The Domineering Older Man Snatches His Cold And Aloof Wife - Chapter 6

Lou Qingshuang and Bai Wan, who had suddenly received a cooperation invitation, were completely bewildered. At this moment, they still had no idea who Xinyu Cosmetics Company truly belonged to.

Liu Yu wanted Lou Qingshuang to take this bite of the invitation, and she wanted her to bite into it firmly.

Lou Qingshuang looked at the online comments regarding the invitation:

“Is Xinyu crazy? To actually cooperate with WanShuang!”

“I trust Xinyu’s vision. Their products are constantly innovating without any nonsense. Their things are durable and the prices are consumer-friendly.”

“Since Xinyu has extended an invitation, it proves that there’s nothing wrong with Wanshuang Company!”

“Isn’t this just another wave of commercial warfare? Crushing an old-brand company like Lan Dai to completely monopolize the market.”

“The person upstairs, do you even know what a monopoly is? How big is the cosmetics market share right now? How many people are squeezing into it? Old-brand companies nowadays can’t completely monopolize a market at all. There are so many copycat alternatives to Xinyu.”

“I am waiting for Wanshuang to produce substantive evidence, rather than relying on some big company to whitewash them.”

“Me too, waiting for this company to bring out real evidence to prove themselves.”

Lou Qingshuang continued to scroll down. The comments above were still considered restrained, but moving further down, the comments became highly polarized, filled with all kinds of bickering.

She watched for a good while, still unable to understand why the Xinyu Group had suddenly decided to cooperate with them.

Now, Xinyu Group’s invitation once again stirred up the plagiarism controversy that netizens had already grown visually fatigued of, and it even showed signs of intensifying.

Some people even dug up the past blunders of both companies. In particular, a lot of Lan Dai’s dark history was exposed, and the number of people speaking up for Wanshuang began to increase. However, the anti-fans attacked even harder, so hard that it reached a point where whoever spoke up for Wanshuang was labeled a “plagiarizing dog.”

Bai Wan and Qin Nan’s hard work seemed to have been thrown down the drain. Right now, they were overjoyed on one hand as they negotiated with Xinyu Group’s people, while on the other hand, they were anxiously fighting a public relations war with Lan Dai. Along with the online hype, everything had turned into a total mess.

Lan Dai was also getting a bit panicked. They were urgently discussing counterstrategies. Were they really going to clash with Xinyu?

Who could hold out against Xinyu?

Everyone looked at each other in dismay. Lan Dai had been on a downward slope these past few years, they couldn’t develop new products, and their market share was gradually shrinking.

If things continued this way, it wasn’t impossible for Lan Dai to vanish from this market entirely.

Therefore, they had to change, they had to innovate. If they didn’t have it themselves, they would take it from someone else.

“We’ve already come this far. If we take even a single step back, the online public opinion and the consumers will immediately turn around and crush us to death,” the Chairman of Lan Dai, sitting at the head of the table, said to everyone.

She was old, but her ambition had never stopped.

The business world was originally full of mutual deception. A thing like conscience depended on the timing, it could exist, or it could not.

The others sitting below the long conference table were also pondering over this matter.

“Chairman, what do you think we should do about this?” A balding male Beta sitting at the very end of the table had an expression that completely deferred to the Chairman.

The Chairman of Lan Dai Group closed her eyes and rested her hand on the armrest of her chair without saying a word.

She had made it clear that she wanted this group of people to deliberate. These people were all part of the company’s management, and since they were paid such high salaries, they had to give her a perfect and feasible plan.

Lan Dai’s public relations department was frantically deliberating, while simultaneously hinting to various major influencers and uploaders with millions of followers to say ambiguous words to guide everyone’s line of sight.

The final decision pinned down was for Lan Dai to clash head-on with Xinyu, showing their resistance against Xinyu’s cooperation with Wanshuang, thereby shaping an unyielding and indomitable image.

They wanted to stomp to death the fact that Wanshuang was a plagiarist, making sure everyone knew about it.

“This Lan Dai is truly a mad dog.” A frazzled Bai Wan walked in together with Qin Nan, both of their expressions looking very unsightly.

“LanDai has filed a lawsuit against us,” Lou Qingshuang delivered even worse news.

She had instructed her lawyer to sue Lan Dai, but according to the message sent back by the lawyer, Lan Dai’s side had already sued first.

It was mainly because they had spent too much time organizing their data, unlike Lan Dai, who had come fully prepared, directly holding a live grenade.

“My experimental data and files have already been sent to both of your hands. You two can see to it and post them on the official Weibo.” Lou Qingshuang hadn’t slept for two days and one night, and her temples were currently throbbing with pain.

Bai Wan and Qin Nan looked delighted and said to Lou Qingshuang, “Then Qingshuang, you go back and rest first. Leave the rest to Qin Nan and me.”

“Okay.” Lou Qingshuang rubbed her swollen temples, her eyes so dry that she could barely keep them open.

Qin Nan was a female Omega in her forties. She had a stern face, but seeing Lou Qingshuang’s exhaustion at this moment, her facial features softened as well. “President Lou, go back and rest. The rest is a battle for Bai Wan and me.”

Lou Qingshuang nodded sleepily. She took her car keys and phone and headed home.

Lou Qingshuang walked to the garage. The moment she got back into her car, she wanted to sleep. But thinking of her mother, she didn’t feel at ease, as she hadn’t been home for two days.

Lou Qingshuang started the car, drove out of the garage, and merged into the traffic flow like a swimming fish.

“Ah.” Lou Qingshuang couldn’t help but yawn, tears welling up in her eyes. She turned the steering wheel and merged into another lane. That lane wasn’t as crowded, and she could also pick up some food to bring back for her mother to eat.

“Chairman Liu, next time we discuss cooperation, we can meet here again.” An elegant and moving lady extended her hand toward Liu Yu. Her face was exquisite and beautiful, and her blue eyes carried a kind and gentle warmth.

“Alright.” A smile that felt like a spring breeze appeared on Liu Yu’s face, all the sharp edges on her countenance vanishing completely.

She watched the elegant lady leave, and her driver slowly glided the car over. Liu Yu opened the car door and got in.

Right at this moment, Lou Qingshuang backed up her car and crashed into Liu Yu’s car.

With a loud thud, Liu Yu sat in the car without moving, while the driver had already gotten out to check.

It just so happened that Zhu Yan arrived, carrying the packaged cake she was taking back. At a glance, she recognized Lou Qingshuang, who was currently talking to the driver.

She raised an eyebrow, what a coincidence.

Knock, knock. Zhu Yan tapped on the glass window. Liu Yu pressed the switch, and the car window slowly rolled down. She looked in the direction Zhu Yan’s finger was pointing, her eyes shifting slightly.

“The car was hit. I see that Miss Lou looks very exhausted,” Zhu Yan added casually.

Lou Qingshuang was indeed very exhausted. Anyone could see her fatigue, the dark circles under her eyes and her haggard face. She had already agreed with the driver to go through insurance for the compensation.

Liu Yu looked at Lou Qingshuang, and only after a moment did she say, “Go send her off, then take a taxi back to the Group.”

“Understood, Chairman.” Zhu Yan put down the small cake and walked over to Lou Qingshuang’s side.

“Ms. Lou, do you need help?” Zhu Yan asked softly.

Lou Qingshuang shook her head. She recognized this person. Liu Yu’s assistant. Her gaze subconsciously fell upon the closed car window. Could this be Liu Yu’s car?

Lou Qingshuang felt even more tired. She rubbed the space between her eyebrows. “I have already settled it with this lady. Everything will go through insurance. For any amount the insurance doesn’t cover, I will pay for it.”

“The Chairman said it’s not necessary. It’s just a small matter, there’s no need to take up specific time to handle it. After all, you must be very busy lately,” Zhu Yan said very considerately.

Who would have thought that Lou Qingshuang’s face would turn even more unsightly. With a cold expression, she refused, “I will pay however much it costs. My assistant will contact you later.”

Zhu Yan nodded, not probing further. “Alright then, please take care on your way. You can call a car to go back.”

Looking at Zhu Yan’s concerned gaze, Lou Qingshuang nodded, accepting her kindness.

Then, Lou Qingshuang watched the car drive away, yet she felt as though someone was watching her.
