CHAPTER 24: CHAPTER 0024 THE BEAUTY GETS DRUNK_1

The square outside Quadrangle Pharmacy was bustling, a sea of bobbing heads and people brushing shoulders.

There was no telling how many people had come to see the spectacle.

After all, the hype was immense—curing nearsightedness, farsightedness, and presbyopia in just half an hour. Not even an Immortal Elixir could boast such miraculous effects.

To their surprise, the treatments weren’t free. Each session cost 4,000 yuan, which involved just a single drop of Bright Eye Liquid in each eye.

Liu Ruolan had already conducted experiments and confirmed that a single drop of Bright Eye Liquid was enough to completely heal an eye.

Today, however, the Bright Eye Liquid wasn’t in mineral water bottles. Instead, they used a special dispenser that could release the liquid one drop at a time.

Zhang Bin’s job was simple: just administering drops of Bright Eye Liquid into patients’ eyes.

The trial was kicked off by a group of wealthy heirs, as they were already aware of Bright Eye Liquid’s miraculous properties.

When they were fully healed after just half an hour, they were ecstatic. Naturally, the onlookers who had come just to watch the spectacle became interested in the treatment themselves.

The more people were cured, the more believers there were.

As a result, a swarm of people flocked over, keeping Zhang Bin so busy he was practically running off his feet. In just three hours, all the Bright Eye Liquid had been used up.

"Friends, I’m sorry, but the Bright Eye Liquid has run out. We’ll resume treatments at Quadrangle Pharmacy in a couple of days," Liu Ruolan announced apologetically into the microphone.

The crowd then reluctantly dispersed.

However, the reporters remained. They began interviewing Liu Ruolan, Zhang Bin, and the many cured patients.

This was, of course, a good thing, as it would generate significant publicity for Bright Eye Liquid.

After finally managing to escape the persistent journalists, Zhang Bin ducked into the Quadrangle Pharmacy meeting room, still feeling rattled.

After a while, Liu Ruolan walked in with a beaming smile. "Do you know how much we made today?"

"Probably around 500,000, I guess," Zhang Bin estimated.

"Wrong. It’s 600,000," Liu Ruolan said.

"Six hundred thousand? So I can make hundreds of thousands in just three days... This Bright Eye Liquid is a veritable money-printing machine!" Zhang Bin’s face lit up with elation.

"I don’t care how much you make. You must increase production immediately. I have no interest in this kind of small-scale operation," Liu Ruolan said, shooting Zhang Bin a harsh glare.

"Increase production? That’s going to be very difficult," Zhang Bin said, a troubled expression on his face.

"That’s not an option. You have to solve this problem. Otherwise, I’m moving into your house," Liu Ruolan declared.

Move in with me? I’d actually look forward to that, but Xiao Fang would definitely get the wrong idea. It seems I have no choice but to figure out a way to explore the other side of the Abyss. The Little Fox came from there, so it should be relatively safe.

With that in mind, he said hesitantly, "I’ll think of something. I’ll let you know in a few days by how much I can increase production."

Liu Ruolan’s smile bloomed, and she gestured for the beautiful secretary waiting outside to come in.

"Her name is Wen Shanshan. She’s the secretary I’ve hired for you," Liu Ruolan began to introduce. Wen Shanshan was the same shrewd and capable beauty who had been on the platform promoting Bright Eye Liquid earlier. She was also quite attractive.

"What? A secretary for me? Why do I need a secretary?" Zhang Bin jumped up.

"Sit down and listen to me," Liu Ruolan said with a playful chiding. "Since your master can develop something as miraculous as Bright Eye Liquid, he can surely develop other amazing drugs. That’s why I think we should form a new pharmaceutical company. You’ll be the chairman, and I’ll be the general manager. That’s how we’ll grow the company. And as chairman, you’ll naturally need a secretary. Wen Shanshan is very experienced and can help us establish the company. You can just be the hands-off owner..."

"Boss, here are some of the documents for establishing the company, along with the contract. Please take a close look," Wen Shanshan said charmingly.

They’re really railroading me into this. Zhang Bin thought. Still, he wasn’t worried. After all, he was a formidable person with a photographic memory and a miraculous alien phone that could monitor anyone.

He mulled it over for a moment before speaking. "Establishing a pharmaceutical company is definitely necessary, because I will be developing many new medicines in the future. For example, products for beauty and weight loss, cures for the common cold, and even miracle drugs for some hard-to-treat illnesses. However, it will be difficult to mass-produce these drugs. So, I suggest we open our own hospital to administer these treatments ourselves. That way, we can maximize our profits. In the future, our hospital can become the most famous and skilled in the world, capable of curing most terminal diseases."

Liu Ruolan and Wen Shanshan stared at Zhang Bin as if he were some kind of monster, their faces etched with astonishment. Is this really just a simple farmer?

It took them a long moment to recover from their shock.

Liu Ruolan was the first to regain her composure and challenge him. "Setting up a hospital isn’t that simple," she said seriously. "There’s a lot to consider: location, doctors, connections... So I’ll ask you again: can you really develop multiple drugs that can cure terminal illnesses?"

"Of course. However, just developing the drugs isn’t enough," Zhang Bin said with a smile. "I must first complete my apprenticeship and become a Divine Doctor. So, my proposal is to establish the pharmaceutical company first, then found the hospital."

"As for the hospital, let’s wait until you’ve developed a few—or even just one—drug that can cure a terminal illness," Liu Ruolan said. "But I’ll start making preparations in the meantime."

She then asked with a grin, "So, how are we splitting the shares?"

"Didn’t we already agree? After deducting production costs, you get twenty percent of the sales profit, and I get eighty," Zhang Bin replied with a smile.

"But starting a company requires capital. Do you have that kind of money?" Liu Ruolan countered with a playful laugh.

"Why are you two getting so formal? You’re practically family," Wen Shanshan teased.

"Shan Shan, don’t joke around," Liu Ruolan chided. "Xiao Bin has a girlfriend."

Zhang Bin’s face reddened slightly. He quickly changed the subject. "The pharmaceutical company won’t be short on funds. Selling Bright Eye Liquid for a while will be more than enough. As for funding the hospital, we can contribute based on our shares. We can discuss that after the company is up and running."

After some more detailed discussion, Liu Ruolan agreed to Zhang Bin’s proposal, and they ironed out some of the details.

And so, they signed the cooperation agreements.

Next, Liu Ruolan and Wen Shanshan would start registering the company and looking for office space.

As for Zhang Bin, he would naturally be responsible for developing new medicines.

Zhang Bin felt a bit emotional. His own company was starting just like that. Liu Ruolan was definitely a shrewd powerhouse of a woman and an excellent partner.

He was confident the company would grow and expand rapidly.

So, the three of them went to a luxurious hotel for a celebratory feast.

Liu Ruolan got a bit tipsy, and Wen Shanshan was also feeling light-headed.

Naturally, neither of them could drive.

Consequently, Zhang Bin supported the stunningly beautiful Liu Ruolan and escorted her back to her villa.

Wen Shanshan even leaned in and whispered into Zhang Bin’s ear with a playful laugh, "Boss, make the most of this opportunity!"
