"What error?" The staff member was even more confused.
They had just checked it.
There were no issues.
Lin Li gritted his teeth and asked, "You're neglecting your duties and still acting stubborn! Then let me ask you, why is there an error in the number of buyers for the stomach cancer specific drug? It was clearly in the thousands or tens of thousands, but it's abruptly dropped to single digits!"
The staff member frowned.
He opened his computer to check.
His expression became complicated. "Chairman, is it possible that this is actually the real number of buyers?"
"Impossible! The registered number of buyers was over two hundred thousand. When it comes time to pay, how could there be a mere single-digit number of people?"
Staff member: "...Boss, there really is no error on my end. The number of buyers is indeed in the single digits. No, wait, it's at zero now."
Lin Li turned his head to look.
Sure enough, he saw a massive '0' on the computer screen!
Everyone had actually refunded their orders!
"How is this possible? How can this be?" Lin Li muttered to himself.
It was absolutely impossible.
How could their specific drug sell so poorly?
Lin Xuan calmly continued sitting at the table, sipping his tea.
Lei Hui and Butler Wang both wore expressions of eager spectators.
"What a great show," Butler Wang sighed with emotion.
"Isn't it just?" Lei Hui smiled. "The drama our boss produces is always top-tier."
A reporter looked down at his phone.
"Look at this! The press conference held by Shangqing University is actually a launch event for a stomach cancer specific drug too!" he shouted, his face full of astonishment.
Hearing this, everyone else present took out their phones one after another.
"It really is! My god, the stomach cancer drug was actually developed by the team led by Lin Xuan! This is truly shocking."
"Yeah, and this drug is covered by national medical insurance. It's priced at only thirty thousand yuan a bottle. Using this drug developed by Shangqing University is several times cheaper than the one developed by Lin Li's company."
"No wonder no one is buying Lin Li's drug. With a price difference of hundreds of thousands, who would buy it? Plus, Shangqing University's drug has been certified by the Healthcare Security Administration and has undergone trials. The results are indeed astounding!"
The Lin family members were all dumbfounded.
"This is impossible. This is impossible."
Lin Li shook his head.
His face was full of disbelief.
"How could this be possible? Lin Xuan knows absolutely nothing about medicine, and those R&D members are just a bunch of ungraduated college students. How could they have developed a specific drug for stomach cancer?"
And selling it so cheaply, no less!
Lin Li pulled out his phone.
He saw the trending topics on Weibo.
He also saw Director Liu Fu of the Healthcare Security Administration.
"It's true, it's actually true..."
Smack—
Lin Li's phone slipped from his hand.
He slumped to the ground, his face pale.
He had originally wanted to use this stomach cancer drug to turn his fortunes around in one fell swoop.
This drug could have brought him tens of billions in profit.
As a result... he was undercut by the drug developed by the college student team led by Lin Xuan.
"This is impossible, how could this be?" Lin Li was still muttering to himself.
Now everything was over...
Not a single penny of the R&D money could be recovered.
The medicine he produced cost twenty thousand yuan a vial to make.
It was all down the drain. All of it.
The faces of the other Lin family members were all pale.
"Eldest Sister, is all the money we invested gone?" Lin Qingyan asked with a pale face.
Lin Qingwan also looked utterly devastated.
"Yes."
"Most of it is lost," Lin Qingwan nodded, murmuring.
Lin Qingyan uncontrollably slumped to the floor.
"It's over."
She had invested all the money she had saved over the years into Li'er.
That was two hundred million.
She had originally thought that once Li'er's company made money.
She would have Li'er as her backer.
Li'er would have the money to invest in her film and television projects and let her be the leading lady.
Or, she could invest the money in herself.
Now all her hopes were dashed...
All the color had drained from Lin Chang's face too.
"My billion-plus is going to be completely gone too."
Jiang Shuqin snapped back to her senses and charged at Lin Xuan.
"It's you."
"Lin Xuan, it's you, isn't it? You found out that Li'er's company was going to develop a stomach cancer drug, so you developed one too!"
"Lin Xuan, you're just here to go against our Lin family! You just don't want us to have a good life!"
"Don't forget, even though you severed ties with us, the blood of the Lin family still flows in your veins! Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for doing this?"
The way Jiang Shuqin looked at Lin Xuan, it was as if he were an irreconcilable enemy.
Lin Xuan smiled and shook his head.
He set down his teacup and stood up.
"Jiang Shuqin, your family treated me like that and you aren't afraid of being struck by lightning. Why would I be?"
"Furthermore, our Shangqing University team started researching the drug earlier than Lin Li's company. Lin Li walked right into the line of fire himself. You can't blame me for that."
The reporters nodded.
"That's not wrong. I remember Lin Xuan's team started working on the stomach cancer drug about a month earlier than Lin Li."
"Even if Lin Xuan started later than Lin Li's company, so what? Whoever develops something that is effective and cheap is the one with real skill."
It wasn't just the reporters.
The netizens were also fiercely defending Lin Xuan.
"Yeah, someone like Lin Xuan is a true good guy. Getting the drug covered by medical insurance so early and selling it so cheaply. He's nothing like Lin Li, who crazily sucks the blood of the patients."
"I blindly support Lin Xuan!"
"Right, didn't Lin Li say he'd welcome it if someone developed a drug that was better and cheaper than his? Now that someone actually has, he's changing his tune."
"I said from the beginning that Lin Li was a hypocrite, but you guys didn't believe me."
Jiang Shuqin's face was livid as she pointed at Lin Xuan and said, "Lin Xuan! You're still here twisting the truth! I truly regret giving birth to a son like you!"
Lin Xuan looked at Jiang Shuqin as if he were merely looking at a jumping clown.
He ignored her and withdrew his gaze from her.
His eyes landed on Lin Li.
"Lin Li, you originally thought you could rely on this stomach cancer drug to make a comeback. Now that your hopes are dashed, how do you feel?"
Lin Li gritted his teeth and stood up from the floor.
"Lin Xuan, let me tell you."
Lin Li said loudly, "I haven't lost yet! I still have a chance to turn things around!"
There was still the epidemic.
The epidemic was nationwide.
Therapeutic injections, preventive vaccines.
And testing kits.
These would all bring in massive revenue!
He could have Lei Liming develop these as quickly as possible.
Once the epidemic spread across the country, wouldn't he be able to make a fortune?
Lin Xuan curled his lips into a smile and said, "Lin Li, then I'll wait and see if you actually have this chance to turn things around like you claim."
