Chapter 54: Chapter 54: You’re Really Not Just Bad_1
Yu Keqing, who was already shocked before, was now so shockingly dazed.
"Is this kid even human? The things he just did, aren’t those the powers of immortals from TV dramas?"
But this wasn’t a TV drama; it was reality!
Duoduo on the sickbed woke up once more.
"Wow..."
She cried, just like a newborn baby fresh from its mother’s womb, crying. She cried loudly, with the sound of a newborn.
Compared to when Shen Baojie had saved her before, and she called out ’mom,’ Duoduo’s crying now was even more reassuring for Yu Keqing.
Still, Yu Keqing was somewhat uneasy.
"Is Duoduo really saved?" she asked Qin Feng.
"All the malicious energy within her body has been cleared by me. I’ll write a prescription for Duoduo. Just follow the prescription and take the medicine. She just needs to rest and recuperate quietly for half a month, and then she can fully recover and be as lively and energetic as ever. The malicious energy in her body comes from external sources, and there must be some unclean presence in places where she frequents."
"Duoduo is mostly at home, so you mean there’s something unclean in my house? Divine Doctor Qin, could you perhaps visit my home someday to have a look?"
"Sure!"
Once Yu Keqing was certain that Duoduo was alright, she took out a check and handed it to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng took a look and was immediately displeased.
"Why is it only ten million? When it came to Divine Doctor Shen, it was a billion, but why is it reduced to ten million for me?"
"The billion for Divine Doctor Shen was just a verbal promise, not actual payment. This ten million for you is the real deal in cash. Moreover, you were disrespectful to me before, and I haven’t settled that account with you yet!"
"Ten million it is, then. It doesn’t matter if it’s a lot or a little. However, since I’ve helped save your daughter, you need to help me vent some anger."
"Vent some anger?" Yu Keqing looked at Qin Feng with a puzzled face and asked, "What do you mean?"
"You must know Ouyang Bingbing, right?"
"She’s the spokesperson for Huanmei Group, what about her?"
"I want you to terminate her endorsement contract."
This request from Qin Feng was shocking to Yu Keqing.
"Why?"
"Because she has angered me, and I am very upset."
"She has angered you, what does that have to do with me? What does it have to do with Huanmei Group?"
"Don’t forget, the unclean thing in your house, I haven’t cleared it for you yet. If you don’t help me let off this steam, the malicious energy it breeds will still afflict your daughter."
"Are you threatening me?"
"Not a threat, it’s a transaction!"
"There has to be a reason to terminate the contract with Ouyang Bingbing, right?"
Yu Keqing didn’t compromise just because she was threatened by Qin Feng. Huanmei Group was thriving, renowned both home and abroad. They no longer needed to use Ouyang Bingbing’s fame for advertisement. Ouyang Bingbing’s endorsement fee was very high, constituting a significant expense.
Half a year ago, the head of the brand department approached Yu Keqing and mentioned that the endorsement fees were too high, asking if they could replace her with a younger and cheaper spokesperson.
At that time, Yu Keqing was preoccupied with her daughter’s medical treatment and had no time to deal with this matter. For the sake of brand stability, she decided to keep everything as it was.
Last quarter, the financial report of the group came out, and the net profit had declined by forty percent compared to the same period of the previous year.
The group’s flagship product, Huanmei Beauty Oral Liquid, suffered a cliff-like decline in sales, almost halving.
Now that her daughter’s illness had been cured, it was indeed time for the group to change. For the brand’s remake, they indeed needed a change of spokesperson.
Yu Keqing’s attitude surprised Qin Feng. He hadn’t held out much hope and had only been joking. He thought he’d mention it as a precursor, and when he went to Yu Keqing’s home to rid her of that dirty thing, he’d then discuss the terms with her.
If getting Yu Keqing to terminate the endorsement contract with Ouyang Bingbing was impossible, then he thought about asking her to modify the contract terms. To have Ouyang Bingbing endorse Huanmei Group products, as well as Shencao Ji.
When Yu Keqing asked for a reason, it was obvious that this woman had long been thinking of terminating the endorsement contract with Ouyang Bingbing!
Such a golden opportunity, how could Qin Feng miss it?
"Ouyang Bingbing’s age must be a bit older than you, Mrs. Yu? She is 33 years old, and you, Mrs. Yu, are at most 30."
Yu Keqing glared at Qin Feng and snapped angrily, "Am I that old? I’m only eighteen!"
"An eighteen-year-old daughter that big? Mrs. Yu, you’re really something, huh?"
"None of your business!"
"Although Ouyang Bingbing has annoyed me, I have to say, with my hand on my heart, that her face is the face of an 18-year-old girl. Your face, Mrs. Yu, is what’s normal for your age, a mature woman’s face filled with the flavor of maturity.
A 33-year-old woman can’t possibly have the face of an 18-year-old. If she does, then there is something wrong with her face. In a week, you can meet with Ouyang Bingbing. Her 18-year-old face will surely be full of wrinkles by then, turning directly into the face of a woman in her forties or fifties.
Your Huanmei Group, even if financially declining, can’t have a middle-aged woman as a spokesperson! Is the reason I gave you good enough for you, Mrs. Yu, to go and terminate the contract with Ouyang Bingbing?"
"Ouyang Bingbing’s face will turn into that of a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties? Could it be your handiwork?"
"Am I that vile?"
"Yes."
"Keep slandering me, and watch out for me turning you into an old lady’s face. Ouyang Bingbing’s face is going to collapse because she has long been applying a certain cream. I know of that cream; it comes from Sakura Country, called Youth-Keeping Cream.
Using Youth-Keeping Cream can maintain a woman’s youthful and fresh-faced appearance, along with her skin. However, the more you use Youth-Keeping Cream, the larger the quantity needed and the worse the effect. Once it reaches a critical point, Youth-Keeping Cream will lose its effectiveness.
Women who rely on that stuff to maintain their youth will age overnight. I told Ouyang Bingbing this, but she didn’t believe me. So, I’m going to let her suffer the consequences."
"You’re just a fresh-faced kid, why should Ouyang Bingbing believe you? If it weren’t for the fact you cured Duoduo, I wouldn’t believe you either. But even if Ouyang Bingbing didn’t believe you before, once her face ages overnight like you said, she’ll naturally come to you, right? Then why must I terminate the spokesperson contract with her?"
"Isn’t she relying on her face to make a living? It’s only by smashing her rice bowl that she’ll realize how important it is to listen to me. In a week, her face will age overnight, and then she’ll lose the Huanmei Group’s endorsement contract. By then, she’ll be in despair, and that’s when I can move in and extort a large sum of money from her."
"You little rascal, you’re not just ordinarily bad!"
"Yu, are you agreeing to me?"
"Who agreed? And why do you call me ’sister’?"
"Because when I look at you Yu, I feel such warmth, I just want to call you ’sister’!"
"With Ouyang Bingbing, did you do the same, and that’s why she detested you?"
"Yeah! That’s how I am whenever I meet a beautiful ’sister’."
