The next day was sunny.

The sun had climbed up high, and through the gauze curtains, sunlight dappled the pink bed where Ge Dongxu and Liu Jiayao still lay without getting up.

"Do you really know Elder Feng, and even have a mentor-student relationship with him?" Liu Jiayao curled up in Ge Dongxu's arms, asking incredulously.

In the wee hours, the couple had a moment of intimacy; naturally, they didn't talk about what happened at Xiao Yuan Mountain. After a long sleep and upon waking, Liu Jiayao inevitably asked about the progress of last night's events.

Since Liu Jiayao brought it up, Ge Dongxu had no choice but to stop deliberately avoiding the topic of his relationship with Elder Feng. He laid it all out, although he didn't mention Tao Jun pulling a gun, to avoid worrying Liu Jiayao.

"I wouldn't dare to talk nonsense about such matters, of course it's true, but you must never tell anyone," Ge Dongxu said.@@novelbin@@

"That's a given," Liu Jiayao said. Although she was convinced it was true, she was still stunned for a long time before nodding.

"So Li Bisheng is definitely doomed?" After a while, Liu Jiayao shifted her thoughts from the relationship between Ge Dongxu and Elder Feng and inquired.

"That's for sure," Ge Dongxu replied.

"If Li Bisheng is going down, then his Li Fang Cosmetics Company will definitely be dealt with. How about we buy it? With that, our Qinglan Cosmetics will surely ascend to a new level," Liu Jiayao's eyes shone brightly after getting a definite answer.

"I don't want the day when Qinglan Cosmetics makes a name for itself worldwide for someone to gossip about Li Fang Cosmetics. So, I don't agree with buying Li Fang Cosmetics," Ge Dongxu replied without hesitation.

He didn't want people to say that they brought down Li Fang Cosmetics and then used it to become titans in the cosmetics industry.

"If you disagree, then we'll drop it," Liu Jiayao said immediately upon hearing this, though a trace of disappointment flickered in her eyes.

She had always harbored the ambition to grow Qinglan Cosmetics to a point where it could compete with international brands, but with Qinglan's current foundation, further breakthroughs were extremely challenging. Acquiring Li Fang Cosmetics and integrating both companies' sales channels and research and development capabilities seemed like a fast track approach to a breakthrough.

However, since Ge Dongxu was not keen on the idea, Liu Jiayao naturally followed his opinion.

"Don't worry. If I could make Qinghe Herbal Tea popular across Jiangnan, I can find a way to take Qinglan Cosmetics global," Ge Dongxu reassured Liu Jiayao about her aspirations, hugging her tightly with confidence in his voice.

"Really?" Liu Jiayao's delicate body trembled slightly, looking at Ge Dongxu with anticipation.

If Ge Dongxu had said this before, Liu Jiayao would have accused him of boasting. But now, knowing that he had started from scratch and created Qinghe Herbal Tea and Donglin Qi—two brands that had swept through Huaxia Country—she was full of confidence in this eighteen-year-old business prodigy.

"Of course, it's true. For a brand to become popular, not only do you need good advertising, investment, and sales channels, but I believe the key is the quality of the product. Qinglan Cosmetics already has some reputation, with sizable annual advertising and numerous sales channels. What's really missing now is a product that can genuinely impress people," Ge Dongxu explained.

"Don't tell me you also understand cosmetics formulations?" Liu Jiayao said half in jest, half in disbelief.

Liu Jiayao naturally knew that for Qinglan Cosmetics to reach the next level, product innovation was key. Without an impressive high-end product, no matter how much she invested in advertising or how much she expanded the sales channels, it would only result in increased sales, not a qualitative leap in development for Qinglan.

Previously, Liu Jiayao had considered acquiring Li Fang Cosmetics precisely to take over its mature products, allowing Qinglan Cosmetics Company to directly enter the mid-range cosmetics market.

"Of course. Don't forget, I'm a doctor – and not just any doctor, but a highly skilled one," Ge Dongxu said with a smile. Read exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire

"What does being a doctor have to do with cosmetics?" Liu Jiayao couldn't make the connection and looked at him puzzled.

"You can be smart one moment and confused the next. Skin is a very important part of the body. As a highly skilled traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, not only should I know how to treat skin diseases, but I should also know how to slow down skin aging and maintain its youth and vitality. There are methods that work from the inside out and others that protect from the outside in. The medicinal wine I gave you actually contains an effect to slow down skin aging from the inside out and maintain its youth," Ge Dongxu said with a light chuckle, playfully scraping Liu Jiayao's nose.

"Ah! So you're saying you also have a topical formula!" Liu Jiayao suddenly realized, excitedly sitting up from the bed.

As Liu Jiayao sat up, Ge Dongxu's eyes couldn't help but go wide.

...

Eventually, the two of them got out of bed around two o'clock in the afternoon.

Sitting in Mingyue Lake's revolving restaurant, seeing the smug and slightly mischievous smile occasionally appearing on Ge Dongxu's face across the table, Liu Jiayao gnashed her teeth and couldn't help but stomp on his feet several times under the table.

"Let me tell you, Ge Dongxu, if you don't come up with a formula that satisfies me, we'll see if I'll let you do that again!" Liu Jiayao gritted her teeth, but recalling the embarrassing and ludicrous things she had done with Ge Dongxu during the day, her delicate and porcelain-like skin couldn't help but blush like the evening sky.

"Relax, I'll definitely come up with a suitable formula, and it will be all-natural. The key issue will be industrial production. That's not my area, so I can't help with that," Ge Dongxu said, beaming with pride while Liu Jiayao, infuriated, kicked him again.
