CHAPTER 238: CHAPTER 0238: DELAYING TACTICS_1

"Hahaha... Honey, I was just teasing," Zhang Bin grinned playfully. "Just watch me strut my stuff. I’ll have them all beating a hasty retreat in no time."

"Then I shall wait and see," Liu Ruolan replied, her pretty face blooming with a radiant smile as captivating as a field of flowers in full blossom.

Zhang Bin took Liu Ruolan’s hand and, escorted by a throng of beautiful female employees, made his way to the rooftop.

Before he could even speak, the multitude of women below spotted him, and a wave of excitement and agitation swept through the crowd.

"Zhang Bin is here! Look, he’s on the rooftop!"

"We have to make him give us the breast enhancement medicine today, or we won’t let him off the hook!"

"Zhang Bin, give us breast enhancements!"

"Zhang Bin, I want a breast enhancement!"

"Bring out the breast enhancement medicine! Money is no object!"

"..."

The cacophony of overlapping voices nearly burst Zhang Bin’s eardrums.

"What in the world kind of creatures are women?" Zhang Bin was exasperated. He raised his hands to gesture for quiet and took a deep breath. "Ladies, I am Zhang Bin! Please calm down and listen to what I have to say!"

"We want breast enhancements!"

A look of victory appeared on the women’s faces. They shouted their demand several more times before finally falling silent.

Zhang Bin plied them with his silver tongue. "Ladies, I, Zhang Bin, have always hoped that you could all become even more beautiful and captivating. It would make the world a much lovelier place. That’s why I’ve been working tirelessly, forgetting to eat or sleep, while researching the breast enhancement medicine. Not long ago, I finally developed a suitable formula. However, it requires a variety of precious medicinal ingredients, so only a very limited supply could be produced. After Heavenly Queen Zhu Danyan used it, there was none left. I am currently in the process of cultivating and acquiring the necessary ingredients, as well as fine-tuning the production line. I also still need to obtain a sales permit. All of these things take time. But please, trust me, in no more than two months, Wenwu Pharma’s breast enhancement medicine will be available in large quantities. Can you all please wait patiently for another two months?"

He was stalling for time.

Give me one month, and I can get the lab set up. Give me another month, and I’m confident I can develop the breast enhancement medicine. If time gets tight, I’ll just have to find another excuse to delay. At the very least, this will get me through the immediate crisis.

However, the women were still not satisfied. They continued to shout from below, unwilling to leave, each of them looking as if they couldn’t wait another second to get their chests enhanced.

"Ladies, I promise you, in two months, you’ll all be bombshells that will leave any man gobsmacked!" Zhang Bin shouted fervently, making a lewd cupping gesture with his hands. "But if you keep loitering here and delaying our company’s work, then I can’t guarantee it will be ready in two months!"

The threat worked. Fearful of hindering Wenwu Pharma and delaying the product’s launch, the throng of women dispersed after shouting a few final warnings at Zhang Bin.

"Women are terrifying. I’ve certainly learned my lesson today."

Zhang Bin collapsed onto the ground, utterly exhausted.

GIGGLE...

Seeing his disheveled state, the beautiful employees burst into delicate, trembling laughter.

A flower-like smile also graced Liu Ruolan’s face. She knew that in no more than two months, Zhang Bin would successfully develop the breast enhancement medicine, adding another stream of revenue to the company.

Ever since learning that Zhang Bin’s cultivation required Spiritual Medicine over five hundred years old, and that only the powerful and wealthy could attend the Hero Auction, she had become even more eager to amass a vast fortune. It would allow Zhang Bin to cultivate without any constraints, enabling him to grow stronger quickly. Perhaps one day, he could even reach the Golden Core Stage, enjoy a long and happy life, and find even greater joy.

Zhang Bin didn’t linger at the company. After chatting a bit longer with Liu Ruolan in the office, he drove back to Sanchahe Village.

There, he saw a breathtakingly beautiful woman sitting on a chair outside his villa, seemingly waiting for him.

Without a doubt, this beauty was Su Man. Today, she was dressed to be exceptionally beautiful and tempting: black hair, a white dress, black stockings, and red high heels. She looked just like a fairy from the Immortal Realm.

Don’t tell me Su Man came to seduce me today? There’s no way I can resist such a temptation! As Zhang Bin got out of the car, his intoxicated gaze fell upon Su Man, his face a mask of pure admiration.

Seeing Zhang Bin return, Su Man approached, exuding a seductive fragrance. "Xiao Bin, you’re back," she said coquettishly. "I came today to discuss the purchase of your family’s winter melons."

A winter melon vine planted by Father Zhang had first borne two incredibly huge melons, and later, five more. Now, seven winter melons stood in the vegetable patch like seven small mountains.

The skins of the two largest melons had turned white, as if covered in frost, and they had stopped growing. Clearly, they were ripe and ready for sale.

Manager Wu, who was in charge of procurement, had already reported on the melons to Su Man, and she had been eyeing them for some time. Zhang Bin’s vegetables were in such high demand that they sold out instantly, even at exorbitant prices. The only drawback was the low quantity, with a daily supply of only two to three hundred pounds. However, cultivating a large number of winter melons could be the breakthrough they needed. Because a single winter melon could weigh several tons, cultivating dozens or even hundreds of them could provide a supply volume that would otherwise require a massive amount of smaller vegetables.

"These winter melons..." Zhang Bin hesitated.

"Manager Wu already made an agreement with your dad. The winter melons are to be sold only to our Qingshan Hotel Group," Su Man said anxiously, afraid he might refuse to sell them to her.

"That’s not what I mean," Zhang Bin said seriously. "I mean we have to taste them first to see if there’s anything wrong. If there’s a problem, of course, they can’t be sold."

Winter melons cultivated with Spiritual Water would obviously not have any problems. On the contrary, he was worried about the opposite. After being nourished by Spiritual Water for nearly two months, consuming them might produce significant health benefits. That, in turn, could lead to a series of unforeseen consequences. He needed to find out in advance to be prepared. Most importantly, this would also give him the perfect justification to raise the price.

"Mm-hmm, you’re right. We have to taste them first," Su Man said, letting out a sigh of relief.

"The lumps in your chest should be gone by now, right?" Zhang Bin asked with deep concern, his burning gaze landing on her chest, which seemed ready to burst from her clothing.

One couldn’t blame him for being lecherous; it was just that Su Man’s twin peaks were far too magnificent.

"The lumps are completely gone, and there’s no pain at all. They feel very comfortable to the touch," Su Man said shyly.

"Comfortable to the touch?" Zhang Bin’s heart pounded, but he maintained a serious expression. "Still, you have to be careful. I’ll give you another check-up later."

Su Man blushed so hard her ears turned red. She was beginning to suspect that Zhang Bin’s offer to "check" her was just an excuse—that he simply liked... those two places. Her first instinct was to refuse, but then she remembered what Zhu Danyan had told her: that she had to fight for her own happiness. With that, she changed her mind. She shyly nodded and gave Zhang Bin a look full of allure.

Zhang Bin felt a jolt, as if he’d been electrocuted. He immediately started pulling Su Man toward the room, but she resisted, protesting playfully, "Your dad and the others are trying to figure out how to move the winter melons. Shouldn’t you go take a look first?"
