Chapter 5

This time, the four interviewers shook their heads simultaneously, and some even showed a look of disdain.

No wonder this guy has such a good attitude; it turns out he's basically given up.

Cosmetic drugs? The market is indeed large, but for Huitian Pharmaceutical, it's a field they dare not easily touch.

As everyone knows, drugs are not like food; you can taste it and immediately tell if it's good or bad, with no room for deception.

But how can a drug, especially one for beauty, have an immediate effect?

If you give a pill to Sister Feng, will she suddenly turn into Lin Zhi-ling?

Be serious, will you? That's like a magic trick!

For cosmetic drugs, everyone knows that the effects are not immediately visible. Advertising mainly showcases the natural ingredients, the state-approved drug number, and emphasizes the high-end background of the development team, and so on.

As for whether the drug really has the advertised effects, who knows? Public opinion can be shaped by subsequent marketing.

Beauty itself is a vague concept. If I say my drug makes your skin whiter, you have to accept it.

How much whiter is white enough? You wouldn't want to turn into a pale vampire, would you?

You pay for psychological comfort, and I provide something that won't kill you. We both know what's going on.

As the leading domestic pharmaceutical company, Huitian Pharmaceutical cannot engage in such ambiguous practices to deceive the market. The money earned would damage the company's image, making it a loss.

The fact that he suggested a cosmetic direction shows that he has no understanding of the pharmaceutical market or the company's image, and can be eliminated.

The beautiful female interviewer gently shook her head but gave a warm smile.

"Mr. Haoxue, I'm sorry, but you do not meet our company's recruitment requirements. Thank you for coming to today's interview. I wish you success in finding a satisfactory job soon."

Haoxue understood immediately. They didn't even bother with the usual "We'll call you if we have news," rejecting him outright.

Fine, if you don't want me here, I'll find somewhere else. If no one wants me, I'll join the Eighth Route Army!

Haoxue stood up indifferently, smiled politely at the four interviewers, and left with a casual air.

Ha, this guy is quite interesting, but what he said was too unreliable. Otherwise, we might have considered him.

Watching Haoxue's swaying back, the only female interviewer felt a bit regretful.

"Minister Yao, you seem interested in this guy?"

The speaker was Liu Peng, the head of Huitian Pharmaceutical's R&D department, a staunch supporter of Western medicine. He had a particular disdain for traditional Chinese medicine, and upon hearing that the interviewee was a TCM major, he immediately dismissed him, sneering inwardly at the audacity of such a person to apply to Huitian Group!

"Yes, I found his attitude very stable, and he could be a good fit for our marketing department, but unfortunately..."

"Forget it, his expertise and vision are lacking. Hiring him would be a hassle!"

Liu Peng never missed an opportunity to criticize TCM. Moreover, he had some ulterior motives towards Marketing Minister Yao Mengying, though she never showed him any favor.

"Um."

Yao Mengying responded half-heartedly but felt that the guy she just rejected was quite different.

Haoxue, of course, couldn't hear this. As he walked out, he heard a mocking voice.

"So fast? Did they kick you out?"

Damn, did I touch something, and now you're waiting for me to take responsibility? You stayed after the interview just to mock me. What a drama queen!

Haoxue ignored her. Since he couldn't get into Huitian Pharmaceutical, he might as well go home and study the contact list.

"Of course, a big company like Huitian Pharmaceutical wouldn't hire a small thug like you. They have good judgment!"

Damn, you won't stop even when I ignore you!

Haoxue glared at her. If it weren't for your... assets, I would...

He couldn't really do anything, so he huffed and decided to avoid her.

"Move, move!"

Just as he was about to take a detour, he heard a commotion behind him. Four people rushed out of the glass door and headed straight for him.

Hmm?

Haoxue focused and saw the four interviewers, all looking anxious.

Could they be regretting missing out on a talent like me?

Just as this thought crossed his mind, he was pushed aside. The four didn't even glance at him, rushing to the stairs, leaping down the steps, completely losing their composure from the interview.

What... is going on?

The other interviewees were also confused. It looked like something big had happened!

People are naturally drawn to drama, and a big company like Huitian Pharmaceutical rarely provides such entertainment. Soon, some of the interviewees followed the interviewers, and no one stopped them.

Ah, young people these days, so impatient!

What's the point of this spectacle?

It's better to focus on professional knowledge and self-improvement to achieve better development and contribute more to society...

Haoxue shook his head in disappointment and joined the crowd at the scene.

In situations like this, it's more meaningful to observe and gain experience in handling emergencies!

Wow, there are a lot of people here. What's going on?

"President Xiong, I'm a reporter from the Beijing Evening News. I just received a message from a colleague that the manufacturer of the Eternal Youth Pill, Rising Sun Group, announced half an hour ago that there were significant safety issues with the pill, and it cannot be sold. Is the Eternal Youth Pill released by Huitian Pharmaceutical produced by Rising Sun Group?"

A reporter with a microphone, speaking aggressively, stared at a radiant woman on the stage.

The woman, who looked like a young housewife, had exquisite features and skin like jade. Even a young girl in her early twenties might not match her beauty. She stood on the stage, facing the media, exuding an elegant and dignified aura, remaining composed despite the pressure.

Some reporters were aggressively questioning her, while others, holding microphones, couldn't take their eyes off her beauty, from her prominent chest to her full hips and long legs...

What's happening?

Haoxue quickly understood from the surrounding conversations.

Today, in the largest press conference room of Huitian Tower, Huitian Pharmaceutical was holding a press conference for a new drug they had been planning for half a year.

The new drug, called the Eternal Youth Pill, was not developed by Huitian Pharmaceutical but introduced from a third party, leveraging Huitian's reputation and marketing power to enter the domestic health supplement market.

However, halfway through the conference, the safety issues of the Eternal Youth Pill were exposed, and several reporters immediately attacked, questioning Huitian Pharmaceutical's credibility and responsibility, leaving no room for defense.

Xiong Huijuan's beautiful face was stern. As the president of Huitian Pharmaceutical, she had years of experience in business and knew exactly what was happening.

There's a conspiracy!

The safety issues with the Eternal Youth Pill today were not a coincidence but a well-planned plot against Huitian Pharmaceutical!

Now, with industry peers, numerous media, and even a deputy director of the drug administration present, if the release of the Eternal Youth Pill turned into a farce, and Huitian Pharmaceutical's new drug, which they had promoted for months, was forced to halt due to safety concerns, the damage to Huitian Pharmaceutical would be far more than just the loss of one product.

Winning the hearts of the people is crucial, not just in politics but also in business.

Today's fiasco would severely damage Huitian Pharmaceutical's credibility, potentially threatening its survival!

"Thug, you were rejected from the interview, and now you're here to cause trouble? You really don't know your place!"

Just as Haoxue was figuring out the situation, the annoying voice sounded again. He turned around and saw the big-breasted girl's disdainful face.

She's really persistent!

Haoxue raised his voice irritably, "What did I do to you? Where did I thug you?"

As he spoke, his eyes swept over her large chest, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

Although the scene was chaotic, Haoxue's words caused a small commotion.

A thug in Huitian Pharmaceutical? That's rare, let's see!

As a result, Haoxue, who was unremarkable, was quickly ignored, and most eyes were on the big-breasted girl, specifically on... well, you know.

The big-breasted girl, now the focus of attention, couldn't resist her prominent E-cup, feeling both embarrassed and angry. She glared at Haoxue and blamed him for the situation.

"Huitian Pharmaceutical will never hire a thug like you!"

The big-breasted girl didn't dare to speak loudly but muttered as if cursing.

Haoxue looked at the chaos at the press conference, the beautiful woman on stage struggling with the reporters, and touched the royal jelly in his pocket. A bold idea came to mind.

"Hey, Miss Cow, want to make a bet? If Huitian Pharmaceutical hires me..."

"Impossible!"

The big-breasted girl blurted out, then realized and angrily said, "Who's a cow?"

"You, a thug and a hooligan, want to join Huitian Pharmaceutical? I bet you can't. If you do, you can do whatever you want!"

Oh?

Haoxue smiled mischievously, "If I get in, I can do whatever I want, hehe!"

He emphasized the word "in" and laughed even more lewdly.

The big-breasted girl was taken aback, not understanding at first. Then, combining the emphasis, she realized he was twisting her words to mean "get in" in a different sense! Her face turned red with anger, and her already impressive chest heaved, creating a beautiful scene.

Meanwhile, Xiong Huijuan, surrounded by reporters, was almost at her wit's end.

After the reporter's pointed question, time seemed to drag on, like a death knell for Xiong Huijuan.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

She couldn't delay any longer. She had to act decisively!

"Everyone, I'm sorry..."

Xiong Huijuan sighed. Huitian Pharmaceutical was in for a fall today.

The only option was to acknowledge the safety issues of the Eternal Youth Pill and announce that the company would be more cautious in the future, avoiding unfamiliar fields, hoping to gain the media's and the public's understanding. Arguing would only make things worse.

"I'm sorry, but the product Huitian Pharmaceutical is truly releasing today is not the Eternal Youth Pill, but Snowy Skin Lotion!"

Xiong Huijuan was interrupted by a young man who rushed out of the crowd, smiling as he stood next to President Xiong, facing the flashing cameras, and spoke confidently.
