Chapter 27 Friends.
The next day, Lu Xia was not too surprised when she received the invitation to Prince Li Mang's 40th birthday from Duke Leslie. After all, she didn't know Prince Li Mang, so he wouldn't send her an invitation.
Presumably, Duke Leslie used his connections to ask for this invitation for her, and she remembered this favor.
Because she still had to go to Courtyard No. 1, Lu Xia was ready to leave after breakfast, but before she left, Grace took her coat and put it on her: "It's getting colder today, and it may rain, don't catch a cold."
The man suddenly approached with a familiar breath.
In the past few days, the two of them had contact every night. To the touch of the man, her body seemed to have an instinctive reaction and became particularly sensitive.
After putting clothes on Lu Xia, she looked up and noticed that the little female's cheeks were a little red. Grace asked involuntarily: "What's wrong, why is your face so red?"
Lu Xia turned around to cover up: "It's okay, I'll leave first."
After the voice fell, she hurriedly left with the old housekeeper. Grace stood there, silent for a while, and curled the corners of her lips.
When Lu Xia arrived at Courtyard No. 1, she received good news from the hair growth liquid research laboratory. They finally succeeded in developing it. Although they were far behind the progress of the beauty cream, they did not fail after all.
The hair growth liquid was successfully developed, and the old housekeeper knew what to arrange for the next process without Lu Xia's special explanation.
Lu Xia also gave all the researchers in the hair growth liquid team a holiday and allowed them to travel with pay.
Just when Lu Xia was busy with the hair growth liquid test and the preparation for the launch of the beauty cream, it was Prince Li Mang's birthday.
That night, Lu Xia attended Prince Li Mang's birthday dinner with Duke Leslie.
Due to Prince Li Mang's status, many people came to the dinner. Duke Leslie obviously often attended such banquets and was well aware of this.
She took Lu Xia to the banquet hall and met many people.
Many people had heard of Duke Lu Xia, but it was the first time they had actually seen her.
Those who had seen her did not expect that she was so young and beautiful.
This time, Lu Xia and Duke Leslie did not bring a male companion.
In such occasions, only the husband can attend with the mistress. However, Lu Xia did not bring Grace with her not because of his inappropriate status, but simply because she did not want to. She came here tonight to make connections, and she might not be able to take care of Grace if she brought him.
Rather than letting him suffer discrimination here alone, it would be more comfortable for him to stay at home.
At this time, the protagonist of the dinner finally appeared. Prince Li Mang came down the stairs in a grand dress. Lu Xia and Duke Leslie applauded to welcome him.
However, as Prince Li Mang approached, Lu Xia noticed that her hair was unnatural, like a wig.
This surprised Lu Xia.
But it is not difficult to understand. Some people simply like to wear wigs. They think wigs are very convenient. They don't have to take care of their own hair and can have a good-looking hairstyle.
She thought that Prince Li Mang might be like this, and she didn't think much.
As soon as Prince Li Mang appeared, many people immediately surrounded him to chat and greet him. Lu Xia and Duke Leslie did not rush forward, but stood aside and said, "Is the beauty cream about to be launched?"
"It will be officially released the day after tomorrow, and we will need your support then."
"Of course, your beauty cream is so good. I am not worried that you can't sell it now, but I am worried that I won't be able to buy it in the future. If I really can't get it by then, I will ask you for help through the back door."
"You're joking. How can I let you snatch it away? I will naturally offer it to you with both hands."
"You are really good at talking." Every time Duke Leslie got along with Lu Xia, he liked her a little more. He felt that this little female was very soothing in her words and deeds.
While the two were talking, Prince Li Mang, who had just finished entertaining other people, suddenly came over and said, "I guess this is Duke Lu Xia, right?"
Unexpectedly, Prince Li Mang would suddenly come to say hello. Lu Xia immediately said in a respectful tone, "Yes, I am. It is my honor to be invited here today. Your Excellency, I wish you a happy birthday."
"I am also very happy that you can come. The beauty cream of No. 1 Courtyard is thanks to Duke Leslie. After using it, I feel it is very useful
. Duke Lu Xia is really young and promising."
Lu Xia had heard Duke Leslie talk about this before she came, so she was not surprised at this moment. She smiled and said, "It is the greatest support for our No. 1 Courtyard that you like it."
"You don't need to be modest. Good products will definitely be loved by people. I believe they will sell well after they are launched on the market. If you need anything in the future, just come to me." These days, after using the beauty cream, although the scar on her head has not been completely removed,
it has healed for the most part. It is only a matter of time before it is healed, which also makes her feel much better.
In this regard, she is willing to give Lu Xia, the little female who just inherited the title, a little help.
Lu Xia came here for the same reason. To get the personal promise from Prince Li Mang, Lu Xia was very happy that this trip was not in vain.
"By the way, does No. 1 Courtyard have other products besides this beauty cream?" Prince Li Mang asked casually.
Lu Xia did not hide it when she heard it, and smiled and replied: "We also have a hair growth liquid, which has been successfully developed, but we are still in the stage of recruiting volunteers for trial, and it is still a long way from being put on the market."
Lu Xia said it simply, but it sounded different to Prince Li Mang. She didn't show it on her face, but her heart was beating wildly. Hair growth liquid, it turned out to be hair growth liquid.
If she didn't know very well that not many people knew about her hair loss, she would have suspected that Lu Xia had developed it specifically for her.
Thinking of this, she pretended to be natural and asked: "Why did you think of developing a hair growth liquid?"
"Thinking that the social pressure is so great nowadays, everyone should have some hair loss troubles, so I developed a hair growth liquid so that people who have this trouble will no longer have this trouble in the future."
This sentence really touched Prince Li Mang's heart. She had this trouble, and she knew this trouble too well!
She wanted to sign up as a volunteer for Lu Xia No. 1 Courtyard and try the hair growth liquid that Lu Xia mentioned right away.
But she was still rational and did not say such words directly, which would be a loss of status. Instead, she said: "Are you still recruiting volunteers? I have a friend who has just had this trouble recently. I wonder if I can still sign up."
Suddenly hearing "I have a friend", Lu Xia's heart trembled slightly. Could this friend be Prince Li Mang himself?
After all, those who understand know that "I have a friend" = "myself"
Lu Xia glanced at the wig on Duke Li Mang's head without leaving a trace, and became more and more certain that this friend was Duke Li Mang himself.
It's just that the other party was obviously embarrassed to say it directly.
"Since he is your friend, how can you ask him to be a volunteer if you need him? I will have someone send the hair growth liquid to you tomorrow."
