Chapter 333 Empress Starts to Do Business
Although there are the likes of Lin Mier, Lin Siqian, and Jiang Ming, there are also those like Xu Jiayang and Lu Huashan.
And then there’s these three, who are actually quite nice.
Maybe it’s because their interests don’t clash much with hers.
Qiao Li is a model, Yin Guo is a singer, and she is an actress.
Zhuang Xuejun, although also an actress, has a gentle nature, not competitive or aggressive, likely someone who isn’t willing to go with the flow.
Otherwise, with her beauty and talent, it’s impossible for her to have been in the entertainment industry for more than a decade without making much of a splash.
As for Ruan Jiajia...
Xia Weibao glanced from the corner of her eye and saw Ruan Jiajia with a displeased expression.
Obviously, she’s not easy to get along with, too opportunistic.
Xia Weibao didn’t bother; she made friends as they come, separated if they didn’t mesh well, never forcing anything.
She then took the yogurt from Zhuang Xuejun, "Thanks."
Opened it, and drank.
Zhuang Xuejun, "..."
"I secretly brought this for you to use as a cold compress, not for drinking!"
Glutton!
It was very difficult to find yogurt in this military camp.
If not applied as a compress, by tomorrow her skin would definitely start peeling!
Xia Weibao raised an eyebrow, "No worries, I have this."
As she spoke, she took out a bottle of something from her luggage and tossed it over.
Zhuang Xue caught it and sniffed, "What’s this?"
It was somewhat like a body lotion and somewhat like an ointment, with a faint scent of flowers, quite pleasant.
"It’s my body lotion, very effective. After applying it, you definitely won’t peel."
In fact, it was a medicinal ointment she made herself.
She had purposely made it look like body lotion; she usually used it for skincare, and it worked better than any skincare product.
She had also neutralized the medicinal scent by adding some pollen, making it smell comfortable.
It was even soothing to apply at night.
Zhuang Xuejun frowned, "What brand is this?"
The packaging was unfamiliar, seemed a bit odd.
Xia Weibao arched an eyebrow, "A secret."
"Which secret?" Qiao Li was curious.
As public figures like them, they pay a lot of attention to skincare, so they were familiar with many major brands of skincare products.
She’d never heard of a brand called Secret.
Could it be some off-brand product?
Impossible; Xia Weibao had such good skin, clearly a person who was adept at taking care of it.
She wouldn’t just use any off-brand product.
Unless this brand was really good!
"It must be related to honey, ’mi’ is often used in skincare product names. Am I right? Baby."
Zhuang Xuejun said smilingly.
Qiao Li nodded, "So it’s Secret Honey. How come I’ve never heard of this brand?"
Yin Guo also took it to have a look, "Do you usually use this for skincare? Is it effective?"
Xia Weibao felt as if a flock of crows had just flown over her head.
She had merely said "a secret" because she didn’t know how to explain, meaning it was confidential.
Yet, these three women, through their chatter, came up with a name all on their own.
Secret Honey, the name actually didn’t sound bad.
Suddenly, a light bulb went off.
That’s right, she could sell skincare products.
She had plenty of secret skincare formulas; all made from Chinese herbs, low-cost and effective.
Celebrities regularly spend a lot of money on skincare that’s expensive and not necessarily effective.
Her formulas were so good that once they experienced the results, they would definitely buy them.
She had been worrying about how to grow Divine Doctor Medical Hall; she had no time to see patients and couldn’t possibly open a medical hall specifically, after all, the entertainment industry was her career.
So, selling medicinal ointments was the best option!
Of course, she hadn’t thought of making it into a big brand; keeping it low-key was the main aim.
Those who needed them would come to buy, no advertising, relying on word of mouth for promotion, just to earn some extra cash.
