"Really? That's wonderful! I knew you'd agree, Li Yang."
Fang Xiaoqing's face lit up with excitement as she grabbed Li Yang's arm. "Li Yang, don't worry. If you invest in the technology, we can share the profits with you when we make money. You won't be paying for nothing."
"We're family, why talk about two separate households? If you make money, it's like I'm making money. Go prepare some paper and a pen. Zhou Yi, come give me a massage. Take good care of me, and I'll share a medicinal formula with you."
Li Yang said with a chuckle, walked directly to the living room, and sat on the sofa, crossing his legs.
Zhou Yi's eyes darted around as she gently approached Li Yang, placing her slender hands on his thighs and massaging him. "Li Yang Ge, is the pressure right?"
"Mmm, it's okay. But it seems like you alone aren't quite enough. Xinyu, Yao'er, and Shui Jie, why don't you all come over and massage me together?" Li Yang turned to ask the other wives.
"Of course! You enjoy yourself so much, how could we not support you?"
Sister Shui wore a sly smile and exchanged a glance with Tang Xinyu and Tang Xiaoyao. They immediately understood Shui Xiang's intention.
Before long, they all gathered around Li Yang. Some massaged his shoulders, others his legs – he was truly enjoying himself.
However, after only a few minutes, Li Yang suddenly felt their strength increase. He opened his eyes and saw them all pinching him as if their lives depended on it.
"Ah!"
The moment they pinched him in a sensitive spot, Li Yang let out a pained scream.
Before he could resist, the women pinned him down on the sofa. Shui Xiang, leading the charge, pressed down on his head and said, "See if you dare order us around again! Do you really think we're easy to bully just because we're your girlfriends?"
"Shui Jie, you've changed! How did you become so fierce? Xinyu, Xiaoyao, you two are the best, hurry up and let go! And Zhou Yi, don't you want the medicinal formula anymore?"
"Heh heh, sorry. Shui Jie is our second sister; she's the oldest, so we listen to her. Plus, she told us that you're a very bad guy and tend to bully people, so she told us to team up and suppress you."
"Unless you promise not to bully us anymore, you're not getting up today," Tang Xinyu said, pressing on Li Yang's waist.
"Xinyu, you've turned bad too! I knew I shouldn't have let you all live together. I'm warning you, let me go immediately, or I'll fight back. If I fight back, you'll all regret it," Li Yang said furiously.
"Then try us. We don't believe that so many of us can't hold you down," Sister Shui continued.
Boom!
The next second, Li Yang suddenly unleashed a powerful aura. Shui Xiang and Tang Xinyu felt their arms go numb. In an instant, Li Yang flipped over and sent them flying aside.
Li Yang first grabbed Zhou Yi, who was closest to him, pinned her to the sofa, and patted her waist. "Little Zhou Yi, you dare to gang up with them against me now? Do you dare?"
"Li Yang Ge, spare me! I don't dare anymore. Please let me go," Zhou Yi said, turning her head back to Li Yang with a wronged expression, begging for mercy.
Just then, Fang Xiaoqing came downstairs with paper and a pen. Seeing the scene unfolding below, she hurried down to ask, "Li Yang, what's going on?"
"Xiaoqing, you've come at the perfect time. This little girl is misbehaving and was about to gang up with Sister Shui and the others to bully me. Come help me hold her down, and I'll deal with the others."
Li Yang's instructions left Fang Xiaoqing stunned.
Fang Xiaoqing walked over, smiling. "Alright, Li Yang, stop fooling around. Hurry up and write the medicinal formula for me. If you write it, I'll reward you however you want."
"Reward me however I want? Then I want to 'play' with this little girl Zhou Yi tonight. You'll have to help me then," Li Yang said, his eyes glinting.
"No problem. Write the formula, and I'll definitely agree."
Fang Xiaoqing readily agreed.
Following that, Li Yang took the paper and pen and quickly wrote down a medicinal formula. He handed it over to Fang Xiaoqing. "This is the formula you wanted. Once your company is established, produce according to this recipe. I guarantee the product's efficacy will be very strong."
"What are its effects? Can this formula whiten and refine the skin?" Fang Xiaoqing asked curiously.
"Whiten? This formula is far more than that. It can eliminate any acne scars, blemishes, or dark spots on your skin, leaving it supple and smooth."
"Of course, if you add a small amount of pearl powder to this formula, the effect will be even more astonishing," Li Yang explained seriously.
"Wow, is it really that miraculous? If I had known you were this amazing, I wouldn't have spent hundreds of yuan on a single anti-acne and blemish mask that didn't even work," Fang Xiaoqing said excitedly.
"You said how much? A few hundred yuan for one mask?"
Li Yang was taken aback and looked at her in disbelief.
Was this business really that profitable?
How much medicinal ingredient was in a single mask? It was mostly water and emulsions. The cost was less than a dime, and with packaging and shipping, at most a dollar or two, yet they could sell it for hundreds?
As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Xinyu and Sister Shui nodded in agreement. The masks they used were indeed more expensive.
This made Li Yang somewhat astonished!
Although he wasn't short of money now, enough to support Sister Shui and Xinyu, from a product perspective, a mask selling for thousands with only a few yuan in cost was more profitable than dealing in antiques.
This presented Li Yang with a huge business opportunity!
His eyes lit up, and he looked at Fang Xiaoqing. "How about this? I'll write you several more formulas, each with different effects for whitening and blemish removal, and even anti-aging. Can you sell them for a higher price?"
"No way! Anti-aging? Li Yang, are you kidding me?"
Fang Xiaoqing's eyes widened as she shook her head. "I've never seen such powerful cosmetic masks on the market. If you can truly write such formulas, forget thousands of yuan per piece, even tens of thousands would have plenty of people scrambling to buy them."
"Is that so? If that's the case, then I'm ready to get your company listed. Wouldn't that earn even more!"
Li Yang's confidence surged, and he quickly wrote five or six more formulas on the paper.
