53: Chapter 53 Metabolix Capsule Finished Products

Two days later, at the Gao Lide Pharmaceutical R&D Center in Tiangang City, Lin Fang, wearing sterile gloves, examined the red capsule in his hand. Its shell was crystal clear, and the red particles inside flowed along with the high-bioactivity carrier. This was the finished Metabolix Diet Pills.

A drug capable of eradicating global obesity.

"It is truly beautiful," Mitte Wester said, picking up a capsule as well. He gazed at it with an expression of obsession, then pulled off his mask and, with lightning speed, shoved the capsule into his mouth, swallowing it dry with just his saliva.

Lin Fang: ...

"BOSS, don't worry. I made this, and I know exactly what it does," the chubby white man said, smacking his lips as if savoring the taste. "Besides, we've already conducted several animal trials."

Mite glanced at the person following Lin Fang and added, "The application for clinical trials is currently being prepared, thanks to Manager Li's help."

"It's all part of the job. I'm quite familiar with the ins and outs of this," Li Chengjian said with a smile, waving his hand.

He stared at the red capsule on the table, his feelings complex. He had seen some of the documentation for this drug not long ago and hadn't believed it at the time, not until the finished product was placed before him.

He was very clear about its efficacy; once the Metabolix Diet Pills were released, they were destined to sweep the global market.

Li Chengjian couldn't help but feel a bit dazed. Was developing a drug really this simple? This smooth sailing?

If he hadn't gone bankrupt, he might have actually believed it.

Taking a deep breath, Li Chengjian's gaze turned fervent. He was glad he had tied himself to this chariot. Although it hadn't even departed yet, he could already see the terrifying growth potential of this company.

Gao Lide had the potential to become an international pharmaceutical giant.

"Director Lin, rest assured, I will do my utmost regarding the drug's launch and production."

Li Chengjian looked at Lin Fang and promised: "As of yesterday, we have already received the production license for the Metabolix Fat-Burning Capsules."

"Most of the raw materials have been acquired, and the pharmaceutical factory is ready to start operations."

Lin Fang nodded and picked up another capsule with a slightly duller color from the side. "Have you found a spokesperson? Get the publicity started as soon as possible."

This Metabolix Fat-Burning Capsule was a weakened + additive version of the Metabolix Diet Pills. Compared to the cumbersome launch requirements of the latter, the Metabolix Fat-Burning Capsules would serve as a sports nutritional supplement—a stepping stone for both the domestic and international markets.

Although its effects were significantly weakened, it was still in a league of its own compared to the various over-hyped products in the weight-loss market.

Because it actually works for weight loss.

Li Chengjian had become quite accustomed to Lin Fang's style of 'provisions first, troops later,' so he quickly replied:

"I have already contacted a top-tier domestic female celebrity."

"She won't be able to refuse the price we're offering."

...

...

"Xu Tian, what's going on over there? You have good eyesight, take a look."

Having just finished their task and stepped outside the pharmaceutical factory, a young man with a crew cut was surprised to see a scene of people bustling about downstairs at the R&D center, and he nudged the person next to him.

"Let me see," said the young man named Xu Tian, squinting into the distance. His eyes widened when he spotted the beautiful figure in the middle of the crowd.

"Those are all the company's executives. I see Director Xu, and our boss is there too!"

"Which Director Xu?"

"Our superior, the General Manager of Third-Party Technology."

Xu Tian felt a bit puzzled when he said this. Who was that next to her? Everyone's gaze was clearly fixed on him. Could it be...

Xu Tian's heart skipped a beat. He was aware of the company's structure and quickly grabbed the young man next to him and hurried over. "Holy crap, tell the guys in the group chat quickly, the Big Boss is here!"

A moment later, under the death glare of their supervisor, Xu Tian and the other man didn't dare to get closer. They could only watch from the roadside as the large group of people, along with that sycophantic supervisor, boarded a shuttle bus and drove off toward the east—the direction of the Third-Party Technology headquarters building.

But Xu Tian had still caught a glimpse of the young man in the middle. What was that phrase? A glance that lasts ten thousand years. Yes, that was it.

Xu Tian felt his description was accurate. He had never seen anyone so special; it was as if he was born to stand in the center of the stage, a figure who could lead the changing tides.

We mere mortals can only stand on the sidelines and cheer.

"Damn, the Big Boss is so young, yet his aura is so powerful. He glanced at me, and my legs were shaking," the crew-cut youth said as well.

Until he got off work and put the instruments back in their place, Xu Tian was still pondering a question: would he ever have the chance to follow the young man he saw at noon? Right now, he was just an analyst. To work under the Big Boss, he would at least have to take out Li Chengjian, the manager of the Gao Lide Pharmaceutical company.

Sigh, there were too many people to take out; no matter how he thought about it, it felt unrealistic.

Xu Tian returned home, feeling glum.

His father was sitting at the doorway, puffing away on a water pipe. The bamboo pipe had turned black from years of use. Seeing Xu Tian's expression, his father took a pinch of tobacco from the bag, rolled it into a small ball, stuffed it into the mouthpiece, and lit it.

"Son, what happened?"

Xu Tian shook his head. "Nothing."

"Is there anything you can't tell your old man?" his father exhaled a puff of smoke.

Xu Tian pulled up a wooden stool and sat next to his father, saying half-jokingly, "Nothing, I just suddenly want to get ahead in life..."

"Then you go fight for it, don't just settle down," his father said, sounding frustrated after hearing this, tapping his pipe against the ground.

"You're so young."

"I know," Xu Tian nodded.

His father smiled and took a few puffs of his pipe, then suddenly remembered something. He looked at Xu Tian, pursed his lips, but felt embarrassed to speak.

Xu Tian noticed this and pulled up a smug smile. He knew that one of the raw materials for the product the company was about to launch was potato skins. For this purpose, the company had even acquired a food processing plant nearby. Every day, dozens of tons of high-quality potatoes were sent in for processing, and the cleaned potato skins were then transported by designated personnel into the Third-Party Technology Industrial Park.

As it happened, Xu Tian's team had a regular task every day to inspect the quality of the potatoes at the processing plant. Last time Xu Tian came home, he learned that the few acres of potatoes his family grew were hard to sell. After rummaging through the fields, he guaranteed that he would handle it.

"Dad, don't worry. Boss Liu is coming tomorrow. He said not just our family, but from now on, as long as anyone in our village wants to sell, he'll buy it."

"You aren't lying to me, are you?" His father stopped smoking, his face beaming with joy. "I'm going to go notify your uncles right now!"

Soon, a group of people gathered at Xu Tian's home. When they confirmed that the matter was true, the place erupted, and everyone praised Xu Tian for having a bright future.

Xu Tian really made a splash in the village.

"Uncles, there's one more thing. Boss Liu told me he only buys the big ones with good skins."

Xu Tian stood up in front of everyone and said, "If anyone has bad ones, he won't buy them next time."

This was actually something Xu Tian had arranged with the person in charge. Helping the village was fine, but only on the condition that he didn't bring trouble upon himself.
