Chapter 154 Fawning
The contract negotiations went very smoothly.
After leaving the Palace Cosmetics factory that evening, the four of them had a late-night supper.
After eating, Liu Xiaomei drove Su Ya back to her hotel.
Chen Yang, on the other hand, rode his electric scooter back to his home in the urban village with Liu Ran.
Chen Yang said with a wry smile, "Out of the four of us, we only have one car, and it's Liu Xiaomei's. Isn't this startup company too pathetic?"
Liu Ran gripped Chen Yang's shoulders with both hands and exclaimed excitedly, waving her fists, "Don't worry, we'll be rich in no time. When that happens, we'll rent an office in the most luxurious CBD area and get a car specifically for you, the driver."
"In short, whatever other companies have, ours will soon have too."
Chen Yang was a little speechless. This woman truly regarded him as a driver!
Upon returning home, Liu Ran immediately sat down and began designing the cosmetics.
In today's society, product packaging is paramount.
Liu Ran had to redesign this product inside and out, from its packaging to its name. As the first product of the "Yang Yang Yang" brand promotion company, it was crucial to quickly establish its reputation.
Liu Ran didn't rest all night. It wasn't until four-thirty the next morning that she ate something and managed to get a little sleep.
Seeing how hard Liu Ran was working, Chen Yang shook his head but didn't stop her. After all, although Liu Ran was physically tired, she was clearly growing and improving rapidly.
Around eight o'clock, Chen Yang bought breakfast, but he couldn't bear to wake Liu Ran, wanting her to sleep a little longer.
Just then, a car sounded outside the door, followed by the loud creak of the gate being pushed open. Then, Old Mrs. Liu, along with more than ten people from the Liu family, rushed in.
Seeing this, Chen Yang's brows furrowed. He thought Old Mrs. Liu was here to cause trouble again and immediately stepped forward, asking, "Old woman, what are you doing here?"
When Old Mrs. Liu saw Chen Yang, she didn't scold him right away this time. Instead, she smiled at him and said, "Oh! Chen Yang, you're up so early! How have you been lately?"
Chen Yang was somewhat surprised by Old Mrs. Liu's demeanor.
Old Mrs. Liu immediately took Chen Yang's arm and said, "Young people also need to pay attention to rest. Moreover, this place you're living in is too run-down. We still have empty rooms in the Liu family mansion. You can all come and live with us!"
Old Mrs. Liu laughed heartily and patted Chen Yang's arm affectionately. Then, she walked towards the house and called out, "Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran, are you awake?"
Hearing this shout, Chen Yang frowned. He was about to step forward to stop Old Mrs. Liu from shouting, as his wife had not rested for long!
At this moment, Liu Ran appeared, her hair dishevelled and her eyes rubbing.
Seeing Old Mrs. Liu and the other relatives, Liu Ran was taken aback and instinctively took a step back. She asked Old Mrs. Liu, "Grandma, why have so many of you come?"
Old Mrs. Liu laughed heartily and immediately took Liu Ran's small hand. She said, "Xiao Ran! Look at you, being so guarded against Grandma, it's really going too far!"
"We've come here today for two main reasons. One is to ask you to move back to the Liu family mansion, and the other is for the position of director at Tianliu Commercial Plaza. We want you to take it back!"
"These past few days, that idiot Liu Xin has managed Tianliu Commercial Plaza into a complete mess. I've already punished her. Look, she didn't even have the face to show up today, so we are sincerely inviting you back to be the director."
Hearing this, Liu Ran's brows furrowed. She said to her grandmother, "Grandma, what exactly happened? Just tell me directly. You're telling me to get out one minute and asking me to be the director the next, I'm completely confused."
Old Mrs. Liu, with her thick skin, smiled and whispered, "Xiao Ran, don't blame Grandma before. Grandma was just testing you!"
"Also, I heard everything from your cousin. Yesterday at the jewelry mall, did your husband Chen Yang give you a bracelet, the 'Tears of the Ocean' bracelet worth five hundred million dollars? Let us see it!"
"That bracelet will be displayed in the main hall of our Liu family mansion. With just this one item, our Liu family will shine brightly, and no one will dare to look down on our family again!"
Then Old Mrs. Liu said with a smile, "You two, you just like to keep a low profile. Chen Yang too, you are a world-renowned figure, yet you insist on pretending to be a delivery man. How embarrassing this makes it for us family members!"
Hearing this, Liu Ran suddenly understood. No wonder Grandma was acting like such a sycophant.
It turned out that Old Mrs. Liu and the others had found out about the "Tears of the Ocean" bracelet that Chen Yang had given her yesterday.
After all, someone who could afford the "Tears of the Ocean" bracelet was definitely not an ordinary person. A bracelet worth four billion yuan, coupled with that world-class status.
Therefore, Old Mrs. Liu had rushed over early in the morning to curry favour with Chen Yang and her!
Thinking of this, Liu Ran couldn't help but laugh. She said to her grandmother, "Grandma, you're really overthinking things. The bracelet Chen Yang gave me yesterday was actually a replica."
"Of course, that replica was quite expensive. Chen Yang said he spent over three thousand yuan! The bracelet not only looked good, but it also had sound effects, so the bracelet wasn't actually worth much. Chen Yang just bought it to deliberately anger Young Master Bai Lei Tian."
Hearing this, Old Mrs. Liu's hand trembled violently. With a look of disappointment, she trembled and said to Liu Ran, "Xiao Ran, don't lie to Grandma. Is that bracelet really fake?"
Liu Ran sighed and said, "Grandma, do you think Chen Yang looks like someone who can afford a five-hundred-million-dollar bracelet? And you know that bracelets aren't just bought with money. If Chen Yang were really some important figure, wouldn't my cousin Liu Xin have known long ago?"
After hearing this, Old Mrs. Liu looked crestfallen. Then, she roughly pushed Liu Ran aside and angrily slammed her cane on the ground.
She pointed at Liu Ran and said furiously, "Xiao Ran, you... you scoundrels! You actually tried to fool Young Master Bai with a fake! You... you're really asking for death."
The Liu family members behind her, upon hearing that Liu Ran's bracelet was fake, all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hahaha, I knew it. How could Liu Ran have such good fortune? A five-hundred-million-dollar bracelet? Receiving a bracelet worth five thousand yuan would be a great fortune for her."
"I knew it was fake. Chen Yang, this scoundrel, not only gave Liu Ran a fake bracelet, but he also smashed Young Master Bai's bracelet worth tens of millions and slapped Young Master Bai."
"Now it's terrible. Now it's terrible. Liu Ran, this slut, not only didn't bring honour to our Liu family, but she also offended Young Master Bai and brought down the wrath of the Bai family."
"I think... our Liu family is finished from now on."
Hearing this, Old Mrs. Liu became even angrier. She raised her cane and brought it down heavily on Liu Ran.
