I'm invincible once I descend the mountain; the beautiful CEO is forcing me to get our marriage

The entire venue was deathly silent.

Wang Ming, who was pushed away, was completely dumbfounded.

Jiang Ya stood there, stunned, her mind blank.

Fang Hongda, a prominent figure in the business world of Jiangnan Province, actually performed such a grand salute to this young man?

Ye An looked at the white-haired old man in front of him, his expression unchanged, and simply nodded.

"I didn't expect you to be the business partner that came to the Su family."

Upon hearing that Ye An still remembered him, Fang Hongda's face crinkled into an even wider smile, his back bent lower, and his voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement: "This proves that we are destined to meet! Master Ye!"

He straightened up and asked cautiously, "What are you doing here?"

Ye An glanced at the large characters "Su's Pharmaceutical" not far away and said directly, "The president of this company is my woman."

A simple sentence, yet it exploded like a thunderclap in everyone's heart.

My woman.

These four words carry an undeniable air of dominance.

The way the surrounding employees, especially the female employees, looked at Ye An instantly changed.

The fear I felt earlier transformed into a radiance mixed with curiosity and reverence.

Wang Ming's face drained of all color in an instant.

It’s over.

Only those two words remained in his mind.

He offended not only a powerful figure whom Fang Hongda had to bow to, but also the man who was his own boss.

Jiang Ya was deeply shocked.

She finally understood.

Why can't I find out anything about Ye An's background even though I used my family connections?

Why did Su Wanqing keep him hidden at home and never bring him to parties?

It's not because it's unpresentable.

On the contrary, this man is on a much higher level, so high that he is beyond the comprehension of their circle!

Moreover, it is obvious that Jiang Ya has no authority to investigate Ye An given her background and methods!

The thought of how she had just condescendingly "persuaded" Ye An to apologize made Jiang Ya's cheeks burn with pain.

Upon hearing Ye An's words, Fang Hongda immediately understood and turned his gaze to the beautiful woman beside him, whose temperament and appearance were both top-notch.

"So this is President Su, my apologies for not recognizing her earlier. Truly, a beauty and a hero are a perfect match; Master Ye is very fortunate!"

Jiang Ya was in shock and instinctively tried to explain upon hearing this.

Before she could even speak, Ye An uttered three words decisively.

"Irrelevant."

Jiang Ya's prepared words suddenly got stuck in her throat.

She froze, her face burning even more.

Irrelevant?

She was, after all, a "Jiangcheng Goddess" who was on par with Su Wanqing. Even if she was mistaken for someone else, she shouldn't be denied so quickly, right?

Is my charm really that much less than Su Wanqing's?

He wasn't even given the right to take a second look or hesitate even slightly?

A feeling of inexplicable grievance and bitterness welled up in Jiang Ya's heart.

At this moment, Wang Ming was no longer simply afraid, but desperate.

If Ye An were merely a friend of President Su, he might still be able to rely on his importance in the project to find a glimmer of hope.

Fang Hongda's attitude shattered all his illusions.

Wang Ming was a figure in Su's Pharmaceutical Company, but in front of a big shot like Fang Hongda, he was nothing more than dust.

Having offended both Su Wanqing's man and Fang Hongda's distinguished guest, he'll likely find himself with nowhere to hide in Su's Pharmaceuticals.

Just then, the elevator doors opened again.

Su Wanqing walked out quickly in her high heels.

When she saw Fang Hongda, a professional smile appeared on her face. She was about to go forward to greet him when she caught sight of Ye An in the center of the crowd, as well as Jiang Ya with a complicated expression and Wang Ming with a deathly pale face beside him.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately realized something was wrong.

"Mr. Fang, welcome! Was your journey smooth?" Su Wanqing quickly stepped forward and greeted Fang Hongda first.

Jiang Ya then realized that the reason she couldn't get through to Su Wanqing earlier was because she was contacting Fang Hongda's people.

Upon seeing Su Wanqing, Fang Hongda's attitude became even more enthusiastic: "Successfully, successfully! President Su, I must apologize to you."

"After reading the information, I had some doubts about the new drug's effectiveness, thinking the data was a bit exaggerated. Thank goodness you insisted I come and see for myself; now it seems I was blind to its true value!"

His words stunned all the R&D staff around him.

What?

Is the new drug not viewed favorably?

How could this be? They witnessed the drug's effects firsthand; it was truly a groundbreaking achievement!

Wang Ming felt as if his heart had been squeezed tightly.

It turns out that what he considered a deity-worthy achievement was actually not viewed favorably by the real capitalists.

Fang Hongda chuckled and continued, "But now, I have no more doubts! Since President Su is Master Ye's... cough, since you and Master Ye have this kind of relationship, then I will definitely spare no effort to cooperate deeply with your company! Not just in Jiangnan Province, but the entire national market, I will help you open it up!"

The surrounding employees were initially shocked, but then burst into great joy.

Many people breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes filled with gratitude as they looked at Ye An.

So that's how it was all thanks to him!

If it weren't for him, this priceless project might have failed before it even started!

Hearing this, Wang Ming felt dizzy and disoriented.

The hard work you are so proud of is worthless in the eyes of others.

The man who facilitated this astronomical deal was none other than the one who had slapped himself.

He felt like a clown, a complete joke.

His legs buckled, and he almost couldn't stand up.

After listening to Fang Hongda's words and observing the atmosphere, Su Wanqing had already guessed most of what was going on.

She ignored everyone else, walked a few steps to Ye An, and naturally took his arm.

She pressed herself against him, saying in a teasing, almost pleading tone, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have left you alone in the car. If I had gone up with you, none of this would have happened, and you wouldn't have had to suffer like this."

She was already incredibly beautiful, but now, with this girlish demeanor, she made the men around her stare in disbelief.

As Ye An smelled the familiar fragrance emanating from her and felt the soft touch on his arm, the slight displeasure in his heart vanished completely.

What could he do? He was helpless too.

Fang Hongda watched from the side, revealing a knowing smile that comes from someone who's been there.

Looking at the two so close, Jiang Ya felt a mix of emotions: envy, disappointment, and a hint of jealousy that she herself was unwilling to admit.

Only Wang Ming felt like he was going crazy.

What's wrong with this world?

On what grounds?

Why is it that this unremarkable country bumpkin can win the favor of a woman as favored as Su Wanqing?

This is a woman he can only look up to!

He couldn't understand it, he wanted to bang his head against the wall!

Suppressing his inner turmoil, Wang Ming mustered his last ounce of strength and struggled towards Su Wanqing, his voice trembling with tears: "President Su...President Su, about my matter..."

Su Wanqing's charming expression vanished instantly, replaced by the aloofness of a female CEO.

She didn't even look at Wang Ming, but only at Ye An, and asked softly, "Did he offend you?"

Before Ye An could speak, a quick-witted employee next to him recounted what had just happened, embellishing the story.

Upon hearing this, Su Wanqing's face turned completely cold.

She turned to look at Wang Ming and said, word by word, "Ye An's meaning is my meaning. Wang Ming, go to the personnel department and hand over your work. You don't need to come in anymore."

This statement effectively sealed Wang Ming's fate.

Everyone understood that Ye An's earlier statement, "I'll fire you," was not just an angry outburst.

He's serious, and he really has that authority!

Wang Ming panicked completely. He knelt down with a thud and crawled two steps towards Ye An: "Mr. Ye! Master Ye! I was wrong! I was blind to your greatness! Please, have mercy and give me another chance!"

Ye An frowned, as if he had just noticed that there was still a person on the ground.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

A simple sentence can be more hurtful than any insult.

Wang Ming felt his last shred of dignity had been shattered. He abruptly stood up and roared hysterically:

"This isn't fair! I won't accept this! I'm the head of the new drug development department! I know the most about new drugs! You can't just fire me like this!"

His last resort was his technical expertise.

However, Su Wanqing's next words plunged him into despair.

"Oh, it seems... everyone has misunderstood something."

Su Wanqing looked around the room, especially at the R&D department employees, her voice carrying clearly throughout the parking lot.

"The original formula for this new drug was given to me by Ye An. If you were to ask who in this world understands this drug best, that person could only be him."

The entire scene fell into a deathly silence once again.

Everyone looked at Ye An with an indescribable expression.

What he said... was all true!

A glint flashed in Fang Hongda's eyes, and his level of attention to this new drug rose to a whole new level.

Jiang Ya finally understood everything. She looked at Ye An with a complicated expression in her eyes.

It turns out that he not only had a powerful background, but also such amazing talent.

I was completely wrong from the very beginning.

Upon hearing these words, Wang Ming felt as if the last bit of strength had been drained from his body.

His taut nerves snapped completely, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed limply to the ground.

Su Wanqing didn't look at him again, took Ye An's arm, and said to Jiang Ya and Fang Hongda, "Let's go upstairs to talk, don't let these things affect your mood."

The group headed towards the elevator.

The surrounding employees tactfully dispersed and returned to their work stations.

When several R&D employees passed by the collapsed Wang Ming, they merely glanced at him indifferently, their faces devoid of any sympathy.

Compared to a manager who is arrogant and prone to causing trouble, they are more concerned about how much bonus they can get after the project is successful.

Soon, the empty parking lot was left with only the eye-catching red Dawn and Wang Ming lying on the cold ground, in a state of collapse.

……

The elevator was quiet.

Su Wanqing still held Ye An's arm, leaning almost entirely on him, a satisfied smile on her face.

Fang Hongda stood to the side, his head slightly bowed, adopting a very humble posture.

His bodyguards stood ramrod straight, even deliberately holding their breath.

Jiang Ya was the only one standing in the corner, feeling out of place in this space.

She looked at Ye An's profile; this man she had always looked down on had now become the center of attention.

Su Wanqing leaned against him like a little bird, while Fang Hongda, such a big shot, was very respectful in front of him.

Looking back now, my self-righteous advice and condescending questions seem like a series of jokes.

Especially Ye An's words "It's irrelevant," which felt like a thin needle pricking her heart. It didn't hurt, but it was very awkward.

When has Jiang Ya ever been ignored like this?

The elevator doors opened, and Su Wanqing's secretary was already waiting at the door, respectfully leading the group to the president's private conference room on the top floor.

The conference room is decorated in a simple yet grand style, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of the city skyline of Jiangcheng.

After everyone took their seats, Ye An and Su Wanqing sat together naturally, Fang Hongda sat opposite them, and Jiang Ya hesitated for a moment before sitting down a little further away.

The secretary quickly brought tea and, as instructed by Su Wanqing, brought a sealed medicine box.

"Mr. Fang, this is a sample of our new drug." Su Wanqing pushed the medicine box in front of Fang Hongda.

Fang Hongda didn't touch the medicine box, but nodded to the tallest bodyguard in black behind him.

The bodyguard stepped forward, and Fang Hongda introduced him: "This is my brother who has been with me for many years, named Ali. He's a martial arts practitioner with minor external strength. He fought alongside me in his early years and has many old injuries..."

Su Wanqing understood, opened the medicine box, took out a dark brown pill, and handed it over.

Ali took the pill, glanced at Fang Hongda, and after receiving a signal, swallowed it directly.

The meeting room fell silent again, and everyone's eyes were focused on Ali.

Ali closed his eyes and stood quietly.

One minute, two minutes...

His expression remained unchanged, as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Ya's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the medicine... wasn't working?

Just then, Ali suddenly opened his eyes.

He moved his right shoulder with some disbelief, a movement so large that it seemed impossible for someone with a pre-existing joint injury to do it.

"Boss...boss..."

Ali's voice trembled slightly, filled with immense joy, "My shoulder doesn't hurt anymore! That sore and numb feeling is gone too!"

As he spoke, he threw another punch, the wind whistling through the air, full of power.

"Furthermore, I feel... the energy within my body seems... seems to have become a little more solid!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Hongda's eyes lit up.

It's already amazing that it can heal old injuries, but it can even enhance the strength of ancient martial artists?

He nodded, waved for Ali to leave, and then looked at Su Wanqing with undisguised satisfaction on his face: "President Su, it seems that the information you gave me was not only not exaggerated, but actually quite conservative."

His gaze shifted and landed on Ye An, his attitude becoming even more respectful.

"I heard that this new drug was modified from the prescription you wrote, Master Ye, for mass production?"

Ye An nodded: "Mm."

Fang Hongda's breathing became heavier: "So, Master Ye, your original prescription is even more effective?"

"That's true, it will be much better," Ye An said.

Fang Hongda nodded slowly; he finally understood the value of the medicine.

"President Su, the efficacy of this medicine is so extraordinary that it is destined not to follow the route of ordinary medicines."

"The price must not be low." Fang Hongda held up one finger. "A high price is itself a filter, excluding 99% of ordinary people. Its customer base can only be two types of people."

He paused, then continued, "First, there are the wealthy and powerful who are willing to spend a fortune to buy health and life. Second, there are ancient martial arts practitioners like Ali, whose biggest problems are old injuries and bottlenecks, and who are willing to pay any price for them."

Su Wanqing listened attentively; she had considered these things as well.

Fang Hongda continued, "Therefore, the market in Jiangcheng is too small. To obtain the greatest benefits, we must move upmarket and open up the market in the provincial capital."

Su Wanqing nodded: "That's exactly why I came to you, Elder Fang. The Su family has some influence in Jiangcheng, but in the provincial capital, we have little say. To make a breakthrough, we need to rely on your channels and connections."

"I have the channels and the connections," Fang Hongda said, his expression turning serious. "But that's also where the problem lies."

"President Su, if you were selling ordinary health supplements, no matter how effective they were, with Fang Hongda backing you up, you could do whatever you wanted in the provincial capital. But your medicine is different; its effects... are simply amazing."

Ye An looked at him and felt that the old man was speaking in a roundabout way, so he said directly, "Old Fang, you might as well just say what you want to say."

Fang Hongda glanced at Ye An and gave a wry smile: "Master Ye is a straightforward person, so I won't beat around the bush."

"In the provincial capital, the pharmaceutical industry, especially the high-end and specialty medicinal materials market, is not under the control of Fang Hongda, but is firmly controlled by a certain force. Even businessmen like us have to give them some face."

"Once this drug enters the provincial capital market, it will inevitably affect their core interests. At that point, we'll be in big trouble."

Su Wanqing frowned: "What kind of power?"

Fang Hongda uttered three words, his voice somewhat deep.

"Medicine King Valley".

"Medicine King Valley?" Ye An raised an eyebrow slightly.
