Chapter 888: Then You Can Keep Thinking About It

Two days later.

Today is the day of Xu Corporation’s new drug launch conference.

The venue is at Xu Corporation’s headquarters.

All in attendance are medical experts and media from various countries, filling the place to capacity.

Xu Shaochen sits quietly in the crowd, dressed in a suit and tie.

Today isn’t his turn to be in the spotlight. He just needs to sit quietly below.

“Ladies and gentlemen, first, I would like to thank all of you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend Xu Corporation’s new drug launch. On behalf of all employees at Xu Corporation, I extend my gratitude.”

Jenny stands onstage, microphone in hand, speaking in a calm tone.

Today, she is dressed in a white business suit that contrasts with her golden hair.

The white fitted jacket forms an elegant curve, with the short skirt resting just above her knees. Her long legs, wrapped in sheer tights, stir emotions in many.

However, paired with her strong aura, no one dares to have any indecent thoughts.

Besides, everyone present is here for the new drug.

To them, the product is far more appealing than any beauty.

“Hello, everyone. I’m the head of the new drug research team. This new drug is named ‘Qingnao Capsules,’ as the name implies, it’s intended to treat brain cancer. Based on our clinical trials…”

Once Jenny finishes speaking, the head of the research team takes the stage to introduce all the details about the new drug, which is what everyone cares about.

Meanwhile, a massive amount of drugs labeled ‘Qingnao Capsules’ produced by the Johnson Family’s pharmaceutical factory are being shipped out through pre-established channels.

The packaging and name are quite similar to Xu Corporation’s, except they lack Xu Corporation’s anti-counterfeit mark.

With a closer look, one can tell that it isn’t a Xu Corporation product.

The Johnson Family’s drugs are priced at half of what the corporation charges.

At the same time, rumors about a leak of Xu Corporation’s drug formula start circulating online.

This, of course, is the Johnson Family’s promotional tactic. Otherwise, how could people trust their drug?

As this incident becomes more intense, the moment people see the Johnson Family’s drug, they’ll immediately think of the rumor about Xu Corporation’s formula leak.

They’ll assume the Johnson drug is made from the leaked formula. And given the lower price, everyone will rush to buy it before it gets pulled from the shelves.

By then, the Johnson Family will make a fortune. Then, they’ll release the formula publicly.

The new drug launch by Xu Corporation had just ended, but Jenny was still surrounded by reporters.

“President Jenny, what’s your opinion on the rumors of Xu Corporation’s drug formula being leaked online?”

“Miss Jenny, please answer our question directly. We just want to clear any doubts.”

“President Jenny…”

“Sorry, no comment.”

Jenny coldly uttered a few words, neither confirming nor denying, leaving even more room for speculation.

If they admitted it, and then people who bought the Johnson Family’s drugs ended up hospitalized, Xu Corporation would suffer from public backlash.

Others might also doubt Xu Corporation’s new drug, assuming they were made from the same formula.

But as long as they don’t acknowledge it directly, any potential issues wouldn’t be associated with Xu Corporation, avoiding much trouble.

“Sorry, the interview ends here. Our president has work to attend to. Please, everyone, leave for now.”

The secretary, accompanied by bodyguards, blocked the reporters, carving out a path for Jenny.

“President Jenny…”

“Miss Jenny…”

The reporters persisted, but with the bodyguards in their way, there was nothing they could do.

…………

When Jenny returned to the office, she found Xu Shaochen already waiting for her.

“Those reporters were a headache. You sure had it easy, leaving all the troubles to me.”

After entering the office, Jenny took off her jacket, now only wearing a white blouse with subtle patterns.

“I gave you all the opportunities to shine. I’m supporting you from behind the scenes. You have to understand my good intentions.”

Xu Shaochen put down the magazine in his hands, stood up, and walked over to her. He placed his hands gently on her shoulders, massaging her.

“With my unclear response earlier, the sales of the fake drugs from the Johnson Family will undoubtedly explode.”

Jenny closed her eyes, enjoying the massage, her tone calm.

“The more people who buy their fake drugs, the more who’ll end up with severe diarrhea. And the worse they’ll suffer.”

“Then we can come out and clarify everything, saying that any drug without Xu Corporation’s anti-counterfeit mark is a fake. That’ll boost our reputation.”

Xu Shaochen smiled. It was a perfect plan, a win-win.

Severe diarrhea won’t kill anyone, but having this kind of reaction to medicine? Now that’s a catastrophe.

After all, drug safety and food safety are areas of extreme concern in every country.

It’s almost guaranteed that the Johnson Family will end up on every country’s drug regulatory blacklist. It would be a dream for them to sell anything then.

And whether they can even survive this ordeal is still questionable.

“But our drug’s sales will definitely be impacted in the short term.”

Jenny said, casually slapping away Xu Shaochen’s hand, which had begun to undo her blouse buttons, giving him a stern glare.

“Old habits, sorry about that.”

Xu Shaochen chuckled awkwardly, then cleared his throat and said seriously, “No problem, the more we suppress now, the stronger our rebound will be. We just need to stock up.”

“Want to touch?” Jenny teased, giving Xu Shaochen a sultry look.

Xu Shaochen froze, pursing his lips, “Yes.”

He was an honest man, always speaking the truth, especially in front of women.

“Then keep thinking about it.”

Jenny said lightly.

Xu Shaochen: “…”

Damn it, this woman played him again.

“Here, this is the info you asked for. It’s like something out of a story.”

Jenny took an envelope from the cabinet and tossed it to Xu Shaochen.

Xu Shaochen opened the envelope, finding information about Zheng Bei during his time abroad.

Apparently, Zheng Bei went to Mexico (censored) and got caught in a shootout between drug lords and police officers the moment he left the airport. He spent his time dodging them.

Unexpectedly, with his pretty-boy looks, he caught the eye of a drug lord’s daughter and ended up becoming a son-in-law by force.

But Zheng Bei was a smart man. He had no intention of staying in Mexico forever, so he never touched anything related to drugs.

Instead, he used the drug lord’s money to run legitimate businesses, under the guise of ‘helping them launder money.’ Now, he’s in a rather high position within the drug lord’s organization.
