With Wang Yuyan's help, Hong Yan Co., Ltd. was quickly established and soon got on track.
Qin Xuan alone provided fifty million yuan in registered capital for her.
Tantai Yue also did not expect Qin Xuan to come up with fifty million yuan so readily! Coupled with Wang Yuyan of Wang's Group's fifty million investment, this gave Tantai Yue even greater confidence.
In the evening, Qin Xuan, Wang Yuyan, and Tantai Yue prepared to celebrate.
They had originally planned to cook at home, but Tantai Yue knew her parents' nature and decided to eat out.
Wang Yuyan led the two to the entrance of a hotel. Tantai Yue looked up at the hotel's name.
Jiang Lin Tian Xia.
She couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Qin Xuan, how about we go somewhere else? This place seems a bit expensive."
Jiang Lin Tian Xia Grand Hotel was a well-known five-star hotel in Jiangbei.
It was a notch above Piaoxiang Yulou.
Piaoxiang Yulou was merely a five-star establishment in Jiangbei City, whereas Jiang Lin Tian Xia was a national five-star hotel.
Even though both were five-star, the difference was not insignificant.
Tantai Yue knew that starting a company had cost a lot of money, and a meal here would likely cost tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands.
In reality, Tantai Yue had no idea that Qin Xuan's current bank balance was enough for her to start another company. The two hundred million from Wang Youhai and Dan Bende had given Tantai Yue fifty million, leaving another one hundred and fifty million.
Qin Xuan smiled and said,
"It's alright, Tantai. It's just a meal. Aren't we celebrating the establishment of the company? We should definitely eat well."
"But..."
"That's enough from you two! You're ganging up on me, bullying this single dog?" Wang Yuyan, who couldn't stand it any longer, interrupted Tantai Yue,
"I'll treat you, alright?"
"That's very kind of you," Qin Xuan said, scratching the back of his head with a smile.
Wang Yuyan rolled her eyes.
"I think you're quite happy to accept." As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Yuyan's beautiful eyes blinked again, and she suddenly added,
"If you're really embarrassed, then give me a few of those various pills of yours."
After spending some time together, Wang Yuyan had come to know Qin Xuan's extraordinary nature.
The changes in Dan Bende and Wang Youhai after taking the pills Qin Xuan gave them, and her own experience with the youth-preserving pill last time, although there were no obvious external changes, Wang Yuyan felt her skin had improved considerably, and she started coveting Qin Xuan's pills again.
"What pills?" Wang Yuyan asked Qin Xuan curiously.
"Ah!" Qin Xuan quickly glared at Wang Yuyan and then shook his head,
"It's nothing. Let's go eat first."
Upon entering the hotel, Wang Yuyan presented her membership card, and the waiter directly led the three to the VIP section.
Wang Yuyan was not polite; since she was treating, she ordered a large spread.
As soon as she finished ordering, Wang Yuyan asked Qin Xuan,
"By the way, Qin Xuan, do you have any way to enhance the effectiveness of skincare products?"
"Enhance the effectiveness of skincare products?"
"Yes," Wang Yuyan nodded,
"Yue'er's company primarily deals in skincare products. The formulas I got from the group, although the brand name has changed, the products made have similar effects to the cosmetics from companies under the group. So, in terms of branding, I'm afraid it will be difficult to promote."
This was also what Tantai Yue was worried about.
After all, if the products were the same, why would people buy from a small company instead of the established brands from Wang's Group?
Furthermore, although Hong Yan Company had Wang Yuyan's shares, it was not a subsidiary of Wang's Group, so the group would naturally not help Hong Yan Company promote its products.
Qin Xuan stroked his chin and pondered.
He remembered quite a few pill formulas related to health and beauty.
For instance, among the youth-preserving pills he had given Wang Yuyan, several medicinal ingredients could nourish the skin.
If these medicinal ingredients were used alone, although the effect would not be as good as the youth-preserving pill, adding them to skincare products should significantly enhance their effectiveness.
Qin Xuan initially did not want to reveal these things to the public, as even the lowest-grade pill would likely be priceless in this urban setting.
However, for his wife's career, Qin Xuan nodded in agreement.
"I have a way. I'll give you a list later. Add the medicinal ingredients on the list to the skincare products in the order specified. It should enhance the effectiveness of the products."
"Really?" The eyes of both women lit up.
Qin Xuan nodded.
Then, he asked Wang Yuyan to take out a pen and paper and wrote down several medicinal ingredients.
Wang Yuyan and Tantai Yue looked at the list with slight surprise.
"Qin Xuan, are you sure these medicinal ingredients can improve the effectiveness of skincare products?" Wang Yuyan asked, pointing at the list with some doubt.
"Blood circulation grass, large maple seed kernel..."
Qin Xuan chuckled,
"Whether it improves the effectiveness or not, you'll know if you take it back and try it, won't you?"
Tantai Yue looked at Qin Xuan's cheek and blinked her eyes, asking,
"Qin Xuan, how do you know that adding medicinal herbs to skincare products can improve their effectiveness?"
"This..." Tantai Yue's question stumped Qin Xuan.
For a moment, he didn't know how to answer. He couldn't exactly tell her that he fell into a river, and his brain suddenly awakened, making him knowledgeable about everything under the heavens.
Seeing Qin Xuan momentarily speechless, Wang Yuyan, knowing his unusual nature, quickly changed the subject,
"Alright, alright, let's eat first. The food will be here soon, I'm starving."
Although Tantai Yue was a bit suspicious, she didn't overthink it. After all, from the time Qin Xuan caught her from a height of more than ten stories, Tantai Yue knew that Qin Xuan was somehow different.
After the meal, Tantai Yue took the initiative to pay the bill, and coincidentally, an old acquaintance was also settling his bill.
"Tantai Yue?" Jin Shikai had just paid his bill and retrieved his bank card when he saw Tantai Yue also approaching the front desk to pay, and he couldn't help but sneer.
"Tantai Yue, what are you doing here?"
Tantai Yue also did not expect to run into the person she least wanted to see while having a meal.
"This is a place to eat, why can't I be here?" Tantai Yue did not give Jin Shikai a pleasant look either.
After all, this scoundrel had almost caused her and Qin Xuan to be separated by death before.
Seeing Tantai Yue's icy demeanor, Jin Shikai clenched his fists, suppressing the anger in his heart.
"Tantai Yue, let me tell you, don't think you're something just because you've started a small company. My Jin Group can crush you as easily as stepping on an ant."
In the past, at the Tan family, Tantai Yue was constrained by the family and thus constantly restrained.
Now that she had broken away from the family, although her company was small, Tantai Yue was not afraid of Jin Shikai at all.
Ignoring Jin Shikai's threats, she turned around, paid the bill, and prepared to leave.
Seeing Tantai Yue completely ignore him, Jin Shikai's anger intensified. He directly grabbed Tantai Yue's arm,
"You slut, what are you pretending for? Qin Xuan, that little bastard, isn't here tonight, is he? I'll have you tonight, let's see if you'll still pretend in bed."
Seeing that Tantai Yue was alone, Jin Shikai became instantly presumptuous.
"What are you doing!" Tantai Yue was grabbed and quickly shook her arm, trying to break free, but a woman's strength was no match for a man's.
"Let go of me!"
"Hmph, you bitch, wait until we're in bed and I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"
Saying that, he dragged Tantai Yue towards the hotel exit.
"Let go of me! Let go of me!"
