102: The precursor to the Lin family's demise, Lin Jianjun's stubbornness.

In the evening.

As Lin Jianjun returned to the employee dormitory, he was so startled by the two "monsters" who rushed out of the room that he cursed on the spot and raised his foot to kick them.

"Wait! Husband, it's me!"

"Don't you recognize me, Daddy~~"

Two familiar voices rang out consecutively, causing Lin Jianjun's expression to freeze, and he instinctively stopped his actions.

"Yue Lan, Xiao Hao! How is it you two?!"

"But your... your faces? How did they become like this?!"

Looking at those two terrifying faces covered in red rashes, Lin Jianjun, who suffered from trypophobia, felt his scalp tingle.

He quickly turned his head away, not even daring to look again.

"Daddy~~"

"We don't know what happened either. Mommy and I woke up this morning and found our faces suddenly disfigured."

"What should we do? Wuwuwu..."

Lin Hao's eyes welled up with tears, and he habitually tried to throw himself into Lin Jianjun's arms as usual, seeking comfort.

But looking at that terrifying face, Lin Jianjun instinctively felt a surge of disgust and subconsciously dodged to the side.

Lin Hao, who had lunged into empty air, was first stunned, then looked at his father in disbelief.

His father, who usually doted on him and loved him so much, was now avoiding him???

Why?!!

"Daddy? Don't you love Xiao Hao anymore?"

"Cough cough... How could that be? It's just that I think Xiao Hao has grown up, and it's not good to be hugging and cuddling like this anymore."

Lin Jianjun was a bit awkward, and while pretending to cough, he changed the subject.

"Let's not talk about that. What exactly happened to your faces?"

"Did you eat something unclean? An allergic reaction?"

When his important face was mentioned, Lin Hao no longer cared about Lin Jianjun avoiding him, and said, on the verge of tears:

"I don't know either! These past few days, I could feel a noticeable itch on my cheeks..."

"When I woke up this morning and saw it, I almost collapsed on the spot."

Lin Hao held a small mirror and was looking at his face from left to right.

Looking at that terrifying face in the mirror, the more he looked, the more horrified he became, even feeling so disgusted he wanted to vomit.

Red rashes densely covered his entire face.

"Husband, are we completely disfigured? What should we do?"

At this moment, Bai Yuelan also walked up, sniffling and crying.

She was truly frightened.

As a woman who loved beauty, she valued her face greatly.

Now that it had become like this, how could she not feel despair?

Especially when she got close to Lin Jianjun, she could vaguely detect the hidden look of disgust in his eyes, which made her secretly furious.

Hmph!

All those vows of eternal love were fake!

Dog men, they truly are all creatures who only care about looks.

However, due to Lin Jianjun still having value to exploit, she dared not fully expose her emotions and could only stand there, looking pitiful.

Seeing that Bai Yuelan didn't get close to him, Lin Jianjun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He had to admit that men were indeed superficial.

Now, Bai Yuelan's appearance made him feel uncomfortable inside.

However, he also knew he couldn't show it, so he tried to comfort her gently.

"It's nothing! It must be that you touched some allergen, right? I'm sure it will get better soon."

"Or you two get ready, and I'll take you to the hospital to get it checked out."

"Eh? Oh, right, why don't you try the beauty cream! Produced by Lin Corporation, it must be a quality product."

"It's our company's own product, safe to buy, safe to use. One application cures all ailments."

"..."

Lin Jianjun now had full confidence in the effectiveness of his company's products.

Hearing this, Lin Hao and his Mommy exchanged glances, wanting to speak but hesitating.

"What's wrong?"

"Actually... Xiao Hao and I just discussed the reason why we both became like this."

"Hmm? And what conclusion did you reach?"

"Ever since the company launched its new product, we were among the first users. We've only used the beauty cream recently. Xiao Hao and I even started using it on the same day, and our faces became like this on the same day..."

"..."

At this point, Bai Yuelan was a bit afraid to continue.

Because she had already glimpsed Lin Jianjun's gradually darkening expression.

"Are you saying..."

"All of this was caused by applying the beauty cream?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!!!"

Lin Jianjun loudly retorted and roared.

He had full confidence in this new beauty product developed by the company.

He fantasized every day about relying on this product to elevate the Lin family further, to reach the pinnacle of the Demon Capital?!

How could he allow others to slander it?

Even if that person was his beloved wife... "Daddy, don't be angry. Mommy didn't mean it that way; she was just making her own guess."

"Hmph! Not even a guess!"

Lin Jianjun snorted coldly, seeing Lin Hao still trying to explain.

But having already lost his good mood, he simply waved his hand and turned to enter the room, leaving only one sentence.

"Forget it! It's a bit late today, and I'm tired."

"Tomorrow, I'll take you to the hospital to get it checked, and then we'll know the exact reason. So stop overthinking and suspecting this and that!"

Bang!!!

The room door was slammed shut, making a loud noise.

In the living room, only Lin Hao and his Mommy remained, dumbfounded.

This was the first time they had experienced such treatment from Lin Jianjun; in the past, only Lin Xuan had the privilege of enjoying such an honor... "Really, what's he so mad about?"

Bai Yuelan, having recovered, stomped her foot in anger. She didn't even have time to lament her disfigurement for now, spitting in Lin Jianjun's direction.

"Alright, Mommy! Daddy is just worried and confused."

"Our facial condition is most likely caused by other reasons..."

"Otherwise, how could it have been so long before any adverse reactions started?"

Lin Hao patted his Mommy's shoulder, signaling her not to overthink it, and that they would know after a hospital check-up tomorrow.

To be honest, he hoped even more than Lin Jianjun that it wasn't a problem with the beauty cream.

Otherwise, the subsequent chain of consequences would be a devastating blow to the Lin family.

Now that he had just driven Lin Xuan away, he had finally become the sole heir of the Lin family.

Lin Hao hoped more than anyone that the company could seize this opportunity and rise rapidly.

That would lay an extremely solid foundation for his future complete control of Lin Corporation and his ascent to the pinnacle of the Demon Capital.

"But no matter how I think about it... sigh, never mind, I'll listen to you..."

Bai Yuelan sighed, no longer speaking much.

Actually, her desire for the beauty cream to be problem-free was no less than Lin Hao's.

After all, Lin Corporation would eventually fall into her son's hands, and she naturally hoped that he would do better and better.

It was just a woman's strong sixth sense that gave her an unsettling feeling that disaster was imminent... Meanwhile, in the small room, Lin Jianjun was just about to rest.

But he was woken up by the "ding-a-ling" of his phone ringing. He frowned and answered the call.

"Chairman, some people suddenly appeared outside the company. They put up banners, cursing our products as problematic and claiming they caused their disfigurement."

Hmm?

Disfigurement???

Connecting it to the faces of Lin Hao and his Mommy, Lin Jianjun couldn't help but shiver.

Could it be that the beauty cream really had a problem?!

Lin Jianjun was somewhat flustered, and he quickly confirmed with the employee.

"What problem? What problems do they have? What are the specific symptoms?"

Soon, the answer came from the other end of the phone:

"There are only a dozen people outside! Most of them are family members of that victim!"

"And they are all wearing masks, so I can't see clearly. It seems they are saying that after applying our product, it caused unbearable skin itching..."

A victim?

And it was unbearable itching?!

Hearing that it wasn't red rashes on the face, Lin Jianjun smiled.

He was 95% certain that the problem on the person's face had nothing to do with the company's product.

It must be some rival company, envious of Lin Corporation's rapid development recently, so they sent people to pretend to be victims and cause trouble, trying to tarnish his brand.

Such tactics were common in the business world.

Even Lin Jianjun himself had used them several times... And besides, even if this person's face was related to the beauty cream, it was a problem with his individual constitution and had nothing to do with the product.

Otherwise, why are so many people using it?

Everyone else is fine, but only you have a problem?!

And after such a long time???

"Chairman? How do you think this matter should be handled?"

"How else can it be handled? Are the security guards just for show? Tell them to quickly chase those people away. What kind of image does it present at the company entrance? It affects the company's image!"

Lin Jianjun gave the order without hesitation.

Then he hung up the phone and lay straight down on the bed...
