Chapter 2201 - 2190: Solved with a Flick of the Wrist

That Yamei actually turns out to be the company under Young Master Zhuang!

Working with them is basically asking a tiger for its skin, isn’t it?

Besides.

What kind of scheme Young Master Zhuang is plotting, Qin Yuegu knows all too well!

A faint killing intent flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Zhou Mumu’s face also darkened, her delicate brows tightly knitted.

"Even if the company goes bankrupt, we still won’t cooperate with that Yamei!"

In the end, Zhou Mumu gave a soft snort and spoke with firm resolve.

The whole mess with Zhao Xing and the others was backed by Yamei, even by Young Master Zhuang himself—how could they still work with them?

Elder Hu across from them also fell silent.

There were only three days; there was simply no time to develop a new product!

Watching them argue over the problem, Lin Tian glanced at Elder Hu, then said to Qin Yuegu, "And this gentleman is?"

"This is Elder Hu, consultant to our company’s R&D department! At the same time, Elder Hu is honorary vice dean of the Medical College here in Mizhou City. In Chinese Herbal Medicine and in beauty Medicine Pills, he has truly astonishing attainments! In Mizhou City, he counts as a well-known Traditional Chinese Medicine master!"

Qin Yuegu hurried to introduce him to Lin Tian.

Honorary vice dean of the Medical College!

And a Traditional Chinese Medicine master!

That title is no small thing!

Lin Tian looked at Elder Hu, unable to keep a hint of surprise from his face.

At this moment Elder Hu also understood Lin Tian’s extraordinariness; he quickly stood up and said, "This old man is Hu Rui, with just a modest reputation! I’ve let senior... Young Master see a joke!"

Originally Hu Rui wanted to call Lin Tian "senior," but seeing Lin Tian’s age, he couldn’t bring himself to say it, so he settled on "Young Master."

"Elder Hu, you flatter me! Just call me Mr. Lin."

Lin Tian smiled calmly, neither overbearing nor overly casual, then said, "So the company’s current dilemma is that the product went wrong, and we urgently need a product that can crush the competition and at the same time break into the international market?"

"Exactly, that’s the problem. It’s just that we don’t have enough time!"

Elder Hu glanced at Lin Tian, then shook his head with a bitter smile. "Even for me, to develop a brand-new beauty product—even at the fastest—it would take several months, even a full year! Now the new product has already shipped, but who would have thought something would go wrong halfway? Strictly speaking, it’s still this old man’s dereliction of duty!"

"Elder Hu, this isn’t just your responsibility; it’s the responsibility of everyone in the company from top to bottom!"

Zhou Mumu’s expression turned solemn. She shook her head and said to Elder Hu, "It’s also my fault for not doing my job properly, for not supervising well! What we can do now is come up with a countermeasure... Forget about fending off the impact from other companies for the moment, we have to deal with Tiansu Group first! Otherwise if we breach the contract, we’ll have to pay a sky-high penalty!"

Hearing this.

Hu Rui fell silent again.

Right now there was basically no other solution, unless they hurried to talk with the representative of Tiansu Group who came to Huaxia this time, and see if they could make amends some other way.

Lin Tian frowned slightly, then said to Hu Rui, "Can you let me have a look at the recipe for the product you developed?"

For ordinary cosmetics and beauty companies, every product uses many different substances and has a top-secret recipe.

Since he was the R&D consultant, Hu Rui should know the recipe, and most likely it was in his hands.

So Lin Tian asked directly.

However.

The recipe was top secret; asking for it at a time like this was indeed a bit abrupt.

As expected, Hu Rui’s face froze, and he showed a hint of hesitation.

He turned to look at Zhou Mumu, his gaze seeking her opinion; he couldn’t make this decision on his own.

And the moment she heard Lin Tian ask about the recipe, Zhou Mumu’s beautiful eyes were already shining!

Who is Lin Tian?

He’s an Immortal who can walk on air!

Maybe he really has a way with this recipe!

Zhou Mumu quickly said to Hu Rui, "Elder Hu, he’s one of us, just let him take a look! Lin Tian studied Traditional Chinese Medicine!"

"Mr. Lin is actually well-versed in Traditional Chinese Medicine too!"

Hu Rui’s old face showed surprise; he was clearly taken aback.

Since Zhou Mumu had spoken, he didn’t hesitate anymore. He picked up the briefcase in front of him, took out a file from inside, and handed it to Lin Tian.

It was a full stack of ten or so pages.

But the actual recipe was only a few hundred characters.

Lin Tian skimmed it, then chuckled softly. "This beauty product is called Shiyan? Originally it was named Youthful Liquid? The name was changed because you felt it didn’t live up to it?"

"Not exactly! In this world, where is there any true Anti-Aging Medicine? Even if something exists, it only delays aging at best! Our product is designed specifically for women, with beauty and skin-care effects that slow down aging! But it’s definitely not like those products on the market that brag irresponsibly—we’ve repeatedly tested it in the lab and it truly has that kind of effect! We only changed the name so people wouldn’t criticize us, and also because this name sounds a bit more refined."

Hu Rui shook his head slightly as he explained to Lin Tian, "It’s just... an accident still happened! When the finished product came out and we tested it again, we found that the Shiyan Medicine Liquid did temporarily have a beautifying effect on the skin, but within a short time it would actually damage the skin! I still can’t figure out where the problem lies... after all, we verified it over and over in the lab."

By the end, Hu Rui was almost talking to himself, his brows tightly furrowed, his face full of worry.

"A problem is normal. The way you configured and balanced the substances here is wrong! But it’s actually very simple—I’ll just help you tweak the recipe."

Lin Tian tapped lightly on the file and spoke in an even tone.

"What! It’s very simple? You can fix it just by modifying it?"

Hu Rui’s old face changed, staring in shock.

This Shiyan beauty recipe had taken him countless adjustments and trials to develop.

And you just say ’modify’ and that’s it?

How could it be that easy!

"It really is. I can fix it with a flick of my hand! I’ll write it out for you—once you see it, you’ll understand."

Since it was Zhou Mumu’s company, Lin Tian naturally didn’t hold back; if he could help, he would.

Then he directly started writing a string of substances on the blank back page of the file.

Most of those substances were also ones Hu Rui had listed, but there were a few very common yet, in this combination, very novel Chinese Herbal Medicine ingredients.

At the same time.

Lin Tian also wrote out in detail the processing time for each ingredient, their specific effects, and the fusion ratios.

Not only that, at the end he elaborated on the overall effects and properties of the Medicine Liquid and the reasons for the previous failures!

Off to the side, Zhou Mumu, Qin Yuegu and the others, including Hu Rui, all stared wide-eyed as they watched Lin Tian’s pen race across the page, leaving dense lines of text.

He wrote for nearly half an hour straight.

When he finally put down the pen, Lin Tian looked over what he had written, then added a few last remarks at the end before handing the file back.

Hu Rui had been craning his neck in anticipation. He took the file and began reading carefully; before long, he was utterly stunned, his eyes bulging round.

"This... this is... this is the real... Anti-Aging Medicine! How is this possible... You can actually match them like this? Wrong, wrong... I was completely wrong! No wonder, no wonder..."

At that moment, it was as if Hu Rui had gone into a trance. Staring at what Lin Tian had written, he muttered to himself, his expression swinging from shock to sighs of regret, until finally his withered palm slammed down hard on the table.

His sudden outbursts left Zhou Mumu and Qin Yuegu and the others utterly dumbfounded.
