"Beauty ointment?"
After hearing Lin Xuan's revelation, Su Shengtian couldn't help but widen his eyes.
He didn't expect the Lin family to have such an opportunity.
If the ointment really catches the public's attention, it could indeed elevate the Lin family to the next level.
"In that case, Xiao Xuan, why would you still sell your shares? If the news is true..."
"Once the ointment created by the Lin family hits the market, the value of your shares will surely skyrocket."
"....."
Su Shengtian's eyes flashed with doubt.
He knew that with Lin Xuan's intelligence, he wouldn't do something short-sighted.
And since he had done it, there must be a reason behind it.
"That ointment has significant side effects!"
"In the short term, it can make people glow, and after application, the skin becomes smooth and rosy."
"But the effect lasts less than a week, and then the skin starts to rot and fester...."
In the original plot.
When the Lin family first launched their self-developed beauty ointment, it was quickly snapped up by the masses in the short term.
But less than a week later.
The first woman to apply the ointment began to itch, and her face started to rot.
At first, Lin Jianjun didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a personal sensitivity issue.
But when more and more people who used the ointment began having issues...
Only then did Lin Jianjun panic.
Unfortunately, it was too late to turn things around.
In less than a day, the Lin family company faced nationwide boycotts and was even summoned by the authorities.
It was at this point...
Su Yang, the protagonist, with his powerful medical skills, certainly stepped forward without hesitation.
He handed the improved perfect formula to Su Shengtian, and the Su family welcomed a new spring...
"Ah... I see! No wonder you, Xiao Xuan, wanted to sell your shares quickly."
"Otherwise, as the major shareholder of the Lin family, you would be the one most likely to be implicated..."
Su Shengtian suddenly understood, greatly admiring Lin Xuan's decisiveness.
Though he was curious about Lin Xuan's source of information.
But everyone has their own secrets, and Su Shengtian naturally wouldn't ask more.
In any case, he unconditionally trusted this son-in-law, and that was enough...
"By the way! Grandpa Su, this is the formula for you."
Lin Xuan took out a piece of white paper from his chest and handed it to Su Shengtian.
"What's this?"
Su Shengtian took the paper in surprise, looking at it from left to right, only to see it covered in various formulas and ingredients.
"This is the formula for creating the [Beauty Pill]. As the name suggests!"
"It can beautify and rejuvenate the skin, and its effect is even better than the beauty ointment the Lin family currently has."
"And it has no side effects because it nourishes the body from the inside out..."
"I hope, Grandpa Su, that you can take this formula to the company's research department, and once they successfully produce a sample, mass produce and store it."
"Once the Lin family's ointment has issues, we can use the Beauty Pill's healing properties for skin ulcers to quickly enter the market..."
Lin Xuan didn't hide anything.
He directly explained the effects of the formula he had exchanged from the system.
What?!
So amazing!!!
Su Shengtian's hands trembled.
In an instant, he felt that the piece of paper in his hand was priceless and weighed heavily.
If it were someone else saying this, Su Shengtian would have just considered them bragging.
But this was his son-in-law, whom he trusted unconditionally.
And he believed that the effects of this formula were certainly as miraculous as Lin Xuan said.
"This is too valuable! Xiao Xuan, this pill is so magical, it could create a whole new business empire from scratch!"
"I'm not interested in any business empire. I just want to stay by Qingge's side day and night. So, this formula is wasted in my hands. Consider it a dowry for Qingge!"
Dowry again?
The 3 billion dowry is already shocking enough.
And this formula is priceless, the wealth it can generate is unimaginable.
Lin Xuan actually gave it away like this?!
He opened his mouth.
Su Shengtian ultimately didn't voice his refusal.
The Su family business indeed needs this formula to revive itself.
After all, the Su family will sooner or later be left to Lin Xuan and his wife.
If he refused further, it would seem too distant.
"Well... alright! I'll shamelessly accept it."
"I'll go tell the research department and try to get the samples ready as soon as possible..."
Su Shengtian nodded with a smile, carefully placing the formula into his chest.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Lin Xuan, he left the room under his escort...
Creak!
Listening to the sound of Su Shengtian's footsteps leaving.
In the dark consciousness space.
Su Qingge's emotions were very low. She was both heartbroken for her exhausted grandfather and resentful of her own helplessness.
'Has Grandpa left?'
'It seems the company has encountered many troubles recently. Grandpa must be under so much stress.'
'He's so old, yet he still has to exert so much effort every day.'
'I can't help at all and have become a burden, making Grandpa worry day and night.'
'If only I could wake up...'
'If I could share some of Grandpa's burden instead of lying here like a useless thing...'
'I really am useless!'
…..
At that moment!
Su Qingge felt a familiar warmth in her palm.
It was...
The warmth of Lin Xuan's palm.
"It's okay! Qingge, don't worry. With me here, everything will keep getting better!"
"Everything you want to protect, whether it's Grandpa or the Su family..."
"Before you wake up, I will protect it all for you! I promise!"
It was as if Lin Xuan knew what Su Qingge was worried about, and he made his promise.
These deep and firm words entered Su Qingge's ears, making her heart tremble.
While feeling touched, she was also enveloped by a strong sense of security.
This was something the old Su Qingge could never have experienced...
Before she became a vegetable, she was a well-known female CEO in Magic City.
No matter what problem she faced, her instinct was always to solve it on her own.
Because she had once been betrayed.
So, Su Qingge only trusted herself rather than relying on others, believing that human nature was selfish.
With this belief, she gritted her teeth and overcame many challenges alone.
To avoid being looked down upon because of her age.
Every time she went out, she would try to look more mature, putting on a cold, unapproachable face and staying alone.
'But it's so tiring...'
'Sometimes I just want to be like a normal girl, lazily hiding at home and watching shows.'
'Free, doing whatever I want without constraints.'
'Eating fried chicken, wearing beautiful dresses, going shopping with friends, and going out every day with a smile...'
'But I can't... My identity, my blood-stained enemies, all remind me I can't live like that.'
'But now I'm a vegetable, surely a little rest won't hurt...'
'It's okay to rely on others a little, right...'
…..
In the dark prison of her mind, Su Qingge mumbled to herself, her consciousness slowly slipping away uncontrollably.
Snap!
It seemed like a taut string snapped, and Su Qingge finally relaxed completely...
She fell asleep...
Before this.
Her body had been in a deep slumber.
But her spirit had remained in a state of extreme repression and pain, her consciousness always awake, groggy...
She was scared, terrified that if her consciousness faded...
Maybe she would fall asleep completely and become a living corpse without consciousness...
But now, she suddenly relaxed, and for the first time felt that she could rest without any worries.
Because that man had said...
"Before you wake up, I will protect everything you hold dear..."
He's so amazing, he must be able to do it.
I'm so tired!
So...
So even if it's just for a little while, let me sleep well...
Good night.
See you tomorrow.
