Power and wealth bring fragrance

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three days have quietly passed.

Over the past three days, the entire city of Shenhai has been like a pressure cooker heated to its limit, driven to the brink of explosion by the news of that "weight loss drug".

The name Jiuhua Group swept through every corner of Shenhai City like a hurricane in just three days.

On the streets and in the alleys, during leisure time, everyone's conversations revolve around "Jiuhua Group" and "that miraculous weight loss drug".

"Have you heard? Jiuhua Group's weight loss drug is said to help you lose 30 pounds in one course of treatment, and it has absolutely no side effects!"

"Thirty pounds? Your information is so outdated! I heard someone tried it for a week and lost fifteen pounds, even their skin improved!"

"Really? Is there such a miraculous medicine in the world? It can't be a scam, can it?"

"What are you trying to fool? Who is Jiuhua Group? They're a legitimate, large company, and this drug is said to have passed all clinical trials, has all the necessary permits, and will be launched soon!"

"Released? When? I'll be the first to buy it! My wife has spent so much money trying to lose weight, she's tried everything, but she just can't lose weight. If this medicine is really that miraculous, I'll buy it no matter the price!"

"Forget about it. This kind of miracle drug will definitely be in high demand and short supply once it hits the market. Whether you can even get your hands on one is another question..."

Similar conversations were taking place throughout Deepsea City.

Whether it's white-collar workers in high-end office buildings, or aunties buying vegetables in the market, whether it's students in schools or business elites, everyone's eyes are focused on Jiuhua Group.

Amidst this atmosphere of great anticipation, everyone finally received the news they had been waiting for.

Jiuhua Group officially announced that it will hold a press conference at 3 pm today at the Genting Grand Hotel, the most luxurious hotel in Shenhai City, to announce detailed information about its weight loss drug and its launch plan.

The news caused an instant uproar throughout Shenhai City!

In an instant, everyone cheered. Major media outlets, powerful organizations, families, and companies sprang into action, vying to send representatives to the press conference, fearing that if they were even a step too late, they would miss this momentous event that could change the entire market landscape.

……

2:30 p.m.

Genting Grand Hotel, third-floor conference hall.

This conference hall is the largest and most luxurious in the entire Shenhai City, capable of accommodating over a thousand people.

At this moment, the conference hall, which can accommodate thousands of people, is already packed with people.

The TV station's live broadcast van was already parked at the hotel entrance, with several cameras set up in various corners of the conference hall, broadcasting the entire event live onto the empty podium in the center.

Reporters from various media outlets, microphones in hand and cameras on their shoulders, crowded the front rows and aisles of the conference hall, their faces beaming with excitement, their eyes fixed intently on the central podium, afraid of missing a single detail.

Besides the media, there were also many distinguished individuals in the conference hall.

Representatives from all the major powers, families, and companies in Shenhai City were present.

They sat upright, dressed impeccably, their faces bearing expressions of solemnity, anticipation, or calculation, their eyes fixed intently on the empty podium in the center.

That gaze was so intense it almost melted the empty central podium.

Everyone knows that today's press conference is not just a simple product launch, but a grand event concerning the distribution of countless interests.

Behind a seemingly miraculous weight-loss drug lies an enormous market and hundreds of billions of dollars in wealth.

Whoever can get a share of this feast will be able to secure a place in the future market landscape.

Therefore, no one dared to let their guard down.

In a corner of the conference hall, a beautiful woman in a sizzling red dress stood out.

She was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, tall and curvaceous. Her red, tight-fitting dress perfectly accentuated her figure, making her incredibly alluring with her prominent breasts and buttocks.

Her face was adorned with exquisite makeup, her features were bright and beautiful, and her slightly upturned peach blossom eyes exuded a natural charm and allure.

The moment she appeared, she attracted the attention of countless people around her. Many men couldn't help but linger on her, their eyes flashing with a hint of amazement and greed.

However, this stunningly beautiful woman seemed oblivious to the stares she was receiving.

She simply stared intently at the empty podium in the center, a slight smile playing on her lips, and a glint of intriguing light shimmering in her peach blossom eyes.

A young man was sitting four rows away from her.

The young man was around thirty years old, with a tall and straight figure. He wore a well-tailored white suit, exuding elegance and handsomeness, with a refined and otherworldly air, as if he had stepped out of an ancient painting.

It was Mu Chen.

He also looked at the central podium, his eyes calm, but beneath that calm surface lay a subtle undercurrent of emotion.

He searched for Wei Yuan for three whole days.

He searched everywhere, from Ronghua Hospital to Changfeng Building, and to every place Wei Yuan might appear, but he couldn't find a trace of Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan seemed to have vanished into thin air, disappearing without a trace.

This made Mu Chen even more puzzled and solemn.

How could a seriously injured person disappear without a trace in just three days?

Unless... his injuries have healed.

The moment this thought crossed Mu Chen's mind, he was even more shocked.

The meridians are damaged, and the internal organs are shaken. It will take at least half a month of rest to recover. This is the diagnosis given by the hospital.

However, if Wei Yuan recovered in just three days, it can only mean one thing.

Wei Yuan's strength was far greater than he had imagined, or rather, Wei Yuan possessed some unknown secret.

Just when he was at his wit's end, news broke that Jiuhua Group was holding a press conference.

Mu Chen arrived almost immediately.

He knew that since Wei Yuan had a close relationship with Jiuhua Group, Wei Yuan would most likely appear at today's press conference.

So, he came.

He wanted to see just who this guy really was.

Inside the conference hall, representatives from other major families and powerful groups in Deepsea City were also whispering and discussing amongst themselves.

"Mr. Wang, what exactly is this Jiuhua Group? I've never heard of it before."

"Who knows? But there must be something extraordinary behind the development of such a miraculous drug."

"I heard that behind Jiuhua Group, there's a really big shot, and that weight-loss drug was developed by that big shot."

"Oh? Is that so? Will that important person show up at today's press conference?"

"Who knows? But anyway, today's press conference is sure to be exciting..."

The crowd buzzed with discussion, creating a tense yet expectant atmosphere throughout the conference hall.

Just then.

"Squeak."

The side door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open from the inside.

In an instant, the noise in the entire conference hall came to an abrupt halt.

All eyes turned to the side door.

From the side door, a young man and a beautiful woman walked out side by side.

The young man was in his early twenties, with a tall and handsome figure, deep and unfathomable eyes, and an aura of composure and power emanating from him.

His pace was neither hurried nor slow, each step seemingly pressing on the hearts of everyone present, giving them an inexplicable sense of pressure.

Beside him stood a beautiful woman in a business suit, with a graceful figure, stunning looks, and a capable yet elegant demeanor—it was Liu Xiangrong.

Behind the two was a tall, stern-faced young man, Qin Xiao.

The moment the three appeared, the entire hall erupted in chaos!

"It's him! It's him! Is he the one who developed the weight-loss drug?"

"My God, is he the big shot behind the Jiuhua Group? He's so young?"

Countless cameras were pointed at Wei Yuan, flashes going off one after another, making it as bright as day.

However, Wei Yuan's face remained completely calm in the face of all this.

He simply smiled faintly and walked straight to the central podium with Liu Xiangrong.

Upon reaching the podium, Liu Xiangrong naturally stopped and took a step back, leaving the entire stage to Wei Yuan.

The gazes of everyone looking at Wei Yuan became even more intense and solemn.

Wei Yuan stood behind the podium, simply smiling faintly as his gaze calmly swept over the crowd below.

Wherever his gaze fell, those who had been whispering involuntarily fell silent.

The clamor gradually subsided.

A few seconds later, the entire conference hall fell into dead silence.

The conference hall, which could hold over a thousand people, was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed intently on Wei Yuan, waiting for him to speak.

They were ready for a passionate and informative speech, and ready to record every detail about this weight-loss drug.

However, just as everyone was eagerly anticipating what was to come, Wei Yuan simply smiled slightly and then spoke calmly.

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly to every corner of the conference hall.

"We previously announced the successful development of a weight-loss drug."

"Today, I am reiterating that our weight-loss drug is officially on the market and pre-sales have begun."

You can purchase directly from the official website. Thank you.

After saying that, Wei Yuan didn't say anything else. He turned around and walked towards the side door, preparing to end the press conference and leave.

The entire audience erupted in uproar!

"What? That's it?"

"Seriously? This is way too hasty! What about the price? The efficacy? The pre-sale rules? They haven't said anything at all!"

"Mr. Wei! Please wait a moment! I have a question to ask!"

"Mr. Wei, what is the price of this weight-loss drug? What is the production capacity? Are you interested in any cooperation?"

The reporters immediately erupted in a frenzy, raising their hands and vying to ask questions. Some even rushed forward, trying to stop Wei Yuan.

However, they were stopped by detectives maintaining order after only a few steps.

"Excuse me, please do not come near!"

Please maintain order!

The detectives stood expressionless in front of the reporters, creating a safe passage between them and Wei Yuan.

The representatives of those powerful families and influential groups were also stunned at this moment.

They exchanged a glance, a look of disbelief flashing in their eyes.

They never expected Wei Yuan to act so unpredictably.

He ended a highly anticipated press conference with just three sentences?

This is too... too capricious!

However, despite their shock, these shrewd and calculating representatives quickly came to their senses.

They knew that Wei Yuan must have had his reasons for doing this.

Or rather, he simply didn't care about the press conference, or the opinions of these media outlets and forces.

This confidence and composure made everyone even more wary of Wei Yuan.

While the entire audience was in an uproar and no one had yet reacted, two people reacted extremely quickly.

The beautiful woman in the fiery red dress and Mu Chen, who was sitting four rows away, stood up from their seats almost at the same moment Wei Yuan turned around. They then seized the opportunity and left the lobby, rushing towards the elevator.

They all knew that once Wei Yuan left, it would be difficult to find him again.

Therefore, they must stop Wei Yuan before he leaves!

The two moved with incredible speed, like two bolts of lightning, rushing out of the conference hall one after the other and sprinting toward the elevator.

The hot beauty was slightly faster.

She walked briskly in her high heels, her fiery red dress drawing an alluring arc as she ran, attracting the attention of countless people in the corridor.

But she ignored all that and just kept rushing towards the elevator.

Finally, just as the elevator doors were about to close, she rushed forward and blocked them with her hand.

"bite."

The elevator doors reopened.

The stunningly beautiful woman looked up at Wei Yuan in the elevator, a charming smile playing on her lips, and then she spoke with a smile.

"Mr. Wei, could we speak in private for a moment?"

Her voice was soft, sweet, and charming, with a natural allure that was incredibly pleasant to listen to.

However, before she could finish speaking, a cold voice rang out from behind her.

"I'm sorry, he doesn't have time."

The hot beauty frowned slightly.

She slowly turned around and looked behind her.

Mu Chen had appeared not far behind her, looking at her calmly.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

In an instant, it was as if two invisible bolts of lightning collided in the air, almost sparking.

The atmosphere instantly became tense and hostile.

Standing in the elevator, Wei Yuan looked at the scene before him, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The hook was straight and the bait was salty, and surprisingly, some fish actually took the bait.
