The Beautiful CEO's Personal Mad Doctor

Chapter 314: Chapter 314: Shills! You’re All Shills

Just moments ago, the reporters had been furiously denouncing Tao Chunhong. They thought her bootlicking was utterly shameless, a disgrace to their entire profession!

They were convinced Tao Chunhong had taken a bribe.

But now, seeing the transformation she had undergone, not a single person believed she had been bribed.

A product this incredible, this miraculous... would it even need to resort to bribery?

’Barring any surprises, the orders for Lingxi Health Beverage are going to be astronomical, aren’t they?’

The reporters scrambled to their feet, each one trying to be first!

”President Lin, as a qualified journalist, I feel it’s my duty to personally experience Yuanxi Pharmaceutical’s new product!”

”President Lin, you can’t report on what you haven’t experienced! I’m willing to be a guinea pig for the new product!”

”President Lin, I swear I’ll give a completely truthful report on Yuanxi Pharmaceutical’s new product! Please let me try the Lingxi Health Beverage for myself!”

...

In an instant, the reporters were practically at each other’s throats.

Everyone knew that a sample used at a press conference like this had to be several times more potent than the official retail version. The Medicinal Power in this single bottle must be off the charts!

’If I can take this chance to fix one of my chronic issues, that would be fantastic!’

As journalists, they were always pulling all-nighters to meet deadlines. Was there a single one of them who didn’t suffer from some chronic ailment?

But hospitals couldn’t cure chronic diseases; they could only tell you to manage your lifestyle.

Lin Ruoxi never expected the Lingxi beverage to cause such a sensation. The press conference had practically turned into a celebrity fan meet-and-greet!

’These reporters are insane!’

Lin Ruoxi had no idea who to choose, so she could only turn to Cheng Yuan with a look that pleaded for help.

Cheng Yuan activated his Double Pupil again and scanned the frenzied crowd of reporters.

With a single glance, he understood why they were acting so desperately.

Most of them were suffering from various chronic conditions.

Cheng Yuan selected a few whose symptoms were the most severe.

”You, you, you, and you. That’s everyone,” he said. ”One bottle makes five cups at most, and now there are four left.”

The reporters Cheng Yuan had pointed to trembled with excitement, bowing to him repeatedly.

”Thank you, sir, for giving us this opportunity!”

Filled with immense excitement, the reporters picked up their paper cups, tilted their heads back, and downed the contents in a single gulp.

Then, expressions of pure bliss spread across their faces.

One of them, a reporter named Zou Jixian, suffered from a severe vitality drain due to a sedentary lifestyle and constant all-nighters. No matter what his wife tried, things in the bedroom just weren’t working.

The moment he drank the Lingxi beverage, Zou Jixian felt a surge of warmth emanating from his lower abdomen.

Zou Jixian could feel a distinct change taking place!

His face flushed with excitement, Zou Jixian completely forgot that he was at a press conference, that he was surrounded by fellow journalists and major figures from the pharmaceutical industry.

Zou Jixian whipped out his phone and, trembling with excitement, called his wife.

”Honey! I’ve got great news! It’s working! It’s really working!!!”

Hearing this, every man in the room suddenly perked up.

Once you hit middle age, most men find themselves brewing goji berry tea, feeling that the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.

’If what Reporter Zou says is true,’ they thought, ’then this Lingxi Health Beverage is beyond incredible, isn’t it?’

”Old Zou, you’re not a plant, are you? Does it really work?”

Zou Jixian puffed out his chest and stood ramrod straight. ”Does it work? Why don’t you see for yourself?”

Everyone instinctively glanced down, and their eyes went wide.

HOLY SHIT!

The effect was a little *too* obvious.

”President Lin, we at Sanming Pharmaceutical want to be a distributor for Yuanxi Pharmaceutical! We want to carry your new product, the Lingxi Health Beverage! Profit sharing, pricing—we’ll agree to whatever terms Yuanxi Pharmaceutical sets!”

”President Lin, we at Muran Pharmaceutical also want to be a distributor!”

”Old Zhou, Old Jiang, don’t even think about hogging this for yourselves! Lingfei Pharmaceutical wants in as a distributor too!”

”What are you pharma companies fighting over? This is a job for supermarket chains! President Lin, hello, I’m Zhang Jie, manager of the beverage department at Liqun Department Store. Here’s my card.”

”President Lin, I’m from Walmart Supermarket...”

...

The scene instantly erupted into a lively commotion. The press conference had turned into a convention for distributors.

Every pharmaceutical company and supermarket chain wanted a piece of the pie.

The shareholders and senior executives of Yuanxi Pharmaceutical were grinning from ear to ear.

At this rate, they could all just lie back and count their money.

Yuanxi Pharmaceutical’s stock price was going to at least double! It might even multiply several times over!

To be honest, when Lin Ruoxi had first taken over Bauhinia Pharmaceutical, they hadn’t had much confidence in her. She was just too young, after all.

But now, they felt incredibly lucky that she was the one who had taken the reins.

If she had taken over the Lin Family’s Huanya Pharmaceutical instead, their Bauhinia Pharmaceutical would have been crushed into dust.

The press conference was an explosive success.

Lin Xingchen was about to go mad with rage.

’This is impossible!’

’It’s completely impossible!’

’How could Ruoxi develop a whole new product in such a short amount of time?’

’Did she suspect Zhou Hancheng all along?’

’No, that’s impossible!’

’Ruoxi had only been in charge of Yuanxi Pharmaceutical for less than a week!’

’How could anyone develop a new product in one week?’

’Plants! These people are all plants!’

Lin Xingchen couldn’t take it anymore. He shot up from his seat in the most hidden corner at the very back and used every ounce of his strength to shove his way to the front.

Lin Xingchen snatched a microphone and roared, ”Plants! You people are all plants! This is unfair competition, Yuanxi Pharmaceutical! You’re misleading consumers! How can a mere health beverage possibly have medicinal properties?”

Lin Xingchen was the general manager of Huanya Pharmaceutical. The reporters didn’t dare get on his bad side, nor did the executives from the other pharmaceutical companies and supermarket chains. The entire room fell silent, and all eyes turned to Lin Ruoxi, wondering how she would handle this.

Lin Ruoxi was speechless. This uncle of hers was the one engaged in unfair competition, and yet he had the audacity to stand here and turn the tables with false accusations?

’The nerve of him!’

Still, Lin Ruoxi wasn’t flustered in the slightest.

”President Lin,” she said calmly, ”the easiest way to see if these people are plants is to try our Lingxi Health Beverage for yourself.”

At a nod from Lin Ruoxi, a staff member opened another bottle of Lingxi Health Beverage, poured a cup, and handed it to Lin Xingchen.

Lin Xingchen took the paper cup and drained it in one go.

BOOM!

An astonishing wave of heat surged from his lower abdomen. Lin Xingchen felt as if he had shed more than ten years in an instant; his body was brimming with power!

Lin Xingchen was stunned.

’This stuff really has Medicinal Power!’

’No wonder those people were fawning over it!’

But, as the opposition, how could he possibly admit that his rival’s product was any good?

Suppressing his conscience, Lin Xingchen said, ”What is this bullshit health beverage? It has no effect at all! It’s no different from any other health drink on the market!”

The words had barely left his mouth when Tao Chunhong, who was standing nearby, suddenly gasped. ”Everyone, look at President Lin’s arm!”

SWISH!

Every head in the room swiveled toward Lin Xingchen. The photographers with the quickest reflexes immediately zoomed their lenses in on his arm.

Before everyone’s eyes, the two rows of crescent-shaped scars on Lin Xingchen’s arm—each at least two centimeters long—began to fade at a rate visible to the naked eye.

In less than ten seconds, the crescent-shaped scars had vanished completely.

It was as if they had never been there at all.
