After a while, Lin Qingwan completely calmed down.
A cold smile curled at the corner of her lips as she stated her purpose for coming here. "Jiang Yutong, don't worry about Little Xuan and me just yet. You should be more concerned about your own company's affairs."
Jiang Yutong raised an eyebrow.
Just as she had thought, Lin Qingwan had come today to show off.
Lin Qingwan wasn't usually this imprudent.
Based on her understanding of Lin Qingwan's character, Lin Qingwan wouldn't come to the company specifically just to brag.
So, it was highly likely that Lin Qingwan couldn't stand seeing Little Xuan getting close to her, felt jealous that this 'little brother' was being taken away, and had come specifically to kick her while she was down out of spite.
However, Lin Qingwan's hopes were destined to be dashed, because the one who had jumped into the pit was Lin Qingwan herself. The company that would go bankrupt in the future would be Lin Qingwan's. There was no way Jiang Yutong would be the one to crack.
Lin Qingwan lifted her chin. "Jiang Yutong, your employees must have reported to you, right? Our company's Supreme Series products are selling like hotcakes and are now completely sold out."
Jiang Yutong raised an eyebrow. "And so?"
Lin Qingwan said with a cold laugh, "And so, from now on, our company will rely on this product line to develop better and better, even becoming the number one cosmetics company in the world."
She was well aware of the effects of the Supreme Series products.
With just this one product line, their company could dominate the cosmetics industry.
She really wanted to know which team or individual had developed this series.
She wanted to poach them from Jiang Yutong's company to their DR Cosmetics.
However, she had investigated for a long time but found nothing.
But it didn't matter.
If Jiang Yutong's company relied on products developed by that person, she could just copy them later anyway.
Jiang Yutong was destined to do all the work only for her company to reap the benefits.
"Oh, congratulations then," Jiang Yutong said with a smile.
Lin Qingwan's brows furrowed slightly. "Jiang Yutong, why do you have that expression?"
Ever since she started speaking, she had been watching Jiang Yutong closely.
She wanted to see Jiang Yutong crack with her own eyes.
But she didn't!
She didn't see a trace of anger or frustration on Jiang Yutong's face.
Jiang Yutong remained calm the entire time.
It gave her the feeling that everything was under Jiang Yutong's control.
This feeling was truly unpleasant.
"What expression should I have?" A smile appeared on Jiang Yutong's face. "Miss Lin wants to see me crack and suffer? Then you're destined to be disappointed."
Knock knock. Jiang Yutong's secretary entered the reception room, bringing a cup of tea for Jiang Yutong.
As for Lin Qingwan, the secretary didn't prepare any drinks or snacks for her.
"Lin Qingwan, I know what kind of expression you want to see from me, but you won't get to see it."
Crack?
How could that be?
She was secretly delighted if anything.
"Lin Qingwan, don't you think everything has gone a bit too smoothly? From copying our company's product to selling out and greatly increasing your brand recognition—hasn't it all been a little too easy?"
The secretary's hand, pouring tea, paused for a moment as she glanced at Jiang Yutong in confusion.
Lin Qingwan frowned tightly.
Too smoothly... yes, it did seem a bit too smooth.
"Lin Qingwan, there's an old saying in Xia Country—'Anything out of the ordinary is likely a sign of trouble.' Aren't you afraid I secretly set a trap for you to fall into?" Jiang Yutong said with a smile.
Lin Qingwan thought of something and retorted with a cold laugh, "Jiang Yutong, don't try to make me nervous with these words. I won't fall for your tricks."
Ridiculous.
It had been so long, and there hadn't been any issues with the skincare products. Consumers who used them were all praising how effective their company's products were.
There couldn't possibly be a problem with the skincare.
Since there was no problem with the product, how could there be a trap?
Upon hearing Lin Qingwan's words, Jiang Yutong didn't argue, just shook her head and smiled.
She took a sip of tea and placed the cup on the table.
"Lin Qingwan, I'll leave it at that. Whether you believe me or not is up to you."
After saying this, Jiang Yutong left the reception room.
The secretary followed behind her.
"President Jiang," the secretary asked curiously, "Weren't you afraid that what you just said would make Lin Qingwan suspicious and lead her to investigate the skincare products?"
"No," Jiang Yutong said with certainty. "She's extremely arrogant. Since she has successfully copied our products so many times before, she'll be very confident that she succeeded this time too."
The secretary nodded.
Based on her understanding of Lin Qingwan, that was indeed how Lin Qingwan would think.
Jiang Yutong continued, "So, she'll only think my words were meant to annoy her, that they couldn't possibly be true. Besides, even if she does become suspicious, she won't be able to figure out where the problem lies."
If she weren't completely sure, she wouldn't have said what she did.
This was a trap set by Little Xuan. She couldn't ruin the plan Little Xuan had worked so hard to set up.
What if Little Xuan refused to acknowledge her because of it?
The secretary smiled and said, "I'm really looking forward to the moment Lin Qingwan discovers the truth. Her expression will surely be priceless."
"I'm looking forward to it too," Jiang Yutong said with a smile.
Seeing Lin Qingwan unhappy brought her great joy.
Thankfully, Little Xuan was helping her. Otherwise, her company would have been suppressed by Lin Qingwan all along, and she probably would never have been able to get back at Lin Qingwan on her own.
"I wonder if Little Xuan has returned from abroad yet?" Jiang Yutong sighed.
"Secretary Chen, tell me, what exactly do I need to do to get Little Xuan to acknowledge me as his sister sooner?" Jiang Yutong looked at the secretary.
This was driving her crazy with anxiety.
It had been so long, and there had been no progress at all in getting Little Xuan to acknowledge her.
"Well, President Jiang, I've never had the experience of getting a brother to acknowledge me either, so I don't know. But being sincere towards him can't be wrong."
Secretary Chen secretly grumbled to herself.
Great.
President Jiang's 'little brother obsession' is acting up again.
But if she had a younger brother as outstanding as Lin Xuan, she would also hope to get him back every day.
Lin Qingwan had come specifically to gloat to Jiang Yutong, but not only did she fail to make Jiang Yutong crack, she ended up filled with anger herself.
"Jiang Yutong!"
Lin Qingwan stamped her foot, her face full of a cold sneer. "I know you're pretending, acting like you're unaffected. I bet you hate me to the core in your heart, you're just not showing it."
Hmph.
Just wait until her company becomes an internationally renowned cosmetics company, and Little Xuan acknowledges her as his big sister. She didn't believe Jiang Yutong would still be able to sit still then.
Black Triangle, Golden Dragon Gang base.
The members of the Golden Dragon Gang were gathered together, discussing animatedly.
"What's going on? The gang leader and his girlfriend haven't come out for three days again."

So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too.

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
