Chapter 265 Liu Ruyan's Invitation

After sending off these "partners," the smile on Lee Hyun-ki's face grew even brighter.

He immediately summoned his trusted aides and gave instructions: "Dilute the beauty serum immediately. Dilute the original solution at a 1:10 ratio, and at the same time, add some trivial moisturizing ingredients. Package them into series of products with different volumes and grades, and prepare to launch them into the mid-to-low-end market!"

A greedy glint of capital flickered in his eyes: "Even if the effect is only one-tenth of the original solution, it is enough to crush all high-end skincare products on the market."

"We want to sweep it all! From top-tier chaebol elites to ordinary middle-class citizens, and even those beauty-loving students with a little spare cash, we must not let a single one slip by!"

"Yes!" His subordinates immediately took the order and left.

Soon, an overwhelming marketing storm led by Yixing Group swept across the entire South Korea.

Utilizing the vast entertainment resources at their disposal, they invited the most popular top stars and highly influential internet celebrities to film a large number of advertisement videos showing the before-and-after comparison after using the diluted beauty serum product.

The immediate effect remained incredibly shocking under high-definition lenses and retouched photos.

The skin became visibly hydrated and radiant.

"A miracle! It really is a miracle!"

"After using it, it's like I've become a different person!"

"No matter how expensive the skincare product is, it cannot compare to this magical product!"

The combination of crazy promotion and real word-of-mouth effects instantly captured the hearts of countless beauty-loving women, and even some men, across all of South Korea.

Yixing Group precisely launched multiple product lines ranging from expensive concentrated versions to affordable, accessible versions, satisfying the needs of different consumer groups.

For a time, in major high-end department store counters and even online platforms in South Korea, the "huanyan beauty serum" series became the hottest star product, with sales growing explosively.

Yixing Group and Lee Hyun-ki personally, relying on this magical beauty serum from the Dragon Kingdom, made a fortune, with cash flow abundant enough to make people envious.

Lee Hyun-ki sat in his luxurious office, watching the soaring sales data and financial reports on the screen, smiling with self-satisfaction.

He seemed to have already foreseen that, relying on the huge profits and influence brought by this product, his position within the family would be more secure, and he could even... look forward to higher goals.

And the source of all this pointed to that young man far away in Rong City of the Dragon Kingdom—Jiang Jing.

Lee Hyun-ki raised his wine glass, toasted towards the east from afar, and whispered to himself: "Jiang Jing, oh Jiang Jing, you are truly my lucky star... I hope our future 'cooperation' can be even deeper."

A flicker of imperceptible depth flashed in his eyes.

Time passed quickly, and before anyone knew it, there were only two or three days left until the "half-month promise" set by Jiang Jing, Zhou Wanqin, and Lin Hong.

In the dining hall, members of the security team were sitting around a table having lunch.

Lei Zhen, "Tank," and a few other team members keenly noticed that the two captains, who were usually quiet but had a steady aura while eating, seemed somewhat absent-minded today.

Zhou Wanqin held her chopsticks, but her gaze was a bit unfocused, and she hadn't touched much of the food in front of her; Lin Hong was even more rarely seen subconsciously stirring her bowl with a soup spoon, her brows slightly furrowed, looking like she was lost in thought.

"Captains, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?" The outspoken "Tank" couldn't help but ask with concern.

Zhou Wanqin and Lin Hong came back to their senses at the same time and exchanged a glance, both seeing a trace of imperceptible nervousness and guilt in the other's eyes...

"It's nothing, just thinking about some work arrangements." Zhou Wanqin quickly adjusted her expression, revealing a slightly forced smile.

"Yes, it's nothing, everyone hurry up and eat." Lin Hong also quickly chimed in, lowering her head to shovel a few bites of rice, trying to cover up her abnormality.

Although Lei Zhen and the others found it strange, seeing that the captains were unwilling to say more, they didn't press further and continued to bury their heads in their meals.

Only a question remained in their hearts: What was wrong with the two captains? Could it be that the pressure of the protection mission was too great?

That couldn't be it; they had never executed a mission more comfortable than this.

Jiang Jing had been staying at home and not going out during this period, and they were almost getting fat.

Meanwhile, Jiang Jing was living a life that seemed extremely laid-back to outsiders.

During the day, he would either curl up in the home theater, watching movies with arms around others, enjoying being fed by Li Xue and Xinxin.

Or he would be in the game room playing online games with Su Xiaoxiao, Zhou Wenying, and others, shouting and having a great time.

Occasionally, he would show his face at the company, listen to Jiang Yan report on work, and by the way, appreciate the professional demeanor of the beautiful CEO.

He even chatted enthusiastically with that Miss Liu from the Imperial Capital.

Relying on his increasingly mature scumbag quotes, he teased Liu Ruyan on the other side of the screen until she was laughing uncontrollably, and her favorability quietly climbed in unseen places.

This life was lived with such zest that it made others envious.

However, deep in Jiang Jing's heart, he vaguely felt... it was a bit dull.

This life of being surrounded by beauties and living in luxury was certainly enjoyable, but after a long time, it seemed to lack some excitement and challenge.

"Need to find some fun..." Jiang Jing rubbed his chin, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards Zhou Wanqin and Lin Hong, who were whispering not far away.

Should he tease the two captains, or should he let the long-dusty Water-powered Engine in the warehouse see the light of day...

This thing had been around for a while, and he hadn't brought it out before because he considered the timing immature.

Now, with his own abilities, it should be fine.

Hmm... Find a time to show off my big baby!

Withdrawing his thoughts, he keenly noticed that recently these two beautiful captains seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally avoiding him.

Jiang Jing looked at their somewhat hurried backs, chuckled, and a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes: "Hide? Where can you hide? This manor is only so big; can you fly out of my palm?"

He was not in a hurry at all. The deadline for the bet was approaching, and he was very curious about what kind of expression these two proud women would have when the time came.

Just then, his phone vibrated; it was a message from Liu Ruyan.

[Liu Ruyan]: Jiang Jing, are you busy lately? We have a very nice international art exhibition in the Imperial Capital recently, and a few newly opened private restaurants are said to have super great food. I want to invite you to the Imperial Capital for a few days to let me play the host. I wonder if you are interested? [Expectant expression]

Jiang Jing saw the message and was slightly stunned, then a playful smile rose on the corner of his mouth.

Oh?

Initiating an offline meeting?

This progress is faster than expected.

It seems that this Miss Liu is more impatient than he imagined.

However, Jiang Jing was naturally happy to see this.

Going to the Imperial Capital to look around, meeting this highly discerning daughter of the Liu family, and by the way, seeing if he could find some new "fun," seemed like a good choice.

[Jiang Jing]: Art exhibition and food? Sounds very tempting. It just so happens that my affairs here have come to an end, and I have some free time. Since Miss Liu has kindly invited me, I will not decline. You can decide the time.

The message was sent, and she replied very quickly.

[Liu Ruyan]: Really? That's great! Then do you think the weekend is convenient?

The Imperial Capital, Liu Family Old Residence.

Liu Ruyan looked at Jiang Jing's prompt reply and jumped up from the sofa happily, her face beaming with a bright smile.

Elder Liu, who had been secretly watching his granddaughter, came over with a smile: "How is it, my precious granddaughter, did that kid Jiang Jing agree?"

"Yeah!" Liu Ruyan nodded vigorously.

Elder Liu said with a smile: "See, my precious granddaughter, sometimes you have to take the initiative. Isn't this one step closer to success?"

Liu Ruyan straightened her face and said arrogantly: "Grandpa, I'm just fulfilling the host's duty as a good friend. Don't think too much. What success or not, you are acting inappropriately for your age!"

"Alright, alright, it's Grandpa who thought too much." Elder Liu's face blossomed with joy, and he agreed repeatedly.

"My Ruyan is the best, so you should prepare well."

Liu Ruyan's cheeks flushed slightly from her grandfather's words, and she pushed him coquettishly: "I know, Grandpa, go and do your work!"

Elder Liu laughed heartily and turned away, satisfied.

Leaving Liu Ruyan alone in the living room, she had already started to calculate excitedly:

Which of the newly air-shipped high-fashion dresses should she wear?

What style of makeup should she put on?

Should she be reserved or lively when they meet?

Countless thoughts churned in her mind, and she was full of anticipation and a hint of nervousness about the upcoming meeting.

And what Jiang Jing was considering was...
