Chapter 227: Chapter 227 Drugs are Poisonous

"Even with a veil on, she looks so beautiful!"

Chen Dashan watched Ning Caizhu scamper away, frowning as he said, "She’s a patient, we don’t need to bother with her. It must be that her ’Missy’ disease is acting up again."

"Have you got everything sorted out?"

Qin Xuan nodded, hugged Chen Dashan’s arm, and looked up at him with a smiling face, "Yes, we’ve agreed on this, and I’ll be waiting for Brother Dashan!"

Chen Dashan dotingly tapped Qin Xuan on the nose.

Qin Xuan had a gentle and naive personality, with eyes and heart only for him. He rarely refused her requests.

The two made their entrance.

The scene was buzzing with excitement. Wang Shiman, dressed in a sharp sheath dress, was onstage with a microphone in one hand and a medicine bottle in the other, enthusiastically introducing the Beautifying Pill to the crowd.

Several men and women who had used the Beautifying Pill stood by, ready to give their testimonials.

When Chen Dashan entered, Wang Shiman’s eyes lit up, and she spoke with even more passion, "Our Beautifying Pill, both its ingredients and clinical trials, has undergone rigorous screening. We exercise strict control over the ingredients, which is why we can only accept a limited number of orders recently."

"At Chenwang Pharmaceutical, we don’t make merchandise of inferior quality just to make money, nor will we be irresponsible to all consumers."

As soon as she finished speaking,

"Whirl and buzz..."

The room erupted into thunderous applause, and Liu Qianqian shouted from the crowd, "I support Chenwang Pharmaceutical! Everyone look, this is a photo of me before I used the product. My pores were large, and my skin was dull, but now I look like a completely different person. Isn’t such a product truly effective, perhaps even more so than spending a fortune at a beauty salon?"

"Yes, the melasma on my face has faded a great deal."

"This Beautifying Pill is definitely a hit, a real money-maker!"

"Our Tianming Pharmacy is placing an order for three million!"

"Jianmin Pharmacy is ordering five million!"

"And me, from Hengshui City’s Tianming Pharmacy, three million!"

...

A swarm of pharmacy owners and pharmaceutical companies began fighting to place their orders first, making the scene incredibly lively. Some were even ready to pay on the spot to secure the products.

Chen Dashan stood at the back of the room, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

The effort of this period was paying off. If things continued like this, it wouldn’t be long before he achieved financial freedom.

"Wait a minute!"

Just then, the promotional hall’s glass doors were pulled open from outside, and Qi Shuzhu, leading a large group of people, stormed in.

Everyone in the room turned to look.

The crowd was puzzled as they looked at the young girl leading the way, her extravagant attire, custom-fit dress, and arrogant demeanor, displaying contempt for everyone present.

Wang Shiman on stage, upon seeing Qi Shuzhu, felt her heart flip and grasped the microphone tightly, saying, "Please leave; our promotion does not seem to have extended an invitation to you, did it?"

Wang Shiman forced herself to appear calm.

Security guards in black immediately stepped forward, surrounding Qi Shuzhu and her entourage.

Qi Shuzhu, unruffled, looked around at the crowd with a smile and declared, "I am the Miss of the Qi Family from Hengshui City, Qi Shuzhu!"

The Qi Family?

"Really? Isn’t the Qi Family from Hengshui City a leading pharmaceutical company?"

"Yeah, I heard the Qi Family has built, what, seven or eight hospitals? And they have a chain of pharmacies and medical devices. They’re very powerful..."

"What are the Qi Family people doing here? Could it be that they’re also here for the Beautifying Pill?"

The crowd whispered among themselves, abuzz with speculation.

The first shock was that the Qi Family, major players in Hengshui’s pharmaceutical scene, would also be at the event, and the second was that no one could guess Qi Shuzhu’s purpose for coming. Only Chen Dashan remained composed, standing at the back of the crowd, watching Qi Shuzhu perform.

Qi Shuzhu looked up, casting a cold smirk at Wang Shiman on stage.

She strode confidently onto the stage and said, "I know you don’t welcome me here, but no matter, I’ll just say a few words and leave."

Wang Shiman’s face showed panic as she turned her gaze towards the security guards below the stage and shouted loudly, "What are you waiting for, quickly throw them out!"

Wang Shiman knew in her heart that Qi Shuzhu was a person who would stop at nothing to get what she wanted. Her presence today must have been premeditated, and allowing her to speak would doom Chenwang Pharmaceutical beyond recovery; she would not give Wang Shiman a chance.

"I’d like to see who dares to make a move!"

Qi Shuzhu’s expression darkened, and the professional bodyguards she brought with her immediately took action.

The atmosphere at the scene was tense, as if filled with the smoke of battle.

The crowd was completely baffled, unable to understand what was going on.

Qi Shuzhu said, "Everyone may not know yet."

"This Beautifying Pill and Liver Protecting Pills are actually banned substances. The lead content in the Beautifying Pill is severely excessive. Users might initially feel their skin improving, but long-term use will not only cause their skin to become dull and age prematurely, it could also lead to death!"

"And the Liver Protecting Pills, their concentration of medication is two hundred times more than what is standard for normal drugs. Would you dare to take such Liver Protecting Pills?"

"You’re talking nonsense!"

Wang Shiman, visibly tense, looked at the crowd and immediately refuted Qi Shuzhu.

Qi Shuzhu was calm and collected, as if holding a winning hand.

Someone whispered, "Is this true or false?"

"I wondered why the Beautifying Pill was so effective. Turns out it’s poisonous!"

"This can’t be possible, I’ve been using these Liver Protecting Pills for over a week now, and I really feel much better. Even if the Qi Family is powerful, they can’t just slander people without evidence, right?"

"Yeah, you’ve got to show proof if you’re going to accuse someone!"

The crowd below was in an uproar.

Even Han Yifei stood up from the guest seating, looking towards Qi Shuzhu on stage and said in a cold voice, "Miss Qi, every word you say that negatively impacts Chenwang Pharmaceutical will have legal consequences."

"Please be cautious with your words!"

"Hmph!"

Qi Shuzhu snorted coldly, not taking Han Yifei seriously at all.

She turned to look at Wang Shiman, who was in a state of urgency, and said, "Whether I’m talking nonsense or not, you’ll find out soon enough!"

With that, Qi Shuzhu signaled the Qi Family members below with a look. Someone immediately began distributing a stack of documents to the people at the scene. Qi Shuzhu said, "Whether I’m speaking rubbish or not is for you to judge. Take a look at these test reports, then think about your orders!"

The crowd looked curiously down at the documents in their hands.

Someone exclaimed in shock, "This... this is a report from the Furong County Drug Testing Center, how... how could this be?"

"There’s also a report from the Hengshui City Drug Quality Inspection Center, this..."

"The substances in here are way beyond the legal limit, isn’t this playing with people’s lives?"

"I definitely wouldn’t want this medicine!"

Everyone’s face was filled with shock, looking at Wang Shiman on stage, their teeth itching with hatred, feeling like fools who had been deceived and still frantically grabbing for the drugs. If it weren’t for the Qi Family, these drugs would have caused disasters once taken back, and their businesses would have been ruined.

The atmosphere was heavy.

Everybody pointed at Wang Shiman demanding an explanation.

Wang Shiman, standing in the middle of the stage, looked helplessly towards Chen Dashan at the back of the room.

It was then that Chen Dashan finally stepped out from an inconspicuous corner toward the outside, "A single report can be faked; it doesn’t prove anything, does it?"
