Meanwhile.
In Jiangcheng, Wanshan Medical.
A black Mercedes-Benz slowly pulled into the company gates.
Zhou Wanshan sat in the backseat, looking at the familiar scenery outside the window, feeling more relaxed than ever before.
Before yesterday, he had even begun to arrange his affairs.
Who could have imagined that in just one short day, he would return from the gates of death?
Even now, it still felt like a dream.
Inside the office.
Zhou Wanshan had not been sitting for long.
When his secretary knocked and entered.
"President Zhou."
"There are a few guests outside."
"They say they're here to see you."
Zhou Wanshan was stunned.
"Who?"
The secretary reeled off a few names.
After hearing them.
Zhou Wanshan understood immediately.
They were all old acquaintances.
Some were in construction materials.
Some were in pharmaceutical distribution.
And some were in mechanical manufacturing.
They used to play golf together often.
They could be considered people in the same semi-circle.
"Let them in."
"Very well."
Not long after.
The office door was pushed open.
Three men and one woman walked in.
As soon as they entered.
Everyone's gaze landed squarely on Zhou Wanshan.
The next second, they all froze.
"Old Zhou?"
"Is it really you?"
"Your condition is..."
"Didn't they say you were almost gone?"
They were full of shock.
It wasn't that they hadn't visited Zhou Wanshan in the hospital.
So when the video surfaced yesterday.
They actually didn't quite believe it.
After all, things on the internet.
Are hard to distinguish as true or false.
But seeing it with their own eyes today.
They were completely dumbfounded.
Zhou Wanshan laughed, stood up, and shook hands with them.
"What?"
"Were you hoping I'd kick the bucket?"
Everyone laughed and retorted, and the atmosphere soon eased.
But the shock and doubt in their eyes didn't diminish in the slightest.
After sitting down.
They began to inquire intentionally or unintentionally.
"Old Zhou."
"What exactly happened?"
"Is that video from the hospital real?"
"Didn't the doctors say there was no hope before?"
"How did you suddenly get better?"
"Could it be that you took some special medicine?"
Facing their questions, Zhou Wanshan didn't intend to hide anything.
After all, this kind of thing couldn't be hidden.
Moreover, if he wanted to make a comeback, he still needed the help of those before him.
Thus, starting from the appearance of the lifespan treasure yesterday.
Zhou Wanshan recounted the entire process exactly as it happened.
The office gradually quieted down.
The more they listened, the quieter they became.
Finally, there was no sound at all.
A full dozen seconds passed.
President Liu, who was in mechanical manufacturing, spoke hesitantly.
"So, what you're saying is..."
"Your life was bought?"
Zhou Wanshan nodded.
"Yes."
"I bought one year."
They looked at each other, their expressions becoming increasingly strange.
Buying life sounded like insanity.
But the problem was, they knew Zhou Wanshan.
And they had all witnessed his previous condition.
And now, Zhou Wanshan was sitting right in front of them, alive and well.
This made it impossible for them to refute it.
President Zhao, who was next to him, couldn't help but ask.
"How much did it cost?"
Zhou Wanshan took a sip of tea.
"Ten million."
As the words fell, their expressions changed simultaneously.
"Ten million?!"
"To buy one year of lifespan?!"
This price... well.
For an ordinary person, this would definitely be an astronomical figure.
But for bosses like them.
Although it pained them.
It wasn't unacceptable.
Especially as they got older.
The importance of money.
Actually began to decline.
Health was the most important thing.
If one could really extend their life.
Never mind ten million for a year.
Even if it were several times that, people would be fighting to buy it.
For a moment, their breathing became noticeably heavier.
Especially President Tang, who was sitting at the very edge.
He was sixty-three this year.
He had been diagnosed with diabetes a few years ago.
Recently, his health had been getting worse by the day.
Hearing that he could buy lifespan, his eyes were practically glowing.
"Old Zhou."
"Where is that software of yours?"
"Let me see it."
"Yes."
"Show us."
"You've made us all tempted."
Zhou Wanshan didn't refuse.
He took out his phone directly.
Opened the lifespan treasure.
And handed it over.
The group immediately gathered around.
As if studying some precious treasure.
Examining it carefully.
Personal information.
Lifespan transaction.
Transaction history.
Flipping through each feature one by one.
The more they flipped, the more alarmed they became.
Especially when they saw that they could even see how much lifespan they had left.
They all couldn't help but gasp and look at each other.
"You can even see how long you have left to live?"
"Hiss!"
President Tang couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Beside him.
His secretary.
Had already secretly memorized the name and style of the software.
She was a graduate of a prestigious university.
And was very familiar with the internet.
She immediately took out her own phone.
And started searching.
App store, none.
Web search, none.
Only related news reports, no download links.
Then she tried a few overseas channels.
Still nothing.
She couldn't even find it on forums.
It was as if this software didn't exist at all.
The more she searched.
The more her heart sank.
Finally, she could only look silently at her boss and shake her head slightly.
The meaning was obvious: she couldn't find it.
Seeing this.
President Tang frowned.
He looked back at Zhou Wanshan.
"Old Zhou."
"Where can this software be downloaded?"
"Give us a link."
The others also looked at Zhou Wanshan.
Zhou Wanshan spread his hands.
"I don't know either."
"You don't know?"
"I really don't know."
Zhou Wanshan smiled bitterly.
"I've looked into it."
"It doesn't seem to be a public software."
"Ordinary people can't download it."
"It seems you need an invitation code to be eligible."
They were all stunned for a moment.
"An invitation code?"
"Yes."
"Yesterday, someone downloaded the software using this method."
President Tang immediately said, "Then invite me."
Zhou Wanshan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"I don't have an invitation code."
The office went quiet again.
They were somewhat skeptical.
President Tang even frowned directly.
"Old Zhou."
"You don't have an invitation code."
"Then how do you have this software?"
Zhou Wanshan said helplessly.
"You might not believe me if I say it."
"It appeared on my phone by itself."
The air suddenly froze.
They looked at each other.
Their expressions grew increasingly strange.
"It appeared by itself?"
"What kind of joke is that?"
"Software can install itself?"
Seeing their expressions.
Zhou Wanshan knew they didn't believe him.
In fact.
If it weren't for his personal experience.
Even he wouldn't believe it himself.
But that was exactly how it happened.
Seeing their expressions getting stranger and stranger.
Zhou Wanshan suddenly thought of someone.
Chen Fan.
That young man.
The only one he currently knew.
Who actively gave others invitation codes.
Thinking of this, Zhou Wanshan's eyes lit up.
"I do know someone."
Everyone looked over instantly.
"Who?"
"Does the person you're talking about have an invitation code?"
Zhou Wanshan nodded, "I'm not sure if he has one now."
"But I have seen him send them to others before."
"By the way, I also added his >."
Hearing this, they all perked up.
President Tang even stood up directly.
"Old Zhou, hurry and ask!"
"If this software is really as legendary as they say..."
"Name your terms!"
President Liu also spoke in a deep voice.
"That's right!"
"As long as the matter is reliable."
"Whether it works out or not, from now on, the equipment in our factory..."
"Will be purchased from your company first."
The other two people on the side also echoed.
Obviously, they were also tempted.
Zhou Wanshan was shocked.
Just this one sentence.
Was probably worth tens of millions.
The temptation of lifespan.
Was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
"Alright, then I'll help you ask."
He didn't waste any more words and took out his phone directly.
Opened > and found the contact labeled "Chen Fan".
His finger hovered for a moment, then he edited the message.
【Brother Chen, are you there?】
【There is something I would like to ask you about.】
【Grin】 【Grin】
