Chapter 351: Chapter 351

Everyone thought that under these circumstances, there was simply no way Matsumoto Mina would not take the medication. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novᴇlfire.net

Yet Matsumoto Mina still refused!

"Ladies and gentlemen, medicine is precious. I too wish to personally endorse this product. However, I do not want to waste such valuable medicine just for an advertisement. It should be used by those who truly need it," she said.

"Also, I do not have any anxiety about my appearance. Wearing full makeup is simply a sign of respect for the competition and for all the viewers watching the live broadcast.

"Therefore, I choose to let time heal my nose!"

[Hehe! As if I’d believe you!!]

This comment seemed to carry magic, and the entire live stream screen was instantly filled with dense, innumerable copies of this line. Interspersed among these were a few colorful messages:

[If there is nothing suspicious about this medicine, I’ll do a headstand and wash my hair live on stream!]

[Even if you’re rich, don’t buy it. Your money doesn’t grow on trees! Think carefully!!]

[She talks about it curing all diseases, but she herself is too scared to take it. Think about it, think carefully!]

Unwilling to take the medicine, Matsumoto Mina simply left the hospital room.

As soon as she reached the break room, she received a call from the president of Matsumoto Group, Matsumoto Yuki.

"What on earth are you doing? Do you have any idea how many potential pharmaceutical partners have pulled out because you refused to take that medicine?"

"Father, I can’t take that medicine!" Matsumoto Mina said. "I no longer have any blood relatives. You know that."

Nominally, Matsumoto Mina was Matsumoto Yuki’s daughter, but in reality, she was the child born from an affair between Mrs. Matsumoto and Matsumoto Yuki’s secretary. If it weren’t for her exceptional intelligence from a young age, learning anything she set her mind to, Matsumoto Yuki would have abandoned her long ago.

Now that Matsumoto Mina had brought up this scar herself, Matsumoto Yuki was momentarily stunned. After a good while, he continued, "You must take it! Once you do, your bluish-green nose will heal. When you take it, others will believe that our medicine truly works, unlike now, with everyone constantly questioning us."

"But there is something wrong with it. Others might not know, but surely you do? It simply burns a person’s vitality prematurely. Once it’s all burned up, the person dies!"

Matsumoto Mina was quite comfortable with this body, and even more so with this identity. So she didn’t want to give either up.

"Is this the time to be considering that? Meina, you need to focus on the bigger picture! In any case, this medicine must be sold this time, no matter what!"

"Father!" Matsumoto Mina was so angry her voice changed. "Don’t you forget, it was I who revitalized Matsumoto Pharmaceutical! It was I who secured your position as Chairman of the Pharmaceutical Bureau!"

"Then you shouldn’t forget either that if Revival Dan is rejected because of you, Matsumoto Pharmaceutical will be completely ruined! If that happens, it’s game over for both of us!" Matsumoto Yuki’s voice was grim.

"So, you’re saying I must take this medicine?"

"Correct! And you must actually take it. Not only you, but the other two who were infected with you must also take it! Once you’ve all taken it and it takes effect, immediately sell the medicine to the infected members of An Yan’s team! Understand?"

Matsumoto Yuki had his calculations meticulously planned. "Meina, our goal as father and daughter should be to make Matsumoto Pharmaceutical flourish. Only when we have enough wealth at our disposal, and our influence is significant enough, can we get what we want, isn’t that right? As for the vitality you lose, I will find some pure vitality to replenish it for you later! Just like that time you were seriously ill!"

Matsumoto Mina’s expression stiffened slightly. Matsumoto Yuki was referring to when she had first taken over Matsumoto Mina’s body and was at her weakest. At that time, Matsumoto Mina had accompanied Matsumoto Yuki to a remote village in Southeast Asia, where he intended to sponsor a school. The first thing she did after taking over Matsumoto Mina’s body was to absorb the vitality of all the children in that school. However, this time she had been very careful, absorbing only a little from each child. She had thought she had been discreet enough that no one would notice.

Matsumoto Yuki continued, "I know you are not my Meina, but what does it matter? Our interests are aligned. Therefore, I can treat you as my Meina! You can do that too, right?"

Matsumoto Mina let out a light chuckle. "Yes, I can! Then, Father, this time, I will do as you say."

After hanging up the phone, Matsumoto Mina violently threw her cell phone.

It was just one pill, wasn’t it? She’d just take it. Big deal, she could find another school later!

A few minutes later, Matsumoto Mina appeared in their team’s conference room. She addressed the live camera, saying, "I’ve seen your comments. Although I really wanted to save a pill, since you all requested it, I will fulfill your expectations!"

She beckoned with her finger. An assistant brought over a basin of water and wet a cotton pad for her to remove her makeup.

After she cleaned her face, Matsumoto Mina’s bluish-green nose became even more prominent.

"Everyone, I’m starting to take the medication."

With that, she placed the pill in her mouth and washed it down with half a glass of warm water.

In less than half a minute, the medication’s effects became apparent. The bluish-green color of her nose gradually returned to its normal shade.

[I know I should be shocked right now! But for some reason, it feels like the excitement has passed.]

[Me too. She only took it after so much urging; suddenly, it’s not surprising anymore.]

[I’m different from you all; I’m still surprised. But when I think of the two million, forget it. I can’t afford to be shocked!]

[Netizens these days are so refreshingly honest about being poor.]

Seeing the netizens’ comments starting to digress, Matsumoto Mina quickly tried to steer their attention back. "You’ve all seen the effects. Therefore, I’ve decided, in my personal capacity, to gift five pills to Miss An Yan’s team. I hope her teammates can be freed from the fear of the fungal infection."

[Oh, finally said something human!]

[Then hurry up and send them. Wait, make it clear: you’re gifting them in your personal capacity, meaning they don’t have to pay for them themselves, right?]

Matsumoto Mina nodded. "Yes, I am gifting them. They don’t have to pay."

[Then I have no objections. Go ahead and send them.]

Although Yanyan isn’t short on money, we can’t just hand it over to this Matsumoto, can we?

An Duxuan thought that with this medicine, Su Siming, Zhang Zhilan, Ya Zhuo, Mu Enyu, and the others would be able to break free from their restrictions and continue competing.

However, unexpectedly, when Matsumoto Mina arrived with the medicine, she was refused at the door.

"Sorry, Miss Matsumoto Mina, our Young Miss has instructed that we are not to accept anything from an opponent!" Wen Ya said, her face cold.

Matsumoto Mina couldn’t understand. "Why not? This is medicine! It can cure the fungal infection they have!"
