Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Slapped in the Face_1
From the secretly taken photo Liu Haitao received, Ouyang Bingbing’s face did not look like the one she posted on her social media.
So, Liu Haitao highly suspected that all this was arranged by Qin Feng.
"What did you say? You’re saying Angelina is just a little internet celebrity? She’s the hottest new star in the entertainment industry right now! Could that bankrupt company Shencao Ji afford to hire a bigger star than Angelina as the spokesperson for Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream?"
Yin Zhenxiang scoffed disdainfully and asked with mockery, "May I ask Mr. Liu, which international superstar did you hire as the spokesperson for your Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream?"
"I can’t say right now, but she will appear at the press conference in a little while."
"Heh, you can’t say? Are you afraid that if you do, no one will even recognize the name? Alright, I won’t waste my time with you. I’m here today to give you one last chance. Huanmei Group is on the brink of bankruptcy, and Shencao Ji has no future. If you, Mr. Liu, can come to your senses and beg me on your knees, maybe I’ll consider letting your Kuoyang Shangmao become the distributor for Youth-Keeping Cream."
Yin Zhenxiang had come today specifically to humiliate Liu Haitao. She wanted Liu Haitao to pay the price for his previous rudeness to her!
Asking Liu Haitao to kneel, she wanted to make him submit.
Like a dog, obediently lying at her feet!
"Kneel down and beg you? In my life, other than my mother, I’ve only kneeled to one woman. That was when I was proposing, down on one knee, asking my wife to marry me. As for being the distributor for Youth-Keeping Cream, even if you, Ms. Yin, beg me, I wouldn’t do it. However, if you kneel down and beg me, maybe I’ll be moved by compassion and help you sell some goods appropriately!"
Liu Haitao’s response infuriated Yin Zhenxiang.
"It seems Mr. Liu won’t shed tears until he sees the coffin! Are you really set on going bankrupt with Huanmei Group and Shencao Ji? I will grant you your wish! When that time comes, even if you kneel and beg me, it will be useless."
Just as Yin Zhenxiang finished speaking, the image of the Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream press conference appeared on the large LCD screen.
The host, dressed in a formal gown, announced grandly, "Please welcome our Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream brand ambassador, international superstar Ms. Ouyang Bingbing."
Ouyang Bingbing?
This name surprised Yin Zhenxiang.
While Ouyang Bingbing had yet to appear, she said mockingly, "Wow, so you really did hire an international superstar. You got Ouyang Bingbing to be the spokesperson? This international superstar aged twenty years overnight. Now with a middle-aged woman’s face, she still dares to show herself? Even if she were brave enough to come out, wouldn’t she frighten the audience and make children cry?"
As soon as Yin Zhenxiang’s voice faded, Ouyang Bingbing, dressed in a black dress, gracefully walked out.
Her mature beauty shocked everyone!
Including Yin Zhenxiang.
Yin Zhenxiang’s eyes widened in disbelief at the screen.
What’s going on?
Wasn’t Ouyang Bingbing’s face ruined?
How did she become even more beautiful and charming than before in just a few days?
Ouyang Bingbing’s transformation instantly caught the attention of the entire network.
The press conference for the Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream shot up to the number one trending spot.
Instantly, the live stream was swarming with five hundred million viewers.
You have to know, when introducing the Youth-Keeping Cream, Tianlong Group spent several billion in advertising. Even at its peak, the viewership in their live stream had barely exceeded two hundred million.
Although the Youth-Keeping Cream also hit the trending search, it quickly fell off.
Ouyang Bingbing’s popularity was truly unmatched in Dragon Country.
Yin Zhenxiang felt bitterly jealous and also very angry.
It’s all because of that Weibo post from Ouyang Bingbing that she thought Ouyang Bingbing’s face was completely ruined.
Otherwise, how would she have gone looking for the influencer Angelina to be the brand ambassador?
It wasn’t enough to just snatch away Huanmei Group’s market; they had to take their brand ambassador as well to prove Tianlong Group’s unrivalled power.
"Ms. Yin, are you very disappointed at this moment? Indeed, Ouyang Bingbing is no longer eighteen, but she has become even more charming. Her image now is more suitable for endorsing Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream, isn’t it? After all, our product is aimed at mature women with certain financial means, not eighteen-year-olds who don’t need rejuvenating creams."
"So what if you got Ouyang Bingbing to endorse? Don’t think just by having a influential spokesperson that your low-grade Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream will sell! Besides, Ouyang Bingbing will at most just stand there like a vase. Show her face, earn her endorsement fee and leave. You couldn’t possibly hope that such an international star would actually sell products for you!"
At this time, Ouyang Bingbing picked up the microphone and began to speak.
"I know everyone is curious how my face, which was in such a bad condition before, has become better looking now. Regarding the previous incident, I need to apologize to Huanmei Group. My face did not become like that because of the Huanmei Beauty Cream. It was a product called the Youth-Keeping Cream that did this to my face."
As soon as Ouyang Bingbing said this, the entire internet exploded.
The Youth-Keeping Cream once again soared to the trending search.
However, all the news was negative.
It was all descriptions of allergic reactions to the Youth-Keeping Cream, with corroborating photos and videos, of course.
Yin Zhenxiang was stunned.
She couldn’t believe that Ouyang Bingbing would actually openly tear down the Youth-Keeping Cream.
Ouyang Bingbing continued.
Holding the microphone with a grateful expression, she said, "My face has regained its youth thanks to Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream. It is the Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream that gave me a second life. Tonight at eight, I will be in the live stream room sharing my experience during this time and answering everyone’s questions..."
Ouyang Bingbing was actually going to do a live stream?
"Ms. Yin, what were you saying just now? You said Ouyang Bingbing would be like a vase, just stand there, earn an endorsement fee and then leave? But I just heard her say she’s doing a live stream at eight this evening! Oh, and Ouyang Bingbing also mentioned that the Youth-Keeping Cream ruined her face. Could it be that the Youth-Keeping Cream she refers to is the one from your Tianlong Group?
"I really hope the Youth-Keeping Cream she mentioned just happens to have the same name as the one from your Tianlong Group. Otherwise, with Ouyang Bingbing’s influence, your Tianlong Group’s Youth-Keeping Cream might just end up like the Huanmei Beauty Cream. Unable to sell a single bottle overnight."
"The Youth-Keeping Cream Ouyang Bingbing mentioned is not produced by Tianlong Group! Don’t think that just because you got Ouyang Bingbing to be your spokesperson and do live stream sales, your Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream will actually sell. Even if she’s popular, you might sell some, but it definitely won’t be a hit. With your brand and your pricing, you absolutely can’t compete with the Youth-Keeping Cream."
After leaving these harsh words behind, Yin Zhenxiang left.
