Chapter 169 What exactly is she trying to do?
On the other side of the booth, outside the crowded area.
Red Lavoisier stood in a relatively secluded corner, his icy blue eyes like the most sophisticated instruments, calmly assessing the bustling scene at the China booth, especially Gu Baobao, who remained composed despite being surrounded by crowds.
His fingers unconsciously caressed the cufflinks of his suit, and the interest in his eyes had become so intense that it bordered on possessiveness.
Such a girl represents not only miraculous medical skills, but also an immeasurable influence and commercial value.
If I could control her...
Behind him, Paul appeared silently and reported in a low voice in German:
"Sir, in the lab, the preliminary animal testing of Gu Ningbao's Nine-Turn Vitality Powder is complete. The data shows that the short-term energy boost and euphoria effects are very significant, far exceeding those of conventional stimulants."
However… agitation and preliminary signs of dependency were observed in the laboratory mice. Long-term safety remains questionable.
Lavoisier's lips curled into a cold smile.
Significant short-term effects?
That's enough.
What he wanted was not some long-term safe health product.
What he wanted was something that could immediately attract attention, generate buzz, and even... be used to challenge the girl on the other side.
As for Gu Ningbao?
That's the end of her value.
Once her work has played its final role...
"Notify her,"
Lavoisier didn't turn his head, his voice indifferent.
"Prepare the samples and promotional materials. Tomorrow, I want to see a special promotion of Jiu Zhuan Pei Yuan San on the other side of the exhibition. Tell her this is her last chance."
"yes."
Paul withdrew in response.
Lavoisier took one last look at Gu Baobao, who was surrounded by orders and praise, then turned and disappeared silently into the crowd.
The real show has only just begun.
By the end of the exhibition that day, everyone in the Chinese delegation was exhausted, but their eyes were burning with excitement.
Preliminary statistics show that the amount of intended drug orders reached today alone has reached an astonishing figure.
Not to mention the several preliminary agreements to exchange drug quotas for key technologies or resource access. This is a major breakthrough in both diplomacy and trade!
Back at the hotel, Sui Jianguo urgently convened a small meeting with key personnel.
Along with the excitement came worries.
"Today went too smoothly, so smoothly that it made me a little nervous."
Sui Jianguo rubbed his temples.
"The bigger the tree, the more the wind blows. Today, we've practically etched the words 'high price,' 'scarcity,' and 'technological barriers' onto our foreheads. There are bound to be many envious people. I reckon things won't be so peaceful tomorrow."
He looked at Gu Baobao:
"Comrade Bao, you did a fantastic job today, you really put up a good stabilizing force. But from now on, you need to be even more careful. Comrade Lu Zhanming,"
He then looked at Lu Zhanming.
"All the pressure is on you."
Lu Zhanming responded in a deep voice:
"clear."
After the meeting, Gu Baobao and Lu Zhanming returned to their room.
Just as Gu Baobao was about to tell Lu Zhanming about her joy at the surge in merit points she had accumulated that day, there was a gentle knock on the door.
The visitors were Kang Ningfan and Du Lan, along with their son Kang Zijian, who was out of danger but in relatively good spirits, though his face was pale.
They came specifically to express their gratitude and brought generous gifts, which Gu Baobao firmly declined, citing her duty as a doctor.
But Kang Ningfan insisted on leaving behind a personal business card and a promise:
"Dr. Gu, I am deeply grateful. Please keep this business card. Anytime, anywhere, as long as it is within the Kang family's power, we will never refuse."
Furthermore, regarding certain resources through special channels required by your delegation, I have contacted several friends who might be able to assist.
This is real, heavyweight connections and resources.
Upon learning this, Sui Jianguo was so overjoyed he almost slapped his thigh.
After seeing the Kang family off, Gu Baobao was finally able to sit down and catch her breath.
Lu Zhanming had dinner brought in, and the two ate in silence, enjoying the brief calm before the storm.
However, this tranquility was completely shattered the following morning.
The third day of the exhibition.
The Huaxia booth remained bustling with people, and order negotiations continued.
But around 10 a.m., a strange wind began to blow through the exhibition hall.
"Have you heard? Over there, around the corner in Zone B, a new booth has opened, selling health pills! They're supposedly made with a secret formula from an ancient Eastern family, with immediate effects, and the price is only half of what they cost in China!"
"Really? It's also called a health-preserving pill?"
"Why don't you go and see for yourself?"
Many people were attracted by the low prices and began to divert traffic.
Soon, more accurate information came back:
The new booth was hosted by a Chinese woman named Su Ning, who claimed to be a descendant of a reclusive family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.
The Nine-Turn Nourishing Powder they brought is the true essence of an ancient formula. After trying it on the spot, you can feel energetic and happy within ten minutes.
The price is only 60% of that of Gu Baobao's Nourishing and Strengthening Pills.
The combination of low price and immediate results is incredibly attractive.
At the Huaxia booth, some customers who were originally queuing or hesitating began to waver and whisper among themselves.
Even several company representatives who had already placed orders rushed over, asking evasively if they could reconsider or change the order quantity.
Sui Jianguo's face darkened.
He immediately sent people to find out the details.
The feedback was alarming:
That Su Ning was none other than Su Xiaoyu!
The Nine-Turn Vitality Powder she was promoting had simple packaging, but some people on site did experience a brief period of euphoria after trying it.
"Malicious competition! This is blatant plagiarism and dumping!"
"A young comrade said angrily."
Gu Baobao sat behind the booth, listening to the report, feeling more shocked than angry.
Nine-Turn Qi-Nourishing Powder… that name… and Su Xiaoyu’s suddenly changed demeanor and eyes…
A chilling guess suddenly popped into her head.
Could it be... that her cousin Gu Ningbao, who was determined to kill her during the lab explosion and ultimately perished with her... has also transmigrated?
And it even possessed Su Xiaoyu's body?
[Defu!]
She immediately cried out in her heart,
[Scan that Su Xiaoyu! No, Su Ning! Focus on scanning for soul fluctuations and residual consciousness!]
[Received! Initiating high-precision scan... Warning: The target appears to be wearing some kind of energy-interference accessory; scan stalled... Analyzing residual fluctuations...]
Host, the soul wavelength in Su Xiaoyu's body is extremely unstable, with obvious signs of rejection and overwriting. The possibility of a transmigrator possessing her is as high as 87%!
Furthermore, their fluctuations in consciousness detected extremely strong resentment and jealousy towards you, reminiscent of past life memories!
Defu's voice turned serious.
Gu Baobao's heart sank to the bottom.
It really is her!
Gu Ningbao, who used every means possible in her past life, even going so far as to detonate the laboratory to drag her down with her!
Why would she come?
Does it still carry a vague memory of the Nine-Turn Nourishing Essence Powder?
What exactly is she trying to do?
