Lu Ming was still making his final 'struggle', persuading, "Meng Xin, just believe me this once, there's really something wrong with this formula!"
His sincerity received no reward.
Jiang Meng Xin looked at Lu Ming coldly and said proudly, "Whatever the problem, I, Jiang Meng Xin, will bear it alone! Lu Ming, don't think that because you've helped me a few times, you can push your luck and control everything of mine. Let me tell you, I am the CEO of the Jiang family! This time, I'll show you how Jiang Meng Xin handles projects and makes money for the Jiang family!"
With things having reached this point, further words were futile.
Jiang Meng Xin waved her hand, "All departments, return immediately and formulate production plans. Seize all opportunities, and begin producing the 'Meng Yuan' product first thing tomorrow morning!"
She wanted to get the product out before Rong Yan.
She wanted to be the rightful one.
Soon, everyone in the conference room had left, each going to formulate their production plans and cooperate with each other.
Only Jiang Lan and Lu Ming remained.
In the empty conference room, the two of them sat close together.
Jiang Lan spoke first, "Lu Ming, I believe you."
Lu Ming glanced at Jiang Lan and sighed slightly, "Your belief is useless, you're not the CEO of the Jiang family. Meng Xin doesn't listen to a word I say, and even wants to go against me, alas..."
Jiang Lan also frowned.
She said, "If the formula truly has issues, the Jiang family will suffer a huge financial loss and their reputation will be damaged. At that time, Sister will surely be forced to step down. Then, Grand Uncle can logically take the CEO position."
For the CEO position, Jiang An Zhi was actually using the Jiang family's future and reputation as a gamble, it was disgusting.
Jiang Lan worried, "At that time, the Jiang family will be ruined! Lu Ming, we absolutely cannot allow this to happen, we must stop him!"
But how to stop him?
Lu Ming narrowed his eyes and quickly came up with an idea.
He said, "False is true, and true is false. Jiang An Zhi created a fake formula, perhaps we can replace that fake formula with a real one. Then Meng Xin will produce the product according to the real formula, and there will be no problem, right?"
Jiang Lan nodded repeatedly, "That's a great idea! But... where do we get a real formula?"
Lu Ming asked, "Do you have paper and pen?"
"Yes!"
"Lend me some."
"Okay."
Lu Ming took the paper and pen and wrote down the formula from memory. Although he had only glanced at it once, Lu Ming's memory was incredibly strong, and he had completely memorized it.
He re-analyzed the formula.
Soon, he smiled.
Lu Ming crossed out several medicinal ingredients, replaced them with others, and adjusted some dosages.
"With this, the product produced will not only have no side effects, but will also have the effect of clearing the mind, brightening the eyes, and whitening the skin!"
He said, "Jiang Lan, I'll trouble you. Using paper of the same material as Meng Xin's formula, print out this formula! Then, I will go and replace it."
"Okay! I'll do it right away." Jiang Lan took the formula and went to work.
The two of them cooperated very tacitly.
There was no need for much talk, they knew what needed to be done.
If Jiang Lan were the CEO of the Jiang family, if Lu Ming were engaged to Jiang Lan, if Jiang Lan were Lu Ming's fiancée, then everything would have been much simpler and easier.
Protecting the Jiang family would have become a very easy task.
It was just a pity that the CEO of the Jiang family was Jiang Meng Xin.
Soon, Jiang Lan returned with a brand new formula. The size and material of the paper were exactly the same as Jiang Meng Xin's original.
Jiang Lan asked, "What's next?"
Lu Ming said, "Find an excuse to lure Meng Xin out, and I'll go replace the formula."
"No problem."
Jiang Lan immediately called Jiang Meng Xin and persistently asked her to go out for a late-night snack with her.
After the two women left.
Lu Ming quietly arrived at Jiang Meng Xin's office. The door was locked, but for Lu Ming, it was nothing.
A toothpick was all it took to successfully pick the lock.
Lu Ming walked to the safe, performed the same operation, and opened the safe.
Then.
He replaced the formula in the safe.
After completing all this, Lu Ming muttered to himself, "Jiang An Zhi, no matter what tricks you play, I'll see it through to the end!"
...
At the same time.
Jiang An Zhi was still unaware of the miraculous operations of Lu Ming and Jiang Lan, and was merely immersed in his own perfect plan.
He laughed maniacally, "Jiang Meng Xin, Jiang Meng Xin, you truly are shallow-minded! If I really had a profitable project, would I leave it to you? What a pipe dream! Just wait, as soon as the Meng Yuan product is launched, it will cause a huge uproar. At that time, the CEO position of the Jiang family will be mine!"
His son, Jiang Yang, came over with a wine glass.
"Dad, your son congratulates you in advance on ascending to the CEO position of the Jiang family. When that time comes, promote me a little too."
Jiang An Zhi took the wine glass from Jiang Yang and smiled, "Of course, when I become CEO, how can I treat you unfairly? Good son, from now on, the Jiang family will be our dominion! My grassland, my horse, I'll do as I please."
Father and son clinked glasses repeatedly, immersed in immense joy.
It seemed as if the Jiang family was already within their grasp.
...
The production of the product went very smoothly. In one month, the first batch of Meng Yuan was completed and offline sales began.
The Jiang family carried out comprehensive advertising and packaging for this batch of products.
Almost everyone in Jinling knew that the Jiang family had developed a brand new skincare product.
On the day of sales.
Jiang family high-ranking officials all attended.
Jiang Meng Xin stood on stage and began her inspiring speech.
Jiang An Zhi, Jiang Yang, Jiang Lan, Lu Ming, and others watched from below, each with their own thoughts.
Jiang An Zhi looked at Jiang Meng Xin on stage with a sinister gaze and muttered to himself, "Let's see how long you can be smug! In a while, when customers use the product and the side effects appear, you'll be crying!"
Jiang Yang also secretly rejoiced, waiting to be promoted and get rich.
Only Jiang Lan and Lu Ming knew the whole truth and sat unmoved.
Soon, Jiang Meng Xin's speech concluded.
The first batch of sales began.
Numerous customers at the scene were in a frenzy of buying, and soon, the first batch of goods was sold out.
Many customers couldn't wait to get home and started using the product on the spot.
Watching those customers open the product packaging one after another and apply Meng Yuan to their faces, Jiang An Zhi was overjoyed, almost jumping up to cheer: The CEO of the Jiang family is mine!
The customers had all applied it.
Ten minutes passed.
Twenty minutes passed.
Half an hour passed.
The situation was not as Jiang An Zhi had imagined. He had expected customers' skin to be burned, leading to a scene of destruction.
But the reality was... the product's effect was excellent!
The customers were very satisfied!
"W-what's going on?" Jiang An Zhi was completely dumbfounded, not knowing where the problem had occurred. "The product works well? It-it shouldn't be like this."
