Gu Xiyan slowly walked onto the stage, her gaze fixating on the assembled media reporters below.
"Click, click!"
Immediately, the media raised their cameras and began frantically snapping photos of Gu Xiyan.
Gu Xiyan let them take her photos, facing the flashing lights with a smile, exuding confidence and composure.
Meanwhile, in Mengmeng's live stream, the comments continued to roll:
[Is the press conference starting? Who is the president of this company? She looks so young and beautiful!]
[Oh, I thought she was a greeter, but she's actually the president. I don't want to strive anymore; hug me, please!]
[...]
After the flashes of the cameras had subsided, Gu Xiyan took hold of the microphone and began speaking softly:
"Welcome everyone to the new product launch of Jinyu International Fashion. I won't bore you with unnecessary words; let's get right to the point. Today, Jinyu Group is introducing just one product, its name is 'Beauty Pill.' I believe some of you have already heard about it…"
"The 'Beauty Pill' is considered a health supplement, and its purpose is very clear—it beautifies. It can make one look about ten years younger, depending on the situation, and unlike other beauty products on the market, you don't need to undergo several treatments to see just a minimal effect…"
While speaking, Gu Xiyan held the microphone, glancing around, lingering for an extra second on the likes of Lin Xiaoru and Gu Shiqian before she continued:
"Our Beauty Pill takes effect immediately on stage; we do not engage in false advertising. Jinyu Group guarantees that if there is no effect within one minute of using the Beauty Pill, we offer a hundredfold compensation!"
Gu Xiyan finished her statement.
It immediately caused a sensation, like a stone creating ripples in a pond, sending the gathered press into an uproar.
"What? It works immediately upon consumption, making one about ten years younger?!"
"That can't be possible, right? Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?"
"The best product similar to this in the market is 'Jade Bee Dew,' but even it requires a full treatment course to demonstrate minor effects."
"Yes, 'Jade Bee Dew' requires long-term use to achieve the three-year youth renewal they advertise. This ten years younger claim is impossible!"
"..."
Amid the clamor, some reporters had already started planning their stories for their return.
Du Xiangcheng and his wife, sitting next to Mu Jinyu, listened to Gu Xiyan's pitch and couldn't help but exchange glances with Mu Jinyu.
To be honest, like the reporters, they too found Mu Jinyu's claims hard to believe, but he never expected Mu Jinyu would actually use such bold statements in the launch!
Mu Jinyu, sensing Du Xiangcheng's incredulous look, knew he still didn't believe her, smiled faintly, and said nothing.
Because he knew, just a few more minutes and he would find it even more incredible!
Gu Xiyan stood on the stage without saying another word.
Once the noise from below gradually subsided, she lifted the microphone, smiling, and said:
"I know what I just said may sound unbelievable, but I'm not lying. After all, we are about to demonstrate the product's authenticity."
After finishing, Gu Xiyan pointed to the large screen behind her and stated, "I won't use our company's employees to test the effectiveness of Beauty Pill to avoid any further doubts about its authenticity. Instead, I'll randomly select three lucky audience members right now to let you experience the feeling of witnessing a miracle!"
As she spoke, a roulette wheel appeared on the large screen behind her, and it began to draw numbers.
Soon, three lucky audience members were selected.
One man and two women.
Among the women was the live streamer, Mengmeng.
[Wow, Mengmeng got selected. She's so lucky! I want to see if their Beauty Pill is as effective as they claim!]
[Mengmeng, go up and get me the contact of that lady on stage!]
[...]
Mengmeng hadn't expected to be so lucky to be chosen and was a bit stunned before she followed the other two onto the stage.
Gu Xiyan looked at them and, holding the microphone, said, "Next, I will have them remove their makeup and wash their face. Then, I'll take some photos of their current skin condition. After they have taken our Beauty Pill, we will compare the results and see how effective it is!"
"Remove makeup and take photos?"
A female journalist who was also selected looked a bit unhappy upon hearing Gu Xiyan's words.
She probably guessed that her face would look quite disastrous without makeup, which made her especially resistant.
Moreover, the idea of having her photo taken and enlarged, exposing her acne, wrinkles, and other flaws, was even more unacceptable to her!
Gu Xiyan saw her dissatisfaction, but since she didn't leave the stage right away, she knew that because of the influence of the Xu and Jiang Families, the woman was upset but didn't dare to make a scene.
But Gu Xiyan wouldn't force anyone, so she added, "If you don't want to do this, you can leave the stage, and I will select someone else."
The female journalist gratefully glanced at Gu Xiyan and hurriedly left the stage.
Soon, the screen randomly selected another lucky audience member, this time a man.
Meanwhile, Mengmeng's live stream was buzzing with comments:
[Finally, we can see Mengmeng's bare face, hope it won't scare me!]
[Oh wow, she's about to remove her makeup, and Mengmeng isn't running off—seems very confident!]
[...]
Mengmeng chuckled as she read the comments on her smartphone, chatted briefly with her viewers, and then went backstage to remove her makeup and wash her face.
Soon, the three lucky audience members, including Mengmeng who had light makeup on, and the other two male journalists, quickly washed their faces and returned.
Their facial skin was then captured on a high-definition camera and shown on the large screen behind them so that the audience could clearly see the imperfections on their faces.
The two men, both older, had rough skin that was dark and greasy, with some acne scars as well.
They stood on stage, sheepishly smiling, not seeming to mind much.
Mengmeng's skin, however, wasn't bad; it was quite fair, just marred by some discreet acne and scars that were usually hidden under her light makeup.
[Wow, Mengmeng's bare face is still so great, love it!]
[...]
Mengmeng glanced at the comments, stuck out her tongue playfully, and didn't feel embarrassed at all, thinking to herself that no one is perfect.
Thinking this, she unconsciously glanced at Gu Xiyan standing in front of her and secretly thought:
'This sister's skin seems extraordinarily good. Could it be because of the Beauty Pill?'
Mengmeng shook her head slightly, dismissing the thought.
After Gu Xiyan saw that the three lucky audience members had removed their makeup and washed their faces and had their current facial conditions recorded, she held the microphone and said, "Alright, now that we have recorded their conditions, we can let them try our Beauty Pill and see the effects!"
After she finished speaking, Lin Qiaoxia came up onto the stage with a tray, holding three portions of the Beauty Pill.
[Wow, another super beauty.]
[This young lady's skin is so nice and tender—really makes me want to pinch it and see how long she can cry!]
[...]
The three of them took the Beauty Pills handed by Lin Qiaoxia, took a deep breath, and then popped them into their mouths.
Immediately, their eyes widened.
