A middle-aged woman with short, light-brown hair in her early forties is having a serious conversation with someone on her cell phone, but her expression shows that she is restless, and she repeatedly bites her lip. Big glasses cover her slanted black eyes, and pink lipstick covers her soft lips, giving her face a beautiful yet serious appearance. Despite her short stature and being slightly chubby, she presents an alluring appearance in a white shirt paired with long jeans. Her DD-cup breasts appear flawlessly round, but her most alluring feature is her long and smooth neck.
"Sigh!" The woman sighed in exasperation after ending their conversation before leaning back in her chair, and she stared up at the ceiling while muttering. "What should I do now? Those people are pressuring this company continuously; even our sales have been steadily declining since my brother-in-law and big sister died, and this company will go bankrupt soon."
The woman then closed her eyes and massaged her head, especially as her problems were too complicated, and she even had difficulty sleeping peacefully every night.
*Knock... Knock...*
"Come in." The woman said this as she continued to massage her head.
Soon, two people entered the room. "What are you thinking about, Aunt Qing? Are you facing a serious problem?"
"Yin'er?" Zhao Qing asked as she suddenly stood up, and she ran to her niece before grabbing Tang Yin's shoulders. "Is it really you? How did you recover so suddenly?"
"Ha ha." Tang Yin laughed softly and hugged her maternal aunt. "It's really me, Aunt Qing."
"I'm glad you've recovered, Yin'er." Zhao Qing said that while hugging her niece back, joyful tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, but she suddenly thought of her nephew. "But... Xiao'er..."
"Aunt Qin, you don't need to worry about Xiao'er, okay? Just like me, Xiao'er has returned safely without the slightest injury." Tang Yin said with a broad smile.
Hearing that, Zhao Qing released Tang Yin from her arms. "Really? Is it true that Xiao'er has returned safely? Why didn't Tang Yuan tell me about the two of you?"
"Aunt Yuan is busy with her clients, so she probably hasn't had time to tell you." Tang Yin then took Zhao Qing to sit beside her on the sofa. "As for Xiao'er, he's currently infiltrating the Ouyang family house by working as Yi An's chauffeur, so he hasn't come to see you yet."
Zhao Qing's expression turned furious after she heard that. "Is Xiao'er insane? Why did he infiltrate those bastard houses by himself? What if something bad happened to him? I was truly sad and depressed after Tang Yuan told me that he fell into that ravine, and it must be a miracle that he was able to survive, but he's actually entered the lion's den now."
Tang Yin sighed in her heart, but she could understand Zhao Qing's worry. She tried to reassure her. "Xiao'er has changed now, and he has become much stronger to protect himself, so you really don't need to worry about him like this."
"But—"
"Trust me, he will be fine at the Ouyang house." Tang Yin then changed their conversation. "Anyway, I want to sell this company, Aunt Qing."
Zhao Qing fell silent for a long time upon hearing that, but her eyes focused on her niece as she continued to blink. Tang Yin waved her hand in front of her face, bringing her back to her senses. "What the hell did you say just now? Why did you want to sell this company? This is your father's last legacy, remember? I won't let you sell this company, and I will try harder to save it from bankruptcy."
"I've been asleep for seven years, but I know this company is dying, Aunt Qing. No matter how hard you try to save it, it's only a matter of time before it goes bankrupt because those people keep pressuring this company." Tang Yin then took three bottles from her bag and placed them in front of her aunt, prompting Zhao Qing to take one and examine it. "Honestly, I feel bad about selling this company, but I think my choice is the best solution for us. After that, I'll start all over again by establishing a new company, and these three products will be my company's mainstay. Therefore, I hope you can understand my decision, and I want you to help me with my company."
The three items are beauty products that Tang Yin created using technology in the primordial divine ark, and since they are from another realm, their qualities are far superior to those of similar items on earth.
Although the materials used were almost no different from those on earth, the manufacture was somewhat more complicated. However, the much more modern equipment in the ark made the manufacturing process much easier, and she also had Xiao Ai, who always helped her wholeheartedly.
Before answering Tang Yin, Zhao Qing first checked the three products one by one, and her eyes kept shaking every time she looked at them. Before long, she looked at her niece with an unusual expression and suspiciously asked. "Where do you get these products?"
Zhao Qing was naturally suspicious because Tang Yin's condition had been very bad in the past seven years, but she suddenly came back with three products that she thought were of super quality, and she also seemed to know the company's problems clearly.
"You don't need to be suspicious of me like this, Aunt Qing. At least I'm back and healthy, and I'm much better than seven years ago." Tang Yin sighed helplessly, seeing her maternal aunt's expression. However, Zhao Qing was always like that since she and Tang Xiao were little, so she wasn't too surprised by his attitude. "By the way, I got these three products from my friend, and he will provide them for me. Besides, we won't sell them to anyone else, and we will sell them exclusively to my company."
"Your friend?" Zhao Ying became increasingly suspicious because Tang Yin didn't have many friends before she fell into a coma, and the last seven years were not a short time. She then turned towards Xiao Ai, who was leisurely sitting beside her niece. "Who is this little girl?"
"Hehe, I forgot to introduce her to you." Tang Yin chuckled while rubbing the little girl's head. "Her name is Xiao Ai, and she is my friend's younger sister. Although she is still small now, she is a genius, and these three products are her creations, so let her explain their benefits to you."
Zhao Qing was stunned by Tang Yin's answer, and she looked at Xiao Ai, who was smiling sweetly at her, but she found it hard to believe that a little girl around ten years old like her could create such products.
"Aunt Qing, these three products are my own creations." Xiao Ai then explained to Zhao Qing the ingredients and benefits of the three products.
Zhao Qing was even more dumbfounded after listening to Xiao Ai's explanation, as she explained everything smoothly and confidently like an adult who had a lot of experience. 'Are the little kids these days as smart as her?'
Xiao Ai felt helpless in her heart because of Zhao Qing's reaction. "Aunt Qing, I dare to guarantee that these products will sell well on the market, and I will also add several other products later, but we will start with these three first."
Zhao Qing nodded in understanding and did not doubt Xiao Ai's words, as she could see the qualities of the three. However, her heart felt heavy about selling the company that her big sister and brother-in-law had worked so diligently to build. "What exactly are your plans with your new company, Yin'er?"
"Aunt Qing, those people will not stop pressuring us if we continue to use this company. Therefore, I want to set up a new company with a different name and operate in a different field, and I will use it to destroy them." Zhao Qing understood that, but she still had many doubts about her niece's plans. She didn't interrupt Tang Yin and let her continue her explanation. "For now, we just need to set up a small company so those people won't be suspicious of us. That's why I want to buy two buildings, one for our office and one for a retail store to sell these products. Since online commerce is more popular now, I will open an online shop to market them."
Zhao Qing agreed with her niece, as setting up a large company and a shop directly would not be profitable for them, and online commerce was much more popular recently. "Then?
"For starters, we need at least five people, and both of us will be directly involved in the company. Three people will help us manage the online store, and two other people will take care of packaging and shipping." In fact, Tang Yin also had several other plans, but she didn't want to rush them all, or things would become messy. "Apart from that, we also need someone to be an ambassador for our products, and that person must be a woman because our products are beauty products."
"Since the two of us will handle everything directly, five people should be sufficient to launch our new business in the online market. We will look for workers in our retail stores through advertisements, and we will select them later." Zhao Qing searched through her memory for someone who would be the most suitable ambassador for their product. "As for the woman who will be our star, I think I already have an idea, but I need to contact her and discuss this with her first."
Tang Yin nodded at her. "I'll leave that person to you, but I only want to recruit female employees, and they have to be pretty and lively."
"Hmm?" Zhao Qing frowned after hearing that. "Why do they have to be women?"
"Have you forgotten what happened to me back then, Aunt Qing? Even though I've forgotten about it, I'm still being uncomfortable around strange men; therefore, I only want some female employees to help us. Xiao Ai will take care of the company's website and other things later, so you don't have to think about them." Tang Yin handed Zhao Qing an ATM card. "There's five hundred million yuan in it, so you can use it to buy two buildings, and the rest will be our initial capital."
"Five hundred million yuan? How did you earn that much money?" Zhao Qing asked with wide eyes, and Tang Yin's feat made her even more suspicious. Moreover, she felt that her niece had become completely different from seven years ago, and her character was much more mature than women of her age, plus she had even planned everything out in great detail.
Tang Yin felt confused about telling Zhao Qing that she ordered Xiao Ai to rob the Ran family of their wealth because she was different from Tang Yuan, and she was sure that her maternal aunt would find it difficult to believe her words, especially regarding all the technology and the primordial divine ark. "Aunt Qing, I will explain everything to you later, and we must start my plan immediately, as I can't wait to destroy those bastards who killed my parents and destroyed our family."
"Okay, I'll carry out all your plans immediately," Zhao Ying replied, nodding in agreement. "However, I won't sell this company because it's your parents' inheritance."
Tang Yin let out a heavy sigh and lifted Xiao Ai to her feet. "In that case, I will wait for news from you, Aunt Qing."
