Chapter 320 - 297: Brainless? It’s a Matter of Status

Chapter 320: Chapter 297: Brainless? It’s a Matter of Status

The expo soon came to an end. Many skincare users and bloggers left, still wanting more.

The ones who remained were all skincare sales agents. They gathered around various booths, signing registration forms, all naturally hoping to become distributors for the products.

According to procedure, they all had to register and leave their information first. The product companies would then contact them to discuss the contracts in detail.

However, the Xuanfeng Facial Mask booth was surrounded by the largest crowd of mask sales agents.

After learning of the Xuanfeng Facial Mask’s terrifying effectiveness, anyone in the facial mask business wanted to become a distributor for this product.

Yang Qingxue, Lin Yao, Liao Liyan, and Zhou Ling led their team, diligently registering everyone’s information. Even though their hands were sore and they were exhausted, they were enjoying every moment of it.

The busier they were, the more it proved just how popular the Xuanfeng Facial Mask had become.

The Xuanfeng Mask Company was about to take off.

Naturally, there were exceptions who could bypass the line and speak directly with Lu Feng.

Huang Xin, for example.

Meeting him again, Lu Feng decided to give him a chance, considering their previous pleasant conversation and Huang Xin’s attitude.

After all, they did need to promote the Xuanfeng Facial Mask domestically.

And Nawei Women’s Plaza was indeed an excellent choice.

"Mr. Lu, if you’ll take a look..." Huang Xin took out a stack of materials on Nawei Women’s Plaza and began to earnestly present them to Lu Feng.

He knew this was a rare opportunity and that he had to perform well.

After the two had been talking for a long while, Huang Xin said solemnly, "Mr. Lu, Nawei Women’s Plaza has the best sales platform for facial mask products. We also have plazas built all over the country. If we become a distributor for Xuanfeng Facial Mask, we will promote it with all our resources. We won’t let you down, Mr. Lu."

"Nawei Women’s Plaza is indeed quite good. We can give you a distributorship!" Lu Feng nodded in affirmation, then added, "However, we plan to find three main distributors in the country. Therefore, we can only offer the Nawei Women’s Group one-third of the distribution rights. If that’s acceptable, someone from the Xuanfeng Mask Company will contact President Huang later."

"Thank you, Mr. Lu! I’m sure we will have a pleasant partnership!" Huang Xin immediately agreed.

He had hoped for exclusive rights, but with a product this effective, that seemed unlikely. Securing one of the distributorships was still an excellent outcome.

Then, he extended an invitation, "Mr. Lu, how about I host dinner tonight? Please allow me to treat everyone from the Xuanfeng Mask Company."

"Alright, then we’ll be troubling President Huang." Lu Feng still felt that Huang Xin was a decent person, so he accepted.

"Thank you for gracing us with your presence, Mr. Lu." Seeing Lu Feng agree, Huang Xin joyfully took out his phone and started making arrangements.

It wasn’t until the sky had turned completely dark that Yang Qingxue, Liao Liyan, and the others finished registering all the information and returned to the break room with the rest of the Xuanfeng Mask Company team.

Just then, Huang Xin said, "Mr. Lu, everyone, dinner has been arranged. We can head over anytime."

"Let’s go!" Lu Feng nodded. Yang Qingxue and the others were covered in sweat from their hard work and were probably hungry. He led them out of the break room, following Huang Xin.

But just as the group was leaving the break room, they ran into a young man who had several bodyguards behind him.

Lu Feng was surprised to see this young man.

Because it was Kevin, the very person the black man Vast wanted to kill, the son of the Ruthie Group’s chairman.

Seeing the young man, Vast could no longer contain his killing intent.

Lu Feng felt it and glanced at the black man, who immediately suppressed his murderous aura.

He also knew this place was full of cameras and people; it was not a good place for a kill.

Kevin blocked Lu Feng’s group and asked mockingly, "Who’s in charge here?"

His goal, naturally, was to get his hands on the Xuanfeng Facial Mask’s technology, or at the very least, secure the distribution rights.

As long as they got the distribution rights, the Ruthie Group would have a chance to slowly acquire the technology.

"And you are?" Lu Feng asked, pretending not to recognize Kevin.

"It seems you’re the one in charge." Kevin looked at Lu Feng and got straight to the point. "My name is Kevin, the future heir of the Ruthie Group. I’ve come to you for one reason: I want to buy the technology for your Xuanfeng Facial Mask. You can name your price."

"Of course, I know you probably won’t sell the technology. In that case, just give me the exclusive distribution rights for the Beautiful Country!"

Lu Feng stared at Kevin, stunned, and asked sarcastically, "And what if I don’t want to sell the technology or give you the distribution rights?"

’Where does this guy get the nerve to be so confident?’ he wondered.

Acting like this was an easy way to get beaten up, or even killed.

’Then again,’ Lu Feng thought, ’there are plenty of spoiled brats like him in this country—arrogant, domineering, and acting like complete idiots. To many, their arrogance seems brainless.’

’But on second thought, isn’t this just what their status and position have accustomed them to?’

An ordinary person would go to jail and pay compensation if they killed someone in a car accident. But some people could probably make one phone call and turn it into a case of the deceased driving drunk.

An ordinary person might get locked up just for harassing a woman. But some people could flip the script, claim she was a gold-digger trying to seduce him, and even have the case settled in their favor.

So, this kind of power makes them act without restraint. In the eyes of ordinary people, it’s brainless, but in reality, this is just how they live their lives—running rampant without a care.

However, now that the internet is so developed, many of these people have been taken down online.

’But really, aren’t the ones who get taken down just those who provoked someone more powerful, or were targeted by a rival family, and the situation simply couldn’t be suppressed? Is it really a victory for the internet?’

The more you thought about it, the more terrifying it was.

Hearing Kevin’s words, Huang Xin, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded. He wondered how someone like this had managed to grow up at all.

He knew of the Ruthie Group, one of the top three skincare groups in the world.

’But this is the son of the Ruthie Group’s chairman?’

’He knows how effective the Xuanfeng Facial Mask is, yet this is his attitude when he wants the distribution rights? It’s as if he thinks Mr. Lu is the one begging the Ruthie Group for a deal.’

Crucially, for a company that makes its own products to seek distribution for another’s is a clear slap in the face to their own group. It tells the world their own products aren’t good enough.

He was certain that the position of chairman of the Ruthie Group would never belong to this young man!

Kevin didn’t see it that way. Extremely dissatisfied with Lu Feng’s attitude, he threatened, "You have no idea how powerful our Ruthie Group is. We can make it so your product never enters the Beautiful Country. Even if your product is good, Customs, the Department of Commerce, the product review department... they can all find ’problems’ with your product!"

Lu Feng wanted to laugh even more when he heard this. He didn’t deny that a conglomerate like the Ruthie Group had this kind of power in the Capital Country. After all, even domestic giants like Douyin and Penguin faced such situations.

But Kevin seemed to have forgotten that his wasn’t the only capital in the Beautiful Country. There were many capitalists more powerful than the Ruthie Group.

With the effectiveness of the Xuanfeng Facial Mask, he wouldn’t even need to lift a finger himself. Plenty of capitalists would be clamoring for distribution rights. If the Ruthie Group tried anything, someone else would deal with them on his behalf.

Wasn’t that what happened with the Dream-Returning Wine?

Lu Feng just smiled and pointed at Vast, asking Kevin, "Do you know him?"

Kevin subconsciously glanced at Vast, then said disdainfully, "Do I need to know some nigger?"

"???" Lu Feng looked back at Vast and could clearly see that Vast’s expression had turned grim to the extreme.

He even felt a bit of sympathy for Vast. The man’s family had been destroyed, and he carried a deep-seated hatred, yet his sworn enemy didn’t even remember his face.

It was truly pathetic. Or perhaps, this was the tragedy of a nobody.

Right. In the world of capitalists, killing a nobody was as easy as lifting a finger. They didn’t need to remember the nobodies they crushed.

Take Vast, for example. If not for the chance encounter that led him to be captured by Red Lizard at the Xuanfeng Alliance, he would have never had the chance to return to the Beautiful Country, let alone get revenge.

But for a small fry like Vast, this was all a bit ironic.

"President Huang, let’s go," Lu Feng said, turning to Huang Xin. He then ignored Kevin and walked away.

It didn’t matter what this spoiled brat did. In any case, Lu Feng didn’t need to waste time on someone whose life was about to end.

This scene, however, made the spoiled brat Kevin’s face darken with anger.

After Lu Feng had left, he stormed off to the parking lot in a fit of anger and got into a car.

Then, fuming, he took out his phone and made a call. "Feits, can you come to my hotel? I have some business for you. The price won’t disappoint you."

"Kevin, of course I’ll accept your invitation. See you then," came the laughing reply from the other end.

Getting the confirmation, Kevin sneered and ordered, "Back to the hotel!"

He wasn’t just powerful in the Beautiful Country; he had connections in France, too. For instance, his good friend was the son of the leader of the biggest underground force in France.

Therefore, teaching a lesson to some guy who didn’t know what’s good for him was simple.

Just like in the Beautiful Country, if he wanted someone to disappear, they would be gone within three days—sometimes along with their wives and children.

When he tried to talk nicely and they wouldn’t listen, he had no choice but to resort to special methods.
