Chapter 2: I Will Be Responsible for You

Early the next morning.

In the hospital room, Chen Fan's eyes suddenly opened and he sat up abruptly from the bed.

"Bloodline inheritance, the path of cultivation... My ancestor from the Chen family was actually the Ancient Jiuyou Immortal Emperor? The jade pendant my father left me actually contains all the inheritance of the Jiuyou Immortal Emperor?"

He focused his mind and discovered a vast amount of memories had appeared in his mind.

Cultivation Methods, medicine, Daoist Magic, Alchemy, Fengshui Mystical Arts...

"If I could step onto the path of immortality, wouldn't I never have to look at Qin Lan's family's faces again?"

An excited smile appeared on Chen Fan's face. Last night he had felt despondent, but now he was filled with anticipation for the future.

"What are you muttering about?" a cold voice came.

Chen Fan felt embarrassed and quickly restrained his smile, turning his head to look.

Su Qingyan was standing by the window, arms crossed, her brows marked with fatigue that made her look not very well, but it did not detract from her beauty.

"You are..." Chen Fan said, puzzled.

There was a hint of grievance in Su Qingyan's beautiful eyes, "Men really are no good."

"Huh?" Chen Fan was utterly confused.

At that moment, a patch of bright red on the bedsheet caught his eye.

His pupils dilated sharply as he remembered what had happened the night before.

After a moment's hesitation, Chen Fan hurriedly got out of bed, walked over to Su Qingyan, picked her up, and placed her on the bed.

"What are you doing!" Su Qingyan exclaimed urgently.

Chen Fan looked at Su Qingyan with shame, "I remember everything now."

Su Qingyan's pretty face turned red with anger as she turned her head away.

"Sorry, I don't know why it turned out like that last night, I..." Chen Fan was at a loss for words, his heart filled with guilt.

Su Qingyan's eyes began to redden, "There's no need to explain. You saved my life. Let's write off last night's incident, and from now on, we owe each other nothing."

Seeing the girl's aggrieved appearance, Chen Fan felt a pain in his heart.

Su Qingyan took a deep breath and passed a document to Chen Fan, "Sign this confidentiality agreement, and once you leave this room, let's pretend last night never happened."

Chen Fan took the confidentiality agreement and glanced at it, Su Qingyan had already signed her name on it.

"Su Qingyan." Chen Fan touched the beautiful handwriting, "Such a nice name."

Su Qingyan frowned, "Stop wasting time and just sign it."

Chen Fan looked up at Su Qingyan's delicate face and after some contemplation, seemed to make a significant decision.

He took the confidentiality agreement, and tore it into pieces.

Su Qingyan was furious, "What do you mean by this!"

Chen Fan said earnestly, "This matter can't just be written off like that."

Su Qingyan let out a cold laugh, "What, you're still not satisfied? Do you have any idea how many people would come for your life if this gets out?"

Chen Fan shook his head, "No, I took your first time, and I feel guilty about it. I have to take responsibility for you."

Su Qingyan was stunned.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this, but I will fulfill a man's responsibilities. Whatever demands you have, feel free to tell me," Chen Fan said seriously.

```

"Stop it, I don't need you to take responsibility," Su Qingyan lowered her head.

Chen Fan sighed, thinking he must have been underestimated.

"But since you don't want to sign the confidentiality agreement, let it be," Su Qingyan lifted her head again.

Chen Fan wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but he felt that Su Qingyan's mood seemed to have improved a lot.

Click!

The door to the sickroom was pushed open.

A beautiful woman in uniform wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked in.

Su Qingyan quickly stood up, tidied her hair, and her expression turned frosty, "Didn't I tell you to knock before entering?"

The beautiful woman said anxiously, "Miss, it's urgent. The new diet drug developed by the company has a problem. Its effects are significant during the development stage, but once it goes to the production line, it fails to be produced into a drug."

"It fails to become a drug? Could it be a problem with the production line?" Su Qingyan frowned.

The beautiful woman explained, "The entire production line has been checked three times already with no issues found. The R&D staff has also inspected the quality of the raw materials and confirmed it's not their fault. Now, all the merchants who signed orders with us are pushing for delivery. If our diet pills can't be produced within three days, the company will go bankrupt just from breach of contract compensations alone."

Su Qingyan's face changed, "Give me the prescription."

The beautiful woman handed a prescription to Su Qingyan.

Su Qingyan muttered to herself while staring at the prescription, "Theoretically, this prescription has been tested countless times and has always resulted in a product. How could it fail to become a medicine on the production line?"

At that moment, Chen Fan leaned over, took a glance at the prescription, and pointed to two herbs on it, "It seems the order of adding dried lotus leaves and capillaris has been reversed."

The beautiful woman sized up Chen Fan and said, "This prescription was developed by more than a dozen top experts. How could simply switching the order make it work? If you don't understand, don't give random instructions."

Su Qingyan also looked at Chen Fan, "If you're not busy, you can leave."

Chen Fan explained, "After heating, capillaris inhibits the properties of dried lotus leaves. If it's a small amount, the impact is not significant, but with the large doses on the production line, the effect is obvious. The medicines counteract each other and naturally can't be produced, so the order of adding these two herbs needs to be changed."

At that moment, his mind was filled with the complete memories of the Jiuyou Immortal Emperor. He could easily see what was wrong with such a simple diet drug.

"Do you enjoy showing off so much?" Su Qingyan glanced at Chen Fan, her gaze not pleased.

Chen Fan quickly said, "I was just trying to help you solve the problem..."

Su Qingyan didn't wait for Chen Fan to finish and picked up her things, looked at the beautiful woman, "Secretary Wang, let's go."

Secretary Wang nodded and glared at Chen Fan as she left, "Our miss despises those who pretend to know when they don't. You just had to spout nonsense."

Chen Fan shook his head helplessly. He felt guilty towards Su Qingyan and wanted to make amends as soon as possible.

"Well, there is no rush for this moment, and besides, the debt I owe her, how could it be compensated by merely correcting a prescription," Chen Fan murmured to himself.

However, he soon remembered that he hadn't asked for Su Qingyan's contact information and didn't even know what her true identity was.

He hurriedly chased after them, but Su Qingyan and Secretary Wang had already disappeared in the corridor.

Qingyan Pharmaceuticals, the leading group in Jiangcheng's pharmaceutical industry, an asset under the Su Family, and the little golden vault given to Su Qingyan by Sir Su.

Company headquarters.

Su Qingyan and Secretary Wang got out of the Rolls-Royce and quickly walked towards the building.

Upon arriving at the production workshop, Su Qingyan looked at the frazzled R&D staff, "Have you figured out the problem yet?"

Zhang Dequan, the chief engineer, came forward and said with embarrassment, "Miss, we've tried everything, and it's useless. The medicine can be produced in small homemade batches, but how many years will it take us to meet the order quantity with that method?"

Hearing Zhang Dequan mention the dose issue, Su Qingyan pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's switch the order of the dried lotus leaves and capillaris and try once more."
