It's breathable and locks in moisture...

Isn't that just [Moisturizer]!

MX Company is a cosmetics company, after all. Although Lin Xian works in the design department, he still has a basic understanding of cosmetics and skin care products.

In fact, the chemical substance Professor Xu Yun accidentally developed is in a rather awkward position.

In today's industrial field, many materials and coatings can achieve 100% waterproofing and breathability. This technology is already very mature.

The value of this chemical substance in the industrial field is almost zero.

But it's a different story in the skincare field!

Women have three main needs for skincare products:

Whitening, wrinkle removal, and moisturizing.

Currently, moisturizing products on the market cannot achieve absolute, long-lasting hydration.

After all, you can't just slather a layer of industrial material on your face, right?

When applying makeup, to achieve a moisturizing effect, you generally have to apply several layers of skin care products: a layer of essence water, a layer of lotion, and a layer of moisturizer.

It's troublesome, heavy, and uncomfortable for the skin.

But looking at Professor Xu's chemical substance, it perfectly solves all the problems:

1. Thin enough. A single molecular layer can achieve water-locking and breathable effects, and you won't feel anything on your face.

2. Self-repairing. This substance itself is not waterproof or breathable. It forms a monomolecular film only when combined with water molecules. So even if some moisturizer is rubbed off in daily life, you don't have to reapply makeup frequently; water molecules in the air will recombine with this substance and re-form a monomolecular layer.

3. Absolutely waterproof and breathable, zero evaporation. Although this isn't strictly a rigid requirement in daily life, better results are always a good thing.

4. Harmless to the skin. This characteristic is truly unique and is the most important concern for women.

Therefore...

Such a thing that is worthless in the scientific research and industrial fields... is a game-changer in the moisturizing skincare field.

Wouldn't it sell like crazy?

"I understand."

Lin Xian said slowly:

"If we can obtain the right to use this chemical substance and use it as the debut product of our new Rhine brand, it will definitely revolutionize the entire skincare market. At least in the moisturizing field, we will definitely be the only leader."

"That's right."

Zhao Yingjun nodded:

"Currently, major cosmetics companies around the world have offered Professor Xu very high prices. Many companies have offered licensing fees of millions of dollars."

Hiss...

Lin Xian gasped.

Millions of dollars, just for the licensing fee, is really exaggerated.

But Lin Xian is an employee in the cosmetics industry. He knows very well that Professor Xu's product is definitely worth the price.

If he can get exclusive authorization, it is basically equivalent to sentencing all other brands' moisturizing products to death.

Enough to monopolize the entire moisturizing market.

"Actually, MX Company has offered even better terms."

Zhao Yingjun said with a wry smile:

"But Professor Xu simply ignores us... But the good news is that he doesn't pay attention to any other companies either, so we still have a chance."

"Let's go, Lin Xian, let's go say hello to Professor Xu."

...

Lin Xian also carried a wine glass and followed behind Zhao Yingjun to a corner of the hall.

When Professor Xu Yun saw Zhao Yingjun approaching, he turned his head and wanted to leave—

"Professor Xu, long time no see!"

Zhao Yingjun stepped forward with a smile to say hello.

Xu Yun turned around and smiled awkwardly.

"Congratulations, Professor Xu."

Zhao Yingjun raised her wine glass, intending to clink glasses with Xu Yun:

"Your research results are truly a groundbreaking invention! I believe that as long as it is used in the right field, it will definitely be able to exert its due value!"

However...

Xu Yun did not clink glasses with Zhao Yingjun.

He lowered his head and smiled self-deprecatingly:

"Are you talking about that ridiculous failure? I've had enough ridicule."

"No, Professor Xu! I don't think it's a failure. You should cherish your rese—"

"Ms. Zhao."

Xu Yun reached out to interrupt Zhao Yingjun. He looked up and said with a serious face:

"Ms. Zhao, I am very happy to see you here today."

"If you are here to donate funds to the scientific cause, then I can drink as many glasses as you want."

"But if you are here for my ridiculous failure... then I'm sorry, I can't accompany you. I've told you before, my dignity as a scientist cannot allow me to do this."

...

Lin Xian narrowed his eyes.

It was obvious that Professor Xu Yun did not welcome Zhao Yingjun and was even very resistant to contacting these cosmetics companies.

"You're laughing at me, Professor Xu. One thing is another."

Zhao Yingjun still maintained a smile:

"Today I am here to support the scientific cause and scientific research, with absolutely no other meaning."

"That's good, then I will thank Ms. Zhao here on behalf of the scientific researchers in Donghai City!"

Professor Xu Yun stretched out his wine glass to clink glasses, and Zhao Yingjun deliberately lowered it a little.

Clink!

After clinking glasses, they both drank it all in one gulp.

Professor Xu Yun wiped his mouth with his sleeve and looked at Zhao Yingjun:

"Ms. Zhao, I hope to see you more often on occasions like this in the future, rather than in my laboratory."

After saying that, Xu Yun turned and left.

Zhao Yingjun took out a white handkerchief, pinched a corner, and dabbed the red wine stain on the corner of her mouth:

"See, Lin Xian, he has always been like this to us. Today is considered good."

Lin Xian nodded.

He had very little contact with Zhao Yingjun before, and had never even said a word to her.

He thought that this woman was always aloof and always looked down on everyone.

But now it seems... as the president of a company, she also has her difficulties. She also has to smile at Professor Xu Yun and beg him to clink glasses.

But this is also something that can't be helped.

The company needs to develop.

The people below need to eat.

How easy is it for her to venture into the business world at the young age of 23?

It's just that the colleagues in the company can only see her aura and not her hard work...

Lin Xian still doesn't know why Zhao Yingjun works so hard.

Very little is mentioned about her in the company. All that is known is that she comes from a very good family.

"Professor Xu Yun should be very short of research funding, experimental equipment, etc... Why is he unwilling to exchange that failure for funds?"

Lin Xian was very puzzled:

"With funding support, he can establish his own laboratory and conduct research under better conditions. Maybe he can really research something."

Zhao Yingjun put down the handkerchief and smiled helplessly:

"This is probably the pride and stubbornness of scientists. He has failed for too long and been ridiculed for too long, so he can't accept selling his failure and selling it all over the world."

"The circle of scientists is a very strange circle. How many scientists in the world are greedy for money and power? They are the most indifferent to fame and fortune in the world, the purest people. In their eyes, money is far less important than results and breakthroughs."

"That accidentally born chemical substance is a treasure in our eyes. But in Professor Xu Yun's eyes... perhaps it is a shameful scar. Every time it is mentioned, it is a piercing pain."

Zhao Yingjun put down her wine glass, folded her arms, and looked at Lin Xian:

"You are also a graduate of Donghai University. Can you help me think of a way?"

"Me?"

Lin Xian was stunned.

In an instant, he remembered the scene in the 1986 version of *Journey to the West*, where Ben Bo'erba was ordered by the Nine-Headed Insect: "Go and eliminate the Tang Monk and his disciples!"

What ability do I have!

You upper-class aristocrats and business tycoons are still being given the cold shoulder by Professor Xu Yun.

I'm just a team leader, a primary school student in their eyes. How can I negotiate this big deal for you?

"I'll ask around."

Lin Xian could only answer this way.

He finally understood the purpose of Zhao Yingjun bringing him to this evening banquet... It may be because she felt that he and Professor Xu Yun were both alumni and might be able to get in touch in the future.

But she overestimated him too much.

Perhaps the outstanding performance of the Rhine Cat project has given Zhao Yingjun a deep misunderstanding of his true level.

But that cat was copied from a dream!

Could it be that he can copy Professor Xu Yun's research results from a dream?
