Chapter 33 [2nd update, 8000 nutrient solution extra update]

Gu Lan was stunned.

She was a little bit unbelieving and asked again: "Ms. Shen?"

"It means I opened a company, a perfume brand, and collaborated with Charles. You made a comeback, and this is your first job after you return to the public eye."

Miss Shen on the other end of the line had a cold voice and spoke very quickly, as if she was very impatient, but she explained the information to her clearly.

"Why? Shen Yunhe is my unlucky stepsister. My unlucky father plagiarized my product and used her as the spokesperson. Now, I want the genuine product from you."

She looked extremely aggressive now. If she was in front of Gu Lan, she would have leaned over to approach her, staring at her with her beautiful eyes with upturned ends. Few people could withstand such an attack.

Gu Lan was distracted as he held his phone in his hand, and for no reason he recalled the last time he saw her in the parking lot.

With his arms folded, he is cold and arrogant, his words are unquestionable, he is decisive, and he has infinite self-confidence and arrogance.

She thought back to the first time she saw Shen Yuntang.

She was also sitting at the end of the long table in the garden, looking at her leisurely.

This is Miss Shen, always confident, always proud, and always sticking to her own character and decisions.

Unless she wants to change, no one can make her change.

Gu Lan gradually began to feel a sense of envy or admiration.

She had been changed so easily that she didn't know what was left of her.

It would be great if I could be like Miss Shen.

If she had her determination, courage and confidence to stick to her own principles, she might still be immersed in her thriving career field and leading a completely different life.

The past is past.

But the future is not here yet.

Miss Shen is right, she is only 30 years old. She still has a chance to turn her life around.

Gu Lan said softly: "No need to ask why. Thank you, Miss Shen."

"I'm coming back."

Shen Yuntang on the other end paused.

Then, she smiled briefly, as if she was praising him, but quickly hid it, and said with a straight face, "Okay."

——"Go fuck yourself!"

Gu Lan had terminated her contract with her former agency long ago, and now she had no one to contact directly, so she simply didn't bother with the procedures and signed a contract with Shen Yuntang in her personal capacity.

As for the endorsement fee, she firmly demanded that it be zero, and even stated that Shen Yuntang was her benefactor, and if she had to be paid an endorsement fee, she would not dare to take the job.

The people from the Extraordinary Perfume Company finally reacted and gave up.

They still couldn't imagine that the spokesperson that this amazing Mr. Shen said he wanted to hire was actually such an unexpected person.

——The former legendary queen Gu Lan.

How did Mr. Shen get to know so many magical characters?

Shen Yuntang found a new gg company to design a gg with the spokesperson as the main body, but when they handed in their proposal, it was still similar to the previous one. At most, the satin was replaced with ribbons, and the couple was replaced with husband and wife.

Shen Yuntang looked at him expressionlessly.

Gu Lan hadn't faced the camera for a long time, so she was a little stiff. Seeing Shen Yuntang pass several versions, she felt very sorry: "Ms. Shen, I didn't take it well."

Then, she saw a terrible flame burning in Shen Yuntang's eyes.

She stared at the bottle of perfume in the middle of the studio for a long while, then suddenly sneered, "I still don't believe it."

Her desire to win was rekindled.

The second person from GG was also sweating profusely and was a little anxious. He couldn't help but ask, "Boss Shen, what exactly do you want? We have already selected all the candidates for you, but there is still no satisfactory one. Can you give us some specific suggestions?"

Shen Yuntang didn't even blink: "How dare you say this is a backup plan for such a crappy plan?"

Person in charge: “…”

"I watched an episode of a TV show and four GGs popped up and they were able to make all your alternatives." Shen Yuntang smiled mercilessly, "The previous company even had one more ingredient list than you, do you think you deserve my feedback?"

The person in charge choked and could only smile, "Which company in the industry doesn't do this? Different products have different templates. This is how perfumes are photographed. We have been doing this for so long. You want the kind of product that you can remember at first sight, right? This kind only comes out every few years? Most of the time, we rely on this kind of template product to survive. Mr. Shen, why don't you just pick one at random, and we will change the color tone and shoot it more creatively."

Then he saw Mr. Shen with a look of subtle contempt, crossing his legs and looking at him leisurely.

"I spent so much money to buy ideas, not templates." She said slowly, "If you can't do this, you'd better stop doing it as soon as possible."

She gestured to Gu Lan: "Let's go."

Gu Lan was stunned for a moment, then quickly picked up her bag and ran out with her. Shen Yuntang's newly hired assistant also hurried to take the perfume away.

The person in charge was dumbfounded for a long time and didn't react to why they left, until the boss heard the news and came over and hit him on the head.

"You're such an idiot! Why are you delaying the discussion with her when you can't come up with a plan? Do you know how much she offered?"

The boss only regretted that he had not discovered this young man earlier. He thought he had secured this big order, but he didn't expect that he was a little too late and the man had already left.

The young man was still struggling: "What kind of background does she have to be so arrogant?"

The boss hit him hard again.

"Those GG bits she has, are they something that ordinary people can get? Why don't you use your brain?" The boss was furious. "Even ST's new products every year are just like this. What do you think her worth is?"

The person in charge then opened his eyes wide in shock.

After a while, he still said stubbornly, "But this is how it is in the industry. No matter which company she finds, they all give her the same solution. Everyone else shoots it this way, so why can't we do it? She might not believe it unless she shoots one herself. It's not that easy for GG to come up with this."

"You'd better pray that she can't find it. If she finds a better GG company, she'll spread the word and we'll immediately become a laughing stock in the industry for letting such a big order go. Do you believe it?"

“…I don’t believe it.”

The boss almost flew up and kicked him.

After a while, he swallowed his anger and sneered, "Just wait a few days and see. How long you can stay under my command depends on how big of a joke this is."

…

After Shen Yuntang took Gu Lan away, Gu Lan was still a little nervous, but when she saw Shen Yuntang's calm face, she gradually felt at ease.

Miss Shen is like her anchor.

She watched the car drive forward, not knowing where it was going, and couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Shen, have you found your next GG company?"

Shen Yuntang slowly raised his chin, looked straight at the road ahead, smiled slowly, and said, "I've figured out how to shoot it."

"Just listen, I'll take the photo."

Gu Lan was stunned.

Shen Yunhe has been in high spirits recently.

The new drama's online broadcast data is far ahead of others, with a viewership rating of over 2. It was on more than 50 hot searches during its broadcast period and won several awards of varying sizes. Its popularity and status have both risen, and she has become the new top actress among the new generation of young actresses.

Her career was going well, and she finally got rid of the anger she felt for being embarrassed in public by Huo Yuyan.

So what if they want to target her? She can still fight her way out.

Because of the increased social engagements, Shen Yunhe also got to know many socialites whom she had never met before.

One of them, Yan Jinyao, was especially close to her. She even shared with her privately a new perfume that her sister-in-law had gotten from somewhere else. It was said to be made by the Charles family, and there was only one such bottle in the entire country.

"I was angry and asked my brother to ask my sister-in-law for it. Let me let you smell it. The incense made by the Charles family is really different. No wonder people outside are scrambling for it." Yan Jinyao was a little cold and just gave her a light sniff.

Shen Yunhe's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard the word Charles. Then when she heard Yan Jinyao say "there is only one bottle in the country", her heart started pounding.

She remembered something.

Shen Anguo was recently planning to launch a perfume brand line, but they had never done this before, so they struggled for a while in developing new products and were not satisfied with anything.

Ever since being threatened by Shen Yuntang, Shen Yunhe has been very nervous about this father-daughter relationship, fearing that if it were really discovered that the inheritance was Shen Yuntang's mother's, she would get nothing. So she tried her best to please Shen Anguo, at least to let him leave his share to her.

After hearing what Yan Jinyao said, and thinking about how angry Shen Anguo was about this matter, Shen Yunhe's heart couldn't help but beat faster.

This is a perfume that has never been released by the Charles family. Only a few people in the world can get it, and it is the only one in China.

That means, as long as she keeps it a secret from Yan Jinyao, no one will find out.

Not only can she use this opportunity to make Shen Anguo pay special attention to her, she can even become Shen Anguo's "benefactor".

Shen Yunhe was mesmerized by the beautiful future she imagined. She flattered Yan Jinyao so much that she finally persuaded this cold rich girl to soften her attitude and give her a small sample bottle.

Shen Yunhe took the sample bottle back home.

That night, Shen Anguo was so happy that he said that his property would depend on her in the future, and she was indeed his most promising daughter.

Not long after, this batch of products was put into production, Anguo Daily Chemicals launched a new brand line, and signed her as a spokesperson at a top-tier traffic price.

Although all these properties will be hers sooner or later, the feeling of getting a share of them early still makes her extremely excited.

Shen Yunhe was extremely proud of herself for having the sudden inspiration that day and asking for a bottle.

After the product was manufactured, she secretly gave it as a favor to some rich girls who were not on good terms with Yan Jinyao, and told them to use it secretly and then promote it for her after it was on the market.

With Yan Jinyao's arrogance, she would never have anything to do with these people, let alone buy perfume from an ordinary brand line under Anguo Daily Chemicals.

Even if she really found out, Shen Yunhe could make excuses by saying that her father accidentally took the money home, or that he would give her a share of the money into her account. In short, it was not an unsolvable problem.

She lived a happy and contented life. Now, apart from those annoying rivals, no one would mention that she looked like so-and-so.

Shen Yunhe thought of the shadow that had shrouded her for many years and secretly clenched her hands.

She must surpass that person's popularity in one fell swoop, reach a position that she could never reach, and let others know that she is not little Gu Lan.

Gu Lan had long disappeared from the entertainment circle.

The largest beauty and cosmetics exhibition in Hai City will be held soon, and they will also release their new product series for the first time at the exhibition. She also used her connections to find a good booth, so the media will not be able to avoid them by then.

They have extremely high expectations for the flagship fragrance in this series and are willing to spend a lot of money to promote it.

The GG spots everywhere are the most sought-after these days. Video websites, software opening screens, hot search spots, and large screens in squares are all packed.

Shen Anguo had originally picked out several excellent gg positions and was about to ask someone to negotiate, but soon his subordinates came to reply that they had already been booked.

Shen Anguo frowned.

Who is so ignorant that all the gg positions that he had expressed his interest in in advance have been taken. Which young man is he who doesn't know the unspoken rules?

He calmed down and asked someone to talk to the other few.

But I don’t know what happened, those gg positions that were originally vacant were suddenly filled up. After negotiating for several days, I didn’t get a single one.

Shen Anguo was so angry that his face turned blue.

An important part of the promotional process was unexpectedly interrupted, and Shen Anguo was so angry that he threw his phone on the dinner table.

Shen Yunhe shrank back in fear.

She rarely went home for dinner, and her original intention was to celebrate the launch of the new product in advance, but she didn't expect her father to suddenly get so angry.

She carefully interrupted, "Dad, what's wrong?"

"It's all about the GG seats!" Shen Anguo couldn't eat anymore and said with a sour face, "I don't know what happened, but many great GG seats seemed to be gone overnight, and now our promotional rhythm is completely disrupted!"

Shen Yunhe was stunned. She didn't expect it to be so serious. She couldn't help but get a little anxious. "Who bought them? Can we pay a little more to buy them back?"

"The key is that I don't know who bought it! I suspect my competitors, but I asked them privately and they didn't buy it either. They are all scratching their heads in anxiety. I don't know who is such a nouveau riche who has offended so many people."

Shen Yunhe was a little dumbfounded, and finally asked: "What should we do? Is there only a small promotion?"

"This kind of promotion takes too long to work." Shen Anguo said solemnly, "We need a marketing campaign that can spark large-scale discussion to attract traffic to this brand line."

He looked at Shen Yunhe.

Shen Yunhe was stunned.

"It will start being released today." Gu Lan breathed a sigh of relief and admired her sincerely, "Miss Shen is amazing. She actually took such a good picture of GG. When it is released on a large scale, it will definitely scare them to death."

Shen Yuntang was surfing the Internet with his face supported.

She flipped through it and suddenly saw a rapidly rising trending search.

#Anguo Daily Chemicals Shen Yunhe#

What's going on again?

Shen Yuntang clicked on it and took a look. It turned out that Shen Anguo had inadvertently revealed that the spokesperson Shen Yunhe was actually his daughter. The new product she endorsed was also developed by her in order to help her father solve a problem. She was a genius in making incense.

Shen Yuntang raised his eyebrows and almost laughed out loud at the father and daughter.

It can be seen that they are cannon fodder of the original book. Only they can come up with such a stupid way to stir up popularity.

It really caused a lot of discussion on the Internet. Those who believed it said that it was a bit unexpected that Shen Yunhe was so versatile, while those who did not believe it mocked them for being hypocritical and using other people's works to fuck up Shen Yunhe's personality. More onlookers were curious - how powerful is this new perfume that they praised so much?

If it smelled bad, wouldn't it have been a failure as soon as it was released?

In any case, their popularity has indeed been hyped up in a very outrageous way.

I have to say, being shameless does have some effect.

Just as Gu Lan was about to say something, she saw Shen Yuntang smile gently.

"In three hours, our Extraordinary Perfume Company's GG will begin to be released."

She took a sip of the lemonade in the glass, raised her chin slightly, and said to the person opposite:

"Your comeback starts today."

Gu Lan gradually calmed down and gave her a firm smile in return.

The planned marketing had worked, and Shen Anguo finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although because of this incident, there was no way to use this point for hype in the future, it was worth it to make up for the lost exposure.

As soon as Shen Anguo arrived at the company, he paused and asked his secretary to come over and observe the new ggs that had appeared in the past two days. He would definitely be able to catch who was the one who took his place.

At the same time, many companies in the industry that were competing frantically before the exhibition also began to pay attention to the new gg at the same time. They wanted to see which brand was so crazy.

As people paid attention to it, this clip, which was bound to cause a stir, was first played on a large screen on the exterior wall of a landmark building in a certain place.

In the black background, the sound of heels can be heard.

The light came from the bottom up, slowly revealing her graceful figure.

When the light hit her chin, her footsteps and the light stopped together.

Because of this brief silence, many people passing by in the square raised their heads and took a look.

"You have to be someone they like."

When the slightly hoarse and tired female voice sounded, the ticking sound of the second hand could be heard on the screen, as if time was accelerating.

...this sound?

More people raised their heads in surprise.

Many hands stretched out from the corner of the screen, grabbed her clothes and tore them hard. After the dress on her body was torn into pieces, she turned into a housewife wearing an apron and housework gloves, and the scene suddenly became brighter.

In the camera, a pot and a spoon were pushed out from both sides of the screen and put into the hands of the figure. She suddenly appeared in the kitchen, hurriedly stirring the soup in the pot.

As she brought the soup out of the kitchen and into the living room, many "her" appeared in the camera, ironing clothes, mopping the floor, tidying up the coffee table, and picking up the coat draped over the sofa.

“Copy yourself, paste it into the next scene, and complete their expectations meticulously.”

People in the square began to crowd, stop, and stare at the big screen with a mixture of suspicion and disbelief.

Why does this sound a bit like... No, how come it's so similar?

What video is this?

What's the meaning?

The several "people" who were busy on the screen finally stopped, switched scenes, hurriedly changed clothes, put on makeup in front of the mirror, and then went out to have dinner with a man.

Some people probably understand by now that this is a story about a housewife? She works hard at home and looks unkempt, but when she goes out, she has to dress up beautifully to save face for her husband?

So what is the significance of this video?

The sound continued to be heard on the screen.

"With so many faces, do you ever wonder which one is really you?"

The protagonist in the video stood in front of the bathroom mirror, washing his face with water and staring blankly at the mirror. Although his face was not captured, his emotions were clearly conveyed.

Finally, someone exclaimed in surprise: "Fuck, does this person look like Gu Lan?"

The surroundings, which had fallen into silence due to confusion, suddenly began to stir.

"Gu Lan?"

"Didn't Gu Lan retire? When was this filmed?"

The woman on the screen reached out her hand and touched a bottle of perfume. She continued in a low voice, "Lower your desire, lower it, and lower it again."

The objects in the scene kept changing, and her hand gradually moved from a bottle of exquisite perfume to a jar of salt.

"Would you like to come out?"

The scene suddenly went black.

The ticking of the second hand reappears, this time it rotates counterclockwise.

The figure in the tuxedo that appeared at the beginning reappeared on the screen.

She finally moved on.

“Only by following others through the darkness can you realize that you can see the light on your own.”

She raised her hand and turned on the light.

“Why am I always unwilling to give in? Why am I always tired of seeing the future results?”

“I don’t want to be my own replacement, replicating an identical life for myself who is dying every moment.”

“Unwilling to give up ambition and desire.”

She finally raised her head, the light shone on her face, and the stunning face that was once known to everyone finally appeared on the screen after three years.

When Gu Lan read this line, she was thinking about what Shen Yuntang had said to her.

She had never felt so empathetic before.

The woman on the screen placed the bottle of perfume in her hand on the table in front of her, turned and left, leaving only her voice.

"Because you are unique and extraordinary."
