With the successful conclusion of the press conference for Special Medicine 8028, discussions about Li Zishen and the medication surged on the trending search charts like a tidal wave.
For a while, Li Zishen became the heartthrob of countless young women, his heroic image and unique charm spreading rapidly online.
#LiZishenHandsomeBeyondMeasure#, #TheFilialPietyAndWisdomBehind8028#, and other topics successively topped the trending searches, igniting heated discussions among netizens.
Within just half an hour, Li Zishen’s photos, videos, and related information were crazily shared across the internet, and every one of his actions, every smile, became the focal point of attention for many women.
——So there’s such a touching story behind 8028, the filial piety is commendable.
——He must be at least 6 feet tall, right? Just like a walking hormone bomb, so full of vigor. Who wouldn’t be charmed? Suddenly, I, as a single, really want to get married.
——Boyfriends should be , tall and able to earn money, and most importantly, handsome.
——He’s very charismatic, a business prodigy!
However, amidst this wave of enthusiasm, Li Zishen seemed exceptionally calm and detached.
In the Chairman’s office, he was flipping through market analysis reports related to the special medication while making marks with a fountain pen and giving directions.
At that moment, his administrative assistant came over with a freshly brewed cup of chrysanthemum tea, a beaming smile on her face.
Being adored must feel amazing, right?
Just five minutes ago, he posted a workday snapshot on his Friends Circle to show off a little.
Of course, he showed restraint, not taking photos of his computer screen, nor leaking any company secrets—just a few neatly organized file folders.
"Chairman, the internet is full of your news, it’s explosive!" the assistant exclaimed excitedly.
"Such popularity is only momentary, of little significance," Li Zishen sipped his tea and replied indifferently, "For the company... it’s paramount that 8028 receives recognition in a short time."
"Yes, Chairman, I was shallow!" replied the assistant.
Li Zishen closed the file and glanced at his wristwatch: "Let’s call it a day, I’d like some time to myself."
The assistant nodded: "Yes, Chairman."
He’s working so hard; I need to step it up as well.
After the assistant left, Li Zishen pulled open a drawer and tightly grasped a small wooden pig carving, his phoenix-like eyes deeply gazing out at the night scene beyond the window.
In this era of information explosion, proper publicity and marketing are indeed essential.
But integrity and quality are more important.
He was well aware that the re-launch of Special Medicine 8028 would affect the existing market share, and many eyes were eagerly watching it.
At 8 p.m., at the Wang Mansion.
Wang Junchen had just accompanied Ye Wanhua in the yoga room for her prenatal exercise routine of the day.
They walked side by side into the teahouse.
Ye Wanhua gently stroked her belly, and Wang Junchen was filled with warmth and anticipation as he watched. He patted his wife’s head, sat across from her, and began to enjoy this precious moment of tranquility.
Wang Junchen poured two cups of tea for himself and his wife, the aroma of the tea refreshing and uplifting.
This tea had just been sent by Tang Mei yesterday.
Then, smiling, he picked up his phone to browse the latest news but unexpectedly came across several trending searches about Li Zishen.
Yuan Min’s has already been suppressed!
So many, all about him, and so fast!
The car accident ones are gone too!
Wang Junchen’s eyes suddenly turned cold, as if engulfed by a chill.
Due to Special Medicine 8028, he and Li Zishen had been competing secretly, both vying for a larger share of the pharmaceutical market.
Yesterday morning, Wang Junchen had sent Jiangbei to Jin City, first deliberately leaking the news about Tang Xiaowan’s whereabouts near Jinyuan Bridge to Li Zishen, then sending a secret brown file bag concerning Yuan Min to Nanjiang Villa, which almost drove Yuan Min to a mental breakdown and nearly set the study on fire.
The purpose of these maneuvers was simple: to disturb Li Zishen’s focus and force Yuan Min into submission.
Even this afternoon, half an hour before the press conference began, the rear-end collision Li Zihan experienced was also orchestrated by Wang Junchen.
His goal was still to instigate panic in Yuan Min.
He just didn’t expect Yuan Min to be so ruthless towards herself; in order not to affect her son Li Zishen, she concealed her poor mental state and injected herself with a large-dose, mood-stabilizing medication twice in one day to attend the press conference.
In doing so, the rumors of Madam Lai’s Yuan Min ill health crumbled on their own.
Of course, in order to realize his father Li Zhenshan’s dying wish, Li Zishen had also been scheming for a long time, including using his connections to support Li Wanshan’s nearly bankrupt auto parts company.
Yishen Group belonged to a family business. Even though Li Zishen had ascended to the chairman’s throne at a young age and held the highest shareholding, some aspects still required the support of his second uncle, Li Wanshan, to ensure Special Medicine 8028 entered the market more smoothly.
The influence of the older generation of uncles was not to be underestimated.
At this moment, Wang Junchen had already opened the trending searches and was browsing through the news about Li Zishen.
His gaze lingered on Li Zishen’s handsome face and dashing figure, zooming in on the images, and a chill gradually rose in his heart.
A business prodigy? Public relations acted quickly!
Hmph, it seems... you’re ready to emulate your old man, establishing a persona of scholarly excellence and filial piety.
"Ah Jun, what are you looking at?" Ye Wanhua noticed her husband’s peculiarity, gently tapped his hand, and spoke tenderly, "So engrossed, aren’t you?"
Wang Junchen came back to his senses and quickly turned off his phone screen, tenderly looking at Ye Wanhua.
He didn’t want his wife to concern herself with these reports, especially since they involved the Leng Family, and Li Zishen’s appearance and figure on the trending search lists were too reminiscent of Li Zhenshan.
Even though Li Zhenshan had long passed away, Wang Junchen was still worried that his wife might hold lingering feelings for him.
It would then become a hindrance when taking action.
Wang Junchen smiled and shook his head, "Nothing, just some unimportant news."
"Have some tea, moisten your throat."
Ye Wanhua did not continue to pry, understanding her husband well, knowing he didn’t want her to get caught up in these complex struggles.
However, the Leng Family’s press conference was already common knowledge; how could she be unaware?
During afternoon tea, she had already heard quite a bit of discussion and couldn’t help but briefly look over some related entries before the conference.
But she had not yet had a chance to look at the news about Li Zishen on the trending lists.
Ye Wanhua conjectured it probably related to this.
She was very concerned that Wang Junchen, in seeking revenge, would sink deeper and deeper until there was no return.
"Mm, nice, very refreshing!"
"Mom says, tea is the best way to calm the mind."
Here, "Mom" referred to Tang Mei, whom Ye Wanhua started to call in this way after retrieving baby clothes from Nanfeng Mansion that day.
Wang Junchen nodded in acknowledgment, "Indeed."
"Ah Jun, whatever you want to do in the future... just go ahead, but one thing, don’t harm the innocent."
Ah Hua, are you worried about Li Zishen, or are you concerned about his younger brother, Li Zihan?
Not a single one of the Li Family is good news!
"Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing, it won’t happen." Wang Junchen gently patted his wife’s hand.
Ye Wanhua smiled and continued to enjoy her tea; she trusted him, knowing that he would keep his promise.
Yet Wang Junchen’s mind was clear as crystal; the pharmaceutical market competition had only just begun, and the struggle with Li Zishen was set to intensify.
He swept a cold glance over his phone screen.
It appears I was too benevolent before, not acting harshly enough, to make you all feel it was no big deal. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel•fire.net
