Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Hurry to Find Mr. Ye

"Old Zhou, what did you say? This napkin has the development list for the anti-aging cosmetic series written on it?"

Upon hearing Zhou Yuan's words, all the members of the R&D Department present in the meeting room stood up, each of them crowding forward to gawk.

The many R&D members at the scene were all knowledgeable professionals; they immediately recognized that this development list was not simple—it could very well be the real deal for the anti-aging cosmetic series.

"My goodness, it does seem to be the real thing. Director Yu, why didn't you show it earlier?"

"Yes, Director Yu, why didn't you bring out this development list for the anti-aging cosmetic series sooner? If you had, we wouldn't have had to endure Director Zhao's scolding, right?"

"That's what I'm saying! The research capabilities of people transferred from headquarters are absolutely top-notch, far beyond comparison with us!"

In an instant, the entire meeting room was buzzing with excitement, their gazes filled with admiration toward Yu Xiangyi.

"I...I..."

Yu Xiangyi, with a bewildered face, truly didn't know how to respond to the crowd's comments.

After all, she hadn't authored that development list; it had been written by Ye Fan for her.

At the time, she hadn't believed it, and what Yu Xiangyi never dreamed of was that what Ye Fan said was true—this was indeed a development list for the anti-aging cosmetic series.

Dumbstruck, Yu Xiangyi was wholly stupefied.

"What's going on here? What's this ruckus about? Shouldn't you all be back developing new products instead of causing a commotion in the meeting room?"

The commotion drew in Zhao Chong, the head in charge, who walked into the meeting room with a gloomy expression.

The elderly Zhou Yuan cheerfully told Zhao Chong, "Director Zhao, the new product has been developed, the new product is developed!"

"This fast?" Zhao Chong was astonished.

Zhou Yuan handed the napkin to Zhao Chong, saying, "Director Zhao, look, this is the anti-aging cosmetic series development list!"

"Impressive!"

Zhao Chong was taken aback—it was truly his first time seeing someone writing a development list on a napkin.

After taking a close look, Zhao Chong's face revealed shock, "Who developed this?"

As the head of the Beichen Group Central Plains Branch, Zhao Chong had a profound understanding of cosmetic product development. After examining the list, he was internally flooded with amazement, knowing that this napkin's contents were invaluable.

"It was developed by Director Yu!" Zhou Yuan pointed at Yu Xiangyi.

Zhao Chong looked incredulously at Yu Xiangyi, "Minister Yu, did you develop this? Why didn't you say so earlier during the meeting?"

"This...this wasn't developed by me, but by a friend of mine!" Yu Xiangyi stiffly replied.

Zhao Chong expressed his surprise, "Oh? Who is that?"

"His name is Ye Fan!" Yu Xiangyi didn't dare to conceal the truth.

Zhao Chong looked again at the napkin and with regret, he said, "Minister Yu, I can assure you that this development list on the napkin is authentic and its value is incalculable. Unfortunately, the napkin has been stored for too long, with much of the writing faded and blurry, so we can't attempt to develop it!"

"What? Incalculable value?" Yu Xiangyi said, astounded.

Zhao Chong solemnly nodded, "Let me put it this way, just this development list, if word got out, could be worth hundreds of millions. In case of a bidding war, it might be worth tens of billions or even more!"

"Billions or even tens of billions? Ye Fan didn't lie to me!" Yu Xiangyi was stunned.

She remembered clearly, when Ye Fan produced this cosmetic formula list, her boyfriend Bi Yuntao had even mocked Ye Fan repeatedly.

At the time, Ye Fan said that this formula list was worth at least a billion, Yu Xiangyi sneered at the claim and didn't take it seriously at all, who would have thought Ye Fan wasn't joking with her? Enjoy new adventures from m-v l'e|-NovelFire.net

Old Zhou, Zhou Yuan, chimed in, "Director Zhao is right, the Preserving Beauty series of cosmetics are rare globally. If word gets out, I fear that world-class tycoons would be willing to spend tens of billions to acquire it in a bidding war!"

"Director Yu, you have to understand, like many high-end cosmetic brands, for example, Estée Lauder, SK2's Miracle Water, and other top-notch flagship products, their formula lists are worth way over ten billion, not to mention the Preserving Beauty series!"

"My God!" Yu Xiangyi was so shocked she didn't know what to say.

Zhao Chong lamented, "It's such a pity, the writing is blurred and unclear; otherwise, we could start production right now!"

"My fault!" Yu Xiangyi said, looking dejected.

Last Friday night, after Ye Fan gave her the formula list, she carelessly stuffed it into her pocket, causing the napkin to become crumpled, and many of the words were now illegible.

Zhou Yuan hurriedly said, "Director Yu, can you still get in touch with this friend? If you can, contact him immediately!" S~eaʀᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Right, Minister Yu, contact your friend immediately. As long as he can write another list, I'll spare no expense. If the product development is successful, not only will I, but also Minister Yu and everyone present, will get a promotion and a raise!" Zhao Chong said, invigorated.

Yu Xiangyi swallowed hard and said, "My relationship with Ye Fan isn't good, but he's my best friend's husband, I can try to contact him!"

At this moment, Yu Xiangyi felt like she was about to faint.

If she had known this was a genuine Preserving Beauty cosmetic formula list, she should have treated it like a treasure from the start, instead of carelessly stuffing it into her pocket, leading to the now blurred writing.

"Minister Yu, hurry, quickly contact your best friend, we can't let this formula list fall into someone else's hands again!" Zhao Chong urged frantically.

Yu Xiangyi nodded and immediately took out her phone to find Su Ruoxue's number and called her right away.

At that time, Su Ruoxue had just arrived at the general manager's office. Seeing a call from Yu Xiangyi, Su Ruoxue expressed her surprise, "Xiangyi, how come you have time to call me?"

"Ruoxue, where's your husband?" Yu Xiangyi asked hurriedly.

Su Ruoxue responded with surprise, "What's the matter, Xiangyi? Are you looking for Ye Fan? Could it be because of last Friday's formula list? Xiangyi, don't take what Ye Fan did to heart, even though I know him well, I also don't think that was a real formula list, you really shouldn't mind it!"

As Su Corporation is involved in cosmetics, Su Ruoxue clearly understood what a formula list meant. In her mind, Ye Fan knew nothing about cosmetics, so now recalling last Friday's list, Su Ruoxue only thought it might have been something Ye Fan wrote on a whim.

"No, no, Ruoxue, the formula list is real, it's just that I've made the writing blurry!" Yu Xiangyi hurriedly explained.

Su Ruoxue exclaimed in astonishment, "What? It's real? Xiangyi, you're not joking with me, are you?"

"Ruoxue, I'm really not joking, where's your husband?" Yu Xiangyi asked again.

Su Ruoxue found it incredibly hard to believe, but hesitated and then said, "Ye Fan has taken Ling'er to school!"

"Which school?" Yu Xiangyi asked decisively.

Su Ruoxue replied directly, "Baihua Road Experimental Primary School!"

"Director Zhao, Ye Fan has gone to Baihua Road Experimental Primary School to drop off the little girl!"

Upon learning of Ye Fan's whereabouts, Yu Xiangyi quickly relayed the message to Zhao Chong.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chong made an instant decision and bellowed, "Quick, prepare the car, head to Baihua Road Experimental Primary School to find Mr. Ye immediately!"
