Li Xiaorou Cried, the Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber Arrived
As for the drug testing process, Chen Feng had looked into it. The domestic drug regulator required at least four rounds of trials before approving a drug for market.
Some companies' drugs had to undergo years of testing before they could pass, but that was because all the side effects and reactions had to be recorded.
His Healing Pill wouldn't run into that problem.
The Healing Pill was refined from heavenly materials and earthly treasures from the Painting Scroll World, using the special techniques of an Alchemist from that world.
As long as the trials revealed no side effects, it could still pass quickly.
If it really took too long, she could only go to Liu Mu and pull some strings.
Hearing Chen Feng say he would handle it, Li Xiaorou was relieved.
When it came to government departments and agencies, there was nothing she could do.
Li Xiaorou then asked, "By the way, boss, what's our new drug called?"
All she knew was that the drug they had developed was for external injuries.
She had also asked Chen Feng about its development, and he had told her he had developed it himself.
Li Xiaorou didn't believe that for a second.
Chen Feng had already developed Blazing Sun Iron, which was heaven-defying enough.
Even if Chen Feng developed something new again, it should have been related to metal. But drugs and metal were completely unrelated.
Chen Feng thought for a moment and said:
"Let's call it Wound Healing No. 1."
"Boss, isn't that name a bit off?" Li Xiaorou really wasn't keen on it.
She thought Chen Feng was far too bad at naming things.
A medicine obviously needed an impressive, high-class name to catch people's attention.
No matter how she heard it, Wound Healing No. 1 sounded like some health supplement from decades ago.
"The name isn't important. What matters is how well it works. It'll still be a while before Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals launches, so I'll leave you in charge here from now on."
Li Xiaorou nodded at once. "All right, boss."
Li Xiaorou was already managing Xingfeng Mining. Though she now had Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals as well, fortunately, each of Chen Feng's businesses focused on a single field.
There weren't so many complicated matters, so she could handle them on her own.
Seeing the determination on Li Xiaorou's beautiful face, Chen Feng suddenly spoke:
"Xiaorou, I'm planning to promote you to general manager of Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals and raise your annual salary to 300,000."
"Huh?" The enormous surprise left Li Xiaorou frozen on the spot.
She was a young woman who had only graduated from university and entered the workforce a few months ago, yet Chen Feng was making her the general manager of a company.
It was something she had never even dared to dream of.
In an instant, Li Xiaorou's eyes reddened.
Seeing that Li Xiaorou was actually crying, Chen Feng asked, "Why are you crying? Don't tell me you don't want the job? If you think it's too much, forget it."
Li Xiaorou immediately shook her head like a rattle drum.
"No... boss, I'm just so overwhelmed. I only graduated a little while ago. You let me join Xingfeng Mining and gave me a job, and now you're making me general manager. You think so highly of me, I really don't know how to thank you."
At that moment, Li Xiaorou no longer knew what to say. Chen Feng's trust and promotion had left her at a loss.
Now, she would probably have been willing even if he asked her to bear his child.
"There's no need to get so worked up. Your abilities have proven themselves, and I have high hopes for you."
Chen Feng had made Li Xiaorou general manager of Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals because he also needed someone to serve as the public face of the company.
Xingfeng Mining was one thing. After all, it processed ore, so there was hardly any need to appear in public. But a pharmaceutical company was different; it had to have someone to put forward as its public face.
Li Xiaorou was undoubtedly the best person to stand in the spotlight. She was capable, too, and didn't have so many schemes.
"Don't worry, boss. I definitely won't let your trust in me go to waste!"
Li Xiaorou wiped away her tears and silently swore that she would not let Chen Feng down.
Just then, Chen Feng's phone rang. The person on the line told him that the hyperbaric oxygen chamber he had purchased would soon be delivered to Xingfeng Mining and asked him to come and sign for it.
A smile appeared on Chen Feng's face. The hyperbaric oxygen chamber he had waited three days for had finally arrived.
Chen Feng told Li Xiaorou to stay and keep an eye on things while he hurried to Xingfeng Mining.
Whether his grand plan to cultivate immortality could succeed depended on this hyperbaric oxygen chamber.
At the entrance to Xingfeng Mining.
A large truck had been stopped at the factory gate by a sentry on duty.
"You can't go in without a pass," the sentry said sternly.
The truck driver and the medical equipment company's manager were both stunned.
"Did you drive to the wrong place?" the manager asked the driver.
No matter how he looked at it, this place seemed like a restricted military zone. Not only were there sentries on guard, but the entire factory compound was surrounded by wire fencing.
"No, this is the place," the driver said, looking just as bewildered.
He had made deliveries in the area several times and knew the factories here. The last time he had come to deliver goods, this factory hadn't looked like this.
The manager stepped forward cautiously and asked the sentry:
"Comrade, may I ask if this is Xingfeng Mining?"
The manager couldn't see any sign of Xingfeng Mining here, not even a billboard.
That was because Chen Feng couldn't be bothered to put up a sign. He had spent all his money where it mattered.
"That's right, this is Xingfeng Mining. What are you here for?" The sentry watched them warily.
Hearing that it was Xingfeng Mining, the manager hurriedly said, "We're here to make a delivery. Is Chen Feng, Mr. Chen, in?"
The manager was deeply shocked. An ore-processing plant actually had soldiers standing guard. His client this time was probably no ordinary person.
At the mention of Chen Feng's name, the sentry's expression changed.
"Wait here. I'll make a call."
The sentry had just picked up the phone and was about to dial when Chen Feng came walking over from a distance.
Xingfeng Pharmaceuticals was less than a few hundred meters from Xingfeng Mining, so he arrived in under a few minutes.
"Professor Chen." Both sentries greeted Chen Feng.
Chen Feng nodded, then walked over to the manager and said:
"I'm Chen Feng."
The manager immediately held out his hand to Chen Feng, his face wreathed in smiles.
"Mr. Chen, I'm the manager of Boai Medical Equipment Company. Thank you for supporting Boai Medical."
The manager had also heard how the sentries addressed him. Not just anyone could be called a professor.
And he was being called a professor by soldiers, at that. From this alone, it was clear that Chen Feng was no ordinary man.
Chen Feng gave the other man a token handshake and then asked, "Where is it?"
"Mr. Chen, you ordered our most advanced model of hyperbaric oxygen chamber. It weighs a full ton. Please follow me!"
The manager walked to the back of the truck and opened its rear doors.
Chen Feng immediately saw a futuristic-looking chamber sitting in the cargo bed.
The chamber was spacious and neatly arranged inside. Besides a bed fixed in place, it also had medical equipment such as a ventilator. It had everything one could need.
"What kind of patient are you planning to use the hyperbaric oxygen chamber for, Mr. Chen? What illness do they have? I can offer some advice on using the chamber," the manager said enthusiastically.
He hadn't brought a doctor with him this time because Chen Feng had declined one over the phone.
So he could only give Chen Feng a brief explanation himself.
Chen Feng waved the offer aside. "Just tell me how to use it. You don't need to worry about anything else."
"All right, all right." Though puzzled, the manager didn't ask any more questions.
He then began explaining how to operate the hyperbaric oxygen chamber to Chen Feng, covering things like adjusting the oxygen concentration and increasing the pressure.
The hyperbaric oxygen chamber could also be adjusted to suit individual conditions, making it very convenient.
Chen Feng didn't listen to the part about medical conditions at all. Once he understood how to use it, he called for a forklift from the factory and had the chamber moved inside.
He planned to send it to the Painting Scroll World that very night and then try cultivating.
After delivering the goods, the manager left. Before he went, he gave Chen Feng his phone number and said Chen Feng could ask him about anything he didn't understand.
As for anything else, the manager didn't dare ask.
He felt that Chen Feng must be an important figure with an extremely powerful background. Otherwise, why would soldiers armed with loaded weapons be guarding the entrance?
