Urban Most Awesome Dad

Chapter 542: Chapter 542: Like Drinking Water_1 Chapter 542: Chapter 542: Like Drinking Water_1 Within half an hour, Chen Shiyu’s microblog was almost blown up.

Countless people crowded in, commenting and discussing hotly, leaving messages like snowflakes.

Among them, a wide-ranging and intense debate was sparked, with more people thinking Chen Shiyu had become a water gun for capital, spraying water wherever they directed, completely disregarding her image and misleading consumers without considering the consequences.

As for how many of these angry passersby were genuinely upset and how many were internet trolls driven by capital, only heaven knew.

At first, Chen Shiyu’s loyal fans were still arguing their case stubbornly, resisting to the last.

However, in that countless sea of comments, their words were like a pebble tossed into the ocean, unable to stir any waves, even being completely ignored.

There was no helping it; the criticisms and insults were too many, nearly drowning Chen Shiyu’s microblog.

Chen Shiyu wisely chose to turn a blind eye and stick to her guns, firmly stating her position with a pinned microblog post: “All sights, sounds, and scents are but subjective; my heart remains unaffected, and so does its essence.”
Which meant, everyone has their views on every matter in the world, but it will not change the nature of things, nor will it sway my stance.

Amidst this overwhelming sea of questions and insults, Yifan Beauty Company was not affected, still preparing for the regular production and release of the first batch of products.

Ten thousand bottles of Sun and Moon Nourishing Lotion, a thousand bottles of Miraculous Skin Cream, and a hundred Youth Preserving Elixirs.

The production of the standard versions of the three products was also not neglected.

Of course, they did not forget about the limited-edition sets either.

The standard versions and limited-edition sets would wait until the first batch of products received positive feedback before release, which would then attract swarms of consumers.

After all, the real fragrance principle applies to most people in this world.

Core members of the Qingyun Sect and Night Castle had been arranged to the production area of Yifan Beauty Company, with Ah Hua and Zhao Dong each leading a team, undertaking very important security work.

Xu Fan was unaware of the public uproar this had caused, focusing only on technological development while also relishing in the joyous routine of being a new dad and Xu Yixue’s gentle compassion.

When he had free time, he would visit the War Wolf Squad training base to offer guidance or go to Mount Longshou to inspect the training achievements of the security team, living a particularly comfortable life.

In the blink of an eye, three days later, Yifan Beauty Company released their first batch of products on schedule.

…

Inside a high-end villa complex in Zhonghai City.

A portly woman, exuding an air of elegance, was applying a face mask while making a phone call.

The woman was at that ferocious age of forty, and despite her meticulous care, she couldn’t combat the relentless flow of time.

Youth was slipping away, and her beauty was fading.

At some unknown point, unsightly crow’s feet had crept around her eyes, and her skin was no longer as firm and elastic.

What was particularly vexing were the spots that had uninvitedly settled and rooted themselves on her face.

Even with daily applications of expensive cosmetics smeared across her face, she couldn’t achieve a flawless appearance.

The woman’s name was Liu Yuyun.

As the largest clothing merchant in Zhonghai City, her business journey had been legendary.

Over the past twenty or so years, she had transformed a small clothing store into a massive branded clothing chain, established companies, made a name for the brand, and gained some fame across Yan Country.

As a result, Liu Yuyun became a well-known businesswoman in Zhonghai, possessing a fortune of several billion.

However, even the wealthiest fall to time.

On the surface, Liu Yuyun was decisive and domineering, seemingly quite glorious.

But when alone, she often felt dejected and heartbroken.

As a woman, especially one who was once known for her striking beauty, although her prime had passed, she still yearned for her beauty to remain.

Yet time continued to rob her of her loveliness.

This is a cruel and indisputable fact.

However, today Liu Yuyun’s mood had improved a lot, so much so that she was excited like a little girl.

The reason was simple: she had learned that Yifan Beauty Company, which had just been established in recent days, was going to launch a Youth Preserving Elixir today.

Its effects were so miraculous, they caused astonishment and longing, purportedly turning back the clock on youth, restoring one’s former beauty, and making the skin lively and lustrous once again.

Normally she would never believe such false advertising, but being both vain and wealthy, she couldn’t resist the temptation to give it a try.

After all, one should always have dreams; what if they came true?

So this morning, she got up early and instructed her secretary to buy her a Youth Preserving Elixir and, by the way, another ten bottles of Sun and Moon Nourishing Lotion, since she naturally couldn’t neglect her everyday skincare routine.

Her secretary, fully aware of her intentions, made it a top priority and hastily set about making the arrangements.

…

In the southeastern part of Longhu Province, an area thriving with commerce and dotted with wealthy business magnates.

One of these magnates, a middle-aged man with a slightly balding head, who had made his fortune selling leather shoes and who dressed like a nouveau riche—generous and extravagant, with a gold chain, a gold wristwatch, and six diamond and gold rings adorning his fingers—was currently on his phone, asking a friend in Zhonghai City to buy him a bottle of Miraculous Skin Cream, ten bottles of Sun and Moon Nourishing Lotion, and a Youth Preserving Elixir.

All of these were for his wife.

The middle-aged magnate had a keen business acumen, mastered the art of commerce, and so his business flourished, and naturally, his wealth grew as well.

Even more admirable was that he was loving and respectful toward his wife, reputed for his fidelity.

Despite being so rich he could never spend it all in this lifetime, he never strayed physically and remained devoted to his wife of many years.

His wife had struggled alongside him when they were young and later bore him three children.

After resigning from work, she dedicated herself wholeheartedly to raising and taking care of their kids at home.

Therefore, although she was not yet forty, she looked to be in her fifties, and at this point, the effects of skincare were minimal; it was too late.

However, when he heard that a beauty company in Zhonghai City was launching three miraculous products, he didn’t hesitate and was immediately tempted.

Money, after all, is meant to be spent.

And spending it on his own wife felt damn comforting and a source of pride.

…

In an exquisite villa by the Pujiang River in Zhonghai.

A middle-aged man, with a face full of anticipation, knocked on his daughter’s bedroom door, holding a bottle of Miraculous Skin Cream as if it were a treasured possession.

His daughter was not yet twenty, slender and graceful, with a clear and beautiful appearance, truly a stunning beauty.

Yet the hair that flowed loosely over her shoulders obscured the left side of her face, which bore a twisted and horrifying scar, completely marring her beauty and causing the girl to hide in her room all day, too afraid to meet people and even tormenting herself with suicidal thoughts due to her low self-esteem.

As parents, they were naturally heartbroken and worried, and in an effort to help their daughter, they took her to many places for treatment.

But the scar was deeply entrenched in her flesh, and full recovery was exceedingly difficult.

Thus, removing the scar became the father’s agonizing obsession, and even if hope seemed slim, he was prepared to try anything.

And recently, after learning about the products introduced by Yifan Beauty Company, her father’s hope was reignited, and he spared no expense to stand in line to purchase them, eager for the advertising promises to come true—for his daughter’s skin to be reborn, for her beauty to be remolded…

Such incidents were happening everywhere.

Despite the general public’s skepticism towards the three products from Yifan Beauty Company, expressing strong doubts, this did not stop people from approaching with a mentality of giving it a try…
