Chapter 317: The Lin Family Burns Their Boats
The Lin Family felt as if a basin of cold water had been dumped over them, chilling them from head to toe!
One second, they felt the Lin Family had reached its peak and could finally hold their heads high in triumph!
But the next, they had to tuck their tails between their legs and live at the mercy of Yuanxi Pharmaceutical!
This didn’t make any sense, did it?
Lin Jianan frowned and asked, "Xingchen, what exactly happened? Didn’t you plant a mole in Yuanxi? Didn’t you preemptively register the patent for the Anti-Aging Cream? Wasn’t Yuanxi Pharmaceutical on the brink of collapse? How did they make such a comeback?"
"Yuanxi Pharmaceutical released a new product..."
Lin Xingchen recounted the events of the press conference truthfully.
Lin Jianan couldn’t accept reality and roared, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Health beverages have no medicinal value! How could the Lingxi Health Beverage be so miraculous?"
Lin Xingchen lowered his head, his face contorted in agony. He couldn’t figure it out either! ’Why is the Lingxi beverage so miraculous?’ he wondered.
A junior member of the Lin Family suddenly shouted, "It’s trending! The Yuanxi Pharmaceutical press conference is trending!"
"Quick, play it for us!"
The junior member quickly pulled up the video, and the Lin Family elders all crowded around.
The more they watched, the colder the hearts of the Lin Family members grew. By the end, their hearts were completely frozen!
The Lingxi Health Beverage is just too damn incredible, isn’t it?
With such a mind-blowingly awesome product, how could their Huanya Pharmaceutical even compete?
"It’s over! We’re finished! Huanya Pharmaceutical is finished!"
"Huanya Pharmaceutical is one of the two pillars of our Huanyu Group. If Huanya Pharmaceutical is finished, it’s like our Huanyu Group has lost an arm!"
"I never thought Ruoxi would become so capable! If we had known, why did we have to force her into a marriage alliance? If we had just made her president of Huanya Pharmaceutical, our Lin Family could have easily overcome this crisis!"
Instantly, the members of the Lin Family all turned to glare at Lin Xingchen, because he was the one who had proposed forcing Lin Ruoxi into the marriage alliance.
Lin Xingchen felt wronged by this but couldn’t explain himself. After all, it was the old master’s idea, and someone had to take the blame for him.
For once, Lin Xingyu didn’t kick him while he was down. He knew very well that if he pulled his First Brother down now, he would be forced to take over this mess!
Yuanxi’s Lingxi beverage was practically a hydrogen bomb! No one could withstand that blast!
Lin Xingyu said in a low voice, "Now is not the time to assign blame. We should be thinking of a way to minimize Huanya Pharmaceutical’s losses! The Huanyu Group can’t withstand such a massive shock!"
Lin Xingchen shot Lin Xingyu a grateful look. He hadn’t expected his Second Brother to be the one to pull him up when everyone else was kicking him while he was down.
Lin Jianan asked in a deep voice, "Xingyu, do you have any good ideas?"
Lin Xingyu pointed at the press conference video and said calmly, "Actually, the pharmaceutical companies at the conference have already shown us the way! If you can’t beat them, join them! There’s no shame in it! As long as we play the family card with Ruoxi, we can definitely get the distribution rights for the Lingxi Health Beverage! If we can’t get through to Ruoxi, we can start with the Third. He’s an honest person who still cares about the Lin Family. We can surely convince him."
Lin Xingchen gritted his teeth and said grimly, "Second Brother’s idea is a good one. It would indeed minimize our losses, and we might even turn a profit! But to make this happen, Ruoxi needs to see our family’s sincerity! I propose that I be dismissed from all my positions within the Huanyu Group! We could even, at a strategic time, expel me from the Lin Family! This would appease Ruoxi’s anger! Then, it’ll be a sure thing for Huanya Pharmaceutical to get the distribution rights for the Lingxi Health Beverage!"
Lin Xingchen was actually being this ruthless to himself!
Everyone was stunned!
If First Brother (or First Uncle) and his family were expelled from the Lin Family, it would free up a lot of key positions!
Everyone was a little eager to try their luck!
Lin Jianan gave Lin Xingchen a deep look. Xingchen had been dealt a good hand but had somehow lost twice in a row! Lin Jianan was already quite disappointed in him!
However, Lin Jianan hadn’t expected his eldest son to be so willing to take responsibility!
He was even willing to propose his own expulsion from the Lin Family to appease Ruoxi’s anger!
Lin Jianan clapped Lin Xingchen firmly on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "Xingchen! Don’t worry. As your father, I won’t overlook the sacrifice you’re making for the family! Expelling you is just a temporary measure. I will find a chance to bring you back into the family!"
"Thank you, Father!"
Lin Jianan turned to Lin Xingyu. "Xingyu, issue a notice immediately. Relieve your First Brother of all his duties in the Huanyu Group and expel his family from the Lin Family! They will no longer receive any share dividends from the Huanyu Group!"
"Yes!"
"Also, contact Ruoxi immediately. If you still can’t get through to her, contact the Third. Play the family card hard! We absolutely must get the distribution rights for the Lingxi Health Beverage!"
"Yes, Father!"
...
Yuanxi Pharmaceutical’s press conference was over, but Lin Ruoxi was busier than ever!
There were too many orders!
All the pharmaceutical companies, chain pharmacies, and large supermarkets in Dongshan had sprung into action, rushing to Yuanxi Pharmaceutical to place orders at the first opportunity!
It was five in the afternoon before Lin Ruoxi finally finished dealing with all her friends from the Dongshan Pharmaceutical Community.
Just as Lin Ruoxi was about to breathe a sigh of relief, her assistant, Hua Fangfang, burst into the office, her face flush with excitement.
"President Lin, we’ve received over a hundred more large orders!"
Lin Ruoxi was stunned!
"Pretty much all the pharmaceutical companies, large supermarkets, and major pharmacy chains in Dongshan have already been here! Where did all these new orders come from?"
"The orders are from all over the country!"
Huh?
Lin Ruoxi was completely bewildered. Yuanxi Pharmaceutical’s press conference had only invited reporters from Dongshan. ’What the hell is with orders from all over the country?’
"Investigate! Find out what’s going on!"
Hua Fangfang smiled. "President Lin, there’s no need to investigate. I know what’s happening. You should check the trending topics, and then check Wang Feng’s social media."
Lin Ruoxi had been busy ever since the press conference ended, without even a moment to drink some water. Naturally, she had no idea the press conference had hit number one on the trending list! Nor did she know that Wang Feng had posted an update.
Lin Ruoxi pulled out her phone and looked, and was instantly dumbfounded!
’Oh my God, the Yuanxi Pharmaceutical press conference is actually number one on the trending list?’
And it was number one by a landslide!
The kind that completely crushed number two into dust!
’Our Yuanxi Pharmaceutical didn’t pay for any traffic!’
’What’s going on?’
Huh?
’Number two on the trending list is Wang Feng’s new song?’
Lin Ruoxi gave a wry smile. She never thought she’d be the one to suppress Wang Feng.
’This Wang Feng is just too unlucky, isn’t he?’
’Destined to be number two forever!’
After seeing Wang Feng’s post, a smile of approval appeared on Lin Ruoxi’s face. Wang Feng was a class act, giving Yuanxi free advertising!
’No wonder over a hundred orders came in all at once!’
’This is the advertising power of a top-tier singer!’
"Fangfang, contact Wang Feng immediately. Yuanxi Pharmaceutical is interested in hiring him as our spokesperson!"
