Chapter 431: Chapter 431: Trial Results
Zhang Zixin was plagued by anxiety.
Wang Yan comforted him, "Don’t be discouraged yet. Didn’t they say people with acne get priority? Maybe this time, they’ll actually be able to cure your acne. It breaks my heart just looking at your face."
Zhang Zixin shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly. "Even major hospitals couldn’t do anything about it. I’m not expecting this to cure it. I’m just here for the ten thousand yuan. As long as I make some money, that’s all that matters."
Wang Yan sighed as well and pointed to her arm. "My skin is just a bit dark. I don’t know if I’ll pass the screening. If I could really get a little fairer, it would be worth it even without the ten thousand yuan."
The line of people moved forward slowly.
Ding’s Pharmaceutical Factory’s recruitment process was highly efficient this time. Several screening booths were set up on-site, where volunteers had to first submit their physical exam reports and then go through a simple interview.
A little after eleven in the morning, it was finally Zhang Zixin’s turn.
He took a deep breath and walked into a private screening room.
A doctor in a white coat was sitting behind a desk, carefully looking through his physical exam report.
"You’re Zhang Zixin, correct? All your physical indicators are quite normal."
The doctor looked up, his gaze landing on Zhang Zixin’s face. "Hmm, you certainly have a lot of acne on your face. You meet our recruitment criteria. You’ve passed."
Zhang Zixin was stunned for a moment. He hadn’t expected to pass so quickly.
Feeling a surge of excitement, he quickly thanked the doctor.
"Remember, be here at eight o’clock sharp tomorrow morning," the doctor instructed. "A dedicated bus will take you to the trial center."
When Zhang Zixin walked out of the screening room, he was met by an anxiously waiting Wang Yan.
"How did it go? Did you pass?" Wang Yan asked.
"I passed!" Zhang Zixin laughed freely. "You should go in. I’m sure it’ll be fine."
Hearing this news didn’t make Wang Yan feel much more relaxed.
She walked into the screening room, her heart pounding with uncertainty.
Before long, she also came out, her face lit up with excitement.
"I passed too! This is great."
Wang Yan waved her hands happily.
With both of them having passed the screening, a huge weight was finally lifted from their shoulders.
They decided to celebrate, so they found a nearby restaurant, ordered several dishes, and chatted as they ate, full of anticipation for the trial to come.
The next day was bright and sunny.
Zhang Zixin and Wang Yan arrived early at the entrance of the Ding’s Pharmaceutical Factory. A brand-new bus was parked there, its body emblazoned with the Ding’s Pharmaceutical Factory logo.
Quite a few people were already on the bus, all of them volunteers just like them.
The bus started slowly, heading toward an isolated compound in the Feng City Suburbs.
This was the trial center for Ding’s Pharmaceutical Factory.
The compound’s environment was beautiful, with lush, shady trees and fresh air.
After arriving at the trial center, all the volunteers were assigned to well-equipped, single-person hospital rooms.
Although they were called hospital rooms, they were more like comfortable hotel rooms, complete with private bathrooms, TVs, and Wi-Fi.
The only requirement was that all volunteers could not leave the trial center during the experiment, and all activities were to be conducted under the supervision of the medical staff.
In the afternoon, the official trial began.
The medical staff distributed a small bottle of Aloe Vera Frost and detailed instructions to each volunteer.
The Aloe Vera Frost’s packaging was simple and elegant, exuding a fresh aura.
"Everyone, please follow the instructions and apply the Aloe Vera Frost evenly to your face, once in the morning and once at night."
A nurse patiently explained, "Do not wash it off after application; let the skin absorb it fully. During this period, please do not use any other skincare products or cosmetics."
Zhang Zixin returned to his room and opened the Aloe Vera Frost.
A faint, fresh scent of Aloe Vera wafted to his nose, instantly refreshing him.
He squeezed some of the Aloe Vera Frost onto his fingertips. The frost was a milky white color, with a fine and smooth texture.
Looking in the mirror, he gently applied the Aloe Vera Frost to his face.
The moment the frost touched his skin, it brought a cool and comfortable sensation. There was no irritation at all, only pure moisturization.
The Aloe Vera Frost was quickly absorbed by his skin. It didn’t leave a greasy feeling on his face; on the contrary, his skin felt refreshed and soft.
He felt the tightness in his face disappear, replaced by an unprecedented feeling of relaxation.
Life as a test subject was monotonous and regimented.
Every morning and night, Zhang Zixin would apply the Aloe Vera Frost on schedule.
Besides applying the Aloe Vera Frost, he also had to fill out a detailed skin condition log every day. He recorded various indicators like the number of pimples, skin radiance, and changes in skin tone, and cooperated with the medical staff for regular skin tests and photo documentation.
Every day, he would chat with Wang Yan on his phone, sharing their experiences.
"How are you feeling? I feel like the acne on my face isn’t as red anymore," Zhang Zixin asked.
Wang Yan quickly replied, "Me too! My skin doesn’t feel as dry, and it seems a little brighter? Or am I just imagining things?"
As time went on, a miraculous change quietly took place.
After the first week passed, Zhang Zixin looked in the mirror and could hardly believe his eyes.
The acne on his face had visibly decreased, and most of the redness and swelling had subsided.
His once pockmarked skin had become much smoother. Even some new pimples quickly deflated. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
What surprised him the most was that his face was no longer shiny with oil like before, but instead had become hydrated and radiant.
He excitedly sent a message to Wang Yan: "Wang Yan, my acne has really gotten a lot better! How’s your face?"
Wang Yan sent back a voice message, her tone filled with amazement: "Oh my god, me too! I feel like I’ve gotten fairer, I really have! My old sunspots have faded a lot, and my skin has become so smooth and delicate."
The two were incredibly excited and finally ran into each other during a routine check-up.
When they saw each other’s faces, they both gasped in astonishment.
On Zhang Zixin’s face, aside from a few faint, stubborn acne scars, most of the acne had completely disappeared. His skin had become smooth and fine, radiating a healthy vitality.
Wang Yan’s skin had undergone an even more earth-shattering transformation.
Her originally dark complexion had become fair and translucent, displaying a natural, healthy glow.
The sunspots on her face were almost gone. She looked as if she had become several years younger, and her aura had become more outstanding.
"This... this is practically medicine from the Immortals."
Zhang Zixin exclaimed with immense emotion.
Wang Yan touched her face and nodded. "I never imagined my skin could get this good. This is more effective than any whitening product."
Over the next few days, the condition of their skin continued to improve.
By the end of the two-week trial, there was no trace of acne left on Zhang Zixin’s face. His skin had become as smooth as jade, even better than his skin had ever been at its best.
Wang Yan’s skin had achieved the cool-toned fair complexion she had always dreamed of. She was absolutely radiant, as if she had been completely reborn.
Her smile became more confident, and her eyes shone with a new light.
On the day the trial ended, they received their payment of ten thousand yuan.
But for them, the results of participating in the trial were worth far more than the money itself.
