Munanqing suddenly blushed and looked at Luchuan hesitantly, "This secret... your eldest brother..."
Luchuan curiously leaned closer.
Munanqing seemed to struggle to speak, then turned her head away, "I'm not ready to tell you this secret yet, so I can't tell you."
Even more curious, Luchuan's eyes lit up, "Sister-in-law, you can't tease me like this. If you don't tell me, I won't be able to sleep tonight."
Munanqing shyly glanced at Luchuan, "Then I won't say. But when the time is right, I'll tell you. For now... I need to assess you."
"Assess?" Luchuan was puzzled, then his eyes suddenly brightened, and he quickly asked, "Sister-in-law, could it be that my eldest brother is some kind of invisible tycoon? Does he have a huge inheritance waiting for me to inherit, so he's having you assess me?"
Munanqing rolled her eyes, "If your eldest brother were an invisible tycoon, would we have lived so hard in the past? Have you been watching too many TV dramas?"
Luchuan thought about it and sighed helplessly, "Well, if you don't want to say, forget it. I won't ask anymore."
Munanqing smiled and reached out to pat Luchuan's head, "You can rest assured, it's definitely a good thing for you."
After saying that, a barely noticeable hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes.
Luchuan nodded, "Sister-in-law, let's have dumplings tonight to celebrate surviving the crisis. I want to eat the dumplings you make."
Munanqing happily agreed, "Okay, I'll go buy the ingredients and meat. You just rest at home after surviving the crisis."
Luchuan didn't refuse either, smiling, "Sister-in-law, you're so good to me."
Munanqing seemed a bit proud, put on her clothes with a smile, and went out to buy groceries.
Luchuan sat on the sofa, contemplating the next step in his plan.
"Lin Hu, a master of internal strength at the fifth level, is just a minor character under Long Tianya. If I want to compete with him, I have a long way to go. Improving my strength is the most urgent matter for me right now."
"This crisis was ultimately caused by Qin Lan and Liu Kun, that pair of despicable lovers. If it weren't for my luck, I might have died. This grudge must be repaid!"
"But before that, I have to visit Mengyao. If it wasn't for her asking Hongjie for help, even if I defeated Lin Hu, I wouldn't have survived the coma for long. I must thank her properly."
"Speaking of which, this woman says she doesn't care about my life or death, but behind my back, she uses her connections to help me. Does she actually like me?"
A self-satisfied smile appeared on Luchuan's face.
When Munanqing returned with groceries, Luchuan and she made dumplings together.
After dinner, Luchuan said, "Sister-in-law, I have something to do. You've been worried these past few days, so rest well at home."
Munanqing glared at him playfully, "I haven't been to work in three days. Now that I know you're fine, I can go to work with peace of mind. If I don't go, they might fire me."
Luchuan nodded, left the house, and thought to himself that he must earn a lot of money in the future to let his sister-in-law live a life without having to work.
He arrived at the Moon Beauty Cosmetic Company and went straight to the CEO's office.
Inside, Chu Mengyao's voice sounded irritated, "This drug is going to be on the market in three days. We've invested so much in the early publicity. Now, you're telling me that the production line can't produce the finished product. Are you deliberately messing with me?"
"CEO, we don't know what's going on. We were able to produce the finished product during the R&D phase, but when it comes to the production line, we can't produce the drug. We've checked the production line thoroughly, but we can't find the reason!"
Luchuan's expression changed slightly. It seemed that this beautiful CEO was in trouble.
He pushed the door and walked in.
Chu Mengyao, dressed in a uniform, stood in front of the desk with an unhappy expression, her arms crossed, exuding a formidable aura.
Seeing Luchuan come in, she frowned, "What are you doing here? Didn't I say not to see each other anymore?"
Luchuan smiled and said, "If I don't come, who else will help you solve your problems?"
He reached out his hand, "Let me see the formula for the medicine you were talking about just now."
Chu Mengyao was speechless. "Can you stop causing trouble? I'm busy right now, I don't have time for you. Get out quickly, or I'll scold you along with everyone else!"
Luchuan said seriously, "I'm not causing trouble. Please let me see the formula quickly."
Chu Mengyao gritted her teeth. "Just because you know a little bit about medicine, you think you can solve any problem? This is cosmetic medicine, completely different from what you know. Can't you stop being so self-righteous?"
Luchuan said, "All methods are universal. Cosmetic medicine is still medicine. If there's a problem, I can still see it. I know you're angry and want to vent, so how about this: if I can't solve your problem, you can stab me a couple of times with a knife, how about that?"
Chu Mengyao chuckled angrily. She seemed to be competing with Luchuan. She opened the drawer of her desk and took out a fruit knife, slamming it on the table. "This is what you said. Don't think I'm joking with you!"
Luchuan smiled, "That's what I said!"
Chu Mengyao snorted coldly and looked at the research and development pharmacist, "Give him the formula!"
The research and development pharmacist handed the formula to Luchuan, then glanced at him sneakily and shook his head.
"This guy is obviously clueless. He's gambling with the CEO like this. Isn't he just asking to be stabbed? Why are young people nowadays so reckless?"
Luchuan stared at the formula for a few seconds, then said to the research and development pharmacist, "Go and change the order of the deployment of Inula cappa and Dryopteris crassirhizoma, and try again."
The research and development pharmacist was stunned. "Did you... did you actually look at the formula carefully? You saw the problem in just a few seconds?"
Luchuan said lightly, "The problem is obvious. Is there a need to waste a lot of time?"
The research and development pharmacist was speechless, feeling that this guy was just here to show off. He said seriously, "The order of the deployment of medicinal materials has nothing to do with this. You're just messing around."
Luchuan said, "Just do as I say first, then judge whether I'm messing around or not."
Chu Mengyao sneered and sharpened the fruit knife on the edge of the table. "Do as he says!"
The research and development pharmacist, helpless, nodded to Chu Mengyao. "Yes, I'll go do it now."
Then he turned and left the office.
The secretary and the product manager didn't dare to stay in the office either and followed them out together. "We'll go help!"
Luchuan looked at Chu Mengyao, who was sharpening the knife, feeling a bit embarrassed. "You shouldn't keep holding that knife. Actually, I came here today to thank you."
Chu Mengyao snorted, "Thank me for what? Do I know you?"
Luchuan sighed inwardly, thinking she really was a woman with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
"Today, I helped you solve the problem with the medicine, which can be considered my repayment to you," he said seriously to Chu Mengyao.
Chu Mengyao sneered softly, "Hmph, don't think too highly of yourself. Different trades have different specialties. If this problem could be solved so easily, then those experts I hired with a lot of money would all be decorations!"
Luchuan shrugged, "Let's wait and see."
Chu Mengyao muttered under her breath, "Arrogant!"
Half an hour later.
The research and development pharmacist ran excitedly into the office, "CEO! CEO!"
