"Of course."
Mu Jinyu turned her head to look at Du Xiangcheng and said with a smile.
"Right, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten to apply 'Jade Bee Dew' today. Xiaoya, hold onto it for now."
Hearing their conversation, Du Xiangcheng's wife suddenly remembered that she hadn't applied "Jade Bee Dew" today. She hurriedly handed over Du Xiaoya to Du Xiangcheng and then went to fetch the "Jade Bee Dew".
Mu Jinyu's eyebrows twitched when she heard this and she quickly asked, "Lady, have you been using 'Jade Bee Dew' consistently recently?"
Du Xiangcheng's wife nodded and said, "Yes, this 'Jade Bee Dew' is very effective. I have been using it lately and feel like my skin has improved, and I look several years younger."
Mu Jinyu's expression darkened slightly. After thinking for a moment, she still decided to speak up and advise,
"Then I would advise you not to use it anymore.
It's not that I want to badmouth their 'Jade Bee Dew', but this cosmetic product was originally the new flagship product of my company. However, it was betrayed by the former CEO and thus released ahead of schedule for sales.
Moreover, they have used some substandard medicinal ingredients to cut costs and compete with me on price. There are significant hidden dangers that just haven't surfaced yet!"
"What?!"
Du Xiangcheng's wife's hand, which was just reaching for the "Jade Bee Dew", trembled with fright, her complexion turning pale.
She was delicate and gentle-looking, dignified and beautiful, but she was, after all, getting older. Despite good maintenance, crow's feet were inevitably appearing at the corners of her eyes.
In the past days, she had tried "Jade Bee Dew" and found it to be very effective. The crow's feet had lessened substantially, becoming less noticeable, and her facial skin had become smoother and fairer.
As a result, she grew more dependent on it, applying it almost three times a day.
Now hearing that the "Jade Bee Dew" contained inferior medicinal ingredients and posed huge risks, she was terrified, fearing for the beauty of her face!
Upon hearing this, Du Xiangcheng's expression also grew solemn, his brows furrowed as he asked, "Mr. Mu, are you serious about this?"
"Certainly, you can ask Elder Master Xu. He's very clear about this matter," Mu Jinyu spread her hands and said.
"Uncle Xu?" Du Xiangcheng turned his head to look at Xu Tianzheng.
Xu Tianzheng appeared somewhat embarrassed, cleared his throat, and said,
"Indeed, Doctor Mu isn't spreading lies or defaming anyone. The 'Jade Bee Dew' that's become extremely popular on the market was originally purchased by my unworthy granddaughter for a high price.
Regrettably, to make amends to Doctor Mu, I sold the company to him and transferred the CEO position to another granddaughter of mine to assist Doctor Mu in managing the company.
I already had other plans and arrangements, but I would never have imagined that my granddaughter would choose such a way of revenge..."
After saying this, he felt he might have strayed from the subject and sighed again,
"I have seen the 'Jade Bee Dew' inspection report, and to be honest, I can't tell whether there's a problem with it. However, Doctor Mu is not likely to slander others.
And the 'Beauty Pill' he presented, I know the effect of that medicine—it's at least ten times more potent than 'Jade Bee Dew'. There's no need for him to discredit another's product."
The faces of Du Xiangcheng and his wife suddenly looked very troubled.
They knew that given Xu Tianzheng's status, although he desired to establish a good relationship with Mu Jinyu, he would not stoop to lying on Mu's behalf.
He was not about to give up his dignity.
Du Xiangcheng turned to his wife and said, "Better not to use it for now."
After saying this, he turned to his secretary, handed his wife's "Jade Bee Dew" to him, and instructed, "Take this for a comprehensive test and also investigate the sourcing channels of Face of Jade Group."
"Yes," the secretary accepted the order and left.
Seeing this, Xu Tianzheng felt a sense of pity for the Gu family members.
They hadn't recouped much money before being targeted by the Governor of Jiangnan. Alas, what a pity.
It remained unclear how Doctor Mu intended to comfort his little girlfriend Gu Xiyan when the time came.
Mu Jinyu truly only intended to give Lady Du Xiangcheng a warning out of good will, not to scheme against the Gu Family; he genuinely did not want to see her end up disfigured after using Jade Bee Dew.
Such a situation would be far worse than discovering the issue with Jade Bee Dew now.
After all, what was her status?
Lady Provincial Shepherdess.
If she used a product from the Gu Family and ended up disfiguring her face, it would truly cause a major earthquake!
One could say that Mu Jinyu was not trapping the Gu Family but rather saving them!
Seeing the secretary leave, Mu Jinyu thought for a moment and said, "Madam, would you like to try my Beauty Pill? It has no side effects, and it takes effect immediately, making you look ten years younger."
"No need, no need, I've become somewhat allergic to beauty products now,"
Lady Du Xiangcheng quickly waved her hands and declined.
Having just learned that Jade Bee Dew, which she regularly used, might have significant hidden risks, despite the fact that it wasn't confirmed yet, she dared not continue using it.
And the effects of the Beauty Pill that Mu Jinyu mentioned seemed too exaggerated—ten years younger, immediate results...
It made her feel it was very unreliable.
Considering what he had just said about Jade Bee Dew's problems, it sounded as if he was intentionally slandering another's product in order to market his own.
This made her feel uncomfortable, so she did not want to try it.
Du Xiangcheng felt the same way, but he did not say anything.
"Alright then,"
Mu Jinyu shrugged his shoulders without any particular concern.
While several people were talking, the staff on the stage were making final adjustments and then left.
At this point, the seats below were mostly filled because Mei Yinxue, Jiang Wangchuan, Xu Tianzheng, and Du Xiangcheng each brought quite a few media reporters with them.
Among these reporters, some were from River City, some from Jiangnan Province, and others from different places. There were also a bunch of bloggers and creators from online media platforms.
"Hello, everyone, I've been invited to attend a very strange new product launch today..."
A cute little girl held up her cellphone, aimed the camera at herself, and began to chatter.
It seemed as if she was doing a live broadcast.
After introducing herself briefly, she turned her phone around: "This is what the venue looks like; I'll give everyone a look."
Instantly, a flurry of comments appeared on the phone screen:
[What kind of launch is this with so few people? This really lacks presence.]
[Weird, why would Mengmeng attend such a sparse event?]
[Wow, there are so many pretty girls at this launch, guys, charge!]
[Charge, charge…]
Mengmeng glanced at the comments with some helplessness and then explained, "This launch is quite prestigious; the decision-makers from the Four Great Families of River City are all here to support it. I suspect people without enough qualifications can't even get in."
At this time.
It was noon.
Xu Qingya and Wen Rou exchanged a look and then nudged Gu Xiyan to go up on stage to give her speech.
After all, Gu Xiyan had been a CEO for many years; this kind of event wouldn't frighten her.
She took a deep breath and walked onto the stage.
