Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 526 - 529: No Joke

Before Liu Ergou could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Orange Bear.

"I'm willing, I'm willing!"

This time, it was Liu Ergou's turn to be stunned. He had simply wanted to tease Orange Bear, but he never expected him to actually agree to his request. This… this… For a moment, Liu Ergou was at a loss for words.

Seeing the silent Liu Ergou beside her, Lu Shuangyue couldn't help but laugh. The usually so-smooth Liu Ergou, speechless for once. That's actually pretty interesting.

Noticing that Orange Bear was eager to say more, Lu Shuangyue quickly coughed, breaking the awkward atmosphere. "Ahem, ahem, hold on! Let's put the topic of you attending to me at night on hold for now, shall we? Let's stick to business!"

After speaking, Lu Shuangyue turned to Orange Bear. "Um, Orange, the two of us didn't come here to joke around. We have something serious to discuss! I want to ask for your opinion. What do you think would be an appropriate price for our Snow Skin Cream? Er Gou and I can't decide, and we figured that since you're an influencer, you definitely know the cosmetics market. We wanted to see what you thought."

Hearing Lu Shuangyue, Orange Bear immediately dropped his shy expression and became serious. After a moment of thought, he finally said, "Ahem, I was just thinking about that carefully. I understand the effects of the Snow Skin Cream better than anyone; I'm a firsthand user, after all. So, the reference price I would suggest is 50,000 per bottle!"

He then added, "And it would be best to make it 30 milliliters per bottle! That way, its rarity will increase its value."

At these words, Liu Ergou's jaw dropped in astonishment. In his mind, he had positioned the Snow Skin Cream at a price of around 1,800, but Orange Bear had just shot straight to 50,000. The price was simply too outrageous. Would anyone actually buy it?

Voicing his concern, Liu Ergou said, "Hold on, Orange. I know our Snow Skin Cream is incredibly effective, but isn't that price a bit too high? That's 50,000, not 5,000! At a price that steep, will anyone really buy it?"

Hearing this, Orange Bear flashed a confident smile. "Don't you worry, Er Gou!" he said. "I'm intimately familiar with the effects of the Snow Skin Cream. The allure of perfect skin for a woman is something that can't be described in words! Trust me, once we announce this price, some people will probably still say we're selling it too cheap!"

Liu Ergou couldn't help but look shocked. This was completely beyond his expectations.

Just then, Lu Shuangyue spoke up. "Orange, I don't really have an opinion on the price of the Snow Skin Cream, but have you considered this? A 50,000 price tag will certainly bring us high profits, but it will also mean losing a segment of the market. And that lost segment is the mass market. What ordinary family do you think would spend 50,000 on a single skincare product?"

As soon as Lu Shuangyue finished, Orange Bear offered a solution without even having to think. "Sister Shuangyue, I've already thought about that! You see how everything has a 'youth edition' these days? This so-called youth edition is just a watered-down version of the original. We can do the same for our Snow Skin Cream. We'll just create a version with diluted effects, one that isn't quite as good as the original."

Orange Bear's words brought a look of surprise to Lu Shuangyue's face. How come I didn't think of such a good idea?

While Lu Shuangyue was pondering this, Orange Bear turned to Liu Ergou. "Er Gou, you don't have a problem with creating a youth edition of the Snow Skin Cream, do you?"

Liu Ergou immediately nodded, indicating he had no issue with it.

Just as one problem was solved, another one followed. This time, however, the question came not from Liu Ergou or Lu Shuangyue, but from Orange Bear. He looked at them earnestly and asked, "Er Gou, Sister Shuangyue, when can we officially start selling our Snow Skin Cream? You need to give me a general timeline so I can start generating some pre-launch hype. That's the only way to maximize our profits. Otherwise, if we just put it on the market cold, the sales won't be very good, even with me promoting it."

Liu Ergou wanted to answer, but he didn't know the current status of the cream, so he could only turn to Lu Shuangyue. After hearing Orange Bear's question, Lu Shuangyue fell into deep thought. The factory for the Snow Skin Cream was established, mass production could begin, and the batch numbers and relevant permits were all approved. There were no more obstacles. The sooner they started selling, the better.

Thinking this, Lu Shuangyue spoke. "Well… the Snow Skin Cream can be mass-produced now, so go ahead and start the pre-launch campaign. I expect we can start selling in a few days!"

Hearing her answer, Orange Bear gave her an "OK" sign and immediately started making a series of phone calls. About half an hour later, he finally seemed to have finished.

"Alright, Sister Shuangyue, I've given the instructions. The sales department will come up with a plan and start the product hype soon. Just let me know the date, and I can start the live broadcast immediately!"

Having received a definitive answer, Lu Shuangyue didn't say much more and motioned for Liu Ergou to leave with her. But before they had taken more than a few steps, Liu Ergou suddenly turned back to Orange Bear. "Orange, about what I said earlier… I wasn't joking."

He flashed a lecherous grin. "Remember to come find me in the Baozhi Hall office tonight. I'll be there!"

His words instantly made Orange Bear's face turn beet red. Lu Shuangyue's reaction wasn't much better. Liu Ergou's words were completely unexpected. She'd thought he was just joking around, but he was actually serious! This was… 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

At that thought, Lu Shuangyue's face flushed as she grabbed Liu Ergou and pushed him hurriedly out of the office, not even giving him a chance to speak.

It wasn't until they were downstairs that she finally said, exasperated, "Liu Ergou! You actually… you actually…" She was too embarrassed to finish the sentence, so she could only glare at him, puffing her cheeks.

But Liu Ergou just chuckled and, reaching out, swept her into his arms.

"Hehehe, Shuangyue, what did I 'actually' do?" he said with a laugh. "Let me tell you, this is going to be the new normal from now on! I'm just helping you get used to it in advance, so you won't be so shy later. Hehehe!"

Held in Liu Ergou's embrace, Lu Shuangyue looked at his grinning face, wanting to say something more but finding herself speechless.
