"Just saw it. So? What's that got to do with us?"

Ding Chengjun responded casually.

But his secretary's urgency made him furrow his brows again.

"Mr. Ding, do you know who developed the Flawless Cream?" the secretary pressed.

"Are you saying it was Pang Jun?"

In an instant, Ding Chengjun's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Yes, the Flawless Cream is under the brand 'Like Snow.' The predecessor of Like Snow was Lezi Company, which was acquired and renamed. Pang Jun is now the vice president of Like Snow. He developed the Flawless Cream!" the secretary explained rapidly.

Upon hearing this, Ding Chengjun's calm demeanor cracked.

No one knew Pang Jun better than he did.

If the Flawless Cream was indeed Pang Jun's creation, then its advertised effects weren't just a marketing gimmick.

But... how could this happen in just a few months?

Such a groundbreaking product – something even elite Western brands couldn't achieve – how did Pang Jun manage to develop it in such a short time?

It was absurd.

"Mr. Ding, we've known Pang Jun for years. If the Flawless Cream really is his work, the claims of visible results in seven days and significant improvement in two weeks might not be exaggerated. Also, the brand is offering a money-back guarantee if ineffective. This isn't impulsive – it shows their absolute confidence in the product's effectiveness!"

Seeing Ding Chengjun's increasingly grim expression, the secretary continued.

"Mr. Ding, if the Flawless Cream is as effective as advertised, it will quickly dominate the market through word-of-mouth. At 399 yuan, it will swallow up the competition. Our skincare line, Yun Dai, is our main revenue stream. If Flawless Cream gains traction, it could render our products obsolete. It not only claims to remove scars but also whitens, reduces spots, treats acne, and fades marks – an all-in-one solution!"

"What a load of nonsense! Scar removal, whitening, acne treatment – all in one? Are they claiming it's some kind of miracle cream? There's no way such a thing exists! Even if it did, developing it in just a few months is impossible. And pricing it at 399? Ridiculous! Absolutely impossible!"

Ding Chengjun shook his head, refusing to believe it.

He couldn't accept that Pang Jun had created something this revolutionary – especially after he had shut down Pang Jun's no-scar cream project and fired him.

If Pang Jun had truly turned the concept of Flawless Cream into reality...

Not only had he missed out on a gold mine, but Yun Dai could also face complete market disruption.

Flawless Cream's functionality directly competed with multiple Yun Dai products.

"Go. Buy ten bottles of Flawless Cream immediately. Test it and have our lab analyze the formula."

Ding Chengjun tugged at his collar, trying to suppress his anxiety.

"Got it. I'll place the order right away," the secretary replied.

"Wait. Don't you still have Pang Jun's WeChat? Reach out and see if you can get any information from him," Ding Chengjun added.

The secretary smiled bitterly.

"I tried, Mr. Ding. He deleted me. I suspect he deleted you too. It seems he doesn't want anything to do with us anymore."

Ding Chengjun froze for a moment.

But recalling Pang Jun's eccentric nature, deleting contacts wasn't out of character.

"Forget it. Just order the cream!"

The secretary nodded and left.

Alone in his office, Ding Chengjun sank into deep thought.

A heavy sense of unease grew within him.

He understood the implications if the Flawless Cream's advertised results were real.

The self-made founder of Yun Dai, who built his fortune thanks to Pang Jun's innovations, felt an increasing dread.

Had he made a mistake by halting Pang Jun's project and firing him?

Ding Chengjun didn't know.

But regret had already begun to take root in his heart.

And Yun Dai wasn't the only company feeling this way.

Other companies that had dismissed Pang Jun were beginning to regret their decisions too.

Tracking down the creator of Flawless Cream wasn't difficult for them.

One by one, companies that had branded Pang Jun as a lunatic began to feel remorse.

Had they known he could develop such a product in just three months, would they have cast him aside?

But there was no turning back now.

Companies scrambled to place orders through Like Snow's official website and flagship stores.

Just like Ding Chengjun, they sought to test and analyze the product.

Even though Flawless Cream's efficacy was still unproven, it had already captured the industry's attention.

Meanwhile, as night fell, Ye Chen and Chen Yinuo shared an intimate moment.

Afterward, exhausted and content, they drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, the buzz around Flawless Cream continued to stir the internet.

Influential voices and industry experts labeled it a scam, claiming no current technology – not even in the West – could produce such a groundbreaking product.

Though no evidence discredited Flawless Cream yet, critics were relentless.

Despite the skepticism, curiosity drove sales higher.

The night before, only 30,000 units had been sold during a live stream.

By the following day, total sales across all platforms had approached 50,000.

If Flawless Cream turned out to be a scam, Like Snow would face severe consequences.

But Ye Chen wasn't concerned.

With the foundation laid, Like Snow's path was set.

After waking late and enjoying breakfast prepared by Yinuo, Ye Chen retreated to his study.

Relying on memories from his past life, he logged into an angel investment platform...
