Chapter 129: Chapter 132 High-profile Listing
Chapter One Hundred Thirty-two
"A sudden gust of wind?" The black-robed Taoist revealed a trace of a cold sneer.
Although his junior fellow disciple was inept and had not yet entered the path to become a true Spirit Practitioner,
he still had undergone cultivation. His physical foundation was much stronger than that of an ordinary person. How could he have possibly died from a sudden gust of wind?
His gaze turned cold as he looked around the Taoist temple.
Narrowing his eyes, he stopped at one spot.
"These are traces of a Fireball Talisman. My junior fellow disciple fought someone with Daoist magic."
Ordinary police officers could not discern such traces.
But to them, the signs of a talisman were too obvious, and even if they were erased on the surface, one could still sense them.
Now he was even more certain that his junior fellow disciple had not died from a 'sudden gust of wind.'
"To harm someone from Black Scale Gate is to seek death," the black-robed Taoist revealed a hint of ferocity, and his demeanor of a refined Taoist priest immediately crumbled.
...
The next day.
Ye Feng and a group of officials left Longyang Village.
After seeing them off and with only two days left before school started, Wang Yan had to return to Xinyuan County for school and could only say her reluctant farewells to the people at the farm.
Especially Long Xiaoling, who was particularly attached, her eyes reddened.
The two of them had become the best of friends due to their similar ages.
Long Xiaoshan drove Wang Yan back.
In addition, Liu Yufeng had called to say that Dragon Spirit Beautifying Water and the Acne-Removing Facial Mask were about to hit the market and wanted Long Xiaoshan to come over
Xinyuan County, the Wang Family villa.
Long Xiaoshan and Wang Yan got out of the car and rang the doorbell.
After a while, a housekeeper came to open the door.
Long Xiaoshan and Wang Yan walked in, and from inside the villa stepped a beautiful woman who, seeing Long Xiaoshan and Wang Yan, exclaimed with surprise, "Yan'er, Xiaoshan."
This beautiful woman was Liu Yufeng.
Compared to when she was last seen, Liu Yufeng had become even more beautiful, with her skin rosy and tender. If one didn't look closely, one might think she was Wang Yan's older sister.
"Aunt Liu, you've become more beautiful," Long Xiaoshan said with a smile, giving a compliment.
"Xiaoshan, you have such a sweet mouth, but this is also thanks to you. I've been using the Dragon Spirit Beautifying Water," Liu Yufeng said.
The Dragon Spirit Beautifying Water had been successfully trial-produced but had not yet gone to market.
However, Liu Yufeng could, of course, obtain and use it herself.
After trying it for a period.
Liu Yufeng became more and more confident in the product. She was certain that it would create a sensation upon launch, and might even cause an upheaval in the beauty industry. With preparations made over these past days, the Beautifying Water and Acne-Removing Facial Mask were ready to go on sale.
"Mom," Wang Yan stepped forward, affectionately holding Liu Yufeng's hand.
Liu Yufeng felt Wang Yan's return to her usual lively and cheerful self, seemingly over the impact of Wang Feng's departure, and couldn't help but be even more thankful towards Long Xiaoshan.
Without Long Xiaoshan, who knew what state the Wang Family would be in now.
"Come, come, have a seat," Liu Yufeng invited Long Xiaoshan inside.
Seeing Long Xiaoshan carrying big and small bags, she playfully chided, "You're still so formal with Aunt Liu on a visit? Just treat this place like your own home."
"It's just some things grown at home; I thought you might like to try them," Long Xiaoshan said with a smile. He had brought over fruits and vegetables, as well as fish and shrimp, grown at his farm.
"Mom, the things from Brother Xiaoshan's farm are not simple at all. Haven't you heard about the miraculous shrimp and health-preserving vegetables from Niu Y County? They're all Brother Xiaoshan's handiwork," Wang Yan said proudly.
Liu Yufeng's eyes lit up as she said, "Really? I've long heard of its great reputation. I heard it's incredibly popular, making many wealthy people from Xinyuan County go all the way to Niu Y County just to eat there. I didn't expect it was you, Xiaoshan, who made it. Now I really must try it for myself."
Long Xiaoshan helped Liu Yufeng carry things to the kitchen.
Liu Yufeng didn't ask the maid to lift a finger, instead, she personally took the fruits, vegetables, fish, and shrimp that Long Xiaoshan brought and started cooking.
After a while, the fragrance of the dishes wafted through the air.
Liu Yufeng moved the dishes to the table, calling Long Xiaoshan and Wang Yan to sit down, and she also picked up her chopsticks to taste the food.
Throughout the meal, Liu Yufeng kept exclaiming how delightful it was.
Normally, she would only eat a small bowl of rice, but this time she solidly downed two large bowls, in addition to consuming a lot of the dishes.
After eating, her stomach was absolutely bulging.
What was amazing was that, after eating, she felt a surge of vitality, and the exhaustion from staying up late for the launch of the beautifying products had vanished.
"Xiaoshan, the produce you grow is fantastic, truly delicious. No wonder those people all flock to Niu Y County to eat," Liu Yufeng praised.
"If Aunt Liu likes it, I can have someone send some over every week."
"That's wonderful, thank you in advance. After eating your vegetables, I feel like I can't eat any others," said Liu Yufeng unabashedly, because the produce had left such a good impression on her.
She thought to herself that this young man really knew how to do everything.
He knew Daoist magic, he could heal, he could make pharmaceuticals, and he could even farm and raise fish. The key was that what he produced was extraordinary. She couldn't help but wonder what he couldn't do, and she couldn't understand how someone just a few years older than her daughter could achieve all this.
Despite her age, she couldn't help feeling a sense of admiration welling up inside her.
After they finished eating, Liu Yufeng took Long Xiaoshan to the study to discuss the launch plan of the Dragon Spirit Beautifying products.
Although she already had several plans in hand, she was still hesitating about which one was better.
She originally didn't think that Long Xiaoshan had better business sense than her, but now she found herself involuntarily wanting to hear Long Xiaoshan's opinion.
They discussed in the study for an entire afternoon.
Finally, the launch plan was settled.
On August 28th, Hechuan City and its surrounding counties and cities were plastered with overwhelming advertising for the high-profile launch of a new skincare brand under Longling Pharmaceuticals.
Huge street advertisements, light boxes, bus stops, television commercials, newspaper articles, and online presence—nearly every channel was covered with advertisements for Dragon Spirit Beautifying Water and Dragon Scale Acne-removing Facial Mask.
These advertisements boasted the miraculous effects of the Dragon Spirit Beautifying Water and Dragon Scale Acne-removing Facial Mask.
Results in one day, remove spots within a month.
One course of treatment, ten facial masks could eliminate any acne and past acne scars.
These were the effects proclaimed in the advertisements.
Initially, everyone scoffed at them.
Because this was exactly the kind of exaggerated marketing rhetoric used to deceive uninformed women, the hyperbolic claims in the advertising were obvious.
However, Longling Pharmaceuticals actually offered a tenfold refund guarantee for any ineffective products.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
At the same time, the well-known in the beauty industry, the chairman of Beacon Fire Company, Liu Yufeng, also stepped up to vouch for the efficacy of Longling Pharmaceuticals, guaranteeing its effectiveness.
Given that it's an era of internet connectivity, the high-profile and bold advertising of Longling Pharmaceuticals, along with such assurances, caused a huge sensation in Hechuan City, with many in the beauty industry criticizing it, saying it was impossible for such a product to exist.
Many in the business community thought Liu Yufeng had gone mad; exaggeration in advertising is one thing, but to stretch it this far and even offer a tenfold refund guarantee, if found to be deceiving consumers, not only would Longling Pharmaceuticals be finished, but Beacon Fire Company would be doomed as well.
Although no one had a positive outlook for the products of Longling Pharmaceuticals,
Dragon Spirit Beautifying Water and Dragon Scale Acne-removing Facial Mask were released on schedule.
The pricing was astounding too.
Dragon Spirit Beautifying Water at three thousand a box, with a full course requiring ten boxes.
Dragon Scale Acne-removing Facial Mask at one thousand one per piece.
With such pricing, it could be said to be unprecedented in the beauty industry, another bombshell dropped!
