Chapter 18: Prescription

Seeing Li Lishu stop quoting the price, the auctioneer immediately shouted, "Murong Group bids nine million, is there any higher?"

"If there isn't, the winner of this development land will be Murong Group!"

The auctioneer faced the crowd below the stage and confirmed once.

Upon hearing this, Li Lishu really wanted to raise the bid, but she couldn't now!

Because she has already exhausted all the funds from Li Shi Group; if she were to raise the price again—

For Li Shi Group, that would be far too dangerous, possibly causing a break in the capital chain!

Thinking of this, Li Lishu, though very unwilling, had no way.

Since Murong Group has already pushed the price up to this point, she truly cannot continue to bid.

"Fine, if there truly isn't!"

"Then congratulations to Murong Group, becoming the auction winner of this development land!"

"The auction is now officially concluded!"

After the auctioneer on the stage finished speaking, he sealed the deal on the spot.

There was absolutely no chance for anyone to backtrack.

At this moment, Jiangnan, seeing the development land sold, turned to Murong Wan and said, "Can your Murong Group afford this amount?"

"If you can't, I'll have Song Zining bring some funds over."

Hearing this, Murong Wan shook her head and softly said, "No need, our Murong Group isn't at that level yet; nine million is still within reach, it's just that allocating and rotating the capital is a bit troublesome."

Seeing Murong Wan say that, Jiangnan naturally didn't waste words and said to her, "Alright, let's go."

Having said that, Jiangnan turned and left.

Murong Wan followed behind him, and as they walked, Jiangnan also saw Li Lishu's resentful, wife‑like gaze.

He could only say it was truly spectacular, simply exhilarating!

Later, Jiangnan led Murong Wan out and returned to Tianyu No. 1.

Just upon returning to the villa, Jiangnan sat directly on the sofa.

Murong Wan, seeing this, naturally leaned over.

Seeing Murong Wan so proactive, Jiangnan didn't refuse, and immediately wrapped his arms around her slender waist, saying, "You performed well today; consider this a reward for you."

Upon hearing that, Murong Wan's face flushed instantly, a bit nervous, yet she didn't push Jiangnan away, instead enjoying it, letting him hold her.

At that moment, she only felt a charisma emanating from Jiangnan, and this masculine charm made her intoxicated.

It was also thanks to Li Lishu, that woman who couldn't recognize Mount Tai even with eyes.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have had the chance to encounter a good man like Jiangnan.

Watching Murong Wan's bird‑like, dependent demeanor, Jiangnan felt a heat throughout his body, but now it wasn't like that incident.

Suddenly Jiangnan sat upright and said to Murong Wan, "Now that you Murong Group have secured that development land, it's about time to start planning."

"Although my Nan Shen Group could easily wipe out Li Shi Group, that would be far too uninteresting."

"Moreover, your Murong Group has been dormant for a long time; it's time to shine brightly."

"If you dare to act, whether establishing a commercial district there or a hospital, I can have Nan Shen Group support your Murong Family."

Suddenly, Jiangnan seemed to recall something and said to Murong Wan, "Wait here for a moment; I'll go upstairs first."

Upon hearing that, Jiangnan ignored Murong Wan's puzzled look and turned to go upstairs.

Later, Jiangnan closed the door on the spot, took a bottle of pills from a drawer, and headed downstairs.

When Murong Wan saw Jiangnan bring down a bottle of pills, a puzzled expression instantly appeared on her face, and she said, "What is this?"

Seeing Murong Wan's curious expression, Jiangnan immediately poured out a pill, handed it to her, and said with a smile, "Try it and you'll know; if your Murong Group can develop it, this pill will make your Murong Group the number one pharmaceutical in Jinghai."

Number one pharmaceutical in Jinghai!

Hearing this, Murong Wan couldn't believe it, her eyes widened as she looked at Jiangnan.

The reason Murong Group hasn't taken off in recent years is that they haven't developed new medicines.

Yet Jiangnan says this bottle of pills can make Murong Group the number one pharmaceutical in Jinghai?

Could it be that these pills have some miraculous effect?

Thinking this, Murong Wan said nothing and took the pill, swallowing it on the spot.

The next second.

Murong Wan only felt her body become extremely light; even the tension and fatigue from the auction vanished.

Even her spirit seemed especially improved; her entire qi and blood surged.

"So comfortable!"

"What exactly is this pill, why does it make my body feel so light and give me such a vigorous feeling after I take it?"

Upon hearing that, Jiangnan smiled and replied, "If you feel that way, it's normal."

"After all, if this pill were out in the world, countless big shots would scramble for it; as for its effects, you saw it—after taking it, you not only gain longevity, are immune to all diseases, but also can eliminate all physical and mental fatigue."

"Think about it: if this medicine is mass‑produced and sold at fifty thousand per piece, with prices continuously rising, how many rich people would buy it?"

At that moment.

Murong Wan's eyes instantly brightened, her gaze toward Jiangnan turning reverent.

"Those rich folks are obsessed with extending life and health; if it really hits the market, they'd probably snap it up in a flash."

Thinking this, Murong Wan immediately asked Jiangnan, "Your pill is so precious, and you just give it to us?"

Murong Wan still couldn't believe it; after all, a formula this precious could fetch at least a hundred million, and the production cost would certainly not start below a hundred billion!

It can be said that Jiangnan, holding this formula, can partner with anyone and it's a sure profit!

"Hehe, how could that be possible."

"You know how precious this formula is, I think you understand."

If the Murong Family wants this pill, they must obey my three rules.

Jiangnan immediately stated his conditions on the spot.

Murong Wan, hearing this, was not surprised, for the pill Jiangnan offered, even under the harshest conditions, the Murong Family would agree.

The Murong Family desperately needs a chance to rise.

And this opportunity, the Murong Family has waited for several years.

If the Murong Family does not launch a new medicinal product, they will inevitably be trampled underfoot by Hengyang Medicine.
