Along the way, Ye Fei finally understood why they were so anxious just now after He Jingyao's explanation.
It turned out that the research and development team of the He family's skincare company had directly defected to their competitors, taking with them the confidential information of a new flagship skincare product the company had developed.
Even more serious was that a large portion of the R&D team had also left, with only the director of the R&D department remaining to hold the fort.
Upon learning the reason, Ye Fei immediately comforted them.
“Since it has come to this, we can only accept it. The most important thing now is to minimize losses.”
“I estimate that the competing company will soon launch your skincare product. Though I am not talented, I have considerable research in this area. If you trust me, you can let me take a look.”
“My master, Qingyi Daoist, is also quite skilled in maintaining youthfulness.”
Ye Fei said with confidence.
“Yes, since you are a disciple of Qingyi Daoist, you must have inherited his true teachings. That’s wonderful, Xiao Fei, Uncle He is entrusting this to you this time!”
He Yuandong, who had been extremely anxious, suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.
Anyone accepted as a disciple by Qingyi Daoist was undoubtedly exceptional.
“We’ve arrived!”
The He family’s company was located in the city center, not far from He Jingyao’s beauty salon, only about a ten-minute drive away.
At this moment, the large conference room of the He Group was brightly lit.
Many senior executives had also rushed to the office.
This news had indeed made everyone restless and caught off guard.
The head of the R&D department was a woman in her thirties, who was also filled with self-blame at the moment, waiting for He Yuandong to arrive.
“Xiao Fei, come into the office with me.”
Ye Fei nodded and followed He Yuandong directly into the conference room.
“Everyone, please settle down and take a seat.”
“Since this has happened, what we need to do is to resolve this crisis.”
“Let’s hear Director Li’s opinion first.”
He Yuandong directly had Ye Fei and He Jingyao sit on either side of him.
“I apologize. This is my negligence. I truly did not expect the people I entrusted with great responsibility to betray us so suddenly. I will resign to take responsibility.”
The R&D Director, Li Wenwen, was also full of self-reproach.
“Director Li, don’t be in a hurry. We will discuss your responsibility later. The most important thing now is how to counter the upcoming product from the Song family’s skincare company.”
“Everyone is welcome to speak up.”
“Let’s brainstorm together.”
He Yuandong stated directly.
Everyone began to discuss, but after a long time, no useful conclusion was reached.
“Everyone, you may be dismissed.”
“Director Li, please stay. We four will discuss further.”
Seeing that everyone was truly unable to come up with a solution, He Yuandong directly dismissed them.
Now, only the four of them remained in the office.
“Uncle He, if you trust me, can I see the formula for the product you were planning to launch?”
Ye Fei inquired.
“Of course, you can. It’s not a secret anymore anyway.”
“This is the formula for the flagship product, but it is missing a few medicinal ingredients. Only the core personnel who were poached would know them now.”
He Yuandong directly handed the formula in his hand to Ye Fei.
Ye Fei scanned it with a glance and immediately understood that it was a whitening product.
However, to Ye Fei, the whitening effect was quite mediocre.
But compared to the products currently on the market, this could indeed be considered a significant breakthrough.
No wonder the other party was willing to pay a hefty sum to poach talent.
“I understand.”
“Uncle He, I already have a plan to deal with this. I can design a skincare product for you with ten times the effect of this whitening essence.”
“However, I will need to find some whitening medicinal ingredients to test first.”
“Are there any deep mountains or forests nearby?”
Ye Fei asked.
“What, ten times the effect?”
“Xiao Fei, are you serious?”
He Yuandong became extremely excited. Ye Fei’s statement was like a bomb, exploding everyone present.
This was truly astonishing.
If it could achieve the effect Ye Fei claimed, it was certain that once this skincare product was launched, it would cause a major upheaval in the entire skincare industry.
Their He family’s skincare company would also become famous overnight.
“Sir, do you know what you are saying?”
“If, as you say, you can achieve such an effect, do you know what that means?”
Director Li also looked skeptical.
After all, what Ye Fei had said was truly astonishing.
“I am not lying. As for the final result, you just wait and see.”
“Words are not proof. I will personally prove it to you.”
Ye Fei said calmly.
“Xiao Fei, since you are so confident, Uncle He will place all his hopes on you.”
“There are indeed quite a few deep mountains and old forests near our Jiangcheng.”
“A portion of our He family’s materials also come from those deep mountains and old forests.”
“If you go straight to the right from the company, you will see a very dense forest.”
“The resources within are exceptionally abundant.”
“However, correspondingly, there are also many dangers inside.”
“Poisonous insects and snakes are everywhere.”
He Yuandong said solemnly.
Mentally, he naturally hoped that Ye Fei could create the skincare product with ten times the effect, but emotionally, he did not want Ye Fei to venture into those deep mountains and forests.
Therefore, he was momentarily conflicted.
“Alright, Uncle He, I understand.”
“You just wait for my triumphant return!”
“You can rest assured, I am a disciple of Qingyi Daoist. I am not as weak as you imagine.”
“I will definitely be back within three days.”
Ye Fei promised.
Of course, Ye Fei’s enthusiasm was also to ensure that the old man would be decisive and let him go when it was time to break off the engagement.
“Ye Fei, you must be careful. We will wait for you here.”
He Jingyao cautioned.
“Don’t worry, you all go back.”
“I’m setting off now.”
After packing everything, Ye Fei immediately headed towards the right side of the company.
It was still not dawn, and Ye Fei was sprinting at an extraordinary speed.
Finally, by the time dawn broke, he had reached the entrance of the deep mountains.
Ye Fei did not dare to be careless and immediately rushed in.
There were two types of medicinal ingredients he was looking for this time: one was called Jinteng Flower, and the other was Xingling Grass, which were the core medicinal ingredients for his beauty cream.
More importantly, these two medicinal ingredients were not picky about their growing environment and could be cultivated on a large scale.
Ye Fei’s speed increased, and he finally arrived at the center of the deep mountains.
Awoooo.
Wolf howls echoed continuously from within the deep mountains.
Ye Fei did not want to waste any more time and continued to rush forward.
