Qin Yao rolled her eyes at Xu Hao's narcissism and scoffed, "Hmph! You're so self-obsessed!"

Xu Hao wrapped his arms around Qin Yao's waist, leaned down to her ear, and gently whispered, "What nonsense! Look, this is the kingdom I've conquered for you!"

"For me? I doubt it's solely for me," Qin Yao turned her head and giggled.

"What? Are you jealous?" Xu Hao affectionately tapped Qin Yao's nose.

"Hmph! What would I be jealous of? You big flirt, if I were to be jealous every day, I'd probably eat all the vinegar in Huadu!" Qin Yao pouted.

"Sigh, what can I do? My charm is just too great! Even though I try to restrain myself and tone it down, I still can't stop all the beauties from flocking to me!" Xu Hao shrugged, looking helpless.

"Hmph!"

Qin Yao rarely put on an air of pride but then said, "Tomorrow the commercial park is officially opening, and the 'Su Yi' cosmetics launch is scheduled too. You can't miss it. Make sure to bring your little sweetheart, Chen Suyi, since she's our brand ambassador."

"What? Aren't you jealous of her?" Xu Hao laughed, "The cosmetics are named after her, after all."

"You and she decided that long ago. What do I have to be jealous about? I'm not that petty!" Qin Yao pretended to be angry and pouted.

Xu Hao looked at Qin Yao's beautiful face and suddenly kissed her.

"Mmm... Stop... This is the entrance of the commercial park..." Qin Yao struggled, but Xu Hao's strength was too much for her to break free.

After a long moment, their lips parted.

Xu Hao smiled, "Sigh, your allure is too much for me to resist."

"Hmph!"

Qin Yao lay in Xu Hao's arms but turned her head away, looking at the sky, her face flushed.

Xu Hao, slightly speechless, gently said, "From tomorrow, the Huadu headquarters will be ready for use. You can work here and won't need to go to Jing'an anymore."

"What about Sister Ruyan?" Qin Yao couldn't help but ask.

Xu Hao stroked her hair and laughed, "Though you're jealous, you still think of others. Meeting a good girl like you is my greatest fortune. Ruyan will handle things over there first and then come here since there are still many matters to settle."

Qin Yao nodded, "Hmm, the girl taking over her position is young, but she's very capable and should be able to handle it."

"No matter how capable, she's not as good as my Xiao Yao!" Xu Hao grinned.

Qin Yao's face turned even redder.

Just then, Xu Hao received a message: Dior's General Manager, Zhao, from Huaya Headquarters' Tiannan Province branch, was challenging Xu Hao and his 'Su Yi' cosmetics brand.

Dior?

Xu Hao thought for a while and then remembered. When he, Chen Suyi, and Anna went to Xu's Mall, which was then called Sun's Shopping Mall, Chen Suyi wanted to buy Dior cosmetics. Xu Hao said Dior's cosmetics weren't good, so Chen Suyi didn't buy them. Later, Xu Hao made a bet with Zhou Shuran, and when she lost, he gave her a light spanking.

Now, for some reason, General Manager Zhao at Huaya Headquarters' Tiannan Province branch of Dior heard about this.

He found that "Chen Suyi refused to buy Dior cosmetics" had become the third most popular topic on a forum! This version is sourced from MV3L3MPYR.

While Dior is a renowned international brand, the greater reason was Chen Suyi.

Chen Suyi, one of the country's Four Little Heavenly Queens and allegedly the foremost among them, had unparalleled influence. Because her influence was so great, any news related to her quickly climbed the ranks.

And this was without Chen Suyi deliberately boosting her rankings. If she did, she would undoubtedly be first every time!

Now that negative news about Chen Suyi and Dior were linked, online campaigns to boycott Dior had surged. Some Dior stores in Huadu and Tiannan Province were even affected, with many people gathering to protest Dior cosmetics.

Xu Hao smiled upon reading this news.

Just a branch manager, yet he dared challenge him.

Either this manager was very bold, or someone offered him substantial incentives to deliberately create trouble.

But regardless of the reason, Xu Hao wouldn't sit back.

Since there's a challenge, he must accept it!
