Ye Chen and Su Binglan discussed the pharmaceutical company's affairs.

In the end, Ye Chen and Su Binglan unanimously believed that Chu Yanran would not give up this cooperation!

The profitability of the pharmaceutical company was one aspect, and as Su Binglan said, Chu Yanran would never give up on Ye Chen—she had the intention to capture Ye Chen's heart.

Those pills were not only about money, especially the specially crafted Revitalizing Pills; if they were to enter the high-end market, they were sure to cause a sensation among the nobility!

However, the Revitalizing Pill could not be mass-produced, after all, scarcity brings value!

If there are ten people wanting to buy, you only release enough for two or three, thus making the Revitalizing Pill the most sought-after and most expensive luxury item in the nobility circle!

Moreover, Chu Yanran's network was extensive, and as long as she controlled these pills, she could control a vast web of connections!

There were also the Beauty Enhancement Pills, the Body Sculpting Pills, and the Hundred Treasures Elixir—which could serve both the mass market and the luxury market. The mass market would have a lower price with reduced efficacy, while the luxury market would be expensive, with greater efficacy. The largest consumer group in the nobility circle was not those family patriarchs, but rather their wives!

When women in the nobility circle gathered, which one did not want to outshine the others, aiming to be the most dazzling?

These wealthy ladies compared cars, handbags, who maintained their looks better, and who was more beautiful. One could imagine the stir that Ye Chen's pills would cause when they hit the market!

In short, these pills were a tremendous treasure trove. If well-developed, they could even build a commercial empire!

Chu Yanran also realized the profits contained in these pills, hence she was willing to spend tens of billions to promote these drugs. Once successful, Yanran International would expand, and expand, and then expand again! Becoming one of the top giants in the world would be just a step away!

In any case, Chu Yanran would not give up on this golden opportunity, and her feelings for Ye Chen were unclear and indescribable. She wanted to capture Ye Chen and turn him into her private forbidden fruit!

So, Su Binglan said that Empress Chu would not give up; she needed to maintain control over these pill treasures.

Ye Chen originally knew the huge profits of the pills, but after Su Binglan's analysis, he felt he had underestimated their profitability!

Chu Yanran would not forgo the pills, and she also wanted to possess him; this stirred something in Ye Chen's heart.

Chu Yanran had previously fallen for Ye Chen, which she had expressed in her words. However, Ye Chen had refrained from developing a deeper relationship with the Empress because of the concern over her son's Lone Star Evil Qi.

But now that Chu Yanran sought him out again, when discussing pharmaceutical cooperation, her implicit gazes and suggestive flirtations seemed to indicate a willingness for intimacy! This left Ye Chen pondering whether to accept it or, indeed, to accept it.

Ye Chen truly wanted to win over Empress Chu. As the owner of a business empire, her assistance would undoubtedly accelerate his plan to build an astounding enterprise.

Yet, Ye Chen was wary of her Lone Star child, as he had not yet ascended to the status of a Land God. If he became too entangled with the Heavenly Destitute Star, his own situation would be dire.

To conquer the Empress meant that Ye Chen would reap benefits both in love and business!

But, if he were to conquer Chu Yanran, he would also be tainted by the power of the Lone Star, bringing him relentless misfortune!

Indeed, it was a dilemma!

However, upon learning the full story, Su Binglan started teasing Ye Chen for feigning innocence, trying to eat the fish without the taste of it.

Su Binglan was a true enchantress—when she told Chu Yanran to her face that she was pregnant with Ye Chen's child, it was to stir up the Empress. Even if Chu Yanran walked away in sadness, by the time she sought out Ye Chen again, it would likely be to finalize the pharmaceutical cooperation!

Finally, Ye Chen left.

Because of Zhang Xinlan, Ye Chen and Su Binglan's affairs could not be made public; for now, Su Binglan had to endure some inconvenience.

"Ye Chen, how did the talks go?"

Back at home, Zhang Xinlan asked him.

"The matters of interest have not yet been settled; Chu Yanran wants to monopolize the power, and I am not willing to suffer a loss, so it's currently a stalemate. The final result is still unpredictable!" Ye Chen honestly said, seeing no need to hide the cooperation matters from Zhang Xinlan, who had always sought to help him succeed in his endeavors.

"Chu Yanran is a leading business empress; gaining an advantage over her is certainly difficult. However, your prescriptions are of tremendous value; it's not impossible!" Zhang Xinlan encouraged. "I believe in you; you'll definitely succeed and create your dynasty!"
