Once the company was listed, the stock price skyrocketed by dozens of times. Jiujiu was directly promoted to the second richest woman in the country, and she was only a few billion away from first place.
She was the richest woman in the country because of her family's hard work.
Jiujiu, on the other hand, had relied on herself to accomplish this feat overnight.
Moreover, with the popularity of the "Huan Yan" products, it was only a matter of time before Jiujiu surpassed the first place.
Han Chen looked at the screen. He was dressed in a decent suit and said to the reporter with a smile, "The main purpose of the 'Huan Yan' series of products is that I hope every girl can find their most beautiful appearance. I hope that all girls can realize that we become beautiful not because we want to please a certain man, but because we deserve to be beautiful."
Jiujiu's words attracted the applause of countless girls.
Society was too hostile to girls these days.
Girls who wore less were considered flirtatious. Children who wore more makeup were attracted to men.
Those men were so ordinary, but they were so confident. It was as if every move of a girl was to attract their attention.
Now, such a strong woman was telling the public that girls could become beautiful because of themselves. She won the hearts of the public.
After Li Cui came back, she heard a familiar sound coming from Han Chen's phone. She thought that Han Chen was talking to Ceng Jiu. She thought that her plan was about to succeed. Just as she was about to ask Han Chen about the progress, she heard the sound coming from Han Chen's phone.
Looking at the younger, more confident, and more outstanding Ceng Jiu in the video, Li Cui felt like she had been slapped a dozen times. Her cheeks were swollen and burning.
Looking at the title of the video, Li Cui thought of the "Huan Yan" skincare products that were popular on the Internet. She didn't expect it to be a product of Ceng Jiu's company.
Li Cui was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
She had spent so much time and effort, but not only had Ceng Jiu not been defeated by her, she had even become stronger and developed such excellent skincare products.
Ceng Jiu's image disappeared. Next, the reporter introduced Jiujiu's achievements. The more Li Cui listened, the more afraid she became.
Ceng Jiu was like an insurmountable mountain, making her feel fear.
Li Cui abruptly turned around and quickly returned to her room. She slammed the door shut and looked into the mirror. She looked like she had gone through countless hardships to get what she wanted. Li Cui covered her face in despair.
She had already done so many things according to the System's instructions. Why did things still not go according to the way she wanted?
Could it be that Ceng Jiu was really an insurmountable mountain in her life?
No, she couldn't.
She had exchanged her soul for this opportunity, so she had to grasp it well.
Li Cui continued to bargain with the system. After a while, her eyes finally darkened and she made up her mind.
Since he couldn't destroy Ceng Jiu, he would destroy the person Ceng Jiu cared about the most.
In the past, the person that Li Cui cared about the most for Ceng Jiu was Han Chen.
But now, it seemed that the person Ceng Jiu cared about the most was not Han Chen, but her daughter, Han Xiaoxiao.
Thinking of Han Xiaoxiao's face that resembled Ceng Jiu's, the hatred in Li Cui's heart spread like poison.
Han Xiaoxiao, don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for having a troublesome mother.
Your mother stole my husband, so I will make you pay the price.
Han Xiaoxiao, who didn't know that danger was coming, was discussing the problems in the book with her teacher, Pei Heng.
Although Han Xiaoxiao majored in art, she had inherited Ceng Jiu and Han Chen's high IQ. Her cultural lessons were not worse than the average person's, but she chose art because she liked art.
Now that she had transferred to another department, she finally caught up with her own homework after being tutored by the tutors.
Pei Heng was Han Xiaoxiao's teacher. Because Han Xiaoxiao's foundation was relatively weak, he noticed Han Xiaoxiao when he asked her questions during roll call. After learning about Han Xiaoxiao's situation, he offered to tutor Han Xiaoxiao.
Han Xiaoxiao had a very good impression of Pei Heng.
After discussing the problems in the book, Han Xiaoxiao thanked him gratefully. "Mr. Pei, I'm so sorry for troubling you. I don't know how to thank you."
Although she had found a tutor, it was only a short time, so she was not as good as the other students.
When he heard Han Xiaoxiao's words, Pei Heng smiled gently. "You are my student. It is my duty to teach you."
Pei Heng was as gentle as jade, and the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose made him look very gentle. At this moment, when he looked at Han Xiaoxiao with a smile, Han Xiaoxiao felt as if a deer had hit her heart hard.
However, because of Gu Cheng's example, although she was a little tempted, Han Xiaoxiao was more cautious than before. She smiled and said, "Mr. Pei, if you say that again, I won't dare to ask you to tutor me in the future. You don't have to say anymore. I'll treat you to a meal after school on Friday. See you then."
After Han Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she waved at Pei Heng and walked away suavely.
Looking at Han Xiaoxiao's back, Pei Heng adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose. The corners of his mouth twitched, and a confident smile appeared on his face.
Friday.
Han Xiaoxiao and Pei Heng went to the mall near the school to eat.
Because there were only two of them, Han Xiaoxiao did not choose a private room. Instead, she sat in the main hall to avoid suspicion.
Pei Heng ordered three dishes and handed the menu to Han Xiaoxiao. He smiled and said, "I've ordered. See if you want more."
Han Xiaoxiao took the menu and saw that it was her favorite dishes. Han Xiaoxiao was stunned. She looked up at Pei Heng and met his smiling eyes.
Even a fool would be able to understand what Pei Heng meant.
Han Xiaoxiao blushed slightly. She coughed softly and said, "Let's add a soup."
After Han Xiaoxiao added a bowl of West Lake beef soup, she smiled and said to Pei Heng, "Mr. Pei, thank you so much for helping me during this time."
Even if there were so many people helping her with her classes, she would not have been able to keep up with the school's progress so quickly without Pei Heng's help.
Pei Heng had an impeccable smile on his face. "It's what I should do. Xiaoxiao, why did you only change majors in your third year?"
Most people would change majors in their first year if they did not like their major. The latest would be in their second year. Han Xiaoxiao had only changed majors in her third year. It was indeed strange.
In the past, Han Xiaoxiao would be sad when people asked her about it. However, after this period of busyness and settling down, Han Xiaoxiao had already let it go.
"I was too willful in the past. I only thought of myself. Now that I know that my parents are not having it easy, I want to do my best to let my parents live a happier life in the future."
"In that case, Xiaoxiao is really a filial child. Uncle and Auntie will be very happy when they know."
Han Xiaoxiao nodded coldly. "Okay."
