Chapter 18

Xia Ruoxue put her hands on the conference table and looked at Su Na, demanding, “Su Na, are you telling the truth? Who do you mean by Director Sun?”

Overjoyed, Su Na knew that this was her chance to get revenge. With a cold harrumph, she said, “Of course it’s the truth. Sun Yi just told me that earlier, so you can ask her if you don’t believe me.”

With that, she Iifted her chin and looked down her nose at Sun Yi, her gaze full of malice.

Everyone’s attention turned to Sun Yi, but Sun Yi was slightly stunned.

She had a formula, yes, but it was one that Ye Chen had casually come up with.

How could she show them such a joke of a formula?

She glanced at Su Na, who was clearly enjoying herself at Sun Yi’s expense and waiting for the former to embarrass herself.

What should she do?

Was she really going to become the Magnificent Group’s laughing stock from today on?

Xia Ruoxue stared at Sun Yi and said anxiously, “Sun Yi, do you really have the formula for a Beauty Pill? Show us! If it’s real, I’ll make you the vice president on the spot! And I’ll throw in 3% of the shares too!”

Sun Yi was shocked. She had not expected the president to be so generous! Those things added up to a few billion in value!

However, she did not have the formula for any Beauty Pill. All she had was a torn serviette!

Sun Yi’s hesitation displeased Xia Ruoxue, and she said, “Do you think that isn’t enough? Alright then, name your price!”

“No, I…” Sun Yi stood up and tried to explain, but she had no idea where to even start.

Flabbergasted, she had no choice but to take out the Beginner-level Beauty Pill formula and place it before Xia Ruoxue.

“Sorry… President… It was just a joke by a friend of mine…”

Xia Ruoxue ignored her, but when she glanced at the slightly torn serviette on the table, her expression changed.

Was this the formula for the Beauty Pill?

Was this the formula worth a billion bucks?

F*ck, was it really written on a torn serviette?

Sun Yi must think of her, the president, as a fool!

Xia Ruoxue was not the only one. Everyone present flew into a rage!

Sun Yi’s actions were akin to pouring salt on the group’s wounds! How could she pull their leg with a torn serviette?

Just as Xia Ruoxue was about to lose her temper, one of the medical goliaths, Elder Xu, rushed forth. He had glimpsed a few lines of the formula, and it seemed that the formula may actually have some beautifying effects!

Ignoring everyone else’s reactions, Elder Xu picked up the serviette carefully and scrutinized it from up close.

The more he read, the redder his face became.

By the time he reached the end, his hands were shaking and a tear even flowed down his wrinkled face!

A few seconds later, Elder Xu threw his image to the winds and roared out loud, “This… This is actually the formula for the Beauty Pill! It’s the real thing! Oh my god, I can’t believe I got to see something this precious in my lifetime! I can die with no regrets!”

Elder Xu was so agitated that his breathing quickened, and he even grew dizzy.

He held the torn serviette carefully and jogged up to Sun Yi, saying excitedly, “Director Sun, where did you get this formula from? Can you tell me? I want to meet the person behind this formula! I’m begging you! Will it help if I kneel to you?”

Just then, everyone felt as though their brains had exploded!

After that, they were stunned. They were completely and utterly stunned!

This serviette, all worn and torn, such that no one would even pick it up if it fell to the ground… It was actually a formula worth a billion!

That was right, a billion!

A Beauty Pill, he said? Did such a thing actually exist in the world?

What the heck, was this for real?!

No one would believe them if they spoke about what was happening in this conference room!

On the other hand, no one here even considered the possibility that Elder Xu might be lying!

After all, Elder Xu came from a family of doctors, and he was a giant in the field!

There was no way he would sell out for money!

There was no way he would kneel, just to meet the person behind the formula!

The scene unfolding before them was too much to behold.

They were unbelievably shocked!

They were so shocked they could barely breathe!

Su Na’s breathing quickened. She could not believe what was happening, and her face was contorted as she murmured, “No way… It can’t be, how could this wench have the formula for the Beauty Pill…? It must be fake!”

The one who was most surprised was none other than Sun Yi herself! Right now, she had frozen into a statue!

Her gaze was fixed unblinkingly at the serviette, and her mouth was so wide open that she could easily swallow an egg.

“This is real? That guy actually gave me the Beauty Pill? How is that possible?”

Elder Xu’s eyes were filled with a burning passion as he said excitedly, “Director Sun, the guy… the person you mentioned, could that be the person who gave you the formula…? Could… Could you bring me to him? I’m begging you! I’m really begging you!”

With that, Elder Xu knelt on the ground before Sun Yi despite his old bones.

That was the reality before their eyes, rendering even the disbelievers speechless!

The medical mammoth of a generation was on his knees, so this had to be real!

Only then did Sun Yi recover. She hurriedly helped Elder Xu up and said, “Don’t do that, Elder Xu, I’m not worthy…”

Elder Xu raised his head and said in a trembling voice, “Will you bring me to meet that great master?”

Ye Chen’s lonely back suddenly appeared in Sun Yi’s mind, and the cruel words she had flung at Ye Chen this morning even resounded in her ears. She wanted nothing more than to give her mouth a tight slap!

It turned out that she was the biggest fool of them all, and not Ye Chen.

Why? Why did she not believe him back then?

On the other hand, why did Ye Chen try to exchange something this precious for three thousand bucks?

Was he crazy?

Or could this be a gift to prove his love for her?

Sun Yi’s mind was a mess right now, her thoughts so convoluted that she wanted to scream.

Xia Ruoxue recovered from her shock and coughed softly, stating her stance, “Elder Xu, are you sure this formula will work?”

Elder Xu said hastily, “President, I swear on my life that it’ll work! And this formula is a hundred times better than the Charming Star Beauty Corporation’s product! However…”

Xia Ruoxue never liked to hear such hesitation, and she said coldly, “Just tell me straight!”

Elder Xu continued, “However, it seems like the formula was damaged, and I can’t read one of the ingredients clearly…”

Xia Ruoxue’s expression changed, and she hurriedly turned to Sun Yi, demanding, “What is the meaning of this, Director Sun?!”

Sun Yi was about to say anything when a middle-aged man stood up and said, pointing at Su Na, “I can tell you what happened, president. Before you arrived, the PR Director Su Na snatched the formula from Director Sun and even trampled it beneath her foot! If you hadn’t arrived in time, this formula might have been totally destroyed!”

As soon as he said that, all eyes turned to Su Na!

Their gazes were filled with fire and fury!

This formula could decide the fate of the company, and this woman stomped on it! She must have a death wish!

Xia Ruoxue’s eyes were cold. She wanted to fly off the handle at Su Na, but she forced her fury down and said icily, “Su Na, do you realize you nearly destroyed the Magnificent Group?! Alright, from now on, you’re no longer a director with the Magnificent Group! Get the hell out of this conference room!

“Also, if something goes wrong with this formula, I guarantee that the group will take you to task for this!

“You’d better pray that the formula is fine!”

With that, Xia Ruoxue turned around and left!

When they saw that the president had left, Elder Xu and the other employees from R&D finally lost their patience! That woman had damaged the Magnificent Group’s prized possession! One of the more violent people even rushed at her and slapped Su Na across the face!

“Wench! Look what you did!”

Elder Xu’s old bones were shaking with rage as well, and his voice shook as he swore at her,

“So it was you, you evil witch! How dare you damage such a treasure! Do you have any idea what would happen if it was destroyed? It just so happens that my useless son is working at the Ministry of Culture, so just you wait and see!”

In an instant, Su Na had become the target of public ire, and the conference room erupted into chaos.
