Chapter 300 Potions
provincial capital.
I got out of Song Xin's car under Zhao Xing's strange gaze.
"She went to Liancheng to inspect projects, and I ran into her. She brought me back with her."
"oh--"
What kind of look is that...?
Unable to withstand Zhao Xing's pressure any longer, I went to find Chen Yitang and handed her the health-preserving medicine.
"This is a health supplement for you and Xin Xin. One packet a day, and a refill once a month. It's not available on the market."
Chen Yitang curiously picked it up and examined it: "What's its purpose?"
"To stay young forever."
"cut--"
"That's an exaggeration. It slows down aging, delaying it by at least 20 years. The treatment course is over 10 years. I spent a lot of money to set up a biotechnology company and a traditional Chinese medicine laboratory in Liancheng."
Chen Yitang's eyes sparkled: "Wouldn't it be more profitable to sell them?"
"It is not yet certain whether it will be available for distribution."
The woman, regardless of the occasion, offered a kiss directly.
"sister in law--"
"You called out again—"
"Can you feel it?"
"You still dare to say that—"
The office door was locked from the inside. Whatever, I'll just have my fun for a bit first...
"When I get back from the US, I'll fight until dawn."
"Yes, sister-in-law, we'll wait for you to come back."
Holy crap.
You understand!
I'm reluctant to leave...
hotel.
Pushing open the door, Wen Yining, Zhao Xing, Song Xin, and surprisingly, Long Wu was also there.
"Oh, so that's how you see it, Young Master Long."
"Brother Shen, we're just having a meal today."
"Haha, I'm here to eat."
They sat down at the dining table.
Song Xin raised her glass to me and said, "Young Master Long has some financial dealings with the Song family. He originally wanted us to have a private dinner together, but Young Master Long was too enthusiastic and insisted on meeting and having a drink with you, Brother Shen. I'll just consider this dinner a favor to you."
"It's nothing. I've never thanked Young Master Long for going easy on me and letting me get involved in the Gongshan Nursing Home project. What a coincidence, let's drink to our hearts' content."
"Cheers!"
The circle is still the same circle. Long Wu, Song Xin, and Wen Yining already knew each other; it's just that someone unexpectedly appeared out of nowhere.
Because of the addition of Long Wu, the conversation at the dinner was not very open.
Most of the time, it's mostly trivial matters in the city.
In the end, it was Longwu who paid the bill.
The hotel has a tea room.
Long Wu left after finishing his drink, while Wen Yining, Zhao Xing, Song Xin, and I stayed behind for tea.
I couldn't help but say, "Something's not right with this Dragon Martial Arts."
"How so?"
"They're all young masters and noblemen, is it really necessary to be so attentive, practically begging us to have dinner? Even if you, President Song, have financial dealings with him, he still pays interest, isn't that a cooperative relationship?"
Song Xin smiled and said, "Although Long Wu is a member of the Long family of Jingcheng, he has already been excluded."
"What do you mean?"
"Family competition has always been brutal, much more intense than taking civil service exams or postgraduate entrance exams in society. Under the same conditions provided by the family, grades, IQ, and performance are all evaluated comprehensively. The eldest son of the Long family, Long Ping'an, is so outstanding that no one in his generation can rival him, so Long Wu was abandoned."
"Give up? I don't see it that way at all. They easily secured the Gongshan elderly care project, and they even have two bodyguards with them when they go out. There's no sign that they've been abandoned."
"His mother is powerful. Out of respect for his mother, he got 3 million yuan from me."
Oh, so that's where the funding for the Gongshan Gold Mine came from.
"This guy, abandoned by his family, is this powerful even in the provincial capital?"
"Although he may not have a voice, he can still influence you. Who knows when or what you might do? He might not be able to help you succeed, but a single word from him could ruin everything. What, do you have a grudge against Long Wu?"
I'll recount the events at the Gongshan Gold Mine, but I'll skip the part about Jin Hu.
Song Xin considered for a moment and said, "I'm not worried about anything. With your current power, Long Wu doesn't have the strength to fight you unless his elder brother Long Ping'an intervenes. However, without tangible benefits, the price to pay for rashly becoming your opponent would be too high. Instead of wasting your time and energy, you should focus on building your own political achievements and seniority."
"That's true."
After a few cups of tea.
Song Xin's beautiful eyes lit up: "President Shen, let's talk about what happened between you and me in the car?"
"bump!"
Zhao Xing and Wen Yining placed their teacups on the tea table at the same time.
"Um, speak properly—"
Song Xin chuckled: "About that retirement potion."
Zhao Xing and Wen Yining were also staring at me. They had heard that Lingling used this product a few years ago, and even now, all three women were extremely envious of her skin.
I gathered my thoughts: "Due to the scarcity of Chinese medicine, the pharmacy has been making improvements for many years, and it was only last month that the simplification was successfully completed, allowing for small-scale mass production."
"Mass production?"
Several women's eyes lit up; they looked like they wanted to devour me.
"Small scale... limited production capacity, only enough for a few people."
"Is this what you call mass production?"
"The daily production of about 1 kilogram of concentrated Chinese medicine is enough for 15 people to drink at one time. This product needs to be used once a day for 10 years."
There's nothing we can do about it; the original prescription's ingredients are just too difficult to find.
I wonder when we'll be able to gather enough supplies for so many people.
The key point is that I want to use it commercially, as an exclusive method.
"Drinking it every day for 10 years? That's unbelievable!"
I shrugged: "You've all met my wife. See for yourselves how effective she is."
These words were meant for Song Xin's ears.
In front of her, I said to Zhao Xing and Wen Yining, "I only brought enough for two people to the provincial capital this time, enough for a one-month course of treatment. The next course will be delivered regularly every month."
"Hey, you can't do this to me! We were having a great time chatting on the bus, and now that we're in the provincial capital, how come there's only enough for two people?"
I originally intended to sell it to Song Xin.
Anyone with eyes to see that at tonight's dinner, the Song family was siding with the Long family.
I have never been one to aid the enemy.
"It was agreed years ago that once it was developed, it would be used by two people first... I have no choice, Mr. Song, if you want it, I'll put you in the production line!"
It was already quite late since we had finished eating.
Song Xin went back to her hotel room to rest.
Only the three of us remained.
Zhao Xing laughed and said, "You're really bold to make Song Xin suffer. She's petty; you can tell from her attitude towards Young Master Yuan. She's her own cousin, and she'll hit him without hesitation."
"Isn't Young Master Yuan going to fight back?"
"His own cousin, whose parents still have high hopes for him, was dealt with by Old Yuan before he could even make a move."
"Young Master Yuan is so dashing and charming, why doesn't Old Master Yuan have another child? Shouldn't a large family have many children, like raising a venomous insect, so that a 'venom king' will emerge?"
Wen Yining shook her head: "You're overthinking it. Family advancement is a process of upward mobility. During this process, there will be a reproductive period with a large number of children. There will always be people like Long Ping'an and Song Xin, but there will be many more good-for-nothings like Long Wu. Once the family reaches a certain level, eugenics will be ingrained in their genes. Even if they wanted to have more children, where would they find the time and energy?"
"Just like the Liu family, why did they insist on marrying Wang Yan from the Wang family? First, because of her good genes and high intelligence, and second, because Wang Yan's talent for business is well-known in overseas Chinese circles."
