Jiang's Hotel.
Waiters continuously brought dish after dish to Lin Xuan and Jiang Yutong's table.
Jiang Yutong introduced, "Mr. Lin, Jiang's Hotel is under my family's company. These are all signature dishes from our restaurant. Please try them and let me know what you think."
Lin Xuan recalled how, a week ago, he had eaten with Jiang Yutong and then later with Su Hua. That night, he had practically stuffed himself to the point of discomfort.
If not for the... ahem, exercise with Su Hua afterward, he wouldn’t have been able to sleep at all.
"I'm not hungry, so I'll pass for now," Lin Xuan said.
He’d rather save his appetite for when he dined with Su Hua later.
"Alright," Jiang Yutong nodded, not pressing him further.
Lin Xuan quickly skimmed through the contract before nodding in approval. "The contract looks fine."
He picked up a pen, signed his name, and pressed his fingerprint onto the document.
"Mr. Lin," Jiang Yutong couldn’t help but ask, "may I know what kind of beauty products your lab is currently developing?"
The effects of the perfume and acne-removing ointment he had provided were nothing short of astonishing.
She couldn’t resist wanting to know what his next product would be.
"Ah, this? Actually, I brought some with me—they’re in my car. I’ll have my bodyguard bring them over."
Truthfully, all those beauty products were stored in his spatial inventory, but with Jiang Yutong present, he couldn’t just materialize them out of thin air.
Lin Xuan pretended to make a call on his phone.
"Miss Jiang, please wait here. My bodyguard is bringing them over—I’ll go retrieve them."
He stepped out of the private dining room and returned shortly after, holding a bag.
Jiang Yutong’s eyes were glued to the bag in Lin Xuan’s hands.
It seemed to contain quite a few items.
Could they all be beauty products?
At that thought, she shook her head.
She must be going crazy.
How could the entire bag be filled with beauty products?
Just the two perfumes and the ointment he had provided before were already mind-blowing—products her company could never replicate in a lifetime.
There was no way the bag was packed with more of them, right?
Lin Xuan walked back to the table and unceremoniously placed the entire bag in front of Jiang Yutong before taking his seat opposite her.
"This is…?" Jiang Yutong was utterly bewildered.
Lin Xuan replied, "Beauty products."
Jiang Yutong: "!!!"
It really was!
And so many of them!
Lin Xuan continued explaining, "Inside, there are whitening products, spot removers, scar treatments, tinted moisturizers, and perfumes in various scents."
Jiang Yutong’s jaw dropped.
There were even more than she had imagined!
Shouldn’t a bag like this only fit three or four bottles at most?
How could there be so many?
She reached into the bag and saw an assortment of beauty products haphazardly stuffed inside.
Given the miraculous effects of the previous perfume and ointment, Jiang Yutong had no doubt that anything produced by Lin Xuan’s lab was extraordinary.
Seeing them tossed around so carelessly now made her heart ache.
She began carefully extracting each item, treating them like treasures, and arranging them neatly on the nearby coffee table.
"For now, this is all I have. If you think it’s not enough, we can always develop more," Lin Xuan said.
In truth, he had formulated all these products in his spatial lab before outsourcing their production.
"Not enough?" Jiang Yutong stared at him.
Did Lin Xuan have no concept of what "enough" meant?
"This is more than enough," she vehemently shook her head. "Mr. Lin, these products alone will sustain our company for a long time. As for anything else you want to develop, we can take it slow—there’s no rush."
"Mm," Lin Xuan nodded.
He then added, "In the future, if your company develops any new products, you can bring them to me. I’ll have my lab staff review them."
He deliberately avoided mentioning that he had single-handedly created everything himself.
That would be too unbelievable—he had no interest in being treated like a lab specimen.
"Of course, I will," Jiang Yutong replied, barely containing her excitement.
With a lab as advanced as Lin Xuan’s, she absolutely had to have them review her company’s products for potential improvements.
"By the way, how does your company usually market its products?" Lin Xuan asked.
Jiang Yutong answered truthfully, "We mainly focus on online promotions—collaborating with beauty influencers, buying trending tags, things like that. Offline, we have counters in department stores, but since our brand isn’t well-known yet, they don’t contribute much."
Lin Xuan thought for a moment before saying, "From now on, prioritize Weibo and HuYin for promotions."
"For HuYin, I’ll send you the contact details of the person in charge. Just reach out to them directly whenever you need promotions."
Jiang Yutong’s lips parted slightly.
How could she have forgotten? Lin Xuan was the owner of Tianmu Group, which owned HuYin.
HuYin was massively popular, and with its full promotional support, her company’s products would gain widespread recognition in no time.
Even as the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, this was the first time Jiang Yutong truly appreciated the perks of having a powerful backer.
"And if you need Weibo promotions, just let me know—I’ll arrange everything," Lin Xuan added.
Jiang Yutong couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Is Weibo’s CEO a friend or relative of yours?"
"No," Lin Xuan shook his head.
Confusion washed over Jiang Yutong’s face.
From the way Lin Xuan spoke, it sounded like Weibo would provide free promotions. If he wasn’t close to Weibo’s CEO, why would they offer such preferential treatment?
Lin Xuan smirked mysteriously. "Don’t worry—they wouldn’t dare refuse."
If they did, he’d just have to remind them by hacking into their backend again.
Though puzzled, Jiang Yutong didn’t press further.
"As for brand ambassadors, my company will assign a few people. They may not be well-known now, but that will change very soon," Lin Xuan said.
"Understood. We’ll follow your arrangements, Mr. Lin," Jiang Yutong nodded.
They continued discussing other company matters afterward.
Meanwhile, in the hotel lobby on the first floor…
Su Hua strode in, dressed in a figure-hugging red dress that instantly drew countless gazes.
"Who is that?" Young Master Chen’s eyes were glued to Su Hua.
She was breathtaking—more beautiful than any woman he had ever seen.
His heart pounded uncontrollably in his chest.
"No idea," his friend, Young Master Liang, shook his head. "Could she be from the entertainment industry? But with looks like that, she’d be a superstar—there’s no way I wouldn’t recognize her. She must not be a celebrity."

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
