Old Wu was utterly astonished. Being able to identify the medicinal ingredients in the cream just by smelling it is something only an expert could do. Yet, here he was, wearing a security guard's uniform, hardly looking like someone trained in medicine. Could he be a young master from a medical family, working as a guard for fun?

Ning Wanxi stared at him, her heart filled with surprise. How could he be so well-versed in traditional Chinese medicine? With a nose like that, he could be a Chinese medicine doctor. Why is he working as a security guard?

Truly a case of talent going to waste, complacent and lazy, Ning Wanxi snorted coldly in her heart, feeling a bit of contempt for her so-called husband.

As for Li Ruotong, she was looking at Luo Chao with bright eyes. He even understands Chinese medicine; he's truly an enigmatic man!

"Young brother, go on, I'm all ears," Old Wu said with some excitement in his expression. He believed that the young man before him, dressed as a security guard, was anything but simple!

Luo Chao continued, "This BB cream uses a combination of Angelica and Lingzhi, but only top-grade Lingzhi can effectively achieve the long-term benefits of rejuvenation and anti-aging. And with a mix of ginseng and Angelica, you can achieve the same effect—greatly nourishing Primordial Qi, retaining essence, and generating fluids. Inexpensive Korean ginseng can achieve this, so there's no need to use such expensive top-grade Lingzhi as an ingredient. Korean ginseng will suffice."

After saying this, Old Wu was stunned on the spot. After a while, his eyes sparkled as he said, "Well said, well said, young brother, you truly have great insight, I'm impressed!"

Upon hearing Old Wu's praise, everyone present was even more dumbfounded. They thought Luo Chao was just spouting nonsense, but it turned out he was speaking profound truths. It's worth noting that Old Wu is a famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor in Huaxia Country, and Teng Yuan Group had spent heavily to bring him in to develop cosmetic products with Chinese medicinal ingredients!

Huamei's general manager, Xie Yun, looked at Luo Chao with a changed expression, from disdain to awe. A humble security guard was actually well-versed in traditional Chinese medicine; truly, appearances can be deceiving!

"And another thing, Dr. Wu, the Poria you used in the cream is intended to harmonize with the other four ingredients. In fact, there is a simpler herb that can achieve the same effect—licorice, which is sweet and warm and harmonizes all medicines, and when roasted, it warms the center!"

Traditional Chinese medicine has thousands of years of history in Huaxia, profoundly vast and intricate, with each medicinal ingredient having its own properties. Licorice, an extremely inexpensive herb, is often overlooked, but it has unique uses in neutralizing the properties of other medicinal ingredients.

"Licorice!" Old Wu exclaimed in surprise. After pondering for a while, he shouted repeatedly, "How did I not think of that? Brilliant, truly brilliant. Young brother, your every word is like a gem, and at such a young age, to have such insight into traditional Chinese medicine is truly admirable."

Silence!

The entire office was as silent as a grave.

Everyone was shocked, staring at Luo Chao, unable to imagine that the security guard-looking Luo Chao could speak such wisdom that even an elderly medicine doctor had to admire.

Xie Yun, excitedly, said, "Old Wu, quickly calculate how much cost we can save now?"

Already in excitement, Old Wu hurriedly took out an abacus. After calculating, his eyes lit up as he said, "Manager Xie, we can reduce the cost by 90%. Calculating this, we only need to sell it for 400 yuan to make a profit."

"400!" Everyone exclaimed in amazement. Wow, just with a couple of pointers, Luo Chao managed to turn Huamei Company's cream into a product for the masses. If marketed, it would surely earn them a fortune!

Old Wu clicked his tongue and praised, "Young brother, what's your name?"

"My name is Luo Chao," Luo Chao replied straightforwardly.

At this moment, Old Wu's expression suddenly turned a bit "bashful." Rubbing his palms, he chuckled and said, "Brother Luo Chao, can I take you as my teacher?"

"..." Everyone stared wide-eyed, unable to believe their ears. Has Old Wu lost his mind? At sixty, he wants to take a twenty-something-year-old as his teacher.

Luo Chao burst into laughter, also quite astonished, and said with a laugh, "Dr. Wu, please don't flatter me. My trivial skills are nothing, it is I who should take you as a teacher."

"With your understanding of traditional Chinese medicine, I pale in comparison," Old Wu argued convincingly, believing that Luo Chao's accomplishments in Chinese medicine were extraordinary!

Luo Chao laughed it off and said, "I grew up in the countryside, often dealing with herbs on the mountains. That's why I'm a bit familiar with traditional Chinese medicine. So, this little skill is nothing."

"Sigh," Old Wu sighed softly, "I've never misjudged people, yet it's a pity that your incredible skills, young brother, are wasted on being a security guard."

"I need to go to the bathroom," Luo Chao laughed and quickly left with a lively step.

"President, don't you think we should reassign this security guard named Luo Chao to our Huamei's R&D department?" Xie Yun whispered to Ning Wanxi.

Ning Wanxi coldly responded, "If he were interested, he wouldn't have applied to be a security guard."

Xie Yun received a cold rebuke and didn't say more, then turned to Li Ruotong and said, "Miss Li, about our partnership?"

Li Ruotong's beautiful eyes shimmered like water, hardly believing it. Luo Chao's mysterious understanding of traditional Chinese medicine was truly remarkable.

"Ah?!" Li Ruotong was startled awake by Xie Yun's call.

Xie Yun repeated, "I mean the cooperation."

"Sure, let my manager discuss how to cooperate with you," Li Ruotong gestured, and her manager quickly moved over, entering Manager Xie's office to discuss cooperation matters.

"Luo Chao, why did you leave so quickly?" Luo Chao hadn't gone to the bathroom but had directly headed downstairs. As he reached the building's lobby, Li Ruotong caught up with him.

"There's nothing for me to do now, I need to get back to work at the parking lot, or they'll dock my pay," Luo Chao said with a grin.

Li Ruotong pouted, "Luo Chao, why don't you stop being a security guard and come be my bodyguard? I'll pay you five million a year, deal?"

Five million. Luo Chao was momentarily tempted, but he shook his head, "Sorry, I won't be a bodyguard for anyone again."

Luo Chao's words hinted at his past, having been a bodyguard before, something Li Ruotong knew because Luo Chao wholly embodied the qualities of a professional bodyguard.

"Could you work with me at least?" Li Ruotong asked expectantly.

"Sorry, I'm used to my current job and am not considering a change for now!"

If Li Ruotong had said this half a month earlier, Luo Chao might have really gone with her. Now, however, Luo Chao was bound by a contract and couldn't leave.

"I see, then can we at least be friends?" Li Ruotong said with a pout, appearing pitiful, as if silently telling him that if he refused, she would cry.

"..."

Luo Chao said helplessly, "Alright, I'm off to work."

"Alright, when you're free, I'll call you and invite you to dinner," Li Ruotong said, waving as Luo Chao gradually walked away.
