Liu Ruoxin returned quickly.
"I've found two people. I'm not sure if they meet your requirements."
Liu Ruoxin presented two more profiles.
"This one is a top-tier idol with immense popularity recently. However, his price is also high, demanding sixty million per quarter."
Su Yutong glanced at the profile of this top idol. He debuted through a talent show, reached the peak of his career upon debut, and currently has no significant works to his name, only high popularity.
"The other is an older artist. They debuted ten years ago and became very popular seven years ago. While their popularity isn't as high now, they are stable, consistently releasing excellent works each year, maintain decent popularity, and have an excellent reputation, actively supporting public welfare."
Liu Ruoxin was particularly optimistic about the latter. He had known this person for a long time, having met them when they first debuted. When he called, the artist agreed without hesitation, only requiring an assessment of the product quality.
"Su Fan, which one do you think is suitable?"
Su Yutong asked Su Fan beside her.
Su Fan looked them over. One was a man, the other a woman. The man looked as delicate as a woman. Despite appearing feminine, he was still a man. Su Fan found the idea of a man endorsing cosmetics rather awkward.
"Her."
Su Fan decisively chose the other person, who looked somewhat familiar. At least she was a woman, and quite good-looking.
Su Yutong nodded. She also felt Liu Mi was a suitable choice.
"Alright, let's go with Liu Mi. Please contact her, Director."
Since Su Fan had spoken, she, as an employee, had no objections and directly selected the candidate.
Liu Ruoxin stared at Su Fan, slightly bewildered.
Wasn't he just a secretary? Why was Director Su listening to him?
"Director Liu?"
Seeing Liu Ruoxin's lack of reaction, Su Yutong called out again.
"Oh, I'll notify her right away."
Liu Ruoxin snapped back to attention and stood up immediately.
"Liu Mi just finished recording a variety show in the neighboring city and will be here shortly. Could you perhaps have someone bring the product over first?"
Liu Ruoxin quickly made the contact.
"Certainly, I'll have someone deliver it."
Su Yutong nodded.
"Then let's go to the study and wait while having some tea."
Liu Ruoxin suggested with a smile.
The three of them then proceeded to Liu Ruoxin's study, where they waited for Liu Mi's arrival over tea.
During their conversation, Liu Mi was surprised to discover that Su Yutong seemed to defer to Su Fan. She often sought his opinion on important matters, which made Liu Mi suspect Su Fan's true identity.
"Director Su, forgive my presumption, but who is this?"
Liu Ruoxin finally couldn't contain his curiosity and inquired about Su Fan's identity.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce him. This is Su Fan, the largest shareholder of our Tongya Rihua."
Su Yutong acted as if she had just remembered, introducing Su Fan to Liu Ruoxin.
Liu Ruoxin's heart stirred.
So, he was the real boss behind Tongya!
He had heard before that after the incident, a mysterious individual had acquired all of Tongya Rihua's shares and injected a substantial amount of capital, resurrecting the company. Otherwise, Tongya Rihua would have declared bankruptcy by now.
"So, it's Mr. Su. My apologies for my ignorance earlier. Please forgive me."
Liu Ruoxin's demeanor instantly shifted to a smile as he extended his hand to Su Fan.
As an experienced professional, reaching the position of director naturally endowed him with keen insight. Changing his expression was a skill he could employ effortlessly.
"Hello, hello."
Su Fan managed a strained smile and shook Liu Ruoxin's hand.
He wasn't particularly interested in socializing, but he couldn't respond coldly to such warmth.
After some time, Liu Mi finally arrived.
Liu Mi was a mature, intelligent, and beautiful older sister, embodying the word "mature."
"Liu Mi, this is Su Yutong, President of Tongya Rihua, and Chairman Su Fan."
Liu Ruoxin introduced them to each other.
Liu Mi nodded and greeted them.
"Director Su."
"If it's convenient, could we look at the product now?" Liu Mi had come out of respect for Liu Ruoxin, but her primary concern was the product's quality. If it were an substandard product, she would absolutely refuse to endorse it, as it would be a waste of her reputation.
"Certainly, please follow me." Su Yutong nodded. She also appreciated this direct approach, saving them time.
Su Yutong's secretary soon brought the new product, along with its various certificates of compliance.
"This is our company's new product, a liquid mask, primarily for scar removal and beauty. Here are our various testing certificates, all meeting national standards. Would you like to try it?"
Su Yutong smiled and introduced the product to Liu Mi.
Liu Mi first examined the certificates, then looked at the product.
It was an exquisite box containing a grayish-brown paste, which didn't look particularly appealing.
"You say this has scar removal effects?" Liu Mi asked curiously.
"Yes, our initial focus was on scar removal. The whitening effect was merely a secondary benefit."
Su Yutong explained.
"How effective is it?"
Liu Mi wasn't particularly interested in whitening, but she was very interested in scar removal.
"The effects are excellent. Initial use will show noticeable results, and continuous use for one to two months can achieve complete scar removal. Even for severe scars, it will only require a bit more time."
Su Yutong was very confident in her company's product.
Hearing Su Yutong's claims, Liu Mi frowned.
She disliked such exaggerated promotional tactics; she preferred honesty and facts.
"If the results differ from what you've stated, I will not cooperate with you." Liu Mi said expressionlessly.
"Understood. Please try it first."
Su Yutong was unconcerned by Liu Mi's change in attitude and looked at her expectantly.
Liu Mi, without hesitation, unbuttoned the top two buttons of her blouse.
Su Fan nearly turned his head away in shock.
This was too open, and there were two men present!
However, Su Fan was clearly overthinking. Liu Mi had only unbuttoned the top two buttons.
As an actress, this was not a significant matter for her, and she wasn't exposing anything she shouldn't.
Above Liu Mi's chest was a scar about an inch long.
She had sustained it when she was a struggling actress early in her career. While filming a horse-riding scene, she accidentally fell from the horse and her chest hit a small tile, leaving this scar.
Over the years, she had tried numerous methods to remove the scar, but none had been successful. Even surgery couldn't completely eliminate it. She had used countless scar removal products, which was why she had been so dismissive of Su Yutong's boasts about her product.
"Apply the cream to the scar and leave it for twenty minutes before removing it. You will see noticeable results after the first use."
Su Yutong instructed Liu Mi on how to use the new product.
Liu Mi didn't pay much attention and applied the paste directly to the scar on her chest.
The first sensation upon applying the paste was a cool, comfortable feeling. Subsequently, she felt a slight itch.
"The itching is normal, don't scratch!"
Su Yutong seemed to anticipate Liu Mi's sensation and warned her.
Liu Mi frowned and immediately stopped her hand, which had been about to scratch.
