Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Interlocking Links_1
After coming up with a plan, Xue Yuhang immediately started making arrangements.
After making a few phone calls, he managed to invite Taoist Master Xuanqing from Five Tiger Mountain.
Xue Yuhang reviewed Taoist Master Xuanqing’s information and, feeling smug, began to show off again.
"Do you know who I managed to invite?"
"Who?"
"Taoist Master Xuanqing from Five Tiger Mountain!"
"Never heard of him."
"Hahaha..."
Qin Feng’s response elicited loud laughter from Xue Yuhang.
After laughing, he mocked, "For a small fry who hasn’t seen the world like you, it’s not surprising at all that you haven’t heard of him. Five Tiger Mountain is a famous Taoist mountain in Dragon Country, and Taoist Master Xuanqing is the ghost king catcher of Five Tiger Mountain. He’s caught tens of thousands of ghosts, big and small. If it weren’t for the face of Mr. Xue here, someone like Xue Xiaochan wouldn’t have been able to invite him. Tomorrow night, Taoist Master Xuanqing will go to Moon Lake to catch ghosts. Then, you can all go and have a look. Go and witness the capabilities of your second brother!"
"Fine! See you later, second uncle-in-law! We’ll meet tomorrow night."
Qin Feng left with Xue Xiaochan.
Back in the car, Xue Xiaochan, looking worried, asked, "This Taoist Master Xuanqing, why does his name sound so mystical? Is he up to the task?"
"Don’t know."
"You actually don’t know?"
"I don’t know Taoist Master Xuanqing, how could I be clear about how powerful he really is?"
"So are we going tomorrow night?"
"Of course we are!"
Since Xue Xiaochan was driving, Qin Feng was chatting with her off and on while checking out a live stream on his phone.
Xue Xiaochan’s attention was drawn to the soft voice, and upon turning her head, she saw a beautiful female streamer on the phone screen.
"What are you looking at?"
"Watching jokes!"
"Jokes? Do you believe I can turn you into a joke?"
Ahead was a small alley leading to a dead end with no one around, so Xue Xiaochan promptly drove the car into it.
This move from the lady immediately filled Qin Feng with trepidation.
"What are you doing?"
"Sorting you out!"
Xue Xiaochan snatched Qin Feng’s phone in an instant.
It was then that she clearly saw Qin Feng was watching Angelina’s live broadcast.
At that moment, Angelina was striking poses and dancing, and naturally, the shopping cart displayed the Youth-Keeping Cream.
Although the launch of the Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream had created some impact on the sales of Youth-Keeping Cream, the market share of the Youth-Keeping Cream was much higher than that of the Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream.
After all, Shencao Ji only hired Ouyang Bingbing as their spokesperson, with barely any other advertising investment.
Tianlong Group, on the other hand, was spending cash like crazy on advertising and channel marketing.
The Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream relied solely on customer word-of-mouth.
Xue Xiaochan, with a sullen face, asked fiercely, "Why are you watching her? Is it because she dresses coolly, has a hot body, and frequently sends benefits to you brain-dead fans?"
Qin Feng, cool as a cucumber, chuckled inferiorly, saying, "Wife, you never dance around me dressed like that, so naturally, I have to watch other women!"
Enraged, Xue Xiaochan clenched her little fists and threatened coyly, "Are you itching for a beating?"
"Not just itching, I’m itchy all over."
"I’ll pound you to death!"
Little powder fists pelted Qin Feng like raindrops.
Of course, Xue Xiaochan was not hitting hard.
This was just her playing around with Qin Feng, part of their love banter.
Suddenly.
"Ah!"
A scream came from the phone, emitted by the streaming Angelina.
Her fair and pretty face suddenly broke out in many red bumps, turning into that of a toad.
The livestream was cut off.
The comments section became lively in an instant.
"What’s wrong with Angelina? What happened to her face?"
"Could there be a problem with the Youth-Keeping Cream?"
"I have a friend who, after using the Youth-Keeping Cream, got lots of red bumps on her face. Calling the official customer service was useless. Later, a hospital visit revealed it was an allergic reaction."
"Exactly, I have a friend who experienced the same."
...
The rhythm in the livestream room had been hijacked.
Angelina didn’t show up again, and the livestream room was quickly shut down.
Qin Feng hurriedly opened up Weibo and indeed found that Youth-Keeping Cream had become a trending topic.
However, after a few minutes, the trending topic was removed.
All negative information about the Youth-Keeping Cream on the internet was blocked.
It seems that Tianlong Group’s financial power had played a decisive role.
After a series of events, the clever Xue Xiaochan quickly understood what was happening.
"Did you know that Angelina’s face would have problems today?"
"Yes."
"Why did you know?"
"Because I’ve seen her!"
"Seen her?"
Xue Xiaochan immediately showed a suspicious expression and asked cautiously, "When?"
"That night, you were working overtime, and I went downstairs to buy you some barbecue. As I reached the ground floor, I saw a young master with a group of people harassing Angelina. That young master was none other than Lu Zhengxiong’s son, Lu Chuyang."
"So you played the hero to save the beauty?"
"Of course! After all, I’m a man of justice!"
"Pfft, show-off!"
Xue Xiaochan, annoyed, pinched Qin Feng, and she pinched his thigh.
Because the flesh there was tender, the pinch was quite painful.
Meanwhile, because of the sudden outbreak of red pimples on her face, Angelina was rushed to Yoshida Hospital.
The hospital director, Yoshida Takuma, received her personally.
After performing a series of tests on Angelina, Takuma Yoshida produced a jar of black ointment that had been prepared in advance.
"This is the Age-lock Ointment. The red bumps on your face appeared suddenly because you only applied the Youth-Keeping Cream, causing an allergic reaction. Use this Age-lock Ointment in combination with the Youth-Keeping Cream. Apply the ointment first, then the cream, and within three days, your face will recover. Moreover, your skin will become even fairer."
How could they sell just one beauty product? The trick lies in selling a whole series!
After using the Youth-Keeping Cream for a week, most people would develop red bumps on their face, which would only go away by using it in combination with the Age-lock Ointment.
At the same time, the skin would indeed temporarily look better.
But within at most half a month, problems would arise again.
And then, Tianlong Group would launch a new product, instructing customers to use it in combination.
According to Takuma Yoshida’s plan, they would eventually launch no less than a hundred products.
By then, every woman who has used the Youth-Keeping Cream would have to buy each and every product.
No matter how expensive, they must purchase!
This would bring trillions in exorbitant profits to Yoshida Company.
"If I apply this Age-lock Ointment, will my face recover?"
Having been once deceived, Angelina was somewhat distrustful.
"If you don’t apply it, within three days, your face will completely decay. Isn’t it this face that made you what you are today? If your face decays, will your fans still like you? They will all run away! If the fans leave, you’ll be worthless."
Though still doubtful, Angelina had no other choice.
She had to bite the bullet, take the Age-lock Ointment, and prepare to give it a try.
