All the heavens begin with the love in the courtyard.

Han Chunming not only had to sell to foreigners, but he also had to use strong medicine to make them willingly take out the money in their pockets.

Back when his pharmaceutical group was researching new drugs, they discovered that one of the experimental drugs had very poor therapeutic effects.

However, a researcher accidentally discovered that this stuff was more effective than any drug on the market in stimulating male virility. It could even strongly stimulate the male corpus cavernosum, giving people a kind of invincible illusion.

This discovery was naturally highly valued by the group at the time, so the group began to mobilize a large number of researchers to conduct in-depth development and research on the drug.

After five years, the drug was ultimately shelved, becoming a failed research project that wasted the group's billions of dollars in research expenses.

The reason for ultimately choosing to give up was that the side effects of that thing were impossible to eliminate. Although several solutions were researched, the decision was ultimately made to abandon the plan to launch it.

The side effects weren't fatal, but for a man, they were worse than fatal.

If it goes public, the end result will definitely be a massive number of customer complaints and lawsuits, which could very likely bankrupt a world-leading pharmaceutical group.

The drug has two fatal side effects.

First, it can cause men to become severely dependent on it. Once taken, they are very likely to become long-term users. It can be said that it has a strong psychological addictive effect, comparable to a super pill. If you don't take it for three days, you will feel uncomfortable all over.

At the time, in order to solve this side effect, researchers also studied many methods. The most effective and valuable solution for pharmaceutical companies was to dilute the drug's potency so that it could be taken as a chronic medication for a long period of time.

This practice is also an unspoken rule in most pharmaceutical industries worldwide. For example, for a drug with excellent therapeutic effects, in order to allow patients to use it for a long time, what can be solved with one injection is forced to cost patients ten injections, under the guise of safety.

This is the first side effect; the second side effect is the truly fatal factor.

The second side effect is that if that thing is used for a long time, it will most likely cause permanent loss of male sexual function.

"Permanent" means completely or utterly ineffective. Not only is it unable to display virility, but even the sperm inside is completely eliminated. Although the penis may still be present, the essence of the term is that the man has been physiologically castrated.

This is the only real reason why the group abandoned it. Imagine if the world's number one pharmaceutical group launched a drug that was 20 to 50 times more effective than Viagra, and that was also addictive. It is estimated that within a year, there would be tens of millions of customers worldwide.

Years later, the last man on Earth who could still get an erection finally succumbed to the torment of being surrounded by women and took that thing. Thus, humanity officially entered the countdown to destruction.

Isn't it terrifying to think about?

Such consequences are something no group can afford.

Hundreds of experiments have proven that it takes about two to five years for a man to lose his erectile function, which is why the company completely abandoned it after five years.

To address this side effect, the group spent hundreds of billions of dollars on in-depth research in hopes of solving the problem. They even removed countless testicles, but still couldn't find a solution.

Of course, the most likely solution is to develop an "antidote" based on this drug.

While this antidote cannot solve the problem of male infertility, it can prevent men from becoming dependent on the drug.

This solution was developed to address the first type of side effect, but as mentioned earlier, diluting the drug's efficacy is the best solution.

This "antidote" is a one-time use item. Once the customer loses their dependence after taking it, they will not consume it again. Naturally, it is not the best solution for pharmaceutical companies.

Therefore, this antidote is only an alternative for pharmaceutical companies. In the world of capital, there is no such thing as right or wrong; only profit is eternal.

There was originally an antidote, and this thing could have been marketed, but the risks outweighed the benefits, so naturally they chose to forgo the profits.

For Han Chunming, this thing was a perfect opportunity to make a quick buck.

First, this thing is unaffordable for Chinese people now, so it's only sold to foreigners. Second, this thing can be sold at exorbitant prices, and after only one year, the business will be completely abandoned.

Of course, there are two risks involved. The first is that selling this stuff requires cover-up, which is the original sin.

The second risk, and the biggest one, is that this thing is a Pandora's box. We must find a way to keep the key in our own hands. If the secret formula is leaked or copied by foreign pharmaceutical companies, it will be a devastating disaster for men all over the world.

Although Han Chunming has the antidote, the disadvantages of this thing definitely outweigh the advantages. The thought of hundreds of millions more eunuchs is terrifying.

Of course, Han Chunming naturally possessed such a key. Pharmaceutical companies naturally have their own methods to prevent other competitors from copying them, such as adding other materials to make it more difficult to imitate, or altering certain molecular structures of the drug to make it impossible for others to do so.

To become the world's number one pharmaceutical company, it must have its own unique and advanced features. Han Chunming recalled several methods to prevent counterfeiting.

But in this world, there is no perfect solution. You have the key, and others have the tools to make keys. It all depends on how skilled the locksmith is.

Therefore, Han Chunming also had to prepare two things. First, this thing could only be sold secretly and could not be patented. He had to hide himself, and the sales volume could not be too large, but could only be popular in a small area.

Second, we must design a technology that is difficult to imitate for this drug.

Of course, Han Chunming currently has neither funds nor equipment, so he can only use rudimentary methods to manufacture that thing. He still needs to conduct experiments to make it. As for the "antidote," he can only wait until he has money in the future to figure out how to manufacture it.

Han Chunming pondered for a long time and secretly made a plan in his mind.

He didn't tell Taozi about his plans yet, but instead asked Taozi to resign first and wait for his good news.

Meanwhile, at the Villan restaurant, Cai Xiaoli was absentmindedly eating her Western food when the middle-aged white man opposite her poured her half a glass of red wine in a gentlemanly manner, which Cai Xiaoli did not notice.

She thought about all the moments she and Taozi had shared over the years, and just now, she had completely ended this seven-year relationship.

She didn't know why, but she felt a sense of relief. She could see Taozi's love for her over the years, but it was like a heavy burden that made it hard for her to breathe.

Now that it's all over, it's for the best. It's better to end it sooner so that we can both find new happiness sooner.

In a daze, Cai Xiaoli picked up her wine glass and clinked it against the man opposite her.

"Chels!"

Cai Xiaoli picked up her wine glass and took a small sip; this Western-style etiquette deeply attracted her.

During her four years of university, Cai Xiaoli studied diligently. Her excellence earned her more support from the school. In her junior year, she began working as a part-time foreign language translator and even accompanied various leaders on overseas inspection tours.

The more she learns about things abroad, the more she feels the gap between this country and the West. Her current salary, including various subsidies, is over one hundred yuan, which is more than most of her peers.

But this salary is equivalent to one or two days' wages for a dishwasher abroad. This huge gap often leaves her feeling frustrated.

Fortunately, her excellence has attracted a lot of attention and offers, including many foreign companies and government agencies that have entered the country. Simon is one of them.

Simon is the Beijing representative of a large U.S. machinery company, and he has recently been negotiating with a state-owned enterprise about importing special machinery.

This was related to how much foreign exchange the country could save, and her boss also told her to cultivate a good relationship with Simon.

Simon also took a liking to Cai Xiaoli. Simon admitted that he had been divorced for three years. Although he was twenty years older than Cai Xiaoli, love is not about age. He was free to like Cai Xiaoli, so pursuing her was also his right.

The Western approach was direct; they picked Cai Xiaoli up from get off work every day, served her Western food and wine, and drove her around. For a time, Cai Xiaoli was truly captivated by this atmosphere.

If Taozi did the same thing, their child would probably be old enough to be in elementary school by now, but Taozi doesn't have the money!

Simon's annual salary was 300,000 US dollars, plus various bonuses and subsidies. This kind of income was like a domineering billionaire CEO pursuing a country girl in later generations. How could Cai Xiaoli not be tempted?

However, people from the East are still somewhat reserved, and I hope to learn more about them.

In Cai Xiaoli's mind, Simon had been divorced for three years and had many shortcomings, such as being a bit old, a bit fat, and having a strong body odor.

However, he also has many advantages. His income alone is enough to overshadow all his shortcomings. Moreover, he is a gentleman and generous, unlike Taozi, who is a blockhead. Thinking about it carefully, he is indeed a good choice.

Women, especially women of this era, and women who are learning foreign languages ​​to change their fate, find it really hard to resist the pursuit of such men.

Without Taozi's burden, Cai Xiaoli and Simon seemed much more relaxed during the meal, and Cai Xiaoli drank more than half of a bottle of red wine.

After the meal, Cai Xiaoli's face was slightly flushed. Simon gentlemanly reached out and took her hand. Cai Xiaoli's expression stiffened slightly, but she accepted.

Simon drove off, offering to take Cai Xiaoli home, but halfway there, he suddenly drove towards his residence. Cai Xiaoli saw this and tried to stop him, but the words stuck in her throat.

Perhaps without Taozi's interference, she also longed for this relationship to move into a more substantial stage as soon as possible.

When they arrived at their destination, Simon politely invited her in for a cup of coffee. Cai Xiaoli hesitated for a moment, but then got out of the car and followed Simon into the hotel.

Simon's company rented long-term hotel suites for Simon, which are not common in China and are mainly used to accommodate foreign guests.

Cai Xiaoli and Simon took the elevator, and finally the two went into the room.

A large color TV, air conditioner, refrigerator, washing machine, genuine leather sofa—the spacious living room, the high-tech decor, even the decorative paintings hanging on the living room walls, all looked so elegant and beautiful.

The entire suite was a perfect blend of high technology and classic style, which made Cai Xiaoli's eyes sparkle. The longing in her eyes made Simon, the middle-aged white man opposite her, nod slightly. He was confident that he could win over this woman!

Instead of making coffee, Simon went to the liquor cabinet, took out a bottle of high-proof tequila, a bottle of juice, two stemmed glasses, poured ice from the ice maker, and in less than five minutes, a red and blue cocktail was ready.

Simon carried two glasses of wine into the living room and saw Cai Xiaoli still admiring the walls. He smiled and handed her the glasses.

"Let's have a cocktail!"

Cai Xiaoli hesitated for a moment, but still took it and took a small sip. It was icy cold and a little sweet, quite delicious. Seeing Simon drink most of the glass in one gulp, Cai Xiaoli's guard was slightly lowered, and she also took a small sip.

Simon, in a gentlemanly manner, showed Cai Xiaoli around the three-bedroom suite. While drinking, Simon introduced the apartment to Cai Xiaoli, and the two chatted and laughed, creating an ambiguous atmosphere. However, Cai Xiaoli still maintained the sense of shame typical of Eastern women.

After the tour, the two went to the balcony. The apartment had excellent natural light, and from the balcony, they could see the park not far away. A gentle breeze was blowing, and they could see people riding bicycles on the road not far away. Cai Xiaoli felt particularly comfortable at that moment.

Looking at the majority of people on the street, dressed in blue, yellow and black clothes, the low courtyard houses, and the dilapidated tenement buildings in the distance, and then looking at the appliances and sense of fashion in this room, the disparity made a certain desire in Cai Xiaoli's heart begin to sprout and grow.

A gentle breeze blew, and Cai Xiaoli's alcohol finally took effect. However, this semi-drunken feeling made her feel more comfortable. Two dimples appeared on her face, which was slightly flushed and hot. She leaned against the edge of the balcony, enjoying the breeze and the sense of superiority brought by being in such a high-class hotel, which made her feel somewhat intoxicated.

What she didn't know was that the middle-aged fat man behind her had a strange glint in his eyes when he saw her.

He put down his wine glass, loosened his tie, took off his coat, revealing a white shirt underneath, and unbuckled his belt two notches, making his enormous belly appear two sizes larger.

He slowly stepped forward, approaching Cai Xiaoli from behind, and wrapped his arms around her waist. This made Cai Xiaoli stiffen. She tried to break free, but felt that her entire body was unable to move.

His tall stature and weight of at least 280 or 290 pounds made it seem as if a robust, white-skinned, fat pig was standing upright on the back of a skinny little monkey when he held Cai Xiaoli, who weighed just over 100 pounds, in his arms.

Perhaps sensing Cai Xiaoli's struggle, Simon quickly bent down and whispered in her ear.

"Darling, I love you, I will marry you, I will make you my bride, baby, you are so beautiful, I can't help myself~"

After hearing Simon's sweet words, Cai Xiaoli felt dizzy and unsure whether it was due to the alcohol or her genuine anticipation of this moment. She stopped moving and let Simon hold her like that.

Seeing that the girl in his arms had stopped struggling, Simon smiled triumphantly. He had no intention of showing any pity for such an innocent Eastern girl.

As for saying "I love you" to girls, he himself has forgotten how many times he has said it. It seems like he said it once last night, hehe!

Simon was clearly a master of flirting. His movements were not rough. He knew that when dealing with this kind of somewhat traditional Eastern woman, the first time was to make her feel respected. He gently kissed Cai Xiaoli's earlobe, his movements slow and focused.

At that moment, Cai Xiaoli felt goosebumps all over her body. She closed her eyes tightly, clenched her teeth, and breathed heavily.

At that moment, she felt like a small boat in a turbulent sea, rocking back and forth, but still stuck in the same place.

At this moment, her thoughts were in turmoil and flipping through her mind rapidly, recalling the years when she was a child who never had enough to eat or wear, and finally when she was sent to the countryside as an educated youth.

She fell for a carefree, outspoken boy who was loyal, thoughtful, and capable, but he rejected her.

Later, another taciturn boy appeared in her life. He took care of her like an older brother. He could give her everything, but he couldn't give her what she wanted.

A tear slid down Cai Xiaoli's cheek as Simon's kiss slowly moved from her earlobe to her lips. Cai Xiaoli finally gave up thinking and began to let him do as he pleased.

……

Ten minutes later, an angry roar suddenly came from the bedroom of the suite.

"Shit! Fuck...why is it not working again! Fuck, fuck! Bitch! Use your mouth on me!...!"

Cai Xiaoli blushed and ran out of the hotel in a disheveled state. She was in a daze, and even after she got home, the ugly scene from earlier was still in her mind.

She fell into a semi-conscious state, and after an unknown amount of time, tears suddenly streamed down her face. She frantically tore at her clothes and ran towards the bathroom...!
