Chapter 400: Asking for Help
"Qian Qian, do you want to try it?"
Lu Meiyu looked at her daughter, seeking her opinion.
"I trust him. Since he came all the way to deliver the medicine, it must be effective."
Tao Qian Qian glanced shyly at Yang Cheng. If her face weren’t covered in sores, you could definitely see her blushing.
"Then I’ll apply some on Miss Tao’s scar on the side of her face first."
Yang Cheng opened the jar, inside was a light green cream with a pleasant fragrance. He took a bit with his finger and gently applied it on Tao Qian Qian’s face.
The cool sensation relieved the heat on her face, and the scent of the cream mixed with Yang Cheng’s presence made her heart race.
Chu Xiaoyu, being a woman, immediately noticed the girl’s interest in Yang Cheng.
But Kong Lingwen, having disguised himself as a man for years, seeing Tao Qian Qian’s unease, thought she was uncomfortable around men and suggested, "Why not let General Manager Chu apply the medicine? A woman’s touch is gentler, it won’t hurt Miss Tao."
"No need!"
Tao Qian Qian quickly declined, then added awkwardly, "President Yang is a doctor, his technique is more professional, and it doesn’t hurt at all."
To make the effect more noticeable, Yang Cheng applied more, and now Tao Qian Qian’s face was covered with a layer of green cream, making the sores more prominent.
Lu Meiyu frowned with concern; she had no other option now, having visited several hospitals with her daughter, all saying the skin damage could only recover slowly.
"It’s done. No touching the face now, in an hour I’ll clean off the cream and check the results."
Yang Cheng had just spoken when there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and a well-dressed middle-aged man hurried in.
"Honey, I’m back!"
Entering the room, he noticed some strangers, frowned, and asked, "Who are they?"
"Dad, they’re the owners of the face mask company, specifically here to treat me."
Tao Qian Qian quickly explained, pulling Yang Cheng’s arm to introduce him, "This is Yang Cheng, owner of Wenyu Cosmetics Company."
Tao Shiyong eyed Yang Cheng suspiciously, then glanced at his daughter, making Tao Qian Qian feel a bit guilty.
"County Chief Tao, hello."
At this point, Kong Lingwen suddenly spoke.
Tao Shiyong turned around and saw Kong Lingwen, his eyes lighting up, "General Manager Kong, how come you’re here? I didn’t even notice."
"Wenyu Cosmetics Company is an investment of mine; the three of us are the company’s owners."
Tao Shiyong looked puzzled, "Since you invested, why did such a bad incident happen? Apart from my daughter, many others had adverse reactions after using it."
"I know you create revenue for Peach Blossom County, but you can’t ignore quality for profit. Now this has blown up, the factory has been shut down, it’s a loss!"
At these words, Chu Xiaoyu and Yang Cheng glanced at their phones, sure enough, there were missed calls from Fang Ling and Lu Kun.
They had just left, and someone had shut down the factory. The face masks sold for only a few days before closure.
"County Chief Tao, our face masks are made purely from herbal ingredients, there’s no issue. The reason for the facial damage is someone tampering with the masks, and we’re investigating it, but right now we want to treat the victims."
Kong Lingwen spoke sincerely.
"Is that so, do you have evidence?"
Tao Shiyong asked casually.
"Not yet."
Kong Lingwen frowned slightly, silently vowing to find out the mastermind.
Tao Shiyong shook his head helplessly; without evidence, he couldn’t help. He couldn’t protect a cosmetics company with quality issues.
"County Chief, although we only produce face masks at present, each herbal mask costs 5,000 yuan, the profits are high, and they sell out immediately after being on the shelf. In no time, the company will become the leading enterprise in Peach Blossom County, bringing huge profits to the entire Peach Blossom County."
"As long as our company can continue operating, we promise to donate money to build roads and support poor families’ children’s education."
Yang Cheng spoke word by word, capturing everyone’s attention.
"5,000 yuan each, that’s so expensive!"
Tao Shiyong was shocked, then looked at Lu Meiyu beside him.
"Why did you buy such an expensive face mask for your daughter, it’s too extravagant."
"Qian Qian’s grandparents gave her pocket money, besides, a girl wanting to be beautiful isn’t wrong."
Lu Meiyu retorted defiantly, clearly the head of the household.
Tao Shiyong sighed, looking at Yang Cheng, "What do you want me to do? Without concrete evidence, even as county chief, I can’t help."
"The largest cosmetics company in Peach Blossom County is Yan’s Hall, but the mask prices are far from Wenyu’s, far from being competitive, and General Manager Kong wouldn’t sabotage his own venture, so the other party must also be doing high-end cosmetics, and their products include face masks."
"We can investigate who specifically is behind it, but we hope County Chief Tao supports us. Once we get evidence, allow us to operate the factory, and stand up for us to restore our reputation."
Yang Cheng spoke confidently with his plan.
Kong Lingwen and Chu Xiaoyu were surprised; they thought Yang Cheng’s medical skills were excellent but didn’t expect him to handle business matters so well, quickly convincing Tao Shiyong.
Tao Shiyong pondered for a moment, then nodded solemnly, "No problem, as long as you find evidence, I’ll help you make noise."
"Then thank you, County Chief."
Yang Cheng smiled slightly; such incidents aren’t necessarily bad, perhaps an opportunity to boost Wenyu Cosmetics Company’s name.
Seeing their confidence, Tao Shiyong knew they were indeed framed; his attitude softened as he chatted and had tea with Yang Cheng.
Quickly, an hour passed.
"Miss Tao, you can wash off the cream now; if everything’s fine, we won’t disturb you."
Actually, the cream should be applied for six hours, but Yang Cheng didn’t have that much time to wait, so he let it stay for an hour to see the effect.
Tao Qian Qian nodded and went into the bathroom accompanied by Lu Meiyu.
Soon, a scream came from the bathroom.
"Qian Qian, what’s wrong? What happened?"
Tao Shiyong stood up nervously, almost reaching the bathroom door before Lu Meiyu and Tao Qian Qian came out.
Both looked excited, and upon closer inspection, the sores on Tao Qian Qian’s side face had subsided, and the scars had faded significantly.
"My face is really healed!"
Tao Qian Qian was so happy her eyes turned red, holding tightly onto Lu Meiyu’s hand.
