The person on the other end of the phone calmly ended the conversation. "Lan Luo Zi is no longer his concern. His dream is far too magnificent and very unlikely to be realized."

As soon as he finished speaking, the call was disconnected.

However, they failed to realize that this was not just a pipe dream.

Soon, the whole world would witness the miraculous power of the Beautifying Cream, and the entire cosmetics market would undergo an unprecedented revolution. Lan Luo Zi, the once-famous brand, would eventually become a mere foil for Yan Shuiyu and the Beautifying Cream.

「Three months later.」

The domestic market underwent earth-shaking changes.

The once-lackluster Yan Shuiyu announced an exclusive partnership with a rich magnate, and the Beautifying Cream quickly became the core of its cosmetics line. They also launched the Beauty Empire series of skincare products.

Fueled by 400 billion in funding, the Beauty Empire line spread across the country, sparking a fervent market response the moment it went on sale. Consumers experienced significant results and returned to repurchase the very next day. Distributors also made a fortune overnight thanks to this product series.

At the same time, the scales of the cosmetics industry tipped violently. Countless businesses frantically searched for a stable pillar, while Yan Shuiyu stood like a sturdy lighthouse, guiding them to the other shore.

In just three short months, the domestic market was almost completely overshadowed by Yan Shuiyu's brilliance. Its market value shot forward like a meteor, breaking the 600 billion mark and continuing to advance toward the glorious peak of 700 billion.

Lan Luo Zi, which once held a huge share of the domestic market, could only make a helpless exit.

Now, Yan Shuiyu had become a commercial empire, built hand in hand by Zhuge Xiyu and Zhuge Haoran. It attracted a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises and began to expand its territory overseas.

How could Lan Luo Zi just stand by and watch? It began to retaliate with commercial tactics.

However, in the internet age, the reputation of Beauty Empire had already spread across the ocean. The moment Yan Shuiyu set foot overseas, it developed as rapidly as a dragon entering the sea. Lan Luo Zi's attempts to block them were like pebbles tossed into the ocean; they created ripples but ultimately failed to stop Yan Shuiyu's rise.

In just three months, Yan Shuiyu now looked down upon all its rivals in the cosmetics industry.

In Lan Luo Zi's executive meeting room, the expressions of the top management were as grim as an autumn sky. They had once considered it an impossible dream for Yan Shuiyu to surpass their achievements. Yet now, they were witnessing that dream come true. The pace of its progress was like a waterfall crashing against rock, its power unimaginable.

He did it!

The thought resounded in Pan Ziying's mind, her eyes wide with shock and recognition. She recalled the conversation in Chen Zheng's villa; back then, his calm tone had been filled with determination and confidence. At this moment, she deeply felt that Chen Zheng's goals were not empty words but were tangibly feasible.

"This is not the time for shock. We need to take action and devise a strategy. Are we just going to wait for Yan Shuiyu to continue its rise?"

His words were met with a deep silence.

"Do you really think it's that simple? The ingredients of the Beautifying Cream line have been thoroughly analyzed by scientists. Most are derived from rare traditional Chinese medicinal herbs; the rest are merely superficial additives."

"Its effects are flawless and immensely powerful, with no side effects. Do you think we can create a product that surpasses it with our current level of technology?"

"We've tried to replicate its effects countless times, and we've failed every time. We can't grasp its mysterious formula, let alone surpass it. Even if we could produce a skincare product with similar effects, we would still be leagues behind."

The speaker had barely finished when he was scoffed at by the other executives.

"Then what brilliant ideas do you have?" he asked, exasperated.

Just then, someone offered a suggestion. "Actually, it's quite simple. He only makes skincare products, while our hair care and cleansing line remains top-notch. Why not choose to cooperate?"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

He continued, "We can accept his terms and give him 70% of the profits. In return, we want him to incorporate the Lan Luo Zi hair care and cleansing line into his offerings, creating a perfect product bundle."

"Of course, he will have to stay out of our turf, letting us steer the market."

"A brilliant plan!"

"Even though we'll give up some profit, the value added to our cleansing products means our final earnings won't be much lower!"

"With this, Lan Luo Zi's treasured status will rise to its zenith, never to fall!"

A murmur of agreement flowed through the meeting room like a babbling spring.

Following this landmark meeting, the Lan Luo Zi executives reached a unanimous decision on the proposal.

"Pan Ziying, I'm leaving this matter entirely in your hands. Go and meet with him again."

"Understood!" Pan Ziying accepted the assignment without hesitation.

Not long after, Pan Ziying once again set foot in the country.

At that moment, Chen Zheng was in his yard, enjoying the sun's embrace on a lounge chair, bathed in its golden warmth. In the past three months, aside from the ripple caused by the Yan Shuiyu affair, everything else had been harmonious. His life was simple and pleasant: cultivating, keeping up with Yan Shuiyu's progress, and calculating the growth of his assets. It all made him feel incredibly relaxed.

It had to be said, the system's reward of absolute loyalty was remarkably useful.

Zhuge Xiyu had now fully established herself as Su Ming's business partner. Her presence was like a Swiss Army knife, ready to provide the strongest support anytime, anywhere. Meanwhile, Da Hong had shone like a new star in the skies of Magic Capital and Imperial Capital over the past three months. It had taken root in these cities, its development steady and orderly, like a beautiful symphony.

However, today the harmony of this symphony was disrupted.

"Master, you have visitors!" the smart AI announced, appearing on Chen Zheng's phone screen like a sprite.

They've come again? Chen Zheng felt a tinge of annoyance upon seeing the flashing names of Pan Ziying and Zhu Tuyuan on the screen.

"Open the gate," he said. Since they had come to his doorstep, he couldn't just turn them away.

The gate opened, and Pan Ziying and Zhu Tuyuan stepped inside.

"Mr. Chen, long time no see!" Pan Ziying's voice was as warm and pleasant as a spring breeze.

"What do you want?" Chen Zheng asked, his gaze cold as he sat on the living room sofa.

"Mr. Chen, this time, we at Lan Luo Zi agree to your proposal," Pan Ziying said. Her words were as clear as ice, and her eyes were filled with determination.

This time, however, she chose to restrain her temper. Chen Zheng—or rather, Yan Shuiyu—had already proven the miraculous power of the Beautifying Cream with undeniable facts.

"Oh? Lan Luo Zi is being so generous?" Chen Zheng raised an eyebrow, but inwardly, he remained unmoved.
