My Wild Wife in Shanghai

After dismissing Ma Qing, Chen Ye fell into deep thought.

His formula for the medicine Neiyuan Dan caused a sensation upon its release, and the product was in high demand and short supply.

Now, someone has come to steal the formula again.

For the first time, Chen Ye truly realized that a formula could have such high value.

So, if I quit my job now and start my own pharmaceutical company, using the formulas from the medical books my master gave me, wouldn't I be able to make a name for myself very quickly?

Why stay in this company and continue to scheme against these people?

However, he then thought back to when he had nothing, it was Bai Xueyan who gave him the opportunity and helped him.

Now is the time when Bai Xueyan needs him, and it would be very unethical for him to resign at this time.

However, these days, being kind often ends up hurting yourself.

Is it foolish to bury one's talents and waste time in order to repay a debt of gratitude?

For the first time, Chen Ye considered quitting his job.

He wants to start his own business.

He began to think about his future path.

He wanted to make a name for himself in Shanghai, and obviously, by using his master's recipe and starting his own business, he would rise to prominence much faster.

But should I really resign now?

Chen Ye was caught in a dilemma.

Suddenly he remembered his master, Deng Chunfang.

Over the years, while I was in prison, whenever I was confused, the old man would always give me guidance.

Despite his seemingly unreliable nature, he always manages to unexpectedly guide himself in crucial moments.

With this in mind, Chen Ye decided to make an appointment with his master at the prison to meet and talk.

Chen Ye made a phone call, and the prison told him that the visiting time would be two days later.

Two days passed quickly.

Chen Ye brought several sexy magazines to visit his mentor Deng Chunfang in prison.

"Hey kid, you still remember me?"

Deng Chunfang was clearly dissatisfied that Chen Ye hadn't visited her in prison for a long time.

Chen Ye was indeed a little embarrassed and apologized, "Master, I've been too busy lately, it's my fault."

"You're busy? Busy with what? Busy with women?" Deng Chunfang said irritably.

"Master, please don't do this!"

"What about me?"

"Can you please stop talking about women all the time?" Chen Ye said somewhat dejectedly. "I have a lot of things to do at the company. By the way, I've been promoted to deputy director at a Fortune 500 company."

"What? You're a leader now?" Deng Chunfang exclaimed, her eyes wide. "You've done so well! No wonder you never came to see me. Turns out you've achieved something and gotten cocky!"

"Master!" Chen Ye muttered, "I'm really not what you think. My achievements today are all thanks to what you taught me in prison and those books you wrote. Otherwise, with my abilities, I'd probably still be doing manual labor!"

Deng Chunfang took a deep breath and said, "Then why did you suddenly have a change of heart and come to see me today?"

"Actually, I've encountered some things I can't figure out, so I came here specifically to ask you for advice!" Chen Ye said.

"See? What did I tell you? You only come to see me when you need something!" Deng Chunfang was even angrier.

"Master, I promise I'll come see you often from now on, and I'll bring you more and better magazines!" Chen Ye said, "How about I smuggle some banned magazines from abroad for you?"

"Banned? Is it that explosive?"

"Of course! They're all restricted; you can't find them on the market!" Chen Ye said. "Now that I have money, I can get you some better food!"

"Sigh!" Deng Chunfang sighed, looking helpless. "Now I can only look at magazines and dream about it!"

After saying that, he looked sharply at Chen Ye: "By the way, what's wrong with you?"

"Master, I'm at a crossroads in my life and need your advice!" Chen Ye said. "I want to start my own business, but I'm reluctant to leave my current company..."

Chen Ye briefly recounted his experiences and his mental journey.

"Master, do you think I should go it alone?"

Deng Chunfang frowned, then suddenly said something profound: "The business world is turbulent and unpredictable; you can't control it!"

"What do you mean?" Chen Ye asked.

"With your current skill level, treating patients and developing traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions is no problem at all," Deng Chunfang said. "But you need to understand that going it alone and starting your own business is a completely different field, and it's not something you can do just because you have medical skills."

"I have the formula, that's the core. Then I find investors to cooperate with. Is it that difficult?" Chen Ye asked.

Deng Chunfang sighed and said, "You're still too young. Back then, I had the same idea as you, but in the end, I not only accomplished nothing, but also ended up with a lot of debt."

"You need to understand that the business world is all about profit. Those bigwigs in business are all ruthless and mercenary. If you don't understand the complexities of the business world, your partner might end up making money while you drown!"

Chen Ye was slightly moved when he heard Deng Chunfang say this.

Even among the employees within the company, there are countless instances of backstabbing and deception.

Going even higher, into the fiercely competitive business world, the methods used are likely to be even more extreme.

Deng Chunfang continued, "Although the products made from the formula you provided sold like hotcakes, that was because of the current company, that is, the current platform!"

"They have mature operations, GG, partners, and so on. All the details are also mature, so your product can play its greatest role on such a platform."

"But if you do it yourself and you don't understand business, every hurdle here will be fatal for you!"

"Moreover, you should know that many of the things I gave you are lost treasures."

"Once these things are released, they will attract attention from all sides!"

"By then, putting aside your commercial success, your very formulas will be the subject of fierce competition among powerful figures. Can a clueless young man like you, who's only been out of prison for six months, handle that? Can you manage it?"

Chen Ye: "... ..."

"I'm not an idiot, okay?"

"I'm just describing it!"

"Couldn't you use a nicer word to describe it?"

"Okay! You idiot, is that enough?"

Chen Ye: "... ..."

Whatever! It doesn't matter.

However, Deng Chunfang's words jolted him awake.

He works for a Shanghai-based group, and occasionally he might develop a groundbreaking drug. However, his fame is diluted by the group's success and he doesn't attract much attention.

If he really starts his own company and continuously launches various novel products, it will definitely cause a stir in the industry.

At that time, he would be in the eye of the storm, his industry would be suppressed, and more people would try every means to seize his formula.
