Chapter 471: Some Things Are Inherent!

Qian Dasheng actually told him not to provoke Shen Fei?

Ma Hua couldn’t help but curve his lips in a disdainful smile. He had heard that not long ago, Qian Dasheng had dined with Shen Fei at Shengzhu Restaurant, and even had photos taken and uploaded to the internet.

This caused a huge stir online, with everyone criticizing Qian Dasheng for lowering his status by associating with a local rich man, which seemed to tarnish his image.

If Shen Fei had a powerful background, it might be understandable.

But Shen Fei didn’t. Just recently, he was a hopeless gambler with nothing to his name. Such a person was a waste of air in this world.

The only thing that could be praised about him was the scar-healing ointment he developed. Without this, Shen Fei would have no backing to compete with capital in this world.

Even though Shen Fei had once sat down with Qian Dasheng and drank together, in Ma Hua’s mind, Shen Fei was always unworthy.

Given this situation, how could Qian Dasheng come to warn him not to provoke Shen Fei?

If he didn’t care about his own face, Ma Hua would have laughed out loud.

At present, it seemed that he hadn’t provoked Shen Fei; rather, Shen Fei had actively sought him out!

Besides, even if he did provoke Shen Fei, so what?

He was the president of Tencent Company!

Qian Dasheng’s implication was clear: he was telling him not to provoke Shen Fei, which meant he was also asking him to give up the “world” (referring to their market dominance), right?

How could that be possible?

Now that things had developed to this point, if Tencent Company voluntarily gave up, what would others think of them?

The market for the “Tianjue” game had already started to show its potential, gaining recognition in such a short time. As the dominant force in the gaming market, Tencent Company would never allow Shen Fei to take away their market share.

Thinking this way, Ma Hua’s pride flared up again.

It wasn’t that he didn’t take the matter seriously, but Shen Fei, the local rich man, wasn’t worth his attention.

Noticing the slight change in Ma Hua’s expression, Qian Dasheng saw his disdain for Shen Fei and didn’t say more. He smiled slightly and said directly:

“Mr. Ma, I’ve given all the advice I could. There’s no need to say more. I wish you success in everything!”

After saying that, Qian Dasheng left without another word.

Ma Hua, seeing this, was filled with bewilderment.

However, this confusion didn’t last long. Watching Qian Dasheng walk away, he shook his head and smiled helplessly.

…

Compared to last time, when Tencent Company suppressed the popularity of the topic with capital, this time, Shen Fei personally expressed his stance in front of the camera, keeping the topic in the spotlight.

Even so, neither Longguang Media nor Tencent Company had given any response.

Despite many reporters doing their best to interview the two companies by waiting outside their doors, no responses came.

Even though a number of reporters approached Han Xinyan, they didn’t get any useful information.

Shen Fei, the one who had brought Longguang Media and Tencent Company into the spotlight, had stayed home for these few days, not stepping out at all.

Only when he learned that Tang Xingwen had brought his friend to the XinYue Group for an interview, did he step out briefly. Otherwise, he stayed in his study, organizing his memories of famous directors, screenwriters, and talented actors from his past life.

Time passed quickly.

After a call with Jiang Tiancheng, Hu Yuantai, and Duan Guxiang, Shen Fei didn’t pay much attention to the confrontation with Tencent Company. He took the documents and drove to the newly renamed XinYue Media.

Thanks to Jiang Tiancheng’s connections, procedures that would usually take a long time were completed in just a few days.

When Shen Fei arrived at XinYue Media, the moment they saw his Maybach, Jiang Tiancheng, Hu Yuantai, and Duan Guxiang immediately surrounded him.

“Brother Fei!”

“Hey, you guys take the lead, take me on a tour of the company!”

Shen Fei nodded slightly.

“Brother Fei, I knew you’d say that, so I had the relevant person in charge waiting in the meeting room early this morning. They’ve been waiting for you!” Jiang Tiancheng said proudly.

With the three of them leading the way, the employees they passed greeted Shen Fei with great respect.

Shen Fei wasn’t at all intimidated.

Soon, they reached the grand meeting room.

After greeting everyone, Shen Fei began his first meeting at XinYue Media.

Without any preparation, Shen Fei began speaking directly and confidently. His powerful presence and overwhelming aura left many people surprised and intrigued.

Even Jiang Tiancheng, Duan Guxiang, and Hu Yuantai were astonished.

It was the first time they had seen Shen Fei like this.

Within such a short period of time, the three of them exchanged astonished glances.

Just looking at Shen Fei’s commanding presence during the meeting, even the CEOs of Fortune 500 companies wouldn’t be able to match it.

If Shen Fei wasn’t like this, they might have thought he was just a figurehead CEO.

But after hearing the content of the meeting and seeing that Shen Fei didn’t have a script, they realized they had underestimated his abilities.

This realization made the three of them even more respectful, and the executives at XinYue Media couldn’t help but feel awed by the new boss.

The meeting lasted for nearly three hours.

Seeing the time, Shen Fei signaled that everyone could go for lunch, and then he noticed the expressions of the three remaining people in the room.

Seeing their looks, Shen Fei couldn’t help but smile helplessly.

“Why are you looking at me like that? What’s wrong?”

“Brother Fei, it’s just that our impression of you has grown even more!” Jiang Tiancheng said with admiration.

“Huh? Why?” Shen Fei asked, confused.

“Brother Fei, the way you conducted the meeting just now, the pressure you exuded… If you hadn’t been in the business world for many years, how could you unconsciously give off that kind of aura? If we hadn’t seen you rise from nothing in the past six months, we would have thought you were a seasoned veteran!” Jiang Tiancheng explained.

Hearing this, Shen Fei slightly curved his lips.

In his previous life, the world-renowned XinYue Group was created by him. In the end, the group’s assets reached trillions. If he didn’t have this kind of aura, how could he manage such wealth?

“Brother Fei, how did you develop this aura?” Jiang Tiancheng asked in wonder.

“Some things… are inherent,” Shen Fei replied lightly.

After a pause, he continued:

“You probably forgot, but before this, I acquired several companies in various fields…”

—————- END —————-

Chapter 472: I Have High Hopes for You!

When Shen Fei proactively mentioned the other sectors, the three men exchanged a glance, and they could see each other’s helplessness.

Whether it was the Yuexin series, the semiconductor field, or Longguang Media Company…

Shen Fei’s role in these areas had been like that of a hands-off manager.

The three of them even felt that Shen Fei had probably visited these companies no more than a handful of times, maybe twice, and most of his visits were likely to see Han Xinyan at the Yuexin Group, where he would spend most of his time with her and not be involved in much of the actual work.

Under these circumstances, how could Shen Fei, surrounded by such a situation, exude such a commanding presence during meetings?

It seemed impossible.

But they were not planning to ask further. After all, even if they asked, Shen Fei might not tell them the full truth. It was better to just accept that this commanding air was something Shen Fei was born with.

After this topic ended, the group remained in the meeting room.

When the atmosphere grew silent, Hu Yuantai took out a stack of documents and handed them to Shen Fei.

“Brother Fei, this contains detailed information about the Jiexing Media Company. You should take a look and get familiar with it!”

Shen Fei nodded, took the documents, and started reviewing them under the watchful eyes of the three.

The material wasn’t thick, just a little over ten pages, but it covered the specific matters of Yuexin Media Company in detail.

About twenty minutes later, Shen Fei finished reading the last page.

“Mm, overall, it looks okay. There doesn’t seem to be anything unusual.”

“Brother Fei, is there anything that needs to be changed?” Hu Yuantai asked in a low voice.

“I’ve looked through it and didn’t find anything that needs changing. But for this company, I plan to have the three of you take charge. If anything doesn’t seem right, just make some adjustments. I have one request: make sure the company develops quickly while ensuring its safety!” Shen Fei said directly.

“We understand that, Brother Fei!” Hu Yuantai said seriously.

“I have high hopes for you!” Shen Fei smiled.

“Brother Fei, leave it to us, and you just focus on being at ease! We’ll definitely achieve something that will make you proud! If we can’t handle Yuexin Media properly, what face would we have to ask you to bring all the fields under our company in the future?” Jiang Tiancheng said confidently.

Shen Fei smiled slightly but didn’t continue on that topic.

He nodded briefly, took out some materials he had compiled from the past few days about directors, screenwriters, and actors.

“Take a look at these people’s information first. Later, find an opportunity to make contact with them. If possible, try to bring them into our company. As for the screenwriters, let them show us the scripts they’re interested in. No matter what, don’t create enemies. It’s easier to make enemies than friends.”

Shen Fei handed the documents to the three men.

They took the papers, and their brows furrowed as they saw the names on the list.

Although they didn’t know much about the entertainment industry, they were familiar with some people.

The names on this list, however, were mostly unfamiliar, and their fame was far from impressive.

Could such people create works that would elevate Yuexin Media into a top-tier company in the world? It seemed completely impossible!

If Shen Fei’s previous comments about acquiring Longguang Media got out, it might even become a joke in the entire industry!

“Brother Fei, what was your criteria for choosing these names? Although I haven’t had much contact with people in the entertainment industry, I still know some of them! But I’ve never heard of most of these names on the list!” Duan Guxiang frowned and asked.

“Fame isn’t the issue! If we had chosen directors and screenwriters with big names, would they have respected us? Would they work with us?” Shen Fei smiled lightly.

Duan Guxiang had no reply to that.

Indeed, many famous directors and screenwriters would probably not even consider their company, especially considering their lack of reputation. Bigger companies would likely have more appeal to these stars.

“You don’t need to worry about this! These people on the list were carefully chosen by me. While their fame may not be high now, their potential is great, and their abilities are highly commendable. All they need is a stage to shine. If we give them that, they will definitely make a big impact. You just need to follow through, and when the final scripts are selected, let me review and approve them!” Shen Fei said casually.

“Understood!”

Hu Yuantai didn’t think too much and nodded.

“Then, Brother Fei, we’ll discuss it later and then directly approach those directors, screenwriters, and actors for collaboration!”

“Brother Fei, it’s time for lunch. Where are we eating?” Jiang Tiancheng rubbed his slightly bloated stomach, his face contorted.

Seeing this, Shen Fei smiled and said, “Let’s eat outside! Just pick any restaurant. Since today we’re arranging things for Yuexin Media, I’ll call Bai Runqi over. It’s a good chance for you to meet him and discuss Yuexin Media’s first movie, and Bai Runqi will be the chief director for the company going forward!”

Though the decision to make Bai Runqi the chief director felt a bit sudden to the three, they didn’t voice any objections.

…

About half an hour later.

At a high-end restaurant near Yuexin Media.

“Mr. Shen!” Bai Runqi arrived, panting, at the table.

“Old Bai, you really timed it well!” Shen Fei joked.

“It’s fine! I’m not late!” Bai Runqi glanced at his wristwatch proudly.

This was quite different from the last time he had been late.

“Alright, let’s introduce each other!” Shen Fei said indifferently.

“Don’t need to, I already know them. This is General Manager Jiang Tiancheng, General Manager Hu Yuantai, and General Manager Duan Guxiang!”

Bai Runqi said directly.

“I didn’t expect you to know us!” Jiang Tiancheng said with surprise.

“Of course! Since Mr. Shen hired me, I had to get a thorough understanding of the company’s internal matters!” Bai Runqi said loudly.

“Director Bai, I’ve heard a lot about you!” Hu Yuantai smiled slightly, greeting him.

Bai Runqi accepted the title of Director with ease, ignoring the “heard a lot about you” part, and proudly said, “Mr. Shen, Mr. Jiang, Mr. Hu, Mr. Duan, you’ll all be very glad you made this decision today! As for the favor Mr. Shen has shown me, I have no way to repay it except by presenting you with the best works!”

This arrogant remark made Jiang Tiancheng gasp in surprise.

But his expression remained unchanged.

After the pleasantries were over, Shen Fei said, “Old Bai, take out your script and let them take a look!”

“Alright!”

Saying that, Bai Runqi pulled out the script that Shen Fei had reviewed previously and handed it to the three men.

The three of them took it, their eyes flashing with a bit of surprise.

—————- END —————-

Chapter 473: The More You Explain, The Worse It Gets!

Ancient conflicts.

This type of theme, in today’s era, doesn’t exactly stand out as a groundbreaking or novel concept.

However, despite this, when Jiang Tiancheng and the other two opened the first page of the script, they were completely immersed in it.

They read with intense focus, putting themselves in the shoes of the protagonists, feeling the adrenaline of defending their homeland in heroic battles. By the end of the script, they were emotionally stirred, their blood pumping.

Even though they were no longer at the age where they could easily empathize with novels, they were still deeply affected by the emotions stirred by the script.

And this was just the result of reading the text.

If it were made into a visually impactful movie, how much more would it shock the audience?

“Director Bai, where exactly did you find this script?” Duan Guxiang swallowed hard, clearly surprised.

“I wrote it!” Bai Runqi’s expression was calm.

“You wrote it?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tiancheng and Hu Yuantai froze, looking at Bai Runqi in disbelief.

Were they dreaming?

Wasn’t Bai Runqi the director hired by Shen Fei?

How had he suddenly become the screenwriter?

Wait, if Bai Runqi could write such an amazing script, why had he been in such a sorry state before?

“Tch, it seems you don’t really believe me!” Bai Runqi frowned.

“No, you’re the director!” Jiang Tiancheng exclaimed.

“Mr. Jiang, that statement is a bit one-sided! A director who can’t write a good script isn’t a good director. As a director, the script I want to shoot the most is my own. I am developing comprehensively, isn’t that fine?” Bai Runqi raised his eyebrows.

“Indeed, judging by the script’s content, it’s really good… How did you…” Duan Guxiang blurted out.

Suddenly realizing his question might be too blunt, he hesitated.

“Mr. Duan, are you asking how come I’m still doing so poorly?” Bai Runqi smiled.

Pausing for a moment, he shrugged nonchalantly.

“I’ve said it before, as a director, the script I want to shoot the most is my own. If I can write it, I won’t give it to someone else. Even if the script becomes a hit, people will remember the director and the famous actors. As for me, the screenwriter, who cares about me? Moreover, this script was just completed recently. If President Shen hadn’t promised me the position of chief director, I wouldn’t have had results this soon!”

After hearing Bai Runqi’s explanation, Duan Guxiang remained confused.

“So, you’re saying that if you hadn’t become a director and didn’t have a chance to direct, this script wouldn’t have been released?”

“Yes! Of course, this is based on the premise that I couldn’t become a director. I’m not a bad person, but I’m not a saint either. I can’t create something for someone else’s benefit! I want my name, Bai Runqi, to be known far and wide. I don’t want to live a miserable life, so even if I was down and out, I wouldn’t easily sell this script!” Bai Runqi nodded with determination.

His words were so resolute that the other three couldn’t help but view him in a different light.

At this moment, the waiter brought the exquisite dishes to the table.

However, none of the men paid any attention to the food.

“Alright, you’ve seen the script. What do you think?”

Seeing the conversation winding down, Shen Fei suddenly spoke.

“Although we don’t know much about movies, based on the content of this script, the story is perfect, the logic is smooth, and the emotions are rich. If made into a movie, it would definitely be a great film!” Duan Guxiang said seriously.

The other two didn’t speak but nodded in agreement once Duan Guxiang finished.

Then, all three turned their attention to Shen Fei, waiting for his response.

Before Shen Fei could speak, Bai Runqi nodded.

“You’ve got good taste!”

His gaze softened as it rested on Duan Guxiang.

However, just seconds later, Duan Guxiang furrowed his brows.

“The only thing I’m not sure about…”

His gaze lingered on Bai Runqi.

“Not sure? About what?”

Bai Runqi quickly asked.

When he saw the look in Duan Guxiang’s eyes, he immediately understood and sneered.

“The only thing you’re not sure about? Is it me, Bai Runqi? Because my reputation is bad? Or because I’ve never directed a film before?”

“I didn’t mean that!” Duan Guxiang said, feeling awkward as his thoughts were exposed.

“Don’t explain it. The more you explain, the worse it gets!” Bai Runqi smiled indifferently.

“I understand. Based on my current fame and achievements, I, Bai Runqi, don’t have any standing! But I’m not fighting for fame. The script I wrote, I’ll direct myself. Give me enough funding, and I’ll take responsibility for the promotion. If this film doesn’t earn five billion at the box office, I’ll work for Jiexing Media for free for ten years!”

“Tch, you’re so confident?” Jiang Tiancheng asked.

“Yes! If I weren’t confident, I wouldn’t be standing here with my script in front of you and President Shen! I wouldn’t say that I want to direct my own script!” Bai Runqi said firmly.

Jiang Tiancheng nearly couldn’t hold back a laugh.

Such crazy words! If this were any other company, Bai Runqi would probably be kicked out right now!

Even though the script in Bai Runqi’s hands was excellent, no sensible company would hire an inexperienced director with no fame to direct a movie.

After all, there had been similar cases before.

“Alright, now that the script is approved, Old Bai, tell us about your team!” Shen Fei interrupted.

“I’ve already contacted some relevant people and found the actors. However, some are still students, and some, like me, aren’t famous. To be honest, either I or Xinyue Media, at this point, hiring big-name actors is impossible! Even if we offer them a lot of money, they won’t lower their status. Plus, we don’t need to do that!”

Bai Runqi proactively explained.

Then, after a pause, he continued.

“We’ll make our movie well. If we do, the gold will shine. The word of mouth and box office will definitely rise!”

“However, for now, that’s all I can say! I’m waiting for your response. Once the approval comes through, I can start assembling the team!”

After hearing Bai Runqi’s report, Shen Fei nodded.

“Alright, I’ll give you five billion!”

“That’s enough!” Bai Runqi’s eyes gleamed with determination.

“Good, then go to the company tomorrow and discuss the details with these gentlemen. You can start preparing for the crew and filming. You’ll be the director!” Shen Fei arranged.

“So, it’s settled?”

Bai Runqi, approved by Shen Fei, couldn’t hide his joy. His pride returned to his eyes.

“Why not?” Shen Fei raised an eyebrow.

“There’s no why not! Thank you, President Shen!” Bai Runqi immediately said.

“Alright, let’s eat now! I’m starving!”

—————- END —————-

Chapter 474: This Situation is Tricky!

The meal was very pleasant.

At least, Bai Runqi was in a very cheerful mood.

When he left, the excitement in Bai Runqi’s heart hadn’t faded for a long time.

He had finally gained recognition.

This made him continuously thank his former self.

If it hadn’t been for his persistence, he would never have met Shen Fei at that hotel.

If they hadn’t met, Shen Fei would never have recognized him and given him a platform to showcase his talents!

Although Bai Runqi’s personality was unruly, he wasn’t without self-awareness and arrogance.

Thus, he had a clear understanding of himself. In this world, only Shen Fei would recognize him. If it had been anyone else, they would have kicked him out of the company long ago, let alone given him a chance to prove himself.

After all, his reputation in the industry was extremely poor. He didn’t have a single decent representative work and had no experience directing a movie.

All of this made him seem to have no advantages.

Even the capitalists he had offended would never offer him a way out.

When Bai Runqi left, Jiang Tiancheng, Hu Yuantai, and Duan Guxiang immediately stopped acting in a professional manner and looked at Shen Fei with confusion.

“Fei Ge, do you really trust this guy?” Jiang Tiancheng asked.

“Yeah, I trust him, but as for the outcome, we’ll have to see how things develop,” Shen Fei replied calmly.

As for his past understanding of Bai Runqi, he couldn’t share it with them now.

“This guy may be arrogant, but he knows his limits! He wasn’t bragging earlier; he really has the skills and abilities!” Hu Yuantai said loudly.

“So, what do you think he is?” Duan Guxiang asked, confused.

“I know this might sound crazy, but I think he really has the ability and strength!” Hu Yuantai smiled.

“Alright, Fei Ge trusts him, so we should just trust Fei Ge! As for this guy’s abilities, we’ll see when we’re shooting the movie!” Duan Guxiang grinned and then looked at Shen Fei.

“Fei Ge, we all know you have high expectations for Bai Runqi, but we need to clarify in advance that if Bai Runqi doesn’t have the ability, we need to replace him! Five billion isn’t a lot, but we can’t just throw away that money! If it turns out to be a bad movie, then Xinyue Media will become a joke in the industry!”

Hearing this, Shen Fei gave a faint smile.

“Yeah, that’s only fair! If he really doesn’t have the ability, we’ll have to replace him. But, if you recognize his abilities, then whatever Bai Runqi does next, don’t interfere too much! If you really don’t understand something, just call me and ask! Also, don’t do like Jiexing Media did before and force people into the production team!”

“Fei Ge, you don’t have to worry about that! If we want to add someone, it should be someone we want to promote, right?” Duan Guxiang teased.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Fei gave Jiang Tiancheng a meaningful look.

Following Shen Fei’s gaze, Hu Yuantai and Duan Guxiang also turned to look at Jiang Tiancheng.

“What’s going on? Why are you all looking at me?” Jiang Tiancheng said, flustered.

“Don’t you know?” Hu Yuantai asked playfully.

“I don’t! I really don’t get it. Do you all think I’m that kind of person? Yes, I used to be a bit of a flirt, liked to hang out with women, and almost ended up in jail because of it, but ever since I met Fei Ge, I’ve changed that bad habit! Moreover, now I have someone I want to spend my life with, so how could I sacrifice my morals for the company’s benefit?” Jiang Tiancheng said, glaring at Hu Yuantai.

“I’ll say it again, no matter what I was like in the past, I’m always mindful of my actions now. I know what’s right and wrong! Don’t confuse me with that kind of person!”

“Alright, we’re just messing with you! Do we not know you?” Hu Yuantai patted Jiang Tiancheng’s shoulder, calming him down.

“Tch, I don’t believe you! The way you all looked at me earlier, it really hurt my feelings!” Jiang Tiancheng sulked.

This feeling was really uncomfortable!

“Look at you! We’re just messing with you! If we thought you were a bad person, would we have let you be around me for so long?” Shen Fei said.

Hearing Shen Fei’s words, Jiang Tiancheng snorted.

“Mm-hmm, now that Fei Ge has said it, I’ll be magnanimous and forgive you! Damn, after all these years of being friends, you still don’t understand me like Fei Ge does!”

After hearing Jiang Tiancheng’s complaint, Hu Yuantai didn’t rush to argue.

After all, he had meant to tease Jiang Tiancheng but hadn’t expected him to take it to heart.

This situation is tricky.

“Alright, let’s get back to business! After Bai Runqi takes action, make sure to sign the actors he chooses! They don’t have much fame yet, so it will be easier to sign them now!” Shen Fei instructed.

“Fei Ge, it seems you really trust Bai Runqi!” Duan Guxiang said, astonished.

Shen Fei didn’t answer the question directly. Instead, he said,

“Let’s say, if this movie becomes a huge hit, the actors’ status will rise rapidly. If you want to sign them then, it won’t be as easy, will it?”

Shen Fei was simply stating that Bai Runqi had a sharp eye for talent.

Every actor he had brought on board had eventually become famous, and many of them went on to become top stars in the entertainment industry.

While some actors’ careers fizzled out over time, in the beginning, they were all very sought-after.

“Fei Ge, that’s a good point! Looking at it now, signing these actors is like signing a group of potential stars!” Duan Guxiang agreed.

Seeing Duan Guxiang’s understanding, Shen Fei nodded with a smile.

“Alright, now that the main points are covered, you all should head back to Xinyue Media to handle things, while I head over to the Yuexin series to check it out!”

“Alright! We should get back to studying Xinyue Media!” Hu Yuantai said loudly.

As the group continued their conversation, the lunch came to an end.

As Shen Fei drove to the Xinyue Group, a series of changes occurred in the Yuexin series.

The official website posted a new product image.

YX Sunscreen!

Once this news broke, it instantly sparked a wave of discussion.

—————- END —————-

Chapter 475: No Need to Respond!

When the public saw the price of the YX Sunscreen on the official website of the Yuexin series, they were all stunned.

“Wow, a 50ml bottle of sunscreen costs 750? Are they crazy?”

“Tsk, I have to admit, capitalists are really impressive! They could just take your money, but instead, they give you a tube of chemical stuff!”

“How dare they charge this much! Selling scar ointment, and now this… their hearts are really black! The price is ridiculous!”

“I’m out, is this sunscreen made of gold? Can’t afford it, I’m leaving, I’m leaving!”

“Unbelievable, I would call Shen Fei the number one marketer in the history of China! No wonder recently he hasn’t responded to Tencent Company and even directly challenged them in front of the cameras—this move is brilliant! His popularity is soaring!”

“Hey, where are those people who supported Shen Fei before, the ones who sided with him? Why aren’t they speaking up now? Come on, buy this 750 sunscreen!”

“My God, I’ve been looking forward to their new product release, but 750? Forget it!”

“If scar ointment costs this much, fine. But this sunscreen—what is it made of, gold or silver? I could just go buy those big brand sunscreens with this money!”

“I can see it now, the capitalists’ tactics are deep. The scar ointment was priced low and won the favor of many people… now it’s over for domestic products!”

Many netizens began to discuss loudly.

They all expressed their disdain for the price of the sunscreen, and even more contempt for Shen Fei.

In the past, those who sided with Shen Fei over the plagiarism of ‘Tianjue’ now turned their keyboards against him.

Although a few rational people still defended Shen Fei, their voices were drowned out by the majority.

Others, who never liked Shen Fei and had always criticized his actions, saw this as an opportunity to attack him more openly.

Among them were beauty industry peers and big-name PR firms from abroad, who saw this as a chance to target Shen Fei and brought in a lot of hired online commenters.

The reason behind this was not hard to guess.

The Yuexin series’ scar ointment had already reduced their market share in the Chinese beauty market.

They felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

Moreover, the production capacity of the Yuexin series’ scar ointment still couldn’t meet demand, and the factory wasn’t even built yet. If it were to be completed, the production volume would significantly increase, and how much market share would be left for them in the domestic beauty market?

And once the Yuexin Group had plans to step into foreign markets, the competitiveness of these international brands in overseas markets would dramatically decline.

This was the crisis that these big international brands were predicting.

If the scar ointment’s effectiveness wasn’t as advertised, they would have ignored it, but they had tested it and sent it to many professional institutions for research. The effects were extraordinary, and the technology behind it was impossible to replicate.

That was the most terrifying part—they couldn’t imitate it, nor could they surpass it. Over time, the market would become dominated by the scar ointment, leaving them no room to survive.

After analyzing the situation, they concluded that the Yuexin series, under Shen Fei, was their number one enemy in the industry.

Because of this, Clarins had previously tried to find ways to collaborate with the Yuexin series.

But it was because of Shen Fei’s firm refusal that the major international brands saw an opportunity and united to tarnish the scar ointment’s reputation.

Now, the company had launched a new sunscreen…

They were scared, genuinely afraid.

After all, when the scar ointment first launched, the situation was the same.

But in the end, the results proved the product was successful.

So when the preview and price for the sunscreen were released, they immediately saw what ordinary consumers couldn’t see.

Given the Yuexin series’ approach, setting such a high price meant this product must have something extraordinary about it.

Once they realized this, they considered the company their top enemy.

With the deliberate instigation of these big capitalists, many internet users lost their ability to think critically and didn’t even realize that compared to Yuexin’s 750 sunscreen, the prices of big-brand sunscreens were much higher.

At that moment.

Inside the Yuexin Group office.

In the office of the Public Relations Department Minister, Lin Tianzhen.

Han Xinyan entered.

“President Han!”

When Lin Tianzhen saw her, she immediately stood up from her chair.

“Minister Lin, as soon as the preview of our new product launched, everyone’s attacking the price of this sunscreen!” Han Xinyan said with a wry smile.

“President Han, actually, when Mr. Shen mentioned the sunscreen’s price before, I anticipated this day. If we trace it back, it all started with the price of the scar ointment… But there’s no point in discussing this now. No matter how the outside world criticizes our company, we must remain calm and not act hastily! I’ve already planned. After this wave passes and the public opinion settles, I’ll implement the related strategies…”

Before she could finish speaking, a steady voice interrupted her.

“In this situation, there’s no need! We don’t need to respond ourselves!”

The other two people in the office turned to look at the door.

“Mr. Shen!”

“President Shen!”

Shen Fei nodded and smiled as he entered.

He looked at Han Xinyan.

“I was going to look for you directly, but I ran into Secretary Xu, and she told me you were in the PR department, so I came straight here.”

“Did you see the online comments and criticisms about our new sunscreen?” Han Xinyan asked in surprise.

“Yeah, didn’t you just say so? I heard it all!” Shen Fei replied nonchalantly.

“Then why did you say we don’t need to respond?” Han Xinyan asked, puzzled.

“Look, this sunscreen is positioned as a high-end product. No matter what the outside world says, it won’t affect us! Also, the current production capacity can’t meet everyday demand. Even if we explain, it will still be criticized as ‘hunger marketing’! So, there’s really no need for an explanation!
