Everyone gasped when they saw the number.
It was simply too much.
But upon reflection, it wasn't entirely incomprehensible.
After all, with the promotion by two major leading groups, Qi Shi Pharmaceuticals and Yi Wang, coupled with the influence brought by overseas platforms, breaking this number was truly not difficult.
And this might just be the beginning.
More and more people would pay attention to Nangong Qianyu's livestream room later on.
What's more, with the novel slogan of "only one bottle can be owned in a lifetime," it was hard not to attract attention.
...
After the livestream ended, Ye Ming sat on the chair with a look of satisfaction, very pleased.
As of now, everything was going smoothly.
"Next, it depends on the Nangong family," Ye Ming organized his thoughts.
"Hmph! Ye Ming, what exactly do you want to do?"
At this moment, Nangong Qianyu, having finalized her collaboration with Zhang Shaokun, returned to see Ye Ming's radiant expression. Her brows furrowed slightly.
Through this collaboration, Nangong Qianyu could clearly sense that Ye Ming definitely harbored secrets he couldn't reveal.
Now, even she, a streamer with millions of followers, was starting to feel a little panicked. She used to have at most three to four million viewers for her livestreams.
But now, her follower count had surpassed one hundred million.
Barring any unexpected events, her future livestreams would have at least tens of millions of viewers online. Nangong Qianyu was unsure if she could handle such pressure.
Therefore, she was experiencing an inexplicable fear.
Seeing Nangong Qianyu approach, Ye Ming noticed her uneasy expression. He suddenly realized he had overlooked something.
That was Nangong Qianyu's feelings.
Nangong Qianyu was no longer a streamer with millions of followers, but one with hundreds of millions. And this number would continue to rise.
Could Nangong Qianyu adapt to this change?
Ye Ming reached out and gently held Nangong Qianyu's slightly cold, soft hand.
"You..."
Ye Ming's sudden action made Nangong Qianyu somewhat flustered.
"I'm sorry, I overlooked your feelings regarding some matters," Ye Ming said with great guilt.
Nangong Qianyu looked at Ye Ming, the starlight in her eyes softening. Looking at her small hand held in Ye Ming's palm, she felt an ineffable warmth.
"You don't need to apologize to me, I... I just want to know what you want to do," Nangong Qianyu said with a firm and serious tone. "That way, I can help you better."
Yes, I just want to help you better.
Hearing this, Ye Ming's body trembled slightly. Looking at the girl in front of him, who was a bit cute yet had determined eyes, he was touched.
With one hand, Ye Ming pulled, and Nangong Qianyu felt as if she was enveloped by a gentle force, tilting forward and being drawn into Ye Ming's embrace.
This time, Nangong Qianyu did not panic or feel shy. Instead, she lay quietly in Ye Ming's arms.
Feeling the warmth that only this man could give her, she knew she had fallen for this fellow.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so eager to see him this morning.
"Alright! When we get back, I'll tell you everything," Ye Ming took a deep breath and made his decision.
It was time for Nangong Qianyu and Fang Junxue and the others to know some things.
"Mhm!"
Nangong Qianyu closed her eyes, savoring the peace of the moment.
...
Qi Shi Pharmaceuticals Group Headquarters.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening, yet in this grand conference room, the lights were still bright, and every seat was occupied.
At the head of the table sat Zhao Donglai, the Chairman of Qi Shi Pharmaceuticals Group.
"I announce! From now on, the Divine Grace Plan will be our group's number one project. No one shall object," Zhao Donglai said, his eyes leaving no room for doubt.
"This..."
Zhao Donglai's decision confused many.
The so-called Divine Grace Plan was actually just a codename for the extraction of the health tonic. This name was naturally given by Zhao Donglai.
Of course, the name itself wouldn't matter much to people. However, the health tonic they extracted was not for sale as a product but was given away for free.
Therefore, this project not only generated no profit but also required continuous investment.
Hence, everyone truly couldn't understand Zhao Donglai's decision.
"Chairman Zhao, I object!"
At this moment, a slightly plump middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses suddenly spoke up.
His name was Guo Jingyuan, and he was one of the five major shareholders of Qi Shi Pharmaceuticals Group.
Guo Jingyuan stood up and said solemnly, "I believe everyone knows that this project brings no profit to our group, and instead incurs continuous losses. No matter how I think about it, I cannot understand why Chairman Zhao is doing this." He then looked directly at Zhao Donglai and stated, "Please give us a reasonable explanation, Chairman Zhao."
Upon hearing Guo Jingyuan's words, everyone broke into a cold sweat.
Although they also wanted to voice their objections, they dared not due to their positions.
Guo Jingyuan, as one of the five major shareholders, although his status was not as high as Zhao Donglai's, he certainly had some say.
"I also request an explanation from Mr. Zhao," another major shareholder stood up at this time.
Following suit, the remaining two major shareholders also stood up, demanding a reasonable explanation.
Under the pressure from the four major shareholders, Zhao Donglai found himself in a bit of a predicament.
However, this did not make him give up.
There were things he had to do, and he had no choice but to do them.
Because, it was the bestowal of grace from God in his heart!
How could he dare to disobey!
Just as Zhao Donglai was preparing to confront the four major shareholders head-on, his beautiful female assistant, Xu Fei, barged into the conference room once again, breaking the tense atmosphere.
However, Xu Fei's expression was not one of panic as it had been last time. This time, it was one of pleasant surprise.
Seeing Xu Fei enter, everyone's eyes held a hint of strangeness. After all, they vividly remembered the incident from last time.
This time, what new disturbance would she cause?
"I'm sorry! Chairman Zhao, I didn't mean to interrupt your meeting," Xu Fei's face was slightly flushed, clearly from being tired from running.
"It's alright! Go ahead!"
Seeing Xu Fei, Zhao Donglai was not only not displeased but felt a sense of anticipation.
At some point, whenever Xu Fei burst into his conference room, he felt like good things were about to happen. Therefore, he was exceptionally tolerant of this young assistant.
"Yes!" Xu Fei calmed herself down and said excitedly, "Chairman Zhao, just now, our finance department suddenly received an overseas fund of one hundred billion. The mysterious person who provided this fund claims to invest it unconditionally in the extraction of the health tonic and cooperate with our group to produce it."
"????"
Everyone was dumbfounded upon hearing this.
One hundred billion?
And to be invested unconditionally?
