“You can’t be serious, can you?”
Lu Chengwen was going crazy: “I didn’t do anything, nor did I plan to do anything bad. Why is the protagonist here? Shouldn’t the author use their brain? If the villain hasn’t done anything bad, why would the male lead come looking for trouble?”
System: “Oh, oh, I’m very sorry, aren’t you planning to do something to Leng Qingqiu?”
“I have over 600 million worth of defective products in my Pharmaceutical Factory waiting for me to destroy overnight. What would I do to her? Where would I find the time?”
System: “Oh, oh, over there is… let me see… Xu Xuejiao is there… So, you plan to make a move on both female leads simultaneously, got it! You want to increase the difficulty of Long Aotian’s rescue, received! On a side note, this is a brilliant move!”
“You received my ass! I’m not planning to make a move on anyone! I’m just going to destroy medicinal materials! Medicinal materials! Defective medicinal materials!”
System: “Is that so? The plot won’t be very exciting that way. We still hope you can be more proactive and have more ill intentions towards the female leads. That way, the male lead’s storyline will be easier to kick off.”
“You listen to me!” Lu Chengwen tried his best to stay rational and reason with the system: “Long Aotian can kick off his plot or not, I’m absolutely not moving again! I’m not interested in the female leads, not a single one. Tomorrow, I’ll deal with both of them, absolutely no dragging it out!”
“Deal with them? You mentioned the word ‘deal with them’. I understand! So, you plan to make a move on the two main female leads tomorrow, and it will be the kind that is utterly depraved, wicked, heartless, and inhuman, right?”
Lu Chengwen cried:
“Big Sister, please let me go! I’ve died six times, and each time was miserable. Can you just let me live a little longer? I won’t touch either of these two women. By the way, can you make them stop circling around me? I’m not the protagonist! Shouldn’t their leisure time be spent with the male lead Long Aotian… you know… all sorts of ambiguity… all sorts of… eye candy and such? Ultimately, the plot is already this messed up on the first day, you guys have direct responsibility, alright!”
System: “Host, you’ve got it wrong. In reality, everyone, everything, and every event here is real. We only exist as supervisors and observers. The only things we can do are related to your plot progression, ability enhancement, and limited off-site communication. We cannot control what the male lead and female leads do, where they go, or who they get close to, nor are we interested in controlling it.”
Lu Chengwen suddenly calmed down and began to analyze.
“Real? All real? So… I must have done something… to make them intentionally get involved with me… No, I didn’t do anything!”
“With Leng Qingqiu, I wanted to break off the engagement, but she refused, and she was the one who came to find me at night.”
“Xu Xuejiao… with Xu Xuejiao, Long Aotian was going to make a move, and I stopped him. Did she know? No, she shouldn’t have known. In the Pharmaceutical Factory… she seemed very certain that I would destroy the unqualified medicines…”
System interrupted: “A quick reminder, successfully survive the first day and you can claim the First Day Grand Gift Pack!”
“First Day Grand Gift Pack, many good items, many great deals! The First Day Grand Gift Pack will be your aid on your path to self-destruction, allowing you to fully engage in the conflict with the male lead, and enjoy the ultimate exhilarating experience before being crushed to death, ensuring you die without regret and with a smile!”
Lu Chengwen shook his head: “You’re truly a dog.”
...
After settling Leng Qingqiu in a clean guest bedroom and letting her sleep, he immediately called Zhao Gang and rushed to the Pharmaceutical Factory.
If I die, I die.
If the King of Hell wants me dead by the third watch, the system will absolutely not let me live until the fifth watch.
But if it’s as the system hinted, then this is a… real world?
Is the system a highly intelligent group of beings that transcends this world? They won’t interfere with or forcibly change the logic and operation of this world, is that what it means?
No matter what, I’ll deal with it after today. The GG of the First Day Grand Gift Pack was well-played, it made my blood boil. Although it sounded like it was hoping for my death, I can only qualify to live if I get it.
Long Aotian, I’m going to go head-to-head with you!
You want to crush me to death?
I refuse to believe it. I won’t do a single bad thing, and I’ll kneel down when I see you. Would you dare to crush me to death?
...
The process was smooth.
Under the supervision of several parties, batches of finished medicines poured into the shredder, turning into dregs and waste, which were then recycled as waste by a third party.
Lu Chengwen supervised the entire process.
Xu Xuejiao also stayed up all night, supervising the entire process.
Xu Xuejiao was very serious, not missing a single detail. Of course, other relevant personnel were the same.
Everyone was very nervous and knew what this meant.
Lu Chengwen watched the last batch of medicinal materials turn into waste, a calm smile appearing on his lips.
【Phew, I guess I did something good, right?】
Lu Chengwen thought with a bitter smile:
【No matter what, these medicines have been destroyed, so no one will be harmed. If I’m going to die in this world tomorrow, at least I did something meaningful today.】
【It was worth it!】
Xu Xuejiao was not far away, looking at Lu Chengwen’s profile, and was shocked to hear these words.
Is this guy going to die?
Is it because he’s going to die that he suddenly changed and became a good person?
Impossible, he’s Lu Chengwen! He has a professional team of private doctors who monitor the health of his entire family. If someone had a major problem, that team wouldn’t remain so quiet!
What exactly is going on?
However, this guy… when he’s sad, he really looks like a melancholic prince.
“Xu Zong.”
“Huh?” Xu Xuejiao quickly turned her head.
The engineer nodded with relief: “It’s all done.”
“Got it.”
The leader of the Drug Administration went to shake hands with Lu Chengwen.
“Lu Zong, I know that making such a decision requires immense courage and moral support. No one knows what kind of storm Ninth Pharmaceutical Factory will face tomorrow. But as a pharmaceutical professional, I want to express our highest respect and gratitude for your decision on behalf of all our colleagues.”
Lu Chengwen smiled: “It’s not as serious as you think. At most, the Pharmaceutical Factory will close down, and I’ll be cursed like dog shit by the media, that’s all.”
The leader smiled and patted Lu Chengwen’s shoulder: “Then we’ll call it a day. If you need anything, contact us.”
“Thank you, everyone has worked hard.”
It was almost dawn.
In the distant sky, a ray of morning glow was slowly rising.
Lu Chengwen was exhausted.
On his first day of transmigration, he avoided direct conflict with the protagonist Long Aotian twice; he met with the two main female leads twice, and managed to keep his distance, trying his best to destroy the ties between them.
Although none of it was very successful, he was still alive and his legs were still there, which was good news.
People who had worked overtime all night walked out to start their cars and go home to rest.
Lu Chengwen walked tiredly to his car. At this moment, Zhang Zongjian walked up to Lu Chengwen: “Lu Zong.”
“Oh, Zhang Zongjian, I’m so tired. Can we talk tomorrow, okay?”
Zhang Zongjian smiled bitterly: “Just one sentence.”
Lu Chengwen was extremely annoyed. He really didn’t have the energy to deal with these people anymore.
“Alright, alright, alright, hurry up and say it. I’m exhausted.”
“Thank you.” Zhang Zongjian bowed deeply to him, straightened up, his eyes moist and his smile relieved: “I will resign tomorrow, you don’t have to worry.”
Zhang Zongjian turned to leave, but Lu Chengwen called out to him: “Wait a moment. Why are you resigning?”
“I…”
Lu Chengwen understood. This time, he had “caused” himself to lose hundreds of millions, so he wanted to resign.
Lu Chengwen smiled: “Zhang Laoshi, you are the pillar of our Ninth Pharmaceutical Factory. If it weren’t for you today with this batch of medicine, I wouldn’t dare to imagine the consequences. You cannot resign. If you leave, who will tip me off about such things in the future? Who will help me correct my mistakes? Even if you hate me and think I’m not human, you must have some feelings for the Ninth Pharmaceutical Factory, right? Those patients, those who need truly good medicine and miraculous medicine, need you to stay here and help them with quality control.”
Zhang Zongjian could hardly believe that such humane words would come out of Lu Chengwen’s mouth.
He was incredibly shocked and deeply moved.
“Lu Zong, I sincerely say, I misunderstood you before, and I apologize to you. What happened today truly opened my eyes. From now on…”
“Alright, alright, alright…” Lu Chengwen said: “Zhang Laoshi, I really don’t have the energy to accept your apology or gratitude. Get some good rest and continue working tomorrow. I’m tired. Can we talk tomorrow, okay? I had a terrible day today.”
“Oh, then, alright, you get some rest early.”
Lu Chengwen exhaled, and Zhao Gang gave him a thumbs up: “Young Master, you’re amazing! That performance was just right.”
Lu Chengwen was expressionless: “Is that so?”
“Absolutely Oscar-winning level acting! Old Zhang was almost crying!”
“Shut up, drive.”
“Yes!”
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded nearby: “Chengwen Gege, are you leaving already?”
Lu Chengwen had already opened the car door. He turned his head and saw Xu Xuejiao standing not far away. She had been standing there for a while, and had seen his conversation with Zhang Zongjian.
“You’re quite good at winning people over, aren’t you?” Xu Xuejiao said: “Now Zhang Laoshi will probably admire you immensely.”
Lu Chengwen rested his forehead on the car door frame for five seconds to compose himself, then looked up: “Whatever you want to do, let’s talk tomorrow. I’m not doing anything today. If you have the guts, let Long Aotian come and kill me right now!”
“Why do you keep bringing up that person?” Xu Xuejiao also yawned: “It’s already dawn, treat me to breakfast.”
Lu Chengwen looked at her and shook his head, calmly saying: “Tomorrow, after the press conference. Either you transfer all your shares to me, or I transfer all my shares to you. From now on, we’ll be strangers, never seeing each other again, okay?”
Xu Xuejiao didn’t know what was wrong with this person. Where had she offended him?
Why did he hate her so much?
Xu Xuejiao felt hurt.
Since childhood, boys who liked to play with her came in droves, and all of them praised her as beautiful as a fairy and intelligent and charming.
Why did this guy look at her like she was dog shit?
Xu Xuejiao was displeased: “Why do you suddenly dislike me so much?”
Lu Chengwen opened the car door: “I don’t know, it’s not important, goodbye.”
After speaking, he didn’t reply, got in and closed his eyes to rest: “Zhao Gang, home.”
Watching Lu Chengwen’s car drive away.
Xu Xuejiao was so wronged.
That deadhead, there must be something wrong with him!
When I was little, he always tricked me into saying he’d be my doctor. How can he treat me like this now?
You want to stay far away from me? I’ll cling to you! Annoy you to death!
Lu Chengwen returned home, took off his jacket and threw it on the floor, then flopped straight down onto the bed and fell asleep.
The sun was high in the sky.
Lu Chengwen finally showed signs of waking up. His arm moved unconsciously, and without realizing it, landed on a soft, fluffy mound.
Hmm?
He squeezed it twice, it was quite soft.
What is this?
He opened his eyes.
I’m dead.
