Chapter 532 A Bet? Working at the Club?
Hearing this, Jiang Biyun was instantly stunned, looking at Chen Xuan with a hint of surprise.
The surroundings also fell silent, with eyes staring at Chen Xuan in disbelief.
*Pfft!*
Wang Cuicui couldn't help but burst out laughing, sneering, "You want to buy twenty boxes?"
"You wish! Huo's cosmetics are already sold out at all major market counters. Because of the real-name authentication, even scalpers are out of stock. You really brag without a draft."
Others also chuckled, looking at Chen Xuan mockingly. Jiang Biyun had found a son-in-law who loved to brag.
Jiang Biyun's cheeks also felt hot; she was losing face.
"Don't you believe me? How about we make a bet?"
However, Chen Xuan stared confidently at Wang Cuicui, a sly smile on his face.
Wang Cuicui was taken aback by Chen Xuan's serious expression, but quickly realized. She had power and influence and had sent people to inquire, yet couldn't get any goods. How could Chen Xuan possibly get them?
Wang Cuicui had a sly idea, smiling sinisterly, "Alright, a bet it is. If I lose, I'll give my LV bag, of which there are only eighty-eight in the world, to Xiao Yun as your gift to her."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Biyun's eyes widened in surprise.
"My goodness, Wang Cuicui's LV bag cost her tens of millions, bought from an international socialite. It's priceless and unavailable on the market. She's actually using it for a bet!"
"Cuicui, don't bet! I'll give you twenty million, sell it to me!"
"I'll offer twenty-five million!"
Several noble ladies' eyes lit up upon hearing about the limited edition LV bag. Clearly, the LV bag Wang Cuicui mentioned was worth a fortune and extremely rare.
Not to mention them, even Jiang Biyun was tempted. She had long coveted that bag but could never obtain it.
A limited edition bag with only eighty-eight pieces worldwide sounded like a lot, but it was a global limited edition. With 224 countries and regions, and China alone having 23 provinces, that meant less than zero-point-zero-something bags per provincial capital on average.
Although the Su family had some influence, it wasn't particularly dazzling on a global scale, and even within China, it wasn't as prominent. The chance of acquiring that limited edition LV bag was minuscule.
"That would be too embarrassing," Chen Xuan said with a smile.
"As if you can get it."
Wang Cuicui scoffed, but then said, "Don't rush. I have conditions too."
"Go ahead," Chen Xuan replied.
Wang Cuicui immediately stated, "If you, the live-in son-in-law, lose, you have to work for three days at our newly opened Heaven Club!"
"Work as a gigolo at the club?"
"Hahaha..."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Wang Cuicui, you've gone too far!" Jiang Biyun's face darkened, her eyes turning red as she glared at Wang Cuicui.
"Too far? It's not my fault. Who asked your live-in son-in-law to talk so big, demanding twenty boxes of cosmetics at once?" Wang Cuicui was indifferent.
"We're not betting!" Jiang Biyun declared resolutely.
Chen Xuan was the Su family's live-in son-in-law. Although he hadn't formally married into the family, it had already spread throughout the upper circles of the provincial capital. If Chen Xuan were to work as a gigolo at a club, wouldn't that completely disgrace the Su family, making them a laughingstock in the provincial capital's elite circles?
Wang Cuicui and the others scoffed, "You don't even dare to bet, how cowardly! Tsk!"
"Xiao Yun, your son-in-law has a good physique, he should be quite capable. Why don't you bet? I'll come to the club to support your son-in-law another day!" a plump noblewoman said, covering her mouth and laughing, joking without restraint.
The surroundings erupted in boisterous laughter, with indecent jokes being made intermittently.
At this moment, Jiang Biyun's face was flushed with shame; she truly wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
"No, Auntie, I'm taking this bet."
Chen Xuan smiled slightly.
All the laughter abruptly stopped. Everyone stared at Chen Xuan in shock, their eyes filled with disbelief.
No one had expected Chen Xuan to dare to accept.
"Alright, I didn't expect you, little man, to have such courage." Wang Cuicui licked her red lips, appraising Chen Xuan.
"What bet are we making? Do you really want my Su family to be shamed? It's one thing if you're shamed, but you'll drag down the Su family, and Yun Xi, and become the laughingstock of the provincial capital!" Jiang Biyun gritted her teeth, her eyes red.
"Auntie, you have to believe me," Chen Xuan said with a smile.
Believe him?
How could Jiang Biyun believe Chen Xuan?
She knew that she had already used her connections to call the mall managers who sold the cosmetics, but they couldn't even provide a single box.
She couldn't exert any influence, so how could Chen Xuan have connections?
"Auntie, I'm going to get the cosmetics now. I'll be back soon."
With these words, Chen Xuan left the living room with a smile.
After Chen Xuan left, everyone looked at Jiang Biyun, unable to contain their amusement.
The Su family's live-in son-in-law working at a club, hah, just thinking about it was hilariously entertaining!
Chen Xuan drove straight to Huo's Cosmetics. He had called Huo Yuhao on the phone, but the calls went unanswered. Finally, on the third attempt, Huo Yuhao's call went through.
"Huo Yuhao, you're quite busy with business," Chen Xuan said with a hint of annoyance.
Huo Yuhao chuckled, "Mr. Chen, you jest. It's just that Huo's cosmetics are selling like hotcakes. Many people are calling me through connections, wanting some cosmetics. I really didn't mean to ignore your calls."
"Alright, alright, I understand."
Chen Xuan nodded with a smile.
Huo's Cosmetics was probably going to make a killing this time.
"Mr. Chen, what can I do for you?" Huo Yuhao quickly asked.
Chen Xuan directly said, "Yuhao, prepare twenty boxes of the newly launched cosmetic for me."
"Ah?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao was dumbfounded.
Hearing no response from the other end of the line for a while, Chen Xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes and swallowed, "Damn it, do you not have any stock over there either?"
Huo Yuhao replied with a wry smile, "Mr. Chen, there really isn't any. All the cosmetics produced today were taken by the provincial leaders just now. We don't even have raw materials left."
"Damn it, you're not going to make me go to the club tomorrow, are you?"
Chen Xuan couldn't help but curse.
He never expected Huo's Cosmetics to be this popular. Huo's Cosmetics had run out of raw materials. Did he really have to go work at the club tomorrow?
"Work at the club?" Huo Yuhao was stunned, somewhat bewildered.
Chen Xuan briefly explained the situation.
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but burst into laughter and even joked, "Mr. Chen, why don't I go support you tomorrow?"
"Get lost. Hurry up and find a solution," Chen Xuan playfully chided him.
"I didn't expect Mr. Chen's aunt to like Huo's cosmetics so much. That's great."
Huo Yuhao became serious, gritting his teeth, "Mr. Chen, please rest assured. I'm sending people to gather materials now and will rush production for you! I absolutely won't let you go to the club."
"Good! I'm on my way to Huo's Cosmetics now. Hurry up," Chen Xuan said in a deep voice.
"Mission guaranteed to be completed!"
After hanging up the phone, Huo Yuhao immediately made seven or eight calls, calling in several favors, and finally spent a significant amount of money to intercept a truckload of raw materials, all to produce twenty boxes of cosmetics for Chen Xuan.
The value of this batch of cosmetics had far surpassed its original price!
