Chapter 36: Chapter 36

Wu Qiaoqiao didn’t answer immediately. She thought seriously for a moment, then with a furrowed brow said, "Mr. Zhang, this is a tough one! If it were any other cosmetic product, it wouldn’t be so bad. With our company’s existing sales channels and heavy investment to invite a popular actress to endorse it, we might be able to sell it!"

At this point, Wu Qiaoqiao reorganized her thoughts and continued, "But this product is quite special. How should I put it? It’s marketed as a beauty and skincare remedy that, after use, makes the skin softer and rejuvenates it like a second spring! But in reality, the effect is very ordinary. We price it at 998 Yuan for a set, yet the results are almost the same as those cheap cosmetics you find at roadside stalls."

"It’s precisely because of this that consumers have lost confidence in the Spring of Paris skincare product! From the first day it was shelved, this product has been very hard to sell, to the extent that it was forcibly removed from all major sales outlets in the end!" Wu Qiaoqiao stated objectively.

"Xiao Wen, go and get a set of the Spring of Paris product. I want to take a closer look," Zhang Xiaohao said with a frown.

"Yes, Mr. Zhang." Lin Xiaowen responded and quickly walked out with brisk steps.

"Director Wu, I’m giving you ten minutes. Contact our company’s sales outlets and tell them that Spring of Paris has been re-engineered and improved by our R&D department with remarkable effects. Long-term use can maintain the skin’s tenderness and fairness. Let’s see what they think? Are they willing to restock it for sale?" Zhang Xiaohao issued his instructions once more.

"Yes, Mr. Zhang. I’ll get right on it." Wu Qiaoqiao replied and left, moving her shapely, firm posterior as she went.

After they left, Zhang Xiaohao rubbed his head and said grumpily, "It seems like the job of PR manager isn’t an easy one! It involves so much worry and effort, and on top of that, I have to ensure the safety of my beautiful CEO wife. This time, Master Old Ghost really put me through the wringer."

Speak of the devil and he shall appear.

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohao’s custom-made phone rang in his pocket.

Zhang Xiaohao was startled and, after unlocking it with three passwords, a video call popped up on the screen—it was from his Master Old Ghost.

"You little brat, Master didn’t set you up this time, did I? That little girl, she’s a superb beauty, isn’t she? I bet you’re enjoying every moment from head to toe, grateful in your heart to me, this old guy! Heh heh, no need to thank me, if you really can’t hold it in, you could send over some genuine erotic films featuring Teacher Cang for your Master here to enjoy," the lecherous old man on the video, sporting a goatee and dressed in an aged blue Taoist robe, said sleazily.

"Dammit! Old Ghost, where are you right now? Please don’t tell me the pentagonal building behind you is America’s White House?" Zhang Xiaohao exclaimed in surprise.

"Heh heh! Your eye is still as sharp as ever, lad! You guessed right. This old guy got an itchy hand recently and blew into a Las Vegas casino, accidentally winning several billion US Dollars. Those guys thought they could bully an old man, and more than a hundred of them chased me with weapons. So there was nowhere to go, and I had to seek refuge in their White House for a few days—consider it a bit of tourism," Master Old Ghost boasted.

"Old Ghost, can we still have a pleasant conversation? Speaking of which, you’re in the U.S. right now; how do you have internet access? And how are you connecting to China?" Zhang Xiaohao asked seriously.

Given Master Old Ghost’s supernatural abilities, it wouldn’t be a stretch for him to press down all four major casinos of the world with one finger, let alone one in Las Vegas!

If Zhang Xiaohao believed his words, then that would be the real shocker.

"These American fools are simply too careless, thinking they can rest easy with an armed-to-the-teeth force guarding a broken base. Heh heh! A single display of hypnotism from this old guy here and I walked right in. Those idiots even saluted me respectfully and catered to my every need. And this satellite network is theirs, military satellite, just about good enough to send a video, though the internet speed is a bit slow!"

"Old Ghost, can we keep it low-key? Being too showy could leave you friendless," Zhang Xiaohao rolled his eyes.

"Want to see something exciting? Hehe, my satellite can show you where their president spends the night on which woman’s belly, clear as day. Want a peek?" the sleazy old man said with a mysterious smile.

"Really? Send it over, fast!" Zhang Xiaohao’s eyes lit up as he spoke.

Suddenly, at this moment, a crisp sound of footsteps came from outside.

Hearing the noise outside, the sleazy old man immediately said, "Someone’s coming your way, I gotta bounce. We’ll chat next time when I’m free!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Old Ghost on the other end of the call hung up the video.

"Damn! Couldn’t you have come later? Brother Hao’s presidential porn is gone now," Zhang Xiaohao complained irritably.

"Mr. Zhang, I’ve brought you the Springtime in Paris cosmetics you asked for." As she spoke, Lin Xiaowen placed a beautifully packaged set in front of Zhang Xiaohao. Follow current novels on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽

And truth be told, the packaging of this Springtime in Paris was quite exquisite. On the package was an extremely beautiful young woman, smiling with the enjoyment of a comforting warmth.

Opening the package, there were just three items inside!

A bottle of beauty skincare product and two small bottles of skin toner—that’s all. This little set remarkably sold for 998 yuan, and no one would buy it if the effects weren’t good.

Muttering under his breath in annoyance, Zhang Xiaohao opened the three skincare products in front of him.

Taking the bottle of beauty skincare product, he squeezed out a little and sniffed it carefully. After several minutes, he picked up the other two bottles of skin toner and gave them a sniff as well.

Putting down the skin toner, Zhang Xiaohao frowned and said, "The ingredients in the three products are almost the same, including pearl, tremella, deer antler, ginseng... and Snow Lotus! It’s just that the proportions of the ingredients differ. Although the ingredients are precious, the finished product turns out to be very ordinary, it is a piece of junk! If they sell it for a low price, the company would naturally lose money. Selling it high, and it becomes what it is now, directly eliminated by the market!"

"Ah! Mr. Zhang, how do you know this so clearly?" Lin Xiaowen’s eyes widened in disbelief as she spoke.

She wondered suspiciously, Mr. Zhang had just taken office today and hadn’t come into contact with the company’s core secrets yet. How did he know these confidential things?

Zhang Xiaohao just smiled. He was, after all, a Super Divine Doctor who had reached the third stage of medical expertise. It was nothing for him to smell and identify the contents of a small bottle of cosmetics, let alone anything more sophisticated.

Wu Qiaoqiao walked in with a cold face, holding a set of documents and angrily said, "Mr. Zhang, those guys are just too bullying! I tried to reason with them nicely, but they flat-out rejected it, some even lashed out with nasty words! It’s absolutely infuriating."
