Chapter 176 Came Prepared

Lilian looked toward Iris, silently asking what she should do.

Iris’s brow furrowed almost imperceptibly before her expression returned to normal. She gave Lilian a subtle nod, signaling her to continue.

The host had already set up the transition. There was no turning back now.

Lilian accepted the makeup–removing wipe from Yolanda and carefully wiped the foundation from the back of her hand.

As expected, the skin immediately became warm and flushed.

Because Lilian’s complexion was so fair, the redness stood out even more.

“Director Summer’s hand is turning red…”

“What’s going on?”

Several reporters in the front row noticed immediately, their camera flashes firing nonstop.

They caught sight of Yolanda’s pale expression behind Lilian and quickly jumped to a conclusion.

“Don’t tell me the sample they just demonstrated is defective?”

“This is unbelievable! Isn’t this supposed to be a product launch? The new product already has a problem this serious?”

Several people planted by competing cosmetics companies began spreading rumors through the crowd.

The audience grew increasingly noisy.

Microphones and cameras all turned toward Iris.

Everyone was waiting for her response.

Today, Iris wore light makeup.

Under the bright stage lights, she looked breathtaking. She calmly rose from her seat and walked onto the stage.

Taking the microphone from Lilian, she gently lifted Lilian’s wrist with her free hand, making the reddened skin on the back of her hand clearly visible to everyone.

“As you can all see…” She held up the bottle of foundation. “This foundation has a problem.”

“It is one of our failed prototypes from the development process. It has a poor texture and can irritate the skin, causing redness.”

Then she reached into the handbag she had brought with her and produced another bottle of foundation.

She handed it to Lilian.

“This is our actual new product. It has a lightweight feel and excellent coverage.”

Lilian looked at her in surprise.

‘She came prepared…”

Playing along, she applied the new foundation over the reddened area.

The redness disappeared beneath the smooth layer of makeup.

Completely by accident, they had just given the product a perfect live demonstration.

The reporters, however, weren’t so easily convinced.

One immediately asked,

“Then why would Venus deliberately include a segment like this in presentation?”

Without missing a beat, Iris replied, “It’s another innovation. We wanted to demonstrate the new product’s real concealing power. Artificially created blemishes never look completely authentic, so we thought we’d also let everyone witness part of our R&D team’s development journey.”

She paused before continuing.

“In addition, we’ll be including this defective foundation free of charge with every full–sized purchase.”

“During development, we unexpectedly discovered that this prototype also has a testing function. If you mix your regular facial toner with one pump of this foundation and they blend together completely, it indicates the toner may be relatively irritating. People with sensitive skin should avoid using it.”

The entire audience erupted.

Several executives from other skincare and cosmetics companies were also present. The moment they heard that, they could no longer sit still.

No one knew better than they did how much their actual products differed from their marketing claims.

If this test was genuine…

Their companies would be pulling all–night quality inspections.

“Can it really do that?”

Iris happily demonstrated on the spot. She mixed the foundation with one of Venus’s own toners.

Sure enough…

The two liquids did not blend completely.

Something with a function like that…

And they were giving it away as a free gift instead of selling it as a new product?

What kind of charitable business model was this?

Still smiling for the cameras, Lilian leaned toward Iris and whispered,

“You already prepared another batch of the foundation, didn’t you? And since when does the defective version have a testing function?”

Without changing her smile, Iris answered quietly,

“I made it.”

The foundation had already been switched once.

There was a good chance the saboteur was hiding somewhere within the R&D department and intended to cause trouble during the launch.

So Iris had prepared a backup plan.

She had first asked Lilian for the complete formula.

After everyone had gone home, she personally made another batch of the authentic foundation and kept it with her.

As for the swapped, defective bottle that hadn’t yet been discarded…

She had taken it back to the Zero Degrees Institute overnight and modified it into a special testing formula.

It could no longer be safely applied to the skin, but it retained the ingredient- testing function.

Then, before everyone arrived at work the following morning, she quietly placed it back where it had originally been.

It was bait.

Lilian inhaled sharply. “Only you would think that far ahead. You’re almost frighteningly meticulous.”

Iris didn’t answer. She simply maintained her polished professional smile as she shifted her gaze slightly…

Toward Yolanda standing behind Lilian.

The moment their eyes met, every hair on Yolanda’s body stood on end.

“P–President Zero…” She forced out a smile. “I don’t think I’m needed here anymore. I’ll be going.”

Keeping her head lowered to avoid Iris’s eyes, she hurried off the stage.

Everyone’s attention remained focused on Iris and Lilian.

“Now that our little interlude is over…” Iris handed the microphone back to Lilian. “Let’s continue with today’s scheduled presentation.”

“That look President Zero gave me… she must’ve figured it out.‘

‘Director Summer and President Zero are still busy with the launch. This is my only chance to escape.‘
