"Is... is this me?"

After a while, Murong Qingqing collected herself and asked in astonishment!

Normally, Murong Qingqing took great care of her skin, but due to the constant exposure to spotlights, her skin had suffered slightly.

Now, that weathered look had completely disappeared!

Her entire skin had regained the tenderness of a baby's!

After unconsciously touching her face, she felt that silk-like smoothness!

"Is... is this really me?"

After touching her face again, Murong Qingqing still found it hard to believe!

Hearing Murong Qingqing's incredulous remark, Song Xue'er burst into laughter!

Soon, a joyful Song Xue'er approached Murong Qingqing and softly said, "Sister Qingqing, no! I should call you Qingqing sister now!"

Shyly blushing at the tease, Murong Qingqing glanced at her and muttered, "What are you talking about!"

Seeing her bashful and adorable look, Song Xue'er giggled and said, "Sister Qingqing, I'm telling the truth! Your skin is even better than mine now! If we went out together now, everyone would think you are my younger sister!"

"Nonsense!"

After saying this, she looked at herself in the mirror again.

She discovered that her skin had indeed improved several times over!

While admiring it, she looked at Hu Xiaobei tenderly and asked shyly, "Xiaobei brother, has my skin really improved?"

After nodding vigorously, Hu Xiaobei whispered, "Yes, Sister Qingqing, it really has improved a lot!"

Hearing such praise from Hu Xiaobei, Murong Qingqing smiled radiantly!

In that moment, she revealed an even more perfect side of herself, which left Hu Xiaobei utterly enchanted...

As Hu Xiaobei was dazed, he heard footsteps, looked up, and saw Song Xue'er quickly approaching him!

"What's wrong, Xue'er sister?"

"Xiaobei brother, quickly apply some on me too, I want it!"

Hearing her eager request, Hu Xiaobei teased, "Of course, that's no problem, but it seems like someone didn't believe in the efficacy of this mud mask earlier!"

"I didn't! I..."

Song Xue'er hadn't finished speaking when she heard noisy voices from outside!

The next moment, Song Xue'er looked outside and frowned instantly!

Because she realized that the people arriving were former partners of her pharmaceutical factory!

"They must be here to discuss terminating the contract!"

Thinking this, Song Xue'er sighed!

Feeling a bit lost, Hu Xiaobei came to Song Xue'er's side and whispered softly, "Don't be afraid, Xue'er sister! Go ahead and handle it, if the sky falls, I'll support you!"

"Okay!"

After nodding vigorously, she smoothed her hair and walked forward calmly!

Hu Xiaobei and Murong Qingqing smiled and quickly followed…

...

"A lot of people have come; it seems Haifeng Group has really invested quite a lot this time!"

After walking over with Song Xue'er, Hu Xiaobei slightly squinted his eyes!

While thinking about what offer Haifeng Group had used to sway them, Hu Xiaobei heard someone impatiently speaking up!

"Song Xue'er, you're really struggling too much! Just sign the termination contract already!"

"Yes! We know it's not nice to terminate the contract, but we are willing to pay the penalty. What else are you unsatisfied with?"

"Exactly, exactly!"

Upon hearing their impatient responses, Song Xue'er took a deep breath and spoke, "Uncles, Uncle, how many years had you worked with the pharmaceutical factory before! I really don't want to terminate our contract! I know someone has offered you a higher return now, but I still hope you will stay!"

As she reached this point, Song Xue'er paused briefly, then eagerly continued, "Our pharmaceutical factory will soon develop a new drug! When that time comes, as agents of this new drug, you will definitely make money!"

Upon hearing Song Xue'er mention the new drug, their faces showed outright scorn!

They knew the so-called new drug Song Xue'er was talking about was nonsense, just pie in the sky!

It takes years or even longer for a major pharmaceutical factory to develop a new drug!

So never mind Song Xue'er's small factory!

Simply put, even if Song Xue'er were given enough time, she could never develop it, as research requires considerable funding, which Song Xue'er utterly lacks!

Thinking thus, they scoffed, "Stop talking nonsense! Researching a new drug? If you had the capability, you would have done it long ago!"

"Exactly!"

"Right!"

Hearing their disbelief, Song Xue'er became anxious, "But the new drug really can be produced very soon!"

Hearing Song Xue'er still talk about the new drug, they waved their hands dismissively!

One of them sneered, "Stop wasting words, we don't believe you! To tell you the truth, the reason we are no longer collaborating with you is that Japan's Haifeng Group has approached us for a partnership! They will provide us with better pharmaceutical products and more satisfactory prices! So, even if you argue till you are blue in the face, we definitely won't work with you anymore!"

"That's right! We aren't going to collaborate with you again!"

"Yes!"

Hearing such resolute words, Song Xue'er sighed!

At that moment, Song Xue'er realized that they were fully committed to their decision!

Taking a deep breath, Song Xue'er, with a somewhat hoarse voice, asked, "Is everyone terminating the contract?"

After making this inquiry, Song Xue'er watched them…

Soon, Song Xue'er saw several elderly men slowly walk out from the crowd…

Seeing them come forward, Song Xue'er quickly went over to help them.

Song Xue'er recognized them, knowing they were her grandfather Song Feng's good friends!

"Gentlemen, are you also terminating the contracts? If so, I will handle it immediately for you, and I won't even require a termination fee!"

Song Xue'er had received much care from them since she was young, so she felt a genuine closeness to them!

Hearing Song Xue'er's words, they waved their hands!

"Ha ha, what are you talking about! We still want to see your pharmaceutical factory do better and better!"

"That's right! We aren't terminating our contracts!"

"Yes, otherwise your grandfather would probably scold us to death!"

Hearing this, Song Xue'er was moved to tears…

…

"Ah, such deep affection and earnest feelings! But stop playing the sympathy card here, I'm not in the mood to watch; terminate my contract now!"

Seeing them stir such emotions in front of him, a bulky man weighing over four hundred pounds, his face covered with fleshy folds, sneered!

This bulky man was named Lei Ding, one of the strongest collaborators working with Song Xue'er!

Before Song Xue'er could speak, the elderly men spoke first!

"Lei Ding, you were financially strapped before, and it was Xue'er who lent you money to get you through; isn't it inappropriate for you to demand termination now?"

Hearing this, Lei Ding sneered contemptuously, "What's inappropriate about it? People seek higher grounds! She was foolish to lend me money to help me through tough times; did I ever beg her for it?"

"You…"

Hearing this shameless response, the elderly men almost fainted from anger!

They truly had not expected such a brazenly shameless person to exist in the world…
