Fatty Lai Seizing the Opportunity

“Deadly Seven Herbs Poison!”

“Thousand-year poison!”

“You can’t detect it? It’s similar to seasoning?”

All the reporters exclaimed. What Fatty Lai said seemed too unimaginable and they couldn’t accept the saying. Wasn’t it too unrealistic? He is even using a thousand-year poison as an excuse?

“Really? If it’s a thousand-year poison, why were the others unaware of it? How did you manage to research and analyze it?” A report began to ask questions. This reporter was with Direwolf, his underling! Direwolf was busy keeping up with the coma event’s reports, using his underlings in the conference.

“Haha, I’ve already said that this thousand-year poison is lost. In other words, no one knows the compound of this poison. Only a few main herbs have recorded it on ancient books!” Fatty Lai began to talk nonsense again, “We confirmed seven types of herbs from the analysis and after comparing it to the herbs recorded, we were able to confirm it that it was the lost Deadly Seven Herbs Poison!”

“Oh? Then what are the seven herbs? If it’s lost, then how was someone able to use the poison?” DIrewolf’s underling didn’t want the direction of the rumors to change and continuously asked sharp questions.

“I am sorry that I cannot provide you the compounds of the poison. First, it is confidential and second, what if it’s taken advantage by malicious people after we publicize the compounds of the poison?” Fatty Lai smiled, “However, we already provided the compounds to Songshan’s police. As to why someone used it to poison students even if it has been lost for years, it’s up to the police’s investigation. We are just a medical company, and it is not within our field!”

Fatty Lai’s words made the reporters below the stage laugh, yet DIrewolf’s underling was furious. He panicked, “Did you make up a random poison to make you famous? What thousand-year poison. It’s only for the sake of restoring the First School’s reputation and for creating publicity for your company. Can you make an antidote for this thousand-year poison? If you can’t, what’s the point of having the compounds to the poison? Who knows if it’s real or fake?”

Although the Direwolf’s underling wasn’t polite with his words, he asked what numerous reporters wanted to ask. In fact, they questioned the liability of Deadly Seven Herbs Poison since it sounded unrealistic and exceeded the standard cause they could accept.

“Haha, since it’s a thousand-year poison and the recipe for it is already lost, how is an antidote available?” Fatty Lai smiled and paused here intentionally.

“If that’s the case, are you admitting that you are merely using this to create publicity?” Direwolf’s underling’s eyes shone and continued to raise difficult questions.

“That’s not what I said. I’m only saying that even ancient documents don’t have the recipe of the poison recorded down. Naturally there won’t be a recipe for its antidote,” Fatty Lai made a face, gesturing them to calm down before continuing, “However, although we do not have the antidote right now, through our company’s specialist team’s hard work and numerous experiments, we finally made an antidote targeting the poison. Right now, the factory is working over time to rush the production of antidotes. By tomorrow morning, the first batch of antidotes will be produced and used on those students in the coma!”

“Wha–” Everyone, including the DIrewolf’s underling, exclaimed. Did they really make the antidote? Is it only for publicity?

Even the hospital was unable to do anything against such strange symptoms of the coma, but Doctor Guan medical company diagnosed it as a thousand-year poison. Not only that, they even made an antidote for it. The company was really as marvelous as what the rumors said!

“Of course, the antidote is not a product for sale under our company, but it is specifically made to target the poisoning event. We will not take a single cent!” Fatty Lai continued, “We will gift them to those students in the coma without asking anything for return. This is also the societal responsibility that each medical company should take. Earning money comes second but saving lives comes first!”

Fatty Lai’s words earned all the reporters’ respect. This was a kind-hearted medical company. If it was another black-hearted company, they could only not provide it for free, but raise the price. If they sold the batch of antidotes to Pengzhan Industries, they could sell it at an insane price!

Everyone knew that if this event wasn’t settled, the First School under Pengzhan Industries would get negative impacts. However, if a medical company used this opportunity to raise the price of the antidote, they could earn quite some profits!

“Next, I will announce our new product, Doctor Guan’s injury medicine’s function, effects and the release time…” After Fatty Lai finished talking about the poisoning event, he naturally utilized this chance to promote his company’s own product.

All the reporters listened to Fatty Lai’s introduction carefully, and they were ready to report it in detail when they went back…

After the news conference held by Doctor Guan medical company, the tides turned and all the rumors that spread previously began to change. All social media were ready to blame the criminal and at the same time, felt sympathetic towards the First School. They also gave Doctor Guan medical company favorable reviews.

Now, even Direwolf was unable to change the situation. Although he took Li Cihua’s money, he couldn’t swim against the current, could he? Now that the truth was revealed, everyone was condemning the criminal and praising Doctor Guan medical company. Direwolf couldn’t continue to attack the First School, right?

Even his newspaper office’s editor in chief told him to draft a report denying his previous reports and condemning the criminal and praise Doctor Guan medical company! Well, he couldn’t act against other major media, could he?

Direwolf had no choice but to give Li Cihua a call.

“Cihua bro, It’s Direwolf!” He sounded unconfident, “I tried my best to attack the First School and Pengzhan Industries, but there’s nothing I can do. Doctor Guan medical company is too difficult to deal with. They found out the cause of the students in the coma. They said something about being poisoned by Deadly Seven Herbs Poison, and they made an antidote for it. There’s no way I can lie through my teeth!”

“What?!” Li Cihua was shocked after hearing what Direwolf said, “What did you say? Doctor Guan medical company found out the cause of the students’ coma? They created an antidote?”

“Yes. Cihua bro, what should we do now? I didn’t complete the mission you gave me… Then the money…” Direwolf didn’t want to return the money since he did do quite a lot for him. Who knew that Doctor Guan medical company would intervene?
