Gu Fangting shrugged. “It’s good that they can’t bully you. You said so yourself that they’re hard to deal with. I was just afraid that they would take advantage of you!”
“It’s nothing. If I can’t even manage a small situation like that, how can I be a female tycoon in the future?”
Gu Fangting’s eyes lit up. She pressed against Gu Qingyao. “Older Cousin, are you really going to become a tycoon? Are you so sure?”
Gu Qingyao’s hand paused. She smiled as she looked at the girl. “I’m already a tycoon. Do you believe me?”
Gu Fangting was stunned!
Gu Qingyao said, “All right, I won’t tease you any longer. The fish with pickles restaurant is now running smoothly. I’m preparing for my next move.”
“What is it?” Gu Fangting was very interested. She was used to worshiping this older cousin. When she was ten years old, Gu Qingyao had rescued her and her mother from the Li family and had proven to be so knowledgeable. She had gone overseas to study at the age of eighteen. Gu Fangting thought she was amazing.
Gu Qingyao said, “Something for girls. To make everyone more beautiful.”
Gu Fangting was startled. “Cosmetics? You’re going into that?”
“Uhm! I’ve studied medicine for so many years; it would be a pity not to dabble in this!”
Gu Fangting: “…”
What does medicine have to do with cosmetics?
“I suddenly understand why Grandma Qiao says you’re not doing honest work!”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Old Madam Qiao was obsessed with medicine, especially traditional Chinese medicine. She had spent her life studying Chinese medicine. Gu Qingyao’s appearance years ago had delighted her. She had kept a close watch on Gu Qingyao, afraid that those money-obsessed fellows in the family would drag her off to do business.
But no matter how closely she guarded Gu Qingyao, it was to no avail.
Every time she thought of that, Old Madam Qiao grieved that those evil capitalists in the family had misled such a promising student. If not for Gu Yunshen’s appearance, Old Madam would be scolding everyone regularly.
The Qiao family cousins were so frightened that they did not dare to go home.
Gu Qingyao glanced at Gu Fangting. “How heartless of you. When I’ve made the cosmetics, you’re not to use them.”
Er…
Gu Fangting immediately smiled fawningly. “Don’t be like that! Older Cousin, you’re so amazing that whatever you make will be wonderful. I’m so obedient and adorable, and I worship you. What about this! I’ll be your guinea pig. You have to test the effects of whatever you make, right? You can use my face as you please!”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Gu Qingyao was not joking about cosmetics. She had planned for many things since her rebirth. She had studied medicine and had done research in this area in her previous life. She was an expert.
When she was overseas, she did business in cosmetics. Her business was still ongoing, but she had not brought it back to China.
Now that she was back, she was preparing to start a local brand.
She had already made the products, and they were in her interspace, but she had yet to mass-produce them. At the moment, there was a lack of China-made cosmetics. It was a good opportunity for her to expand.
When the various big brands from overseas moved here, it would be much harder to grow.
Chinese were incredibly trusting when it came to overseas brands.
Over the next few days, Gu Qingyao was busy with the restaurant. She was trying to find a way to import machinery, build a factory, and look for workers.
Gu Qingyao gave the products in her interspace to her female friends at home and asked them to advertise for her.
That afternoon, Gu Qingyao was at home, preparing medicinal meals for Old Master Mo and Grandma Mo when someone hugged her from behind. She was startled, and she turned around!
Her surprise immediately turned to delight!
“Elder Brother Beihan!”
