Chapter 108: The Beauty Elixir Recipe

“Don’t worry, it won’t happen,” Lin Feng replied firmly. Then he added, “I’ll call Director Shen right now and ask her to come over so we can discuss our strategy together.”

“What? You want Director Shen to come here? No, no, that won’t do. She’s someone important; I should go find her instead,” Su Qingxue quickly shook her head in refusal.

Although she knew Lin Feng had saved Director Shen’s mother, that didn’t guarantee Shen would be willing to help—after all, they had already settled matters through cooperation before.

Lin Feng, however, wasn’t concerned and said plainly, “No need to go over. Just wait for me in the office.”

“But—”

Before Su Qingxue could continue, Lin Feng had already taken out his phone and stepped aside to call Shen Yanyan.

When Shen Yanyan saw Lin Feng’s number, she quickly answered with respect, “Mr. Lin, may I ask what you need?”

“It’s like this: last night, Integrity Bank launched a new financial product. Have you heard about it?”

Lin Feng straightforwardly explained everything over the phone.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanyan’s expression suddenly grew serious. “Yes, I’ve heard. They’re holding a launch event this afternoon. I never expected that their move was actually aimed at targeting Su Bank.”

“Mr. Lin, rest assured, anyone who goes against Su Bank in Jiangcheng is going against me, Shen Yanyan. I’ll head over to see President Su shortly and discuss a plan with her.”

“Alright, I’ll be waiting for you at Su Bank.”

After hanging up, Lin Feng returned to Su Qingxue’s office to find her.

She was pacing anxiously. Seeing him, she immediately asked, “Lin Feng, how’s it going? What did Director Shen say?”

“She’ll be here soon. Don’t worry. Su Bank will be fine this time,” Lin Feng reassured her.

“I hope so. Lin Feng, I’m really grateful to you. Without you, Su Bank would have collapsed long ago,” Su Qingxue said with heartfelt thanks.

Lin Feng smiled faintly, saying little. To him, it was Su Qingxue who deserved gratitude. Without her, he probably wouldn’t have been able to resolve even Qin Meng’s issue.

Ten minutes later, Shen Yanyan entered, looking worried. Spotting Lin Feng and Su Qingxue, she came forward and greeted them politely, “Hello, President Su, Mr. Lin.”

“Director Shen, you’re here. Please, have a seat,” Su Qingxue said with a smile, ushering her to sit down.

Shen Yanyan glanced at Lin Feng, and seeing his nod of approval, she smiled and took a seat. Then she pulled out a contract from her bag and said, “President Su, please don’t worry. I’ve heard about your bank’s situation. On my way here, I also contacted several companies in the provincial capital. They are willing to lend their support.”

“What? Companies from the provincial capital want to help us?” Su Qingxue was pleasantly surprised, quickly asking for details.

“Yes. Jiangcheng banks usually have close partnerships with several financial firms, pharmaceutical companies, and real estate developers in the provincial capital. Many of them are friends or classmates of my father. One call from me, and they’ll assist.”

Shen Yanyan’s explanation was like a soothing balm for Su Qingxue’s anxious heart.

Overwhelmed with gratitude, Su Qingxue thanked Shen Yanyan repeatedly. She wasn’t sure what to say—this help was invaluable.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Shen Yanyan’s expression grew serious. “Although I have merchants willing to cooperate, beating Integrity Bank directly won’t be easy.”

“I’ve learned that the financial product they’re launching is tied to a new pharmaceutical formula developed by a provincial capital-based company. This formula has attracted countless wealthy investors from Jiangcheng and across the province, and they are expected to invest heavily.”

“The reason they’re willing to invest in this product is because of this new drug. While our product has its strengths, how many investors will actually pay big money for our financial product remains uncertain.”

“If we lose this battle, it will be very difficult to compete with Integrity Bank in the future.”

“A new drug formula? What kind of formula?” Lin Feng asked, intrigued.

“It’s a beauty formula, developed by dozens of renowned medical professors from home and abroad. Taking this drug can keep a person youthful, preventing aging for ten years,” Shen Yanyan explained.

“Is that so?”

Lin Feng smiled slightly. So their secret weapon was a medicinal formula.

Perfect—it played right into his hands.

A mere beauty formula was a trivial matter for him.

“Mr. Lin, what are you thinking? Do you have a plan to counter them?” Shen Yanyan asked curiously, noticing his thoughtful expression.

“Yes. They have their beauty formula, but I happen to have one too—and it’s a hundred times more effective. My formula not only preserves youth but can actually reverse aging.”

“What? Reverse aging?”

Both Shen Yanyan and Su Qingxue showed expressions of surprise.

Lin Feng smiled calmly. “That’s right. I can share this formula for free, but I need Director Shen to do me a favor: help me contact a large pharmaceutical company to strictly follow my recipe and develop the medicine.”

“And it must produce a sample bottle within one morning.”

“No problem. I know several chairpersons of pharmaceutical companies in the provincial capital. As long as you provide the formula, any one of them can do it,” Shen Yanyan responded excitedly.

“Good, then I’ll leave this to you, Director Shen,” Lin Feng said composedly.

After seeing Shen Yanyan off, Su Qingxue stared at Lin Feng in amazement. “Lin Feng, do you really have such a powerful formula? Integrity Bank’s formula was developed by dozens of famous professors.”

“That’s nothing. Just wait and see,” Lin Feng said with a confident smile. He then wrote out the detailed pharmaceutical formula and sent it to Shen Yanyan via his phone.

Shen Yanyan quickly contacted the pharmaceutical companies in the provincial capital and forwarded the formula, urging them to develop it rapidly.

The morning passed swiftly.

At exactly three in the afternoon, the grand hall of Jiangcheng Grand Hotel was filled with luminaries of the financial world, all patiently awaiting the arrival of Pang Deqing from Integrity Bank.

News of Integrity Bank’s anti-aging formula had drawn a crowd eager to witness the event.

If they could buy a bottle of this miraculous medicine through investing in a financial product, it would be a tremendous profit.

“Who would have thought Jiangcheng’s financial circle could produce a genius like President Pang? He truly brings glory to our city.”

“Indeed. I never paid much attention to Integrity Bank before, but from today on, it will be my model. Whatever business I handle in the future, I’ll go through Integrity Bank.”

The crowd buzzed, praising Integrity Bank’s greatness.

This left representatives from other major banks utterly embarrassed.

Though inwardly frustrated, they had no choice—Integrity Bank had just dealt a decisive blow.

Among the crowd, Lin Feng stood with calm composure, his face free of any worry.
