Zhou Qiang felt like his train of thought had suddenly broken.

"Group Leader Zhou, what should we do next?"

In the lab, everyone was eagerly looking at Zhou Qiang, waiting for his next instructions.

Just when Zhou Qiang didn’t know what to say, a few people suddenly walked into the lab, led by a chubby middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was an executive from Procter & Gamble Company.

"Group Leader Zhou, how’s the research going?" the executive warmly asked upon arriving.

"Not bad," Zhou Qiang smiled and nodded.

"It’s more than just ’not bad,’ President Li. Group Leader Zhou’s research is incredible right now."

"Yeah, who would’ve thought those traditional Chinese medicines could be used like this?"

"If our research succeeds, the effects will be at least more than seven times that of Crest toothpaste!"

Before Zhou Qiang could say anything, a few people in the laboratory spoke up excitedly, handing their data to Director Li.

"More than seven times?"

Hearing this, President Li’s eyes lit up.

Seeing Zhou Qiang smiling without saying a word, he silently praised him as a truly humble person.

Look at this, only such talent is suitable for research work.

Patting Zhou Qiang on the shoulder, President Li smiled and said, "Group Leader Zhou, keep up the good work; we won’t disturb you. Once the research is done, there will be no shortage of bonuses."

A group of people visiting to check on the situation then left, not wanting to waste Zhou Qiang’s time.

"Hey, even President Li came to inspect!"

"Group Leader Zhou is really amazing. Once the research is done, our whole research group will get bonuses."

Everyone was discussing, knowing that Zhou Qiang was poached, betraying his previous lab.

But that didn’t concern them; they might despise Zhou Qiang’s character, but that’s about it.

After all, they weren’t the ones who betrayed. All they had to do was follow Zhou Qiang and fully invest in the research.

So, everyone looked at Zhou Qiang in anticipation, waiting for his next instruction.

At that moment, Zhou Qiang looked at the various pieces of equipment in front of him and all the expectant eyes, suddenly feeling very agitated.

Because he didn’t know what to do next either.

"Phew! I can’t rush!"

He took a deep breath: "I must be too anxious, affecting my mindset, which is why I’m at a loss."

Right now, Zhou Qiang felt that he must have been affected by that million-dollar reason, which disturbed his mindset and slightly influenced him.

He shouldn’t be affected by this but should turn it into motivation like at the Celestial Fortune laboratory.

"Phew!" "Breathe in!" "Phew!" "Breathe in!"

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Zhou Qiang continued inhaling and exhaling.

"Is Group Leader Zhou practicing Qi Gong?"

"Could be, I’ve heard people who practice Qi Gong have more active brain cells?"

"Really? You’re not bluffing, are you?"

The other lab members whispered among themselves.

Ignoring their chatter, Zhou Qiang felt he was almost recovered and turned his attention to the test bench.

"Damn, why is there still no specific idea."

After staring for a while, Zhou Qiang felt agitated again.

In fact, Zhou Qiang had some idea for the next research direction. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have confidently told Qin Yun that he had made a significant breakthrough.

But having a general idea is one thing; when it came time to implement it, he felt that something was missing.

It was like seeing a beautiful scene and wanting to describe it in words, but not having the literary skills to do so.

This bottled-up feeling made him extremely uncomfortable.

...

The toothpaste process hit a bottleneck with Zhou Qiang, while Wu Sen and Lin Jieyang were slowly making progress.

They were very capable, and they had a roughly complete idea. With the support of the Wealth Gathering Array, they didn’t stop.

In fact, many people have researched toothpaste—whitening, cavity protection, etc. They have some effects, but there’s a lack of quick results.

So, the general research direction of toothpaste is known to many; the only thing that needs breaking through are those key points.

And the luck granted by the Wealth Gathering Array undoubtedly plays a huge role in breaking through those key points.

"President Qin, our progress is swift. At this rate, we should have a successful trial in about two weeks!" Wu Sen and Lin Jieyang said excitedly at this moment.

"Good!"

Qin Yun nodded, encouraging them to keep up the effort.

While toothpaste was under research, Celestial Fortune Shampoo’s live program was becoming increasingly popular!

Especially the large lottery draws held twice daily, which attracted a large number of people into the live streaming room each time.

No matter their reasons for joining, once there, they’d definitely see the situation in the live streaming room.

And the live video was also gaining traction on the internet.

"It’s unbelievable. In just two weeks, hair has actually started to regrow on the heads of these ten contestants!"

"Are you kidding? This is obviously a marketing tactic."

"Who’s the fool here? This is an all-day live broadcast, even during sleep. We can see the daily hair changes with our eyes. Who could possibly intervene midway? Oh, maybe in the restroom, but that’s at most an hour. How could there be enough time for hair transplant? Even if they did, wouldn’t we notice?"

"No need to argue with the trolls! I’ve already bought several bottles myself and personally tested its effect. I even gave some to my family and friends, and they called to thank me yesterday."

"I bought some too! The effect is unbelievably strong!"

"All I can say is: Celestial Fortune, yyds!"

...

The online buzz was growing, and as the program continued, money from the Celestial Fortune lottery kept flowing out, but the sales of Celestial Fortune Shampoo were also continuously increasing!

It appeared in front of everyone with an unstoppable momentum.

Before the program ended, Celestial Fortune toothpaste was finally developed!

What was supposed to take two weeks was surprisingly completed in just over a week!

"Excellent!"

Seeing the delighted Wu Sen and Lin Jieyang, Qin Yun smiled and said, "These past two weeks have been hard on you."

At this moment, Qin Yun was in a very good mood.

After Zhou Qiang was poached, he felt a lot of pressure, so for the past two weeks, he had Wu Sen and Lin Jieyang stay in the lab to prevent any progress from being discovered by others.

"Let’s start finding people to test it next and see the specific effects!" Qin Yun added.

The toothpaste needed to be tested like the shampoo to assess the specific effects.

Of course, this effect evaluation would be much easier compared to shampoo, since brushing more times a day wouldn’t have much impact.

Currently, there’s no movement from Procter & Gamble, probably because they haven’t made a breakthrough yet; otherwise, there would’ve been some news.

"Understood, President Qin!" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Wu Sen and Lin Jieyang were also very pleased. They initially thought Zhou Qiang’s leaving would heavily affect them, but to their surprise, they succeeded!
