Chapter 350: Three hundred fifty authoritative scams!_1

The three of them got into the car together, with the daughter and wife sitting on either side of him.

The Dong Yuwei who had been with him earlier was sent home by someone.

Even though nothing had happened between the two of them last night, Ji Pianran’s seemingly smiling but not smiling expression made Gu Chen feel inexplicably guilty. Only his daughter Tangtang was blissfully ignorant,

innocently complimenting Ji Pianran by saying, "The young auntie who was standing next to Daddy just now is really pretty..."

Backstabbed by his daughter, Gu Chen suddenly felt the temperature in the car drop a few degrees.

This little one really knew how to stir the pot!

"The most beautiful woman in the world is only Mommy, you know that, right?"

Gu Chen reached out and pinched Tangtang’s little nose.

This was indeed a loaded question!

Upon hearing Gu Chen’s words, Ji Pianran finally smiled, her lips pursed.

"I didn’t say anything, don’t be nervous."

Ji Pianran still had trust in her husband’s character.

After all, he used to be only interested in drinking and gambling and she’d never heard of him getting involved with any girls.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have waited for him for so long.

Gu Chen was eager for the topic to pass.

He coughed and tried hard to find an appropriate topic to save himself from this awkward atmosphere.

His brain was working overtime at this moment, and then a spark of inspiration struck him, prompting him to quickly turn to Uncle Guang.

"Right, Uncle Guang, once we get back, go register an organization.

I’ve already thought of the name—call it the ’International Health Medicine Certification Association’.

Once the procedures are done, appoint some more people, and make the event a bit grander.

When the time comes, hold an award ceremony, and remember to take lots of photos to bring back."

Bai Guang felt confused upon hearing this. The Ji Family had never registered any such organization until now.

Not to mention that the Ji Family had always been involved in the department store and restaurant industries in Chuan City.

This was their first foray into the health medicine business, and they were making such big claims right off the bat—could this really be pulled off?

And after listening to Gu Chen, it seemed he even planned to hold an award ceremony, which puzzled Bai Guang even more.

"Son-in-law, this award ceremony you’re talking about, which enterprise are you planning to give it to?"

Gu Chen was somewhat speechless when he heard this, and said with a bit of irritation,

"What do you think, Uncle Guang? Of course, we are awarding it to ourselves. Otherwise, do you think we should give it to Xu Qingmu?"

As his words fell, the few people in the car were momentarily dumbstruck.

Setting up an organization and then using the organization’s name to award themselves, using it for publicity—

they had never considered that this sort of maneuver was possible.

Everyone was so stunned by Gu Chen’s idea that for a moment they even forgot to speak.

Even Ji Pianran sitting beside him had not expected her husband to be so bold in his actions.

Moreover, what was the difference between doing this and deceiving people?

After all, the people of this era were not like those before Gu Chen’s rebirth, who had become numb to being tricked by all sorts of advertisements.

In this era, people still had a lot of trust in authority and experts,

especially when it came to intimidating-sounding international organizations.

However, Gu Chen wanted to exploit precisely this psychology.

He was very clear that many laws were not yet perfect in this era.

To register such a so-called international organization that wasn’t official,

all it took was some money to get it done legally and without any accompanying responsibility,

because this was originally just an empty title, only that not many people had exploited it yet.

This whole scheme, in fact, was something he had learned from a boss he had worked for before being reborn.

The boss, before opening each new store, would fabricate various titles and custom-make a batch of trophies and certificates.

Then place them in the most conspicuous spot in the store, every time a new customer came by.

He would emphatically introduce to them the accomplishments his store had achieved.

Even to ensure the act was complete, he would create fake websites and encyclopedias online on his own.

All just to hoodwink the customers into believing in his store’s professionalism and strength.

Yet this set of decades-old tricks,

Even in the world before Gu Chen’s rebirth, would still achieve quite impressive results.

Not to mention in this era that had just entered the year 2000.

At this time, the vast majority of people still had to get their news from newspapers and television broadcasts.

Even the repercussions of the crime of speculating and profiteering were still imprinted in people’s memories.

No one would question the credibility of such awards, apart from themselves, and nobody else would know.

Of course, the reason Gu Chen did this was not entirely for the sake of deceptive marketing.

Mainly because the Gu Family had just had a scandal with fake goji berries and food poisoning half a month ago, stirring up public outcry.

Although he cured his father-in-law Ji Guangsheng, who then used his family’s influence and connections,

Reopened the factory that had been closed, and even paid the media to forget everything that had happened before.

But trust and reputation, once they collapse, become extremely difficult to salvage.

Now everyone was doubting the quality of the goods sold by the Gu Family, even their original business was affected.

Gu Chen wanted to get involved in the health medicine business in Chuan City through the Ji Family, and even compete with Xu Qingmu for the market.

He had to recover the Ji Family’s reputation and rebuild everyone’s confidence in their products as quickly and in the shortest time possible.

To achieve this, he needed to establish a larger authority to cover up the scandals that had happened before.

Originally, Gu Chen’s goal was to use the name of the Chuan University Pharmaceutical Research Institute for this purpose.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have tried to reach out to Dong Yuwei and insisted on having her star in a commercial for him.

There were plenty of beautiful women in the art school, but there was only one daughter of an internationally renowned professor of medicine.

Not to mention, she was going to be a future Nobel Prize winner in Medicine.

As long as he could get connected with her, it would be a foolproof deal for the Ji Family’s future.

However, due to a small mistake, Gu Chen felt that Dong Yuwei might not be willing to help him with the commercial anymore.

So he had to find another way, by establishing an institution to award himself.

The effect might not be as solid as having Dong Yuwei star in an advertisement for the Ji Family, but he thought it would not be far off.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen couldn’t help but feel grateful for the seclusion of the era and the slow speed of information dissemination.

Otherwise, if it were really like the world before his rebirth, his scheme might not have worked that well.

...

After returning to the Ji Family estate with his wife and daughter, Gu Chen did not spend much time for affection.

Instead, he immediately locked himself in the same villa as before for three days.

After three days, the new medicine "Qing Shen Xuelian Pill" he planned to use to deal a fatal blow to the Xu Family was also ready.

This lifted his spirits, yet he couldn’t help feeling apprehensive.

Latter, Gu Chen took the new medicine and the documentation with him and made another visit to the Chuan University Research Institute.

But this time, a fairly young-looking male researcher received him.

Knowing he was from the Ji Family of Chuan City, the man was very enthusiastic and polite.

Yet, without seeing Dong Yuwei there, Gu Chen casually inquired about her whereabouts.

And found out that since her return, she had taken an extended leave of absence from the Institute.

At this point, the male researcher seemed to remember something, then pulled out a document from a drawer and handed it to Gu Chen.

He only mentioned that his junior sister had organized the certification for the new drug trial before she left and asked him to pass it on to Gu Chen.
