Murong Xue's words might be simple, but what she said made Mo Changfengtrust her. At this moment, she was confident, insightful, decisive, intelligent, and resourceful. Mo Changfeng had thought highly of Murong Xue, and now he felt she deserved to be his counterpart.

Mo Aili also added timely, "Grandfather, I believe in Xue."

Observing the girls' determined faces for a while, Mo Changfeng answered, "Since Aili trusts you, let the facts speak for yourself. Take it easy. The Mo Family will be your shelter, so just do it."

Murong Xue gave him a firm nodding, "Grandpa Mo, thank you for believing me. I won't let you down."

Mo Changfeng could tell from her fearless look that she would be the Murong Family's pride. "Then, looking forward to your success."

Deep inside, Mo Changfeng knew that his family had many foes out there and he was unable to protect his grandson and his granddaughter forever. The best way for them was to grow up and be independent. Mo Changfeng had wanted to start training Mo Aili in another two years, so he gladly agreed when his granddaughter offered to do it herself. Besides, Murong Xue had earned his trust. Even if things went wrong, he was able to take care of them for now.

Murong Xue smiled, "I'm sure we'll make it."

Mo Aili held Murong Xue's hands with joy and her eyes were glowing. "Xue, Grandfather agreed. Now, I have goals to achieve and I'm no longer wandering. Thank you for all of these."

The Mo Family was influential in both politics and the military. Mo Changfeng was the chief of the warlords and Mo Liufeng was his outstanding successor. Besides, the Mo Family also set foot in business and many of Mo Aili's peers were doing well. Therefore, Mo Aili had been very stressed in such a family. No matter how hard-working she was, she had always been taken only as the chief's granddaughter. She had been longing for making her own way and getting rid of her grandfather and brother's shadow.

Luckily, what Murong Xue came up with now showed her a path forward and lit up her world. She finally had something to strive for.

Murong Xue smiled back, "I also want to thank you." She wanted to thank Mo Aili for being her friend in this life.

Looking at the two, Mo Changfeng could see their eyes were shining the light of friendship and dream.

In his eyes, it was very fortunate for his granddaughter to have Murong Xue, a tactful and sophisticated person, as her friend.

The next day, Murong Xue took out a set of skincare products developed by herself from the Space, and then she drove straight to Lizi Pavilion.

Lizi Pavilion was the first choice for upper-class women to maintain their beauty and its business proliferated the whole world. So, if she wanted to promote her products as fast as possible, Lizi Pavilion was her best potential partner.

Murong Xue entered the office of Lizi Pavilion and met its manager Li Xiangjie, who was in a light-green suit that was perfect for a capable and experienced working woman.

"Hello, Miss Li. Do you have a minute?" asked Murong Xue with a smile.

Li Xiangjie was startled that Miss Murong would want to talk with her and she wondered what they could talk about. But she saw the sincere smile on Murong Xue's face. "Please sit down. What can I help you with, Miss Murong?"

Sitting face to face with her, Murong Xue acted calmly and answered, "Let me get this straight. I'm going to start a company that sells beauty products made from Chinese medicine and I want to cooperate with Lizi Pavilion. What do you think?"

Li Xiangjie was surprised that Misses now should plan to start a business at such a young age. "Miss Murong, you must be kidding. There were only Lizi Pavilion's own products, and we are not planning to invite other brands here." Since Lizi Pavilion was the leading company in this field, Li Xiangjie found it unnecessary to advertise other brands.

Murong Xue fixed her eyes on her and continued, "Miss Li, don’t refuse me so quickly. My products are very competitive. Why don't you have a look first?"

Now Li Xiangjie knew Murong Xue was not joking, so she became more serious. "Miss Murong, I don't want to put a damper on you, but it's hardly possible to develop your own skincare products based on Chinese medicine. You know, there are so many companies doing this in Country A, but few have made it. Research and development alone could spend money like water, and the industry is still immature."

Without interrupting her, Murong Xue listened carefully and nodded along.

Li Xiangjie went on, "KH was listed two years ago and it also used Chinese medicine to advertise their products at first. However, it's just a third-rated brand now."

Having listened to her, Murong Xue asked, "What if I have successfully replicated products once used in the Palace, acquired the full prescriptions, and tried them myself? Will you consider our cooperation?"

"How could that be?" asked Li Xiangjie suspiciously, wide-eyed.

Murong Xue laughed, "Of course, it's possible, and that's why I came here. There is a set of skincare products I'm going to sell. You can have a try and give me your answer later. Believe me, you won't regret it." She took the products out of the bag and handed them to Li Xiangjie.

Taking over the sample from Murong Xue, Li Xiangjie unwrapped the products immediately. The moment she opened the cap, a smell of refreshing fragrance possessed her, which was different from the chemical flavoring of current products in the market. She could give the products a high score for the fragrance alone.

Li Xiangjie applied a little to her hands, which was comfortable and cool. More importantly, it was absorbed instantly, and she found that her hand skin became smooth at once. Li Xiangjie now felt that she had met products of divine quality.

So when she looked at Murong Xue again, her eyes were filled with surprise.

Then Murong Xue took out a report. "Miss Li, this is the test report of my products. You can rest assured that everything is plant-based."

Li Xiangjie took the report and leafed through it, and her surprise grew greater. She wondered how Murong Xue managed to develop such good products totally based on plants. If she had been the decision-maker, she would have said yes now. "Miss Murong, I need to report to my superiors before giving you an answer."

Li Xiangjie now knew that she had underestimated the nineteen-year-old Miss. During their conversation, she found Murong Xue was more like a confident veteran instead of an innocent girl.

Murong Xue nodded in agreement. She knew Li Xiangjie could not decide it herself, so what she had wanted was the manager reported to her boss. "Yes, please. I will show you my gratitude after the deal."

Li Xiangjie answered respectfully, "You're welcome. It's my job."

After leaving Lizi Pavilion, Murong Xue drove to the headquarter of Rise Group.

In the CEO Office,

Murong Xue gathered three key members together: Gu Ming, Luo Shengfei, Mo Ziwen.

She told them about her plan of starting a skincare product company in detail. She asked them to help each other as the company was also theirs.

Then Murong Xue asked Gu Ming, "Gu Ming, is everything okay here? I have been too busy to come here recently."

"Rise Group is running well. But I only managed to buy five-thousand-acre land in Donghuan. The trade was completed neatly, and papers needed about trainees were finished as well. There are their materials. Besides, someone wants to buy our land at a price that is 5 times higher than what it's worth. A considerable sum of money." Gu Ming did not fake his surprise. That land was barren and desolate, so it never occurred to him that someone would want to buy it and make such a good offer.

Yet Murong Xue was very calm, "No matter how much others offer, the land is not for sale. It's worth way more than that. By the way, Gu Ming, have the raw materials from the capital arrived?"

Gu Ming recalled that a lot of raw materials were sent to the company a few days ago, which were up to 1,000 stones. He did not expect that Murong Xue had bought so many. "Yes, they are all in the company's basement storage now, still unprocessed."

Murong Xue nodded, "Well, cut all of the stones when master workers are available. Ziwen, have all the veterans' families been settled down?"

Mo Ziwen had been staring at Murong Xue since she came there. Without being around her for more than a month, he had been worrying about her, wondering if she was safe and if she met rascals. Seeing her back now, he finally felt relieved.

He found Murong Xue appeared more beautiful and glowing now, and he could not take his eyes off her. Mo Ziwen spoke after suppressing his inner turmoil, "Yes. There are 15 wounded people. As for their families, everyone except a few children asks to work, so where do you want to place them?"

Murong Xue thought for a while and answered, "Our Medical Department needs many hands to sort out the materials in the workshop. Places like the staff canteen need workers and many other places also need cleaners. Let the human resources department take care of the details. By the way, people who are going to the Medical Department need professional training to guarantee that they won't damage the materials. As for the 15 wounded veterans, you pick a day to gather them together, and I will treat them."

"Then Xue, when are you available?" asked Mo Ziwen.

"I'm free in the following two or three days. Now I'm allowed to study at home, so my leisure time increases a lot. Oh, Shengfei, how about production in the Medical Department? Is there anything wrong with the prescription?"

Luo Shengfei replied, "According to your arrangement, different workshops are in charge of different materials, and all the materials are synthesized into the drug at last. We've produced a small amount of the drug and the State Drug Administration's test turns out to be fine. It can be put into massive production and we can start marketing after your check."
