I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

After Yang Manni asked someone to buy her a bottle of Viro Beauty Cream, she started using it that very day.

When she woke up the next day, she was surprised to find that the red spots on her face had faded considerably.

After three days of use, the redness faded significantly, and my skin became more hydrated and smooth.

Yang Manni estimates that, based on this situation, the red spots on her face will completely disappear in a week at most!

She didn't know how the triple effect of the Alluring Beauty Cream was calculated, but she knew that none of the beauty products she had ever used could compare to Viro.

They can't even be compared; they're not even in the same league!

Shocked, I was overwhelmed with deep regret.

Yang Manni knew what she had missed, but it was all too late to undo it.

However, she gradually came to understand that she had been arrogant and domineering without realizing it, and if she hadn't fallen into a trough, she might never have seen things clearly.

She now only hopes that there will be another chance.

"That's not bad!"

"Xiaoxiao, have you ever considered entering the entertainment industry and utterly crushing Yang Manni?"

Qin Ge teased Chen Xiaoxiao.

It wasn't all a joke; if Chen Xiaoxiao had any ideas, he would definitely give them his full support.

"Stop kidding me, what would I do in the entertainment industry?" Chen Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. "I can't act, I can't sing, and my dancing looks like I've been burned by a cigarette butt!"

"Why would you enter the entertainment industry? Just to be criticized?"

"I just jumped on the bandwagon of Viro's popularity. Everyone's making a fuss about it and it'll be over soon. I know my own limitations perfectly well, why would I take it seriously?"

Gu Caiwei smiled and continued, "Our clients now have a very high opinion of Weirou. At first, some people complained that the price was too high, but now we hardly hear such comments anymore."

"In addition, many people are asking when we will release a breast enhancement product; the demand is growing."

At this point, she glanced at Chen Xiaoxiao's impressive figure with a hint of envy.

In fact, Gu Caiwei doesn't need to envy Chen Xiaoxiao; she's not much younger than Chen Xiaoxiao herself.

Breast augmentation?

Qin Ge and Chen Xiaoxiao were both stunned.

Chen Xiaoxiao didn't react at first, but when she saw Gu Caiwei's gaze, she glanced down and a blush rose on her pretty face.

She knew that the trouble was probably caused by her being the spokesperson.

Gu Caiwei was also a little embarrassed, and surprised that she would say such a thing in front of Qin Ge, as if she had temporarily forgotten that Qin Ge was a man.

She sighed inwardly, "One is influenced by one's surroundings!"

"Let's talk about breast augmentation later!"

"Focus on making sure Vivian is doing well first. Taking too big a step might backfire."

"Being too greedy easily attracts jealousy and can cause a lot of trouble!"

Qin Ge actually has a way of creating a breast enhancement formula, but he's not interested in it for the time being.

Thinking of the formula, he changed the subject, "How's the situation at Meng's Pharmaceuticals?"

"This is terrible!" Gu Caiwei's expression turned serious. "In my estimation, if this continues, they won't last long before they go bankrupt."

Qin Ge was slightly surprised, "Were those formulas such a big blow to them?"

Gu Caiwei shook her head. "It's not just a problem with the formula. Meng's Pharmaceuticals has suffered a series of setbacks in the past few days."

"It seems like there's an unseen force controlling all of this!"

Qin Ge was even more surprised. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then narrowed his eyes slightly. "Looks like someone's playing the 'mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind' trick!"

"But it doesn't matter, they don't seem to see us as mantises, we're not their target."

"Their prey is Meng's Pharmaceuticals, while our prey is Wei Rou. Let's each eat our own!"

"But you should also keep a close eye out. If any hand reaches out to us, tell me immediately and I'll chop it off!"

......

"Why aren't you asleep yet? Staying up late is bad for you and the child."

"Old Master Yan is still so protective of his reputation, insisting on waiting until late at night to let you over to meet him."

At 11 p.m., Shen Tingzhi returned to the bedroom, where his wife, Su Wan, was sitting on the headboard, flipping through a parenting book.

"I'm going to wash up. You go to sleep first, I'll talk to you tomorrow."

Shen Tingzhi smiled and turned to get his pajamas.

"It's not a big deal to waste a little time. I'll listen to you until you're done talking before I go to sleep."

"Then I'll finish talking to you first before I wash!"

Shen Tingzhi put down his pajamas, took a chair, and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Professor Yan treated us to fish head tonight!"

"Good heavens, you wouldn't believe it, that fish head was standing on the table, it was over half a meter tall!"

Shen Tingzhi spoke while gesturing.

"Why is the fish head so big?" Su Wan feigned surprise, "What did Elder Yan say?"

"He told us about one of his experiences, you could call it a story!" Shen Tingzhi recounted in detail, "He said he had a very pleasant chat with a fish farmer not long ago."

"That fish farmer has a fishpond where he releases grass carp, silver carp, and black carp fry every year. Different fish species have different diets; for example, grass carp eat grass, while silver carp are filter feeders, and they are distributed in different water layers."

"The coexistence of various fish species not only avoids conflict but also complements each other, resulting in bountiful harvests every year."

"Later, for some reason, some catfish, mandarin fish, and other predatory fish swarmed into that person's fishpond."

"The fishponds have reduced production, but our income has increased because catfish and mandarin fish are priced relatively high, making it a good source of income."

"Moreover, these fish can only prey on smaller miscellaneous fish or fry that are underdeveloped and cannot keep up with their size, so the overall impact is not significant."

Su Wan smiled gently, "What a coincidence! Old Master Yan hasn't changed at all. He's trying to subtly warn you, isn't he?"

Shen Tingzhi chuckled and continued, "Later, alligator gars got mixed into the fishpond. Those guys eat fish of all sizes!"

"But alligator gars aren't worth much if they're not ornamental, so fish farmers' incomes dropped, and they couldn't take it anymore. This year, they cleared out the ponds and caught alligator gars!"

"That fish head on the table tonight is actually the head of an alligator gar!"

"You're right, Old Yan hasn't changed. He specially came up with this story to give us a warning, but it's quite fitting!"

Su Wan smiled again, "So what do you say?"

"What else can I say?" Shen Tingzhi shrugged helplessly. "They all stood up like their chairs were burning their bottoms, humbly accepting their lesson!"

"Professor Yan's philosophy remains the same as it was many years ago."

"He knows about Meng's Pharmaceuticals. Catfish and mandarin fish are tolerable, but if anyone wants to be an alligator gar, eating all kinds of fish, they might end up on the dinner table themselves."

"However, the die is cast and cannot be cast. The Meng family pharmaceutical business is out of control. Elder Yan has tacitly approved of it, but he just wants to remind us to know when to stop."

"Old Yan is really interesting!" Su Wan pondered for a moment, "But in my opinion, the key isn't the type of fish, nor whether it feeds on all sizes, but whether the income from fish farming has decreased!"

"Old Yan's concerns are valid. If anyone hinders the development of Donghai, the higher-ups will take action."

Shen Tingzhi tapped his wife's nose. "My Wan'er is truly intelligent and quick-witted!"

"Elder Yan also revealed to us that I need to meet with Qin Ge tomorrow!"
