Chapter 104 (part 3): Rebirth of the Tool Man in a Pampered Protagonist Novel

Fang Ziyang wasn’t particularly fond of crowds, so after a quick round of required interviews with the media, he quickly dragged Xie Zheng into a lounge to hide. Tang Xun, on the other hand, couldn’t avoid the reporters. Being a well-known figure in the scientific community and the team leader, he had no choice but to handle the press outside.

When they reached the lounge, many of the team members were already there.

“Fang Ziyang!”
“Ziyang!”
“Brother Fang!”

Everyone’s eyes lit up when they saw Fang Ziyang, and they all stood up to greet him enthusiastically, addressing him in various ways.

To these tech enthusiasts, age didn’t matter. As long as someone was exceptionally skilled, they’d call them whatever— even “dad” if needed!

After greeting Fang Ziyang, everyone turned to Xie Zheng beside him, all very perceptive and in unison, saying, “Congratulations on your wedding, Mr. Xie!”

As expected, Xie Zheng was visibly pleased by the heartfelt congratulations.

“Thank you.”

Although he still nodded solemnly, his cold face showed a noticeable smile. Everyone enjoys hearing good things, especially when they hit the right spot, and even someone as reserved as Xie Zheng was happy.

Xie Zheng’s reaction made it clear that his relationship with Fang Ziyang was genuine. Any corporate benefits from their union were just a bonus, reassuring those who speculated their marriage was solely for business reasons.

Despite some members casually calling Fang Ziyang “brother,” most actually saw him as a younger sibling. Over the past year, Fang Ziyang had become very popular within the team, and everyone cared for him.

Even Jin Yu had come to terms with it. Her admiration for Xie Zheng was more about respect than romantic feelings. She was naturally outgoing and had already given up on her feelings when Xie Zheng confessed his love for Fang Ziyang. Now, seeing the couple together didn’t bother her.

In fact, she was more excited about the gifts Fang Ziyang promised to bring back for everyone before they left the base.

“Fang Ziyang, didn’t you say you’d bring us gifts? Hurry up and show them. If I don’t like it, I won’t forgive you…”

Impatient Jin Yu eagerly crowded around, looking expectant.

The last time Fang Ziyang gave her a necklace, it saved her career. Now that he had promised special gifts again, she was genuinely excited.

Everyone knew: Anything from Ziyang was bound to be top-notch!

Hearing this, the others’ eyes lit up too.

“Yeah, yeah, Fang Ziyang, didn’t you bring us gifts? Show them already.”

“Don’t rush, don’t rush. I’ll show you once everyone is here. I promise it’s something good.”

Fang Ziyang didn’t reveal the gift immediately, teasing them instead.

“You’re so annoying, always keeping us in suspense!”

Clearly, this wasn’t the first time Fang Ziyang had done this.

Fang Ziyang grinned mischievously, remaining calm and unbothered.

Xie Zheng, with a smile, gently tapped his little lover’s nose: playful.

Fortunately, they didn’t have to wait long. In about ten minutes, all the team members had gathered in the lounge.

Seeing that everyone, including Professor Yu, had arrived, Fang Ziyang signaled Xie Zheng to open the suitcase, revealing a box of items that looked like cosmetics.

“What’s this? ‘Bright Eyes’? Sounds like eye drops.”

Everyone gathered around, curious.

Fang Ziyang quickly explained, “Yes, these are eye drops. It’s a new product from Dongsheng Pharmaceuticals.”

A new product from Dongsheng Pharmaceuticals?

Hearing this, everyone’s eyes brightened.

Even without knowing the product’s exact function, just the fact that it came from Dongsheng Pharmaceuticals was enough to excite them.

Over the past year, Dongsheng Pharmaceuticals had made a name for itself with its miraculous beauty serum. The product’s effects were astonishing, making it impossible to ignore the company. Even if their other drugs weren’t as groundbreaking, they were still top-tier in their field. A new product specially brought out by Fang Ziyang was definitely not ordinary.

And indeed, it wasn’t.

As Tang Xun, Xie Zheng, and Rick helped distribute the items, Fang Ziyang explained,

“Bright Eyes, simply put, is an eye drop, but it’s quite different from ordinary ones on the market. It’s for both external and internal use…”

“I won’t go into too much detail. Let’s just say that if you use this, any nearsightedness under 800 degrees can be completely corrected within a month.”

“For those with more than 800 degrees, it can still bring your vision back to around 200 degrees…”

The room fell silent.

It wasn’t that they didn’t believe him; it was precisely because they did that they were stunned!

They expected something good from Fang Ziyang, but this exceeded their wildest expectations.

Correcting nearsightedness under 800 degrees to normal vision, and reducing higher degrees to around 200— this was a dream come true for people with glasses!

Currently, there were treatments for vision problems, but none were particularly effective. Laser surgery was the best option but had its drawbacks, including the risk of blindness if nearsightedness recurred.

But these Bright Eyes drops, even if their effects weren’t as powerful as Fang Ziyang claimed, were surely safe.

Nearsightedness was the biggest enemy and annoyance for academic researchers!

Even the esteemed Professor Yu was taken aback, “Ziyang, does it really work as well as you say?”

“Of course, Professor Yu. Do you think I’d exaggerate my product’s capabilities? Besides, it doesn’t just treat nearsightedness. It also helps with presbyopia, cataracts, and other eye issues, although the effects might not be as pronounced…”

This was his second priority after developing the beauty serum.

Long-term exposure to computers and phones often damages eyesight. Fang Ziyang disliked wearing glasses; they were not only unattractive but inconvenient. Even contact lenses were a hassle. So, when sorting through the goldfinger’s data, he prioritized the beauty serum and then the Bright Eyes drops.

Over the past year, Dongsheng Pharmaceuticals had stabilized the production and sales of the beauty serum, making it the perfect time to launch a new product.

Dongsheng Pharmaceuticals was also one of the sponsors of the tech competition.

“Start using them today. You’ll notice a difference each day. Just make sure to give me a shout-out during the competition…”

Fang Ziyang winked at everyone.

While good products speak for themselves, a bit of advertising never hurts. This tech competition was a prime opportunity.

“I’m already seeing the benefits.”

Tang Xun added, smiling, as he pointed to his eyes, now free of his trademark gold-rimmed glasses.

Though his glasses had given him a scholarly, handsome look, he had never liked them due to the inconvenience. They were uncomfortable!

Tang Xun’s endorsement eliminated any doubts.

“I’m trying it now!”

Impatient Jin Yu eagerly unwrapped her package and began reading the instructions.

She, too, had nearsightedness, always needing glasses for research and contact lenses for going out. Not only was it a hassle, but it also affected her looks. She despised her nearsightedness but couldn’t avoid it due to her work with computers and phones, creating a frustrating cycle.

In fact, almost every academic or researcher dealt with nearsightedness. Their entire team wore glasses, the only difference being the degree of nearsightedness.

Fang Ziyang’s gift was perfect for everyone.

Soon, the room was filled with the sound of unwrapping as everyone eagerly tried the product.

Ten minutes later…

Chaos ensued.

“Ahh, what are these black things? Are my eyes really that dirty? Are these the so-called toxins?”

“Just like the beauty serum, this product is amazing!”

“Hurry, Miss, where’s the restroom? I need to go now…”

Similar to the beauty serum, Bright Eyes also had a detoxifying effect. Although it was initially alarming, the results were undeniably impressive.

The more severe cases of nearsightedness would take longer to see results, but those with minor nearsightedness could already see a clearer world, ensuring full recovery within a month.

“Fang Ziyang, from now on, I’ll stop being envious and jealous of you and just sing your praises all day!” Then Dongsheng Pharmaceuticals could develop more products she loved!

Jin Yu, thrilled, raised her hand and declared she would become Fang Ziyang’s number one fan from now on.
