If Gu Jiaojiao could open a company, so could she.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Gu Jiaojiao could develop good skincare products, so could she.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her uncle’s help, her family had bought a duplex apartment in the city center, and her father worked at her uncle’s company, earning more than ten thousand yuan a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her family had savings, too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenwan asked her parents for money, went to a training institute, and studied skincare product development techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, she also established her own company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unlike Gu Jiaojiao, she didn’t make money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two months after her company opened, having invested several hundred thousand yuan, she launched a hydrating skincare set.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The formula had been given to her by the instructor who taught her about skincare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instructor claimed she had developed it herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenwan ended up paying to buy out the rights to it completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the launch, determined to compete with Gu Jiaojiao, she hired a celebrity for advertisements and promoted it heavily. On the very first day, she sold several thousand sets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Xu Wenwan see a huge business opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then had the factory rush production.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once she started making money, she planned to be just like Gu Jiaojiao: buy her own factory, open branch stores, and launch more products.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ideally, she would even expand internationally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as the second batch of skincare products was manufactured, before it could even hit the market, she was sued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The charge was theft of trade secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenwan was completely dumbfounded, but she had enough sense to immediately hire a lawyer to fight the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After understanding the situation, the lawyer refused the case outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no point in even fighting it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenwan had been scammed. The instructor who taught her had given her a formula from another brand. Her using it directly did, in fact, constitute theft of trade secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she took it to court, it would be a surefire loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lawyer advised her to settle it privately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Xu Wenwan realize she’d been tricked. The other party was a major brand, a large corporation, and she truly panicked. In the end, she settled privately, compensating the other party with her company and the skincare products.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It amounted to a direct loss of several hundred thousand yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, Xu Wenwan cried for days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t because she’d been scammed or because she’d lost money, but because she couldn’t understand how Gu Jiaojiao could be so much luckier than her. It just wasn’t fair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was crying out of sheer jealousy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, Xu Wenwan would get furious just thinking about this incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, however, she was incredibly grateful to her past self for being so eager to learn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If I can make facial soap, maybe I can make some money too.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the two men heard that Xu Wenwan could make facial soap, their attitudes changed instantly, becoming remarkably friendly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re not kidding us, right? You can really make it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This facial soap sells extremely well on the black market, and it’s very expensive—one yuan a bar! You’d better not be bluffing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One yuan a bar?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenwan’s eyes widened in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’A worker’s monthly salary is only a dozen or so yuan right now, but a single bar of this soap sells for one yuan. This is an incredible way to make money!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, it wasn’t even difficult to make.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The raw materials were also very simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenwan glanced at the two men, realizing this was a viable plan to get rich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she still hadn’t gotten the answer she wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, you tell me where this stuff comes from. Then, I’ll let you see the facial soap I can make.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing how curious Xu Wenwan was, the two men exchanged a look before one of them slowly spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Talk is cheap. If you really want to know where this facial soap comes from, then make some and show us. Once you do, I’ll tell you where I got the soap I have in my hand!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",741,"2026-06-05T18:11:09.760Z",1,"novelbin.me","330ce1bcc9727a389725cc482c07f1270d4e94d22eda7ad38f4dc115f5acc587","the-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-chapter-110","the-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-chapter-109",407,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-cover.jpg"]
