BXBX NOVEL Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Strike First to Gain the Advantage!
But what could be done now?
The invitations to the press conference, as well as the invited media reporters, had already arrived at the venue. Regardless of the quality of the product, something had to be presented at today's conference.
"Meeting adjourned!" Su Yixue rubbed her head wearily. Choosing Ye Fan was one thing, and her own dignity was another, but if she really drove the Su Corporation into the abyss, she would still feel somewhat remorseful.
"President Su, Director Xia is here, along with Young Master Ye and Mr. Lei. They've all arrived!" While Su Yixue was making final preparations in her office, she suddenly heard her secretary's greeting. "Mr. Lei said he has good news for President Su!"
"Hmm?"
Su Yixue was startled. Lei Qianjue was the Great Xia Medical Saint, who had previously contributed many good and affordable prescriptions to the people.
Could it be that the Divine Doctor had some prescriptions in hand?
Specifically to help her?
But why would Divine Doctor Lei, a renowned figure in Great Xia, want to help her?
Because of her elder sister Yu Linglong, or because of Ye Fan?
After all, Xia Hao had come to help her unconditionally because of Ye Fan!
Su Yixue couldn't help but recall what Yu Linglong had said – perhaps Ye Fan really had awakened and was just playing dumb in front of everyone?
If that was the case, it would be truly embarrassing. She had been guiding Ye Fan like that just the night before yesterday, and before that, she had been Young Master Ye's sister-in-law!
"Quickly invite them in!"
...
Half an hour later, Su Corporation's press conference officially started!
The press conference venue was in the largest multimedia hall on the first floor of Su Corporation's building!
A seat size that could hold several thousand people was, surprisingly, filled to capacity.
There were representatives from the pharmaceutical industry, channel suppliers, competitors, and some collaborators.
Of course, there were also many representatives of families and agents of power who had come to enjoy the spectacle.
Everyone knew that after the Ye Family's disaster, Su Yixue was one of the seven girls who had announced their continued intention to marry into the Ye Family. Everyone understood that those who opposed the Ye Family would not just let matters rest.
If the Su Family dared to get close with the Ye Family, then the opponents would definitely take action and target the Su Corporation.
Assassinating Su Yixue and stealing Su Corporation's core pharmaceutical formulas were among their tactics.
Although the news was blocked, it wasn't difficult for those super-families to find out.
Su Yixue had narrowly escaped an assassination attempt the day before, so now with the Su Corporation's core formulas already exposed and prematurely released, what could Su Corporation do?
Would the press conference of the Su Corporation proceed smoothly? Would the Li Family create trouble on site?
The gazes of the crowd inevitably turned toward a designated seating area in the front, where a separate area was occupied by the head of the Li Family, Li Zhong, who sat with a large group of people, looking serious with a computer in front of him.
However, a hint of contempt could be seen on their faces, as if they held all the winning cards.
Apart from the members of the Li Family, the Liu Family from the Provincial City had also sent representatives, who from time to time exchanged words with Li Zhong, seemingly discussing something, appearing quite self-satisfied.
Many others in the venue had come for the spectacle, to wait and see!
They wanted to see how the Su Corporation would respond, as well as the Ye Family's support for the Su Corporation.
On the surface, it appeared to be Su Corporation's drug release event, a confrontation between the Li Family and the Su Family, but in reality, it was a clash between the Ye Family and their adversaries behind the scenes.
"Welcome to the Su Corporation's new drug release event! Please be quiet, ladies and gentlemen, the event is about to begin!" The host greeted everyone and welcomed the representatives who had arrived.
To the shock of everyone present, not only had Xia Hao come to oversee the event!
The Governor of Cloud City, Sun Qian, was there, as was Patriarch Wang, who was on good terms with the Ye Family, along with many other retired heavyweights who had made impromptu appearances. These heavy hitters commanded great prestige and status throughout Tiannan Province and the Southwestern Region!
Never having participated in a commercial event before, their presence at the Su Corporation's event clearly signified support for the Su Family and an endorsement for the Ye Family!
Of course, many of them were the heavyweights whom Lei Qianjue had called out for drinks the previous night.
The sudden appearance of so many heavyweights lent an eerie atmosphere to the setting.
The drama unfolding today seemed to be getting more and more spectacular.
What was originally a small drug release had seemingly become a decisive moment.
Unknown to the others, in a corner at the back row, Old Master Ye, Ye Changfeng, sat quietly with his escorts, wearing a hat.
At such a critical moment, Su Yixue did not hesitate to step forward to salvage the reputation of the Ye Family.
So naturally, when his daughter-in-law held an event, Old Master Ye was also there to take charge.
He wanted to see who would dare cause trouble at today's event.
Old Master Ye might have aged, but his authority remained intact. Many of his old military subordinates had been promoted by him!
As long as Old Master Ye was alive, those obligations remained.
When push came to shove, Ye Changfeng's subordinates would still step forward without hesitation.
"Good morning, everyone. Thank you for taking the time to join us. I am Su Yixue, President of Su Corporation! I'm sure you have all heard about the release of Su Corporation's new drug. By a stroke of luck, Cloud City Li Group, somehow, also began to secretly research a Beauty Rejuvenation Pill, which is virtually identical in efficacy to Su Corporation's, and they just happened to hold a release event yesterday..."
As Su Yixue spoke, she turned her gaze towards Li Zhong and others in the audience.
The Li Family's release event had been broadcasted live all over the network through the media yesterday. Most people knew about it, and many were well aware that though the Li Family was engaged in the pharmaceutical industry, they had never been involved in the beauty industry or had any research department. How could they possibly develop a new Beauty Rejuvenation Pill in such a short time?
It was hardly a secret that the Li Family's formula was stolen from Su Corporation.
Everyone was there to see the spectacle, wanting to see how Su Corporation would dodge or address the issue!
And how would the Li Family cause trouble during Su Corporation's release event?
Su Yixue was smart, not waiting for the Li Family to speak first but instead brought up the issue herself. Although most people were aware of the matter, there were some who did not know, and Su Yixue's actions, at the very least, informed those unaware of the Li Family's despicable acts so they wouldn't be inadvertently swayed by the rhythm.
On the other hand, by taking the offensive, Su Yixue immediately put the Li Family on the defensive.
Li Zhong and the representatives of the Liu Family below were instantly confused!
Why wasn't Su Yixue following the script?
Under normal circumstances, shouldn't Su Yixue announce the composition, efficacy, and patent data of her new drug on stage, and then start questioning?
But now, Su Yixue had turned her guns on the Li Family right from the start!
A preemptive strike?
What gave Su Yixue the right?
Was this an attempt to flip the table directly?
Where did she get the courage?
