"Why are you banging on the door so loudly? It sounds like you're demanding money!"
"Isn't this about collecting a debt? You still owe me medical expenses and expert fees, which have cost me five or six thousand yuan. You can't just run away now."
After Chu Yu entered the room, she placed the canned food, milk powder, and eggs she had brought on the table, and even made a special detour to the department store to buy two bottles of malted milk powder.
Liu Mingchuan is penniless. He doesn't eat or rest properly after the surgery, and he refuses to accept help from others. These things are enough for him to get through this period of time.
Liu Mingchuan glanced at the malted milk powder, poured himself a glass, and said, "You debt collector, do you want some?"
Chu Yu smiled and said, "I won't drink. Those who collect debts drink red wine and eat cigars. Malted milk powder is not worthy of my status."
Liu Mingchuan got angry again. He had never lost to anyone in a verbal argument, except for Chu Yu.
Chu Yu looked around. Liu Mingchuan's residence could be described as "bare-bones." He was extremely poor, with not a single decent piece of furniture or appliance. The only things he had were a lot of books and experimental equipment. A pile of books filled the bookshelves, giving people the illusion of being impressive but not knowledgeable.
There is another room inside.
"Can we go in?"
"cannot!"
Chu Yu walked in. This was Liu Mingchuan's laboratory. On the laboratory table was a white bottle covered with seals. Liu Mingchuan glanced at the bottle several times, and Chu Yu inexplicably felt that this thing was for her.
"For me, Mr. Liu?"
Liu Mingchuan snorted, his words carrying no real meaning: "You absolutely mustn't touch it."
Chu Yu picked up the bottle and saw that it contained a cream-like skincare product, which looked like a face cream. Chu Yu applied a little, and the texture was thick but not greasy. Most of the skincare brands in China currently focus on basic moisturizing, and this product contains a lot of glycerin, so it won't crack in the cold winter.
But when it comes to the feel against the skin, that's really not the case.
If foreign skincare products are already nearing the summit, then domestic skincare products are still lingering at the foot of the mountain, not even having touched the threshold of skincare products.
We started from a very low point, and we have a long way to go.
However, the face cream made by Liu Mingchuan has a good moisturizing effect and is easily absorbed, without the heavy feeling of domestic skin care products.
"Mr. Liu, this skincare product is quite good. It absorbs very quickly, and I think it has a brightening effect. My face feels very soft after using it."
Hearing her effusive praise, Liu Mingchuan was secretly quite pleased, but he said aloud:
"You're making such a fuss over something I just threw together; you're really naive."
Chu Yu suppressed a laugh, "You just casually put together a composition that's this good?"
"I, Liu Mingchuan, am a child prodigy. I finished my master's and doctoral degrees and I'm only in my early twenties. There's nothing I don't understand in fields like chemical engineering and biochemical engineering."
Liu Mingchuan's life was ruined by his wife and her lover, and later he encountered the ten-year Great Revolution, where he suffered oppression and persecution, which delayed his career for many years.
When faced with a problem, people tend to think for a long time and devise a self-consistent theory to bring true peace to their hearts.
Chu Yu nodded in agreement with Liu Mingchuan's words.
Most people would be considered arrogant to say this.
But the other party is Liu Mingchuan, so everything makes sense.
Smelling the scent of the skincare product, Chu Yu felt that while men were generally good at making skincare products, they lacked the refinement of women in the details. For example, the fragrance of this skincare cream was a bit too strong, and at least in Chu Yu's opinion, it wasn't high-end.
"It would be even better if the fragrance could be improved."
Liu Mingchuan scoffed, "Quite a lot of demands."
Chu Yu smiled. This jar would last a long time. She divided the skincare product into several sealed small bottles and gave one each to Chen Zhuyu, Shu Lan, Shu Hui, and Chu Xiang. She also let her roommates try it with her.
Zhang Ying and Li Miao gathered around. Neither of them had the habit of using skin cream; they would just apply some baby cream and were reluctant to spend money on their faces.
"No, Chu Yu, this is really good stuff! My face feels so soft after using it."
"Yes, unlike the baby cream I use, which leaves my face feeling like it's covered in a layer of oil and makes my skin look darker. It does prevent chapping, but it's not very effective. After using yours... how should I put it, it feels like my skin can breathe, it's so comfortable," Li Miao commented.
These days, it's mostly middle-aged people who have spending power, but we also need to retain young customers.
Chu Yu hopes to receive feedback from different age groups.
So I brought the camera and took pictures of them every day to see if their skin really changed.
If there were a dedicated research and development team, these kinds of photos should be taken in a laboratory.
However, the cosmetics company hasn't been established yet, so Chu Yu can only create the transformation diagrams herself.
Zhang Ying and Li Miao had no complaints about using free skincare products. They were very cooperative, taking photos of her from their dormitory window every day.
After using it for a while, Zhang Ying felt that her skin had a brightening effect, the dullness was resolved, and her skin tone became more even.
Li Miao believed that skincare products could help reduce wrinkles.
Chu Yu thought it was just psychological. No matter how good the skincare products are, it's hard to remove wrinkles. If people spend tens of thousands of yuan and still can't do it, how could her three-no-product possibly do it?
Li Miao was getting a little anxious. "You still don't believe me? Then pull up the first photo I took and see if there's a small wrinkle under my eye."
Chu Yu was skeptical, so she pulled up the first photo that Li Miao had taken.
That's right. Back then, Li Miao had never used skincare products before. It was her first time using face cream, and she didn't have any concept of not being able to use face cream around the eyes. So she applied the face cream around her eyes, applying more to areas with more fine lines.
After a while, the fine lines under Li Miao's eyes really did fade.
You can't even see it in sunlight.
