Xing Bin had an epiphany after some contemplation.
Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals, although a small company, had a powerful background – it had no need to fear whether in terms of financial resources, materials, or manpower. However, open attacks are easy to dodge, while hidden ones are hard to guard against. Rivalries on the surface could be dealt with openly and fairly, but the fear was the petty individuals who engaged in underhanded tactics behind the scenes.
The formulations of Qinglu Beauty Elixir and Skinny Pill were a mystery, and even Xing Bin, a learned and talented medical doctor, couldn’t figure out their composition after researching the pills. If it weren’t for his glimpse of the original recipes, he might never have imagined that the concoction of Qinglu and Skinny Pill could be so simple!
Indeed, it was simple! To concoct Qinglu and Skinny Pill, you only needed four types of herbs.
However, these four herbs had already vanished from the current market!
So even if someone managed to deduce the compositions of Qinglu and Skinny Pill, they wouldn’t believe their findings. Even if they did believe, they absolutely wouldn’t be able to replicate them!
This was An Yiqing’s confidence! She had the Ancient Space’s medicinal fields and an endless supply of rare medicinal ingredients! In this respect, no one could match her!
But there were always some undying individuals who wanted to steal something, which was why An Yiqing had released such news, tempting the enemy to take the bait more quickly!
Sure enough, within a mere five days, Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals’ security department caught three groups of people attempting to infiltrate the company under disguise!
Upon receiving the news, An Yiqing smiled coolly. Without another word, she instructed Xing Bin to call the media and the police.
To kill the chicken to scare the monkey, to set an example for others – An Yiqing executed this move very skillfully!
In less than an hour, TV and online news were broadcasting the ins and outs of this incident with great fanfare, exposing the companies that attempted to steal the formulas and subjecting them to legal punishment!
As soon as the news came out, it caused another outcry. Associating this with Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals’ high-profile actions before, people quickly understood the connection.
An Yiqing had made a masterful move! Killing the chicken to scare the monkey was executed so decisively that everyone was in awe!
From then on, for some time, no one could rival the fame of Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals! No one dared to covet the secrets of the Skinny Pill and Qinglu Beauty Elixir anymore!
February 2nd, the Daughter of the An Family’s return banquet arrived!
The whole day, the An Family members were all ceaselessly busy. Especially An Zisheng and his sons An Zhiyan and An Zhihang, they were so occupied that their feet barely touched the ground, fearing any small detail might be overlooked at the banquet.
As the person of the hour, An Yiqing, however, was dragged away from the An Family by Gu Yelin.
"Ah Lin, where are you taking me?" Sitting in the car, An Yiqing looked at Gu Yelin, who was in the driver’s seat, with puzzlement and asked.
"To pick out a gown," the man freed his right hand to touch the girl’s head and said in a low voice.
A gown? Doesn’t the family have that prepared already?
Seemingly perceiving An Yiqing’s confusion, Gu Yelin continued to explain, "I have a friend who’s a designer. His style suits you very well."
An Yiqing nodded, okay, she couldn’t let down Ah Lin’s kind intentions.
Over half an hour later, the Aston Martin parked in front of a boutique in the city center.
It was a not-too-large bespoke clothing shop, and its location was slightly off the beaten path. Located on the edge of the city center.
Upon entering the store, a fresh and clean white decor captured An Yiqing’s fancy at first sight.
Gu Yelin reached out and tapped lightly on the glass; shortly after, a seductive-looking woman walked out.
"Young Master Gu?" The woman’s eyebrows lifted in surprise as she gazed at Gu Yelin, "You haven’t contacted me in eight hundred years. What made you think of me today?"
"Picking a gown," Gu Yelin was consistent in his style – cold and concise, never one to waste words.
The woman felt a pain in her stomach looking at Gu Yelin’s frosty face. She then turned her gaze to An Yiqing, who was held by the waist by Gu Yelin.
"Tsk tsk, what a beauty!" The woman’s eyes lit up as if a hungry wolf spotting meat, she pounced towards An Yiqing, "Hello, beautiful! I am Ling Shuang, an old friend of Young Master Gu! You are so gorgeous; tsk tsk, look at this figure, look at this face! Beautiful, are you interested in being a model for me?"
An Yiqing blinked her dewy eyes, looking helplessly at the wolfish Ling Shuang in front of her, feeling a sense of fondness rise in her.
Gu Yelin’s expression grew darker and darker. He casually grabbed a book and blocked Ling Shuang’s face that was almost plastered onto An Yiqing’s.
"She’s mine—keep your distance! Put away your flirtatious tricks!"
Ling Shuang’s face stung from the slap; she shot Gu Yelin an evil glare. Only this iceberg wouldn’t treat women gently; he could even lay hands on her, such a sexy woman! Humph! No good in any man!
Watching the interaction between Gu Yelin and Ling Shuang, An Yiqing blinked thoughtfully. This Ling Shuang... likes women?!
