Xiao Xuan?
Lin Qingwan quickly looked towards the Skyline Group building.
She indeed saw Lin Xuan.
Lin Qingwan's eyes also welled up with excitement.
Great.
She finally got to see Xiao Xuan again.
But...
Lin Qingwan hesitated a little. "Xiao Xuan has never wanted to be close to me. If I go directly to find him again, won't he think I'm particularly annoying?"
Her secretary persuaded her: "President Lin, if you keep avoiding Young Master Lin and staying far away, you definitely won't be able to repair your relationship with him."
Seeing Young Master Lin more often can also help President Lin give up sooner.
Otherwise, she keeps nagging in my ear about wanting Young Master Lin to acknowledge her as his eldest sister; it's driving me crazy.
"You're right, I'll go see him now."
Lin Qingwan straightened her clothes and got out of the car.
She walked straight up to Lin Xuan.
"Xiao Xuan." Lin Qingwan called out cautiously.
Seeing Lin Qingwan's figure before him, Lin Xuan frowned.
Talk about running into the wrong person.
How did I bump into Lin Qingwan again?
"What is it?" Lin Xuan's tone was as cold as ever.
"Xiao Xuan, long time no see," Lin Qingwan said.
Lin Xuan didn't speak, just looked at Lin Qingwan.
He wanted to see what high-sounding words Lin Qingwan would come up with this time for finding him.
Lin Qingwan asked, "I don't have anything major to find you for, Xiao Xuan. I mainly just wanted to have a good chat with you."
"How is your company doing lately?" Lin Qingwan asked.
Lin Xuan retorted, "What do you think?"
Lin Qingwan was left speechless by Lin Xuan.
For a moment, she didn't know how to continue this topic.
She could only press on, saying, "Xiao Xuan, my cosmetics company has also taken off. The Supreme Series skincare line in my company is very popular. In the future, there's a great chance my company could develop into a globally renowned cosmetics company."
The Supreme Series skincare products are truly stunning.
As long as nothing goes wrong, she will definitely be able to develop DR Cosmetics into a world-famous company.
"I know," Lin Xuan nodded. "Your Supreme Series products are plagiarized from Jiang Yutong's company's products, right?"
"That's not true at all," Lin Qingwan instinctively denied. "Xiao Xuan, don't listen to Jiang Yutong's nonsense."
Back then, her father's company plagiarized Skyline Group's "King's Pesticide" game. Xiao Xuan must absolutely despise plagiarists.
She absolutely must not let Xiao Xuan know that her company's Supreme Series skincare products were developed by someone under Jiang Yutong.
Lin Qingwan said anxiously, "Xiao Xuan, you really mustn't be fooled by Jiang Yutong. My company is so much bigger than Jiang Yutong's; I have no need to steal her company's products."
"Jiang Yutong's company and mine have always been rivals. She's had it in for me for a long time. Since she can't get back at me in the skincare market, and she sees how much I care about you, she goes to you to drive a wedge between us, making you misunderstand me, and then I'll be upset."
"Yes, that's exactly it! Xiao Xuan, you mustn't fall into the trap she's digging for you."
Lin Qingwan's demeanor made it impossible to tell she was twisting the truth.
Lin Xuan's face was filled with sarcasm.
These words sounded somewhat familiar.
Previously, after he had spoken with Jiang Yutong for a while, Lin Qingwan came to him and said similar things, claiming Jiang Yutong was being nice to him just to make her (Lin Qingwan) upset.
"Lin Qingwan, you're so vehemently denying plagiarizing Jiang Yutong's company's products," Lin Xuan said mockingly. "So you do know your plagiarism is something to be ashamed of."
Lin Qingwan clenched her fists.
Although she had done things to hurt Xiao Xuan in the past, did he have to use such hurtful words to provoke her?
"Xiao Xuan, Jiang Yutong really has ill intentions," Lin Qingwan said urgently.
Lin Xuan remained unmoved.
Having lived two lives, he could still tell who was sincere with him and who was hypocritical.
Worried that arguing with Lin Xuan would worsen their relationship, Lin Qingwan changed the subject.
"Forget it, Xiao Xuan, let's not talk about these unimportant people anymore."
"Xiao Xuan, now that my company is about to really take off, your eldest sister can be your backing in the future. Whether you need money later or want your eldest sister to help you with anything, you can come to me," Lin Qingwan said.
"Then let's talk after your company actually develops," Lin Xuan said with a cold laugh.
"Miss Lin, you should pay close attention to the recent issues with your skincare products," Lin Xuan said with a slight smile. "To avoid any... accidents."
"And, cut out the hypocritical acting in front of me in the future. To be honest, it's really quite nauseating."
With that, Lin Xuan walked past Lin Qingwan and left.
Lin Qingwan's face was full of dejection.
What exactly did she have to do to make Xiao Xuan accept her as his eldest sister?
She really regretted it. If she had cared more about Xiao Xuan in the past and hadn't bullied him like her other sisters did, would his attitude towards her be better?
"President Lin," the secretary comforted her. "Don't be too sad. Young Master Lin will see your sincerity sooner or later."
"Mhm," Lin Qingwan nodded.
The secretary had been with Lin Qingwan since she started her business.
She knew very well what attitude Lin Qingwan had towards Lin Xuan before.
President Lin was very impatient with Young Master Lin.
She threw the meals he brought her into the trash.
She even found his clothing embarrassing and had people throw him out of the company, forbidding him from entering again.
The secretary couldn't help but vent internally.
Given the way the Lin family treated Young Master Lin before...
If she were Young Master Lin, she would never return to the Lin family.
Not to mention, now Young Master Lin is highly capable and owns such a large company.
Young Master Lin now simply looks down on the Lin family's meager offerings. Even if President Lin's DR Company develops into the number one international cosmetics company, it would still be far inferior to Young Master Lin's Skyline Group.
She didn't know where President Lin got the confidence to think she could be Young Master Lin's backing in the future.
"Let's go back," Lin Qingwan instructed.
What she needed to do now was to quickly develop her company.
"Yes, President Lin."
The secretary drove the car back to the company.
As soon as Lin Qingwan entered the company, a manager hurried over.
"President Lin, something's happened," he said urgently.
Lin Qingwan's heart skipped a beat. "What happened?"
The manager replied, "Customers who purchased our Supreme Series skincare products have reported that their faces are becoming red and itchy."
Lin Qingwan's heart tightened.
That's impossible.
The formula for the Supreme Series products had been reviewed by a master; they had also tested it. There were no problems.
And given Jiang Yutong's cautious nature, she would definitely ensure the skincare products were flawless before letting them enter the market.
"How many people have reported this condition to us so far?" Lin Qingwan asked.
Yanxi reminds you: Due to Fanqie's requests exceeding 3 million per day, causing excessive server pressure, it is now recommended that you use sources from other major providers.
