Emergency shutdown

  During the summer vacation, Pang Hua was mostly in a state of being "locked up". Not because he did anything wrong, but because he was receiving treatment.

  Chen Haosheng is using his face and a large sum of money for experimentation.

  Large pits, deep pits, shallow pits, red marks, black marks, brown spots. She did a lot of homework and used two different types of micro-needles and two newly developed nano-needles, as well as glycolic acid (which must be used separately and cannot be mixed with other products), bfgf (dermal layer), egf (epidermal layer), placenta, L-cysteine, rose, peony, and many other ingredients. The overbearing nature of glycolic acid was something she had experienced before, but this stuff has no effect on deep acne pits, at least not on Peng Hua's face.

  Chen Huasheng made a detailed record and took photos of almost every pit for documentation.

  Then Pang Hua was in trouble.

  The place where micro-needling is used will certainly be red and swollen with bleeding, can't see people, but the cost is low and the effect is more obvious.

  Nanoneedles are safe and painless, but the effect is slightly slower. With high-tech content, the comprehensive cost is not a few times higher than microneedles, but ten times or even dozens of times higher.

  "The club needs to use nano-needles." Chen Huai-cheng brought the micro-needle project's beautician leader and club manager to his own studio, took out a file folder and suggested on the spot.

  "I agree." Pang Hua has gone through a month of "torture", and the redness and swelling on her face have basically disappeared. "The most severe needle, as soon as it was used, it started bleeding, and it didn't heal for a week - one time it was fruit acid, another time it was growth liquid... But I have to say, using the needle that caused the most harm seemed to have the best effect."

  "Those two deepest pits on your face have almost recovered," the leader exclaimed. Of course, it's still a long way from being smooth, but they can no longer be called "big pits", at most they are shallow pits.

  "Even TCA chemical peeling has been done. But aftercare needs to be extra careful."

  "Nan Jiao. Our clients are rarely in such a situation as Xiao Pang." The club manager said with finality. "The price can also be opened like this."

  "This is the price sent by my junior. The difference between wholesale and retail prices alone is not bad. Also, I have listed a batch of original liquids here, all from Switzerland."

  The cost of materials for one month is already over a thousand. Hmm, it's a good business.

  "After Xiaopang's needle treatment, I'll take care of the rest!" The manager exclaimed with excitement, patting his chest to guarantee. "In two years, your face should be basically fine."

  "Uh, the raw materials, essential oils, aftercare products and so on, will also be needed two years later. He'll pay for it himself." Chen Huan's business instincts were absolutely no worse than his opponent's.

  "Doesn't your own company sell through agents?"

  "No, they like to have control in their own hands. I just need to be able to wholesale it. The condition I negotiated with that company is either not lower than their market price or as a non-sale item."

  "By the way, I heard you also opened an online store for someone else. Let's take a look at the goods! That thermal underwear is really warm, right?" The manager came over and had other concerns as well.

  "Come to my place for a visit." Chen Huaisheng invited everyone to his home for tea.

  The coolness of the air conditioner had barely dissipated when Chen Haosheng's residence began to take effect.

  "Wow! You sleep upstairs, ah? Ah, your bed is really...” The two ladies who came back to visit for the first time saw the extremely trendy and practical bar counter, tea table, and the carpet on the floor that was pieced together like an abstract painting, and their eyes widened in amazement.

  "This carpet is really... artistic when put together. Did you assemble it yourself?"

  "It's easier to clean this way, bit by bit." Chen Hui stood on the ladder, operating the retractable clothes rack in front of the three-meter-high floor-to-ceiling window. He threw the dried clothes, towels and bedding directly onto the attic bed, while the newly cleaned rug was thrown to the ground. The motion made people dizzy.

  "Huh? You're using space like this. It's really... amazing. Where did you put this carpet?"

  Pang Hua quietly took the two small pieces of colored plush carpet that Chen Huai had thrown down from the top of the ladder and laid them on the floor between the open kitchen and living space, while another gray one was laid in front of the bathroom door.

  Such a well-behaved, home-loving and diligent big boy, making two female guests envious.

  "There's a way to do things in a small place." Chen Xiaoze climbed down the aluminum ladder and put it away. "The attic of this building is generally low and can only be used as a storage room, or like me, lay a mattress on the bottom floor for living."

  After washing his hands, Chen Huasheng moved the tea table a bit to form a four-person seating arrangement and started brewing tea on a bamboo-made Kung Fu tea tray. The tea being brewed was rose green tea.

  "Little Chen, this carpet, when pieced together, really looks like a painting."

  "Take a look at that oil painting on the wall, the printed kind. I was inspired by it. Who do you think I am to paint an abstract art piece myself?"

  Everyone suddenly understood. So it was!

  Boiling tea water in a white porcelain cup with some ice cubes added, adjusted to individual's preferred temperature.

  "Ah, this is really enjoyable!"

  "Little Chen, is this ice cube lemon water?!"

  "Yes, squeeze the juice of a lemon into cold boiled water, then chill it. This way, when you add hot water later and drink it, it will be a more diluted lemon water."

  "Enjoy!"

  Although the house is small, although the decoration and furniture are simple, there is no large screen LCD TV - but it is extremely comfortable.

  "How about having some dessert?"

  "...But preferably, um, low in fat."

  Chen Huanxiong smiled and ran to the studio, brought back a plate of pancakes, and then slightly heated them in the microwave. But finally, what was also carried up together with it... was ice cream.

  "Want some ice cream on top of the cake?"

  "Chen Hua Sheng, I hate you! Die!"

  "Don't worry, this ice cream and pancake are low-fat and trans fat-free. You can take the subway back to your place, don't sit down on the way, and you'll basically burn it off. If not, I'll make another cup of black coffee without sugar or milk, which has a great slimming effect."

  "I want to clear my throat."

  "Clear throat."

  "I don't like black coffee, I'll have tea instead."

  "Do you want lotus leaf tea?"

  "Let's just have rose tea then, it tastes good."

  A scoop of cold ice cream was placed on top of a hot pancake, divided into four pieces, with a cherry on each piece!

  Cherries too! Not cheaper even if smaller.

  "Alas, Chen Huai Sheng, no wonder you said you didn't have money to buy a house and decorate it, it's all spent on food and drink."

  "What you eat affects your health and mood directly, how can it be casual?! And isn't this house very comfortable?"

  "Comfortable!" Everyone ate with great satisfaction! Moreover, the ice cream and cake were not too sweet, even Pang Hua liked to eat.

  "Sitting for a long time may be uncomfortable, you can try that lazy sofa over there." Chen Hui pointed to a red thing in the corner.

  "Oh!"

  The guests reluctantly left. The leader who didn't like Qingga finally poured a paper cup of mocha coffee with condensed milk before leaving.

  "I reckon they'll redo the decoration once they get back." Pang Hua commented. He wasn't too fond of Chen Huai's overly homey style, so under her suggestion, he added some postmodern furniture to their new place, combining elements like stainless steel, engineering plastics, wooden boards and colorful storage boxes - probably enough to give these two a split personality if they were to see it from both sides at the same time.

  "No, the cost of renovation is too high. They might put some thought into details like adding a coffee bar and different small pastries every day. The boss will definitely like it."

  "So, you haven't considered quitting your job in these few years, right?"

  "I won't be laid off. Recently, I've been the only one going to several important clients, so my boss shouldn't let me go or stop being an assistant. Yeah, I still need a fixed salary."

  "Ah... I'll probably be able to finish my thesis by the end of the year. Graduating next year." Pang Hua rarely called her by name.

  "Alright, let's do e-commerce together next year and make the company bigger." Chen Huan looked at the time and it was almost time to boil water and cook the frozen wontons for dinner. "Of course, you need to continue researching the formula, after all, this is my specialty, and you can be considered as learning by doing... We invested so much money and effort in R&D, and I even registered the brand and got the license, it would be a waste if we don't use it."

  "I...". Pang Hua hesitated for half a day and finally said bravely, "Considering staying in school to be a physics lecturer."

  "Alas, now my future development is still just a concept, it's hard to say whether I can make it happen. You have a job, at least you have money for vacations and buying clothes... hmm, sooner or later I'll need a bigger office, and a house too. I reckon I'll be asking you for a loan, and when things turn around, I can lend more cash to you."

  "...Pang Hua told her that changing one's mind is like making a 180-degree turn. She was stunned."

  "What's wrong!" Chen Huanxiong smiled and looked at him, "Let me put it this way, even if you say you want to go back to my dad's college as a teacher, I'll still make you work."

  If he no longer works, no longer works for her, the two will disband, she gives him a sum of money, and then adjusts the shares... and that's the end. Chen Huasheng naturally wouldn't put this idea on his face, increasing Pang Hua's psychological burden. However, she also knows that now he depends on her way of life for everything, and it will change sooner or later, changing with the recovery of his appearance.

  "Oh, I think it's fine now."

  "I am too. Later on, I found a better pattern and changed it. Nothing is permanent or eternal. Basically, except for deep kinship, all emotions will fade, change, and disappear - especially so-called love. The probability of being together forever is too small, this world and the changes in people's hearts are too fast."

  Pang Hua felt that Chen Huasheng's words had a strange and mysterious tone, so he tactfully avoided the topic and changed it to his decision not to do any administrative work, only teaching a few classes, and having attractive winter and summer vacations. Although the income was slightly lower, it was similar to the salary of Chen Huasheng's assistant, which was neither high nor low. He wanted to first have a stable foundation for himself.
