Chapter 527: Chapter 527: They are doomed to be disappointed!

Li Dongyang chuckled, "President Shen, I just don’t understand, Xia Chenyu is your sister after all, how can you bear to deal with her like this?"

The handsome young man said indifferently, "In the face of family interests, what does that bit of kinship count for? Besides, the Shen Family has already given her many opportunities; it’s her own refusal to recognize her ancestors and return to the clan, to not consider herself part of the Shen Family. Whom can she blame? I hope she learns from this hardship and comes to her senses!"

As he spoke, he looked at Li Dongyang with a smile and asked, "I heard President Li is pursuing my sister?"

Li Dongyang chuckled dryly, "You can rest assured, I know what’s important. It won’t affect our affairs just because I’m pursuing her!"

The handsome young man replied, "A fair lady is a gentleman’s good mate. My sister is a natural beauty, any man would be captivated by her! If President Li likes her, after this is over, I can help to bring you together..."

Li Dongyang was overjoyed and said, "That would be much appreciated, President Shen. If I can win the beautiful lady, I will be extremely grateful!"

"It’s a trivial matter."

The handsome youth waved his hand dismissively, his expression grew serious as he said, "Whether we can bring down the ’Beauty Group’ or not, the next few days will be critical. I ask that President Li pay close attention to everything, we must not make any mistakes!"

Li Dongyang said, "Don’t worry, President Shen, there won’t be any problems! I’ve bribed the relevant personnel for this incident, top to bottom, they will cooperate with us to perform this act!"

The handsome young man said, "The ’Beauty Company’s’ press conference tomorrow is crucial. Remember to have those affected ’consumers’ attend, make them act with more zeal to further smear the ’Beauty Company’. And you shouldn’t rest tonight, go and meet with those ’consumers’ once more, and bestow another sum of money on each..."

Li Dongyang laughed, "President Shen, you’re too cautious!"

"The interests of both our families are at stake, we must be cautious! President Li, I’ll trouble you!"

The handsome young man said, stretching lazily and yawning, "Ah, I’m a bit sleepy, I’ll head upstairs to rest... Secretary Wang, keep President Li company for a while. If he has any needs, make sure you satisfy them. Understand?"

Saying so, he left Li Dongyang with a meaningful smile and turned to head upstairs.

"Damn, what a demoness! Watch me exorcise and purge!"

Li Dongyang cursed under his breath and then followed upstairs.

......

Ten minutes later, Li Dongyang left the villa with a contented look, accompanied by a similarly satisfied Secretary Wang.

"President Li, you were so valiant just now, my legs are still weak! I really don’t want you to leave!"

The two walked side by side out of the villa, and Secretary Wang whispered a compliment into Li Dongyang’s ear.

Li Dongyang, elated by Secretary Wang’s praise, touched Secretary Wang’s cheek and chuckled softly, "Little minx, you’re quite something too! Just wait, I’ll have the necklace sent over to you tomorrow!"

"Thank you, President Li!"

"I’m off!"

Li Dongyang waved his hand and ducked into his sedan.

As he watched Li Dongyang’s car disappear into the night, the charm on Secretary Wang’s face vanished instantly, replaced by scorn and mockery, thinking to themselves, "Two minutes and done, such a waste! Pfft!"

And at the very moment Li Dongyang left the estate, a shadow leaped from a corner of the second floor of the villa like a swallow taking flight, vanishing into the night.

The shadow was so fast that the supposedly tight security surveillance system inside and outside the estate did nothing—it might as well have been nonexistent.

Li Dongyang, escorted by several bodyguards, visited more than a dozen households in Zhongzhou City throughout the night.

These households were "victims" who had allergic and toxic reactions from using Beauty Company’s products.

At each household, Li Dongyang left a sum of money and gave earnest instructions before departing.

What Li Dongyang did not know was that from the moment he entered the handsome young man’s estate to the time he left the last "victim’s" home, his every move, every word and action, had been secretly filmed and recorded by an omnipresent shadow.

......

The next morning around eight o’clock, with two hours to go before the Beauty Company’s product crisis press conference, hundreds of people had already gathered in the plaza in front of Beauty Company’s corporate headquarters.

These people included the dozen or so "victims" who had used Beauty Company’s products and their relatives, journalists from various Huaxia media outlets, heads of relevant departments, and leaders from dozens of big and small beauty companies from across Huaxia.

Most of them came in a schadenfreude mood, ready to see how Beauty Company would respond to the crisis.

Especially the heads of those beauty companies harbored malicious hope, wishing for Beauty Company to stumble and even to shut down.

In the past half-year, Beauty Company had risen miraculously, quickly taking up a large market share and imposing great survival pressure on other beauty businesses.

If Beauty Company fell, those under pressure would see a chance to reclaim some market share and gain some respite.

So, while the crisis at Beauty Company was not directly orchestrated by these other beauty businesses, it was nevertheless seen as good news for them.

As it neared ten in the morning, more and more people congregated in front of the Beauty Company headquarters, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

At the top floor of Beauty Company’s headquarters, in Xia Chenyu’s office, Fang Bai and Xia Chenyu stood side by side at the window facing the street. Zhao Xiaomeng and Wu Xiuyun stood behind them as the four looked down at the throng of people on the plaza below, each with a different expression on their face.

Xia Chenyu’s face was marked with jeering and a cold smile, Fang Bai’s countenance was calm, while Zhao Xiaomeng and Wu Xiuyun were filled with excitement and agitation.

"Many of them are here to enjoy our misfortune!"

After a moment, Xia Chenyu hummed coldly and said.

"They’re bound to be disappointed today!"

Zhao Xiaomeng said softly from behind Xia Chenyu.

"The news Mr. Fang brought back this morning really was a surprise!"

Wu Xiuyun glanced at Fang Bai, her eyes brimming with admiration.

"Indeed! Fang Bai, you’ve saved ’Beauty Company’ once again! On behalf of the tens of thousands of employees of the company, I want to thank you!"

Xia Chenyu turned to face Fang Bai, her eyes now full of gratitude and tenderness.
