"We’re going to open the same type of business: an herbal skincare company. We’ll sell products like toners, lotions, facial cleansers, and so on," Qin Yujie said with a laugh after glancing at his phone.
"But we don’t have any formulas," Qin Zhengxin pointed out.
"Exactly! That woman went too far, and so did Wu Tian. We’re the Qin family, and he didn’t show us any respect at all!" Ye Lan began to rant furiously. "Without a formula, how are we supposed to make skincare products? Facial cleansers and all that?"
Copying someone else’s products was illegal, but creating their own unique product from scratch was extremely difficult. After all, many companies had started facial mask businesses this year, but only one herbal mask had made a name for itself. Even looking back at the past few years, though masks sold well, only one brand, "Spring Rain," had broken through the competition to become well-known.
"Don’t worry. We have a formula," Qin Yujie said with a confident smile, glancing at his phone again.
At that moment, Qin Yujie’s confident demeanor took both Ye Lan and Qin Zhengxin by surprise.
"Son, where did we get a formula?" Ye Lan demanded, her voice tight with tension. "Judging from Wu Tian’s tone, he’s definitely not giving us his."
"Of course, it’s not Wu Tian’s formula," Qin Yujie said.
"But will it be effective?" Qin Zhengxin asked doubtfully.
"That’s why we need to borrow Wu Tian’s name," Qin Yujie explained, scrutinizing his phone screen. He looked up, his confidence plain to see. "We’ll make consumers mistakenly believe our products are related to his, just as effective as Xia Qian’s herbal masks. We don’t have to tell people the formula comes from Wu Tian. We just need to say one thing: we are the Qin family, and Wu Tian is the Qin family’s son-in-law. People will naturally make the connection themselves."
"This... can we really do this? This is... this is fraud!" Qin Zhengxin said, his face paling.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Have we deceived anyone?" Ye Lan glanced proudly at Qin Yujie. This is my son, truly. Only I could give birth to someone so clever and resourceful. She then shot an angry glare at Qin Zhengxin. "You’re the fool! We won’t tell people the formula is from Wu Tian. We’re just publicizing the fact that he’s our son-in-law and we are the Qin family. On top of that, we’re also using an herbal formula. Heh. If people jump to the wrong conclusion, that has nothing to do with us."
"But what if Wu Tian... what if Wu Tian gets angry? What then?" Qin Zhengxin worried.
"You’re so useless," Ye Lan huffed at her ineffectual husband. "So what if he gets angry? What’s so impressive about that kid? I don’t see it. In any case, he’s the Qin family’s son-in-law, and I’m his elder. I doubt he’d dare to do anything to me."
With that, Ye Lan smiled and walked away with Qin Yujie, practically bursting with pride.
Qin Zhengxin was left standing alone, hesitant and wanting to speak but holding his tongue. In the end, he could only sigh to himself. I have a bad feeling about this. Everyone who becomes his enemy meets a tragic end. To say he doesn’t have some special tricks up his sleeve... I don’t believe it. Ye Lan, you always think I’m weak. You don’t understand that the only reason I listen to you is because I love you. I can’t let you two be so reckless with this. I must ask my older brother for his opinion.
