Chapter 686: Eager to Test

Chapter 686: Chapter 686: Eager to Test

Ding Kaifang knew a place.

But he hesitated to speak.

With Doctor Li right there, and especially with Song Sisi blinking her big eyes at him from the side, how could he possibly answer?

If he answered, wouldn’t that just confirm he was an "old pro" who frequented those kinds of places?

Wouldn’t his image in Doctor Li’s eyes be completely ruined?

"Ahem!"

Li Xu saw Ding Kaifang’s predicament and coughed twice to smooth things over. "President Luo, don’t be in such a rush. Good things come to those who wait. You can take it home and test it at your leisure..."

In truth, Li Xu was a little curious himself.

’Which hotels in Feng City are good?’

’He wanted to hear the answer, too!’

After all, men are always a little drawn to this kind of gossip.

But with Song Sisi right there, her eyes as clear as a spring, he couldn’t show his interest. He had to pretend to be a perfect gentleman.

How could Luo Sha not be anxious?

It was like a man who hadn’t eaten in three days seeing a Manchu-Han Imperial Feast, only to be told he had to wait until dinner. Wasn’t that just torture?

He was desperate to verify if this potion could truly save his company.

He didn’t want to wait a single moment longer!

But seeing Ding Kaifang’s constipated expression, he realized it wasn’t the right time or place.

Going to a hotel to find someone was indeed a bit immoral, and risky too.

If he got caught, it would be like having yellow mud on his pants—even if it wasn’t shit, everyone would think it was.

Luo Sha’s eyes darted around as a plan formed in his mind.

"Fine, I’ll figure out a way to handle it myself."

With that, he pulled Ding Kaifang towards the exit. "Old Ding, come on, come on, come with me to buy something."

Once outside the clinic, Luo Sha made a beeline for the nearest health supplement store.

A few minutes later, he emerged carrying a black plastic bag.

Inside was an exquisitely crafted cup.

Then, he found a random express hotel that looked clean enough and rented a room by the hour.

"Old Ding, you want to give it a try, too?"

Luo Sha waggled the potion and the bag in his hand with a grin. "One 10ml bottle is enough for many uses."

Although Ding Kaifang felt a bit of an itch to test the Divine Medicine’s power for himself, he was a married man, after all, and an entrepreneur of a certain standing.

’Using a cup in some rundown hotel?’

’That would be far too degrading.’

"Get outta here. I have a wife; I don’t need this," Ding Kaifang refused righteously. "You go enjoy yourself. I’ll wait for you outside."

"Alright then. You wait here. I’ll come find you in a bit."

Luo Sha took the key card and went inside.

Ding Kaifang thought to himself: ’How long could he possibly take?’

Back at the clinic, Doctor Li had said the potion took effect in two minutes.

Besides, everyone knows that with these cups, the stimulation is much more intense than with a real person, due to the texture and vibration frequency.

Most guys would be doing well to last three to five minutes.

’Even with the medicine, he’ll last ten minutes at most, right?’

’I’ll just wait in the lobby. It’ll save me the trouble of getting another room.’

Ding Kaifang found a sofa, sat down, and started scrolling through the news on his phone.

Time ticked by, second by second, minute by minute.

Five minutes... ten minutes...

Ding Kaifang glanced at his watch, a little puzzled.

’Why isn’t Old Luo down yet?’

’Is he dawdling in the shower or something?’

He thought about calling to hurry him along but was afraid of interrupting him at the "peak of his excitement." If he scared him so badly that he became impotent, the guilt would be immense.

He could only wait patiently.

Another ten minutes passed.

It had already been twenty minutes!

Ding Kaifang was getting antsy, glancing toward the elevators every so often.

’This medicine’s effect... is a little intense, huh?’

He grumbled to himself.

Thirty minutes passed.

Ding Kaifang was filled with regret.

’If I’d known it would take this long, I would have gotten another room and taken a nap!’

His butt was starting to hurt from sitting in the lobby, and he had to endure the strange looks from the young woman at the front desk.

Finally, in the thirty-fifth minute.

"DING—"

The elevator doors opened.

Luo Sha walked out.

Ding Kaifang took one look and jumped in fright.

Luo Sha’s face was flushed, and he was panting heavily as if he’d just finished a marathon, his legs looking a bit weak.

Even more shocking, his eyes were red and watery. Had he been... crying?

"What’s going on?"

Ding Kaifang was stunned. He rushed over to him. "Old Luo, what happened to you? Why are you crying? Did something... go wrong? Was there a problem with the potion? Did you get hurt?"

Luo Sha grabbed Ding Kaifang’s arm, his grip frighteningly strong.

"Old Ding, it’s too powerful! It’s really too powerful!"

His voice trembled with excitement and ecstasy. "In my entire life... I’ve never been this powerful."

"Quick, tell me, how was it?"

Ding Kaifang asked impatiently.

Luo Sha took a deep breath, composed himself, and said, "This potion... it’s a miracle."

"After applying it, there was no numbness or stinging at all, just like I hadn’t put anything on. And it works incredibly fast—I felt its power in two minutes."

"The most crucial part is that it doesn’t reduce pleasure. In fact... I felt even more sensitive. But it was a controllable sensitivity, like you’re driving a supercar with the pedal to the metal, but you have a firm grip on the steering wheel, able to drift however you want."

"Do you have any idea how insane that cup is? Normally, I’d last three to five minutes at most. But today..."

Luo Sha held up three fingers, a smug look on his face. "Thirty minutes. I lasted a full thirty minutes! In the end, I only stopped because my back was aching and I was exhausted. I had to surrender, otherwise I feel like I could have kept going."

"As for why I was crying..." Luo Sha wiped away a tear. "It’s because it felt too good, and also because I’m so damn excited! I’m saved! My company is saved!"

After hearing this description, Ding Kaifang’s regret intensified.

’This is a fucking gold mine!’

’It’s a pot of gold!’

’Such an amazing product should have been exclusively for Ding’s Pharmaceutical Factory.’

’And now I have to share a piece of the pie with someone else. It breaks my heart.’

Before he could say anything, Luo Sha grabbed his hand again, his eyes filled with the utmost sincerity.

"Old Ding! We’re good brothers, aren’t we? You have to help your brother out!"

"This potion—no matter what, you have to help me get the distribution rights! Or... let’s partner up! As long as I can sell this, you can name any price. I’ll even get on my knees and beg."

He could clearly see that Ding Kaifang was having some regrets.

But he couldn’t worry about that now. This was his only lifeline, and he had to hold on for dear life.

...

「Inside Li’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic.」

After seeing off Ding Kaifang and Luo Sha, the clinic fell quiet.

Song Sisi walked up to Li Xu and slammed her hand on the table.

"They’re gone. Time to fess up."

Song Sisi crossed her arms, striking a pose that screamed, "Confession brings leniency; resistance brings severity."

"What were you two being so secretive about? And why did that President Luo run off to a hotel?"

"Also..."

she asked, "What’s this potion you’ve been researching? A minute ago, you even had me... had me..."
