# Third-Party Technology: A Breathtaking Enterprise #

In the office, Lin Fang looked at this news report with great interest. Unlike other media outlets that focused only on the female celebrity's elegance at the press conference, this article explained the development history of Third-Party Technology from a first-person perspective and featured a person who hadn't appeared in other news reports.

That person was Lin Fang himself. In this sprawling article of over ten thousand words, Lin Fang was practically praised as a figure on par with the two Ma's, perhaps even surpassing them.

Although the comments below were all beautiful messages like 'the editor was paid' or 'the editor should go eat shit,' this didn't stop Lin Fang from appreciating the report.

Not bad.

His company should have positive reports like this more often.

Qin Haiping, that female reporter from yesterday afternoon?

Lin Fang recalled slightly as he looked at the editor's byline and the mention of a lucky encounter at the entrance, then discovered that this was a local newspaper from Tiangang City.

Ganggang Entertainment News

Lin Fang scrolled through its past content and found that for the last few months, Third-Party Biotechnology had occupied the majority of its published content, from the relocation to the completion of construction—not a single detail was missed.

The influence was decent, and this newspaper wasn't official; it was a private one.

This would make a good mouthpiece.

Lin Fang thought for a moment and then notified Xia Jinsha to send someone to acquire this newspaper. It wouldn't cost much anyway.

Under the offensive of money, the newspaper owner happily handed over his industry, to the point that the employees only realized the next day that their boss had changed.

After personnel transfers and salary increases,

A bewildered Qin Haiping suddenly became the new Editor-in-Chief amidst the disbelief of the old Editor-in-Chief and everyone else.

On what grounds? They had clearly sucked up to this company too!

*Cough cough*,

When luck comes, there's truly no stopping it.

At the daily routine meeting of Ganggang Entertainment News, Qin Haiping sat upright in the Editor-in-Chief's seat, desperately suppressing the corners of her mouth so she wouldn't look too carried away with success.

"Um, everyone knows the specific situation, so I won't say much more. Everyone work hard, publish more reports, and strive to let the higher-ups see our efforts..."

For the promotion of Metabolix Fat-Burning Capsules, Third-Party Technology adopted the old routine: internet trolls plus an advertising bombardment, using a top-tier female star's endorsement as a gimmick, and continuously pouring in promotional funds.

People in the industry cried out that the wolf was coming. It was as if this company didn't know what cost meant; it was so crazy that even web novel advertisements were filled with its products.

Regardless of the effect, at least the brand awareness was established.

...

...

At the press conference,

Metabolix Fat-Burning Capsules were priced at 299 yuan, 599 yuan, and a 999 yuan premium set according to different effects. This price was already on the higher side in the domestic market, but as the saying goes, fat people are the easiest group for capital to harvest besides women.

Especially if that fat person happens to be female.

In a residential house,

Pan Yuting looked at the logistics information on the app and was delighted. It showed that the capsules she purchased had arrived at the collection point. As a product strongly recommended by her idol Wang Manlin, Pan Yuting had gritted her teeth and bought the most expensive set on the first day it went on sale.

There was nothing more troublesome in the world than being 165cm tall and weighing 140 pounds.

Bringing the long-awaited package up from downstairs, Pan Yuting quickly tore open the packaging. The premium set contained Metabolix Fat-Burning Capsules, which could support the user for 30 days of consumption.

After glancing at the precautions, Pan Yuting took two red capsules with warm water.

Hopefully it's not a 'stupidity tax,' the overweight young girl hoped expectantly.

Lin Fang saw the revenue report for the first week of Metabolix Fat-Burning Capsules on his desk: nearly 2 billion zhongzhou currency. This figure was a bit lower than he expected. Apparently, after being bombarded by various products, the domestic people had developed resistance and wouldn't easily pay for the unknown.

Wait for the word of mouth to ferment.

Lin Fang tossed the report aside and closed his eyes to rest; he didn't care much about this matter.

"President Lin, you were looking for me."

A few minutes later, Li Chengjian came before Lin Fang with an apprehensive heart, not understanding why he was summoned. Was it because he was dissatisfied with the market response to the Metabolix Capsules?

But in Li Chengjian's view, this data was actually quite good, especially given that these capsules had undergone an epic nerf and the actual cost was pitifully low.

Lin Fang looked at him and spoke bluntly, "I want Metabolix Diet Pills to hit the market sooner. Do you have any suggestions?"

Time waits for no one. Lin Fang wanted to speed up the company's development before exploring the second plane. He had never thought about stopping his exploration, even if it meant bringing about disaster.

It was nothing more than burning his bridges!

Li Chengjian's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood his meaning. This President Lin wanted to take a shortcut, but wasn't that clearly written in the criminal law? Why was he asking him?

Facing Lin Fang, who wore an ambiguous smile, many thoughts quickly flashed through the middle-aged man's mind.

At some point, Li Chengjian's back was soaked in cold sweat. He still remembered his father once telling him that there are many crossroads in life, but not many important ones; you might only encounter one in a lifetime, and it is a foreshadowing left by fate.

It seemed he had encountered this crossroads now.

To follow or not?

"President Lin, there is a way, which is to falsify data," Li Chengjian took a deep breath and said to Lin Fang. "I happen to know some friends who are good at this."

Hmm?

At Li Chengjian's words, Lin Fang's eyes lit up. His original intention was just to have him use more money to clear the nodes; he hadn't expected this manager to have such insights.

It seemed he was still being too conservative.

"In that case," Lin Fang said after learning some details from Li Chengjian, "no need to look for others. You provide a plan, and I will have Mite cooperate with you."

Lin Fang planned to use the remaining miscellaneous data from the craigvault server as bait. Since it was just sitting there anyway—plus there was Little Black. When it came to data falsification, no one could be more seamless than it.

"President Lin, it would be for the best if Dr. Mite can cooperate. He is more familiar with this drug," Li Chengjian breathed a sigh of relief and said happily.
