“Speak up.” The three women rarely spoke in unison.
If this problem could be solved, then the matter would be well handled. They only needed to follow protocol and they would earn astonishing profits.
Xu Yixue was under even more pressure with a bet made with her family. Have the family’s industry in Zhonghai City double within six months. Now, nearly a month had passed, and while Xinghai Media Company had already improved significantly, they were still far from that target.
She was aware that the bet was obviously meant to constrain her; it was only because of the family head Xu Xuanyi’s face that she was given this half-year respite. But after six months, things would still be the same. After all, it was a bet that was impossible to fulfill.
Knowing it was deliberate difficulty, Xu Yixue still gritted her teeth and accepted the challenge because she didn’t want to live a life she wouldn’t like and couldn’t bear to leave Tongtong behind.
Therefore, she bore immense pressure, constantly pushing herself to strive towards that goal.
Initially, she harbored little hope, which could even be described as slim, but the smallest hope is still hope.
However, owing to Xu Fan’s change of heart and comeback, Xu Yixue’s hopes began to blaze more intensely.
As long as Xu Fan was by her side, miracles would become commonplace.
An impossible bet would see a favorable turning point.
Xu Fan said, “We can find replacements for Red Profound Wood and Ink Mist Grass. Although the effect will be much weaker, the cost can be greatly reduced.”
“How much weaker, specifically?” The three women couldn’t help but worry.
“About five percent of the current medicinal effect.”
“That’s not too bad.”
Having five percent of the medicinal effect was already quite good. With multiple uses, the cumulative effect would still achieve a decent outcome.
Chen Shiyu calculated, “If it takes ten minutes for the original ointment to remove scars, using this weakened version of the beauty cream could remove scars in three to four hours, which is still quite impressive.”
The Qin Family and the Sun Family rivaled one another, even the names of their hotels were in competition: his was the Junlin Grand Hotel, and the Qin Family’s was the Jun Tian Grand Hotel, as if to surpass his own.
Therefore, he didn’t have much fondness for the Qin Family.
Guests entering and leaving the hotel were surprised and curious to see Sun Lihua, the owner himself, waiting at the door.
With Sun Lihua’s status, even the head of the Sun Family demanded respect, arguably a big figure in Zhonghai City. He was known for his sense of justice and strong gangster-like presence, hence many people wished to be associated with him. But there were only a few who could make him wait at the entrance to greet them.
People speculated who could be so prominent to warrant such deference from Sun Lihua.
For a while, many people stayed in the lobby, eagerly awaiting to catch a glimpse of the coming guest.
And in Zhonghai City, the highest standard hotels were none other than Jun Tian and Junlin, which meant esteemed and affluent people frequented these establishments, all distinguished in their own right.
After waiting for nearly ten minutes, a luxury car came speeding from the distance, pulling up in the parking lot. As the car door opened, a man in his thirties, tall and burly with a distinct chiseled face, dressed in a suit, got out with an impressive demeanor.
This man was none other than the owner of the Night Castle, Black Dragon, also known as Brother Long.
Two muscular bodyguards in black followed closely on either side of Black Dragon, their eyes sharp and fierce, vigilantly scanning the surroundings.
“Big bro, this suit is really uncomfortable. Wouldn’t it be better to wear a vest and shorts? Why the whole suit?” The bodyguard on the left was obviously not used to his attire restricting his movements.
“Yeah, big bro, we’re the ones who do the chopping, not the snobbish dandies. And it’s just the three of us? Shouldn’t we call some brothers for backup?” The other bodyguard voiced his insecurity.
“Stop your whining. We’re here for a meeting, not a fight. Just relax, both of you.”
With a snort, Black Dragon warned, “The person we’re meeting this time is very important, so don’t make a fool of yourselves. Even if it’s uncomfortable, you’ll just have to bear with it. Besides, I haven’t complained, so why are you two starting to make a fuss? How does that look?”
Ahua and Abin quickly changed the subject, asking eagerly, “Big bro, who are we meeting that you’re making such a big deal about it?”
“Hehe, don’t worry, it’s someone we know, someone you’ve met before. The one who took his kid to the zoo,” Brother Long said with a meaningful smile.
Hearing this, Ahua and Abin instantly turned a few shades paler...@@@@
