"Dudu dudu..."
At the Gu Family Villa, Gu Zhengxin hung up the phone, a cold smile curling his lips. He mocked, "Little girl, with your little cunning, you thought you could outsmart your grandfather? Ridiculous!"
"Hm? Dad, did Xiyan call you? What did she say?"
Gu Tianyun, Gu Zhengxin's eldest son, couldn't help but ask after hearing Gu Zhengxin's words.
"Do you even need to ask?" Gu Tiange, the third youngest of the family, interjected, "It must be Xiyan, seeing how our 'Jade Bee Dew' is selling out fast and we're about to count money till our hands cramp, she got jealous and wanted us to step back so she could earn so money too!"
As he spoke, Gu Tiange turned his head to look at Gu Tianhe, who was sitting by the side with a sowhat awkward expression, and said with a light smile, "Second brother, that's all your daughter amounts to, still talking about starting from scratch, but in the end, she still had to cave in."
Listening to Gu Tiange's mockery, Gu Tianhe and his wife felt very embarrassed, and they lowered their heads without daring to speak, feeling sowhat resentful towards Xiyan in their hearts.
Gu Zhengxin waved his hand, signaling Gu Tiange to be quiet. He then glanced around at everyone, pausing a bit longer on Gu Shiqian's face before he finally spoke:
"The third child's words are quite right. That girl, Xiyan, though she has no intention of returning to the Gu Family, lied to saying sothing about a 'hidden danger' in 'Jade Bee Dew,' like a ticking ti bomb that could ruin our family, and urged to pull back. Do you find that believable!"
Such words dropped like water into hot oil, instantly setting the Gu family mbers aboil.
"Not believable, that stinky girl, really can't see us succeed!"
"Exactly, just when we're finally making so profitable business, she actually wants to sabotage us!"
"Pull back? Then should she pay back the money we spent on this beauty recipe?"
"Exactly, we shouldn't listen to her. On the contrary, we should increase our efforts, especially since Xu Xiaojiao, that wretched woman, wouldn't have sold the recipe to just us. If we wait even a bit longer, we might not even break even!"
"..."
Aside from Gu Tianhe and his wife, who remained silent, the rest of the Gu family mbers eagerly voiced their opinions.
All of them disregarded Xiyan's words, convinced Xiyan was just envious of them.
Seeing this, Gu Zhengxin waved his hand, signaling them to quiet down.
Then he said, "Hmm, that's what I thought too, so I'm going to ignore her!"
After speaking, Gu Zhengxin looked towards Gu Shiqian. His face, previously clouded by Xiyan's words, now cleared up, his smile beaming as he began to speak:
"Today, I must comnd Shiqian here!"
Without her, our Gu family wouldn't have acquired the recipe for 'Jade Bee Dew.'
Although we suffered heavy losses because of Xu Xiaojiao, overall, we won't be at a loss.
After all, our 'Jade Bee Dew' opened the market for such beauty products. Even if similar products appear later, given that we entered the market first, custor loyalty won't erode too much, and we'll still make a tidy sum..."
Sitting in her seat, Gu Shiqian listened to her grandfather's praise, a proud yet reserved smile hanging on her face.
She smirked internally, "Xiyan, oh Xiyan, what use is there in founding the Face of Jade Group? It's still becoming my company! What use is there in joining Jinyu Company? Isn't the company's core product for the next quarter still ending up in my hands?"
...
The situation at the Gu family was unknown to Mu Jinyu.
Gu Xiyan heard Mu Jinyu's words and imdiately showed a look of gratitude.
She was aware that if it hadn't been for her, anyone else would have seen Mu Jinyu delay the release of the Beauty Pill, that could sweep all costics and health products, just to enjoy the debacle a bit more and set up an even bigger stage for the farce.
But now, because of her, he hadn't done that and had to disrupt the original plans, releasing the Beauty Pill ahead of schedule.
Gu Xiyan turned to look at Xu Qingya, who seed slightly troubled, and said, "I'm sorry, Sister Qingya, if this makes you uncomfortable, let's forget it. I will try to persuade them again later."
Although she did not want the Gu family to stir up too much trouble, Gu Xiyan was, after all, the president of Jinyu Company, and she had to consider the company's interests.
When Xu Qingya heard Gu Xiyan's words, she shook her head and smiled, "It's okay, although releasing the Beauty Pill now might be rushed, the pharmaceutical factory has been working overnight for the past few days. The reserve is still enough; there shouldn't be any chaos..."
"That sets my mind at ease," Gu Xiyan said with a sigh of relief, although apologetically saying to everyone, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble because of ."
"It's nothing," Mu Jinyu reassured Gu Xiyan for a few monts, then told Xu Qingya, "Let's set the price of the Beauty Pill at 9999 Yuan. Any more expensive and people won't be able to afford it."
Xu Qingya was slightly taken aback by his words, then nodded, "Alright."
A few days ago, Mu Jinyu had said to price it at eighteen thousand per pill, which was just right.
Now, suddenly changing to 9999, although he didn't elaborate, everyone present understood that Mu Jinyu wasn't worried about the high price deterring buyers.
Rather, he feared that if it was priced too high, so people would opt for the cheaper 'Jade Bee Dew,' and that would make the potential fallout for the Gu family even worse.
The current pricing of the Beauty Pill was only three thousand yuan higher than the Jade Bee Dew, but the effect was ten tis stronger. No matter how you looked at it, the deal was much better. It was likely that few people would choose to buy 'Jade Bee Dew' but would grit their teeth, pay an extra three thousand three hundred yuan, and opt for the Beauty Pill instead.
With this strategy, their Beauty Pill, now priced for thinner profits but higher sales, wouldn't lose too much money. Perhaps, it could even bring in more profit while minimizing the negative consequences that Jade Bee Dew might have caused.
Gu Xiyan understood all these things, and as she looked at Mu Jinyu, her gaze was full of apologetic tenderness and endless love.
She decided that when she went ho that evening, she would let loose and let Mu Jinyu enjoy himself.
...
Several days later.
The news of Jinyu Company releasing a new product had gone out but hadn't stirred up much attention.
Only a few people like Chen Xuyang, Xu Xiaojiao, and Gu Shiqian, who had always been paying attention to them, kept an eye on this.
When they learned of this news, The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel⸺fire
Chen Xuyang revealed a cold smirk and turned to Lin Xiaoru beside him, "Sweetheart, what do you think? How many people will show up at their launch tomorrow? Will any reporters be there?"
Chen Xuyang had completely given up on Gu Xiyan after realizing that day that she was a disgrace to herself, and he formally got together with Lin Xiaoru.
"Hehe, darling, don't worry," Lin Xiaoru said with a sweet smile to Chen Xuyang, "I've contacted people in the industry from Lin Pharmaceutical. Absolutely no reporters will attend their product launch tomorrow. No one will risk showing up to support them. Their event is destined to beco a joke!"
As Lin Xiaoru said this with a smile, there was a cold gleam in her eyes when she ntioned Gu Xiyan and the others.
"Heh," Chen Xuyang chuckled coldly, proposing, "That's so pitiful. Then let's go give them so support tomorrow!?"
Lin Xiaoru certainly didn't think Chen Xuyang was reminiscing over old tis, wanting to support Gu Xiyan. It was clear he wanted to go there to enjoy the debacle!
She then said with a smile, "Okay, we'll go and support them tomorrow."
