This Is Toxic

Where is Ruo Xi?

An Yi asked.

Ding Renfeng smiled and said, "She's in the office. Boss, your visit will definitely make Director Lan very happy."

An Yi felt a bit embarrassed. It seemed like it had been a long time since his last visit to the company.

"Looks like you really like it. Then this dog is yours now. Take good care of him."

An Yi said as he handed over the soul chain to Ding Renfeng.

Ding Renfeng:

"What the hell do I want with this ugly dog?!"

Hongtian held his head high and chest out.

He actually quite liked this long-haired dog.

Sincere, genuine, no pretense!

Hongtian stared at Ding Renfeng with his one-eyed gaze, burning with intensity.

"Come on! Say a few more compliments!"

Ding Renfeng yawned, bored, scratching the messy long hair and dragging the leash. "Let’s go, I’ll take you to my office for a tour."

Hongtian:

"Director Lan, our market share has been taken by Wudu Cosmetics."

Wang Yuan looked at the documents in his hand and sighed lightly.

His expression was quite troubled.

In the conference room,

Several company executives were gathered, all silently staring at the data projected on the screen.

Although An’s company still held an absolute advantage in the high-end cosmetics sector,

Wudu Cosmetics’ numbers were steadily catching up.

Their growth was almost linear, and surpassing An’s company might not be impossible.

Lan Ruoxi’s face was cold and expressionless.

She fully understood the flaws in An’s company’s products.

To be honest, except for the flagship product, Jade Beauty Elixir, none of the other developed products could dominate the market.

Though Jade Beauty Elixir was effective, its drawbacks were glaring.

Its exceptional efficacy made it prohibitively expensive.

Those little golden bottles had even become popular gifts, often limited editions.

Nowadays, people no longer scramble for Maotai liquor, but for these little golden bottles.

They were even regarded as excellent gifts!

But the emergence of Wudu Cosmetics would shatter this thriving situation.

Their product line was more complete, their efficacy superior, their prices more affordable, and their massive advertising campaigns spared no expense.

Overnight, they exploded across all major platforms, with a momentum even more intense than the appearance of the little golden bottles.

The executives of An’s company dared not speak.

The cosmetics market was vast.

When Jade Beauty Elixir first appeared, it almost monopolized the beauty segment.

But Wudu Cosmetics was advancing like a storm, steadily eating away at their customers!

"Let’s end the meeting here. Everyone, work hard on drafting a plan. We’ll meet again tomorrow morning."

Lan Ruoxi rubbed her temples, her stunning face pale.

Soon, the conference room emptied.

As Wang Yuan stepped out, he looked at Lan Ruoxi and sighed, "Director Lan, you don’t have to be too anxious. Things will work out in the end."

"Yes, Director Wang, I’ll be relying on you a lot lately," Lan Ruoxi forced a smile.

Wang Yuan’s smile was tinged with bitterness.

"If the products can’t compete, then marketing is the only way."

He had a plan!

But recreating the brilliance they once had would be difficult.

Lan Ruoxi looked haggard, staring at her laptop screen as she analyzed the survey data over and over, trying to find a new angle.

“Take a break. You can work on this tomorrow. Don’t wear yourself out; someone would feel sorry for you.”

A voice came from behind Lan Ruoxi.

Startled, she turned around abruptly, her delicate frame tense, and met An Yi’s eyes, which shone with delight. “You… you came?”

“Look at my star performer,” An Yi said, glancing at Lan Ruoxi’s weary appearance with a hint of concern.

Lan Ruoxi had always been gentle and refined.

Just a short time apart, and she had grown noticeably thinner, her figure becoming even more slender and graceful.

“Didn’t I tell you to rest properly? If there’s something urgent, just delegate it to your team. Why exhaust yourself like this? Is that Wang Yuan slacking off again?”

Lan Ruoxi shook her head, smiling softly. “No, Director Wang has been working really hard. Even after a breakup, he’s been burning the midnight oil in the office. Don’t be too hard on him.”

“What’s going on recently?” An Yi asked gently.

He could clearly sense that the company’s revenue had taken a significant hit this month.

“Something must be wrong.”

Lan Ruoxi sounded a little upset. “A company called Wudu has emerged recently, aggressively squeezing our market share. We’re being seriously challenged.”

“Wudu? The Five Poisons Sect?”

An Yi raised an eyebrow, instantly making a connection.

“Uh, it can’t be that coincidental, right?”

“But such a bizarre name—could it really be a clash?”

“These are their products,” Lan Ruoxi said, pointing to the items on the table, her voice serious.

Even she had to admit, their products were truly impressive.

Nowadays, it seemed there wasn’t a girl who didn’t like them; for many, it was like hitting the bullseye.

“I want to see what could possibly beat our Jade Beauty Serum!” An Yi said, casually picking up a bottled product.

He had a vague feeling that the packaging looked familiar—like he’d seen it somewhere before.

“This is called Youth Rejuvenation Serum. It shares some effects with our Jade Beauty Serum, but its wrinkle-reducing power is terrifying. They claim it makes you look ten years younger, and that’s no exaggeration,” Lan Ruoxi said quietly.

“Ten years younger!?”

An Yi suddenly recalled something and quickly sniffed the bottle.

Sure enough, this was the product Zi Xin had introduced before!

“This stuff is toxic!”

But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him.
