Chapter 288: Chapter 288: What’s Wrong with the Face_1
This damn bird, Qin Feng was growing more and more suspicious of it. So he directly asked, "What kind of trick are you trying to play?"
"I’m not playing any tricks! I’m just helping you cultivate the ’Xuanhuang Medical Classic.’ You have to believe that everyone might harm you, but Hua won’t."
Qin Feng certainly didn’t believe Princess Huahua’s nonsense and continued to ask, "Why do you want to help me?"
"Because you have the once-in-a-millennium Heaven Yang Physique! Even your ancestors weren’t as gifted as you are. What’s more, you have a wife with the Heaven Yin Physique; it’s a match made in heaven! The chaos in the Three Realms, only you have the power to turn the tide and restore order!"
Qin Feng: ...
On Huanmei Group’s side, after working overtime for several days, Yu Keqing had finalized all the procurement contracts.
Once the contracts were signed, Xiao Manlian immediately instructed finance to make the payments. All the raw materials Yu Keqing had purchased were shipped back overnight.
All the cooperating OEM factories ramped up production, working overtime to start producing White Cream.
Yu Keqing’s operational plan gave Xiao Manlian confidence; she needed to produce as many products as possible, to make a big profit in seven days, creating the capital for Huanmei Group’s rebirth.
As for the issues with the product, they would all be pinned on Yu Keqing when the time came. The ruined reputation of Huanmei Group would also be blamed on her.
After finishing all the tasks, Yu Keqing finally felt a sense of relief.
After several nights without sleep, she had a good rest.
When she woke up early in the morning, she washed her face and sat in front of her vanity, ready to give herself a beautiful makeover.
However, the moment she saw her face in the mirror, Yu Keqing was dumbfounded.
Many melasma spots had appeared on her face, densely packed. They looked as disgusting as the black spots on a white-fleshed pitahaya.
How could her face have become like this?
Could it be because there was a problem with White Cream?
To thoroughly test the effect of White Cream, Yu Keqing hadn’t used any other cosmetic products in recent days, only White Cream.
In fact, she had had a vague sense of unease two days ago.
Because, after applying White Cream, Yu Keqing felt her face was no longer as moist and smooth as before.
But at the time, she was busy negotiating raw material purchases with the medicinal material suppliers and didn’t focus too much on White Cream.
At the same time, she also thought that because she had been staying up late and working hard during this period, her skin wasn’t as moist after applying White Cream.
But now, seeing the melasma covering her face, Yu Keqing was utterly sure there was a problem with White Cream.
After all, White Cream was the key to Huanmei Group’s revival, with all the group’s resources, funds, and even its future staked on it.
If White Cream really had an issue, and customers’ faces ended up like hers with melasma all over after application,
let alone selling the product, Huanmei Group’s reputation would be destroyed in an instant. The compensation that would then have to be paid out would be unaffordable, even if the Group were sold off!
Although it was Monday, Yu Keqing should have taken the day off, as she had worked overtime over the weekend.
But the thought of a potential problem with White Cream made her restless. She immediately changed her clothes, jumped into her Mercedes G-Wagen, and rushed to the company.
President’s Office.
Seeing Yu Keqing enter the door still wearing a mask, Xiao Manlian was surprised.
"Assistant Yu, aren’t you supposed to be off today? Why did you come to the company? And why are you still wearing a mask, could it be that you have a cold?"
"If you’re sick, you should rest more. I’ll give you a few more days off. If you need to visit the hospital, then go to the hospital. Don’t delay it too long and turn a small ailment into a serious sickness."
Yu Keqing did not say much but simply took off her mask.
As soon as she saw Yu Keqing’s face, Xiao Manlian was stunned. Her eyes widened, and her jaw almost dropped in shock.
Yu Keqing’s face was full of melasma, looking like freckles.
At this moment, where was the national beauty of Yu Keqing? Her appearance was simply hideously strange, right?
The densely packed spots on her face gave people a feeling that could only be described with two words—disgusting.
Xiao Manlian was overjoyed, she was gleeful in her heart.
Yu Keqing had always been superior to her; before, Yu Keqing was the president, and she was just a director.
Now, although she had replaced Yu Keqing and become the president of Huanmei Group.
Still, Yu Keqing’s beauty remained superior to hers, even by a long shot.
As long as Yu Keqing’s beauty remained, she could always hook up with Qin Dongrui, and her position as president would not be secure.
Now, Yu Keqing’s face was ruined, covered in freckles.
With Qin Dongrui’s character, he would definitely not fancy Yu Keqing anymore and would discard her like a worn-out shoe.
Looking at Yu Keqing’s appearance at this moment, Xiao Manlian suddenly devised a plan in her heart.
When it was time to pass the buck to Yu Keqing, she must let Qin Dongrui see Yu Keqing’s ghostly appearance, to thoroughly disgust Qin Dongrui.
That way, not only would passing the buck be easier, but Yu Keqing would also be permanently banished by Qin Dongrui, never to rise again!
Having made her satisfying calculations, Xiao Manlian was so delighted that her heart blossomed with joy. She didn’t even bother to hide it, revealing a smug smile.
"Assistant Yu, what happened to your face? You should know, your face is your trump card! As long as you play that card, there isn’t a man who wouldn’t be utterly mesmerized by you.
But now, look at your face, full of freckles. Any man who sees it would be disgusted by your face, wouldn’t they?"
"President Xiao, I came here to discuss serious matters with you. Is there any point in mocking me like this?"
"Heh!" Xiao Manlian sneered, asking, "You want to talk business with me, Assistant Yu? What important matters could we possibly have to discuss?
Don’t you know that your current status is just that of a mere assistant. You should report any issues to your supervisor, not me, by skipping several levels and coming straight to my office."
With a commanding gesture toward the door, Xiao Manlian ordered, "Now, get out immediately. If you have issues, report directly to your supervisor, and then let it move up the levels.
The success of Huanmei Group today is due to the strict enforcement of rules and regulations. Your former status as president doesn’t permit you to bypass these levels, skipping several at once!"
Of course, Yu Keqing didn’t leave. She cut straight to the point: "There’s a problem with White Cream. If it’s not resolved now, once it hits the market, Huanmei Group will be ruined! When that time comes, you won’t be able to remain president anymore!"
