The few of them were merrily eating and drinking when Wen Xinya said, “Junling, do you know where we can buy imitation products from the Tang dynasty, such as writings, paintings, ceramics, etc.?”

Gu Junling smiled and said, “You asked the right person—our Gu Family has a business in this area. I can bring you to have a look—you can pick whatever you like and I’ll give you a fifty percent discount for everything.”

Wen Xinya was shocked. “Your Gu Family is also into imitation business?”

Gu Junling smiled and said, “You should know that the ancient pottery of Country Z has always been pursued by the whole world. However, currently, the amount of ceramics produced by Country Z’s four main pottery cellars falls short of the market demand by a huge margin, making them more and more pricey, and writings and paintings are even rarer. Thus, imitation products emerged as the times require. This line of business has always been profiteering—our Gu Family has connections in this area and can naturally do it.”

“I see.” Gu Family’s official businesses did not include imitation. She vaguely guessed that the business in this area was probably private. To do imitation business on a large scale required connections with the underworld—based on the Gu Family’s background, it was understandable for them to do such a business.

Instead, Gu Junling was very curious about what Wen Xinya was going to do. “You’re behaving oddly recently—are you thinking of doing any business?”

Many rich kids in the capital city would invest in some business themselves to earn some pocket money. Thus, regarding Wen Xinya’s actions, although he was curious, he didn’t feel surprised.

Wen Xinya didn’t keep it from them either. “I’m going to start a cosmetics company and plan to fashion the storefront in the style of imperial palaces of the ancient Tang dynasty.”

Gu Junling clapped and said, “Indeed, you dare to act on your thoughts. You’re not the first one to think of such an idea, but you’re the first to dare to act upon it. That’s because of the massive manpower, resources, finances, and energy the investment requires, as well as the rarity of connections in this area. However, employing such hype in the cosmetics line is indeed very attractive.”

However, Ling Qingxuan said curiously, “Cosmetics is one of the mainstream luxury products. Your Wen Corporation already has pretty good cosmetics brands which already currently owns a portion of the market. Do you intend to manage the cosmetics brand under the Wen Corporation?”

Wen Xinya shook her head, smiled, and said, “I’m planning to combine branding, production, and sales into one, chosen to manage a brand for Traditional Chinese Medicine skincare, employing the hype of the skincare secrets of the imperial palaces, and create a high-class, luxurious, and extravagant brand. I don’t want it to have anything to do with the Wen Family’s business, so my Grandpa still doesn’t know—hope you guys can keep it a secret.”

Such words from Wen Xinya already shocked the few people present, especially Gu Junling. “The Floral Lingo Pavilion is also doing research in the area of Traditional Chinese Medicine skincare, but without good results. Furthermore, you really have the guts to employ the hype of imperial palaces skincare secrets.”

Wen Xinya smiled and said, “Grandpa Du’s granddaughter, Du Ruo, has obtained some results from her research in this area. Thus, I’m cooperating with her.”

“Previously, the skincare products that you left at the Floral Lingo Pavilion were all made from Du Ruo’s formulas?” Previously, the beautician at the Floral Lingo Pavilion had mentioned to him that the skincare products left behind by Wen Xinya had astonishing results—if it was possible to bring in such products, the Floral Lingo Pavilion’s business would attain greater heights. However, he did not take it to heart.

“That’s right. They were given to me by Ruo Ruo—absolutely organic and irritant-free,” said Wen Xinya as she smiled and nodded.

Gu Junling gasped. The Traditional Chinese Medicine skincare market was one that he understood better than anyone else. His Floral Lingo Pavilion had only formulated a few types of ancient essences which already roughly accounted for a third of the Floral Lingo Pavilion’s profits, not to mention Traditional Chinese Medicine skincare.
