Chapter 456 - Sitting and Waiting for Y Cosmetics’ Demise!

Chapter 456 Sitting and Waiting for Y Cosmetics’ Demise!

She thus came over with the mentality of giving it a try.

It took her a lot of courage to take each step forward under everyone’s gaze. She nearly crumbled when she faced the sounds of everyone’s discussions, but she eventually endured it.

She kept admonishing herself in her heart and telling herself that it was her last hope. There must be some significance that God willed her to be a lucky customer at that time. Regardless of what happened, she had to give it a try!

In the end, she walked into Y Cosmetics showing only her eyes, which looked at the world nervously.

In the past, her eyes were bright and full of self-confidence, but the luster had faded. Only inferiority and evasiveness were present in those eyes.

“You’re here. Please wait for a moment. The makeup artist will be here soon.” Zhang Yunxi had already arranged a seat for Qiao Shanshan and poured the latter a glass of water.

She was full of sympathy for Qiao Shanshan.

“Thank you.” Qiao Shanshan nodded and sat down.

The rest of the crowd could only wait.

Waiting would inevitably cause anyone to feel anxious. As time passed, a person’s patience would also begin to slowly wear thin.

“F*ck, is the makeup artist not coming?”

“That might just be the case! Makeup can’t solve such a condition. It’s likely that the makeup artist ran away!”

“Y Cosmetics made such a big fuss in showing off. I can’t believe they’re so worthless when they do face this kind of issue.”

“F*ck, how much money did this makeup shop make from scamming in the past month! This is fraud!”

“Yeah, this is a scam! Sue them and let them refund the money!”

…

Some of the people among the crowd began to make a ruckus and the scene began gravitating toward chaos.

Among them were a large number of people from other cosmetic stores. If they did not bash Y Cosmetics then, when else would they be able to do so?

They seized the opportunity to cause trouble—the more chaotic, the better. A brand that collapsed would find it very difficult to stand up again.

Augea Cosmetics headquarters.

The huge conference hall was full of people at that moment, and the CEO was a middle-aged woman. At that point, she looked at the projector in the conference hall with a smile on her mouth.

The projector was displaying Y Cosmetics’ current situation. Someone had provided a live stream from the scene of the event!

“What do you think about this?” she asked suddenly.

After a moment of silence, one of them began speaking, “Boss, it might be difficult for Y Cosmetics to bounce back from this.”

“Really? You’re that confident?”

“Boss, I have to admit that Y Cosmetics’ makeup artist is very skilled, but no matter how good their skills are, it has to be grounded in reality! As far as the current products are concerned, there is nothing capable of treating burns or disfigurements, not to mention Qiao Shanshan’s serious burn wounds!”

“That’s right! Y Cosmetics are out of their luck this time. We used to treat them as a cause for concern since that makeup artist of theirs is just too extraordinary in his skills. Nonetheless, out of the thousands of people they could have drawn for the lucky draw, they just had to draw Qiao Shanshan. Muahahaha…”

“CEO, God is lending us a hand! Y Cosmetics’ presence completely shook up the initial projections of our cosmetics business. We have to take this opportunity and crush them in one fell swoop!”

“That’s right! And that makeup artist’s reputation has to be ruined completely, otherwise we’ll only be indulging them and inviting trouble upon ourselves!”

Everyone exchanged remarks with each other and watched the tragic events befalling Y Cosmetics at that point. They could not help but show a cheerful smile on their faces.

Cosmetics stores were undoubtedly amongst the top fields that raked huge and abrupt profits. The competition was so huge that it was beyond a person’s imagination!

Y Cosmetics’ emergence naturally alerted other cosmetics shops, who instantly recognized their potential by virtue of being in the same field!

It was inevitable that Y Cosmetics would expand even more under the circumstances. By the time that happened, the other makeup shops would certainly be eliminated!

Unfortunately, they were powerless to do anything and could only experience anxiety when watching Y Cosmetics becoming the dernier cri and going viral throughout the internet.

However, God sometimes made a point to add some drama to life. As the saying went, life was full of surprises.

Y Cosmetics had gotten a tricky individual in only their second lucky draw!

“Hehe, you’re all quite correct. God is cooperating. Even He wants Y Cosmetics to go down, so there’s no reason for us not to follow suit!” The CEO grinned. “I believe that we’re not the only ones having this thought. Other cosmetics stores have this thought too. They’re also waiting to see the storm that will strike Y Cosmetics!”

“Notify the operations department and have them spread the news as much as possible. It’ll be better if more people know! I want to make sure that Y Cosmetics goes from being trending on the internet into a rat on the street!”

…

As was the case in Augea Cosmetics, many of the large cosmetics stores were eagerly waiting while the smaller stores were gloating secretly. How could they not be happy when they saw the collapse of their counterparts?

“Hey, is the makeup artist coming? Just tell us if he ran away. Plenty of us are waiting here!”

“Yeah, do you still want to keep this store in operation or not?”

“The arrogance is a bit much, isn’t it? We know that it’s difficult to help with Qiao Shanshan’s makeup, but you’ve already boasted so much. You can’t be dishonest in running your business. If this is how it is, we definitely won’t come here again!”

“Yup. Who would dare to come to this kind of shop?”

“I even applied for a card! Please give me a refund!”

…

Their words pierced Qiao Shanshan’s heart deeply and caused her body to tremble. She was eventually unable to take it any longer and was about to stand up and leave.

“Oh f*ck! I think the guy’s here!”

At this moment, someone in the crowd yelled and immediately silenced the noise. Everyone then simultaneously looked over.

What they saw was a figure walking out slowly with Y’s mask. An inexplicable aura exuded from that person’s body, causing everyone to instinctively make way.

After glancing faintly at the crowd, Ye Lingchen walked directly into Y Cosmetics.

The scene suddenly became extremely quiet with Ye Lingchen’s arrival, with the atmosphere turning solemn and dignified unknowingly.

“Hehe, you’re still brave enough to show yourself?” The CEO of Augea Cosmetics watched the video from their headquarters and her brow wrinkled slightly in surprise.

“So, what if he comes? He’s just being stubborn. How could he possibly help Qiao Shanshan with her makeup? It’s a futile attempt that would only result in shame!”

“It’ll be even better, then. It’ll make for much better ridicule if he fails to give her proper makeup!”

“Let’s all wait and see! Let’s wait and watch Y Cosmetics’ demise!”

Everyone snorted disdainfully.

They were in that line of business, so they knew exactly what was possible and impossible!

Everyone had their own thoughts as they all focused their attention on Ye Lingchen’s figure.

There was curiosity, admiration, disdain, and contempt. The majority were watching for the sake of the excitement of everything going up in flames.

Under the black cloth, Qiao Shanshan’s originally drooping gaze suddenly looked up at Ye Lingchen in front of her. She had a mix of emotions in her eyes, including apprehensiveness and anticipation…
