Chapter 130 Jiang Xixi's First Meeting with Madam Tan
"Xiya, wait a minute..." Chen Yi said anxiously.
Jiang Xixi actually heard her voice, but she was still holding back her anger, so she pretended not to hear it and continued walking towards the door.
If she hadn't heard Liu Xiyuan's words, ten bottles of skin-brightening cream would have been quite a generous offer.
Because I was busy this time, I was unable to deliver the skin cream, so the delivery time was indeed delayed compared to the previous few months, but even if it was delayed, it was still before the agreed time.
However, Chen Yi's attitude was very suspicious, as if she was afraid of delaying something.
Now that I think about it, could it be that the ten bottles of skin-brightening cream she gave Liu Xiyuan were taken from last month's order ahead of time? Her anxious attitude just now was because she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to deliver the order to the customer.
And judging from the situation, they probably want me to be the one to pay for the replacement.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xixi quickened her pace.
So when Chen Yi arrived at the gate in her high heels, Jiang Xixi was nowhere to be seen.
"It's over, it's really over!" Upon seeing this, Chen Yi's legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground.
Mrs. Jiang, who was in the hall, saw that something was wrong and rushed over.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!" Mrs. Jiang was also caught off guard by Chen Yi's move. What happened?
Liu Xiyuan was also frightened by Chen Yi's appearance, and she took a few steps back in fear.
I was extremely puzzled. It was just a few bottles of good-quality face cream.
Why is she acting like this, as if someone has robbed her of all her possessions?
"Sister-in-law, are you confused? What are we going to do now? Which company's order did you withhold?" Hearing Chen Yi's choked explanation, Mrs. Jiang felt her head spinning. After finally regaining her composure, she slapped her thigh and hurriedly asked.
"It seems to be the Tan family and the Chen family." Chen Yi knew she had made a big mistake, and seeing Mrs. Jiang's extremely bad expression, she murmured.
Hearing the names of these two families made Mrs. Jiang's already dizzy head throb even more.
Neither of these two companies is easy to talk to!
"I'll come back later and discuss with my brother how many bottles of the skin-brightening cream we have at home?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yi's eyes flickered, but she ultimately revealed the truth.
"There aren't any bottles left."
"Fine, fine, not a single bottle left." Mrs. Jiang was really angry. She pointed at Chen Yi, not knowing what to say.
Master Jiang looked at Chen Yi and shook his head. He had never realized before that his wife, his sister-in-law, was so muddle-headed.
Jiang Yurou watched this farce with a cold eye, touching her face, which had become noticeably fairer and smoother in the past two days, and seemed to be deep in thought.
"Snow Skin Cream? It seems to be an enhanced version of the Pearl Cream developed by Chen Wenli's company in my previous life. So, was this originally researched by Jiang Xixi?"
"Hmph, Chen Wenli is indeed a complete hypocrite!"
Thinking of the leverage she held, a ruthless glint flashed in Jiang Yurou's eyes.
...
"Huff~" Jiang Xixi ran into her front door, panting heavily.
Wei Laicheng, who was busy in the kitchen, hurried out and saw his wife looking like this. He quickly went to the main room to pour her a glass of warm water.
"Honey, didn't you go to deliver the skin-smoothing cream? What happened?"
After drinking hot water and calming down for a while, Jiang Xixi told Wei Laicheng everything that had happened at the Liu family's house.
Wei Laicheng's expression grew increasingly complicated as he listened, and his hands, hanging at his sides, clenched into fists.
“Wife, you’ve suffered. We’ll never put up with this humiliation again. At worst, we’ll just stop selling this skin-whitening cream.”
When Wei Laicheng heard Chen Yi call his wife an ungrateful and treacherous person, his expression turned extremely ugly.
They were the ones who were eager to cooperate with them on the skin-smoothing cream business, but now my husband and I are being treated like petty people trying to take advantage of them. It's ridiculous.
“Sell? Why shouldn’t we sell? Why shouldn’t I sell what I developed myself? And not only should I sell, I should also find someone with a stronger background than the Liu family to back me up. I want to show them who is really taking advantage of whom.”
"Okay." Wei Laicheng stroked Jiang Xixi's hair, not asking her what her plans were, but simply responding gently.
He believed in his wife's abilities; if she wanted to do it, she would definitely succeed.
What I need to do is to support her unconditionally and handle other minor issues that might affect her.
Thinking of what his wife had just said about what happened at the Liu family, Wei Laicheng's eyes darkened.
The master and mistress were also present. The master was one thing, continuing to side with his disciple, but the mistress…
Emotionally, he could understand his teacher's wife's actions, but when he thought about the years they had spent together, a hint of pain flashed in Wei Laicheng's eyes.
Indeed, some things do not belong to you. Even if you have possessed them briefly through certain means, they are ultimately not yours.
Not long after, Mrs. Jiang indeed found Huaibei Hutong.
It's funny, actually. When the young couple first moved here and were going through the most difficult time, I never saw them. I never expected that the first time they came to my home would be for this skin whitening cream.
It's true that a relationship of more than ten years is not as valuable as an object.
Jiang Xixi was out on the day Mrs. Jiang came. She wasn't home, and no one knows what Wei Laicheng and Mrs. Jiang talked about. Anyway, when Mrs. Jiang left, she seemed completely lost and dejected.
And what is Jiang Xixi doing?
Of course she's looking for a suitable partner!
Tan Family
Madam Tan sat at the head of the table, looking somewhat dazed at Jiang Xixi sitting below.
This girl looks so much like...
"Madam Tan, Madam Tan?" Jiang Xixi noticed that Madam Tan seemed a little distracted, so she raised her voice.
"Hmm?" Madam Tan snapped out of her reverie and looked at Jiang Xixi, her eyes unconsciously filled with a hint of kindness.
Seeing this, Jiang Xixi's confidence waned even more; it seemed her trip today had been in vain.
But she wasn't discouraged. At least she had come to the Tan family mansion today, which was already a huge step forward. You have to know that she came here today just to see her luck and didn't even expect to actually see Madam Tan in person.
However, things weren't over yet, so Jiang Xixi mustered her courage and continued.
"Madam Tan, I am the founder of Snow Skin Cream. You know its effects, so I won't go into details. Moreover, it has become a trend pursued by the powerful and wealthy in Kyoto, and the profits are considerable. I am here today mainly to discuss cooperation with you."
"Oh? I remember you used to work with the Liu family, didn't you?"
In fact, Madam Tan had already received news of the breakdown of the cooperation between the two companies, but she still asked about it.
"To be honest, something has happened that has made it impossible for us to continue our cooperation. And..." A hint of sorrow appeared on Jiang Xixi's face.
"Moreover, I don't have a strong foothold in Kyoto and I can't help with the Snow Skin Cream business without any background. So today, I'm not so much here to ask for cooperation as I'm here to ask for your help."
"This girl is quite honest," Madam Tan thought to herself with a smile.
However, we could definitely collaborate on the skin-smoothing cream business!
My second younger sister still really needs this.
However, thinking of her second sister, Madam Tan's gaze couldn't help but drift to Jiang Xixi in front of her, because this person looked somewhat like her second sister.
If my little darling had grown up safely, she would probably be this age now!
