The Mightiest Little Peasant

Chapter 170: Bingji Beauty Cream

A red sports car sped toward Spring River Plaza and attracted many envious eyes along the way.

A cool and flashy sports car like that would be extremely eye-catching no matter where it went.

Then, the sports car stopped. A car door opened, and a boy in a white button-down shirt stepped out of it.

Everyone was shocked when they saw who he was.

The boy was none other than the president of Haotian Co. Ltd. Many people who worked in the area knew his identity ever since the incident that day.

What was more surprising to them was that the young president had always traveled solo on a little three-wheeled motorcycle. Today, the three-wheeled motorcycle was nowhere to be seen.

Then, they turned their eyes toward the sports car and gasped audibly when they saw the beautiful woman in the driver seat.

The men who saw her were incredibly envious.

Many people from Haotian Co. Ltd. were pointing at the car and gossiping.

Tang Hao held a bag in his hand. He waved toward Qin Xiangyi, and after the car drove off, he turned around and walked into the building.

Han Yutong was already waiting for him in the company.

“Good morning, President Tang. President Liu, President Li, and the others are already in the meeting room. Sis Yan is there too,” Han Yutong said.

She was still in her usual office wear but her appearance looked somewhat different. She seemed to have spent more time on her personal grooming which made her look more attractive. Tang Hao was surprised when he looked at her.

Han Yutong blushed when she saw Tang Hao staring at her. “What... What are you looking at?”

“Nothing! It’s just... that you look somewhat different, Assistant Han,” Tang Hao said.

“Really?” Han Yutong lowered her head and said bashfully.

‘That half an hour spent on preening myself was worth it!’ She thought happily in her heart.

Tang Hao furrowed his brows. “You shouldn’t do that too often though! Cosmetics can be very damaging to your skin.”

Han Yutong immediately rolled her eyes.

Those words ruined the perfect atmosphere!

‘Does he mean that my skin quality is bad?’

How could a woman tolerate that!

She gritted her teeth and glared angrily at Tang Hao.

“Why are you so angry, Assistant Han?” Tang Hao was confused. “Come, let me recommend you something. This is made from all-natural ingredients with no side effects.”

He retrieved a small wooden box from the bag as he spoke.

“Here, this is my beauty cream, now with an improved formula! It’s entirely made from plants and it’s safe for the skin. Not only can it protect your skin, but it can also whiten and beautify it. Your skin will become fair and lustrous after using it.”

Han Yutong was surprised to hear that.

She had heard about the beauty cream before. It was going to be the company’s second product, and the effects were supposed to be miraculous.

She took the box and opened the lid. Inside was a snow-white cream that released a comforting fragrance. She took a whiff and the fragrance invigorated her.

“Wow! This smells so nice!” Han Yutong’s eyes sparkled. Her praise was genuine.

“Of course!” Tang Hao said with a smile.

He had continuously worked on the formula for the beauty cream. Not only the effects were better, but he had also added some fragrant herbs so that it smelled better.

“Thank you, President Tang!” Han Yutong was ecstatic as she kept the box. She knew that it was incredibly expensive.

“Here, take some more!” Tang Hao retrieved some more boxes of the beauty cream and stuffed them in her hands.

The two of them went into the meeting room and met up with Liu Yan and the others.

Tang Hao put several boxes of the beauty cream on the table for everyone to see.

“Hm! This looks a lot better than before. Why is it so fragrant?” Liu Yan exclaimed as she beheld a box of beauty cream in her hands.

“That’s my secret formula!” Tang Hao said with a smile.

Liu Yan took a deep whiff and became even more amazed.

“That’s incredible! The incredible fragrance and the amazing effects will make this beauty cream a big hit. It might sell even better than the weight-loss tea.”

Liu Dajun and the other bosses were all praises.

“The woman in my house should like this a lot. She’s been happy with using the original version. Now that there’s an upgraded version, she’ll be ecstatic,” Jin Biao said happily as he slammed the table.

Liu Dajun used his finger to scrape a little cream and rub it on his face.

“Hey, Ol’ Liu! What are you doing? You’re already past your prime yet you still want to look beautiful?” President Li took a jab at him.

Liu Dajun glared at him and said, “What do you know, Ol’ Li? Everyone wants to be beautiful if they have the chance. Don’t you know how handsome I was when I was younger?

“Look at me now. Thanks to Lil Tang, I’ve lost a lot of excess weight. With this cream, I can look fairer and younger.”

Then, he smiled curiously at Tang Hao. “Hey, Lil Tang, would your cream work on men?”

Tang Hao regarded him curiously and said, “Of course it’ll work. However, your skin will be extremely fair after you’ve used it.”

“Isn’t that good? Give me a few more boxes then!” Liu Dajun said heartily.

Tang Hao was speechless. Even Liu Yan and the others were laughing while covering their mouths.

“I’ve already thought of a name for it, President Tang. Let’s call it Bingji! I think it will be an instant hit if we can ride on the weight-loss tea’s popularity.”

“Bingji? That’s a good name! Let’s call it that!” Tang Hao nodded his head. [1]

While Tang Hao chatted with Liu Dajun and the other bosses, he mentioned the matter of obtaining a driver’s license and purchasing a car.

Everyone was shocked. They had thought that Tang Hao would rather drive a three-wheeled motorcycle!

“Ha, that’s too easy! You can leave it to me. I’ll arrange something for you!” Liu Dajun said while thumping his chest. “You start taking driving lessons, and when you’re done, I’ll get someone to arrange a test for you. It’ll be very easy, and you can get your license very soon.”

Tang Hao was relieved when he heard that.

In the next two weeks, Tang Hao was busy with his everyday life. In the day, he was occupied with the new product release. At night, he was busy with cultivating.

Releasing a new product required new production lines and a bigger workforce. Then, he needed to be actively involved in training workers.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. It was finally the day to go to Sis Xiangyi’s home.

They woke up very early in the morning and were very nervous.

Tang Hao changed into a business suit and, in a rare display of self-consciousness, styled his hair neatly. He looked in the mirror and could not recognize himself.

As the saying went, “Clothes make the man”, he carried a different aura after he changed his clothes.

Qin Xiangyi struggled over the correct outfit and finally settled on a black evening gown. She matched the gown with a pair of jade earrings and bracelets and looked like a noblewoman.

The jade necklace was too extravagant, and she dared not wear it.

The doorbell rang just when they were done dressing up.

Tang Hao went to open the door and saw Qin Gang outside.

Qin Gang leaned close to Tang Hao. “Hey, Younger Brother-in-law, your potion is amazing! I feel great now, and you can’t tell how bold I am in bed.”

Tang Hao rolled his eyes. “You’d better take it easy, don’t hurt yourself again!”

“Yes, yes!” Qin Gang urgently replied.

Qin Xiangyi came out of the room.

Qin Gang was dumbfounded when he saw her. “F*ck me, who are you?” He blurted.

The woman in front of her had undergone a complete transformation. Even her brother could not recognize her.

[1] ‘Bingji’ literally means ‘ice skin’. It is left untranslated to match with the name of the tea.
