Chapter 302: Chapter 280: The Xuanfeng Alliance Is Actually President Lu’s

...

In the main hall.

When Baguda saw Lu Feng return, he approached with a smile. "Governor, have you brought them back?"

At the word "Governor," everyone except Lin Yao, who already knew the truth, was stunned. Yang Qingxue, Liao Liyan, and Zhou Ling all stood with their mouths agape in astonishment.

"G-Governor?" Liao Liyan stared blankly at Zhou Ling.

’That Baguda is the Vice Governor, and he’s calling President Lu ’Governor’?’

Their scalps tingled with shock.

’Isn’t the Governor the highest authority in the Xuanfeng Alliance?’

’Does President Lu call all the shots in the entire Xuanfeng Alliance?’

They had been wondering just how big President Lu’s business dealings were in the Xuanfeng Alliance, but this was beyond their wildest imaginations.

Yang Qingxue was so shocked she instinctively covered her mouth.

She had never imagined her boyfriend held such a status.

Lu Feng made the introductions. "Baguda, this is my girlfriend, Yang Qingxue. The other three are Lin Yao, Liao Liyan, and Zhou Ling. I’ve brought them here to manage the facial mask business."

"Welcome, welcome! If you four ladies encounter any difficulties in the Xuanfeng Alliance, please let me know. I will resolve them for you as quickly as possible," Baguda said with great enthusiasm, inviting the women to take their seats.

"Let’s all have a seat." After Lu Feng led the group to the table, Baguda had the food brought out.

One dish after another was served, along with several specially packaged bottles of Dream-Returning Wine.

Liao Liyan and Zhou Ling looked at the Dream-Returning Wine and quickly spoke up.

"President Lu, perhaps we shouldn’t drink the Dream-Returning Wine? I’m afraid I’ll make a fool of myself."

"That’s right. This wine is better suited for drinking at home alone, or maybe at a nightclub."

Even Lin Yao couldn’t help but chuckle and nod.

Evidently, they had all tried Dream-Returning Wine before.

After all, the first and largest batch of Dream-Returning Wine had gone to Yang Ming’s distribution company, and it had long since taken Tianzhou City by storm.

They had to admit, the Dream-Returning Wine was truly magical. Whether you drank it while happy, sad, nostalgic, or triumphant, it would immerse you completely in that emotion.

Lu Feng nodded and had someone take the wine away.

After they had eaten for a bit, Lin Yao asked curiously, "President Lu, could you tell us why you’ve brought us all the way here?"

Her words made Liao Liyan and Zhou Ling look over as well.

This was, indeed, their biggest question.

After all, it concerned the future of their careers.

Lu Feng nodded. "The Xuanfeng Alliance has developed a type of facial mask and plans to establish an official company for it. The masks are already in mass production, and we will be participating in the International Skincare Products Day exhibition."

"The Xuanfeng Alliance doesn’t have a suitable person to lead this project, so I had to transfer you all from back home."

"A facial mask?" Lin Yao was taken aback.

There were countless facial masks on the market back home, and as someone who ran a beauty salon with Yang Qingxue, she had seen them all.

She never would have expected that President Lu, a man with such a massive business and such high status in the Xuanfeng Alliance, would venture into something like facial masks.

Zhou Ling, however, asked, "President Lu, how effective is this facial mask?"

Liao Liyan also looked toward Lu Feng.

Their thinking was clearly different from Lin Yao’s.

’President Lu isn’t just the boss of Qingfeng Network Company; he also holds such a high position in the Xuanfeng Alliance. If he specifically transferred the two of us here, this facial mask developed by the Xuanfeng Alliance must be something special, right?’

Especially with the precedent set by the Xuanfeng Alliance’s other product, the Dream-Returning Wine.

That was why Zhou Ling had asked the core question directly.

They knew the market was flooded with facial masks, but very few were truly effective—and those that were, were prohibitively expensive.

Lu Feng glanced at Zhou Ling, impressed. ’Professional managers really are a different breed,’ he thought.

Although Lin Yao and Yang Qingxue had run their beauty salon in Tianzhou City very well, much of that success was due to the reputation of him and his cousin, Yang Ming.

Lu Feng smiled and explained, "The mask’s effects are magical. As for how magical? Think of the Dream-Returning Wine."

Liao Liyan and Zhou Ling instinctively exchanged a glance.

They understood!

’Just how magical is the Dream-Returning Wine? Anyone who tries it once is hooked, and it took the market by storm the moment it was released.’

’If this facial mask’s magic is comparable to the Dream-Returning Wine, it means it will also take the market by storm upon release.’

’In other words, its effects must be absolutely incredible. Only then could it possibly become an instant sensation.’

Then, another thought occurred to them. If the mask really was that effective, it went without saying that this Xuanfeng Alliance company would be a massive success.

’The key is, within the Xuanfeng Alliance, this facial mask company would be considered a state-owned enterprise, wouldn’t it?’

’And if it becomes an incredibly powerful state-owned enterprise...’

The two women glanced at each other again. They knew full well that the same position at an external company, even at giants like Penguin or Qingfeng Network Company, was in no way comparable to one at a state-owned enterprise.

’Can a manager at a tech company even compare to a manager at a state-owned enterprise?’

’Absolutely not.’

Now, they seemed to have the chance to run a potentially formidable state-owned enterprise in the Xuanfeng Alliance. The prospects were infinitely better than at Qingfeng Network Company.

They even started wondering if they should apply for Xuanfeng Alliance citizenship.

After all, this was a rare opportunity.

Sometimes, a single opportunity like this can completely change the course of your life. It all depends on whether you have the courage to make the choice.

Lin Yao asked curiously, "President Lu, can we try this mask?"

Yang Qingxue, Liao Liyan, and Zhou Ling also turned to Lu Feng eagerly. They, too, wanted to see this facial mask that was said to be as magical as the Dream-Returning Wine.

Lu Feng nodded and instructed Baguda, "Baguda, have someone bring over some Xuanfeng Facial Masks!"

"Right away, Governor." Baguda immediately picked up his phone and made a call. A short while later, his secretary, Kerana, rushed in with a bag of facial masks.

Baguda smiled at the four women. "Ladies, this is our Xuanfeng Facial Mask. Please, try it. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed."

Thanks to the Qingfeng Intelligent Assistant’s translation, the four women understood immediately. They asked where the restroom was and then all rushed toward it together.

Half an hour later, Yang Qingxue and the other three women returned to the table, their faces etched with shock. They had all removed their makeup. But after using the Xuanfeng Facial Mask, their faces were fair, radiant, and incredibly supple, as if they had just had a hyaluronic acid injection.

"Lu Feng, this mask is incredible!" Yang Qingxue said, her face full of astonishment.

Lin Yao chimed in with her agreement. She and Yang Qingxue had been in the beauty industry for years and had used all sorts of high-end international masks, but none of them had ever produced an effect like this.

The effect of the Xuanfeng Facial Mask was simply heaven-defying.

Now she understood why it was described as being as magical as the Dream-Returning Wine. Once this mask hit the market, any woman with even a slight interest in beauty would be unable to resist buying it.

This product was guaranteed to be a hit.

When that happened, the facial mask company was sure to become wildly successful.

Liao Liyan and Zhou Ling were also beaming with delight. The mask’s effectiveness gave them even more confidence and strengthened their resolve.

By joining the Xuanfeng Alliance, as long as they could develop this facial mask company successfully, they would achieve an influential position that no company back home could offer.

"President Lu, when can we start?" Liao Liyan asked immediately.

Zhou Ling nodded as well.

Faced with such a monumental opportunity, they were eager to get started right away.

Lu Feng smiled. "First, take a day to rest properly. I’ll have Baguda make the arrangements. After that, your first tasks will be to figure out the pricing and then recruitment. As it happens, the Xuanfeng Alliance has more women than men, so you’ll have no trouble hiring enough female employees for the mask factory."

The two women immediately nodded.

When the meal ended, the others tactfully took their leave, giving Lu Feng and Yang Qingxue some private time together.

"So, where am I staying?" Yang Qingxue asked charmingly, seeing that everyone else had gone.

"What do you think?" Lu Feng swept Yang Qingxue into his arms and headed upstairs.

As the saying goes, a brief separation is more passionate than a honeymoon, and he was certainly eager to prove it.

Lu Feng carried Yang Qingxue into the room and immediately headed for the most suitable place for a roll in the sheets.

But at the same time, his attention was drawn to the game world on the screen in his mind. In the forest view, Hu Xin had appeared again, and she was once more holding that communicator.

He watched as she moved quickly in one direction, eventually arriving at a small mountain hollow.

There, a gaunt man was already waiting for her.

Through the game’s perspective, Lu Feng witnessed a shocking scene: a pack of mutated hyenas had gathered in the hollow.

The mutated hyenas looked ferocious, baring their fangs and snarling.

Lu Feng knew they were undoubtedly being prepared for him.

But in this situation, he couldn’t be bothered with that. Having sex with Yang Qingxue was the real business at hand.

「In the game world.」

Hu Xin looked at the dense pack of hyenas, a smile spreading across her face. "These will be Lu Feng’s gravediggers!"
