My husband Can Cultivate

Chapter 387 387 Divine Medicine

Liu Changsheng said with emotion, "Just wait for the good news! We won't disturb you any further!"

Zhao Xiong also smiled. "President Ye, don't worry. The City Lord Mansion will always support you!" His visit was to express the City Lord Mansion's official stance: they absolutely supported the Qifei Group.

The news quickly reached Kong's Pharmaceutical, infuriating Kong Yue. He had not only spent a large sum of money, but in the end, he had failed to accomplish his goal and might even implicate his own company.

"That useless Zhang Miao! I should never have trusted him! He can't even handle such a simple matter!"

Kong Yue's mood was foul. He had thought victory was in his grasp, but little did he know such a mishap would occur at the last moment. Damn it!

Denise said with a smile, "What is Young Master Kong afraid of? Our new drug has already secured so many pre-orders. Moreover, our drug was released first. Even if their drug is launched, what's the point? In the end, won't they still lose miserably?"

Kong Yue's mood improved considerably. "That's true. For the same type of drug, your team's influence is undoubtedly greater. I bet they won't sell a single cent's worth of their medicine!"

His confidence was entirely due to the enchanting fantasies Denise had been feeding him, especially with her pillow talk. He had forgotten who he was, completely under the woman's mental control. He had no idea what kind of junk Denise's team had actually concocted for him, yet here he was, feeling smug.

Meanwhile, Li Qingyan was looking gloomy.

"Their medicine has already started taking pre-orders, attracting a lot of attention," she said to Ye Fei. "But because of all the negative news, no one is asking about ours. No matter how good a drug is, it's trouble if the market doesn't recognize it."

"Don't worry!" Yang Qi said with a smile. "This is medicine, not some fad product; it won't go out of style. We don't need to rush the release. Let's wait until their drugs are out and see what happens. A truly good medicine, one that can save lives, will eventually become popular. Rest assured."

He had told Yan Bo to hold back some of his articles. He was convinced that the four new drugs from Kong's Pharmaceutical were all duds. Once public opinion turned against them, he would have Yan Bo fan the flames. That way, their own drug could seize the opportunity and rise to prominence.

"That's true! What should we do next?" Li Qingyan asked.

"Weren't we supposed to be developing a new drug? Let's continue! This drug is just the beginning. Our future is to make these medicines dirt cheap!" Yang Qi said with a grin.

"Yes!"

The team no longer worried about sales. Instead, they focused their efforts on developing the second new drug.

At that moment, Kong's Pharmaceutical launched its new drug. The press conference was full of boasts about how miraculous it was, and with Denise as a spokesperson, it certainly grabbed a lot of attention. But medicine isn't something you can sell with good advertising alone. Efficacy is what truly matters. If such an expensive drug was ineffective, it would cause a massive scandal.

Soon, patient experiences began to surface, along with clinical test results from numerous medical institutions. The effects were abysmal, even less effective than simply taking herbal remedies. The drugs were crudely manufactured—they could even be called counterfeit. There was nothing commendable about them. They were expensive, useless, and triggered a wave of returns.

At this point, the National Medicine Association and the Heavenly Supervision Hall got involved.

Yan Bo seized this opportunity, instructing his media group to publish a series of reports. The articles detailed how Denise's team had stolen research materials from the Qifei Group and subsequently slandered them. They also exposed the shady partnership between Kong's Pharmaceutical and Denise's team, including the incident with Zhang Miao. Furthermore, the reports featured glowing evaluations of the Qifei Group's drug from medical authorities like Liu Changsheng, the President of the National Medicine Association; Chen Guo, the Vice President of its Jingzhou Prefecture branch; and Yao Ran.

Then, they strategically brought up Yang Qi's victory at the Elixir Medicine Conference, where he had dealt a major setback to Chuyun Xiong from Kappa Country.

The patients who had been deceived decided to try the Qifei Group's drug, purchasing it through various channels with a "what have I got to lose" attitude. The price was so low that they were willing to take the chance. Even if they were duped again, the financial loss wouldn't be too painful.

Initially, many people were skeptical. But after three or four days of using it and experiencing the effects firsthand, the patient support groups went into a frenzy.

Meanwhile, Kong Yue and the others were still in the dark.

"These poor wretches are actually demanding refunds and even complaining to the City Lord Mansion!" Kong Yue griped. "This is so frustrating!" He turned to Denise. "Is there really a problem with your drugs?"

"Young Master Kong, what could possibly be wrong with our drugs? It's just that those idiots don't recognize quality!" At this point, Denise was still trying to cover up her mistakes. She had even gone so far as to call the people struggling with their illnesses "idiots." If that remark ever got out, it would surely cause a major disaster.

"How are the Qifei Group's drugs selling?" Kong Yue suddenly asked.

"I imagine they're not doing much better than us," Fang Neng said with a laugh. "But it seems they only have one drug, not four. They probably ran out of money."

"With their pathetic technological foundation, what kind of good product could they possibly develop? It's definitely worse than ours!" Denise added.

"Let's hope so," Kong Yue said. He felt a little uneasy. The thought of Yang Qi, a modern medical expert who had won the championship at the Elixir Medicine Conference, left him unsettled.

Patient groups across the country were buzzing. Many people still hadn't tried the Qifei Group's drug, having been burned by Kong's Pharmaceutical and unwilling to be fooled again.

"Has anyone tried it? What's it really like?"

"It's a great drug! An absolutely great drug! Cheap and effective! I even went to the hospital for a check-up. The effect is just as good as the imported drugs, but it's dozens of times cheaper!"

"For real?"

"He's telling the truth! I've tried it too, and we had it tested by a professional agency. This is truly a Divine Medicine!"

"Yes, it's an affordable and effective medicine for the people! With this, we're saved!"

"It's even cheaper than generic drugs, but the effect is so much better. I never expected this!"

"This is a pharmaceutical company that actually cares about the common people. We really misjudged the Qifei Group before!"

"I never expected the Qifei Group to be so good at both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine. It's amazing!"

"Okay, no more talk. I'm going to buy a few more boxes to stock up. Once everyone finds out, they'll probably sell out!"

…

In this age of social media, no secret can be kept for long. The success of the Qifei Group's cancer drug immediately became big news. People all over the country were singing its praises, and countless hailed it as a Divine Medicine. The only regret for some was that the drug only targeted leukemia. They hoped the Qifei Group would develop more and better medicines.

And just like that, orders for the Qifei Group's drug skyrocketed, achieving tremendous success.

"Incredible! Xiao Qi, if it weren't for you this time, I really wouldn't have known what to do. But now, we've finally succeeded!" Ye Fei said, letting out a long sigh of relief.
