CHAPTER 51: CHAPTER 51: DON’T BE TOO EXCESSIVE IN LIFE

The daily chemical product conference took up the entire first floor of the Yun City Convention and Exhibition Center, with thousands of merchants showcasing their products here. At a glance, various daily chemical products were dazzling.

The place was bustling with merchants and customers alike.

Brands attended the exhibition mainly to promote their company’s products and recruit distributors on-site, while guests came to find their desired products. Through the exhibition, they could learn about the latest industry trends.

Blue Moon Company’s booth was buried among countless brands, not standing out at all.

Early in the morning, Zhang Dafu and a group of employees were busy setting up the booth. Except for Zhang Dafu, the employees seemed a bit listless.

Everyone was aware of Blue Moon’s massive product return incident yesterday!

Rumors spread internally within the company, and employees speculated that at this rate, Blue Moon might go bankrupt!

Even if their boss Lin Fan was a billionaire, he probably couldn’t save Blue Moon.

Although they heard the company was researching new products, the employees felt it was just a last-minute effort. Developing new products wasn’t easy. The company would most likely collapse before the new products were ready.

However, the biggest blow came from Red Sun Company.

Red Sun’s booth was set up right opposite Blue Moon’s!

It was intentionally done by Red Sun’s boss Chen Jianfeng to strike at Blue Moon.

Red Sun was now affluent, with a booth larger than Blue Moon’s, and they started decorating three days in advance. It was grandly decorated, with elegantly packaged products displayed on the shelves and employees in uniform—which looked classy and high-end.

By comparison, Blue Moon’s booth seemed a bit shabby.

Lin Fan left Blue Moon entirely in Zhang Dafu’s hands, and because Zhang Dafu didn’t have high expectations for the exhibition, he didn’t put in much effort.

A short, plump, middle-aged man in a suit, looking like a successful person, stood in front of Red Sun’s booth, mockingly looking at Blue Moon’s booth opposite.

He was none other than Red Sun’s boss, Chen Jianfeng.

"President Zhang, why are you setting up your booth so late? Is it because you couldn’t afford the decoration fees? Why not come to me for a loan?" Chen Jianfeng laughed.

Upon hearing this, Red Sun’s employees all laughed indiscriminately.

Blue Moon’s employees all lowered their heads, having no confidence to retort, feeling utterly embarrassed.

Zhang Dafu coldly replied, "Chen Jianfeng, you don’t need to flaunt here. No matter how well you decorate your booth, what’s most important is the product!"

Chen Jianfeng laughed heartily, "Product? President Zhang is just being stubborn. Didn’t Blue Moon just have products returned? Do you even have the right to talk about products?"

Red Sun’s employees laughed even more wantonly.

Blue Moon’s employees held their heads in their hands, thinking that talking about products was self-humiliating!

Zhang Dafu said, "I admit our previous products were indeed not as good as yours, Red Sun, but Chen Jianfeng, you know best how your products came about!"

Chen Jianfeng chuckled, "Are you going to accuse me of stealing your formula again? Do you have evidence? If you do, sue me!"

Zhang Dafu was frustrated because Chen Jianfeng was arrogantly claiming he had no evidence.

"Don’t worry, we’ll sue you,"

A voice came from the side, and a handsome young man walked over.

So handsome!

The female employees had starry eyes, and even the men were impressed.

Lin Fan had arrived!

"Boss!" Zhang Dafu said happily. He couldn’t handle Chen Jianfeng, but he believed Lin Fan could!

Chen Jianfeng assessed Lin Fan, surprised. Could this young man be Blue Moon’s new boss?

A young guy, still wet behind the ears, wearing a set of street market clothes.

Chen Jianfeng immediately looked down on Lin Fan, thinking how could this kid be a match for an old fox like him.

"So you are Blue Moon’s new boss. No wonder you spent 100 million buying Blue Moon! Seeing how young you are, you probably got tricked by Zhang Dafu, right? If this money was invested in my Red Sun, I guarantee you’d earn a fortune. Even tossing it into the sea would be better than buying Blue Moon!" Chen Jianfeng laughed.

Lin Fan smiled, "My name is Lin Fan, Boss Chen. It’s better not to be too excessive as it’s easy to get a taste of your own medicine."

Chen Jianfeng laughed loudly, "Get a taste of my own medicine? Does Blue Moon qualify to face me?"

Lin Fan ignored Chen Jianfeng and turned to Zhang Dafu, "Da Fu, did we bring our new products? The show is about to start, let’s get them out."

Zhang Dafu smiled, "Yes, boss, the new products are here. I personally took care of them."

Zhang Dafu took out a safe with a combination lock and brought out three bottles of new hand soap samples, placing them in the most prominent position at the booth.

The hand soap only had simple packaging for now, looking nothing special.

Chen Jianfeng glanced and dismissively said, "New hand soap? Just playing tricks, can it be better than my Red Sun products!"

The exhibition had started, and guests began coming in one after another.

Most guests were attracted by Red Sun’s decoration, and along with Chen Jianfeng having employees promote loudly, guests flocked to Red Sun’s booth.

Chen Jianfeng was overjoyed, busy entertaining guests.

Meanwhile, Blue Moon’s booth was deserted, with only a few guests. Although Zhang Dafu had people promoting, guests shook their heads and walked away after seeing the new hand soap’s packaging.

"Blue Moon? I heard from a friend that they just returned a batch of their stuff yesterday and switched to Red Sun!"

"It must be poor product quality!"

"Anyway, it probably doesn’t sell as well as Red Sun! If it did, who would return it?"

"I heard Red Sun is doing pretty well. If the product experience is good, I might consider ordering some."

Guests discussed among themselves.

Hearing these remarks, other guests avoided Blue Moon even more and went to Red Sun instead.

All of Blue Moon’s employees felt dejected, especially seeing Red Sun bustling with activity, they felt even more downcast.

At this moment, a trendy female live-streaming influencer came to the venue, streaming as she walked.

"Today I’m invited to the exhibition to have a look around and show everyone what’s good and new. It’s quite lively up ahead, what’s this? Red Sun hand soap? Seems pretty hot. Opposite, Blue Moon hand soap looks so deserted. The contrast is clear, let’s interview Blue Moon. I like asking bosses awkward questions."

With that, the influencer, Sister Daihuo, walked over to Blue Moon’s booth.

"Hello everyone, I’m the streaming host Weiwei. May I ask, who is the boss here?" Sister Daihuo asked.

Lin Fan replied, "That’s me."

Sister Daihuo exclaimed dramatically, "Such a handsome and young boss!"

This host had a decent follower count, and the comment section of the live stream became lively immediately.

"Really handsome!"

"If I were there, I’d go to this stall just to see the handsome guy!"

"Yeah, why is there no one? Is it because of bad products?"

Sister Daihuo laughed, "Handsome guy, your store is quite deserted. Why is it that both are hand soaps, yet the one opposite is so popular?"
