923: Revenge

Revenge

As the manager said this, Jian Yiling lowered her head. It was as though she was looking for something.2

"Auntie, could I borrow your foot?"

After looking around, Jian Yiling's eyes fell on Hu Jiaojiao's mother's feet.

This was because Jian Yiling and Hu Jiaojiao were currently wearing sneakers. Out of the three of them, only Hu Jiaojiao's mother was wearing high heels.

Hu Jiaojiao's mother: "What do you want me to do? Don't hesitate to tell me."

"Step on her. With the heel of the shoe," Jian Yiling said as she pointed to the woman's feet.

This was because the woman stepped on Jian Yiling with the heel of her shoe. Therefore, this would only be over once the step was returned.

Ahh… Hu Jiaojiao's mother was a bit worried. She did not dare to move her feet.

"Mother, don't be worried! Just listen to Jian Yiling! After all, she stepped on Jian Yiling first! This revenge is totally fair."

Hu Jiaojiao encouraged her mother to act.

Under Hu Jiaojiao's encouragement, Hu Jiaojiao's mother walked up to the woman.

"Then… Do I just… Step on her foot?"

Hu Jiaojiao's mother asked as she turned around to confirm the situation with Jian Yiling and her daughter again.

Jian Yiling nodded.

Upon receiving confirmation, Hu Jiaojiao's mother lifted her right foot and stomped down on the woman's foot.

"Ahhh——"

The woman screamed in pain.

The pain distorted her face that was covered in delicate makeup.

Then, Hu Jiaojiao's mother hurriedly walked back to Jian Yiling.

After that, Jian Yiling did not look at Mr. Zou and Ms. Zou again. Instead, she turned around to leave with Hu Jiaojiao and Hu Jiaojiao's mother.

The woman was in so much pain that she could not speak for a while.

After a few minutes of reprieve, the woman finally found her voice again: "Husband… I…"

The woman looked at her husband in aggravation.

"Hush! You almost got both of us killed! If you angered Master Sheng, he could easily cut off your foot!" The man scolded the woman.

It was lucky for the problem to be solved like this.

After all, Master Sheng was known to be ruthless.

The new product release was watched closely by Sofia, the competitor of XDL.

Sofia and XDL were both renowned international brands.

They were both involved in skincare makeup and for years, their business had been performing incredibly well.

Three years ago, Sofia's products still had the upper hand.

However, once XDL began to produce medical cosmetic products, they began to dominate the entire market. As a result, Sofia was placed in a disadvantageous position.

Nowadays, every time XDL released a new product, Sofia would send someone to keep a close eye on the situation. This person would collect relevant information, conduct research, and perform follow-up surveys.

This time, XDL once again released a new medical cosmetic product.

Upon hearing about this, Sofia's Board of Directors held a meeting. They wanted their research and development team to catch up with XDL.

If they did not release a new product, their market share in this area would become smaller and smaller.

However, even after a few meetings, no one could think of a good idea.

Medical cosmetic products required talented individuals. Sofia had already established its research and development team in this area for an entire year. However, their team failed to develop any useful products.

If they could not ensure the quality of the product, releasing such a product would ruin the reputation of their other products.

And thus, in the most recent meeting, someone on the Board recommended poaching talent.

If Sofia could poach the core members of XDL's medical cosmetics research and development team, then they would definitely be able to make significant breakthroughs and progress on their own products.

However, XDL's medical cosmetics research and development team were incredibly mysterious. No one knew their identity. And thus, without knowing their identity, how were they meant to poach talent?
