Chapter 324: Plotting to Steal the Anti-Aging Cream Formula
「A short while ago.」
The Little Chef and Wanyan Xiong fought a battle to the death on Luolin Mountain.
With a single punch, he killed Wanyan Xiong and shot to fame!
Even Wanyan Xiong’s father, Wanyan Honglie, perished in the chaos that same night.
Wanyan Honglie had been the man in charge of Central State’s underworld and had close ties with Su Damao.
This was why Su Damao later brought Yan Qingshan and others from the Martial Arts Department to Jizhou, seeking revenge on the Little Chef.
But!
They failed to find the Little Chef, but they did stumble upon some unexpected news: the Shen Family was on the verge of becoming a First-class Clan!
Full of contempt, they decided to pay the family a visit and interfere.
In their eyes, the Shen Family of Jizhou was utterly insignificant!
They were unworthy of being a First-class Martial Arts Clan in Jizhou.
But in the end...
’Sigh... To think that a martial artist as powerful as the Little Chef would pop up in a small place like Jizhou... Wait, could the Little Chef be Jiang Xinghai?’ Shentu Jie stared at Jiang Xinghai as a thought suddenly struck him.
He immediately pulled out a photo of the Little Chef on his phone and compared it to the Jiang Xinghai at the front desk. Shaking his head, he thought, ’No way. The Little Chef is handsome and has extraordinary skills. How could he be this Jiang Xinghai, who’s all talk and nothing else?’
’As if he’s worthy?’
Shentu Jie couldn’t help but sneer.
If he knew that when Su Damao and Yan Qingshan had come to interfere, the former had died and the latter had been subdued, all at the hands of Jiang Xinghai—the true identity of the Little Chef—he probably would have pissed his pants on the spot.
’This whole series of events is connected to the Little Chef.’
Shentu Jie didn’t want to untangle the mess any further. It was giving him a headache. He shook his head and muttered to himself, "Since I couldn’t get the distributorship today, I at least need to find out where the Little Chef is. Otherwise, I’ll have nothing to show for this trip when I go back."
The Shentu Clan of Central State also owned a cosmetics company.
Shentu Jie’s main reason for coming to the AM Company was to secure a distributorship.
As for the Little Chef, he was just supposed to look into it if he had time.
RING RING RING...
Shentu Jie suddenly received a call. The caller ID read: Shentu Shan!
His older brother, the Patriarch of the Shentu Clan!
"Brother, I’ve failed you. I couldn’t secure the distributorship for the AM Company. The Yu Family from the Provincial City snatched it up," Shentu Jie said, his face full of gloom. "And I heard there was only one slot, so..."
"So, forget about the distributorship," Shentu Shan cut in, his voice cold. "I saw the livestream. The effects of the Anti-Aging Cream are truly extraordinary. If we can’t be their distributor, then find a way to get the formula. If you can’t get it, don’t ever come back."
"The Anti-Aging Cream’s formula?" Shentu Jie was dumbfounded.
He never expected his brother’s ambition to be even greater than his own!
After all, a cosmetics company’s formula was its most closely guarded secret!
"This is all your fault. Your behavior in front of the media was utterly foolish!"
Shentu Shan added in exasperation, "Do whatever it takes. If you get that formula, you will have made the greatest contribution to the Shentu Clan. Your branch of the family will receive the same cultivation resources as mine."
"Don’t worry, Brother, I’ll get it done!" Shentu Jie was instantly motivated by the reward his brother promised.
After the call ended, he put all thoughts of finding the Little Chef out of his mind.
Getting the Anti-Aging Cream’s formula was now the top priority!
That way, the Shentu Clan’s cosmetics company could produce its own Anti-Aging Cream!
A bitter expression returned to his face as he recalled his earlier argument with Jiang Xinghai.
’Trying to butter him up to get the formula is completely impossible!’
’Then the only option is to steal it!’
His gaze instantly landed on the office building.
’Confidential documents like that must be locked in a safe!’
The next moment, Shentu Jie vanished on the spot.
Meanwhile, the area around the press conference stage in front of the office building was still packed with people.
Today, the AM Company had not only launched its first product, the Anti-Aging Cream, to great acclaim, but had also successfully signed a distributorship agreement with the Yu Family from the Provincial City.
Henceforth, the Yu Family of the Provincial City would act as the distributor for the entire region south of Shanhe Province.
The territory north of Shanhe Province, however, would remain under the AM Company’s direct control until a suitable distributor was found.
Soon, under the management of the new distributor, Yu Lina, the three hundred boxes of Anti-Aging Cream in the warehouse were completely sold out.
To be frank, Yu Lina hadn’t needed to do any active marketing; the product sold itself thanks to the butterfly effect of the widely broadcast livestream.
Nevertheless, Yu Lina lived up to her reputation as a sales expert.
She expertly managed the process, ensuring that no one who came to the event left empty-handed.
Even those who only managed to snag a single box had few complaints.
She had allocated the available stock by province and city, doing her best to guarantee everyone got a share and that no specific region was left out.
Eventually, everyone gradually departed.
After some discussion, the AM Company decided to hire more staff and ramp up production with overtime to ensure a steady supply of their product.
It suddenly occurred to Jiang Xinghai that with the future production of the Longevity Pill and Repair Ointment, a single facility wouldn’t be enough to meet demand. ’Why not consider opening a branch office somewhere else?’
’For example, in Central State.’
