My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!
Chapter 62 - 61: Can Beauty Be Eaten as Medicine?

Chapter 62: Chapter 61: Can Beauty Be Eaten as Medicine?

Every person who decides to turn around and leave has once stood in the cold wind for a very long time.

Behind every success, there is a period of silent time.

These two lines fully interpret the first half of Gao Yuan’s life.

At most, the TV drama was just an inducement, not the main cause.

But when someone hits the nail on the head like this, it’s inevitable for anyone to feel, "How does he understand me so well?" "That’s strange" "I’ve been completely seen through."

Ever since then, whenever Gao Yuan looked at Meng Lang, there was always an indefinable meaning in her eyes.

The atmosphere at the scene became somewhat mysteriously odd, so everyone decided to end the conversation.

At the entrance of the café.

"Mr. Meng, I’m very glad to have met you today, and I hope we have the chance to discuss ’The Wanli Era’ again in the future,"

"Of course, I’m very happy to find like-minded people.

By the way, I didn’t prepare much, but please take this as a meeting gift for Miss Gao."

Meng Lang said as he passed a small box over.

"What is this?"

Gao Yuan reached out to open it, but Meng Lang spoke.

"Wait until Miss Gao has left before opening it, there’s an instruction manual inside."

The two women were both baffled. You give a gift and it comes with an instruction manual?

"Well... alright then, thank you, Mr. Meng."

She watched as Gao Yuan got into a taxi and left.

Meng Lang had just turned around when he met Lin Haitang’s scrutinizing gaze.

"What’s up? Staring at me like that, have I become handsome?"

"Something’s off! You’re really off!" Lin Haitang didn’t play along.

"What’s off?"

"I’ve been to your room, you don’t have a bookshelf, and you definitely don’t have ’The Wanli Era’."

"Uh..."

Shoot, his mistake was a pear!

Books are never appreciated until they are needed!

"Don’t you know that nowadays everyone reads on their phones?" Meng Lang feigned calmness.

"You say you read ’The Wanli Era’ on your phone?" Lin Haitang gave him a sideways glance.

"Yes! Information age, the country even promotes paperless offices, so I don’t waste paper, I just use electricity, it’s more environmentally friendly.

I even drink red wine from a thermos. Got a problem with that?"

Lin Haitang: "..."

"Anyway, I still think you’re acting strange, your actions after meeting Gao Yuan make me think you’re... how should I put it, right! Fawning!"

Lin Haitang thought hard for a while before finding the right adjective.

Meng Lang glared. "What do you mean? How could this be called fawning?"

At most, I just wanted to hitch my wagon to a star!

"Hey, you couldn’t possibly be... not wanting to strive anymore?" Lin Haitang looked at him with a weird expression.

Meng Lang was stunned and it took him a moment to respond.

"You’re the one not wanting to strive! I’m full of fighting spirit!"

"Really? She’s divorced, and she has 3.5 billion, yet you’re not tempted?" Lin Haitang teased him.

"Ha! You really think I came here today to latch onto a wealthy woman?"

"I didn’t think so initially, but now..."

"A mere 3.5 billion, do I need to latch on?" Meng Lang expressed disdain.

But 350 billion, that would be a different story...

A mere 3.5 billion? Those words left Lin Haitang speechless.

"How much is your salary that you dare to scorn 3.5 billion?

Do you know that there are only 200,000 people in the country with a net worth over a hundred million, and even fewer, only five to six thousand, have more than a billion?"

"That few?" Meng Lang was startled, he really didn’t know that.

"Yeah, now you see how close you are to giving up, right?"

"So what, the Meng family has a maxim: wealth should not breed immorality!"

"...Alright, even if I believe you, you’re not after her money, but here you are, freely providing intelligence, catering to her interests, and even giving gifts to increase your likability... what are you aiming at? Are you interested in her as a person?"

What am I aiming at? I am indeed interested in her as a person, but not in the way you think.

With only ten million, how could I build a 350 billion medical empire and break into the top five nationwide?

Even if you were given 3.5 billion as startup capital, could you do it?

The previous episodes and the ones before that, with their dismal business management, told him he couldn’t...

In business, his talent is probably in the negative.

Ms. Gao Yuan, on the other hand, provided us with another outstanding answer... It only took 20 years!

years for a 100-fold investment return, with an annualized yield exceeding 26%—where else would you find such talent?

That’s right, in "Her Second Half Life," a vast majority of the text describes the legendary deeds of Gao Yuan.

Of course, it also intersperses the story of how the male protagonist was squashed and moulded by this legend, completely unable to fight back...

[With the early intel I provided, Gao Yuan escaped her fate.

But no one knows what exactly happened that critical evening; by the time I met her again, she had completely changed as a person.

She became colder, more silent, with a vacant look in her eyes.

She kept her promise and, at the exceptionally low price of ten million, transferred some shares to me, allowing me to successfully enter the board of Changqing Biological, becoming part of the decision-making circle, and she supported my animal vaccine development plan!

However, managing a company turned out to be far more complex than I had imagined.

Especially the lingering influence of the Xu Group, which also brought hidden dangers.

Xu Jingsong’s decision to use this company as a bargaining chip for division clearly indicated that the internal problems of the company were enough to be called "substandard assets" within the Xu Group.

At that time, Changqing Biological could be described as a disorganized mess, beset with internal and external troubles.

But unexpectedly, Gao Yuan demonstrated exceptional management skills and unusually strong decisiveness and tactics, quickly consolidating the company, eliminating unstable elements, and swiftly getting it back on track.

This was a pleasant surprise, making me think I had stumbled upon a treasure.

Half a year later, thanks to the critical data I provided, Changqing Biological Laboratory successfully developed the first "African Z virus gene deletion attenuated live vaccine."

As expected, this vaccine saved the dining tables of the entire Country Hua, turning into a household name and a star company overnight, instantly becoming a dark horse in the animal medical field.

Under Gao Yuan’s capital maneuvering, Changqing Biological skyrocketed like a rocket, drastically expanding in scale and approaching a market value of a hundred billion!

And I knew that Changqing Biological was standing on the brink of an even greater opportunity with limitless prospects!

However, just as I was preparing for the next step in my plan, that woman had already silently completed her total control over the company, and soon flashed her sharp fangs at me...

Yes, I was kicked out of the board.

I still enjoyed dividends every year, but could no longer influence the company’s decisions.

It proved the old saying: success or failure, it all comes down to one person.

I angrily questioned her, but what I received was just a cold laugh from her.

"You’ve gone from a mere millionaire to a billionaire worth nearly a billion, what’s there to be dissatisfied with?

After all, we were both using each other; how could it be despicable? When you helped me initially, wasn’t it for benefit too?"

I was momentarily speechless.

I thought I could take advantage of favors, but in her eyes, was it just profiteering off of a disaster?

"People can only be betrayed by friends; enemies never have the chance to betray or sell out, and I... have no friends!"

I listened to these words in a daze, watching her lonely back as she walked farther and farther away...

In a sense, it was Gao Yuan and I together who built Changqing Biological.

But as the saying goes, ’every meeting must part,’ I could only watch as a bystander while it constructed high buildings, while it hosted banquets...

The market value of Changqing Biological climbed higher and higher—hundred billion, two hundred billion, three hundred and fifty billion...

years later, under Gao Yuan’s hands, it grew step by step into one of the top five giant medical groups in the country.

But... where’s my medicine?]

"What? Isn’t Ms. Gao beautiful?" Lin Haitang asked, seeing that Meng Lang hadn’t responded and thus asking again.

"Of course she’s beautiful," Meng Lang replied absently, his thoughts interrupted.

"Then doesn’t that excite you?" Lin Haitang seemed quite concerned about this question, persistently asking.

"Haha! Can beauty be eaten as medicine?"

Lin Haitang: "???"
