A miraculous doctor descended from the heavens.

That night.

At Su Man'er's house, a room full of beautiful women gathered.

Shi Yurou, Chen Qingqing, Xu Yan, and Zhao Xiaojing, along with several other women, gathered at the Su family home to discuss opening a pharmaceutical factory.

In addition, Shi Yurou also specially invited a friend - Zheng Lan, the business manager of a pharmaceutical company in Beijing who happened to be in Shenzhen on a business trip.

Zheng Lan is around thirty years old, with a graceful figure and outstanding temperament.

Perhaps it's due to his profession, but his every move naturally exudes shrewdness and competence.

"Zheng Lan, these are my sisters, and also my partners in setting up this pharmaceutical factory. You're a professional in this field, could you please tell us about the relevant matters of setting up a pharmaceutical factory?" Shi Yurou got straight to the point.

"Okay." Zheng Lan nodded, her gaze sweeping over everyone's faces, but when she glanced at Gu Feng, who was sitting quietly to the side, a strange look flashed in her eyes.

After a brief pause, she continued, "The production and sale of medicines are directly related to the safety and efficacy of medications for ordinary people, so the application requirements are extremely stringent, and the procedures are numerous and complicated. I'm sure you've all heard about this, right?"

The women all nodded in agreement.

Gu Feng, however, seemed to be listening to gibberish and naturally did not offer any opinion.

Zheng Lan continued, "According to the regulations of relevant national departments, newly established enterprises must apply for GMP certification from the Safety Supervision and Management Department of the Provincial Drug Administration within thirty days of obtaining the qualification to operate a pharmaceutical factory. In other words, in addition to meeting the requirements for hardware and software facilities, individual pharmaceutical factories also need to have solid financial resources. The investment required to pass GMP certification is quite substantial; it's simply impossible to do so with less than ten million yuan. Everyone must have a clear understanding of the investment amount."

"Ms. Zheng, we have already made preparations regarding the funds," Su Man'er replied.

"Okay, since funding isn't a problem, that solves the first step. The next issue is site selection and permits. As far as I know, since the 80s, private individuals have been starting pharmaceutical factories in Guangdong Province. Currently, there are over four hundred private pharmaceutical factories in Guangdong, but due to historical policy reasons, these factories haven't had a smooth start. Because of the regulations on the approval process for pharmaceutical manufacturing enterprises in my country, only legal entities are qualified to establish pharmaceutical factories. In this situation, individuals who want to start a pharmaceutical factory have to 'get a hat'—either register a company first and then invest in the pharmaceutical factory through that company, or simply register under the name of another pharmaceutical factory."

"Huh?" The women looked at each other in surprise.

"So, does that mean we have to establish or acquire a company first before we can set up a pharmaceutical factory?" Shi Yurou asked.

"No need," replied Su Man'er, not Zheng Lan. She continued, "I've been in the pharmaceutical sales industry for a while now, and I know that Guangdong Province just introduced a new regulation last year that allows individuals to apply for pharmaceutical factory licenses. That means that whether it's domestic or foreign, individuals or companies, they can invest and set up factories in Guangdong Province. Setting up a pharmaceutical manufacturing company only requires compliance with national and Guangdong Province's industrial policies and development plans, especially encouraging new technologies and new products."

"That's right, it seems Ms. Su is quite knowledgeable about the market," Zheng Lan continued. "Guangdong Province introduced this policy to guide enterprises or individuals with funds and projects into the market. Obviously, this is very beneficial to everyone here. Because in this way, you can save a step, avoid the need for 'labeling,' and reduce some investment costs."

She paused, then slowly added, "However, there's one point I must make clear to everyone. The only change in the investment form during registration for privately owned pharmaceutical factories is that their operation still faces market competition. The standards of the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry will not fundamentally change. In practice, setting up a pharmaceutical factory involves investments in three main areas: production equipment and GMP-certified facilities, products and technology, and marketing. Pharmaceutical factories established in an individual's name will still face this operating model."

"Hehe, Zheng Lan, I'm not worried about market competition at all," Shi Yurou said with a smile.

"Oh?" Zheng Lan looked at her in confusion.

"You might not know this, but many of you here used to work in pharmaceutical sales and promotion. Especially Man'er, who has been in this industry for a full ten years," Shi Yurou said to Zheng Lan, pointing to Su Man'er.

Su Man'er smiled but didn't reply, though her face flushed slightly.

If it weren't for Gu Feng's appearance, she would probably still be that lowly pharmaceutical representative who has to be mindful of others' feelings and constantly risks losing her virginity.

"Uh, so we're all in the same industry. I guess I'm just showing off my limited skills. Please forgive me," Zheng Lan said with a slightly embarrassed smile.

"Not at all, Miss Zheng, you're too modest. How could it be considered showing off your limited skills before an expert? Your words have enlightened us." Xu Yan quickly replied.

"Yes, a word from you is worth more than ten years of study. We have a little experience in pharmaceutical sales, but when it comes to running a pharmaceutical factory, it's like a maiden getting married for the first time." Chen Qingqing chimed in with a smile.

Next, the group of women started discussing the details one after another, going on and on.

Everyone was in high spirits, freely expressing their opinions, and this first "board of directors" meeting was quite lively. Only Gu Feng listened, yawning incessantly, as if he were listening to a bunch of aliens giving a speech…

It was the second day again, and the sun rose early.

When Gu Feng woke up, Su Man'er was still fast asleep. He wasn't sure how late the women had been discussing things last night; he only remembered leaving early, going upstairs to sleep, and then getting up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night to find them still chatting.

Not wanting to wake her, Gu Feng quietly got out of bed, quickly washed up, and went to school.

The weather in Guangdong Province is like a sensitive and sentimental woman, always humid and hot.

Yesterday it was cloudy and raining heavily, but today the sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly.

Walking on the scorching hot street, Gu Feng finally understood what it meant to be like an ant on a hot pan.

Before long, his clothes were soaked with sweat.

Wiping the sweat dripping down his face, he really wanted to shout to the heavens: "Hou Yi, your mother is calling you out to shoot down the suns!"

However, he didn't shout, and Hou Yi didn't come out. So when he got to the school, he was already cooked through, like a piece of beef on a hot plate.

Upon entering the dormitory, they found only chubby Erxi, wearing only briefs, sprawled on the bed, fast asleep like a giant worm; the rest of the students were nowhere to be seen.

"Second Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, get up." Gu Feng reached out to shake Erxi, only to feel the fat body under his palm trembling, as if it was about to spill out at any moment.

Erxi was finally shaken awake. He groggily opened his eyes, wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth: "Junior Brother, why are you up so early?"

"It's getting late, the sun's already high in the sky," Gu Feng replied casually, looking around. "Second Senior Brother, where's the others?"

"Last night, Lao Chu and I took care of Ye Peng until midnight, then Yang Xiaochen and Cen Jingpeng came to take over, and I came back to sleep. Lao Chu said he had some things to take care of, so he didn't come back," Erxi said, yawning.

Gu Feng felt a little hot upon hearing this.

While others were taking care of Ye Peng, he was sleeping soundly at home. "Second Senior Brother, I..."

"It's alright, junior brother," Erxi said while putting on his clothes. "You saved Old Ye's life and paid for all his medical expenses. If we're not willing to do our part to take care of Old Ye, then we'll really have no face to live with ourselves."

"Won't that interfere with your classes?" Gu Feng asked again.

"It's alright, Lao Xiao and I are almost graduating, and Lao Chu and Lao Cen are about to start their internships, so we don't have many classes. Sigh, the only pity is Lao Ye and Lao Li. If this hadn't happened, they should be preparing for their internships too. But now, Lao Ye might be able to continue his internship after his injury heals, but who knows when that will be. Lao Li is even worse off; not only have he wasted these past few years of his studies, but he might even end up in jail." Erxi sighed worriedly.

"Second Senior Brother, don't worry too much. Senior Brother Li won't go to jail," Gu Feng said confidently.

"Really?" Erxi's face immediately lit up with joy.

"Yes, you'll see him in a few days." Gu Feng smiled and patted his shoulder, urging him, "Hurry up and wash up, let's go have breakfast."

"Great!" Upon hearing about food, Erxi's eyes lit up immediately, and he dashed into the bathroom with a speed completely disproportionate to his size.

Gu Feng shook his head with a wry smile. This second senior brother was good in every way, except for his gluttony, which was a worry.

Li Xiaolan once said that while others who came here to study would get thinner and thinner, Erxi was the opposite; she got fatter and fatter, gaining more than 40 pounds in just one semester.

If he keeps getting this fat, he'll get sick from it sooner or later.
