Chapter 557: Chapter 557: Return Without Success_1 Chapter 557: Chapter 557: Return Without Success_1 “Xiao Nong, I didn’t expect you to come up with such a brilliant solution in such a short time.

The old man will just follow your orders,” said Lin Yaoshi, half-jokingly and half in admiration.

“Elder Lin, you’re too kind.

Actually, just like you, I’m merely an executor of the plan; someone else is the real mastermind,” said Lu Chennong with his hands modestly.

“Oh?

Which mastermind?”
“Naturally, it’s Elder Xu’s capable wife,” Lu Chennong said enviously, “I have to say, Xu Xuanyi did indeed have a very outstanding daughter.”
Lin Yaoshi felt a bit surprised; it seemed that he had underestimated Xu Yixue before.

Indeed, Xu Fan had a better eye for people.

Lu Chennong continued, “If nothing goes awry, my brother Lu Chenbing should have already arranged for people to take Xu Xuanqiang and his group back to the police station.

We have several hours to calmly execute the plan and make things perfect, leaving no opportunity for the other side.”
“What exactly do I need to do?” Lin Yaoshi nodded and asked.

“Elder Lin doesn’t need to trouble yourself.

When the time comes, you’ll just need to do an interview, answering smoothly according to the prepared script,” Lu Chennong explained.

“No problem,” Lin Yaoshi promptly agreed.

Not long after, Lu Chennong took Lin Yaoshi and hurried to the “Yifan Research Institute.”
Meanwhile, Lu Chennong’s secretary split up into two groups, just coming out of Zhonghai University, and even brought out Huo Lingyuan, the dean of the Biological Sciences Academy there.

Huo Lingyuan, nearing sixty years old and with a pair of delicate reading glasses on his nose, agreed without much consideration to become Lin Yaoshi’s assistant after hearing the secretary’s purpose, cooperating with the action plan of Yifan Beauty Company.

Besides, they called many students to help move various equipment from the university’s laboratory to decorate the Yifan Research Institute.

A facade needs to be as real as possible.

Huo Lingyuan, who was a student at Zhonghai University more than thirty years ago and later became a lecturer at his alma mater, has climbed the ranks as his competency and seniority increased, eventually becoming the dean of the Biological Sciences Academy.

At his level, what he valued more was the integrity of his reputation and the improvement of his knowledge and skills.

Thus, he always had a good reputation and published multiple articles in international biology journals.

Therefore, with Huo Lingyuan, a credible expert in biological research, stepping forward, the research team suddenly gained legitimacy.

Originally, Huo Lingyuan had refused the secretary’s invitation because he cherished his reputation, was self-disciplined, and meticulous in his work, never considering engaging in deceitful acts for personal gain.

However, the products of Yifan Beauty Company had no issues, on the contrary, they improved people’s lives for the better.

Thus, not only did it not negatively impact him, but it also added to his accolades.

As for whether it was seeking fame?

In the face of the three million research funds promised by Yifan Beauty Company, it seemed of little importance.

As for the other members of the scientific research team, they weren’t so particular.

They improvised using company employees who fit the image and temperament of research personnel, dressing them up for the part.

And the location of the Yifan Research Institute was promptly set next to the production plant area.

When Lu Chennong and Lin Yaoshi arrived at the Yifan Research Institute, the setup was nearing completion.

After Lu Chennong made a round, feeling that it was sufficiently ready, he asked his secretary to invite a reporter from the Zhonghai Evening News, along with an assistant, to conduct an interview.

The interview was about the scientific research team of Yifan Beauty Company.

The reporter was naturally an acquaintance; facing such a hot topic, they would have flocked for the chance even without payment.

The interview lasted more than half an hour.

The reporter posed many targeted questions to the company’s science team leader Lin Yaoshi and assistant leader Huo Lingyuan, followed by brief inquiries with several team members.

They also took some photos inside the research institute.

After rushing back to the press office, the reporter and his assistant worked swiftly to edit the footage and, once completed, they immediately sent it to the TV station to be broadcast.

The video, well put together and half an hour long, was packed with substance, leaving viewers with a palpable sense of the effort and sincerity of the Yifan Beauty Research Team.

The segment of the interview that Xu Xuanqiang had seen was precisely the result of the work Lu Chennong and his team had hastily produced.

Xu Xuanqiang immediately realized that it was already too late to take action.

The other party had found a way to hold him and his team back, preventing them from doing anything during that time, while they managed to tie up all loose ends, securing the legitimate title and preoccupying the consumers, meaning that any further efforts they made would be futile.

On the way back to the airport, Xu Xuanqiang had his secretary book the next flight to Shenzhen City and left that same night.

This trip to Zhonghai turned out to be fruitless and disheartening, leaving him feeling mocked and significantly aggrieved.

As a result, Xu Xuanqiang bore a formal grudge against Xu Yixue and Xu Fan, knowing that the tables would turn and they would inevitably cross paths again.

Xu Fan, not until eight in the evening, came to know of this and simply laughed it off unconcernedly.

In his view, no matter how clever the opponent’s schemes were, they could not stir up the slightest ripple in the face of his absolute force.

If Xu Xuanqiang had not been Xu Yixue’s uncle, even if things ended there, Xu Fan would still have sought a way to retaliate.

To let him know, those who dare provoke me never end up well.

Oriental Famous City Villa.

After dinner, Chen Shiyu and Ye Xiaoning swiftly returned to their respective rooms on the second floor, leaving Xu Fan and his family happily watching TV in the living room.

They watched two episodes of “Boonie Bears” that were broadcast that evening.

“How come it’s over again, Tongtong hasn’t had enough yet,” Tongtong pouted discontentedly, mumbling.

“Tongtong, it’s ten o’clock already, children need to go to bed early and wake up early to grow up fast,” Xu Yixue soothed, patting the little girl’s head, “Be good, go to sleep, and we can watch TV tomorrow.”
“Alright, alright, Tongtong understands,” Tongtong obediently nodded her head and then snuggled into Xu Fan’s arms, saying in her childish voice, “Tongtong wants to sleep with mommy and daddy tonight, I can only fall asleep when daddy tells me a story.”
“Haha… Sure, daddy will continue the story from where we left off.”
Xu Fan picked up Tongtong, and after Xu Yixue turned off the TV, he took her hand and they all headed upstairs to the main bedroom.

Although Xu Fan was outwardly cheerful, he felt quite helpless inside; since moving into the new house, Tongtong had a bigger room, a larger bed, more toys and dolls, and a prettier room decoration.

Yet, she always preferred to sleep with her parents.

This forced him to count his pennies mentally; if he wanted to enjoy intimate moments with Xu Yixue again, he would have to wait for Tongtong to fall asleep before they could switch battlefields to the guest bedroom downstairs for a secret rendezvous.

He constantly felt like a cat that sneaks treats.

But in fact, this secretive feeling was quite amusing and allowed them to recapture a bit of the thrill of their passionate romance.
