"Then how do you explain your close relationship with Chen Zhong, and why you went to the market to support them today?" Shen Huan asked in a low voice.
"Heh, think what you want. You'll soon find out that I can not only protect the patent, but I can also make those who covet the formula patent suffer a terrible fate!"
Yue Shuzhen put down her boastful words, picked up her bag, and left without looking back, clearly filled with anger.
After leaving the house, she patted her chest, looked back at the dormitory with resentment, and stomped her foot.
"A bunch of idiots! Do you think I'm that untrustworthy? Just you wait and see!"
After she left, the dormitory was quiet for about half a minute, and Molly was so angry that she put her hands on her hips.
"I think she's just feeling guilty. She clearly did something wrong, yet she yelled at us. What kind of person is she? Wanqing, you're moving into my dorm today. Don't stay here!"
"Um..." Qin Meng opened her mouth, unsure of what to say, "Shuzhen has always been bold and responsible, could it be... that we really misunderstood her?"
She wasn't sure she could say that, but considering their understanding of Yue Shuzhen and her behavior just now, she couldn't help but offer a rebuttal.
"What misunderstanding could there be! Didn't everyone catch her red-handed? Those two disgusting bastards, Guo Xueyun and Chen Zhong, would they be all over each other if they weren't providing them with value?"
Molly's words were full of anger, but not without reason. After she finished speaking angrily, she turned her head and saw Jiang Wanqing calm as an old sage. Apart from her slightly furrowed brows showing that she cared, she did not have any other major reaction.
"Say something, are you so angry you've gone mad?" Molly nudged her arm.
Shen Huan and Qin Meng couldn't help but find it strange.
"Wanqing, what are your thoughts on this?"
"Hmm?" Jiang Wanqing snapped back to reality, looked at them, and gave a slight smirk: "Did you lose money?"
"ah?"
"I mean, have we lost money these past two days? If not, keep selling, and even more so, without lowering the price."
"What...what do you mean?" Shen Huan scratched his head in confusion: "It's not that we're losing money. We made everything ourselves; it's just that it takes a lot of manpower."
Molly didn't know what she was thinking, but she slowly sat down, calmed herself down, swallowed, and pursed her lips.
"Chen Zhong and his team sell it for even lower prices, and they've snatched all the customers away. We're putting in a lot of effort for no reward."
"I know everyone is working very hard, but I suggest we wait and see for a couple more days; things might turn around."
The more Jiang Wanqing spoke, the more determined she became in her eyes.
The tense and rigid atmosphere gradually dissipated. Although the current situation seemed unsolvable, it was true that Jiang Wanqing had never made a mistake. After careful consideration, the others rekindled their hope.
Molly stated first: "I'll say it again, whatever Wanqing says, I'll do. I trust you!"
I believe it too.
"Me too, anyway, the worst that can happen is that we go back to when we had nothing."
Seeing that everyone believed in her so much, Jiang Wanqing nodded with satisfaction. What a team fears most is not failure, but internal disintegration. She took a deep breath.
"Okay, then, could you please get me a sample of the moisturizing cream that Chen Zhong and his team sell? I'll take it for testing."
"I have some here!" Upon hearing this, Shen Huan immediately rummaged through her bag and pulled out a box: "This was given to me by my friend. She said I should try it, cough cough... to cut my losses in time, but I didn't listen to her."
"show me."
"Give."
The moisturizing cream was handed from Shen Huan to Jiang Wanqing. Before even opening it, the difference in packaging was obvious; a counterfeit was a counterfeit.
The packaging for the moisturizing creams they sell is designed by Molly, a professional enthusiast with a strong artistic flair, directly appealing to young girls and women. In contrast, Chen Zhong's product is just an ordinary tin box, and it's even a recycled one with rust.
Putting aside the differences in appearance, when Jiang Wanqing opened the lid, the fragrance of the moisturizing cream wafted out, and the difference was indeed imperceptible without careful smelling.
Even Molly, who uses moisturizer every day, exclaimed in surprise, "It's practically the same! The scent... and the texture!"
"no the same."
Jiang Wanqing smiled, thinking she probably knew what Yue Shuzhen had done.
"Huh? Let me smell it." Qin Meng took it, smelled it again and again, and shook her head: "There's no difference, is there?"
"Tomorrow I'll take our moisturizer and theirs to have their ingredients tested, and then you'll know."
The test results confirmed her suspicions when she went to find Yue Shuzhen, only to find the classroom door surrounded by people.
"Chen Zhong! You have to give us an explanation! Our faces are all ruined after using your cheap moisturizer!"
"Pay up! We demand an explanation!"
"Selling counterfeit goods will land you in jail! If you don't come out, you can expect the police to come looking for you!"
...
It turned out that the person trapped inside the classroom was Chen Zhong. Jiang Wanqing did not go any further and watched from behind for a while, quietly waiting for things to develop.
It was a huge commotion outside, and things weren't much better inside. Yue Shuzhen sat in her chair as if nothing was wrong, not even glancing at him.
He frantically shook her hand: "What's going on! Why did their faces break out after using the moisturizer! Are you trying to trick me?!"
"Let go!" Yue Shuzhen rolled her eyes and shook off his hand. "I'm only responsible for giving you the recipe. How you make it is your business. How am I supposed to know if there's a problem during your production process? It's none of my business. If you're so incompetent, you might as well go find a block of tofu and kill yourself!"
Her words were so poisonous that even a single lick could kill someone. Chen Zhong choked instantly, his face turning pale with anger. He pulled her up and pushed her outside.
"Go and settle this!"
"Okay, I'll go. Just don't regret it."
She scoffed and walked toward the door, waving her hand.
The door was flung open, and the people outside rushed in. Yue Shuzhen pointed directly at Chen Zhong.
"Everyone, take note! He's the one who tricked Jiang Wanqing out of her moisturizing cream formula. He made it poorly himself, cutting corners and using inferior ingredients, which is why your faces are ruined."
"you……"
Chen Zhong stood frozen in place, with nowhere to retreat. Yue Shuzhen's few words instantly enraged everyone.
"That scoundrel! Hand him over to the police!"
"Give back the ill-gotten gains you made!"
“It wasn’t me, it was her…” Chen Zhong’s face frowned.
However, his words were quickly interrupted by Yue Shuzhen.
"Indeed, it's not just him. Teacher Guo Xueyun is giving him advice behind the scenes. Do you all remember when Teacher Guo teamed up with people outside the school to slander Jiang Wanqing for selling counterfeit goods? Yes, that's right. It's the same people again this time. A leopard can't change its spots."
After these words were spoken, the crowd became enraged and immediately surrounded Chen Zhong, giving him a sound beating. They then complained to the school leaders that very day, and Guo Xueyun, who had been on the verge of being reinstated, was now teetering on the brink of being fired...
After Yue Shuzhen finished doing all this, she clapped her hands and walked out of the classroom. She bumped into Jiang Wanqing at the corner, and Jiang Wanqing smiled at her.
"Would you like to have dinner?"
"Come on, I've done such a big thing for you, I won't hesitate to treat you to a meal." She gave a haughty snort.
