I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

The news about Qingcheng Beauty and Mengshi Pharmaceutical spread quickly and attracted a lot of attention.

Mengshi Pharmaceutical's actions are relatively easy to understand, but Qingcheng Beauty's actions are baffling.

"Xiaoxiao, I'm afraid Qingcheng Beauty can't help us anymore." Chen Song from Nancheng County also heard the news and, like everyone else, thought about it a lot but still couldn't figure it out.

"They've gotten into a fight with a company in Donghai called Meng's Pharmaceutical, so they probably won't be able to help us for the time being!"

"Why are they dumping their core products at half price? What are they trying to achieve?"

"Even if we win, what then? This is a Pyrrhic victory, a loss that will cripple us. Most importantly, once the price drops, it's very difficult to bring it back up!"

"People who have experienced a low price are unlikely to accept the original price again; they're cutting off their own escape route!"

"This is absolutely ridiculous!"

He guessed that this decision was made by Qin Ge, Chen Xiaoxiao's classmate. After all, Qin Ge was only in his early twenties and was still a child in his eyes!

Otherwise, would an adult do such a thing?

"Girl, your classmate is too unreliable. He might be just acting on impulse when he says he wants to help you. Don't take it seriously."

"You should be down-to-earth. Try to avoid associating with him in the future to avoid being influenced by him."

"No way!" Chen Xiaoxiao put away her phone. She had been scrolling through various news articles ever since her father told her about the incident at Qingcheng Beauty. "Qin Ge wouldn't lie to me!"

"I...I'll make a call and ask what's going on."

She spoke with conviction, but in reality, she was already panicking.

Lately, Qin Ge seems rather unreliable to her; these are the kinds of things he's capable of doing.

However, thinking of Gu Caiwei made her feel a little more at ease. Gu Caiwei is such a principled person that she wouldn't even allow her to stay for her internship, so she shouldn't let Qin Ge do anything reckless.

"Missing me?"

"If you don't have anything else to do at home, why don't you go back to Donghai first?"

Qin Ge was in Gu Caiwei's office when he received Chen Xiaoxiao's call. Gu Caiwei had called him over early that morning.

In Gu Caiwei's words, with such a big incident happening at Qingcheng Beauty, it would be better for the boss to personally oversee things, even if he just sits there doing nothing and acts as a mascot.

Qin Ge also had some new ideas. He was not satisfied with just this little bit of retaliation against Meng's Pharmaceuticals for causing trouble.

"You still have the nerve to make sarcastic remarks? What's going on with your company?"

Seeing Qin Ge so relaxed, Chen Xiaoxiao felt a little more at ease, but she was still worried.

"It's nothing, it's all normal operation, don't worry."

"You can proceed with your preparations for the collaboration as usual, but it may have to be postponed until this turmoil settles down."

"It should only take three to five days. Then you can have your dad send someone over to coordinate with us."

Qin Ge didn't go into too much detail, but his tone was very firm.

"real?"

"When have I ever lied to you?"

"You've lied to me a lot. You even said before that you were just rubbing against me..."

After chatting with Chen Xiaoxiao for a while, Gu Caiwei came in from outside the door as soon as the call ended.

She was holding a basket filled with various medicines. "President Qin, most of Meng's Pharmaceutical's core products are here."

Qin Ge had just arrived at her office when he instructed her to gather these things. Since she didn't have anything else to do at the moment, she went to do it herself.

"Mr. Qin, what do you need these things for?"

Gu Caiwei kept pondering this question, but ultimately couldn't figure it out.

Qin Ge took the basket from her hand, casually picked out a bottle of stomach medicine, and opened it. "President Gu, based on your experience, what kind of impact do you think Wei Rou will have on Meng's Pharmaceutical when it goes public?"

Gu Caiwei pondered for a moment and said, "The impact will definitely be significant; their inventory will probably be stuck with them."

"If they want to sell their goods, they have no choice but to keep lowering prices."

"However, we are already selling the Alluring Beauty Cream at half price, so if they sell it at half price again later, it will probably be very difficult to sell it."

"I estimate they'll have to lower the price to 30-40% of the original price, and even with the discount, they'll have a hard time selling due to Vivian's influence!"

"Even if they clear out all the inventory at low prices, the losses will still be huge. As for how huge, that depends on how much inventory they have."

"Is it just a loss? Is there a possibility of bankruptcy?" Qin Ge took out a stomach pill from the medicine bottle, gently crushed it, and smelled it.

"That's impossible!" Gu Caiwei answered decisively. "Meng's Pharmaceuticals has a deep foundation. Although this loss is painful enough, the impact won't be too great. They can handle it."

"Then give them a bit more strength!" Qin Ge blew the powder off his fingers, looked around, then casually pulled open a drawer and paused for a moment.

"Sorry, I forgot this was your seat."

The drawer was full of Gu Caiwei's personal belongings.

Qin Ge noticed a box of medicine inside and blurted out, "Menstrual cramps?"

"Take less of these medications in the future. They only treat the symptoms, not the root cause, and will only make your condition worse!"

"I'll treat you later, and I guarantee you'll have heavy and regular periods from now on."

"Okay..." Gu Caiwei replied blankly. She didn't think there was anything wrong with her personal belongings, since there was nothing shameful about them. However, Qin Ge's words made her pretty face immediately blush.

Thank you so much! You're such a kind person, caring about something like this!

However, she still had a sliver of hope in her heart: was Qin Ge just saying it casually or was he serious?

She had heard from Su Wan how amazing Qin Ge's medical skills were, but she had never had the chance to witness them firsthand.

Of course she knew that taking too many painkillers was bad, and she had already developed a tolerance, so she was taking increasingly larger doses.

But she had no choice; the pain was excruciating when it struck!

There are a few days every month when I envy women who don't have menstrual cramps, and even hate myself for being a woman.

If it could really be cured, how wonderful it would be to not have to suffer this pain every month!

What are you looking for?

Gu Caiwei changed the subject, taking the opportunity to cover up her embarrassment.

"Paper, pen!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Caiwei silently pointed to a pen holder on Qin Ge's left, then to the A4 paper under the printer at one end of the table, a hint of resentment in her eyes.

Was he doing that on purpose, or was he just blind?

Qin Ge took out paper and pen and started writing quickly. He stopped halfway through, picked up a stomach pill, sniffed it, and then picked up the pen to continue writing.

After finishing one page, he took another bottle of medicine from the basket, repeated the process, crushed it, sniffed it carefully, and then wrote furiously.

"President Qin, what are you doing?"

Gu Caiwei was completely baffled, so she went around behind Qin Ge and bent down to take a closer look.

The paper was covered with the names of various medicinal herbs, along with their proportions!

"This...this can't be the recipe, can it?!"

Gu Caiwei had a rough idea, but she really couldn't believe it.
