65: Beauty ointment sales are booming! Is the Lin family's rise imminent?!

Lin Corporation.

Lin Jianjun and the other two had already returned to the employee dormitory.

"Yue Lan! The room is a bit dirty, could you tidy it up?"

Looking at the somewhat messy and dirty environment, Lin Jianjun's good mood instantly vanished, and he frowned as he instructed his young wife beside him.

"Mm, alright. Leave it to me, my dear!"

Bai Yuelan smiled sweetly, rolled up her sleeves, picked up a broom, and began to clean the room.

Such a virtuous demeanor made the smile on Lin Jianjun's lips grow even wider. He felt that with such a charming wife, what more could he ask for?

He then walked to the sofa in the center of the room, sat down with a flourish, and rested.

However, behind the man, where he couldn't see, Bai Yuelan's once smiling expression was now filled with impatience and annoyance.

She hadn't personally cleaned a room or done housework in many years.

She remembered that in the Lin family, she either made Lin Xuan do it or had the nanny take care of it.

But now she was reduced to doing it herself...

"Hmph. I'm exhausted."

"This damn guy, all he does is cause trouble."

"I told him we should stay at my brother's place for a while; it's better than being cramped in this broken room."

"But he refused for the sake of his so-called 'man's face,' and now he's making me suffer like this?!"

"..."

Bai Yuelan's face showed dissatisfaction as she furiously poked the floor with the broom, venting her displeasure.

"Yue Lan, make dinner later. I'm going to take a nap now, and I want some porridge when I wake up."

"Ah... Oh, oh, alright! My dear, you get some good rest! I'll start cooking as soon as I finish cleaning."

Lin Jianjun's voice suddenly came from the sofa, startling Bai Yuelan. She quickly turned her head and responded sweetly.

But in her heart, she grew even more annoyed at having to cook.

Eat, eat, eat.

Why don't you eat yourself to death?!

Isn't takeout good enough? You want me to cook for you?

What nerve!

However, no matter how displeased she was, Bai Yuelan could only keep cheering herself on.

She comforted herself... It's only temporary; just bear with it.

She had wanted to ask her son for help, but after calling him several times, Lin Hao seemed not to hear, staying in the corner playing on his phone.

Sigh~~

Bai Yuelan sighed and could only grit her teeth and start working herself.

But having lived a life of luxury for so many years, how could she have done such rough work?!

After tidying up for less than two minutes, she felt aches all over her body and repeatedly punched her lower back.

She wanted to stop and rest, but ultimately gritted her teeth and continued to persevere... Endure!

I must endure!!!

Half an hour later.

Lin Jianjun, who was sound asleep on the sofa, suddenly smelled the aroma of rice and slowly woke up.

"My dear, you're awake. Come eat!"

"Mm."

Lin Jianjun rubbed his sleepy eyes. Just as he sat up, his phone in his pocket rang.

He glanced at the caller ID: Marketing Director.

Hmm???

Could there be a problem with the beauty cream?!

"(#`O′) Hello! It's me, Lin Jianjun."

"Chairman, congratulations! Our corporation is about to enter its peak period."

As soon as the call connected, a man's ecstatic congratulatory voice came from the other end.

"The market response to the cream is excellent, and sales are soaring. Since its launch, in just half a day, it has already surpassed 50 million."

"If there are no surprises, sales will soon exceed 100 million, and at this rate..."

"..."

After listening to the marketing director's report, Lin Jianjun was first stunned, then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

"Hahahaha..."

"Good, good, good! But you all must continue to work hard!"

"Remember to also urge the production department to increase output to avoid a situation where supply cannot meet demand..."

"..."

After skillfully giving his subordinate a few PUA-like remarks, Lin Jianjun hung up the phone, a triumphant smile still on his lips.

Bitterness turns to sweetness, bitterness turns to sweetness!!!

I, Lin Jianjun, have endured all sorts of grievances lately, and now... the moment of my turnaround has finally arrived!!!

Because Lin Jianjun had the speakerphone on when he answered the call, Lin Hao and his mother also learned of this exciting news and were both extremely thrilled.

"Daddy~~"

"My dear~~"

The mother and son wept with joy, throwing themselves into Lin Jianjun's arms, one on each side.

The three of them shared their feelings at the moment, envisioning the future after the Lin family's rise... Just then, a phone ringtone broke this hard-won familial atmosphere.

Lin Jianjun frowned and pulled out his phone. He glanced at the caller ID and instantly shivered.

"Quiet, quiet. Zhao Hu called. It must be about those few hundred million in loans."

Zhao Hu?

At the mention of this notorious ruthless man in the Demon City, Lin Hao and his mother quickly fell silent.

Soon, Lin Jianjun nervously answered the phone.

"Zhao Hu! Are you calling me about those few hundred million in debt?"

"Don't worry! It's only a few hundred million; I'll pay you back with interest very soon."

Facing Lin Jianjun's slightly fawning tone, the person on the other end of the phone seemed quite pleased.

A faint laugh came through:

"Brother Lin. You're being too formal! It's just a few hundred million; how could I specifically call to demand payment?"

"I just heard your company has been developing well recently, and I wanted to congratulate you."

"And also, I'd like to invite you for a drink tomorrow to discuss some business cooperation."

"..."

Cooperation?

Our businesses are completely unrelated; how can there be cooperation?!

Although Lin Jianjun had doubts, he still owed the other party a large sum of money, so he didn't dare to refute and could only repeatedly agree.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Jianjun's expression immediately turned grim.

He had a bad feeling that the other party... was up to no good?!

"My dear, are you alright? Why did Zhao Hu suddenly call you?"

"Daddy, he wouldn't have some kind of scheme, would he?"

Listening to the worried words of his wife and son in his arms, Lin Jianjun was touched, but also didn't want to show weakness. He waved his hand grandly, saying with great confidence:

"Oh! You're just worrying unnecessarily; what could possibly be wrong?"

"Isn't it just an invitation for a drink tomorrow to discuss the loan? Relax! Taking this opportunity..."

"We can even get to know Zhao Hu, this important figure, turning misfortune into a blessing!"

"Besides, our company is thriving now. Once our product completely dominates the Demon City..."

"Next will be the neighboring provinces and cities, continuously expanding until the entire country, and even the whole world, uses our Lin family's cream."

"By then, what is a mere Zhao Hu? In front of the Lin family at that time, he wouldn't even be fit to carry my shoes!"

"Hmph! I never thought! After getting rid of that unfilial son, the Lin family's luck would turn so quickly, hahahaha..."

"..."

The more Lin Jianjun spoke, the more he yearned and grew excited, unable to help but burst into maniacal laughter.

At this moment, he seemed to see the glorious future of the Lin family, and he even believed his own boasts.

Seeing Lin Jianjun so resolute and confident, Lin Hao and his mother immediately felt much more at ease, smiles appearing on their lips.

They, too, couldn't help but fantasize about the glamorous treatment they would receive once they became a first-tier family member and a wealthy madam in the Demon City...
