30: GOD drug is becoming increasingly popular.
It was past ten o'clock the next morning, and soft sunlight spilled into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Qin Yang opened his eyes and looked at the lovely person sleeping beside him. A smile appeared on his face as he gently moved her arm aside, kissed Deng Yue on the forehead, and then got out of bed.
Stretching toward the window, Qin Yang walked into the bathroom to wash up.
While Qin Yang was washing up, Deng Yue got up at some point, walked behind him, and wrapped her arms around his waist.
Qin Yang turned his head and smiled, "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
"Hmph! It's all your fault. I told you I had to work, but you kept me up so late. It's hard to get leave at our company, and that trash supervisor only gave me half a day off. I need to get up and get ready soon; I have to go to the company."
"Haha, my fault, my fault. Who told you to be so charming! Come on, give me a kiss!" Qin Yang laughed.
"Get lost! You have foam all over your mouth."
"Hey, I insist on a kiss!"
The two of them played around in the bathroom for a while, and by the time they left the hotel, it was nearly twelve o'clock noon.
After taking Deng Yue out for lunch and walking around the streets for a bit, Qin Yang drove her to her company.
The place where Deng Yue worked was an advertising company, and her position was an advertising designer. However, the overall environment was poor, and the advertising industry was currently extremely competitive. Deng Yue's salary consisted of a base pay plus commission, and she currently earned over five thousand yuan a month. Her company hadn't landed a big order in a long time.
When they arrived at the location, employees were already entering the office building one after another. When they saw a maybach approaching, everyone's eyes lit up, thinking that some big order had arrived. Some employees of the advertising company had already stopped in their tracks, ready to jump at the chance to introduce themselves. After all, no one turns down money, and if they could land a big order, the commission alone would be a substantial income.
However, when they saw Deng Yue get out of the passenger seat, everyone was stunned. Moreover, Deng Yue's face was beaming with smiles; she looked extremely happy and even waved goodbye enthusiastically to the driver.
After the maybach drove away, a few of Deng Yue's colleagues gathered around her.
"Yue Yue, you're something else, hiding this so well. Tell us, who was that in the car?" asked a girl with a bun hairstyle, wearing a mischievous grin.
"Hehe, who else could it be? My boyfriend, of course!" Deng Yue replied generously, not feeling shy at all.
"Your boyfriend? Didn't you break up?"
"Heehee, who says you can't get back together after breaking up?" Deng Yue laughed.
"Huh? Is it really the same one? But I remember your boyfriend was a food delivery guy, right? That car that dropped you off just now didn't look cheap." The girl with the bun hairstyle asked again.
"That's a maybach, a brand under Mercedes-Benz. The cheapest one costs nearly two million. I specifically looked just now; that was an S680, which belongs to the luxury car series. Buying it must have cost no less than four million!" Another of Deng Yue's colleagues explained.
"Holy crap!"
"Awesome!"
For ordinary people, four million is truly a huge number. It can be said that ninety percent of the people in this world will never have that much money in their entire lives. Yet, now someone had spent it on a single car. How much must that person's net worth be? They might even be a billionaire!
A billionaire—this was already on a different level from ordinary people. Yet, their colleague had a billionaire boyfriend. No matter how you looked at it, it seemed like a mindless urban power fantasy drama!
"Who says that just because someone delivered food before, they will deliver food for a lifetime? My boyfriend is very hard-working, okay? Plus, with some opportunity and luck, one should look at a person with new eyes after three days of separation!" Deng Yue replied. At this moment, she was proud to the extreme. Which girl isn't a little vain? Qin Yang dropping her off today had earned her plenty of face. Furthermore, Qin Yang was her actual boyfriend and her future husband. This feeling of shocking others and being unbelievable made Deng Yue feel exhilarated from head to toe.
Of course, Deng Yue did not answer when her colleagues asked how Qin Yang had changed so much.
Seeing that it was time for work, Deng Yue interrupted everyone's questions and pulled the girl with the bun hairstyle toward the inside of the company.
"Yue Yue, you are so lucky. Who could have imagined that the poor boy from back then would suddenly transform into a billionaire! If only I had such good luck." The girl with the bun hairstyle sighed as they walked.
"Hehe, that's not good luck; that's because I have a discerning eye, okay? Isn't there a saying: 'How did you become a general's wife?' 'That's because I stayed by his side through thick and thin when he was just a soldier.'"
"Yes, yes, yes, look how proud you are. However, Yue Yue, don't blame me for being meddlesome, but there is a saying: 'Men turn bad once they have money.' You need to keep an eye on your man. Of course, I'm not saying your man has bad character, it's just that he was already handsome, and now that he has money, those shameless hussies will surely try to throw themselves at him."
Deng Yue paused upon hearing this, then immediately said, "Thanks, Fang Fang, I will keep that in mind."
"Hehe, we're best friends, aren't we? If you become a wealthy lady in the future, don't forget me when you're rich!"
"Hahaha, don't worry, I'll look after you in the future!"
When the two arrived at the office, everyone's eyes turned toward Deng Yue. There were no secrets in the company, and what had just happened had already spread everywhere.
Deng Yue didn't care about their envious gazes; she returned to her desk and prepared to work.
Just as she was about to open her computer to work, her phone vibrated. Deng Yue opened it to see that the department group was calling for a meeting.
Immediately, Deng Yue tidied up and went to the conference room.
The meeting was hosted by a vice president of the company. However, looking at the vice president's gloomy expression, it was likely not going to be a good meeting. Deng Yue didn't want to get on his bad side, so she quietly found a corner and sat down.
Once everyone had arrived, the meeting began.
The vice president started with a bombshell.
"Due to the market environment, the company's business has been shrinking over the past six months, and we have reached a state where our expenses exceed our income. Now, after discussion by the company's top management, the company will implement a competitive mechanism from now on, which is the so-called survival of the fittest system: the capable rise, and the mediocre fall."
"From now on, all departments must go out into the field to seek orders for the company. Each person is required to obtain one order per month. Of course, the business amount for this mandatory order must be between five thousand and ten thousand. If it exceeds ten thousand, the excess amount will be carried over to the next month as part of the target. If you secure a fifty-thousand-yuan order, congratulations, you are exempt from the mandatory order requirement for half a year. If it's over one hundred thousand, congratulations, you are exempt from the order requirement for a year, and so on! If you fail to meet the quota, sorry, but all your performance bonuses for the month will be deducted, and you will only receive the basic salary."
"No one needs to object; this is the company's decision. Alright, that's it, meeting adjourned!"
After hearing the vice president's announcement, all the employees in the conference room looked grim. In fact, there was another interpretation of this meeting: it was forcing employees to resign voluntarily.
After the meeting ended, Deng Yue and her colleagues returned to the office.
The girl with the bun hairstyle, named Fang Fang, came over again.
"Sister Yue, isn't the company obviously trying to force us to resign? Advertising business isn't easy to pull in nowadays. Look at the few salespeople in our company; who among them doesn't rely on connections to get business? Now this is great—we'll only get the basic salary of two thousand one hundred and twenty yuan. This amount of money isn't even as much as working as a server." Fang Fang grumbled to Deng Yue.
Deng Yue was also very melancholy. She hadn't expected that just after reuniting with her boyfriend, there would be changes at work.
...
Setting aside Deng Yue's situation for now.
After parting ways with Deng Yue, Qin Yang went to the pharmaceutical factory laboratory. A week had passed, and he didn't know how those test subjects were doing.
But just as he arrived at the pharmaceutical factory, Qin Yang discovered something unusual. There were quite a few people blocking the gate of the pharmaceutical factory, and some First-level Death Warriors were trying to stop them.
Qin Yang hurried forward to ask what was going on.
Speaking of this matter, it was still because of those few test subjects. Now, in the circles of patients with cancer and some rare diseases, everything had exploded because the effect of the god potion was simply too good.
Take Coffee, for example. Ever since the first injection, her condition had been getting better and better. Now, four courses of treatment had passed, and the pain in Coffee's body had significantly lessened. In various data tests, the cancer cells in her body had basically been suppressed and were no longer spreading. What kind of concept was this? It meant that even if the efficacy was only this much, Coffee's life could still be extended by using the god potion for suppression. Of course, the effect of the god potion went far beyond this. According to Doctor Jiang (Jiang Bo, a master-level Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner), while the lesions of these patients were being suppressed, they were also being devoured and annihilated by special factors in the medicine. In other words, the cancer cells were gradually decreasing, which proved that the god potion held great hope for curing them.
This news made these test subjects ecstatic. Who would want to die if they could live!
Coffee had no one to share this joy with, so she started livestreaming time and time again. Netizens weren't blind; while watching Coffee get better bit by bit, some patients also got ideas. Especially some wealthy patients who had fallen ill, they were crazily throwing money and gifts in the livestream rooms of Coffee and the others, just wanting Coffee to reveal the location of the drug trial. The richer people are, the more they cherish their lives. However, Coffee and the others firmly remembered Ma Jun's words that now was not the time to reveal the potion. Therefore, no matter how they tried to use money to pave the way, they still persuaded them not to be anxious and promised that they would definitely tell everyone the answer after the drug trial was finished.
But some people could wait, while others' illnesses could not. Therefore, these past few days, many patients began to show off their own unique methods, using some high-tech means to locate Coffee and the others, which created the current situation at the factory.
After understanding this, Qin Yang also felt a huge headache, but this matter still had to be resolved.
Therefore, Qin Yang walked to the front.
