Conference Room No. 2.
"In the last few days, under Mr. Zhang’s leadership, the Paris Spring cosmetic product that had been slow-moving is now selling like hotcakes! It is expected that by the end of work tomorrow, the remaining 100,000 units in stock will be completely sold out! Here, on behalf of the company, I want to thank Mr. Zhang and the team of sales staff in the public relations department. I have already instructed finance to transfer the previously promised bonus to the public relations department’s account shortly," said Cheng Tianxue.
"On behalf of everyone in the public relations department, I thank Mr. Cheng and the company!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.
"Mm." Cheng Tianxue nodded.
Then he continued, "Recently, I’ve received many orders from big customers, who are offering a high price to purchase a batch of Paris Spring! Mr. Zhang, explain your reasons for stopping this deal."
"Since Mr. Cheng has asked, I’ll speak frankly," Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Firstly, the Paris Spring produced by our company is complete trash!" Zhang Xiaohao stated bluntly.
Ma Xiaorong, the finance department manager, slammed her hand on the table and coldly snapped.
"Mr. Zhang! Watch your language! If the Paris Spring produced by our company is trash, why is it selling so well?"
"Don’t slap the table at me! Be careful, or you might be the next one getting so scared you lose control of your bladder and bowels," Zhang Xiaohao said coolly.
"Mr. Zhang!" Cheng Tianxue said sternly.
"Don’t look at me with that kind of expression. I’m merely stating a fact. The Paris Spring that our company originally produced is absolute garbage! It’s selling well for two reasons," Zhang Xiaohao said.
"I would love to see what kind of explanation you can come up with!" Ma Xiaorong scoffed coldly.
Zhang Xiaohao completely ignored her, as if she didn’t exist.
"The first reason this product is a bestseller is because I used my connections to find a master, paying a significant price for his single intervention! He added a new skincare serum to the original product," Zhang Xiaohao explained.
"Hmph!" Ma Xiaorong snorted coldly, but couldn’t find the words to argue back.
"Secondly, if it wasn’t for my connections and spending a lot of money on advertising on the entire TV network of Southern Province, could our company’s trash product have become a hot seller?" Zhang Xiaohao said with a hint of playfulness.
"Since you’ve managed to get him to intervene once, then you could make him do it a second time! It’s just a matter of price, so tell me! How much money do you want before the other party will make a move?" Ma Xiaorong said with a sneer.
"Mr. Ma, that’s quite reasonable of you! You know, there’s a guard downstairs who’s still single, and he’s taken a liking to you. Just name your price, how much do you want to marry him? To be his wife and bear his children," Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Shut up!" Cheng Tianxue snapped.
"Let me make it clear once again. This is a company, not a farmers’ market!" said Cheng Tianxue.
"Mr. Zhang, are you telling me that the expert won’t help us out again?" Cheng Tianxue asked.
"Mr. Cheng, to be honest, even if I wanted him to, I cannot find him now," Zhang Xiaohao said helplessly.
"Mm." Cheng Tianxue nodded.
He subconsciously thought of Master Old Ghost when he heard Zhang Xiaohao mention the master.
"Given the circumstances, once the stock of Paris Spring is sold out, we will completely cease its production!" Cheng Tianxue decisively declared, exhibiting the authority of a domineering female CEO.
"The second matter is about the company’s newly developed product. All stages of development have been cleared and it had been scheduled to go on sale yesterday. But due to some unforeseen events, it was delayed. I’ve decided to launch it today since as the saying goes, there’s no time like the present. At 2:30 this afternoon, we’ll hold a press conference to launch the new cosmetic product on sale!" said Cheng Tianxue.
As her voice fell, the staff who had been prepared brought out more than a dozen sets of the new cosmetic products, presenting them in front of the attendees.
Cheng Tianxue held a set of these cosmetic products in hand and began to introduce them.
"This product is called ’Light of Hope’! Theoretically, it can be used on all body parts! After using it for a week, the results are quite remarkable! The skin becomes noticeably whiter, more tender and attractive, rejuvenating a woman’s second spring."
After she finished speaking, everyone present began to unpack the cosmetic set called "Light of Hope".
Zhang Xiaohao did the same.
Once unpacked, the "Light of Hope" revealed a set of four items.
Two bottles for internal use, one bottle of skin toner, and one for external use.
"Hmm?" Zhang Xiaohao frowned.
He sniffed vigorously a couple of times and then proceeded to open up the four bottles of cosmetics.
He picked them up one by one, taking care to smell each one thoroughly. For more chapters visıt 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥
Then he picked up other cosmetics nearby and began to smell those as well.
"Mr. Zhang, is there something amiss?" Su Ruobai asked.
"Don’t tell me you’ve never seen women’s things and are taking the opportunity to have a good sniff!" Ma Xiaorong mocked.
"Shut your mouth! From now on, if you dare utter one more useless word, the next person to suffer incontinence will be you!" Zhang Xiaohao snapped back coldly.
Recalling the scene that had previously happened in the finance department and facing Zhang Xiaohao’s eyes cold as a knife, Ma Xiaorong immediately wilted.
"There’s poison in this! If we launch ’Light of Hope’ for sale, it will be a catastrophic blow to our company!" Zhang Xiaohao stated gravely.
"What? Impossible!" Cheng Tianxue exclaimed in disbelief.
She had invested all her savings into the "Light of Hope" cosmetics line.
For that, she had to agree to her grandfather’s demand and became engaged to Zhang Xiaohao!
She had spent a lot of time and effort to successfully develop it.
Now, hearing Zhang Xiaohao’s words, Cheng Tianxue immediately stood up.
She looked at Zhang Xiaohao coldly, as if she would not let him off the hook unless he gave a satisfactory explanation.
"Mr. Cheng, please sit down! Let’s first hear what Mr. Zhang has to say," Su Ruobai said.
"Hmph!" Cheng Tianxue huffed and sat down in her chair.
"I understand that this matter might be a devastating blow to everyone present! This product has almost drained all of our company’s financial and material resources, all with the aim of making a spectacular comeback! However,"
Zhang Xiaohao deliberately paused at this point.
He swept his gaze over the faces of those present, then took another glance at Cheng Tianxue.
"However, it really is an utterly useless product! If used long-term, the toxins inside could cause significant harm to the human body!" Zhang Xiaohao declared seriously.
"Bring Elder Huo to me!" Cheng Tianxue demanded with a stern face.
By now, she had completely calmed down. If Zhang Xiaohao was saying this, he certainly had his reasons.
"As you wish, Mr. Cheng!" Cheng Tianxue’s secretary responded respectfully.
A quarter of an hour later.
An aged figure dressed in a black suit, followed arrogantly by four disciples, walked in.
"Mr. Cheng, I hear someone has been slinging mud at me? Slandering the ’Light of Hope’ cosmetics line that I personally developed as poisonous?" Elder Huo spoke icily.
