Chapter 531 Cosmetics Sell Like Hotcakes
"What happened to Second Uncle?" Wang Chunyu's heart trembled.
Old Master Gu, with a somber face, revealed the outcome.
The moment these words were spoken, it was like a death sentence. Wang Chunyu felt despair.
Without Old Master Gu, how could he remain in the Gu family?
Afterwards, Old Master Gu dismissed Wang Chunyu.
"How could Dad end up like this?" Gu Junjie frowned, surprised that his father hadn't managed to rescue Old Master Gu.
"The Su family must have used their connections," Old Master Gu said, his voice low.
"I didn't expect the Su family to have such strong connections. Can our Gu family even contend with the Su family?" Gu Junjie showed a hint of apprehension.
"What's there to fear? Once our Gu family's new medicine is on the market, the Su family will be completely finished!" Old Master Gu sneered.
Currently, the Su family's new medicine, now in his possession, would become the Gu family's greatest trump card.
Although he could have been overjoyed, Old Master Gu's arrest cast a shadow over all the happiness...
Su Family.
"Mr. Chen, I have good news for you. The product launch event was a complete success!"
"The advertisement for the first award-winning product is already airing on CCTV and major satellite TVs, receiving positive reviews!"
"Our cosmetic products have also hit major department stores, and sales are explosive! Among similar categories, we have already climbed to the number one spot in sales!"
Looking at the message from Huo Yuhao on his phone, Chen Xuan smiled.
Due to her busy work schedule, Su Yunxi stayed at Su's Pharmaceutical, while Chen Xuan returned alone to the Su family villa.
After a casual meal, Chen Xuan sat on the sofa. Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down, he received good news from Huo Yuhao.
Soon, Huo Yuhao sent over several videos. Chen Xuan opened them and was astonished. These videos all showed citizens scrambling for cosmetics at counters, creating a lively scene. The cosmetics on the shelves were quickly snatched up. Huo's cosmetic products were extremely popular.
Watching the videos, Chen Xuan couldn't help but smile, a genuine smile spreading across his face.
"Come quickly and help me carry things!"
Just then, an urgent voice rang out.
Before the words had even finished, Jiang Biyun walked in, carrying bags and packages, sweat dripping from her forehead.
Following behind Jiang Biyun were several elegantly dressed women, also carrying large bags and packages.
As Chen Xuan was about to walk over, he suddenly froze. His gaze fixed on the items in Jiang Biyun's hands. Weren't those Huo's Cosmetics?
Seeing Chen Xuan standing there in a daze, the women behind him looked displeased, purses pursed.
"Little Yun, is this your live-in son-in-law? He doesn't seem very sensible."
"Tsk tsk, the Su family is so wealthy, they even chose a useless son-in-law."
"I think my son-in-law is better. He's observant and runs a company!"
The friends' remarks made Jiang Biyun's face flush. She glared at Chen Xuan, "Aren't you going to hurry? Do you want me to collapse from exhaustion?"
Chen Xuan finally reacted and quickly went over to take the bags and packages from Jiang Biyun.
Jiang Biyun immediately breathed a sigh of relief, waving her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, still panting heavily, looking thoroughly exhausted.
Servants also hurried over, taking the cosmetics from the other ladies.
Chen Xuan glanced around. Not only were the items in Jiang Biyun's hands Huo's Cosmetics, but the other wealthy ladies were also carrying Huo's Cosmetics. He couldn't help but frown, a mix of confusion filling his mind.
"Put them all on the table."
As per Jiang Biyun's instructions, all the cosmetics were placed on the table, box after box, forming a small mountain. One might have thought they had raided a cosmetics counter.
After Chen Xuan had arranged everything, Jiang Biyun and her friends were already seated on the sofa, and servants were serving them drinks.
Although they were tired, their eyes scanned the cosmetics, and they all wore smiles of victory.
"Auntie, why did you buy so many cosmetics?" Chen Xuan couldn't help but ask, glancing at the mountain of cosmetics.
Hearing this, Jiang Biyun's expression darkened. She glared at Chen Xuan, signaling him to be quiet.
Chen Xuan frowned, somewhat perplexed.
Suddenly, a woman with curly hair, around forty but extremely well-preserved, covered her red lips and giggled, "Su family's son-in-law, you might have misunderstood. Five of these boxes are mine."
The woman speaking was named Song Qin.
"Auntie, you bought so many?" Chen Xuan blurted out.
"These aren't many at all. Wang Cuicui bought even more, she grabbed twelve boxes of cosmetics!" Song Qin said with a smile.
The tall, slender woman sitting next to Jiang Biyun, though nearing fifty, was very well-preserved. Not only was her figure slender, but her skin was also fair and smooth, showing no signs of approaching fifty.
Wang Cuicui said modestly, but she was beaming with joy, "I only grabbed twelve boxes. How many did you all get?"
"Five boxes!"
"Eight boxes!"
The lowest number of boxes grabbed was five.
Chen Xuan's eyes widened. They all bought so many?
"Auntie, how many did you buy?" Chen Xuan suddenly asked Jiang Biyun.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Biyun's expression became even more unpleasant.
Wang Cuicui sneered and said, "Your future mother-in-law only managed to grab two boxes."
As soon as she said this, many people covered their mouths and giggled.
When they played the stock market, Jiang Biyun had been the center of attention in their circle of friends. Now, buying cosmetics and only managing to grab two items, they had a chance to steal some of the spotlight.
Chen Xuan understood. Jiang Biyun remained silent because she had grabbed too few cosmetics, and it would be embarrassing to reveal it.
Wang Cuicui, intending to put Jiang Biyun down, glanced at Chen Xuan and her eyes lit up. "Little Yun, I was able to grab twelve boxes of cosmetics thanks to my good son-in-law. My son-in-law mobilized his company's employees to help me queue and drive. Speaking of which, having a good son-in-law is important. Look at the son-in-law you found?"
Hearing this, Jiang Biyun's face flushed, and she felt embarrassed.
"Exactly, my son-in-law also came to help."
The people around chimed in, turning it into a competition of whose son-in-law was capable and could help them grab cosmetics, while Jiang Biyun was stuck with a useless live-in son-in-law with no abilities.
As a result, Chen Xuan became the one at the bottom, the least capable.
Many people looked at Chen Xuan and chuckled, while Jiang Biyun's face grew even more unpleasant.
Chen Xuan scoffed.
He thought to himself, "You're mocking me with the cosmetics I sold, you scoundrels!"
Jiang Biyun felt mortified and, with a gloomy expression, looked at Chen Xuan. "Chen Xuan, you can go down now. We're going to chat."
Chen Xuan, as if not realizing the implied meaning in Jiang Biyun's words, asked calmly, "Auntie, are these cosmetics that good? Will you be able to use them if you have more?"
Hearing this, Jiang Biyun was furious. She only had two boxes, so how could that be considered "more"?
She wanted to lash out, but doing so in front of so many people would only embarrass herself. She took a deep breath and suppressed her anger.
Wang Cuicui smiled smugly and praised, "These cosmetics are amazing. Don't you see the wrinkles on my face have lessened, my skin has more radiance, and even my pores are much smaller? How could these cosmetics not be good?"
Hearing this, Chen Xuan nodded.
Even these discerning and sophisticated wealthy ladies found the cosmetics good, which meant they were bound to sell like hotcakes!
"It's just a pity that your future mother-in-law only has two boxes. Who knows when the next batch will be released."
Wang Cuicui boasted, "Fortunately, I have a good son-in-law who helped me grab twelve boxes, enough for me to use for quite some time."
The others covered their mouths and giggled.
"Alright, Chen Xuan, you're dismissed. Go downstairs now."
Jiang Biyun's voice grew colder.
Chen Xuan, however, smiled slightly and said with conviction, "Auntie, I think twelve boxes are too few. I'll send you twenty boxes later!"
