Qin Chuan, with a nervous heart, got into Wen Yaxin's car.

"I'm only going back to my place, you don't need to change your clothes, just these two conditions. If you don't agree, I'll get off."

As soon as he got in the car, Qin Chuan immediately laid down the rules with the other party.

He wasn't worried that Wen Yaxin had any ill intentions towards him, he was only concerned that Wen Yaxin was after his body.

The girls in big cities are really too scary.

All of them are after his body.

The aunties in the countryside weren't wrong, boys going out in the world must learn to protect themselves.

Wen Yaxin heard this, pouting, with a sullen expression, looking somewhat unhappy.

"Am I really that unattractive? Is it necessary for you to disdain me so?"

Wen Yaxin complained while keeping her hands on the steering wheel.

She admitted, she was indeed a bit playful.

But she had never done anything inappropriate with a guy.

She always just enjoyed that feeling of being adored by many, rather than physical pleasure.

Moreover, she had never met a guy who moved her heart.

Qin Chuan was the first.

She had a feeling, this might also be the only one.

Like someone, go pursue them.

She always had a bold love-it-or-hate-it personality.

But with Qin Chuan, she really felt a strong sense of defeat.

She even wondered if her charm was lacking, or if there was something off about Qin Chuan's sexual orientation.

After all, that day she had drugged him, and it had gone that far, yet Qin Chuan still held back.

This damn guy, he's really infuriating.

There seemed to be something irresistible about him.

Faced with Wen Yaxin's complaints, Qin Chuan just responded lightly, "I'm not that kind of guy."

"You're not, but am I then? I'm still a virgin, are you a virgin?" Wen Yaxin flared up.

"Uh..."

Qin Chuan was left speechless, choked.

This reasoning didn't seem to hold water.

"Haha... speechless, huh?" Wen Yaxin sneered sarcastically.

Qin Chuan's old face turned red, he was just trying to find an excuse to brush it off, yet it backfired.

Now, he found himself in a bit of an embarrassing situation.

Wen Yaxin, still fuming, floored the accelerator along the way, speeding through the city.

The thirty-minute drive she forcibly cut down to just eighteen minutes, dropping Qin Chuan off downstairs.

"Get out." Wen Yaxin spat in pique.

"Sorry."

Qin Chuan knew he had said something wrong, and obediently apologized, then got out of the car and left.

"Idiot!"

Watching him leave, Wen Yaxin spat angrily, feeling a kind of frustration.

She clearly knew Qin Chuan didn't mean to mock her, but she just had to steer the conversation in that direction.

She was just acting on a whim with Qin Chuan.

Yet faced with Qin Chuan's sincere apology, she immediately felt she was being a little unreasonable just now.

It's she who's pursuing Qin Chuan, not Qin Chuan pursuing her.

What good was it to quarrel with Qin Chuan?

Alas...

The more Wen Yaxin thought about it, the more confused she became, unable to figure out why she'd become this way.

"Am I really worried he might be out of my league?" Wen Yaxin belatedly realized, as if there was a mischievous kitten in her heart, constantly scratching.

"Ahhh..."

Wen Yaxin frantically pounded the steering wheel: "No way, I must sleep with him, I want to give my first time to him."

At that moment, she seemed possessed, secretly swearing in her heart.

The next day, Qin Chuan took advantage of the afternoon when he had no classes, directly going to the address on Li Qinyi's business card, showing up downstairs at the Phantom Group headquarters.

Looking at the almost sixty-story building, Qin Chuan deeply felt what it means to be at the pinnacle of the pyramid.

This was the financial power of the Phantom Group, one of the five major forces in River City.

No less impressive than Obsidian Capital's control over financial power.

This was due to their monopoly on the highly profitable pharmaceutical business.

Last night, Qin Chuan specially looked up Phantom Group online, gaining a deeper understanding of Phantom Group.

Whether it's traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine, or even medical cosmetology, Phantom Group dabbles in it all.

The entire healthcare system in River City has their shadow in it.

It's no exaggeration to say, even for a minor cold, part of the funds falls into their hands.

The speed of making money is comparable to a money printing machine.

Standing downstairs, Qin Chuan dialed Li Qinyi's number.

Before long, a girl in a professional outfit appeared in front of him, leading him into Phantom Group.

According to the girl's self-introduction, Qin Chuan learned that she was Li Qinyi's secretary.

Li Qinyi herself being a secretary, yet she also had several secretaries under her.

This indicated that Li Qinyi's position in Phantom Group was not an ordinary one.

The girl led Qin Chuan to the 36th floor of Phantom Group.

This was Phantom Group's traditional Chinese medicine research and development department, with nearly a hundred employees and a wide variety of medicinal herbs inside.

The girl briefly introduced the place.

Most of the employees here were graduate students from various medical universities, high-tech talents.

Their work was to extract ingredients from medicinal herbs, make them into patent medicines, and use more scientific proportions to develop new formulas.

It had a feeling of combining Chinese and Western approaches.

Before long, Qin Chuan saw Li Qinyi there.

Today, just like yesterday, Li Qinyi was dressed in an office lady uniform.

However, because she was indoors, she wasn't wearing a jacket.

A ladies' shirt hugged her full chest, while on her shapely hips was a black pencil skirt.

Today, she wasn't wearing stockings, revealing a portion of her evenly toned leg, her skin as fair as snow.

"Mr. Qin, to ensure the product was crafted by you personally, we need you to demonstrate on-site. Whatever herbs you need, you can have Xiaoting get them for you," Li Qinyi stated right away.

Qin Chuan nodded, wrote down the necessary herbs on paper, after which Li Qinyi led him to a separate room.

The room was filled with various equipment, both for traditional and Western medicine.

After setting down the herbs, Li Qinyi and her secretary left the room.

Qin Chuan glanced up at the camera on the ceiling, then nonchalantly began to concoct the Beauty Cream.

"Did he notice?"

In another room, Li Qinyi watched Qin Chuan on the surveillance monitor, furrowing her brows.

Behind her stood a group of middle-aged men in white lab coats.

They were all elites from Phantom Company's research team.

Their purpose in being here was singular: to steal skills.

This was a tactic Phantom Company commonly used, and even finding Qin Chuan to collaborate on the Yang Gathering Pill was done with this intent.

Otherwise, a mere Qin Chuan wouldn't be worth Li Qinyi's personal visit.

"Pity, he's not making the Yang Gathering Pill." Someone lamented at this point.

"I've always been skeptical about this alchemy method. Many ancient emperors obsessed with alchemy often ended up poisoned. This suggests that alchemy simply doesn't exist."

Someone expressed their doubt.

"Then how do you explain why, using the same herbs and proportions, we're unable to make the Yang Gathering Pill?" Someone questioned.

"That's easy, either those people are his accomplices, or he's hidden something, only we haven't detected it. Alchemy, absolutely does not exist."

Upon hearing this, the majority on-site nodded in agreement.

After all, alchemy was just too fantastical.

For this group of academically trained modern folks, they simply didn't believe such methods existed in the world.

"Quiet!"

Li Qinyi suddenly spoke, "He's starting to concoct!"
