame left? How did you come up with such a clumsy method? Spreading such a big lie, isn’t it easily exposed?” Li Zhong spoke up, and the crowd below fell silent, “President Su, I think you should sell the Su Corporation to our Li Family… Hmm, two hundred and fifty thousand, I can’t offer more!”
Li Zhong was deliberately humiliating Su Yixue.
When Su Yixue didn’t know what to do, Ye Fan quietly touched Lei Qianjue’s arm at the side of the stage.
Lei Qianjue knew it was his turn to step in!
“What’s this? Who here doubts the authenticity of this prescription? Do you not believe in my medical skills, or what?” Divine Doctor Lei Qianjue, holding the mic, stepped onto the stage, instantly causing screams from the people below.
“Ah? Is it the Great Xia Medical Saint Lei Qianjue?”
“Heavens! It’s really Old Master Lei?”
“What does this mean, Old Master Lei’s presence suggests that he provided the ancient prescription? If that’s the case, the Snow Skin Ointment from the Su Corporation is probably real!”
“Interesting! Today’s drama is even more exciting than a movie!”
The noisy crowd, energized by the appearance of Lei Qianjue, was swept into another climax.
However, the mood and attitude of the people had already begun to change.
If it were only the Su Family claiming to possess an ancient prescription, everyone would harbor doubts.
But now, with the Great Xia Medical Saint Lei Qianjue personally backing the Su Corporation, that credibility was quite sufficient.
“`
Is the foremost medical expert of Great Xia not persuasive enough?
“Ladies and gentlemen! This prescription was obtained by accident, and according to the ingredients and refining methods recorded in ancient texts, I concocted an ointment last night. It has proven to possess the described functions—wound healing and blemish removal, with visible results in mere minutes!”
Boom!
Lei Qianjue was actually endorsing a new drug for the Su Corporation, and he personally attested to the ointment’s efficacy?
What was going on?
You should know that as a renowned Divine Doctor across Great Xia, Lei Qianjue had cured countless magnates, the wealthy, and the powerful!
In need of money? That was simply impossible!
Moreover, for many years, Lei Qianjue had never endorsed any commercial company. Any good prescriptions he had were directly released online.
Today’s public, and confident endorsement for the Su Corporation was highly abnormal!
But the effect of Lei Qianjue’s involvement was naturally immediate!
As Lei Qianjue’s voice fell, there was a stir among the audience. Then, the responses came rushing in: “If the Divine Doctor himself has vouched for it, I choose to trust the Su Corporation! President Su, my Hongda Pharmaceutical Company would like to collaborate with the Su Corporation. How about we start with an order and a deposit of ten billion?”
“Yuanshan Group also wishes to work with the Su Corporation; we offer a five billion deposit. Please, President Su, give us a chance!”
“Dongfang Group…”
In the blink of an eye, dozens of companies had already expressed their intent to cooperate with Su Yixue, and the initial deposit estimates were already in the hundreds of billions.
With this funding, the development of the Su Corporation was no longer an issue. Rising to become Great Xia’s number one pharmaceutical company was also not a problem.
Su Yixue looked at Lei Qianjue by her side, her eyes filled with joy yet also a touch of worry!
As the president of a pharmaceutical company, Su Yixue was very aware of the difficulty in developing cosmetic ointments.
An ointment that can heal wounds and remove blemishes? Such miraculous functions were absolutely unheard of.
Watching the situation dramatically turn around, Li Zhong was dumbfounded!
Hadn’t he just been mocking the Su Corporation? Was he being slapped in the face so quickly?
“Damn it! What are those in the intelligence department eating?” Li Zhong angrily kicked his secretary Jin Yang, “How could you overlook that old man Lei Qianjue?”
With Lei Qianjue showing up, even if the ointment was a sham, most would believe it to be genuine!
“President Li, according to the arrangements from above, Lei Qianjue should not have appeared in Cloud City at all. So many were deployed to obstruct and assassinate Lei Qianjue, we have no idea why he’s still here now?”
“We’ll settle this later!”
Li Zhong glared fiercely at his secretary, then straightened his throat and stood up to say loudly, “Divine Doctor Lei, it’s not that we don’t believe you! It’s just that the ointment’s effects are too astounding, and we find it hard to believe that it can heal wounds instantly. How can you prove it to us?”
Whoosh!
With Li Zhong speaking out to cause disruption again, all eyes turned to him.
But on second thought, Li Zhong’s words weren’t unreasonable.
Such an incredible ointment, was it not said to show effects within minutes? Wouldn’t demonstrating it on the spot add even more credibility?
Prove it?
How to prove it?
The best way would naturally be to make a cut on the arm, apply the ointment, and if the scar disappeared within minutes, wouldn’t that be enough?
But whose arm should they cut?
