Chapter 224 Going to Ask for Cosmetics
Su Ya heard Chen Yang's words and helplessly patted her forehead. She looked at Chen Yang and said, "As expected, Chen Yang, you are naturally simple-minded and only suited to hide behind Liu Ran, being a driver and a bodyguard!"
"You are truly fortunate to have found a wife like Liu Ran. Otherwise, I don't think you'd be able to support a wife and children!"
"The crisis our Su family is facing this time cannot be resolved by luck or chance. Sigh, it's no use talking to you about this. If I can't find any news of the Celestial Venerable in another half a month, I'll have to leave Qingzhou City and return to Jinling to join my grandfather and the others in the final struggle."
Chen Yang heard Su Ya's words, curled his lips, and muttered, "It sounds like a farewell. What are you afraid of? You've already died once."
Su Ya was stunned when she heard this, then she couldn't help but laugh, nodding and saying, "Oh! You're right about that. Last time, I jumped from the highest window of the ship with a resolve to die. It was indeed fortunate that you saved me then. If it weren't for you, I would have drowned for sure."
"Speaking of which, you actually know a bit of medicine! You saved me last time, gave me artificial respiration, and even took off my clothes. I was very angry at the time, so I went to ask my doctor friends later. They told me that it's indeed necessary to take off the chest for x-rays during an emergency. Hehe, thinking back, I really misunderstood you back then."
"But it doesn't matter. You've seen my twenty-something years of purity, and you've also compressed it. So, all in all, you're not at a disadvantage, right?"
"And I've never told Liu Ran about this. If I told Liu Ran, you'd be in trouble."
Chen Yang quickly surrendered, not daring to continue arguing with this long-legged woman. Seeing Chen Yang's panicked expression, Su Ya laughed triumphantly again.
The two returned to the villa. Su Ya wasn't good at cooking, and Chen Yang was too lazy to move. They ordered takeout and ate a simple meal. Then Su Ya went to bed.
Chen Yang stood in the bedroom of the top-floor villa, pondering Su Ya's words in the car, frowning slightly. Then Chen Yang took out his phone and called Zhuque.
Chen Yang said, "Zhuque, dispatch some more personnel to the Jinling City branch immediately. Also, secretly investigate what happened to the Su family in Jinling City and who they offended. Protect the Su family in secret for a while."
Zhuque replied, "Understood, Celestial Venerable. However, our Heavenly Doctor Hall has always said that when it comes to secular disputes, we should interfere as little as possible, unless it involves our own interests or those of our brothers."
"This time, Celestial Venerable, you are helping the Su family. Are you interested in that woman Su Ya? I think Celestial Venerable needs to think twice about this."
"Indeed, Su Ya is very beautiful, but Su Ya and Liu Ran are best friends. Celestial Venerable dating both of them at the same time, isn't that a bit immoral?"
Zhuque on the other end said solemnly.
Chen Yang listened, completely speechless, and cursed into the phone, "Zhuque, can you stop being so gossipy? Even though you are a woman, don't forget that you are the chief of the Four Generals of the Medical Kill Pavilion. Close your gossipy heart and don't make wild guesses."
Zhuque on the other end couldn't help but chuckle, then she hung up the phone and went to do as instructed.
Chen Yang rubbed his forehead helplessly, realizing that the people from the Heavenly Doctor Hall had become too undisciplined after living in the mortal world for so long.
Especially Zhuque. She hadn't seen her for over a year, and not only had her strength increased, her appearance had become more beautiful, and her personality had become even more mischievous.
Chen Yang shook his head, took a bath, and went to sleep.
The next day, he bought breakfast and rushed to Lantian Building early in the morning to deliver food to Liu Ran.
Liu Ran was already working. She had only slept for three hours last night and had gotten up early in the morning to tirelessly refine and make final revisions to her design drafts.
At noon, Liu Ran recruited six designers. These six people were not well-known in the industry, and two of them hadn't even graduated yet. However, Liu Ran clearly wasn't looking at their fame but at the spirituality in their work.
Liu Ran herself was a design genius, and she had her own ideas about talent selection. In her opinion, a designer's fame, drawing skills, and even color sense were not important. The most important thing was talent and spirituality, which could not be cultivated later no matter what.
Liu Ran valued this highly. Therefore, although the six people she recruited were complete newcomers, their ideas were imaginative, and their design inspirations were endless.
After recruiting them, Liu Ran immediately had them conduct a series of improvements and designs for Hanfu.
The Hanfu designed by Qianyi Clothing Factory before was too traditional and too focused on restoring authenticity, trying to perfectly replicate the clothing worn by people of all social classes in ancient times. This was not conducive to the sales of Hanfu.
Therefore, while maintaining tradition, it also needed to meet current needs such as being simple, easy to care for, and so on.
While Liu Ran was busy non-stop.
The Liu family mansion was filled with resentment.
Old Mrs. Liu and the members of the Liu family had gauze wrapped around their faces and medicinal plaster applied, their burns still not healed.
Old Mrs. Liu sat at the front, angrily banging the table and gritting her teeth, saying, "Who exactly scalded us that day? What about that woman who was carrying the teacup? And who tripped her? This debt must be investigated clearly!"
"Our facial injuries cannot be scalded in vain!"
Liu Xin's neck and chin were covered in scalded skin and were extremely painful. She said indignantly, "Grandmother, I asked those reporters later, but they all denied it."
"Also, the woman carrying the teacup seemed to be a security guard. I don't know if she was a security guard from Lantian Building. I couldn't see clearly at the time."
Old Mrs. Liu heard this and said angrily, "Lantian Building again, and that little bitch Liu Ran again, it's making me so angry, it's really making me so angry!"
"Our family's money has been taken away by her just like that. I can't swallow this anger. I won't stop until I settle this with that little bitch."
Liu Xin quickly said, "Grandmother, let's not talk about these things for now. Let's quickly find Liu Ran and ask for their Imperial Palace Jade Muscle Powder."
"It is said that the Imperial Palace Jade Muscle Powder can treat burns and will not leave scars. The sooner it is used, the better the effect. Grandmother, hurry up and call her to send us a few hundred boxes."
Old Mrs. Liu waved her hand and said, "How can I lower myself to ask for such a thing? You go and ask. Hurry, hurry, and also ask for a dozen boxes for me. My old face is also quite severely scalded."
Liu Xin hesitated for a moment and shook her head. Her relationship with Liu Ran was not good, so she was naturally too embarrassed to ask for Imperial Palace Jade Muscle Powder at this time.
The old lady saw this and said, "Forget it, let Yang Long go. After all, he still owes Yang Long three hundred million yuan! You can tell Yang Long to go directly to his company and ask for a thousand boxes of Imperial Palace Jade Muscle Powder. We can sell them if we don't use them. I heard that stuff is quite expensive."
Liu Xin said with difficulty, "Oh! Grandmother, Brother Long is very busy lately. One of his major clothing factories is participating in the Jiangnan Six Cities Fashion Design Competition, and it's about to start."
"He's fully focused on that now. Forget it, I'll go ask. I don't believe that bitch Liu Ran won't give me some face."
