Chapter 42 Your Potion
Chen Yang rode the delivery electric scooter, taking Liu Ran back to the slum filled with a sour stench.
Chen Yang felt an ache in his heart.
It seemed he had to find a reason to move out quickly.
Liu Ran was now very spirited.
For so many years, she had been on the fringes of her family, ostracized. Her parents had always been the most lowly in the household.
And today, at the Liu family, she and her mother had finally gained attention.
Although Liu Ran knew this attention was tinged with her grandmother's ulterior motives.
However, the pride in her chest had been able to unfurl.
After sitting down, Liu Ran immediately opened an extremely worn-out desktop computer.
The computer's screen was still the bulky, old-fashioned type.
Liu Ran opened it and skillfully searched for information about Yasi Hongdai Company and the performance of its various products.
Watching Liu Ran work hard, Chen Yang suddenly felt a sense of comfort.
No matter what the old lady's intentions were, this had at least ignited Liu Ran's inner confidence and pride.
Heh, this was actually quite good.
Chen Yang walked out.
He took out his phone and dialed Zhu Que's number.
"Celestial Venerable, what are your orders?" Zhu Que was currently sitting on a giant billboard in Qingzhou City's CBD.
Her red dress fluttered, surveying half of Qingzhou City.
Chen Yang asked, "Do you know who is in charge of Yasi Hongdai in Qingzhou City?"
Zhu Que paused upon hearing this and said, "Celestial Venerable, you've stumped me. I do know the CEO of Yasi Hongdai Group, but I don't know the person in charge of the small Qingzhou City. I'll inquire for you."
Chen Yang heard this and said, "You even know their CEO?"
Zhu Que was speechless. "Celestial Venerable, you have a forgetful mind. Don't you remember? The CEO of Yasi Hongdai is GE Wei from England. Five years ago, GE Wei fell from her horse and you cured her, also giving her a scar-removing ointment. Now, Yasi Hongdai Group's success as a global leader in cosmetics is thanks to that potion you gave her!"
Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "That little brat? She's the CEO of Yasi Hongdai now?"
Zhu Que giggled, "She's not a little brat. She's a year older than you! And GE Wei isn't small anywhere. Only you, Celestial Venerable, can resist her grandeur and beauty."
"Go away!" Chen Yang heard this and fully recalled.
Five years ago, GE Wei had fallen from her horse.
GE Wei's grandfather was a famous major capitalist, and more importantly, he possessed an ancient book.
That ancient book was very important to him.
GE Wei's grandfather had approached the Hall of Heavenly Doctors, asking him to treat GE Wei's bone injuries, especially the wounds on her face.
He had healed GE Wei and received the ancient book and a large sum of money.
As he was leaving, GE Wei had asked him for the ointment.
At the time, he hadn't thought it was precious, so he had given the ointment to GE Wei.
He never expected that after five years, GE Wei, relying on that ointment formula, had made Yasi Hongdai Group the current pinnacle of world cosmetics.
Chen Yang gave a wry smile and said, "Alright, I understand. Then this matter will be easy to handle."
Zhu Que said, "Okay, Celestial Venerable. Contact me anytime if you have any problems. Yasi Hongdai usually stays at the Tiande Hotel. That's our property, you can go there anytime and instruct her to do your bidding."
Chen Yang said he understood.
He hung up the phone.
Chen Yang turned and walked back into the dilapidated house.
He decided that he would help his wife obtain the position of mall director, and then they should be able to change their living situation.
Lying on the sofa, listening to the cicadas chirping around him, Chen Yang gradually fell asleep.
After a long while.
Chen Yang opened his eyes and suddenly heard the sound of a keyboard tapping from next door.
He got up and walked over, only to find his wife still there, revising the proposal.
It was already past four in the morning.
Chen Yang sighed and said, "Xiao Ran, why are you in such a hurry?"
"No, I've looked at it. The official negotiation date with General Manager Wang is the day after tomorrow. I need to make use of every second of these two days. After I finish writing the proposal, I'll do more verification, fill in any gaps, and try to make it as perfect as possible."
"Only if we consider every need of Yasi Hongdai will they consider our mall."
"This is a win-win cooperation. As the mall party, we must meet the client's needs."
Liu Ran yawned and continued working.
Chen Yang shook his head and went to make her some black sesame paste.
For two consecutive days, Liu Ran shuttled between the mall and the library, researching every need of Yasi Hongdai.
Two days later.
Liu Ran yawned and tidied up the proposal in her hands.
She grinned at Chen Yang and made a scissor gesture, "I haven't completely forgotten what I learned in college. I believe General Manager Wang will be satisfied with this proposal. Let's go, we'll go after breakfast."
As Liu Ran got up, her body swayed.
Chen Yang immediately supported Liu Ran and took the proposal, saying, "Leave the rest to me. I'll take this proposal and give it to that General Manager Wang."
"How can that be?" Liu Ran forced herself to perk up and said, "This proposal is very important, and you don't understand the professional terms on it. In short, let's go. Don't worry, I can still manage."
Chen Yang looked at Liu Ran, feeling a pang of affection.
He reached out and hugged Liu Ran, "Xiao Ran, you really don't need to work so hard."
"How can that be? In this day and age, it's not easy for adults. We don't have car or house loans, so we're already doing much better. Besides, what is this hardship compared to what I've been through before? I'm truly content now."
Liu Ran was speaking from the heart.
Although she was now staying up late, thinking, and working hard, she was living a stable life with hope, without fear.
The past suffering was slowly being forgotten.
Seeing Liu Ran like this, Chen Yang felt even more guilty.
He nodded, "Alright, we'll go together."
Chen Yang took Liu Ran, got on the Meituan electric scooter, and headed straight for the Tiande Hotel.
On the way, Liu Ran introduced the basic situation to Chen Yang.
The person currently in charge of the Qingzhou area is the regional director of Yasi Hongdai Group's Jiangnan region, named Wang Aili.
Wang Aili is a rather famous strong woman. Although she is only thirty-five years old, she is already a well-known professional manager.
As the director of Yasi Hongdai's China Jiangnan sub-region, she holds considerable power and can make decisions on where Yasi Hongdai's flagship store will be located.
As the pinnacle brand of world cosmetics, Yasi Hongdai's flagship store will attract all the noble ladies in Qingzhou City.
Therefore, all the malls in Qingzhou City are now striving to compete for the site selection of Yasi Hongdai's flagship store!
This is crucial for the improvement of a mall.
Chen Yang and Liu Ran arrived at the bottom of the hotel.
Just as they were about to go up.
Suddenly.
A BMW car, grazing their electric scooter, sped past with a screech.
Then, the BMW slammed on the brakes.
The car window rolled down.
Liu Xin poked her head out from inside, looking at Chen Yang and Liu Ran haughtily, with a triumphant expression.
Liu Xin said, "I really didn't expect you two to have the courage to come here! Tsk tsk, I have to say, your faces are really thick. However, I advise you to go back. Brother Long has already arranged everything for me. Heh, the so-called selection is just a formality. Today's winner is me!"
