Chapter 69

At three in the afternoon, in the multi-functional meeting room of Baihua Pharmaceutical, the atmosphere was heavy.

Fifteen core members sat on the chairs, discussing heatedly, their expressions tinged with pessimism.

The secret formula that sustained their survival had been leaked, meaning the company was at a critical juncture of life and death. Yet, after a long discussion, no one had come up with a good solution.

Shen Yan crossed her arms and leaned back in her swivel chair, her gaze sweeping over everyone. Then, in a cold tone, she said, "Are you all mute?

Is there anyone who can come up with a solution?"

"Anyone who can resolve this crisis will be rewarded with ten million. If not, everyone should prepare to pack up and leave."

Although the company was a casual venture, Shen Yan did not want to hand it over with the shadow of failure. She would never let Chen Liyang get the upper hand.

Everyone in the meeting room felt a chill, wanting to stand up but none daring to speak.

Shen Yan's gaze swept over the dozen or so core members, then turned to the company's product consultant, a national treasure and a veteran in the field of herbal medicine, Yao Shenghan.

Yao Shenghan was one of the Three Kings of Zhonghai, on par with Sun Shengshou and Gongsun Yuan, skilled in using herbal medicine to treat diseases and often employing toxins to counteract toxins, earning him the title of "Medicine King."

Given his status, he could live a life of luxury by treating a few high-ranking officials each year. His role as a consultant for Baihua Pharmaceutical was entirely due to the Qian family's favor.

Thus, his position in Baihua Pharmaceutical was extremely exalted.

Shen Yan asked respectfully, "Elder Yao, do you have any ideas?"

"President Shen, there's really no way out now. Either Bawang Pharmaceutical revokes the secret formula, or we find an alternative."

Yao Shenghan rarely attended company meetings, only occasionally reviewing the composition and effects of formulas. However, this time, it was a matter of life and death, and he could not stand idly by.

After all, he received a significant share of the company's profits each year.

"But neither of these paths is feasible. Let's not even talk about Bawang."

"I have consulted colleagues both domestically and abroad, offering my connections and a billion yuan to purchase a beauty formula, but none of them surpass our original product."

"I have also searched through ancient texts, but found nothing suitable."

Yao Shenghan's face showed a hint of regret, "We can only prepare for the worst, stop production, clear out our inventory, accumulate funds, and make a comeback."

The others nodded in agreement.

"If we don't stop the losses in time, once Bawang starts mass production, the more products we have, the greater our losses will be."

"Bawang Pharmaceutical has saved on our R&D costs, so they can set very low prices. In terms of equal effectiveness, we can't compete on price."

Yao Shenghan looked at Shen Yan with sharp eyes, "President Shen, let's avoid their sharp edge for now."

"Rest assured, I am developing a scar-removal medicine. It will take no more than three months to finalize all the data."

"Its effectiveness is 20% higher than any product on the market. When I hand over the formula to Baihua Pharmaceutical, you can make a stunning comeback."

This was also his way of repaying the Qian family's favor.

The core members' eyes lit up at his words, giving them hope for the future.

Shen Yan felt a bit more relaxed, thinking this might be the best solution. But the thought of Chen Liyang's smug face made her feel a bit reluctant.

The bastard who had pursued her for three years in college and pushed her into the winter river, causing her to lose her ability to bear children, was someone Shen Yan never wanted to see smile.

Should she directly seek help from Han Nanhua, asking him to team up to suppress Chen Liyang?

But involving Han Nanhua in such a trivial matter might make him look down on her.

As for using the connections of Old Qian, Shen Yan dismissed the idea. Before she conceived, she and Qian Shenghuo dared not disturb him.

Otherwise, they would be scolded to death.

Must she really give up?

Shen Yan picked up her tea and took a sip, then wiped her mouth with a tissue.

"Don't move—"

At that moment, Yao Shenghan shouted, "Don't move."

He pushed his chair aside and rushed to Shen Yan, having glimpsed a few lines of the formula, which seemed to have genuine beauty effects.

Ignoring everyone's reactions, Yao Shenghan's hands trembled as he took the tissue from Shen Yan and slowly unfolded it to examine it.

Shen Yan was taken aback, realizing she had absentmindedly used the tissue with the formula given by Ye Fei to wipe her mouth.

She quickly said, "Elder Yao, I'm sorry..." "Don't speak."

Yao Shenghan stopped Shen Yan from speaking, his eyes widening as he scrutinized each word, becoming more and more excited.

By the end, his hands were trembling, and he shouted, "This is the Shuhua formula, this is the Shuhua formula."

"Good heavens, good heavens, I never thought I would see the formula used by Yang Guifei in my lifetime."

"I can die without regrets, I can die without regrets..." Yao Shenghan jumped and almost fainted, shocking everyone.

"President Shen, where did you get this formula?"

"I want to meet the person behind this formula. They are truly amazing, having the complete Shuhua formula."

"You know, even the most complete ancient texts only record one-tenth of the Shuhua formula."

"President Shen, tell me who this person is, and I will kneel to you, and work for you for free for three years..."

Hearing these words, the fifteen core members' heads buzzed.

Then, they were completely stunned! No one had expected that the tissue Shen Yan used to wipe her mouth contained the invaluable Shuhua formula.

As research core members, they naturally knew the value of the Shuhua formula.

The four great beauties of ancient times were not only naturally beautiful but also used secret formulas to maintain their beauty.

Any beauty formula used by a great beauty could cause a storm in the modern world.

And Yang Guifei's formula was now in Shen Yan's hands.

From a dead end to a bright future, who would believe such a turn of events?

Shen Yan was also stunned, looking at the formula in Yao Shenghan's hands, finding it hard to believe, "Elder Yao, is this really a beauty formula?

Specifically for Yang Guifei?"

Yao Shenghan was taken aback, "President Shen doesn't know?"

"This was written by my brother, saying it's a beauty formula that can make one look ten years younger."

Shen Yan's face was very awkward, feeling apologetic towards Ye Fei, "I thought he was just playing around, but it turns out it's the Shuhua formula."

She still asked skeptically, "Is it really effective?"

"Ignorance!"

Yao Shenghan scolded Shen Yan without hesitation, "I guarantee with my life and reputation that this Shuhua formula outperforms all beauty products on the market."

"Its effectiveness is ten times that of our original product."

"Whether it's Bawang, Anmei, or Difou, they will all be eliminated."

"Within a year, Baihua Pharmaceutical will dominate the entire beauty market."

"A 300 billion market, we can take as much as we want."

Hearing this, the entire room was in an uproar, followed by a chorus of exclamations. Shen Yan's eyes also sparkled.

"However..." Yao Shenghan's tone changed, "The formula has been partially damaged by President Shen, and one ingredient is completely missing..." The dozen or so people immediately cast disapproving glances at Shen Yan, the beautiful president.

"I'll call Fei brother..." Shen Yan's cheeks flushed as she lowered her head.
