Smith’s face contorted with ferocity.
Solutions were born from human ingenuity.
If you won’t give me a way out, then don’t blame me, Smith, for being ruthless!
“Pre… President…”
Li Ming could see that Smith was like a live volcano at this moment, ready to erupt at any moment.
Therefore, he spoke with utmost caution.
Hoo hoo.
Smith took a few deep breaths and gritted his teeth.
“Let’s go, we’ll talk when we get back!”
…
On the other side, Zhang Han once again sat in Ye Yun’s car.
Although there was almost no communication between them, just like before.
But Zhang Han felt extremely awkward at this moment.
After all, having someone try to poach him, only to be caught red-handed by his boss, was quite embarrassing.
No matter how straightforward Zhang Han was, he knew this situation was mortifying.
“Still thinking about that?” Ye Yun suddenly said.
“Huh? Yeah!” Zhang Han blinked, then nodded.
“What’s there to be embarrassed about? If no one tried to poach you, I’d find it strange. Think about it, I had no reputation in the industry before! But you? You’re the well-known head of both R&D and Sales at Pfizer Group. With the appearance of the miraculous Licorice Medicine, do they think you developed it or I did?” Ye Yun said with a smile.
One with no fame, the other renowned.
Even a fool would know it must be Zhang Han who developed it.
In other words, if they could poach Zhang Han, they were certain to get the recipe for Licorice Medicine!
“Ah! Mr. Ye, wouldn’t that mean I’m stealing your credit? The Licorice Medicine was clearly your brainchild! No! I have to tell everyone the truth tomorrow!” Zhang Han exclaimed in shock.
Licorice Medicine was destined to be recorded in history.
And its inventor would undoubtedly leave a significant mark in medical history.
Zhang Han absolutely couldn't snatch such credit!
“No need.” Ye Yun smiled and waved his hand, “Whose name is associated with it doesn’t matter; what’s important is that we achieve our goal. Everyone has a disease to treat, and everyone has medicine to take! Let everyone be free from the torment of illness. That is the ultimate goal!”
Ye Yun didn’t care about fleeting fame.
“Yes! Achieve the goal!” Zhang Han felt a surge of passion, his whole body brimming with energy, and the earlier embarrassment vanished completely.
“Alright, to achieve our goal, we must not falter. So, you need to balance work and rest. Go out and have some fun when you should!” Ye Yun said with a chuckle.
After dropping Zhang Han back at the dormitory, Ye Yun retrieved his keys from the office and rushed home.
A reunion after a short separation felt like newlyweds. He didn’t want his wife to be left alone, becoming a lonely and resentful woman!
…
The next day.
Just as Ye Yun had predicted.
Regarding Wang Wenwen’s live-streamed sales of the dog-skin plaster!
Those media colleagues immediately seized upon this hot topic.
Upon hearing the news, many media websites prepared articles and drafts, rushing to capitalize on the buzz.
However, such actions were undeniably detrimental to Wang Wenwen herself.
Because through the overwhelming publicity, she was becoming no different from Pan Gazu.
Indeed, early in the morning, major media websites began releasing their news reports.
Topping the list, naturally, was the uC Shocking Department.
uC: Shocking, a well-known superstar is treating everyone like an idiot…
Following closely were other major media outlets.
Tencent: Is this the annihilation of humanity or the dissipation of morality? A-list superstar Wang Wenwen has transformed into a traveling quack, deceiving people with false claims of curing all ailments during her live stream!
Phoenix: E-commerce is not a lawless land! The sugar water bird's nest incident must not be repeated! E-commerce requires order!
Douyin: Wang Wenwen’s first live-streamed sales. Cures all diseases, strengthens the body, and reverses aging. Is it true or false?
360: I considered Wenwen as family, but Wenwen considers me a turtle!
…
As news after news, with their sensational headlines, emerged, countless netizens were agitated by this hot topic.
Initially, they thought that celebrities doing live-streamed sales were simply attracted by the astronomical figures earned by those streamers.
But upon hearing that Wang Wenwen’s sales reached over fifty million in a single stream.
Public opinion exploded!
“Holy crap! Are these online e-commerce platforms now completely shameless? Buying Licorice Medicine for 800 yuan, and it works instantly, taking effect on the spot? Are they treating people like idiots? Are these the words a carbon-based life form would come up with?”
“6666! People still fall for this kind of intelligence tax? I saw nearly seventy thousand people place orders in the live stream. Are these people rushing to be harvested like leeks? Even a fool would know that if it truly had such effects, could it be bought for 800 yuan?”
“Wang Wenwen, you’re an A-list superstar, and it’s fine for you to be a sales streamer. But now you’re selling something that even a child knows is fake? Pan Gazu at least knew to sell his fake wine for 39.9 yuan, and you’re selling it for 800!”
“I used to think Wang Wenwen had an ethereal aura, remaining untainted by the mud in the entertainment industry. I didn’t expect her to have no shame now, resorting to such ruthless profiteering. My fan status has turned into hate!”
“Licorice Medicine for 800 yuan, guaranteed to cure all illnesses, strengthen the body, and even offer double compensation if ineffective. No more words needed, I, Wang Duoyu, will buy this financial product!” Da Feng Novel Network
“I just checked the official website of Licorice Medicine. The retail price is 1000 yuan, but 800 yuan in the live stream. Anyway, I bought it, and I’ve already written the compensation claim. I’ll sue this woman Wang Wenwen later! By the way, fellow anti-fraud brothers, remember the Sales Law’s provision of tenfold compensation for fakes! A single piece of paper can claim 8000 yuan, charge!”
The internet, inherently a place for free expression.
Even those netizens who could view the matter rationally had to chime in with criticism after understanding the full story.
Defend?
How could it be defended?
Would anyone truly believe in such a miraculous medicine?
This was not Licorice Medicine, it was an elixir!
Even without paid trolls stirring up trouble, the narrative was already spiraling out of control.
After all, an elixir for 800 yuan, claiming to cure all diseases, strengthen the body, and even unbelievably reverse aging.
It was as outlandish as it could get!
Consequently, Wang Wenwen’s formerly angelic image began to rapidly crumble.
Some netizens even specially composed a poem for the occasion.
First came Wang Wenwen, then came Licorice Medicine. I considered Wenwen a fairy, but Wenwen considered me a turtle!
However, one thing was certain: as the topic of Licorice Medicine gained traction.
Orders on the official website of Licorice Medicine surged!
Of course, these orders likely included many professional investigators seeking to claim tenfold compensation under the Sales Law…
Simultaneously, the official website of Licorice Medicine was flooded with insults.
“Stupid manufacturer, do you know you’ve become famous?”
“After taking your Licorice Medicine, will I be able to ascend to immortality on the spot?”
“Strengthen the body, does that mean I can punch the White Tiger of Mount Nan and kick the Azure Dragon of the North Sea? I’m afraid I’ll be swallowed whole by a tiger the moment I step outside!”
“Excuse me, is your so-called miraculous medicine real? Can it truly cure all diseases?”
In short, the official website was densely packed with jokes and witty remarks from netizens and humorists.
Of course, there were also those whose loved ones were suffering from terminal illnesses, with no hope for recovery.
They clung to the Licorice Medicine like a final lifeline, pinning all their hopes on it.
Regardless, on the first day, the official website of Licorice Medicine was overwhelmed and crashed!
