Chapter 162 Thanks to Young Master Bai
Bai Leitian turned and saw Liu Ran hugging Chen Yang’s neck so intimately. His fury intensified, and he exclaimed, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! That old fox Wang Hongwei swore to me that he hadn’t produced a single box of cosmetics. I refuse to believe there could be so many in the car."
As Bai Leitian spoke, he stormed out of the coffee shop.
He directly got into a van and headed towards the middle of the cosmetic boxes.
He drew out a box of cosmetics and, upon opening it, found it to be the Imperial Jade Powder cosmetic set. The box was full and sealed meticulously.
Bai Leitian’s eyelids twitched. He drew out several more boxes, and each one met the specifications.
Bai Leitian jumped out of the van and spun around to face Chen Yang, shouting, "What is going on? This can’t be!"
He then took out his phone and dialed Wang Hongwei’s number, but it showed that Wang Hongwei’s phone was out of service area.
Liu Ran released Chen Yang’s neck, her pretty face flushed red. In her excitement, she had hugged Chen Yang, and now felt a little embarrassed.
She quickly pulled Chen Yang out as well. Seeing the ten thousand perfectly stacked cosmetic sets, Liu Ran was also incredulous.
She quickly asked Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, what is going on? Didn't Wang Hongwei say he hadn't produced any?"
Chen Yang smiled, holding his phone, and said, "You don’t know yet? The Imperial Cosmetics Factory has a new owner. This new boss seems very reliable. Upon seeing our order, he immediately had the workers work overtime, and that’s how they were produced."
"He also said that when you have time, he’d like to sign a new cooperation agreement with you. In short, the new boss is very generous and willing to give us more profit."
"However, their requirement is that we must sell at least one million worth of goods each month."
Liu Ran nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, extremely excited. She hadn't expected the fifteen million compensation to vanish instantly, and the burden on her shoulders had completely disappeared.
Bai Leitian stood in front of the van, his face a mixture of green and red.
At this moment, two customers who were about to enter the coffee shop stopped.
The two women turned and saw Bai Leitian, and immediately said, "Oh, look, isn't that the Young Master Bai from the advertisement?"
"Yes, yes, it really looks like Young Master Bai Leitian!"
"Wow! Look behind him, isn't that the Imperial Jade Powder cosmetics that Young Master Bai highly recommended?!"
"It really is! Cosmetics favored by Young Master must be top-notch! We should buy a couple of sets to try later. We never thought we’d be consuming at the same level as the heir of a super-family!"
Bai Leitian frowned upon hearing their conversation, a look of confusion on his face.
He couldn’t understand when he had advertised for these cosmetics!
While he was still puzzling over it, Bai Leitian’s phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID; it was his grandfather.
Bai Leitian was startled and quickly answered, whispering, "Grandfather, what is it?"
On the other end, the Bai family patriarch roared with anger, "Bai Leitian, what in the world are you doing? It’s one thing for you to spend three million on cosmetics for no reason, but why are you showing your face and advertising for them?
"We have our own cosmetics company, do you know that with your advertisement, our Bai family’s cosmetics company shares have immediately plummeted by fifteen percent? Are you an idiot?
"Don't you know what your identity represents? For you to endorse a small cosmetic brand is a fatal blow to our own company’s products, don’t you understand?"
Bai Leitian quickly tried to explain, "Grandfather, are you misunderstanding? I never endorsed any cosmetics! I... I did buy ten thousand sets of Imperial Jade Powder cosmetics, but I had other intentions."
The old man on the other end raged, "I don't care if you had other intentions. Go online right now and see for yourself. There are videos everywhere praising Imperial Jade Powder cosmetics. Why are you so foolish? You don't even realize you've been played!"
"In short, I forbid you from lingering outside and causing trouble. You must return to Jinling City tonight, or you will immediately abdicate your position as heir."
Bai Leitian hung up the phone, his face pale. He immediately opened his news feed and, as expected, there were many clips on the headlines. Those video clips were exactly of him praising the Imperial cosmetics in the coffee shop just moments ago.
The critical point was that he had spoken those words insincerely, believing that Liu Ran wouldn’t be able to produce them.
He hadn’t expected Chen Yang to specifically edit this segment and turn it into a video advertisement!
And even if it was made into a video advertisement, why had this video spread so widely and gained traction so quickly?
In just twenty minutes, how had it already become a trending topic?
Bai Leitian raised his head and glared at Chen Yang, pointing at him and saying, "This is your doing! You are infringing on my right of publicity."
Chen Yang burst into laughter, shaking his head and saying, "I haven't infringed on anything. I didn't post these videos. I was just live-streaming. You know, you voluntarily praised my wife's cosmetics in the live stream. I couldn't help it, I didn't force you to say it, hahaha..."
Chen Yang laughed heartily, then took Liu Ran’s small hand. Chen Yang said, "Wife, let's go home. Also, we must thank Young Master Bai for supporting our entrepreneurial venture and for advertising our cosmetics."
"When our company becomes successful in the future, we, as a couple, must treat Young Master Bai to a meal to ease our conscience!"
Liu Ran covered her mouth and giggled upon hearing this, nodding her head, "Okay, we must treat Young Master Bai to a meal."
As they spoke, the two of them got on their electric scooter and rode away, laughing.
Bai Leitian stood frozen, his face pale, anger churning in his chest, but with nowhere to vent it.
He had completely shot himself in the foot. Not only did he fund Liu Ran's business with his own money, but he also advertised her cosmetics. More importantly, his grandfather in Jinling was forcing him to return.
Enraged, Bai Leitian punched the van. He gritted his teeth, picked up his phone, and dialed his secretary, "Quick, quickly delete all videos of me praising Imperial Jade Powder cosmetics online. You must delete them, and also find out who posted them!"
The secretary on the other end replied in a panic, "Young Master, we are trying to delete them, but for some reason, this video is too popular. It's still climbing the trending list. Even if we delete them, half the people in Jiang Province have probably already seen them."
