”Then... I'll go back to my room to sleep tonight. Take care of yourself, if you need anything, just let me know. ” Although the warmth of the night was about to be crushed, there was nothing that could be done about it.

”Alright.” With that, Gu Chen returned to his room.

Jane was holding her stomach, and now she felt some pain. She knew that the real pain had yet to come.

The first thing Jane did was to quickly lie down and warm the bed. Hopefully it will reduce some of the pain caused by dysmenorrhea.

This night, Jane was very tired. Her lower abdomen was in pain until the latter half of the night before she was able to calm down. It was also the latter half of the night when she was able to sleep peacefully.

When he woke up the next day, Gu Chen received a call from the company. He rushed to the company in the early morning.

Before he left, he did not forget to tell Mama Zhang to make Jane a cup of brown sugar water, which he had found on Baidu.

He said that the brown sugar water was good for the girls who came to his aunt's room. The next day, he hurriedly told his mother.

After saying that, she drove to the company. Jane had been working on her stomach all night and felt very tired when she woke up in the morning.

While she was still in a daze, she saw a cup of hot brown sugar water brought over by Mama Zhang.

”Thank you, Mrs Zhang. How did you know …” Jane asked curiously.

”This was instructed by Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu really cares about you.” Mrs Zhang said with a smile.

”Ah …” Yes... ”Is that so?” Jane was a little embarrassed as she said this, but Mrs Zhang could see that Jane's face was mostly filled with happiness.

”Then what about Mr. Gu? Why haven't we seen him this early in the morning?” As Jane spoke, she looked around.

”Mr. Gu left early in the morning. He said it's an important matter for the company.”

”Oh, I know, but thank you anyway, Mrs Zhang.” With that, Jane took the warm brown sugar water in her hand and went back to her bedroom.

Inside the company's office, Gu Chen was pacing back and forth with a frown on his face.

The emergency call early in the morning had summoned him back to the company. Before he sat down, he saw Gu Yuan walking in complacently.

”I heard good news early in the morning, but I didn't have the time to tell you. Younger brother, you have to congratulate me, Dad said I have to fund the company myself, and now I'm the CEO. Younger brother, don't you think there's something to congratulate me?” Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Chen. He stared intently at Gu Chen's expression, as if he wanted to see a trace of disappointment on Gu Chen's face to make him feel better.

”Starting a company? Hmph, can you do it, with your despicable methods? ” Gu Chen was infuriated.

”Means aren't important. As long as I can make the company operate successfully and improve day by day, wouldn't that be much better than someone with a 'conscience' like you? ”I'll ask Dad later whether you, Gu Chen, are truly the CEO of a company, or if I, who bring great benefits to the company, am more convincing to the public!” Gu Yuan slammed the door and left.

Gu Chen angrily picked up the phone, ”Father, it's me.”

”Little Chen, what's the matter?” his father asked calmly.

”Why did you contribute to Gu Yuan's company? You know how he got his cosmetics formulas!” Gu Chen excitedly raised his voice.

”How did they get their hands on it? If we don't admit it, no one will ever question us. If we push forward before the Lu family, no matter how much they resist, it will be useless.”

”Father, how can we do such a thing for such a small benefit? Is the benefit more important than the reputation of the company!”

”You don't need to say anymore. I have already decided on this. As long as there are benefits and money, I don't care about other things.” Saying that, his father mercilessly hung up the phone.

Listening to the busy tone on the other end of the line, Gu Chen was deeply saddened. He was once again disappointed in this family, this company.

In the days that followed, Gu Yuan began to buy out large quantities of medicinal herbs in preparation for the new company's formula. All the medicinal herb merchants in the market turned to Gu Yuan's company. When the Lu family started purchasing medicinal herbs, they discovered that the Gu family owned almost all of the medicinal herbs in the market.

”What!?” Why was there a sudden shortage of medicinal herbs! Someone else is purchasing this medicinal herb! ” When Lu Zhan Ming heard of this, he flew into a rage. He never thought that the herbs needed for the company's secret formula would be sold without restraint.

”It's a new company opened by Gu Yuan of the Gu Clan. According to our investigation, their company is about to list a new product with similar effects to ours. The main ingredients are also the same. Now, all the herbs on the market have been purchased by them.” the secretary whispered.

”Why is it like this, who is it!?” Who leaked our formula? Otherwise, how would Gu Yuan know about our new product! ”Now that their products are going to be on the market, who would buy our stuff?!” Lu Zhan Ming was on the verge of collapse.

As predicted by Lu Zhan, Gu Yuan's new product was released on schedule and received a lot of attention in the market. Because the results were good and the price was cheap, many women rushed to buy it.

Lu Zhan Ming impatiently paced back and forth in his office. Suddenly, he heard a light knock on the door.

”Come in.” Lu Zhan Ming impatiently shouted.
