Attracting Investment

That very night, Qin Mo refined a sample of the Rejuvenation Pill.

Baolintang happens to have all the medicinal herbs he needs.

But the most important thing about elixirs is not only the medicinal materials, but also the refining method.

Cui Pu followed Qin Mo with great interest, helping him while taking notes in his notebook.

I stayed up until the early hours of the morning without ever complaining of being tired.

The first pill was not produced until the sky began to lighten.

At the same time, Qin Mo also received a reply from Zhuang Xue'e: "No problem! I'll pick you up later, let's take a look at the finished product first."

He contacted Zhuang Xue'e last night.

He had heard before that the dealer was in the pharmaceutical industry and owned dozens of pharmaceutical factories and hospitals.

It can be said that they are on par with the Qian family.

Old Master Zhuang brought Zhuang Xue'e to Xichuan this time for two reasons: first, to arrange Qin Mo and Zhuang Xue'e's marriage, and second, to open a branch company in Xichuan.

The person in charge of the branch office was Zhuang Xue'e.

This branch office was originally intended for Zhuang Xue'e to practice on.

We had been recruiting investors and were preparing to select promising local pharmaceutical companies for investment.

Lin Wanqing had always wanted to seize this opportunity.

The laboratory under her management was one that Qin Mo had painstakingly found by pulling strings and running around everywhere.

But now, that opportunity is no longer available to her.

At eight o'clock, Zhuang Xue'e's sports car stopped right in front of Baolin Hall.

Qin Mo got into the passenger seat, somewhat surprised: "Why did you come alone? Where's the driver?"

Zhuang Xue'e blinked: "Am I the kind of person who cares about making a scene wherever I go? What, you don't trust my driving skills?"

"No, whatever makes you happy." Qin Mo shook his head helplessly.

This young lady is far too quirky and unpredictable.

"Speaking of which, why did you suddenly decide to make medicine?"

On the way to the company, Zhuang Xue'e asked curiously, "Your medical skills are quite good, but pharmaceutical manufacturing is research work, which doesn't seem to have anything to do with your main profession, does it?"

There are indeed differences between pharmacology and medical theory.

A good doctor doesn't necessarily mean he can develop good medicine.

Although Zhuang Xue'e had long recognized Qin Mo's medical skills, she still had some doubts about his research abilities.

"What, don't you trust me?" Qin Mo glanced at her.

These words suddenly reminded Zhuang Xue'e of the previous times.

Every time, she expressed doubts about Qin Mo, but every time, Qin Mo proved her doubts wrong with his abilities.

"No, that's not it. If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have come today," Zhuang Xue'e quickly explained, afraid of embarrassing herself again.

"You might not know this, but I'm the youngest in my family. I have three older brothers."

"I've been obsessed with martial arts since I was a child, and I have no interest in inheriting the family business, but I don't want to be treated as a good-for-nothing."

"This branch office was supposedly set up by my family for me to practice with, but I know they're prepared to lose money."

"The more they act like this, the more I want to prove them wrong!"

Zhuang Xue'e was unusually serious and said something heartfelt.

But after saying that, she became somewhat dejected: "But now, everything at the branch office, from management to the laboratory, has been arranged for me by my family."

"I didn't interfere with any of the arrangements, and I couldn't arrange anything..."

She changed the subject, her eyes bright as she looked at Qin Mo: "However, since I found you, if your prescription really works, then it will be the first project I've ever invested in!"

"Old Qin, you have to prove me right!"

Hearing that she had even changed how she addressed him, Qin Mo felt a little helpless.

"Don't worry, if my stuff wasn't good, I wouldn't have come to you."

"Hehe, I definitely believe you!" Zhuang Xue'e blinked, a hint of slyness in her beautiful almond-shaped eyes. "I always feel that as long as I follow you, there will definitely be many surprises!"

Zhuang Xue'e naturally trusted Qin Mo, but when it came to company matters, her word alone didn't count.

Whether the drug can be put into production still needs to be discussed with the management.

Furthermore, whether Qin Mo's Rejuvenation Pill is truly that good needs to be verified by the laboratory.

Even if she trusted Qin Mo completely, she wouldn't dare joke about something like this.

Even if she were willing, the company's management would not agree.

Therefore, Zhuang Xue'e planned to take her to the company's laboratory first to conduct professional testing on his Rejuvenation Pill.

Production can only officially begin once management approves it.

When they arrived, several people were already sitting in the office on the second floor of the laboratory.

Through the one-way glass, you can see the entire laboratory below from this office.

Zhuang Huaisheng sat on the sofa, and the old butler beside him handed him a cup of ginseng tea. He took a sip and then looked at the young man opposite him.

"Shao Chong, you didn't come all this way just to keep this old man company with tea, did you?"

Huo Shaochong sat on the sofa, with several researchers in white coats standing behind him.

He smiled, revealing a set of white teeth, and said solicitously:

"Grandpa Zhuang, what are you saying? Our two families have been friends for generations, and you watched me grow up. Do I need a reason to come see you?"

Zhuang Huaisheng smiled and tapped him: "You little rascal, you've got a really sweet tongue."

"I may be old, but I'm not blind yet. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."

"You're here to see Xue'e, aren't you?"

After being exposed, Huo Shaochong showed no embarrassment whatsoever; instead, he smiled calmly.

"Old Zhuang is indeed insightful; nothing can be hidden from you."

Zhuang Huaisheng waved his hand: "Don't flatter me, it's useless."

"I know what you're thinking, but over the years, you've also realized that Xue'e really doesn't have those feelings for you."

"Besides, you should have heard that I came to Xichuan this time for Xue'e's wedding."

Huo Shaochong and Zhuang Xue'e were childhood sweethearts, and Zhuang Huaisheng really wanted to bring them together if they were interested.

After all, her benefactor had said that if Zhuang Xue'e had someone she liked, she wouldn't force her.

However, over the years, Zhuang Xue'e has not only had no romantic feelings for Huo Shaochong, but also dislikes him very much.

This reassured Zhuang Huaisheng that he could fulfill his promise.

Huo Shaochong's smile faded slightly:

"Grandpa Zhuang, I know that feelings can't be forced, but Xue'e has never even met that person. Are you sure she'll be happy if she marries him?"

"What if that person is some utterly wicked individual?"

Zhuang Huaisheng smiled and shook his head: "Impossible."

"Shao Chong, I can say this to you because I watched you grow up."

"If Xue'e can really marry that person, not only her, but even my Zhuang family will probably rise to great heights in the future..."

Huo Shaochong was somewhat surprised.

He knew that Master Zhuang was not the type to make empty boasts.

For someone to say something like that, that person must be someone of extraordinary status.

He clenched his fists, unwilling and resentful.

At least, he won't give up until he sees that person.

At that moment, the branch office's deputy manager knocked on the door and came in.

"Master Zhuang, the people brought by the Fourth Miss have arrived."
