Chapter 129: The Art of Convincing

While they were in the study, Valerie secretly glanced at Ryan. She couldn't shake this embarrassment.

"Mr. Ryan good morning," Richard went inside while smiling.

"How about the sample for the new product?" Ryan didn't want to mince words.

"It's a success thanks to your help!" Richard laughed with satisfaction. "New samples have been distributed to the market for testing. Now we are developing another new one. But of course, this new product still needs your and your group's help. At the very least, you have to lend Valerie's power to my party for a few days."

Ryan turned to Valerie and realized that Valerie was glancing at him. It looked like she had been overhearing their conversation.

"For the sake of her development, please teach Valerie well."

At this time, the secretary who was usually with Irina walked into the room.

"Mr. Richard and Mr. Ryan, Mrs. Irina waits for you in the meeting room. Please gather your respective groups."

"Mrs. Irina asked us all to attend?" Richard was confused and worried.

"Yes, Mrs. Irina wants everyone's presence," the secretary smiled. "Don't worry, Mrs. Irina is in a good mood. So there shouldn't be a problem,"

"Alright, we will gather in the meeting room as soon as possible," Richard said with a smile.

Not long after, Richard and Ryan brought their groups and gathered in the meeting room. Irina was waiting for them and sat in the boss chair.

"Alright, please sit down," Irina said with a smile.

Nearly twenty people were gathered in this room. But since the meeting room was large, they gathered only on one side.

"Well, I just want to deliver the good news," Irina said with a smile. "As you already know, our new perfume product was released in the market the day before yesterday. After our team has promoted and sold some samples, it can be said that we have great success. In terms of quality and people's comments, these really far exceeded the company's expectations. This will be our first big step towards an even greater success,"

"Is it true?" Richard and the other perfumers still couldn't process this information. They had been really working hard in the past few weeks and it could be said that the new product was made of their blood and sweat. That's why when they heard that their new product was a success on the market, the feelings of relief and joy merged flooded their hearts.

"With this excellent achievement, I think the massive sale will be a success. The next stage is the promotion section so you don't have to worry," Irina then stood up. "Without your efforts and dedication, our company could not have gone this far. For that, I want to directly thank you guys," after that, Irina bowed respectfully to her workers.

"Mrs. Irina, you don't have to thank us," Richard quickly asked Irina to raise her head. "This is our job. It is an honor for us to be able to serve and move forward together with this company," He and the other perfumerists were moved by Irina's action just now. They all agreed with Richard's words.

"As a reward for your hard work, I decided that you all deserve 3 days off!"

This time, everyone cheered for joy. Three days off was truly great!

"Plus, the company will arrange joint holiday activities for free," Irina's words made them cheer even more.

"However, unfortunately, you have to choose whether you will go on vacation alone for 3 days or take a joint vacation arranged by the company."

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other. Some wanted to leave but some also thought about relaxing at home with their families. However, these 3 days off were truly a blessing amidst their tiring work.

"Don't worry, think about it carefully. You are free to make choices, there is no compulsion," Irina said.

At this moment, Ryan stood up. "Mrs. Irina, where are we going for vacation?"

Seeing Ryan, Irina slightly frowned. But she knew that Ryan was just trying to break the ice.

"We have booked a hotel on Squirtle Island," Irina said, smiling again.

"Wow, then I'm coming!" Ryan said with a laugh.

"Me too!"

"I also want to!"

Suddenly, the workers began to voice their agreement.

Ryan then turned to Valerie and said with a smile, "Valerie, you too. Come,"

"Oh? Okay," Valerie nodded with a smile.

This scene did not escape Irina's eyes.

"Then, let's take a vacation together!"

'Beach, bikini, seafood! Here I come...!'

......… ..

Squirtle Island was an alternative tourist destination when they visited Avalerion city. The boat trip would take twenty minutes from the port. This tourist destination was really popular because of the abundance of Squirtles and other marine animals.

"Ha ha ha!" Ryan laughed when he saw the waves.

"Hey, what are you doing suddenly laughing like that?" Irina who sat beside him laughed.

"Just now, I saw a bikini washed away," everyone laughed at that too.

"Alright, we'll stay at the Malibu hotel. For today, you are free to do any activity," Irina then smiled at her subordinates. "You all don't seem to want to be with me."

"Ma'am, don't be like that," the boys laughed, their eyes were fixed on the girls in bikinis on the beach.

Ahhh…. Youth really was fun.

Richard took a deep breath. He brought his wife and young child on this vacation trip. So he didn't have time to 'refresh' his eyes with his comrades.

The crowd quickly disappeared, they were all heading to the beach and about to roll out their mats and enjoy the atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Ryan had disappeared from the beginning. He had secretly approached a pair of girls who were sunbathing on a beach chair.

"Hi pretty, it's not good to sunbathe all the time, you know?" Ryan said with a smile. His eyes also seemed to have stripped them naked.

After years of wandering, Ryan could distinguish bad girls from the others with just one glance. Of course, these two girls he was approaching were the type who would be okay with the threesome game.

"How am I supposed to sunbathe if you get in the way?" The beautiful woman glared at Ryan as he was standing and blocking the sun. But after seeing his muscular body, she smiled sweetly. The woman next to her also smiled at Ryan.

"Ah, I don't mean that. It's just a shame if your beautiful bodies will hurt if you keep sunbathing," Ryan said while sitting on a chair.

"We've put on sunscreen," the girl on the left smiled. "Too bad you can't put it on us."

"Ha ha ha." Ryan wasn't embarrassed at all. "But if you look around, you use it the wrong way,"

"Oh? Is it true? Then what is the right way?" Both of them became interested in Ryan.

At this moment, Ryan was still trying to seduce two beautiful women while they were sunbathing. With his ability to talk smoothly, Ryan succeeded in getting these two women to be attracted to him.

"How you use the sunscreen will affect your skin, you know. However, before I tell you, how did you use it before?"

"Shouldn't we just put it where we want it?"

"Wrong," Ryan was already pretending like a scholar. "There's a correct and incorrect way to apply it. If you use it wrong, the results will not be optimal and your efforts are wasted. You have to wear it from top to bottom."

Although they were just asking out of curiosity, Ryan managed to convince them with his serious tone and face. Now they were really interested in him.

"Why should it be from top to bottom? Because sunscreen is only applied to the pores and is not absorbed by the skin, its job is only as a protection." 

The two women nodded, Ryan's explanation made sense.

"People use it in different ways, starting from the amount and how to use it, it will be different for each person. But, let's not go there yet. It's better if we discuss which part of the body is the most important to have it applied on."

The two women didn't even blink, they were so focused on Ryan's explanation.

"For example, when basking in the sun like this, the face is the most important part. Especially for beautiful women like you, I don't recommend wearing sunglasses while sunbathing because it will produce uneven results. And as a result, instead of getting prettier, you will look weird."

"Ah? Is it true?" One of them asked.

"Of course," Ryan looked serious. Even though this nonsense was just his own creation, the main key was that he had the confidence so that others would believe it.

"When it comes to our face, we have to pay attention to several important points. After applying the sunscreen properly, you will get maximum results and you will be more beautiful."

Ryan stopped to see the reaction of these two women and continued his explanation, "That's why it's better if I show you how to use it properly on your face. So you'll know how to use it next time before sunbathing,"
