Chapter 17: What’s in a Beauty Formula?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Give me back that serviette!” said Sun Yi agitatedly.
She tried to grab it back several times, but to no avail.
Su Na laughed coldly. “Why are you wound up, little wench? I wonder what disgusting secret this holds.”
With that, Su Na opened up the serviette.
She had thought it would be a hotel address that some higher-ups had given to Sun Yi, but it turned out to be something like a medicinal formula.
There were even the words, “Beginner-level Beauty Pill.”
Just like that, she laughed until her stomach hurt.
“Sun Yi, oh, Sun Yi. Is everything alright with your brain? Do you really believe in things like Beauty Pills? Or have you been watching too many TV dramas?
“This handwriting looks like a man’s. Did some fraud give this to you in exchange for a night?
“I thought you’d be worth a few hundred at most, but now it looks like you’re not even worth a dollar!
“Haha!”
Su Na’s laugh was growing grotesque.
Sun Yi clenched her fist tightly and stared at Su Na, hard. “Give that back. This is your last warning.”
Su Na shook her head. This item did not mean much to her anyway, so she tossed it on the ground and even stomped on it a little.
The serviette was not very thick to begin with, so it ripped slightly.
Sun Yi hastily picked it up and carefully wiped off the footprints on it. She was about to say something when the door to the conference room was thrown open.
Xia Ruoxue was here.
Her gaze swept across everyone in the room, and she crossed her arms as she said, “I’m sure everyone knows why I called you here for a meeting.
“The Magnificent Group’s sales have been plummeting, and once the other corporations’ new products hit the market, they’ll deal a serious blow to the Magnificent Group’s prospects!
“I don’t understand. After all this time, why haven’t we come up with anything useful enough to be popular?”
Xia Ruoxue’s tone was somewhat harsh.
No one in the conference room dared to say anything then.
A few seconds later, Xia Ruoxue turned to the members of the R&D department. Putting her hands on the conference table, she enunciated clearly, “R&D, didn’t I tell you to scour the world for formulas? Did you forget that?”
Some of the elderly members of the R&D department shook their heads profusely. “No, no, no… President, these formulas for familial remedies are very rare and precious, so they aren’t that easy to obtain.
“We’ve had people collecting them this whole time, but although we broke the bank for a few, they don’t work that well.”
Xia Ruoxue slammed the table. “The competition amongst companies is so fierce, so did you really think you could get away with such a lousy excuse?
“From now on, every member of the R&D department must work overtime. No matter what, and regardless of the cost, you have to find a formula that suits the Magnificent Group! Otherwise, you’ll have to come up with one yourselves!”
Just then, an idea flashed through Su Na’s mind. She knew how she could destroy Sun Yi!
She could make Sun Yi the laughing stock of the company!
The next second, Su Na stood up. “President, this is easily manageable. After all, I just heard Director Sun say she has a priceless beauty formula in her hands! She even guaranteed that it would be able to save the group from the brink of destruction.”
