Chapter 333: Chapter 250 Big Brother_1

Face masks?

For a moment, no one spoke.

They had thought they could guess why Feng Chi had organized this little gathering, but now, looking at this... what kind of game was this?

Unable to figure out Feng Chi’s intentions, they were at a loss for how to respond.

The atmosphere turned slightly silent.

But Feng Chi didn’t seem to notice the silence; he took out the jar of face mask with a triumphant look on his face.

"Look at my face!"

Feng Chi leaned in closer to let everyone take a clearer look at his face.

"Uh... it seems well taken care of."

"I wonder which brand Young Master Chi is using?"

"Healthy skin tone, a subtle shimmer, and handsome features—Young Master Chi is especially charming today!"

They hurriedly said.

Since they didn’t know what Feng Chi looked like before, they thought that someone like him, who was willing to spend money, would surely take good care of his face.

They dared to compliment, and Feng Chi dared to believe them.

His face grew more and more smug.

"I’ve been scheduled for so many classes lately, indoor courses, as well as outdoor training. I was a bit careless the other day, and my face got somewhat rough. I heard from my mom that a new top-tier face mask had finally come out, so I quickly asked for a box," said Feng Chi.

They had to protect their faces for appearances on high-definition cameras, with so many people waiting to pick faults.

Even if he wasn’t entering the entertainment industry, Feng Chi had always placed great importance on his face.

Once, when he asked his mom for something to use as an emergency skin care treatment, she gave him this new formula, claiming that the rare ingredients it contained were extremely effective at wrinkle reduction.

Feng Chi didn’t need to reduce wrinkles, and if it had been anyone else asking, his mother certainly would have deemed it too wasteful to give away. But for her only son... well, she could tolerate it, as taking good care of his face would improve her mood.

The ingredients were limited, and the supply they had on hand was a portion gifted from the Ancestral Factory subsidiary; the bulk purchase hadn’t even arrived yet. Giving these to Feng Chi was already quite generous.

His mother had acquired a few small companies, preparing to realize her ambition of launching her own brand. The existing face masks were also meant to curry favor with contacts.

Feng Chi was aware that there was no shortage of demand for this product. His mother had given him these to help him expand his network.

Today was the perfect opportunity for a gathering, with people he would interact with often or possibly collaborate with in the future, so they might as well try it together.

After all, these kinds of casual gatherings were just idle chat, and through talking, people became familiar with one another.

As they listened to Feng Chi rave about the face masks, the group exchanged glances, sharing a brief moment of non-verbal communication.

[Isn’t this... some sort of illegal sales pitch?]

[We don’t know the product name, its production date, or the manufacturer—it’s a completely unmarked product. Dare we even use it?]

[What if it ruins our faces?]

Their smiles were strained.

Feng Chi glanced at them, caught on to their concerns, laughed, and said:

"Relax! These were formulated by the dermatologist at my mom’s beauty salon, developed by a specialist. She’s soon going to launch her own brand. The ingredient sources are all guaranteed, and all the necessary certifications are in place, with the ones still outstanding currently being processed. It’s just that some procedures aren’t yet complete, so it can’t be sold publicly. It’s only given away as a gesture of goodwill to old SVIP customers for trial use. This jar I have was even set aside by her!"

The group relaxed a little.

It didn’t sound so unreliable anymore.

Getting chummier with Feng Chi, one of them grinned and came over, "It’s from your aunt’s salon? And only available to SVIPs? I have to try this!"

Feng Chi said, "Voluntarily, oh voluntarily! Don’t force yourself! If you don’t use it, I can save some more."

Hearing him say this, those who were thinking of making excuses were hesitant to refuse.

Feng Chi frowned inwardly. I’m just being literal! Not threatening!

Ignoring the others, Feng Chi opened the box containing the face masks, and continued talking: "This contains a new ingredient from the Ancestral Factory subsidiary, so valuable and hard to buy. Without some connections and information channels, you can’t even get in line to pre-order!"

As they listened to him, the others visibly relaxed more.

"Ancestral Factory" was too well-known a name; even a subsidiary product could boost trust. Now it was just a matter of the formula’s effectiveness.

No matter how precious or high-quality a product was, if it wasn’t used correctly, it was still a trap.

In their circle, where appearances were valuable, who would dare to carelessly apply unknown substances to their face?

Amidst these thoughts, they saw Feng Chi open the box with the face masks and take out a... toothpick?

"Uh... what is this?" someone asked.

"We have to see if you are allergic or not. Although there’s not enough time, a brief allergy test is better than nothing," Feng Chi explained, dipping the toothpick in to get just a tiny amount—perhaps the size of a grain of rice.

The group: "..."

They could tell it was a tiny amount!

Giving the background of Feng Chi, even with today’s well-known high-end skin care products, he wouldn’t normally be so stingy, with many carelessly laid out on his bathroom counter.

So, this show of frugality from Feng Chi could only mean one thing: the product was indeed scarce.

This approach reassured them further, verifying that Feng Chi was indeed a trustworthy person.

They applied the tiny, rice-grain-sized amount behind their ears.

"There’s not enough time, so let’s just wait two hours. If there are no obvious signs of an allergic reaction after two hours, then apply the face mask. Let’s not waste it," Feng Chi said. He then carefully stored the jar of face mask in a drawer and started discussing matters of the entertainment industry with them.

The group also shared their own experiences with Feng Yi.

Feng Chi listened intently, as it pertained to his own aspirations.

Seeing Feng Chi’s earnest attitude, the group knew he truly wanted to understand these things and had no other ulterior motive, which put them at ease.
