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

"That's right, it's the recipe!"

"How's my handwriting? Not bad, right?"

Qin Ge stopped writing and turned around, meeting Gu Caiwei's gaze as she bent over. Their lips were only a sheet of paper apart.

Gu Caiwei's body stiffened, and she felt her heart pounding wildly, her full breasts heaving violently.

Two streaks of crimson spread across her exquisite face, extending all the way to her fair neck.

"Your perfume is wonderful!"

Qin Ge turned back to writing, then suddenly stopped, as if struck by a thought. "How about our Qingcheng Beauty line also makes its own perfume?"

"I...I didn't wear perfume..." Gu Caiwei's face became even more radiant. She didn't know why she was explaining these things. Did it even matter?

But the words had already been spoken, and by the time they were realized, it was too late.

Qin Ge paused slightly as she wrote. Was it her body odor?

Gu Caiwei composed herself and quickly changed the subject, "Is what you wrote really the recipe?"

"You intend to repay them in kind?"

"Meng's Pharmaceuticals copied the Alluring Beauty Cream, so you also want to copy their core product to compete with them?"

"But we're not a pharmaceutical company!"

"With the new product about to launch, isn't this a bit too much of a move to change course?"

At this moment, the shyness on her face had transformed into a complex expression of shock. To be able to identify a drug's formula just by smelling it—what an incredible, cheat-like ability!

This means that as long as Qin Ge is willing, he can counterfeit all pharmaceutical products on the market, and not just ordinary counterfeits!

If Qin Ge's formula is correct, the replicated product will have the same effect as the original. Can that still be considered a counterfeit?

One person can outperform an entire R&D team, and the R&D cost is almost zero. Who can compete with that?

Gu Caiwei felt that the cognitive system she had built up over the years with her learning and experience was about to collapse.

"A replica? I have no interest in that!"

"Moreover, these things are so ineffective, some are even a complete rip-off, with none of the effects described in the product description."

Qin Ge can not only write out the formula, but he can also optimize and adjust it to produce a better formula, but he really has no interest in it, at least not now.

In Gu Caiwei's words, Qingcheng Beauty only needs to focus on the Wei Rou product for now, and they can make so much money that their hands cramp up. There is no need to do anything else for the time being.

While Qin Ge was studying the formulas for Meng's Pharmaceutical's core products, the atmosphere at Meng's Pharmaceutical was heavy.

"Mr. Meng, our products are completely unsellable. Should we take any measures?"

Meng Changkong's secretary asked cautiously, knowing that Meng Changkong was in a bad mood and afraid of accidentally provoking him.

"What measures will we take?" Meng Changkong stubbed out his cigarette and lit another. "That damned woman Gu Caiwei has already lowered the price to half, are we supposed to follow suit?"

"Selling it like this would mean losing money. Am I out of my mind to play this game with her?"

The secretary then asked, "Should we slow down or temporarily halt production?"

"Our inventory is piling up; if it all becomes unsellable, the losses will be enormous!"

"No need!" Meng Changkong had already thought this through. "They can't maintain a 50% discount for long. When they want to lower the price, that will be the best time for us to counterattack!"

"We can't let being out of stock hold us back!"

"Such a huge market is there; demand won't disappear for no reason. Our stock is far from enough to fill the market, and we won't be stuck with it!"

"However, we also need to keep a close eye on the situation at Qingcheng Beauty. I want to see what Gu Caiwei is up to!"

"Any movement from the Shen family? What has Su Wan been up to lately?"

The secretary replied, "They've been quite busy these past few days, almost constantly on the go. They even left Donghai yesterday."

"We don't know exactly what they're busy with. Our people have limited capabilities, and Shen Tingzhi and Su Wan aren't ordinary people, so we can't investigate that in such detail."

"Suddenly become busy?" Meng Changkong narrowed his eyes slightly. "Shen Ting's family is large and his business is big, so it's normal for him to be busy."

"It's good that they didn't interfere with Qingcheng Beauty's affairs, but they're really thick-skinned to not care about this situation. It seems that Su Wan really doesn't want Qingcheng Beauty anymore."

"Go and close the door!"

He beckoned his secretary over, patted her head, and pressed it down. "Calm down, you bastard!"

......

In a small square at Shuguang Hospital, Pan Cheng was sitting in a wheelchair, basking in the sun.

"What do you want?" Guo Lingling walked over slowly, her hand wrapped in gauze, looking quite impatient.

"Guo Lingling, your temper has gotten worse!" Pan Cheng's gaze roamed freely over Guo Lingling's delicate body, a wicked smile playing on his lips. "As the saying goes, even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. We're in the same hospital, can't I see you for no reason?"

"Staying in this hospital is so boring, hehe!"

"Come to my room, I'm the only one there."

"Pah!" Guo Lingling rolled her eyes at him. "You're already in this state, and you're still thinking about that trivial stuff!"

"Will a few days kill you?"

"Besides, you can't even stand up now, how can you possibly do anything?"

Now that they've both been fired and are on equal footing, she no longer needs to be beholden to Pan Cheng.

"Even if I can't stand, I still have you, don't I?"

"Only two legs were broken, the third one wasn't!"

"Stop talking nonsense, are you going or not?"

Pan Cheng looked like he had Guo Lingling completely under his thumb.

"I'm not going!" Guo Lingling refused decisively, but she was a little puzzled. Shouldn't Pan Cheng be more dejected in this situation? Where did he get his confidence?

"My hand is like this, it's inconvenient!"

"And with your three minutes of skill, what else can you do besides covering me in saliva?"

She turned and left after she finished speaking.

"Stop!" Pan Cheng called out to Guo Lingling. "I have some good news to share with you. You can decide after you hear it."

"Manager Li and Manager Su went to Meng's Pharmaceutical, and Meng's Pharmaceutical is now at odds with Qingcheng Beauty. If nothing unexpected happens, Qingcheng Beauty will soon be completely defeated."

"Manager Li has already agreed. He's reserved a position for me, and I can start immediately after I'm discharged from the hospital. The benefits are even better than those at Qingcheng Beauty!"

Guo Lingling trembled slightly, but when she turned around again, her face was beaming with a smile. "Manager Pan, you're truly capable!"

"Could you take me with you then?"

Pan Cheng was very pleased with himself and teased, "With your hand like this, it must be inconvenient!"

"The injury will heal eventually! Besides, I have a mouth too, two mouths!"

"I only have three minutes of skill, so I won't waste my breath."

"No waste, no waste. Three minutes each time, ten times will be half an hour."

"Then come to my place?"

"Okay~"
