Lin Chen brought Xue Ying back to the hotel after 2 PM, and after eating, they returned to the President Suite.
Seeing Xue Ying sitting on the bed in a daze, Lin Chen smiled, "What's the matter, Sister Ying, didn't you like the food in Capital City?"
Xue Ying blinked her large eyes at Lin Chen, "We're going straight into the dragon's den tomorrow, how can I even think about eating!"
Looking at Lin Chen, Xue Ying couldn't help but zone out. When she first met him, Lin Chen was just a poor boy with nothing to his name, but in less than a year, he had become the chairman of a multi-billion-dollar group and was even arm-wrestling with international corporations like the East Beauty Group.
"Lin, don't push yourself too hard, we've already made enough money. Compared to that, I care more about your safety," Xue Ying expressed her concern.
Lin Chen smiled, sitting beside Xue Ying, "Don't worry, Sister Ying. I know my limits. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. East Beauty Group is just a paper tiger. Since I dared to provoke them, I'm confident enough. Just keep being the happy queen of business you are.
From tomorrow on, East Beauty Group will become history, and we, the people of Hua Xia, will dominate the world of cosmetics."
Xue Ying looked at Lin Chen somewhat absentmindedly, "You're really getting more ambitious."
"Haha, I have an even bigger dream, and that is to make Sister Ying the happiest woman in the world," Lin Chen laughed.
Xue Ying gazed at Lin Chen tenderly. Suddenly, she embraced him tightly, resting her head on his shoulder as her tears began to flow uncontrollably.
"Lin, I've missed you!"
Feeling her softness, smelling the familiar scent of her body, Lin Chen nibbled on Xue Ying's earlobe and whispered, "I've missed you too."
The two held each other tight, collapsing onto the soft bed.
The next morning, when Lin Chen woke up, he felt incredibly relaxed. It had been a long time since he had felt this relaxed; all fatigue had vanished completely. Despite a night of intimacy, Lin Chen felt neither tired nor worn out, instead, he felt fresh and clear-headed.
Unbeknownst to him, Xue Ying had already slipped out from his embrace. She was currently facing the mirror, getting dressed up.
Dressed in an elegant and majestic red cheongsam, her hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, tracing her delicate waist. Her beautiful face bore a gentle smile, charming and stunning like a blossoming flower.
Xue Ying playfully pushed Lin Chen away, "Come on you big head, look at the time! You should get dressed too. We have a conference to attend."
"Get dressed? Brother is naturally suave, no need for dressing up!" Lin Chen bragged, showing off his muscular chest.
"Humph, if you're so capable, go to the conference just like that!" Xue Ying snorted coldly.
Though they joked around, Xue Ying still found clothes for Lin Chen and helped him dress. She also applied gel to his hair. The care she took made her seem like a dutiful wife.
This time, the driver was Deathbringer, and the three of them left the hotel heading straight for the main venue of the Hua Xia Cosmetics Summit.
This Hua Xia Cosmetics Summit was expected to be the most heated one in years, with almost all of Hua Xia's famous cosmetic companies in attendance.
This time, the summit was organized by East Beauty Group.
As the opening time of the summit approached, luxury cars crowded the front of the East Ocean Hotel.
Bugatti, Maserati, Phantom...
One by one, the tycoons of the cosmetics industry gathered at the venue.
At that moment, many people were gathered around Tian Zhong, all with ingratiating smiles on their faces.
"Mr. Tian Zhong, after this summit, East Beauty Group will dominate half of Hua Xia's cosmetics market. Congratulations!" the president of Meiya Group said, raising his glass to flatter.
The others too crowded around Tian Zhong, showering him with flattery.
"Under Mr. Tian Zhong's leadership, East Beauty Group's market in Hua Xia has been thriving. The dominant position in the cosmetics kingdom of Hua Xia will undoubtedly belong to East Beauty Group."
"Exactly, how can the cosmetics of Rodin-country and Eagle-country compare to those of East Beauty Group?"
This flattery hit all of Tian Zhong's sweet spots; hearing their sycophantic remarks, his face beamed with delight, laughing arrogantly, "Welcome everyone to join East Beauty Group. We'll earn money together. As for those ungrateful small companies, let them be obliterated."
Hearing Tian Zhong's bold declarations, the people around him echoed in agreement.
"Mr. Tian Zhong is correct; Starlight Group counts for nothing. They're just a small company that has just been established and yet dares to contend with East Beauty Group. They truly don't know whether they're alive or dead."
"Yeah, let's drive them out of our cosmetics market at this summit."
These people were all leaning towards East Beauty Group.
In their eyes, Starlight Group was just an ant before the mighty East Beauty Group, and, of course, they would stand on the side of East Beauty Group.
However, there were exceptions. Jin Mingzhu and several other cosmetics company heads were sitting in the corner of the venue.
They had all rejected East Beauty Group's acquisition offer, so this summit was equally treacherous for them.
Tian Zhong cheerily approached Jin Mingzhu with a glass of wine, "Chairwoman Jin, you've had plenty of time. Have you decided which side you're on? Will you soar with us or go down with Starlight Group?"
Facing Tian Zhong's sinister look, Jin Mingzhu had a very unpleasant expression. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "I stand with Starlight Group. After all, we're a Hua Xia enterprise, and we don't like being led by others."
Hearing Jin Mingzhu's words, the faces of several directors behind her turned very ugly.
After all, Starlight Group and East Beauty Group were not on the same level; the two companies were completely mismatched. Jin Mingzhu choosing Starlight Group was simply suicidal.
"Good, haha, I didn't expect Ms. Jin to still harbor such patriotic sentiments. Since that's the case, you can go down with Starlight Group!" Tian Zhong laughed arrogantly.
