Chapter 59: A Fine Prescription

"Brother-in-law, let's go." After kicking Fang Chen away, Ye Qian pulled Chen Yu along and left, feeling completely satisfied.

"How are you so amazing, brother-in-law? You really are so different from before." After leaving Fang Chen's company, Ye Qian felt as if she were in a dream.

"Alright, stay at my place for a while these next few days and keep your sister company," Chen Yu said.

"Okay, hee hee, I'll head over right now." Ye Qian giggled; after dealing with Fang Chen, she was in a great mood.

"Mr. Chen, I am Song Mengyan. We met at the club yesterday; do you still remember me?" Just as Ye Qian left, a phone call came through.

"I remember. I will go to perform Acupuncture for you tonight," Chen Yu said.

"That's not it, Mr. Chen. Is it convenient for you to come to my company now? There are some things I would like to discuss with you in person," Song Mengyan said.

"Alright, I'm heading over now," Chen Yu said.

Tianyun Pharmaceutical, the largest pharmaceutical company in Fengling, integrated research, development, and sales. When Chen Yu arrived, Song Mengyan was already waiting.

"Mr. Chen, I want to buy this prescription of yours." In the conference room, Song Mengyan took out a piece of paper; written on it was exactly the prescription Chen Yu had given her yesterday.

"Buy this prescription?" Chen Yu was slightly stunned. "This prescription isn't worth much; if you want it, just take it."

"Mr. Chen, I used the medicine for the first time yesterday and felt the effect was extremely good. Our Tianyun Pharmaceutical focuses primarily on the research and development of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I want to buy this prescription and mass-produce it," Song Mengyan said. "Our R&D department has already verified the effects."

"This is more effective than any asthma medication on the market. If this medicine hits the market, it will definitely sell very well."

"So that's how it is," Chen Yu laughed. "But this medicine is only targeted at your asthma."

"However, common asthma is categorized into wind-cold, wind-heat, congenital, and allergic types, and there are also symptoms like congenital deficiency, acquired imbalance, severe depletion of kidney Qi, and deficiency of the congenital foundation. If you want to make an all-encompassing asthma medicine, I actually have the best plan for that here."

Chen Yu picked up the pen on the table, wrote with a flourish, and a prescription was already placed before Song Mengyan.

"Six Flavors Asthma-Calming Decoction." Song Mengyan stared at the prescription, her eyes unable to look away. After a long while, she suddenly looked up and called out, "Xiao Zhang, have Professor Li from the R&D department come over."

"Warming and nourishing the Yang within the Kan, gathering the scattered true essence—a fine prescription, this truly is a fine prescription." A moment later, the white-haired Professor Li held the prescription, his hands trembling with excitement.

"Professor Li, what do you think of this prescription?" Song Mengyan asked urgently.

"All-encompassing; it can treat almost all common asthma cases. The effect is excellent. This prescription simply pushes the various efficacies of Traditional Chinese Medicine to the extreme." Professor Li adjusted his glasses and said excitedly, "Young man, how much do you want for this prescription?"

"Whatever you think it's worth, just pay that," Chen Yu said with a smile.

"This prescription is... priceless." Song Mengyan looked at Chen Yu with a troubled expression. "To be honest, I think the value of this prescription is worth more than our entire company."

"But our company has been suppressed too heavily by competitors recently, and our cash flow is insufficient; we really cannot come up with that much money."

"Then just take it and use it; it's not worth much to me anyway," Chen Yu smiled.

"No, no. If this prescription hits the market, the market value of our Tianyun Group could triple, and the impact would be unprecedented." Song Mengyan shook her head. "That would be taking too much advantage of you."

"It's fine, I have many more here. If you need them, I'll just write a few more," Chen Yu said.

"You have many more?" Song Mengyan's eyes suddenly lit up; that look was almost as if she wanted to swallow Chen Yu whole.

"Yes, I have many more," Chen Yu nodded.

"How about this, Mr. Chen? Why don't you buy into our Tianyun Group?" Song Mengyan suddenly stood up. "That way, we can both win."

"I disagree." Suddenly, the door opened, and a man pushed his way in.

Cheng Yong, General Manager of Tianyun Pharmaceutical.

"General Manager Cheng." Song Mengyan hurriedly stood up. "General Manager Cheng, listen to me, Mr. Chen buying into Tianyun is beneficial for all of us."

"I don't care. Song Mengyan, don't blame me for not warning you. Currently, Tianyun Pharmaceutical has a herbal tea formula, a cough medicine, and a cold and flu medicine formula for which I hold the ownership rights. If you dare to let an outsider buy in, I will withdraw the authorization immediately," Cheng Yong shouted in a deep voice.

"General Manager Cheng, those three medicines are our company's best-selling products. We can discuss this; you absolutely cannot withdraw the authorization," Song Mengyan said, startled.

"Then listen to me. You've considered my previous proposal, right?" Cheng Yong smiled.

"General Manager Cheng, you previously demanded to hold forty percent of Tianyun Group's shares; I'm afraid I cannot agree to that request," Song Mengyan's voice turned cold.

"Then there is nothing to talk about. Song Mengyan, your father and I were friends. After he passed away, I put in no small amount of effort for the company. I deserve half the credit for the company being able to go public and reaching its current scale. Now you want to dismiss me with just over ten percent of the shares? That isn't appropriate, is it?" Cheng Yong said with a chuckle.

"General Manager Cheng, let's look at the facts. Fifteen percent of the shares is the maximum concession I can make," Song Mengyan shook her head.

"Then I'm sorry. Starting today, I will revoke the authorization for those three medicine formulas. Let's see what Tianyun Pharmaceutical has left to compete with our old rival, Three Emperors Pharmaceutical," Cheng Yong sneered.

"General Manager Cheng, if you have any dissatisfaction with the company, you can bring it up," Song Mengyan's tone softened. "The Traditional Chinese Medicine market is currently in a slump, and we were already at a disadvantage competing with Three Emperors Pharmaceutical."

"If you revoke the authorization at this time, our Tianyun Pharmaceutical will fall into a very passive position. You watched Tianyun grow up; please, I beg you, do not act on impulse."

"Then do as I propose. I want to be the company's largest shareholder." Cheng Yong took out a Contract. "Once you sign it, the Contract takes effect."

"I..." Song Mengyan bit her lip, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

"Hehe, if you can't make up your mind, then don't blame me." Cheng Yong stood up, put away the Contract, and prepared to leave.

"General Manager Cheng, stay your hand. This Contract... I'll sign it." Song Mengyan gritted her teeth.

"That's more like it, hehe." Cheng Yong smiled; he had been certain Song Mengyan would sign.

Song Mengyan picked up the pen and, gritting her teeth, prepared to sign. At that moment, Chen Yu, who was to the side, stepped forward and pressed down on her hand: "Wait."

"What is it?" Song Mengyan was startled.

"If I'm not mistaken, you have already reached an agreement with Three Emperors Pharmaceutical, right? Regardless of whether she gives you the shares or not, the result is the same. You are going to revoke the formula authorization and take these three formulas to Three Emperors Pharmaceutical, correct?" Chen Yu said.

"Kid, don't be a busybody. Our business has nothing to do with you," Cheng Yong's expression changed.

"Originally, I didn't want to be a busybody, but I really can't stand the way you act. An old friend's company—now that the friend is gone, you bully a young girl?" Chen Yu said coldly.

"General Manager Cheng, is this true? Have you already reached an agreement with Three Emperors Pharmaceutical?" Song Mengyan felt a pain in her heart and looked at him, unable to believe it.

"That's right. Hmph, since I'm leaving anyway, I won't hide it. I have already reached an agreement with them. Within half a month, I will take my three formula authorizations to Three Emperors Pharmaceutical," Cheng Yong snorted coldly. "The price they offered is much higher than yours."

"Cheng Yong, you are being a bastard. If your formulas hadn't been improved by us in many ways, they wouldn't even be usable as medicine. You are burning bridges!" Professor Li said angrily.

"Yes, so what if I'm burning bridges? Professor Li, a person has to think more about themselves. Song Mengyan is just a woman; how could there be any future following her? It would be better to come with me to Three Emperors. I guarantee the compensation will be better than here," Cheng Yong said, head held high.
