Chen Xiaozhen didn't believe it. Could there really be such magical skincare products in the world?
On the phone, the samples were praised to the heavens, even using the word "rejuvenation." Anyone who didn't know would think they had obtained some kind of immortal elixir.
Soon, accompanied by Song Yingdeng, they arrived at the research and development center.
The staff at the R&D center were gathered together, greatly shocked by the miraculousness of the beauty cream. Not a single one of them noticed when the company's big boss arrived.
"Ahem!"
Seeing the scene, Song Yingdeng could only clear his throat awkwardly.
Upon seeing the boss, everyone immediately stood respectfully to the side.
"Manager Song, you're here," a lead R&D personnel walked up to him.
This was the person Song Yingdeng had spoken with on the phone earlier. It was because of him that Song Yingdeng had almost thought Lin Xiao Tian was tricking him.
But Song Yingdeng was not angry about this. The R&D center was a department he valued immensely, and he always maintained a tolerant attitude towards his R&D personnel, often joking with them.
It was precisely because of Song Yingdeng's amiable demeanor that since he took over the company, the technical backbone of the R&D center had always been firmly kept by him.
"Old Wu, you said on the phone it was so amazing that I almost didn't believe it," Song Yingdeng said with a smile.
"Haha, Manager Song, it's not that I'm exaggerating. If you see the results, you'll know if I've gone too far!"
After Old Wu finished speaking, he led Song Yingdeng into the crowd.
In the center of the crowd were the people invited to cooperate with the testing, commonly known as lab rats. There were twelve of them in total, divided into three groups, all women, corresponding to ages from twenty to fifty, with a ten-year span.
The experiment used a comparative method. Besides comparisons between group members, there was also a comparison of individuals before and after use. That is, each person had half of their face applied with the beauty cream, while the other half either remained bare or used other skincare products.
Song Yingdeng's gaze immediately fell on the eldest group on the far right.
"Xiaozhen, look, can you see the difference in effect?" Song Yingdeng said triumphantly to Chen Xiaozhen beside him.
"This... it's indeed quite good," Chen Xiaozhen was also shocked.
There was a clear contrast on the faces of those four women in their fifties.
Although they had used other skincare products, the effect was worlds apart!
To put it exaggeratedly, the side with the beauty cream was like a new skin.
Imagine a fifty-year-old woman suddenly having the skin of someone in her early forties. Wasn't that shocking enough?
Not only that, but the differences in the other age groups were also very significant.
The effect of the beauty cream on the skin presented a natural beauty, something cosmetics could never achieve. As a former frontline actress, she naturally knew the vast gap.
"If this beauty cream is so effective, aren't the side effects also very severe?" Chen Xiaozhen asked.
"We have tested for toxic side effects, and there are no adverse reactions. The ingredients are also very compatible with the skin, so even if there's any damage to the skin, the impact is minimal," explained Old Wu, the technical backbone.
Hearing Old Wu's words, Song Yingdeng's face beamed with pleasure.
"Haha, are you still going to argue with me now?"
"You're annoying! Fine, you win, okay?" Chen Xiaozhen rolled her eyes.
"No, no, no, how can we talk about who wins or loses? If I win, it's also you winning, isn't it?"
"Smooth talker," Chen Xiaozhen pouted.
"However, Old Wu! This sample still needs to be tested carefully. It's best to test it several more times, especially regarding safety. There absolutely cannot be any risks." Song Yingdeng emphasized.
"Manager Song, rest assured, I will strictly oversee it!"
Seeing Old Wu patting his chest and assuring him, Song Yingdeng nodded with satisfaction.
"Then you all carry on with your work. I won't disturb you anymore," Song Yingdeng said with a slight smile.
After leaving the R&D center, Song Yingdeng was in high spirits.
Chen Xiaozhen, seeing her husband's demeanor, although she called Song Yingdeng foolish, she was also genuinely happy for her husband deep down.
However, a trace of worry followed closely behind.
"What's wrong?" Song Yingdeng looked at his wife.
"Old Song, you say this medicine is so miraculous. If everyone starts buying from Lin Xiao Tian when it's released, will we still be able to get these goods?"
"Are you worried that Xiao Tian will suddenly raise the price?"
Chen Xiaozhen nodded.
"The competition in the skincare industry is very fierce. If those old companies find out about this, they definitely won't let us develop. I'm afraid that after we've worked hard to make this brand popular, we'll end up doing all the work for others."
Song Yingdeng frowned.
He had been so engrossed in the effects of the beauty cream that he had almost forgotten about this matter.
"It seems we need to sign a contract with Xiao Tian as soon as possible."
"It's best to sign a non-compete agreement as well, otherwise, what if he sells it to someone else?"
"That might be difficult. For something this good, why would they agree to such an agreement?"
"But if we don't, what if someone offers a higher price? Will we still be able to buy the beauty cream?"
Listening to Chen Xiaozhen's question, Song Yingdeng fell into deep thought.
Meanwhile, on the other side, after seeing Song Yingdeng off, Lin Xiao Tian got busy with the construction of his new house.
Lin Xiao Tian was strong and agile, his strength equivalent to several people, greatly improving the efficiency of building the house.
"Xiao Tian, I've called the people who installed the surveillance cameras. Now I'll have them set things up," Liang Xu led several young men in blue shirts to Lin Xiao Tian.
These were the technicians Liang Xu had brought to Jinsha Village before to install surveillance for Lin Xiao Tian.
Lin Xiao Tian nodded and handed the house over to them.
About a few hours later, the surveillance system was finally installed.
The technicians installed software on Lin Xiao Tian's phone, allowing him to view the situation at home from his phone.
Lin Xiao Tian followed the technicians' instructions and began to view the footage recorded by the cameras.
"Mr. Lin, our cameras provide HD imaging, support zoom, and real-time screen recording."
"As for security, you can rest assured. Our software has hackers test it every year, so you don't have to worry about being hacked or anything like that."
The technician explained while guiding Lin Xiao Tian on how to use the software.
Lin Xiao Tian looked at the footage on his phone. He had to admit, the effect was excellent, with full HD quality and smooth visuals throughout.
With such surveillance, he no longer had to worry about encountering situations like the one with Bai Fen again.
Lin Xiao Tian also had Qin Yuxiang install the software, making it convenient for her to monitor the situation at home.
After the software was installed, Qin Yuxiang pulled Lin Xiao Tian aside.
"Xiao Tian, why don't we not install this surveillance?"
