Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!

Chapter 582 - 6: Cinderella and the CEO (Part 6)

A woman adorns herself for the one who pleases her; everyone hopes to be a little more beautiful, with better skin.

After the banquet ended, Li Shuning returned home, and the events of the banquet had already reached her parents’ ears.

As their only daughter, Li Shuning was their precious treasure. To be bullied by Zhu Lun like that was truly hateful. They had misjudged his character, even once thinking he would protect Shuning for a lifetime.

If they really got married, what a disaster it would be!

Back then, the Li Family lent a huge sum of money to the Zhu Family. According to the loan agreement at that time, it’s now time to repay it.

However, the impact of this economic crisis is quite significant. Although the Bumei Consortium secured sufficient funds, getting back to the peak would require a lot of effort and time.

In the storyline, that debt took a long time to be repaid.

The Mingyang Consortium also needed funds for turnover. Since the two families were old friends, they tried to help each other out, resulting in missing an opportunity with a major oil field.

This was also a reason that, in the later stages, allowed the Bumei Consortium to suppress Mingyang.

Because the oil field that Mingyang originally owned encountered problems for some reasons.

If they had that large oil field at that time, they would have been able to recover.

Although the two families didn’t fall out completely, they did cancel the engagement. However, Zhu Lun’s actions made the parents of the original owner very displeased with him.

He was already standing above Li Shuning, using her as a stepping stone.

Zhu Lun’s woman wanted to speak, and Shuning had to accompany her? Even after canceling the engagement, he still dared to come over, which was truly disheartening.

Just because of this point, they wouldn’t help the Zhu Family anymore.

Naturally, they wouldn’t let them delay the repayment either.

When they came to demand repayment, Zhu Lun’s face changed repeatedly.

But borrowing money and repaying debts is only right and natural. If he doesn’t pay, the other party has many ways to retaliate, and it would only make things worse for the consortium.

Zhu Lun had no options. Just when things had started looking better, he had to take out all the working capital from the consortium again to repay the debt.

It could be said that for the Bumei Group, it was a fairly heavy blow.

Even so, they still couldn’t repay all the money.

According to the contract, it required prioritizing the Bumei Bank’s shares for debt settlement.

Zhu Lun was furious.

But he couldn’t do anything about it.

Because of this matter, he was scolded by his father for the first time.

Ever since he was sensible, he had always received praise.

But the more it was like this, the more he hated Li Shuning.

If it weren’t for her, he wouldn’t have ended up like this.

As for Lin Xiaorou, back home with some pillow talk, naturally, she wouldn’t be blamed.

Meanwhile, as Mr. Zhu and Lin Xiaorou were sweetly in love, Li Shuning was getting busier.

The birthday gift given to He Yun that day, after she used it, she found it worked exceptionally well and was very pleased.

She was still young, originally full of freckles on her face which required makeup to cover.

Now, those freckles had faded away, and it was all thanks to Li Shuning.

He Yun first called Li Shuning, then drove herself to the Li Family’s manor.

"Sister Shuning, the ointment you gave me works wonders, look at my face, I’m not wearing makeup today, but if you look closely, you can’t see the freckles anymore. The ointment smells nice too, with a light fragrance when applied, it’s wonderful."

"Sister Shuning, thank you."

Li Shuning chuckled, "As long as it works, that’s good."

"Sister Shuning, I’m here today to discuss serious business with you."

Li Shuning looked at He Yun and then smiled, "Yun, you want to talk about a collaboration with me, don’t you?"

He Yun was a bit excited, "Sister Shuning, I knew you were the smartest."

At this moment, He Yun became earnest.

Although she was only eighteen, anyone coming out of a top consortium is not simple.

"Sister Shuning, as women, our concept of beauty is something you surely understand even more than I do. Your ointment has very strong market potential. I know if you have the intention, with such a good thing, you could produce it yourself and definitely sell it well."

"Today, I’m here with a thick face because our family has its channels in the cosmetics market. If you collaborate with us, wouldn’t it maximize the benefits?"

Seeing Li Shuning deep in thought, He Yun took out a proposal she had made.

"Sister, this is what I have done; you can take a look."

Li Shuning glanced at it and found it quite interesting.

"Sister, I won’t ask about the formula or anything; consider it your technical equity investment, how about that?"

The women’s market is indeed huge.

If there’s money to be made, why refuse?

Besides, Li Shuning doesn’t just have this kind of ointment.

She also has acne removal, whitening, and various other products.

With a clear goal in mind, He Yun and Li Shuning also became much busier.

The He Family had fierce competition, and although He Yun was the youngest and quite spoilt, upon reaching adulthood, she naturally felt the pressure.

She knew she was getting a good deal.

Otherwise, with the Li Family’s capability, they could make a splash on their own.

Regarding profit sharing, Li Shuning had quite an advantage.

The preliminary planning took over a month, producing various products took another month.

In the third month, the products were officially launched.

He Yun even became the brand ambassador for the product herself.

She was pretty and charming, and previously had both photos and videos with and without freckles.

At the product launch, this product stole the spotlight.

In just a week, Shengshi Beauty products went crazy in sales.

He Yun and Li Shuning both made a fortune.

The families that knew of their collaboration understood the situation clearly.

Afterwards, more families came to the Li Family for marriage proposals.

They clearly saw the golden opportunity.

Li Shuning had quite a knack for making money.

In contrast to the bustling scene at the Li Family, the Zhu Family was bleak.

Leaving aside the economic crisis, the Zhu Family was already struggling, not to mention Zhu Lun’s actions made all families wary.

People used to have a good impression of Zhu Lun, who would have thought he’d turn into a fool for a woman?

It’s worth noting, Zhu Lun was once hailed as the most outstanding person in the Zhu Family.

If even the best one turned out like this, who’s to say there aren’t other issues within the Zhu Family?

If Zhu Lun wanted to marry into other wealthy families, it would be rather difficult.

Big families have their own rules of conduct. Someone like Zhu Lun, marrying their child to him would be pushing them into a fire pit.

Likewise, other young members of the Zhu Family were also questioned.

Zhu Lun’s behavior at the banquet offended He Yun, and the He Family was displeased with the Zhu Family, as was the Li Family, furious with Zhu Lun.

This way, if other families still wanted to associate with the Zhu Family, they naturally had to reconsider.

Previously, Zhu Lun was able to handle affairs with ease, but now he was overwhelmed with busyness.

The company faced funding issues, and some of his external collaborations inexplicably failed, making him anxious.

With work keeping him occupied, his little girlfriend naturally got neglected.

PS: Apologies everyone, Xiao Qing worked late, wrote a Chapter, put the child to sleep, and accidentally fell asleep herself. Woke up only to realize it was almost morning, sorry~
