Chapter 374: 374 Extremely Disappointed
Beautiful scenery and attractive women are both pleasing to the eyes; seeing them often definitely improves one’s mood, and the soul becomes beautiful as well.
Therefore, Luo Ziling quite enjoyed looking at beautiful women’s faces and their fine figures, often just for pure appreciation, without any lascivious thoughts. He believed many men shared his thoughts.
He felt that women must be the same, otherwise why would so many of them stare at his face when they saw this handsome guy. He vividly remembered that some had even bumped into others because they were looking at him too long.
With such thoughts, Luo Ziling felt quite justified in his frequent interactions with Ouyang Feifei and Ouyang Huihui.
After all, he had never thought about taking advantage of them or getting involved in any romantic antics with them—at least not until today; whether that would change in the future was a matter for later.
Ouyang Feifei, of course, never dreamt that Luo Ziling, who accompanied her and chatted sporadically, would have such thoughts. If she had known what was going through Luo Ziling’s mind, she might have been so frustrated that she’d spit blood.
Ouyang Feifei once again invited Luo Ziling to her place for dinner and treatment.
The dinner was still delivered from a five-star hotel; after all, Ouyang Feifei was not capable of cooking, and trying to influence Luo Ziling in this way was impossible.
Today, Luo Ziling did see Ouyang Feifei’s assistant, Wang Qing. This assistant with the cold face still looked at Luo Ziling with unfriendly eyes. Of course, in Luo Ziling’s memory, Wang Qing never seemed to smile or be friendly towards him; anyway, this woman was not as cute as the stone-faced beauty around Ling Ruonan.
After Wang Qing’s direct disdain last time, he took a good look at himself in the mirror and, feeling that he was completely on par with Ouyang Feifei in terms of looks, had even less fondness for this cold beauty. So today, he didn’t even give Wang Qing a proper glance, only talking to Ouyang Feifei.
“We still have a bit of time before dinner; let’s talk business first,” Ouyang Feifei invited Luo Ziling to sit down in the living room and personally brewed him a cup of premium Longjing tea, while she had a cup of osmanthus tea.
Luo Ziling accepted it, somewhat flattered, and after expressing his thanks, he asked Ouyang Feifei, “Talk about what? Is it the business proposal you mentioned last time?”
“Exactly,” Ouyang Feifei nodded, “I think we can try to produce a pharmaceutical product or a medical prescription. You have some medication or a formula that you can decide upon, right?”
Luo Ziling didn’t answer but asked Ouyang Feifei to explain in more detail.
“I want to use your prescription to try and produce a medicine, to target and release it into the market, or to introduce a secret formula or health-preserving product that you provide, to see what kind of effect it can achieve,” Ouyang Feifei explained, fearing Luo Ziling might not understand the relevant commercial information, and elaborated on it for him.
Ouyang Feifei’s plan was this: to have the pharmaceutical company under her name introduce a drug or a health and skincare product, marketed with the banner of being prepared with a secret ancestral recipe, using the Ouyang Family’s strong commercial channels to reach the market and see what effect it would have.
“Who knows, the launch of one product might achieve astonishing success,” Ouyang Feifei said with a laugh after explaining at length, “By then, it will surprise everyone.”
“`
One could say that this several-minute explanation far surpassed the duration and amount of words Ouyang Feifei used to speak at once. Luo Ziling was quite surprised, wondering how this woman could suddenly say so much at once.
Seeing the surprise on Luo Ziling’s face, Ouyang Feifei thought he was stunned by her plan and asked with a smile, “What do you think?”
“I thought you would never say so much at once,” Luo Ziling expressed his astonishment.
Caught off guard as she had just taken a sip of tea, Ouyang Feifei nearly choked and glared angrily at Luo Ziling before falling silent again.
Seeing that Ouyang Feifei was a bit annoyed, Luo Ziling knew he had wounded her pride and quickly added, “I think what you proposed is feasible.”
Ouyang Feifei still didn’t say much, just quietly observed Luo Ziling, waiting for him to say more.
“I need to use the restroom,” said Luo Ziling, unable to withstand the intensity of Ouyang Feifei’s gaze, as he got up and escaped into the bathroom.
During the few minutes he spent in the restroom, he made a decision to take out an improved medical formula for an allergy medication that could adjust female hormone levels to alleviate allergic reactions, offering it to Ouyang Feifei for her to produce as a pharmaceutical product.
The reason he considered this was because the last time he treated Ouyang Feifei, he had written a prescription related to the treatment of such diseases for her. Even if he stopped providing prescriptions, Ouyang Feifei could still use the formula he had written before to produce medication—of course, assuming Ouyang Feifei had kept the prescription he had written.
Unexpectedly, Luo Ziling made a decision after a quick trip to the restroom, which slightly surprised Ouyang Feifei, but she calmly said, “Good, we can sign a cooperation agreement another day. In your personal capacity, you could sign a cooperation agreement with one of the Ouyang Family’s enterprises. Rest assured, we will definitely maximize your interests.”
“That’s not important,” Luo Ziling shook his head a bit sheepishly, “I don’t mind about that.”
“What do you care about then?” Ouyang Feifei looked at him with clear eyes, as if trying to see through his thoughts.
“All I ask is to ensure the accuracy of the formula’s composition and the quality of the ingredients. Once it becomes a product, the quality of the medicine has to be assured,” Luo Ziling said with a bit more confidence, staring directly at Ouyang Feifei. “I hope you can guarantee this, because I don’t want to tarnish the reputation of my grandfather or myself.”
Ouyang Feifei nodded solemnly, “I can assure you of that. No one would dare to cut corners. We will definitely ensure the quality of the medication.”
“Then let’s use the prescription I wrote for you last time to make the anti-allergy medication. I can assure you, the medicine produced according to my formula will be more effective than many of the current hormone-containing allergy medications.”
The moment Ouyang Feifei heard Luo Ziling say that, she paused, immediately understanding the distrust in his words.
This young man was actually afraid she’d take his formula and manufacture the medication privately, which is why he offered that prescription for her to try producing the medication.
Realizing this, Ouyang Feifei felt immensely disappointed.
