Chapter 132 – If she didn’t try to get back at them, they’d have the misimpression that they could walk all over her (3)
After some discussion with Kong LiLi, Fang JunRong sent a message to Jiang WenYu and set up a meeting time with him.
Even though she was the one who provided the formula, as a layman, she knew nothing about this and needed to spend some time consulting with Jiang WenYu. Speaking of, he had already been working behind closed doors for a while now. She wondered how his thesis was coming along.
***
As busy as Jiang WenYu was busy with his thesis recently, he could still spare a day or two.
Looking at his face, Fang JunRong shook her head and said, “Look at you. Anyone who doesn’t know any better would think that I have been treating you poorly. Have you been eating properly lately?”
Jiang WenYu had lost more weight since the last time she saw him.
Jiang WenYu was baffled by her question. “I have been eating my meals.”
Fang JunRong didn’t say anything but called up a nutritionist to put together custom meals for Jiang WenYu. The nutritionist would be responsible for Jiang WenYu’s three meals a day going forward.
Staring at Jiang WenYu, she said “I will deduct 10,000 yuan from your budget for each meal that you skip. If you don’t maintain good health, it will affect my profit. My investment in you can all be in vain.”
Jiang WenYu’s lips twitched. It was the first time he had run into a boss like her. But deep down inside, he understood that she cared about his well being.
“Even if it wasn’t for my benefits, you should still eat properly.”
Jiang WenYu paused for a little and a slight smile appeared on him. “Alright.”
His smile was like a flower’s reflection on a pool of water, illusional and fragile, as though it’d disappear with one gentle touch.
Fang JunRong was almost charmed by his look. As much as Jiang WenYu resembled Zhang Bi, as far as she was concerned, he looked much more pleasant than that guyi. She recollected herself and told him the purpose of her visit.
“There is something that I want to ask you about. Regarding the Beautify Pills, will you be able to come up with a formula using the same ingredients but much less effective?”
Jiang WenYu mulled over it for a little bit and said, “The crux of the Beautify Pills is the spring water that is provided by you. The spring water is what balances out all the other ingredients perfectly along with the efficacy of restoring one’s skin.
“Without that spring water, the other ingredients alone would not be able to provide the same effects. It would be effective at the beginning because of the strength of the medicinal properties but once the ingredients left the body, the effect would begin to diminish. Plus long term use might bring about other side effects.”
“Such as?”
Jiang WenYu coughed and said, “Flatulence.”
Fang JunRong figured out what he meant by that right away. That meant they would fart and burp a lot.
Excellent! She’d for sure hand over this formula to Li WangJin!

Li WangJin had been busy with getting hold of his confidants as of late. He only picked those whom he felt he could trust. Unfortunately, Kong Lili, the Deputy Section Chief of Production, was the most promising one of all, but she had declined to help him even after he had offered her a very handsome reward.
Ah well. There were still others even without Kong Lili.
While he was working on getting his hands on the formula, he also started on other matters related to launching his own production. Producing makeup products like these required many certifications and all sorts of approvals. Fang JunRong was lucky. She received Meifang during the divorce proceedings and all of these were done years ago. Luckily, he was working with Zhang Bi. As a family in the field of medicines, they had their own skincare product line “Yifang” with their main product being facial masks.
He had a discussion with the Zhang’s. The Zhang’s would be responsible for the factory and the equipment and Li WangJin the capital. Li WangJin would need to provide a billion yuan. A billion yuan was a stretch in the past, but he’d still be able to come up with that. After his divorce, however, Fang JunRong had walked away with almost all of the cash and Ayron Corporation was the only thing that he had left. His stock was worth a lot, but he wanted to maintain his status as the number one stock holder. As such, he was very conscious about how much he could sell. He held 47% of the stock right now and the second biggest stockholder held 36%.
If he was to take out a loan, the process itself would have taken days. Let alone that fact that he had just taken out a loan recently, and he had spent almost all of it already. In addition, most of the company’s profit recently ended up in his pocket and he had been using them to fill his holes left and right. Many on the board of directors were already aware of this and had demanded an explanation from him.
