Fu Yaning was furious. She came up with a terrible idea: to find someone to infiltrate Mandarin. This way, they could not only steal Mandarin's patented ingredients, but also steal Mandarin's new product plans.
If Ya Ning skincare products want to dominate the market, the first step is to kill off the Mandarin brand.
Wang Cainian searched through her notes from decades ago, but she couldn't find the diary for a long time. Finally, a student reminded her that she had lost the notebook in the old laboratory at the university.
She had the students hand over the notebooks, and then carefully flipped through them herself, finally finding the page with the sunscreen ingredients listed.
“Here it is!” Wang Cainian pushed up her glasses, and several of Lan Mulan’s apprentices gathered around. “This ingredient… I successfully extracted it during my research before, but I didn’t know at the time that it could provide sun protection.”
Wang Cai Nian discovered it by accident. "Extract this ingredient, add it to skincare products, and then test its sun protection effect. This ingredient is relatively stable and generally will not have any side effects when added to skincare products. If it can be proven that it really has a sun protection effect, then you will all have RVs!"
Wang Cai Nian felt really sorry for her apprentices.
These apprentices all harbor dreams and have followed her for many years. Many of them are her doctoral students, but she made them live a simple life so that they could pursue their dreams. Now that she is wealthy, if she can develop sunscreen and win the entire project team's prize money, then everyone will be able to afford a house.
“Mulan, I remember your parents are in poor health, and your younger brother is paralyzed in bed. Your whole family depends on your income. If you can buy a house in Beijing, you can bring your parents and brothers over to take care of them.”
Lan Mulan nodded excitedly. Her younger brother had become disabled while saving her, and she had always wanted to bring him to Beijing for surgery. If the surgery could improve his condition, that would be the best thing ever.
She was prepared to never marry and now just wanted to earn more money so that her family could live a better life.
"Teacher, if it really works, I want to have my brother operated on, but I can't find a good doctor."
Some doctors are extremely difficult to get an appointment with.
Wang Cainian was willing to help find a solution. "Don't worry, I have an old classmate who is the director of the hospital you mentioned. I'll ask him for help, and he will definitely arrange surgery for your brother. If your brother can stand up after the surgery, that would be even better."
Lan Mulan's eyes welled up with tears. Ideals may be lofty, but one must also live with dignity in reality.
She was determined to dedicate herself to the project without expecting anything in return. She was fine with that, but her family had to rely on her meager doctoral income to make a living.
Rural living expenses are not high, and they can make ends meet. However, the parents have been living in the shadow of their brother's paralysis for many years. How can they feel at ease taking care of a paralyzed patient with that little money?
If Lan Mulan could earn a lot of money, enough for her whole family to live on for a lifetime, she would help her younger brother buy a house and a good wheelchair so that he could live with dignity.
The ingredients have been developed, and all that's left is to add them to skincare products and test their effects. As a result, Chu Yu received a tube of sunscreen after half a month. According to Lan Mulan, the sunscreen has a good sun protection effect. Although the experimental data is not yet available, it is clear to the naked eye that applying the sunscreen will prevent sunburn when going on a beach vacation.
Chu Yu reminded them: "Sunscreen at least provides sun protection, so it's okay to sweat and it will be effective even when swimming."
Lan Mulan is good at scientific research, but this is the first time she has ever worked on skincare products. Only after Chu Yu finished speaking did she realize that sunscreen also needs to be waterproof.
"Okay, I'll talk to the teacher. We'll continue our research and development to make the sunscreen more effective and better fit the skin."
Chu Yu nodded and tried the sunscreen after returning home. It spread well on the skin and had a certain skin-correcting effect without leaving a white cast. However, it also had the drawback that most sunscreens have to deal with – it was oily.
After being applied to the skin, it became visibly several degrees oilier.
Chu Yu didn't go out much. She used Chu Xiang and Chu Chu as test subjects. These two had been going out every day recently, especially Chu Chu. The school was holding a sports meet, and she signed up for the long-distance race. She had to go out to train every day, so Chu Yu used her as a test subject and had her try out this sunscreen.
Chu Chu applied sunscreen before going to school, and her classmates all thought she looked fairer and prettier.
"Chu Chu looks like a princess."
"Yes, didn't you guys notice that the actress in 'The Businesswoman' looks a lot like Chu Chu?"
"Chuchu wears new dresses and new shoes every day, and her backpack is from an English brand. She's also very pretty. If I were like her, I would be laughing in my sleep."
Tang Xiaoqi felt particularly uncomfortable after hearing these words. "She's usually quite dark-skinned, so why is she suddenly so fair? Could it be that she's wearing makeup? Only bad girls wear makeup!"
None of the classmates responded. Tang Xiaoqi was very jealous of Chu Chu. Every time someone praised Chu Chu, she would say something sarcastic.
It's a shame she used to be good friends with Chu Chu.
Chu Chu listened to Chu Yu's advice and asked all the girls in the class to use this sunscreen. These days, students don't care much about anything and don't consider whether they will have an allergic reaction. When they heard that this product could protect against the sun and was free for everyone to use, everyone lined up to squeeze the sunscreen from Chu Chu.
"Please remember to let me know how it goes!"
Chu Chu explained with a smile that she was worried about everyone having allergic reactions, so she thoughtfully used Mandarin skincare products for everyone.
"Chuchu, why do you want us to use sunscreen?"
"This is a new product from my sister's company. It's not on the market yet; it's still in the testing phase. You are the first people in the world to try this sunscreen! If you help me out and try it for a while, I'll have my sister send you one to each of you once it's released!"
Chu Chu didn't mention the brand of sunscreen, but Tang Xiaoqi, who followed her closely every day, naturally knew that the actress in the TV series "The Businesswoman" was indeed Chu Chu.
When Qian Yuanyuan told her that Chu Chu was on TV, she didn't quite believe it until she saw Chu Chu acting on TV. Only then did she realize that Chu Chu's life was no longer on the same starting line as hers.
Tang Xiaoqi was both envious and jealous. When she saw the actors using Mandarin products, she inquired about the brand. In a newspaper interview, she learned that the brand's owner's surname was Chu and that he had two younger sisters.
She immediately thought of Chu Chu.
Chu Chu's surname is clearly Zhou, but she always says her surname is Chu. Chu Chu has only been in Beijing for a short time, and she has already acted in a TV series. If it weren't for her family's connections, who would believe that she is so lucky?
Why can Chu Chu rely on her family to act and be a little princess, while she has to face an alcoholic, abusive, and perverted adoptive father? Last time Chu Chu refused to go home with her, her adoptive father started harassing her. She hates Chu Chu to death!
Tang Xiaoqi had always wanted to escape her adoptive father's clutches as soon as possible. She wanted to earn more money, but she was just a student and had no ability to leave.
For some inexplicable reason, Tang Xiaoqi thought of the sunscreen in Chu Chu's bag. That sunscreen, which was said to be unreleased, must be a new product from Mandarin Company.
New products that haven't been released yet must be very important. If she steals the sunscreen and sells it to others, wouldn't she make a lot of money?
