âChengrui, do many people go to your hospital for skin disease treatment?â Zhou Ying asked after dinner.
âOr rather, acne, spots, and so on.â
Gu Chengrui immediately understood that she wanted to launch a new skincare product.
After pondering for a moment, he said, âAcre are rare cases, but some serious cases require a doctorâs treatment.
âAs for spots, there are quite a lot.
âHowever, it was still difficult to see them with makeup on. Therefore, if you want to improve your skincare products, you could start with anti-wrinkle products.
âThere would be more people buying that.â
âAnti-wrinkle?â Zhou Ying nodded in agreement.
In ancient times, women got married early and had children earlier. Naturally, they would start to worry early. Anyone in their thirties would more or less start to have wrinkles. So, such a product would garner a wider audience.
âIâll listen to you then, but you have to give me the prescription.â She nodded.
âDonât worry, Iâll give it to you after the New Year. Oh, right, Sun Hongniang and Uncle Liu have arrived today. Thereâs a high chance that theyâll come to the residence for a gathering tomorrow.
âGet someone to arrange a table of high-class dishes.â
âUncle Liu is here? I havenât seen him for three to four years.â
âYeah, according to Brother Zhou, he transferred Uncle Liu here. After some discussion, he plans to send him to the Northern Continent next year to take charge of the business there.â
âAh, heâs getting promoted.â
âYeah, itâs not easy there. Thatâs why Brother Zhou chose him.â
âBy the way, speaking of Brother Zhou, howâs Zhou Huaiyuâs marriage going?
Has it been decided yet?â
âI havenât heard anything. Have you heard anything?â
âNo, ever since you guys returned to the capital, Mingyu has been so busy that her feet havenât touched the ground. I havenât seen her for more than a month.â
âI guess thereâs no result.
âHowever, his marriage shouldnât be taken lightly, and it still depends on the Emperorâs wishes. Iâm afraid the Old General has to consider it carefully.â
Zhou Ying nodded after listening and threw it to the back of her mind.
The next day, when Zhou Ying was almost done preparing the food, Manager Liu, Sun Hongliang, and even Zhou Huaimingâs family of three came.
Zhou Ying immediately went forward and invited everyone into the house.
Gu Chengrui, who was in his study, heard the voices and immediately walked out. âBrother Zhou, Uncle Liu, and Brother Sun, please have a seat.â
âWhat tea would you like to drink?â Zhou Ying asked.
âChrysanthemum, I guess. Iâve been a little busy recently, so Iâm a little hearty.â Zhou Huaiming replied.
âAlright, wait a moment.â After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she asked Niu Li to make a pot of tea.
âAunty, aunty, whereâs Sister Guoguo?â Zhuangzhuang looked around the room but did not see Guoguo, so he ran over and pulled her sleeve.
âGuoguo is playing with building blocks. Do you want to play with her?â
âI want.â
Seeing this, Zhou Ying asked Qiuxiang to bring him and his nanny to the West Courtyard.
âOh? Guoguo is so young, and youâre letting her sleep alone?â Mingyu asked in surprise.
âNo, Iâve been busy recently and couldnât care for her. She ran to the West Courtyard every day and stuck to Chenglin.â
âItâs good that thereâs someone to help you look after her.â Mingyu nodded.
âDid you prepare roast duck for lunch?â she asked. âI want to eat roast duck.â
âOf course. Not only is there roast duck, but thereâs also roast chicken. What else do you want to eat?â Zhou Ying asked. âHurry up and tell me. Otherwise, itâll be too late.â
âI heard that thereâs a Buddha Jumps Over the Wall dish that recently came out. Itâs so seductive that people have lost their soulsâ¦â
âAs expected of you and your husband, you know everything about good food.
âHowever, Iâm afraid you wonât be able to eat it today.
âBuddha Jumps Over the Wall is a soup that would take more than a day to prepare.
âThatâs why I canât make it, and the restaurant is all reserved. If you want to eat, I can only get someone to send a portion to the residence at noon
tomorrow..â
