Chapter 337 - 215: Making You Age Slower

Yong’an Food Co., Ltd.

The general manager’s office.

Li Wuyang and Liu Renming sat facing each other.

Their expressions were grim as they looked at the report on the table.

This week’s market share had dropped by 30%. Feedback from distributors suggested the trend was set to continue, and right now, they had no way to reverse the decline.

"Brother Yang, we have to think of something," Liu Renming said, stating the obvious.

"If I had a solution, I would’ve used it already. I wouldn’t have waited until now."

Li Wuyang had realized the gravity of the problem as soon as the new product hit the market.

But he hadn’t thought too much of it at the time.

In terms of quality, it was indeed better than their own product. But he figured you get what you pay for, so the price would be higher and wouldn’t conflict with their customer base.

But he was dumbfounded when it launched. The selling price was exactly the same as theirs.

Anyone who wasn’t an idiot would know which one to choose.

What he hadn’t expected was for the market feedback to be so strong. In less than a month, they had stolen 30% of Yong’an’s market share.

And that was only because they hadn’t expanded their operations. If they increased their production capacity in the future, Yong’an’s situation would become even more difficult!

"I just don’t get it. How can they produce such high-quality beef at such a low cost? It just doesn’t make sense."

This was the core of the problem. It wasn’t just the two of them; none of Yong’an’s management could figure it out.

"Brother Yang, I don’t think we can take them down through conventional means. We’ll have to try something else."

"Didn’t we send their beef for testing? Have the results come back? Does it meet national standards?"

"It meets all of them. Every indicator is better than ours. Otherwise, I would’ve reported them long ago."

"Fuck!"

Li Wuyang kicked the desk.

The declining market share was upsetting, sure, but what he found even more unacceptable was losing to Lin Jiang several times in a row.

"I’ll talk to our club president tomorrow. Let’s see if he has any ideas."

"The president?"

"The president of our sports car club. We have an event after the car show tomorrow. I’ll talk to him about this."

"Brother Yang, I want to join your supercar club, too. Can you get me in?"

"Your car isn’t quite up to par. You’d need a baby Lambo at the very least."

"But with my family’s finances, buying a baby Lambo would be very difficult."

"You could look for a used one. They’re much cheaper."

"Okay."

...

The next morning, when Lin Jiang got up, Xu Lin had already made breakfast.

She was wearing a black sleeveless top and a pair of colorful silk pants, a very casual, at-home look.

Especially when she bent over, the way her pants clung to her, outlining the triangle of her underwear, reignited Lin Jiang’s desire.

"Go wash up. Breakfast is ready."

"No rush. We can eat later."

Lin Jiang walked over, swept Xu Lin up by the waist, and placed her on the sofa.

In that instant, Xu Lin’s body went soft.

"You little rascal, I think you’re just trying to wear me out completely."

Lin Jiang spanned Xu Lin’s waist with his hands.

"It’s good for your figure. Haven’t you noticed? Your waist is already paper-thin."

"I’ve noticed too. I’ve really lost a lot of weight. It’s the first time I’ve heard that... this... can help you lose weight."

"It has even more amazing effects. Want to try them? It can slow down aging."

"That part I know. Being... ’nourished’ by a man and not being ’nourished’ are two different things. There’s a scientific basis for that."

"No, no, no. I’m not just talking about that."

"Oh? What else?"

"You can use it as a facial mask. The effect is even better."

"I see you’re just trying to be naughty, don’t think I don’t know," Xu Lin said. "You don’t need to make excuses with me. I’ll satisfy you."

"It’s not an excuse. You’ll know once you try it."

...

Over an hour later, Lin Jiang finished his ’battle’ on the sofa.

"You scamp, you made such a mess. I washed my face for nothing, now I have to wash it again."

Saying this, Xu Lin started toward the bathroom.

"Don’t wash it off. Leave it for a while, or it won’t have any effect."

"I think you’re just being wicked."

She said that, but she stopped in her tracks.

"I’m going to use the restroom first. You should go wash your face and eat."

"Okay."

After a quick wash, Lin Jiang noticed the food on the table was a little cold, but he didn’t mind and took a casual bite.

"I’ve got something to do, so I have to go."

"Go on, get to your business."

Lin Jiang didn’t linger at Xu Lin’s place. He got dressed and left.

He had plans to go to a car show with Qin Youyou today, and it was almost time.

Just as he drove to the entrance of Qin Youyou’s residential complex, a game notification appeared.

[Mission Complete (Business Expansion): Reward - Delicious Hot Pot Base Recipe, 40 EXP]

’Yang Tao sure is fast. The contract’s already signed.’

Soon, he received a message from Yang Tao.

He informed Lin Jiang about the contract signing.

After finishing their business, Lin Jiang opened his attribute panel.
