"Master Zhong."
Lin Qingwan walked to Zhong Yan's side and spoke in a low voice, audible only to the two of them. "About the skincare product issue, could you help me cover it up? I can agree to any condition you ask for."
Lin Qingwan had forgotten there was a small amplifier near Master Zhong.
Her words were clearly transmitted to everyone present.
The distinguished ladies at the scene immediately erupted.
"The skincare products really are problematic! How shameless is Lin Qingwan? She's trying to bribe Master Zhong right here on the spot?"
"Oh no, oh no, my face."
"If my face really gets ruined, I'll never be done with the Lin family!"
The people from DR Beauty Company also wore expressions of agony.
Many of them had used this skincare product too.
If it really causes disfigurement, their faces would surely suffer as well.
Furthermore.
If the company gets into trouble, they would definitely be laid off.
Faces ruined, and jobs lost.
They were just celebrating promotions and raises moments ago...
The minds of the Lin family members were also buzzing with noise.
They came happily to attend Wan'er's company celebration banquet, how could things have developed like this...
"Master Zhong, I'm begging you this time. My father's company went bankrupt, my company absolutely cannot have any more accidents. Master Zhong, as long as you agree to my request, I'll agree to do anything you ask." Lin Qingwan said urgently.
If the company goes bankrupt.
Her money would be gone, and she would also lose the ability to be Xiao Xuan's backing.
Then, she might never get Xiao Xuan to acknowledge her as his eldest sister in this lifetime.
Jiang Shuqin quickly walked onto the stage and reminded her, "Wan'er, there's an amplifier next to you. Everyone heard what you just said."
"What!"
Lin Qingwan's face turned completely pale.
They actually heard it...
Then how could she possibly cover this up?
Zhong Yan said coldly, "Sorry, I do not accept bribes in any form."
Lin Qingwan pinched her own arm. The sharp pain brought back a sliver of rationality.
She couldn't panic.
There might still be room to maneuver.
Perhaps the problem Master Zhong mentioned is just a minor issue, not something that would cause disfigurement.
Lin Qingwan took a deep breath and spoke, "Master Zhong, then what exactly is the problem with our skincare product?"
Master Zhong said, "The problem lies with the Kirin Grass in this skincare product."
The skincare product researcher frowned and said, "Kirin Grass is something that can beautify the skin, how could it possibly cause problems?"
Zhong Yan said, "However, when this Kirin Grass is used together with the Bloodvine Grass, Earring Grass, and Sea Orchid in your product, these four ingredients combined produce a powerful toxin. When applied to the face, no issues are apparent at first. But after using it for a period, toxins accumulate, and the face will break out in severe acne, which will later fester."
Zhong Yan's words matched the condition of Mrs. Chen's face earlier.
Zhong Yan spoke again, "Very few people know about the issues arising from mixing these four ingredients. Coincidentally, I have experimented with them. If you doubt me, you can conduct your own experiments to see if what I say is right or wrong."
Lin Qingwan staggered on her feet.
Her company's skincare product really could disfigure people...
It's over.
Everything is over.
She was also live-streaming this; the entire internet knows. She wants to suppress it, but there's simply no way.
Master Zhong guaranteed, "I hereby declare that the appraisal conducted today on DR Beauty Company's Supreme Series skincare products is fair and impartial. The result regarding the product was not influenced by any instructions or bribes from anyone."
"I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."
As Zhong Yan passed by Lin Xuan, his footsteps paused.
He wanted to say something, but Lin Xuan shook his head at him.
Master Zhong understood, nodded, and left the celebration banquet.
Everyone else was crowding around Lin Qingwan; none of them noticed the interaction between Master Zhong and Lin Xuan.
Only Lei Hui and Jiang Yutong, who had been enjoying the drama and watching the spectacle, noticed.
"Boss, do you know Master Zhong?" Lei Hui asked curiously.
"Yes, I know him."
Lin Xuan nodded. "I helped him once."
Zhong Yan's granddaughter had an incurable illness.
He was the one who cured his granddaughter.
Master Zhong even wanted to become his disciple, but he didn't accept.
Taking on an apprentice is quite troublesome.
He'd rather find a place to sleep or play on his phone in that time.
"So, boss, did you invite this Master Zhong here?" Lei Hui asked again.
"Yes."
Lin Xuan nodded. "It was me. He's very authoritative and highly skilled. Having him appraise Lin Qingwan's company's skincare product was the most suitable choice."
Lei Hui couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"Boss, this move of yours is brilliant, truly brilliant!"
Tsk tsk tsk.
Their boss is so formidable. Who knows which fool without eyes will next deliver themselves to the boss to deal with?
Those targeted by the boss don't end up well.
But the boss is quite merciful in his own way; if you don't provoke him, he basically won't take the initiative to deal with anyone.
Those distinguished ladies were now surrounding Lin Qingwan, demanding an explanation.
"Lin Qingwan, my face has already broken out in a few pimples, and surely many more will come. It must be your company's skincare product that caused it. Tell me, how are you going to make it up to us?"
"Lin Qingwan, you praised this skincare product to the skies. I really thought it could improve facial skin, but instead, it's ruining my face! If you don't give me a satisfactory solution today, don't think about leaving!"
Lin Qingwan's mind was buzzing with noise.
"I don't know, I don't know anything."
"Ah—"
Lin Qingwan covered her head and crouched down on the ground in despair.
She simply didn't know how to resolve this matter.
Settle it with money?
But so many people bought this product; her money is nowhere near enough to compensate everyone...
Develop a solution to repair facial skin? Chen Qing's face has already become like that; repairing it would be very, very difficult.
Even if a repair solution could be developed, it would require a long time and a great deal of financial resources.
Furthermore, all the company's funds were invested in producing the skincare products; there isn't even ten million in liquid assets on the books.
Her company has no money to do anything.
Yes.
She still has several hundred million in personal savings.
But throwing that money in would be like using a cup of water to put out a cartload of burning firewood.
Seeing the aggressive stance of the angry ladies, none of the Lin family dared to approach Lin Qingwan.
They all hid in a corner.
Lin Qingwan was grabbed and scratched by those furious ladies.
Her hair became disheveled, and several bloody scratches appeared on her face.
Lei Hui, munching on melon seeds, said with satisfaction, "What a great show this is. Spectacular, truly spectacular."
Watching the drama with the boss is just great.
Lin Qingwan's face has really been slapped hard, hasn't it?

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. 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. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
