272: You two can go together!

Faced with this nearly uncontrollable scene, Ye Chen just sighed softly.

"It's gone."

These three simple words made everyone's movements and voices come to an abrupt halt.

They stared blankly at Ye Chen, their faces still holding the excitement from when they were making their offers.

Ye Chen glanced at them.

"When I asked you to try it just now, each of you backed away faster than anyone."

"Now that you know the effects, you're fighting over it?"

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the faces of Han Hai, the Old Expert, and those few who had made excuses to decline.

"I already gave you the opportunity."

"It was you who didn't want it."

"Now I have no reason to help you with beauty treatments, right? After all..."

"I'm not a professional."

The moment his voice fell, the entire conference room fell into a deathly silence.

Then.

Regret! Self-reproach! Feelings of helplessness swept over everyone like a tsunami.

Especially Han Hai and those few executives who had clearly opposed it; their faces flushed red and then paled.

They remembered their own self-righteous faces from just a moment ago; every word was like a loud slap, fiercely striking their own faces!

A burning pain!

Heart-piercing regret!

Ten years of youth, a miraculous effect nearly akin to regaining one's childhood, was right before their eyes, yet they pushed it away with their own hands and even stepped on it!

The Old Expert was even shedding tears of old age, beating his chest and stomping his feet: "I was foolish! I am truly an old fool!!!"

The others were also devastated as if they had lost a parent, looking at each other in dismay, wishing time could turn back to the moment Ye Chen asked "Who wants to try it first," so they could scramble to rush up, even if that ointment looked like...

Well, even if it really was shit, they would be willing to smear it all over their faces!

Bing Lan took in everyone's reactions.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in her heart, and asked.

"A-Chen."

"About this ointment... do you have any other thoughts?"

She knew very clearly.

Once this thing actually hit the market, it would definitely cause a market earthquake, or even tremors on a wider scale...

So she had to hear Ye Chen's plans, especially since the core of this medicinal effect seemed inseparable from Ye Chen's blood.

It wasn't like she could have Ye Chen go and donate blood every day, right? Even if Ye Chen didn't feel bad about it, she did.

Ye Chen naturally understood Bing Lan's concerns.

He scratched his head and revealed a smile on his face.

"I definitely can't donate blood every day."

"Even if you drained me dry, it wouldn't be enough."

"Plus, this effect is too fierce. If it really went on the market as is, it wouldn't be competing in the market, it would be wrecking it."

"By then, let alone competitors, those people at the 749 Bureau who have nothing better to do could find an excuse to come knocking on the door."

"Because they have a rule that you can't 'use magic in front of Muggles'."

He paused and stated his plan.

"How about this."

"I'll give you three drops of blood a month, and you find someone to use my blood as the core, mixed with other medicinal herbs for dilution, to formulate enough for three months."

"The medicinal effect will be much weaker, but it will definitely be far stronger than the top-tier products on the market."

"This way, it won't be too exaggerated, and there won't be an issue with raw materials... well, the problem of me lacking blood."

"Most importantly, the market needs to be maintained."

"Just like why hospitals make you get all sorts of check-ups right off the bat; is it just because that's the procedure?"

"No, they just want to make more money, and we're the same."

Upon hearing this, Bing Lan's eyes instantly brightened.

This was indeed a good idea!

It not only preserved the product's core competitiveness but also controlled the impact and risks, and furthermore, it solved the problem of sustainable production.

She nodded vigorously.

"Okay, let's do it that way."

Seeing that she agreed, Ye Chen turned his gaze toward the faces in the conference room, which were filled with regret and longing.

"Did you all hear that?"

"In the future, there definitely won't be that kind of miracle drug."

When the people around heard this, their eyes dimmed.

Regret!

If there were a regret pill in this world, they would definitely scramble to eat it!

But before they could react.

Ye Chen changed his tune and continued playfully.

"However, if you perform well, don't lose face for Shu Yue, and don't let Lan Lan be wronged."

"As for me, maybe if I'm in a good mood, I'll occasionally reward those who perform outstandingly."

"Of course, it depends on whether I have time, and... whether you are worth it."

As soon as these words were out.

The entire conference room was silent at first, and then it exploded!

The executives, who had just been devastated, instantly had burning light erupt in their eyes again!

There's a chance!

There's still a chance!

They also have a chance, just like the aunt, to possess ten years of youth reappearing!!!

Han Hai was the first to react, abruptly standing straight and bowing deeply to Bing Lan and Ye Chen.

"President Bing! Mr. Ye! I, Han Hai, hereby swear that from now on, I will definitely do my utmost, go through fire and water for the group, and have absolutely no disloyalty!"

"If I am slack in any way, may I be struck by lightning!"

The Old Expert also wiped away his tears and stated excitedly: "Mr. Ye! This old man... no, I! Although I am old, I still have experience! I will definitely lead the R&D department to make the subsequent dilution formula and process perfect, and I will never let down your trust and reward!"

The other executives also scrambled to shout.

"President Bing, rest assured! Mr. Ye, rest assured! We will definitely work hard!"

"Yes! Whoever makes President Bing feel wronged, I will be the first to not agree!"

"In the future, leave the marketing department to me! I guarantee I'll beat the Mitsubishi Group until they don't know which way is north!"

"Leave the production process to me! There won't be even the slightest error!"

...

For a time, the conference room was filled with intense emotions, and morale soared to its peak.

Watching this scene.

Bing Lan couldn't help but laugh.

Is A-Chen trying to win over people's hearts for her?

However...

This is also good.

Money can make the devil push the mill.

Only when interests are deeply tied can one make people loyal, right?

And painting a big picture for these people that is within reach, isn't that also acceptable?

Ye Chen smiled, didn't say anything more, and instead pulled Bing Lan's hand.

"Let's go, it's fine to leave this to them."

"We can get off work and go home."

Bing Lan gave a soft "Hmm," letting him hold her hand, and walked out of the conference room under the fervent and respectful gazes of the executives.

Li Qin also followed them out, closing the door on her way, isolating the excitement and noise of the room.

The corridor quieted down.

Bing Lan stopped and looked up at Ye Chen.

"A-Chen, thank you."

Ye Chen squeezed her palm: "Are you still being polite with me?"

Li Qin hopped up from behind, squeezed between the two, hooked onto one of each, and blinked her bright, sparkling eyes: "Younger Male Cousin, you helped with such a big thing, and Sister Bing Lan just says thank you and that's it? Shouldn't you... take the opportunity to suggest something lewd?"

Ye Chen: "..."

Seeing this, Li Qin got even more excited, shaking Ye Chen's arm and lowering her voice.

"Like... what they act out in those little movies from little Japan?"

"You helped out, the beautiful female boss has nothing to repay you with, so she has to offer herself, or something like that? Hmm? Hmm hmm?"

Ye Chen was dizzy from her shaking him, so he raised his hand to press down on her head: "Sister Qin, stop watching those unhealthy things."

Li Qin gave an "Ouch" and dodged away, pouting: "I'm fighting for benefits for you, okay! You don't know what's good for you!"

Bing Lan listened from the side, her cold face expressionless, but she glanced at Li Qin and said indifferently: "Little Qin, since you're thinking so much for him, how about... you offer yourself to repay him too?"

Li Qin: "!!!"

She instantly turned bright red, jumped back a step like a startled rabbit, covered her face with both hands, but the gaps between her fingers were wide, and her eyes were rolling around.

"I... I'm just embarrassed!"

Her voice was muffled, carrying exaggerated shyness, but there wasn't the slightest embarrassment in her eyes; it was full of a feeling of being eager to try, "And... Sister Bing Lan, you would kill me!"

Bing Lan's mouth corners turned up slightly: "I won't."

"Really?"

Li Qin suddenly put her hands down, her eyes wide round, not a trace of shyness on her face, only excited light, "Sister Bing Lan, do you mean it? You're not lying to me?"

"Hmm." Bing Lan responded.

Li Qin's breath hitched, and she clenched her little fists.

"Then... then tonight? Strike while the iron is hot?"

Bing Lan: "..."

She was speechless for a moment, and a trace of helplessness finally appeared on her cold face, and her earlobes also flushed a very pale pink.

Alright!

She just wanted to tease her good friend Li Qin.

But the result...

She got teased by the other party!

Ye Chen was sweating on his forehead listening from the side, so he hurriedly took one with each hand, put his arms around their shoulders, and walked with large strides toward the elevator.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go home to eat!"

"What tonight or tomorrow, children shouldn't think about messy things all day!"

Li Qin was being held by him, yet she still squirmed restlessly, shouting in her mouth: "Who is a child! I'm older than you, Younger Male Cousin! Sister Bing Lan already agreed! Is it that you can't do it?"

Ye Chen: "..."

Bing Lan was being held by Ye Chen, feeling the temperature from his arm and his slightly quickened heartbeat, and couldn't help but tilt her head and laugh softly.

That laughter was very light, like a feather brushing across the tip of the heart.

Ye Chen looked down at her.

Bing Lan met his gaze.

"A-Chen."

"Hmm?"

"Your ears are red."

Ye Chen: "..."

Li Qin burst into a triumphant laugh.

Ye Chen was annoyed: "You two, tonight, you're both going to offer yourselves to me to repay it!"
