Chapter 407: Chapter 407: Detoxification Liquid

In the afternoon break, Tang Ming, who was sleeping in the classroom, was awakened by a phone call. After answering, Li Xiangui reported to him that Zhou Jian had come to the company and had even taken the role of CEO.

Upon hearing this, Tang Ming immediately became alert, his face showing complete bewilderment as he thought:

"Zhou Jian is just a student, how did he become a CEO? Could it be that scoundrel actually impersonated an imperial edict and really went on to inherit the Minghuang Group?"

When the thought struck him, Tang Ming promptly asked for more details. If the other party was indeed someone bold enough to impersonate an imperial edict, Tang Ming would definitely not let it slide easily.

After Li Xiangui’s explanation, Tang Ming then understood that Zhou Jian truly had the capability to take on the role of CEO in the new company and that his abilities were quite exceptional, forecasting a very broad prospect for future development.

"Damn it, I just picked someone up by the roadside, and it turns out to be a talent. Isn’t this luck a bit too good to be true?"

After hanging up the phone, Tang Ming thought to himself speechlessly. Originally, he just wanted to give Zhou Jian a fresh start. He never expected to have struck gold, recruiting a capable CEO for the company by chance. It really made the old saying true—good deeds bring good rewards.

In the following days, life returned to its peaceful rhythm. Tang Ming spent his days accompanying Liu Mengting to school and left the preparation of Minghuang Pharmaceutical Group entirely to the people of the three major families, acting as nothing more than a hands-off shopkeeper.

After Zhou Jian, this great talent, joined, the preparations for Minghuang Pharmaceutical Group progressed significantly.

Soon, the news of Minghuang Pharmaceutical Group’s impending opening began to spread throughout Songlan City. This news was deliberately disseminated by Zhou Jian. Among them, the most attractive piece of news was that Minghuang Pharmaceutical Group would soon release a new product, Detoxification Liquid, which reportedly came from the same sect as the legendary Detoxification Pill. This fact alone attracted the attention of countless people.

Faced with the upcoming launch of Minghuang Pharmaceutical Group, numerous people began to inquire about the details through various channels. Unfortunately, the Ma Family, Li Family, and Zhou Family were tight-lipped regarding Zhou Jian’s instructions and responded to all inquiries with silence.

This secretive marketing strategy only served to increase many people’s curiosity, causing Minghuang Pharmaceutical Group to become a focal point of attention before it had even opened.

Among all the forces paying attention to Minghuang Pharmaceutical Group, the Qin Family and the Poison Sect were the most concerned.

All of the Qin Family’s businesses expanded from the foundation of the Tianao Pharmaceutical Group. Back then, when Qin Aotian returned from his sect with the golden sore medicine it became an instant hit upon release. Subsequently, many of the ordinary medicines developed by Tianao Pharmaceutical Group also rode on its coattails and became bestsellers, bringing substantial benefits to the Qin Family.

Now, with Minghuang Pharmaceutical Group’s formidable entry into the pharmaceutical field, the Qin Family felt a strong sense of crisis.

For the Poison Sect, the message "Detoxification Liquid hails from the same sect as Detoxification Pill" caught their attention. The sect had been trying to decipher the formula of the Detoxification Pill for some time without success. Now, Minghuang Pharmaceutical Group’s sudden announcement of Detoxification Liquid reignited their hope.

While unsure of how the Detoxification Liquid’s efficacy compared to the Detoxification Pill, the Poison Sect had already decided to immediately procure a batch for research as soon as the product hit the market.

Half a month later, the Minghuang Building, jointly decorated and furnished by the three major families, was completed.

Zhou Jian, in his capacity as CEO of Minghuang Pharmaceutical Group, announced to the public that the group would officially open in three days and concurrently hold a launch event for the new Detoxification Liquid.

In the Qin Family, Qin Aotian paced back and forth in his study with a grim expression on his face.

Qin Haitian stood in front of the desk, anxiously saying, "Dad, Minghuang Pharmaceutical Group has been making too much of a splash. Even before opening, they have already caused a stir in the pharmaceutical industry. If we let them launch successfully, and their Detoxification Liquid turns out to be effective, it will certainly deal a fatal blow to our foundational industry. We must think of a countermeasure."

"What are you yelling about? Aren’t I trying to think of a solution?" Qin Aotian roared back irritably:

"I thought that if we didn’t provoke Tang Ming, he wouldn’t bother us, but I never expected him to be so ruthless as to get involved in the pharmaceutical industry. He’s trying to put us out of business."

"Exactly, Tang Ming is no saint. He definitely won’t let our Qin Family off easily."

Qin Haitian nodded, asking unwillingly, "Father, has there been any news from the sect?"

"Sigh, the Sect Leader and several martial masters died tragically. After Liang Brother returned, he didn’t even know how to explain the situation. It’ll probably be tough for him to come over any time soon." Qin Aotian sighed helplessly, squinting as he said:

"If the major sect behind our sect was willing to take action, we wouldn’t even need to mention that damn Minghuang Pharmaceutical Group; even Tang Ming would be waiting for slaughter. But now, we can only rely on ourselves to get through this difficult time."

Hearing this, Qin Haitian’s face changed slightly as he shrank his head, saying worriedly:

"A Three-star Martial Master isn’t a match for Tang Ming. With our current strength, if we provoke Tang Ming, we are sure to be dealt with harshly."

"Naturally, we can’t confront him with martial force." Qin Aotian stopped in his tracks and said coldly:

"The business world’s ups and downs can’t be navigated through brute strength alone. Since Tang Ming dares to interfere in the pharmaceutical field that our Qin Family dominates, then we’ll find a way to make him lose everything."

"Father, do you have any good ideas?" Qin Haitian looked at Qin Aotian uncertainly.

"Isn’t the first batch of new drugs from the Minghuang Pharmaceutical Group the Detoxification Liquid? All we need to do is find a way to ruin this first batch of their new drugs. That will curb the future development of the Minghuang Pharmaceutical Group and make them infamous from the start. Let’s see how he stands in the pharmaceutical industry then."

Qin Aotian revealed a crafty smile and then began to whisper instructions into Qin Haitian’s ear.

Across from the Minghuang Building, in a room at a Five-star hotel.

Long Duba, dressed in a black robe, was sitting cross-legged on the bed, resting with his eyes closed.

Mei Dufeng stood by the window, looking out at the bustling Minghuang Building, and said leisurely:

"Elder Brother, Tang Ming has invested in the Minghuang Pharmaceutical Group, which has launched the Detoxification Liquid. Do you think it’s related to the Detoxification Pill?"

"If it’s another detoxifying product, even if it’s not exactly the same, it surely must have something in common," Long Duba said confidently with his eyes closed:

"As long as we get a batch of the Detoxification Liquid back for research, we will surely be able to decipher the formula. There’s a very good chance that we might then be able to crack the formula of the Detoxification Pill, which would be a great achievement."

"Yes, exactly!" Mei Dufeng nodded, adding worriedly:

"I’m just afraid that if the Detoxification Liquid from Minghuang Pharmaceutical Group really has the same effect as the Detoxification Pill, then our Poison Sect’s poisons will greatly depreciate in value."

"Are you stupid?"

Long Duba opened his eyes and gave Mei Dufeng a disdainful look, "The Detoxification Liquid is a drug sold to the general public. How often do ordinary people encounter serious poisons? It’s absolutely impossible for Minghuang Pharmaceutical Group’s Detoxification Liquid to possess the miraculous effectiveness of the Detoxification Pill. My current guess is that Tang Ming diluted the Detoxification Pill extensively to create the Detoxification Liquid. In this way, the Detoxification Liquid can have a detoxifying effect without being too rare."
