Chapter 576: Chapter 576: The End of Hu Shanshan

Many people in Zhou Yue’s village were talking, watching the lively scene.

"Over ten million! How much money is that? My kid couldn’t earn that in his whole life."

"The Hu Family’s daughter still hasn’t gotten married yet, right? They must really regret it, missing out on a son-in-law like that!"

"Who doesn’t? I walked past the Hu Family before and could hear arguing coming from inside the house."

"This Qin Xiaotao doesn’t even look bad, and he can make that much money. Whose family wouldn’t regret it?"

...

At this moment, upstairs in one of the houses, a girl silently looked down, staring at the BMWs lined up below.

Judging from her face, it was Hu Shanshan.

Celestial Fortune was constantly developing. From the handful of small clothing stores at the beginning, it had already grown into a true giant of a company, and Qin Xiaotao had risen with the tide as well. His current annual salary was in the millions, and his year-end bonus had even reached over ten million!

But none of this had anything to do with her.

No matter how much she regretted it, it was useless. Hu Shanshan didn’t even know how long she’d been regretting it.

She’d once dreamed of putting down roots in a big city, of having a home there and no longer drifting. All of that had once been within easy reach for her, and it would have turned out even better than she had imagined. She had even had a chance to become part of the upper class in Jinling.

But because of a momentary thought of her own, none of this had anything to do with her anymore.

Whatever the reason, since she was destined not to get it, there was no point in constantly looking back.

"Ding!"

As she was watching, Hu Shanshan’s phone suddenly rang. She glanced at it.

"What day are you coming back to Jinling?"

A message popped up.

Looking at the message, Hu Shanshan replied: "I’ll come back the day after tomorrow."

Over this past year, she had started seeing another boyfriend in Jinling. He was thirty-five, had paid the down payment on an apartment in a remote part of Jinling, and he was very honest—kind of like Qin Xiaotao back then, though in terms of looks he couldn’t compare at all, and he was under 1.7 meters tall.

Counting it up, Hu Shanshan was already thirty-two. She and that man were dating in a lukewarm, neither-hot-nor-cold kind of way.

"Then I’ll drive over to pick you up." The reply came quickly.

"No need." Hu Shanshan replied.

After a few more lines, she turned off her phone.

Looking down, she could see Qin Xiaotao, see the smile on his face.

After Qin Xiaotao, she had dated two men, but none of them were as good as Qin Xiaotao.

If time could start over, she would never make that choice again. Right now she should have been at the happiest point of her life.

But time could never go back, and there was no way she and Qin Xiaotao could ever have any outcome again.

The day after Qin Xiaotao and Zhou Yue got married, Hu Shanshan left the village. More than half a year later, she married a man she’d met through a blind date.

She and the man paid the mortgage together. Life was tight, but the man treated her reasonably well, and she had finally settled down in Jinling, fulfilling her dream of putting down roots there.

Sometimes when the TV was broadcasting news about Celestial Fortune, with Qin Xiaotao appearing on screen as a spokesperson in a sharp suit, looking very eye-catching,

at those times her husband would sigh about how amazing Celestial Fortune was, saying that Qin Xiaotao was the cousin of Celestial Fortune’s founder or something, and that if he could achieve one-tenth of Qin Xiaotao’s success in the future, he’d already be satisfied.

Whenever that happened, Hu Shanshan wouldn’t argue. She would just quietly go back to her own room.

And her husband never noticed anything unusual, still sighing to himself alone.

...

Time continued to pass, and in the blink of an eye the students in Qin Yun’s class were already in the second semester of their junior year, about to start their internships.

From time to time, people would message Qin Yun, hoping to get into Celestial Fortune in the future.

Qin Yun didn’t turn them down.

Of course, this was limited to his own class.

Tianyuan adopted an elimination system: once you entered Celestial Fortune, whether you could stay on in the future depended on your own ability.

And as time flowed by, the experiments on the "Anticancer Agent" were still ongoing.

"Anticancer Agent" was the name of the drug developed by the Celestial Fortune Medical Research Institute.

Top oncology experts in Hua Country were carrying out experiment after experiment!

From the animal trial results, the effect of the "Anticancer Agent" was very obvious. The drug could be diluted for slow observation of changes, or it could be injected into the body all at once.

Under the action of this "Anticancer Agent," the tumors and the spreading cancer cells in the test animals’ bodies disappeared rapidly. The entire process was extremely smooth!

The many experts and professors were very excited. After succeeding in animal trials, they finally began to work with several hospitals in Jinling to officially launch clinical trials.

The animal trials had lasted a month, and the clinical trials also ran for a month!

In the end, the clinical trial results came out!

Under the action of the "Anticancer Agent," even late-stage cancer patients saw the cancer cells in their bodies rapidly dissipate, completely cleared out in at most three weeks. The overall results could only be described as perfect.

"Hahaha, we finally succeeded! All cancer cells disappeared in the thirty patients from the clinical trial!"

"This is a groundbreaking, epoch-making breakthrough!"

The many experts and professors were extremely excited.

"Qin Yun, thank you for establishing this research institute."

Li Haitian gripped Qin Yun’s hand tightly, speaking in excitement.

He really was thrilled; this was a scene he had dreamed of seeing.

At this moment Lin Yun had also come over to Qin Yun’s side. Lin Yun was there as the representative from above, specifically responsible for the confidentiality work surrounding the "Anticancer Agent" experiments.

Now that everything was ready, the "Anticancer Agent" was on the verge of being released.

"Anticancer Agent" was a joint project between Celestial Fortune and the state. Celestial Fortune would handle sales, set the price, and so on.

As for selling it abroad, the state would take the lead.

Countries like the United States and some others had been continuously suppressing Hua Country in the tech sector, imposing export restrictions on high-tech products.

There was no way around it; they did have the advantage. If they refused to sell to Hua Country, Hua Country had no recourse.

But now with the emergence of the "Anticancer Agent," it could definitely be used as a bargaining chip to trade for many things.

Of course, this wasn’t something Qin Yun needed to think about, nor did he need to be distracted by it.

"Next, it’s going to be a time of massive shock!" Qin Yun took a deep breath and said silently to himself.

The "Anticancer Agent" was currently being rushed into production. Numerous production lines had already been set up, and at the current rate of production, they could make one hundred million vials in just over a year, meaning they could cure one hundred million people.

...

By the time all the experiments were finished, it was already past six in the evening.

And just a few minutes later, all the major official websites, including renbao and others, posted a piece of news.

"Latest news: our Celestial Fortune Medical Research Institute has successfully developed a drug to treat cancer, named ’Anticancer Agent.’ According to experimental results, ’Anticancer Agent’ can cure all types of cancer..."
