76: Chapter 76 The Show Begins

In the first half of the year, an exercise supplement from Central Continent became the new favorite for countless people trying to lose weight.

It received countless positive reviews.

Although the company producing these capsules has always denied that they have weight-loss effects, claiming they only serve as an aid, that did not stop Metabolix Fat-Burning Capsules from selling globally.

Against this backdrop, Gao Lide Pharmaceuticals began restructuring in February, fully merging into Third-Party Biotechnology. The name Gao Lide vanished into the dust of history, and Metabolix Diet Pills officially submitted certification applications to countries around the world!

Switzerland was one of them.

Lin Fang looked at the Minister of Internal Affairs standing before him. If the market entry application for Metabolix Diet Pills hadn't been stalled by Switzerland officials for nearly a month, Lin Fang might have actually believed his words about being very concerned about Third-Party Technology.

The reason given by the Switzerland Drug Regulatory Agency had always been that it was still under review.

Now the reason seemed quite fascinating; a joke he had seen online was about to come true for him personally.

Standing behind Minister Pellegrini was a former employee of Third-Party Technology, project manager Xiao Hamaide, who had gone to work at the Swiss Agency for Therapeutic Products (Swissmedic) after being fired by him.

He was also a university alumnus of Pellegrini. Upon the "suggestion" of Xiao Hamaide, this high-ranking and powerful minister had come here from Glarus, hundreds of kilometers away.

Lin Fang had heard that the alumni network in Switzerland was very well-developed, and today it seemed to live up to its reputation.

However, according to Xiao Hei's information, Pellegrini was unaware of the situation; he mainly felt that his university classmate's proposal was good, and that visiting a Chinese company would indeed reflect well on his political image.

Xiao Hamaide's reasoning for doing this was simple: he was preparing to show off his power like an old peacock spreading its tail.

But when Lin Fang was a child, his favorite thing to do was shoot birds.

"Mr. Xiao Hamaide, I heard you have become a member of the Swissmedic committee. It seems that letting you leave Third-Party Technology was the right choice."

On the way to the tour, just as the old peacock Xiao Hamaide was about to spread his tail, Lin Fang interrupted him.

"My new drug reached final review before last month. Mr. Xiao Hamaide, can you tell me why it still hasn't passed?"

The dozen or so people were startled by Lin Fang's sudden attack, and the atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point.

Except for Xu Anqing, the reception team from Third-Party Technology was numb; they didn't know what to do as no one had ever taught them how to handle this situation.

My BOSS, is this something that can be said out loud?

How could he dare to do this!

Xiao Hamaide, who was just about to say something, saw his smile freeze instantly, feeling the gazes of everyone like needles on his back.

"Mr. Lin, data review must... must be rigorous."

Up ahead, Pellegrini frowned. In that instant, he understood everything, but this was, after all, the land of Switzerland, and this person from Central Continent was being a bit too unscrupulous.

"I see," Lin Fang watched the Switzerland officials' shifty eyes and couldn't help but raise a mocking smile. "I thought it was my problem."

——

The Switzerland federal motorcade drove out of the Third-Party Technology Company. Pellegrini sat in the back with a livid expression; clearly, this trip had not been pleasant.

Looking at Xiao Hamaide beside him, Pellegrini said coldly: "Old classmate, you had better give me an explanation."

"Luciano, I was treated unfairly there before."

Xiao Hamaide had long been prepared and called him by his first name affectionately: "I just wanted to teach this company a lesson, but I didn't expect this company to be so bold; they completely disregarded us. I apologize to you."

"Watch your words."

Pellegrini snorted coldly, thought for a moment, and then continued: "What is their new drug?"

"It is a very miraculous weight-loss drug."

Xiao Hamaide recalled its effects and showed a somewhat greedy expression: "Its value is at least over two hundred billion U.S. dollars."

"I can't do anything about other countries, but I don't want this company from Central Continent to make money in our country, so I suspended its approval."

Hearing such blunt words, Pellegrini looked at the bald man in surprise, seemingly not expecting his former friend to be such a person.

At the same time, he was shocked by the value of the company's new drug; it was far more expensive than New Antibiotics.

Xiao Hamaide continued with flattery: "Of course, this depends on your decision, Minister Pellegrini."

"..."

Pellegrini thought for a moment but said nothing.

The motorcade drove straight into the distance, gradually disappearing at the end of the black-haired youth's field of vision.

——

After visiting two more places, it was two days later when Pellegrini returned to Glarus.

The car stopped in front of a townhouse Villa in the government residence area. This was where he lived, and his family was already waiting for him at home.

Pellegrini's wife was beautiful and dignified. Seeing him return, she showed a happy expression: "Dear, welcome back. I have already prepared dinner."

Pellegrini kissed her gently on the cheek and said warmly: "Have Erwan and Flulina been behaving?"

"Daddy!" Two children, around six years old, ran over from the living room. Pellegrini squatted down and hugged them into his arms, one in each hand.

At this moment, he was the happiest father and husband in Glarus—at least on the surface.

The night view of Switzerland was indeed nice.

The moonlight was bright, and tonight's firmament was exceptionally distant and deep. One could only see dense stars blinking, surrounding the Milky Way like stars holding the moon.

Skillfully finding an excuse about work, Pellegrini said goodbye to his family and got into the car again, driving in another direction.

Before taking office as a federal councilor, he had also been a successful businessman, so he was able to buy a Villa on the mountainside, where one could see the distant Alps.

It was also a top-secret residence.

This was his true home, the place that could truly bring him pleasure.

In front of the Villa, Pellegrini carefully adjusted his tie and suit to make himself look more dignified and presentable, then knocked on the door of the Villa.

"Baby, you finally remembered me."

A tall, half-naked Germanic man with dark, shiny chest hair exuding a strong masculine aura lifted Pellegrini by his buttocks: "I can't wait."

After Pellegrini, his suit disheveled, was carried into the Villa by the Germanic man, a third male voice sounded in the room.

Rustle, rustle~

Just as the three of them had finished undressing, a sudden change occurred!

Bang——!!

The floor-to-ceiling window, over four meters wide, shattered directly, and two cylindrical black objects were thrown in from the outside.

They were flashbangs!
