Hearing Xu Nan's words, Bai Jiao also said with a face full of admiration, "Yeah, yeah, our Cheng Xinyi is already the leader in the domestic market, but to expand our business overseas is incredibly difficult. We've tried many times, encountering numerous obstacles each time. I never expected that Shen Qiang's company, which has just started, has already overtaken us."
Shen Qiang smiled modestly and said, "It's just a difference in the industries we're in, not that my company is doing better than yours."
Hearing this, Xu Nan's eyes sparkled as she said, "Shen Qiang, it's good to be humble, but excessive modesty becomes hypocrisy. Among the tens of thousands of domestic pharmaceutical companies, only a handful have been recognized by other countries, openly inviting them over. As far as I know, in history, to this day, there have not been more than five."
"And among them, the rest are old, established pharmaceutical companies, all from the handful of top-tier families in the Cultivation World, such as the esteemed Medicine King Valley, which once received such an honor. Now, you've also got this opportunity, quickly tell me if you've already reached an agreement with them."
Looking at Xu Nan's full anticipation, Shen Qiang felt a little embarrassed, but after a moment of silence, he decided to tell the truth, "Not yet, because I find it troublesome, I simply didn't go to meet them."
Xu Nan and Bai Jiao were both stunned on the spot.
At the side, Ji Liangchuan, who was drinking tea, suddenly spit out a mouthful.
Then he jumped up as if his butt were on fire, looking at Shen Qiang with eyes full of shock, "Are you an idiot? Such a great opportunity and you simply didn't go to see them? My God, what are you thinking in that head of yours?"
"This is an opportunity many dream of for their entire lives! And you just let it slip away?"
Looking at Ji Liangchuan's shocked face, Shen Qiang frowned displeasedly, "What are you ranting about? Sit down and speak properly. Aren't you Ji Liangchuan? Why are you making such a fuss? Isn't it just solving a lactose intolerance problem? What's so desirable about that?"
Xu Nan, Bai Jiao, and Ji Liangchuan were all stunned as they stared at Shen Qiang for a long while.
Ji Liangchuan said angrily, "What did you just say? Just solving a lactose intolerance issue? Are you joking with me, Shen Qiang? Don't you really know how great your Streptococcus Liquid is?"
Loosening his necktie, Ji Liangchuan said with utmost seriousness, "Can you take this seriously? Can you be more professional? In Huaxia alone, there are more than three hundred million people who are lactose intolerant, and the visiting delegation from abroad, due to racial genetic factors, in their country, more than ninety-seven percent of the population have varying degrees of lactose intolerance."
"Just in their country, your Streptococcus Liquid could save two million people."
"Do you understand what that means?"
"That's equivalent to saving the entire population of a Provincial City in their country every year!"
"Looking at the entire world, your Streptococcus Liquid could save at least ten million people a year, provided that production can keep up."
"Now you tell me, you still think it's not much of a big deal?"
Hearing this,
Xu Nan and Bai Jiao both looked at Shen Qiang with shining eyes.
But at this time, Shen Qiang, staring into the eyes of Ji Liangchuan, still said calmly, "Alright, even though this sounds like I'm bragging, I'll be honest, if we compare it to my other medical discoveries, this Streptococcus Liquid really isn't much."
Ji Liangchuan was stunned.
Xu Nan's beautiful eyes widened.
Bai Jiao covered her mouth with her delicate hand.
After a long while, Bai Jiao looked at Shen Qiang with shocked beautiful eyes and said, "Shen Qiang, if everything you've said is true, I think I can already be sure that your future accomplishments will be unparalleled."
Xu Nan was also shocked, "I actually already believe what you said because if you really considered the Streptococcus Liquid to be your most incredible discovery, you shouldn't be sitting here right now, but should be at a television station being interviewed."
With a thud, Ji Liangchuan collapsed onto the mahogany bench, continued to loosen his tie, and then looked at Shen Qiang with eyes full of shock and said, "It's really not fair. I've worked so hard, so earnestly, but until now, I haven't developed any medicine that could truly solve a difficult problem, yet you, this bastard, have done it, and not just one kind."
Seeing the shock in their eyes, Shen Qiang helplessly frowned and said, "Can you not do this? The reason I find it troublesome is that I'm afraid of encountering people who look at me with complete admiration, and besides, I'm just Shen Qiang, nothing more. If you consider me a friend, don't make things too complicated."
"If you're shocked and then worship me fervently, we'd never be able to get along well. So trust me, either treat me as the ordinary Shen Qiang or continue to be shocked. Of course, if you choose the latter, I won't let you in my house next time."
Upon hearing Shen Qiang's words,
Xu Nan snorted with laughter, "Shen Qiang, you really are not ordinarily narcissistic. Although you're awesome in biological pharmacy, you're far behind us in the Cultivation World."
"Exactly, us worshiping you fanatically? I worship your big head, ghost!" Bai Jiao reprimanded teasingly, "So to punish you, I've decided to go to Datong River every three days and dine and dash."
Hearing their words, Shen Qiang laughed, "No problem."
At that moment, Ji Liangchuan's eyes lit up as he watched Shen Qiang, a smug smile appeared on his face and he said, "Shen Qiang, I have to admit, your talent in the field of medicine is truly shocking to me, but this further proves the correctness of my judgment. Someone as outstanding as you, having you as my little brother, would definitely be an honor."
Shen Qiang curled his lip.
Just then, Ji Liangchuan's phone rang.
His eyes sparkled as he immediately answered the call.
"Uh-huh, how's the matter going? Yes, the noon entrepreneurs' banquet, did you get the invitation? ... What? You say what? Didn't get it? I'm not qualified?"
After hanging up, Ji Liangchuan's face turned red, but after a few seconds of silence, looking at Xu Nan, Bai Jiao, and Shen Qiang, Ji Liangchuan's voice was cold as he said, "Sorry, Provincial City is indeed not my hometown. I didn't expect that I, Ji Liangchuan, would play the shrimp in shallow waters and not even get an invitation to the banquet."
Upon hearing this, a hint of a sneaky smile appeared in Xu Nan and Bai Jiao's eyes. Their gaze was full of schadenfreude, as if to say, "That's what you get for showing off!"
Seeing the look of disappointment and some shame in Ji Liangchuan's eyes, Shen Qiang asked curiously, "What does it matter whether you attend such a banquet or not? Why bother getting into such muddy waters?"
