Dominic fell silent.Three pairs of eyes watched him, waiting for an answer. But instead of answering Eric’s question, Dominic let out a sigh.“Don’t ask me something like that. How could I leave my current job? It’s my only source of income.”“How much do you make now?”“Fifteen hundred dollars.” Dominic paused. “I recently got a hundred-dollar raise. They said I was doing a good job.”Eric straightened the spoon beside his plate.“Do you want to go to college or not?”Dominic frowned. “You keep asking that. Are you planning to pay for my education?”“Why not?”Dominic fell silent.He had thought Eric was merely teasing him. However, there was not the slightest hint of a joke in Eric’s expression.“Don’t joke about something like this. I might actually take you seriously.”“I am serious.” Eric smiled faintly. “How about this? My company will give you a scholarship. In return, you’ll have to work for my company after you graduate.”Dominic looked even more surprised.“But—”Eric raise

After speaking with several guests, Eric finally had a moment to breathe.However, before he could leave, someone was already walking toward him.“All your hard work has finally paid off.”Eric turned.Xavia stood before him with a faint smile.“Congratulations.”“Thank you.”Xavia’s gaze briefly dropped to Eric’s shoulder. She then opened her small purse and took out a handkerchief.“There’s a small stain on your suit.”Eric followed her gaze and only then noticed it.“Oh, good thing you saw it.” He accepted the handkerchief and cleaned the stain from his suit.Xavia merely smiled as she watched him.“Thank you.” Eric returned the handkerchief.Xavia nodded slightly before placing it back in her purse.Not far away, Andreas and Dominic noticed the two of them and began speaking quietly while occasionally laughing.Xavia looked back at Eric.“So, what am I supposed to call you from now on? Mr. Brown, Mr. Eric, or Young Master?”Eric smiled faintly. “Call me whatever you like, as long

Not long after Eric took his seat in the front row, the opening ceremony finally began.An emcee stepped onto the stage and welcomed all the guests in attendance. After a brief introduction, the mayor of Oxfield was invited to deliver a short address before Robert’s name was called.Applause sounded once again.Robert rose from his seat and walked toward the stage.As the company’s president, he had overseen nearly the entire process of establishing the company over the past month. He thanked everyone who had helped, then briefly explained the company’s direction and its plans once operations officially began.However, not all the attention was focused on him.From time to time, several pairs of eyes shifted toward the front row.Eric sat calmly among the other shareholders.Among the businesspeople, government officials, and pharmaceutical industry figures filling the venue, he looked remarkably young.“Is that Eric Brown?”“Yes.”“He’s so young.”Most of the people attending already

One month passed.In that short time, many things had changed.The pharmaceutical company that had existed only as a plan on a table one month earlier had now been established.The headquarters in Oriville had begun operating two weeks earlier. Rather than constructing a new building from the ground up, they purchased an existing property and renovated it to suit their needs. Most of the company’s administrative and management affairs were now handled there, while its main production facility was located in Oxfield.Robert had kept his word.With the support of the twelve families, many things that should have taken months were completed far more quickly. Specialists were brought in, supplier networks were established, distribution channels were prepared, and the facility they had acquired in Oxfield was renovated and adapted to meet their production requirements.Eric himself was not heavily involved in any of it.Over the past month, he had spent most of his time refining the formul

That morning, Eric and Robert sat across from each other in the rear garden of Brown Mansion. The weather was quite pleasant. After the lengthy meeting the day before, the mansion had finally returned to its usual calm. Robert placed a cup of coffee on the table before opening the folder he had brought with him. “All the funds have been calculated. The total comes to seven hundred and ten million dollars.” Eric nodded slightly. “More than I initially expected.” Robert smiled. “It seems you won’t need to use much of the three hundred million dollars you prepared, sir.” “I’ll still contribute a portion of it.” Robert did not look surprised. “How much?” “Ninety million.” “That brings our initial capital to exactly eight hundred million dollars.” Eric picked up his cup and took a sip of coffee. “Is that enough to get started?” “More than enough.” Robert closed the folder. “Especially since several families began offering assistance last night. Specialists, suppliers

Once all the agreements had been signed, the atmosphere of the meeting gradually became more relaxed.Eric spoke briefly with several people before turning toward Jack.“Hand them out.”Jack nodded and immediately signaled the servants.Before long, small boxes were distributed to all twelve family heads.Philipp was the first to open his.As soon as he lifted the lid, six Youth Preservation Pills could be seen neatly arranged inside.“Six?”George, who had just opened his own box, examined its contents as well. Several others quickly did the same.Smiles began appearing on their faces. They seemed to have received more than they had expected.Yarta took out the instruction sheet tucked inside the box and briefly read through it.“I see.”“What?” George turned toward him.“One pill every month.”George immediately picked up his own instruction sheet. Philipp read his as well, and his smile grew even wider.“So, it’s a six-month supply.”Joseph, who had remained silent until then, fina
