Chapter 1177 Starting A Business
Song Yaoyao sat on the observation deck on the second floor after she came back. Huo Yunque came over after Huo Qi reported to him.
The girl was hugging her legs as she sat in a chair, staring at the sky in a daze.
She was surrounded by a heavy pressure that could not be removed.
Huo Yunque walked over with light steps and bent down to hug her from behind.
"What's wrong?"
"Gege?"
Song Yaoyao's eyelids trembled as she came back to her senses.
She turned her head and rubbed her face against Huo Yunque's. Her voice was low as she said, "I can't figure it out."
"Hmm? Is it convenient for you to tell me?" Huo Yunque asked gently.
Song Yaoyao moved and reached out to Huo Yunque for a hug.
Huo Yunque turned to the front and carried Song Yaoyao up. He sat down on Song Yaoyao's original seat while Song Yaoyao sat in his arms.
She did not move at all, just like a big, obedient doll.
Song Yaoyao told him everything that she had discovered. "I have a feeling that something isn't right. How could I find out about it so easily..."
Shouldn't she be hiding behind Zhongli Xue and secretly making things difficult for her?
Huo Yunque lowered his eyes, his gaze dark and unclear.
He gently stroked Song Yaoyao's hair and did not explain anything. Instead, he left the matter to her.
"If you can't figure it out, you can put it aside for now. Maybe it's not the right time. Maybe one day you'll understand."
Song Yaoyao lifted her head and glanced at him. She pursed her lips and said, "I still want your opinion!"
"Do you want me to help you investigate?" Huo Yunque chuckled.
Song Yaoyao immediately shook her head when she heard this. "No!"
She pursed her lips and snuggled into Huo Yunque's embrace. "I can't rely on you for everything. Besides, I feel that everything is predestined. I can only end it myself."
"You..."
Huo Yunque knew this, which was why he did not interfere. The truth was, if he really wanted to know, Song Yaoyao wouldn't be able to hide anything from him.
He could indeed protect Song Yaoyao under his wing for the rest of his life, but the Song Yaoyao he knew was not the kind of girl who was willing to be a leech. She had her own ideas and her own career.
"Just do whatever you want." Huo Yunque held her in his arms as if he was coaxing a child. "I won't let you get hurt again."
Even if it meant making an enemy out of the whole world.
...
"What's this?"
Xia Rao was coaxing her child. As the child had grown older, she felt much more relaxed. She handed the child to the nanny, washed her hands, and opened the document bag.
When she saw what was inside, Xia Rao was pleasantly surprised.
She immediately looked up at Song Yaoyao. "Yaoyao, this is..."
Song Yaoyao smiled and squatted beside the child, poking his chubby little face. "Didn't you say that you wanted to work with me and do business together? Or Sister Xia Rao, do you want to stay at home and take care of your children now?"
"How can that be?"
Xia Rao was delighted as she scolded her. Her eyes were moving and charming, making people unable to take their eyes off her.
After giving birth, Xia Rao had gained some weight. She stayed at home every day and didn't have much contact with the sun, so her skin was as white as milk. Moreover, it was soft and comparable to a newborn baby's.
"Sister Xia Rao, are you still using the previous formula?"
"Yes," Xia Rao touched her skin and sighed. "My skin was considered good in the past, but it's still far from what it is now. Yaoyao, if your skincare products are mass-produced, they would definitely sell out!" she said confidently. The product hadn't been made yet, but she was extremely confident.
Song Yaoyao's dimples were deep, and when she smiled, her eyes were curved like crescent moons. "Is Sister Xia Rao that confident in me?"
"Do you even need to ask?"
Xia Rao threw her a look, touched her face, and lifted her chin slightly. "When I step out, it's a perfect example. Just you wait. I've already thought of how to create a scene."
Actually, Song Yaoyao didn't care. The skincare products she made were only passed down to a few familiar relatives and friends. The effects were different for each person's skin type.
For example, if Tang Xinrou had dry skin, she would need to hydrate. Mother Tang was already in her fifties, so she needed anti-aging and anti-wrinkling. Xia Rao and Lin Shuang were in their thirties, a time to fight against premature senility. They needed something for fine lines and whitening skin compared to Mother Tang.
Actually, other than Mrs. Tang and the others, some wealthy ladies were also interested. This was because every time they gathered, they began to discover that Mrs. Tang's skin was getting tighter and more lustrous, as if she was twenty years younger. At first, there were people who suspected that Mrs. Tang had gone for cosmetic surgery such as a skin lift. But this was something that many of them had done; no one ended up with the same result as Mrs. Tang.
After many indirect inquiries, coupled with the fact that Mrs. Tang had heard about Xia Rao and Song Yaoyao's plans, she decided to create hype for her. That was why she said, "Oh my, this is all thanks to Song Yaoyao. She is really capable. Not only does she have good medical skills, but in terms of skincare, she is way ahead of those high-end products!"
With that said, everyone came to a sudden realization and firmly believed Mrs. Tang's words.
Mrs. Tang had connections and could get Song Yaoyao to make personal care products for her every day. However, they didn't have a promising daughter who could be good friends with Song Yaoyao. They could only get a little from Mrs. Tang to try. As for begging Song Yaoyao...
Even the big shots who were begging for her treatment were lining up. Were they going to trouble her for cosmetic reasons? If word got out, it would attract a lot of hatred!
Moreover, Song Yaoyao was the future mistress of the Huo Family that everyone in the Huo Family had acknowledged.
Was she short of money? Or was she short of power?
Without any relations, who would dare to ask her to make these little things?
...
After Song Yaoyao gave Xia Rao the documents that day, she didn't worry anymore. Her funds were in place, and the prescriptions were recorded. She invested the technology and money, and Xia Rao would manage the production and external publicity.
Xia Rao had developed a great reputation in the entertainment industry over the years. She had skills, projects to her name, and no scandals. Other than her fans, passersby also had a good impression of her.
If she opened up to the market, she wouldn't have to worry about having no sales.
From the moment Song Yaoyao saw the faces of those people in her dream, she had been investigating Song Jingwan. However, after Zhongli Wan exposed herself, the clues were all gone.
Song Yaoyao was left with a lot of questions.
Why did Song Jingwan go abroad? Who was the person supporting her? Could it be that Zhong Li was the one who took her away?
However, in Song Yaoyao's investigation, Zhong Li had never been to China before. This was his first time here, and he had brought a lot of investment to the country.
Song Yaoyao was confused for a few days before she finally decided to listen to Huo Yunque.
Since she couldn't figure it out, she didn't want to think about it anymore.
If Song Jingwan still wanted to deal with her, then the people behind her would reveal themselves sooner or later. Song Yaoyao could afford to wait.
