Chapter 649: Lu Yingxue, Do You Want to Make a Deal?
After a while.
All the directors have voted.
There were 12 people present in total, and Lu Bannong was deemed to have abstained from voting because he was absent.
Vice President Lin Chunsheng asked his assistant to count the votes, originally thinking that many people would abstain or disagree.
"One vote in favor!"
"agree!"
"One vote against it!"
"agree!"
After counting, it turned out to be seven to five.
Most people agreed. It seemed that some people had been working under Lu Bannong for such a long time and still had not lost their original intention as a doctor.
Vice President Lin announced the final result: "We have agreed that Vice President Qiao will take over the follow-up treatment of Ms. Cheng. Yingxue, please tell your father later. He is usually so busy, so he can spare some free time."
Lu Yingxue had no choice but to agree.
She was annoyed. These people seemed honest at ordinary times, but why did they turn against her at the critical moment?
Because the voting was anonymous, she couldn't find out who it was.
Her eyes slowly swept over them, but she didn't get any useful information.
"Does anyone else have any opinions?" Vice President Lin was popular, and no one disagreed with him during the regular meeting. Instead, there was a long-awaited sense of relaxation.
"No."
"We have no objections. This arrangement is good."
Vice President Lin said, "Vice President Qiao can go to the inpatient area to see Ms. Cheng later. A nurse will take you there."
Qiao Xi nodded, "Okay, thank you."
Although she did not achieve her ultimate goal, it was still a good progress.
"The meeting is adjourned."
As soon as he finished speaking, there were the sounds of many chairs being pulled.
The sound of friction against the ground was so harsh that the elderly directors could no longer sit still. They gathered in groups of three or four and left.
Shen Xuanzhi glanced at Qiao Xi, and finally left without saying anything.
In the huge conference room, only Qiao Xi and Lu Yingxue were left.
Lu Yingxue's face turned cold, and she didn't hide her hostility towards Qiao Xi at all: "What a good trick! You actually coaxed Vice President Lin to make the decision for you."
Qiao Xi leaned back in the leather chair and looked up at her: "Do I need to be coaxed? I am also the vice president, on the same level as Vice President Lin. But you, a director, are stepping into other people's shoes. I think you really want to sit in the position of president."
"Qiao Xi, I wonder how long you can stay in this position."
"You don't need to worry about me. Just think about how long it will take you to climb to my position, Director Lu."
Qiao Xi was not gentle at all in front of Lu Yingxue. They were originally enemies and it was impossible for them to make peace.
"Don't worry about that. After all, the Lu family has controlled the Chinese Medicine Association for so many years. With my current reputation and medical skills, I will take over my father's position sooner or later."
Her wave of marketing and blame-shifting after the trial meeting made many people hate Xiang Mingzhu as a troublemaker.
They all believed that Lu Yingxue's medical skills were superb, and that her failure to take first place was not due to her inferior skills, but rather her disruptive behavior towards Mingzhu. After all, Lu Yingxue had already taken first place ten years ago.
She was only eighteen years old at that time.
She is even younger than Qiao Xi is now, and has an extremely charming aura.
No one doubted Lu Yingxue's medical skills.
Her efforts over the years were not in vain.
Qiao Xi looked at her and said, "Do you think I will watch you succeed? We have a deep blood feud. Before we even met, you wanted to kill me, a potential threat. This shows that our Cheng family acupuncture method really makes your Lu family wary."
The Plum Blossom Nine Needles is indeed very powerful.
But what’s even more powerful is the Lingshu Nine Needles inside.
Qiao Xi was slowly comprehending.
Lu Yingxue bit her cheek and looked at her, her eyes filled with thick ink.
Qiao Xi is right!
Her father said that the Nine Plum Blossom Needles was indeed a strong rival to the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles, and that Cheng Han might have another set of acupuncture techniques that he had not shown to anyone for so many years.
The legendary Lingshu Nine Needles.
Qiao Xi watched her expression change again and again, feeling sarcastic in his heart.
Just as she was about to speak, her cell phone vibrated. It was Huo Sijiao calling.
It should be something about the beauty salon.
Qiao Xi ignored Lu Yingxue and answered the phone directly.
"Hey, Jiaojiao."
Huo Sijiao's tone was calmer than yesterday, but a hint of anger could still be heard. "Sister-in-law, Yingyue Pavilion has launched a new beauty cream package. They've also lowered the membership requirements, so our business is even slower today. As for the rest, I've done as you said."
The ingredients of the beauty cream have been improved again.
It is getting closer and closer to Yuji Cream.
However, they have never grasped the essence, and the preparation of Chinese medicine can lead to huge mistakes.
"I understand. Don't worry about business. It will be fine after a while. Just do what I say."
After comforting her for a few words, Qiao Xi hung up the phone.
The meeting room was quiet, and Lu Yingxue heard most of their conversation.
Watching Qiao Xi hang up the phone, she said sarcastically, "It looks like your beauty salon won't last long and will go bankrupt. Over the years, no beauty salon that dared to open across from Yingyue Pavilion could last even a month."
Qiao Xi put the phone in her bag, looked at her and asked, "Is it because you are good at playing tricks? Don't use those little tricks of Mrs. Pei to embarrass yourself. I feel embarrassed for you."
Lu Yingxue scoffed, her masked face filled with mockery. "Don't just talk, show your true abilities. The project Yingyue Pavilion launched today is just the first step. Thank you for the Jade Muscle Cream formula. We at Yingyue Pavilion have improved it greatly and have already added it to our regular beauty treatments. Unlike you, who have to pay for the high-end products."
Although the ladies and socialites in the imperial capital are not short of money, they are not suckers either.
They also know what cost-effectiveness is. Beauty is a long-term endeavor and requires a huge investment.
Every penny saved counts.
"Improvement?"
When Qiao Xi heard these two words, she couldn't help but laugh, "Are you sure it's an improvement?"
She stood up and walked to Lu Yingxue's side. The smell of medicine on her body was very obvious.
Qiao Xi looked into her eyes and said, "You know very well in your heart that the effect of beauty cream is not as good as jade skin cream, otherwise you wouldn't be wearing jade skin cream on your face."
For Qiao Xi, the difference between the two is obvious.
She had smelled it thousands of times when preparing medicine, and the smell had almost penetrated into her bones.
"If beauty cream is better than Jade Skin Cream, then why don't you use the beauty cream from your own beauty salon, but use my Jade Skin Cream instead?" Qiao Xi saw the embarrassment that flashed across her eyes and continued to mock her, "Because you yourself think the Jade Skin Cream is too good."
Lu Yingxue gritted her teeth, her eyes cold.
Qiao Xi could actually tell the difference.
The beauty creams she has formulated so far have reached their limit and she can't tell the difference between the two.
How did she know?
Just by smell?
Qiao Xi laughed, but there was no warmth in her almond-shaped eyes: "Lu Yingxue, do you want to make a deal?"
