At 3 PM, in the multifunctional conference room of Blossom Pharmaceutical, the atmosphere was heavy with tension.

Fifteen core team members sat in their chairs, discussing anxiously, each wearing a look of pessimism.

The secret formula that was critical to the company's survival had been leaked, signaling that the company was facing a life-or-death crisis. Yet, after hours of discussion, no one had come up with a viable solution.

Sabrina, arms crossed and leaning back in her chair, scanned the room with a cold gaze before speaking in a sharp tone:

"Are we all mute? Does anyone have a solution?"

"I'll reward anyone who can resolve this crisis with ten million. If not, prepare to leave," she declared coldly.

Although the company was run with a more relaxed attitude, Sabrina did not want to bear the shadow of failure. She was determined not to let Liam Collins take credit for her downfall.

The room fell into a tense silence, no one daring to speak up.

Sabrina cast a disappointed glance at the core team members, then turned to the company's product consultant, the national treasure and elixir expert, Alistair Winter.

Alistair Winter was one of the three Kings of ZH City, renowned for his expertise in medicinal pills and his unique ability to treat illnesses by using poison to counter poison. His reputation in the industry was legendary, and he was known as the "Medicine King."

Given his prestigious status, he could easily treat high-ranking officials every year and live a life of luxury. The reason he was serving as a consultant for Blossom Pharmaceutical was due to a favor from the family of Ryan Barker. Consequently, his position in the company was extremely powerful.

Sabrina respectfully asked, "Master Winter, do you have any ideas?"

"Mrs. Sabrina, there's nothing we can do at this point. We either need to force Dragon Pharmaceutical to tear up the formula, or we need to find a replacement formula," he responded gravely.

Normally, Alistair Winter did not attend company meetings and only occasionally reviewed the ingredients and effects of the formulas. However, this was a matter of life and death, and he could not afford to remain on the sidelines, especially since he received a generous share of the company's profits every year.

"But neither of these options is viable. Let's not even talk about Dragon Pharmaceutical," he continued. "I've reached out to colleagues both domestically and abroad, offering my connections and one hundred million to purchase a better formula, but none have been able to offer one superior to the current product."

"I've scoured ancient texts, but I haven't found anything suitable," he added regretfully.

"We may have to prepare for the worst: halt production, clear the stock, and save up funds to make a comeback," Alistair concluded.

The others nodded in agreement.

"If we don't stop the bleeding now, the more Dragon Pharmaceutical produces, the greater our losses will be," one of the team members added.

"Dragon Pharmaceutical saves on our R&D costs and can price their product much lower. In terms of effect, we can't compete on price."

Alistair fixed his sharp gaze on Sabrina, "Mrs. Sabrina, we must avoid confrontation."

"Don't worry. I'm already working on a scar-removal drug, and I'll have the data ready within three months," he assured her. "It's 20% more effective than current products on the market. Once I finalize the formula, I'll hand it over to Blossom Pharmaceutical, and we'll make a triumphant return."
