"No way," Lin Qingwan stated with certainty. "With Jiang Yutong's intelligence, what kind of trap could she possibly dig for me? Besides, it's been so long, and hasn't that skincare line been completely problem-free?"
The secretary nodded.
Those skincare products indeed had no issues.
Their effectiveness was exceptionally good.
"I guess Jiang Yutong has realized that going against us is pointless and has simply given up the struggle," Lin Qingwan said.
The secretary frowned.
Was it really like that?
Then why did she still have such an uneasy feeling in her heart?
"Let's go."
Lin Qingwan smiled.
"President Lin, where are you going?" the secretary asked, puzzled.
"Of course, I'm going to properly meet with Jiang Yutong."
Lin Qingwan straightened her clothes.
"Why go find Jiang Yutong?" The secretary was full of confusion.
Lin Qingwan smiled slightly. "I'm going to gloat over her misfortune, of course."
Originally, they were just business rivals. She wasn't that petty a woman; if Jiang Yutong lost to her, Lin Qingwan, she wouldn't stoop to being a small-minded person and go rub it in.
But who told Jiang Yutong to try and steal Little Xuan, that brother, away?
Also, last time, Jiang Yutong had bragged right in front of her about her relationship with Xuan.
She simply couldn't swallow that anger.
With such a good opportunity to mock Jiang Yutong, she didn't want to miss it.
Hearing Lin Qingwan's words, the secretary suddenly understood.
"Alright, President Lin, I'll go arrange the car for you right away."
The secretary hurriedly left the office.
Lin Qingwan swirled the wine glass in her hand.
"Jiang Yutong, ah, Jiang Yutong, you are destined to be no match for me."
Lin Qingwan curled her lips in a cold smile.
Still thinking about snatching Little Xuan, that brother, away? What a dream.
Lin Qingwan picked up her phone and instructed, "Same as before, allocate all our company's production lines to manufacturing the Supreme Series skincare products."
That skincare set was very effective, its reputation had already spread, and surely more and more people would come to buy it in the future.
Their company would make a huge profit along with it.
So, the more of this Supreme Series skincare produced, the better.
"Understood, President Lin, I'll arrange it right away," the manager said respectfully.
Lin Qingwan hung up the phone and sneered.
"Jiang Yutong, after this, let's see how you can still act so proud."
With this Supreme Series skincare set,
their company was guaranteed profits without losses.
Whereas the projects Little Xuan's company was involved in were prone to failure.
In the future, when Little Xuan failed, she could extend a helping hand.
Adversity reveals true feelings; Little Xuan would surely forgive her, his eldest sister.
She had treated Little Xuan quite poorly before, often neglecting his feelings, but it hadn't reached an unforgivable point yet.
Believing that Little Xuan would see her sincerity and forgive her.
The secretary soon called back.
"President Lin, the car is arranged and is now waiting at the company entrance," the secretary said respectfully.
"Good, I know." Lin Qingwan nodded and went down to the lobby on the ground floor.
As soon as Jiang Shuqin saw Lin Qingwan, she smiled and went up to meet her, followed by a group of society ladies.
"Mom, what brings you here?" Lin Qingwan frowned slightly, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Jiang Shuqin walked up to Lin Qingwan and said with a smile, "Wan'er, I heard the skincare set your company produces is selling like crazy."
"Yes." A smile appeared on Lin Qingwan's face. "That series is indeed selling a lot; everyone seems to like it very much."
Jiang Shuqin was beaming with pride. "My daughter is truly remarkable."
The society ladies who came with Jiang Shuqin also chimed in with praise: "Wan'er is really talented and accomplished for her age, creating such a successful venture so young."
"That's right. Shuqin, you are fortunate. Even though Starlight Group went bankrupt, your daughter is so promising. Your daughter will definitely ensure you live a proud and comfortable life."
Jiang Shuqin nodded with a smile. "I am indeed very grateful to have given birth to several daughters, and also very fortunate to have a son like Li'er."
At the mention of Lin Li, the two society ladies couldn't help but exchange a glance.
Having a son like Lin Li was considered a fortunate thing?
They would be too ashamed to have someone like that.
If Lin Li were their son, they'd probably disown him.
One society lady collected her thoughts and said, "Wan'er, look, I want to buy that Supreme Series skincare set from your company, but it's so popular I simply can't get it. Do you still have any in your company? Could you sell some to me?"
"Yes, yes, I'd like a set too," another society lady nodded in agreement.
They had come to Lin Qingwan's company mainly for that skincare set.
Preferably, they could get several sets.
Their husbands had been worried about a few business deals lately.
If they could gift this Supreme Series skincare set to their potential partners' wives to curry favor, the deals would surely go through.
"Do we still have any skincare sets?" Lin Qingwan looked at her secretary.
The secretary took out her phone. "President Lin, please wait a moment, I'll call and check."
"Alright." Lin Qingwan nodded.
After saying a few words on the phone, the secretary hung up.
She reported respectfully, "President Lin, we only have eleven sets of the Supreme Series skincare left in our company's internal stock."
"Good, I understand." Lin Qingwan nodded.
She looked at her mother and the two society ladies.
"Mom, aunties, how many sets do you need?"
The society lady was overjoyed. "I need those skincare sets for gifting, so of course, the more, the better."
Jiang Shuqin spoke up, "Then, Wan'er, have someone bring all the skincare sets over. I'll take one set, and the rest can go to them."
"Okay."
Lin Qingwan nodded and immediately gave the order.
The two society ladies couldn't stop praising her.
"Wan'er, you are truly outstanding, actually developing skincare with such remarkable effects."
"Yes, yes. I believe your DR brand will definitely become a world-renowned company."
"Shuqin, if I had a daughter like Wan'er, I'd wake up laughing from my dreams. It's truly enviable."
The corner of Lin Qingwan's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
She enjoyed others' praise immensely.
Jiang Shuqin also wore a broad smile.
Hmph.
That Lin Xuan still wanted to see their Lin family fall into decline by bringing down Starlight Group.
That Lin Xuan probably never expected that Wan'er would achieve such great success.
Wan'er is in the skincare and cosmetics industry, while Lin Xuan is in internet and entertainment. He can't interfere with Wan'er's company at all.
Therefore, Lin Xuan's wish to see the Lin family's downfall is destined to fail.
She couldn't wait to see Lin Xuan's frustrated expression.
The skincare products were brought over by a company employee.
Jiang Shuqin held one set in her hand.
The two society ladies each carried five sets.
