Xu Shan nodded like a chick pecking rice.
A respectful smile adorned his face.
He wanted to chat with Elder Ye a little longer, but seeing that the latter had no such intention, he said no more. After hanging up the phone, he felt somewhat relieved that at least the Ye family had not forgotten the kindness of the past.
To put it bluntly, even if the Ye family ignored the Xu family, they would have had no grounds for complaint.
And so, the night passed quickly.
The next day, Xu Shan and his entourage, early in the morning, brought Xu Long to leave Lin City.
The urgent priority now was to have the Ye family heal Xu Long's injuries.
As for other matters, they were of no concern.
Xu Lili came to see Xu Shan and said, "Grandpa, how do you plan to deal with Bing Qing Cosmetics?"
Xu Shan said sternly, "Since they refuse to be sensible, let them never dream of entering the southern market. The rest is up to you. Grandpa believes you can handle it!"
Xu Lili nodded, "Okay, I understand!"
Xu Shan said no more and left with Xu Long.
With Xu Shan's instructions, Xu Lili began to strategize.
Bing Qing Cosmetics was currently very popular, its momentum surpassing the Xu family's Yi Pin Huang. Consequently, many distributors began to covet this market share.
This made Xu Lili feel very uncomfortable.
Therefore, she found a quiet place and initiated a video conference.
Those present today were distributors from the southern cosmetics industry, essentially dependents of the Xu family.
Xu Lili directly stated the purpose of the meeting: to absolutely prevent Bing Qing Cosmetics products from entering the southern market.
The people in the meeting, out of respect for the Xu family's influence, all agreed.
They also pledged their loyalty to the Xu family and so on…
Hearing their words, Xu Lili's face finally showed a satisfied smile, tinged with a bit of smugness.
"Hmph, Xia Bingqing, with our Xu family here, your Bing Qing Cosmetics will never enter the southern market!"
"Even if it rots and stinks, it won't!"
After a while, the meeting concluded.
On the side of Bing Qing Cosmetics, Xia Bingqing arrived at the company with a grim expression.
That's right, due to the events of the past couple of days, she had issued a public announcement and held a small press conference, which had helped to quell the uproar.
However, the Xia family, due to a recent video scandal, had also lost considerable face.
They had become the subject of widespread gossip.
A moment later, Liu Wenwen walked in and asked gently, "Qingqing, how are you?"
"Don't be unhappy, calm down!"
Xia Bingqing said gravely, "I'm not angry, just frustrated. Bing Qing Cosmetics doesn't want to be enemies with them, yet they treat us as such, wishing to see us dead…"
Liu Wenwen immediately chimed in, "That's the old saying, 'The kind are bullied by the wicked.' Since they want to destroy us, why should we yield to them? If that Xu Lili wants to ruin us, why don't we strike back directly?"
Xia Bingqing felt that Liu Wenwen's words made perfect sense, "I was thinking the same thing!"
"Immediately gather everyone and hold a meeting!"
"Certainly!"
Subsequently, Xia Bingqing convened a meeting, explaining her intentions.
All the executives present listened, their fighting spirit ignited, and their opinions united.
"General Manager Xia, the Xu family keeps pressuring us, trying to trample us. We absolutely cannot bow our heads anymore!"
"That's right, continuing to bow our heads will only embolden them and make them think we're easy targets!"
"Yes, General Manager Xia, we think your plan is feasible!"
"Good…" Xia Bingqing was delighted, a smile appearing on her face. She already had a very detailed plan in mind.
