However, Li Xiaoman and Bai Yan were unaware that somewhere in Beijing, some high-ranking officials had already begun to closely monitor every move of Wanyan Company.
This was an ordinary large mansion in Beijing, surrounded by numerous guards, all armed and patrolling, and various powerful presences hidden in the shadows, secretly protecting the mansion.
Inside the mansion, an elderly man with silvery-white hair was sitting upright on a ceremonial chair, while a middle-aged man in a white lab coat was reporting something to him.
"Xiao Li, are you sure that the effects of Medicine No.1 from Wanyan are so potent? Can it really cure all terminal illnesses?"
The elderly man asked with a light smile.
"Yes! I am sure, their company’s Medicine No.1 can not only cure all of humanity’s terminal diseases, but according to my experimental analysis, it also has a slow-enhancing effect on the human body. Approximately ten doses of diluted Medicine No.1, mixed with some precious medicinal herbs, can enhance the physical capabilities of a thousand ordinary soldiers by about thirty percent! And there are no side effects!"
The middle-aged man in the white lab coat was very serious, meticulous in his response, showing great respect to the elder before him.
"What! Are you serious?!!"
The elderly man’s gaze sharpened, a shock visible in his expression that was ordinarily as unchanging as if Mount Taishan were collapsing in front of him!
No one understood better than him how crucial the combat capability of an ordinary soldier was to a country!
And Medicine No.1 from Wanyan could actually enhance the physical capabilities of ordinary soldiers! Boosting the overall combat capabilities of the military!
The factors involved were so vast, if they could possess Medicine No.1 from Wanyan in large quantities, it could completely influence subsequent international strategic layouts and actions, even altering foreign attitudes!
"Yes, absolutely true!"
The middle-aged man in the white lab coat took a deep breath, nodding solemnly; he absolutely dared not lie about this matter, nor did he dare to lie to this elderly man.
"Immediately send someone to contact Elder An, I want to meet Bai Yan!"
"Have Bai Yan come to Beijing?"
"No, I’ll go and meet this young man myself. Also, such important medicinal research results must not fall into others’ hands! Order strict protection for Wanyan Company! If those foreign claws dare to reach out, break them all!"
The elderly man spoke decisively, his tone authoritative and indomitable.
The guards behind the elderly man reflexively snapped to attention with a sharp salute, responding robustly.
The Hengle Pharmaceutical Group from country H, previously leading the sniping, had completely vanished, not daring to provoke Wanyan Company at this time. Now, Wanyan was truly unshakeable.
Yes, utterly unshakeable!
Because, in just these three days, Wanyan Company had already become the nation’s most popular pharmaceutical company!
And the other leading pharmaceutical companies felt a significant impact on their revenues and other aspects due to Wanyan’s strong rise, but of course, that wasn’t the most crucial point!
The most crucial aspect was that everyone feared that someday Wanyan, having satisfied its appetite and gained even stronger power, would turn around to deal with them, and what would they do then!
After all, the Li Goddess at Wanyan Company wasn’t foolish; as long as Li Xiaoman found just a few clues, she would realize what dirty tricks these leading companies had played, especially the targeted business strikes against Wanyan Company.
The CEOs of the leading companies gathered together, having discussed and deliberated, found no solution but to seek help from higher-ups!
They could only opt for negotiations now. CEOs of several leading pharmaceutical companies were praying internally, hoping that Wanyan Company wouldn’t mind our previous provocations, even if it meant ceding more benefits.
After all, Wanyan was just one company with limited drug production, and it wasn’t likely to monopolize the entire market.
In business, what matters most is money, and harmony brings wealth!
However, coincidentally, the help sought by these leading companies was quickly acknowledged, and unexpectedly, a big shot discreetly arrived in HZ City to deal with Wanyan Company’s issues.
On the fourth morning after the press conference, while Bai Yan was exercising with An Xiaowan and Chen Jing in the villa, he received a phone call from Mr. An.
In the call, Mr. An’s tone was very serious, instructing Bai Yan to come to Anxiang Villa as soon as possible, though he didn’t specify the reason.
After hanging up, Bai Yan turned to An Xiaowan, who was practicing yoga, and said, "Xiao Wan, Jingjing, Mr. An needs me, I’ll go there first, you guys continue your practice."
Upon hearing this, An Xiaowan stopped doing yoga. Dressed in her thin practice attire, she hurriedly stood up, worried that Bai Yan might leave early: "No more practice, no more! I’m going with Brother Yan to see Grandpa too."
An Xiaowan, smiling cheerily, held onto Bai Yan’s arm. Her full figure brushed against his arm through the thin fabric, unable to bear a moment apart from him.
Chen Jing stood on the side, her beautiful eyes conveying a message, her smile observing the two; she also stood up, her tight practice attire accentuating her curvaceous figure, imbuing her with youthful vitality.
Chen Jing’s intentions were clear; she wanted to go along too.
"Alright then, I’m convinced. Let’s all go together," Bai Yan said, shaking his head with a wry smile.
"Brother Yan is so nice, give me a kiss~"
An Xiaowan laughed heartily, puckering her cute, pink lips for a kiss, and Bai Yan, affectionately, bent down and kissed her.
On the side, Chen Jing was both envious and somewhat dejected. In front of An Xiaowan, she couldn’t muster the desire to compete for affection, especially since she had fallen for her best friend’s man, which made her feel guilty around An Xiaowan.
Throughout the summer vacation, Bai Yan spent most of his time with An Xiaowan. Whenever she had time, she would drag him to practice yoga, play badminton, or go shopping.
In any case, An Xiaowan was adamant about not letting Bai Yan leave her side easily, increasingly clinging to him.
And Chen Jing, similarly, shared An Xiaowan’s sentiments; both girls couldn’t bear to be away from Bai Yan even for a second.
Bai Yan drove these two clingy girls all the way to Anxiang Villa.
At the villa, Mr. An and another old man in a Zhongshan suit were playing chess in the courtyard.
The villa’s housemaid led Bai Yan and the girls inside.
An Xiaowan called sweetly. Mr. An, who was playing chess, turned around and laughed dotingly: "Awww, my little princess is back. Come here, let grandpa see if you’ve lost any weight."
"Not at all, Brother Yan has been cooking delicious meals for Xiao Wan every day; I’ve even gained weight!"
An Xiaowan’s complaint seemed lighthearted, but the sweet smile at the corners of her mouth clearly showed her thousandfold satisfaction with Bai Yan, loving this man to the depths of her soul.
"Haha, that’s good. Silly girl, go play upstairs with Jingjing. I have something to discuss with your Brother Yan."
Mr. An laughed heartily, very satisfied with Bai Yan and pleased with how much An Xiaowan liked him.
An Xiaowan and Chen Jing entered the villa, both girls quietly understanding that this was not the time to disturb Mr. An and Bai Yan.
