I have a debt of 3 trillion, and my creditors are begging me not to die.

Chapter 46 Shooting yourself in the foot

"Please ask Mr. Chang to introduce us to Chairman Yang. Thank you for your help." Li Rende said very politely.

Chang Sheng replied: "I'll call Director Yang to ask if he's free."

"Okay, okay, thank you for your help." Li Rende said with a smile.

Chang Sheng called Yang Chen, reported the situation here to him in detail, and asked him whether he wanted to meet with these academicians.

Yang Chen smiled and said: "They are here for the so-called "X component", right? You can ask the research team to operate it for them to see. I am writing the script, so I will not see them."

"Ah? A group of academicians. Others can't even meet them if they want to. You really don't want to meet them?" Chang Sheng said in surprise.

What Chang Sheng said was absolutely correct. It was not easy for people who were not of high status to meet an academician of Li Rende's level.

Now a group of academicians came to ask for a meeting, but Yang Chen actually didn't want to see them.

"I have written a key plot in the script, and I don't have time to meet them now. They just want to know what the X component is, so I will show them the operation. By the way, they can't just watch it for nothing. After watching it, let them make a video to explain what the X component is and whether it will damage the heart and nerves." Yang Chen said.

Chang Sheng replied: "Okay, I know what to do."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Chen continued to write the script.

Around four o'clock, police from all over the country began to take action.

The River City Riverside Branch issued an announcement.

"TikTok blogger "Fashionable Hot Mom", whose real name is Wang Moujun, received 3 yuan from South Korea's GRM company and posted a video that spread rumors and slandered that the "X ingredient" in Sihai Slimming Pills would damage the heart and nerves. Wang Moujun confessed to his illegal behavior and has now been administratively detained. The case is pending further investigation."

The Haicheng HP District Branch also issued an announcement subsequently.

"Weibo user "Fashion Tips", whose real name is Li Moujuan, received 2 yuan from South Korea's GRM company and published an article titled "Mysterious ingredients in Sihai slimming pills damage the heart and nerves." Li Moujuan admitted that she had no evidence to prove the content of the article and was just posting on Weibo for money. Li Moujuan has been administratively detained and is awaiting further investigation to determine whether she will be held criminally responsible."

……

The announcements from the police in various places quickly topped the hot search lists of major platforms, and South Korea’s GRM was also on the hot search list. Angry netizens left attacking messages in the comment sections of GRM’s Weibo, TikTok and other accounts, scaring the GRM account administrator to quickly close the comment permissions of all accounts on all platforms.

GRM Longguo District President Li Enhui panicked and quickly called Group President Park Zhengguo.

"Hello, President, something big has happened. We don't know what's going on. The entire Longguo police are helping the Sihai Group. All the bloggers we found have been arrested. This method has worked every time before. I don't know why it turned out like this this time." Li Enhui said hurriedly.

Park Zhengguo immediately said, "What's the point of calling me? Hurry up and find a way to remedy the situation! Go talk to the chairman of Sihai Group. As long as you convince them not to pursue the matter, this matter can be resolved. I don't care what method you use, you must convince him not to pursue the matter. Do you understand?"

"Okay... President, I understand..." Li Enhui said helplessly.

This solution was clearly proposed by Park Jung-guk himself, but now that there is a problem, he is asking Lee Eun-hye to solve it. This is really unreasonable.

Li Enhui was thinking about countermeasures when her assistant rushed in.

"Mr. Li, this is bad. The Douyin account of Sihai Health released a video in which twelve academicians from the Longke Academy explained what ingredient X is and proved that this ingredient only promotes super metabolism and has no effect on the heart and nerves. This is over, we may be sued." The assistant reported.

Li Enhui quickly opened Sihai Health’s Douyin and clicked on the pinned video to watch.

In the video, Li Rende and other academicians were very excited to share their personal experience of witnessing Sihai Health researchers using onions, corn, garlic, apples, sweet potatoes, milk, and vitamins, through a series of complex chemical reactions, to finally synthesize "polymerized onion" with super metabolic capacity. "Polymeric onion" has the effects of enhancing metabolism, lowering blood lipids and cholesterol, which is why Sihai Slimming Pills can effectively lose weight and treat mild fatty liver and other diseases.

Less than ten minutes after the video was posted, the number of comments exceeded ten thousand.

"I feel relieved when so many academicians come forward to testify. Fortunately, they did not agree to return the product, otherwise I might not be able to get it."

"GRM is so disgusting. They resorted to such means when they couldn't compete. I was really scared today. From now on, no one should buy any products from this brand. Let them get out of Dragon Country as soon as possible."

"Please Sihai Group, do not let them go. We must take this opportunity to drive GRM out of Longguo. Also, please put more weight loss pills on the shelves. I want to buy some more for my parents."

……

Seeing the comments section full of people asking Sihai Group to drive GRM out of Longguo, Li Enhui was extremely panicked.

After thinking for a moment, Li Enhui immediately asked her assistant to book a flight to Jiangcheng for tomorrow morning.

With the 12 academicians speaking out in person, the media felt confident and bold in reporting the story.

Health Times: Sihai slimming pills set off a weight loss wave. According to user feedback, the slimming pills are really as advertised. They can not only lose weight, but also treat mild fatty liver, gastroenteritis, and dredge blood vessels. The "X ingredient" contained in it was revealed today by 12 academicians of the Longke Academy. It turns out that this ingredient is "polymerized onion element" synthesized with onions and vitamins. "Polymeric onion element" did not exist originally and needs to be synthesized through a series of complex chemical reactions. I wonder if it will become the next artemisinin and bring another Nobel Prize to Longguo. The person who invented "polymerized onion element" turned out to be Yang Chen, the new chairman of Sihai Group. Under his leadership, Sihai Group is very likely to solve its debt problem. Economic Times: Sihai Group, which is deeply in debt crisis, finally has hope. The slimming pills newly launched by Sihai Health have set off the weight loss market. One thousand boxes are sold out every day. Now it is hard to find a drug. Competitors bought water troops to discredit Sihai slimming pills, but with the proof of 12 academicians of the Longke Academy, the rumors were broken. Such a magical weight loss drug actually came from the hands of Yang Chen, the new chairman of Sihai Group. No wonder the city government dared to hand over the management of Sihai Group, which was in debt of 3 trillion yuan, to him. Yang Chen killed Changhui Group in his first move, and ignited the weight loss market in his second move. I wonder what big things he can do next time. Let us wait and see!

……

Now that national media outlets are vying to report on Sihai Slimming Pills, consumers no longer have any concerns and only hope that Sihai Health can release more of them for them to grab.

What's funny is the South Korean GRM company. They originally wanted to do something bad to harm Sihai Slimming Pills, but not only did they shoot themselves in the foot, they also aroused the national sentiment of consumers. With the endorsement of 12 academicians, consumers now have complete trust in Sihai Slimming Pills.

Yang Chen finished a day's work and called Chen Xi in to pack up and get ready to go home.

6 Mei ran in excitedly.

"Mr. Yang, you are on the news, and it's all from a national media organization. Mr. Yang, you are famous." Chen Xi said happily.

"I'm so happy for you, but sad for myself. I studied hard for 20 years, but I'm not as good as you, a vocational school graduate." Huang Wei said with a smile.

Zhao Jing asked: "Director Yang, we really want to know how you developed the slimming pill. Please share it with us."

The others also nodded quickly, looking at Yang Chen expectantly.

"I'll tell you when I get a chance. Let's go, after get off work, I'll take you out for a midnight snack." Yang Chen replied with a smile.

Yang Chen took the elevator with the six beauties to the first floor lobby. As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he saw Chang Sheng waiting with 6 academicians.

Chang Sheng quickly stepped forward to explain: "Director Yang, the academicians really want to see you, and they insist on waiting here for you to get off work. I have no choice but to wait here with them."

Li Rende stepped forward and said, "This is Director Yang. He is really handsome and young. Hello, hello, I am Li Rende, the dean of the School of Life Sciences of Longke Academy. I am honored to finally meet Director Yang."

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Hello, Dean Li."

The other academicians also hurriedly shook hands with Yang Chen and greeted him, taking the opportunity to introduce themselves.

Yang Chen smiled and said, "I'm really sorry, I'm really busy with work. Don't you academicians already know what ingredient X is and how it came about? Why are you still waiting for me here?"

Li Rende smiled and explained, "It's a rare opportunity for us to come here, and we'd like to invite Director Yang to have a meal and chat with us. I hope Director Yang can do us the honor of giving us this opportunity."

Yang Chen is very likely to win the Nobel Prize in Medicine with "Polymeric Onion Extract", so it will definitely do no harm to have a good relationship with him now.

“Let’s eat? It’s already past 9 o’clock, it’s too late to eat, how about tomorrow at noon?” Yang Chen said.

Li Rende thought about it, then nodded and said, "Alright! Then we will hold a banquet at the State Guesthouse tomorrow at noon and invite Director Yang to dine with us."

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, and said, “Okay! Then see you at noon tomorrow. I still have to take them out for a midnight snack, so I won’t accompany you academicians. President Chang, you must entertain the academicians and don’t neglect them.”

Chang Sheng quickly replied, "I understand! Don't worry, Director Yang, I will definitely entertain all the academicians well."

Yang Chen smiled and waved to the academicians, then left with Lu Mei.

The academicians were very unhappy. Usually, others would find ways to invite them to dinner, but they might not even be willing to look at those people.

They came all the way from the capital, and had been waiting since the afternoon until now, just to invite Yang Chen to dinner and ask for his advice, and to get closer to him at the same time.

Yang Chen actually threw them aside and took the beautiful woman out for a midnight snack. This was too much of a waste of time.

As soon as the academicians got on the car and left, they stopped pretending.

“Yang Chen is too ignorant. Dean Li has made us wait for so long, but he didn’t even give us the slightest bit of face.”

"I think he wasn't the one who invented the polymerized onion element. He was worried that he would be exposed if he had dinner with us, so he made an excuse to leave."

"I'm really angry. Usually it's others who wait for us, but today we waited so long for him, and he treated us like this."

……

Li Rende said with a smile: "Okay, stop talking. We will know whether he is capable or not at lunch tomorrow."
