Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

Chen Dong said gently, "Shen Yue, your achievements in the cosmetics industry are obvious to all. I just think that since we are in different industries but are both striving for our careers, exchanging experiences might inspire each other and help us make progress together."

Shen Yue snorted, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes, but it disappeared in an instant: "Hmph, what could I possibly learn from your pig farm?"

Chen Dong remained calm and patiently explained, "Shen Yue, there are 360 ​​professions, and every profession can produce an expert. Every industry has its unique tricks. Take this exhibition for example, I focused on showcasing the characteristics of pig farms, such as multiparous pig breeds and green farming models, in order to attract everyone's attention."

"This is essentially the same as your new product launch event; both aim to help consumers gain a deeper understanding of the product. The only difference is the method and the target audience."

Shen Yue frowned slightly, and had to admit that Chen Dong's words were not entirely unreasonable.

But she has always been strong-willed, and she still refused to back down: "So what? Cosmetics are for making people beautiful, while pork is for eating. How can they be the same? Consumers' needs and psychology are completely different."

Chen Dong nodded in agreement and continued, "You're right, but from a marketing perspective, there's one thing in common: accurately identifying consumer pain points. Our pig farm focuses on green farming, producing high-quality pork that caters to everyone's growing demand for healthy food."

"If you're making cosmetics, you're definitely developing products around consumers' pursuit of beauty and skincare. The key is to find the right positioning and then clearly communicate the product's value to consumers through appropriate channels."

Shen Yue appeared calm on the surface, but secretly admired Chen Dong's insights.

But she still pretended to be calm and said casually, "I understood these principles when I entered this industry, so you don't need to tell me. I just didn't expect that your pig farm would cause such a big stir at the school."

Chen Dong looked at Shen Yue with sincere and focused eyes: "There's another crucial point, which is learning to utilize the resources around us. This exhibition owes a lot to the full support of the school's agricultural club."

"With their professional knowledge, they helped me explain the aquaculture-related content in a clear and concise way, and they also contributed a lot to organizing events. In business operations, finding reliable partners can often make things go more smoothly and achieve twice the result with half the effort. You've been working in the cosmetics industry for a while, so you must have many capable partners, right?"

Shen Yue pursed her lips and replied with a hint of pride, "Of course, I have very close cooperation with raw material suppliers and sales channels. However, the cooperation model with your pig farm is quite different."

Just as the two were deep in conversation, Chu Mengran appeared at the entrance of the square.

Today she was wearing a light pink dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her steps, and a delicate white leather belt around her waist, outlining her slender figure.

Her long, glossy black hair cascaded smoothly over her shoulders, with a few wisps of hair playfully falling on either side of her face, adding to her lively charm.

Her face was originally beaming with a relaxed smile, but when she caught sight of Chen Dong and Shen Yue standing together, talking intently, her smile froze instantly. It felt as if an invisible hand was gently gripping her heart, and jealousy welled up involuntarily.

Chu Mengran wrinkled her nose slightly, looking just like a cat with its fur standing on end, and then quickened her pace, walking towards them.

"Dongzi, what are you two talking about?" Chu Mengran walked to Chen Dong's side and naturally took his arm. She tightened her grip slightly, as if declaring her ownership to Shen Yue, her eyes filled with a hint of wariness as she stared intently at Shen Yue.

Chen Dong keenly noticed the change in Chu Mengran's emotions, gently patted her hand that was holding his, and explained with a smile, "Mengran, Shen Yue and I are exchanging business experiences. Shen Yue has accumulated a lot of valuable experience in the cosmetics industry, and there are many things we can learn from her."

Chu Mengran glanced at Shen Yue, forced a smile, and said with a hint of bitterness in her voice, "Oh, I see."

Shen Yue took in Chu Mengran's reaction and found it somewhat amusing, but she maintained her haughty demeanor: "What, Chu Mengran, are you afraid I'll steal Chen Dong away from you?"

Chu Mengran's cheeks flushed instantly, feeling both embarrassed and angry. She raised her voice and retorted, "I'm not afraid at all! Dongzi only has me in his heart, and no one can take him away."

Chen Dong quickly comforted Chu Mengran, his voice so gentle it could melt hearts: "Mengran, don't be angry, Shen Yue was just joking. We were really just discussing business matters." As he spoke, he turned to look at Shen Yue, a smile on his face, "Shen Yue, you see, my girlfriend cares about me a lot. I've always felt that while career is important, family and the people around you are equally important, and you have to balance the two."

Looking at the intimate relationship between Chen Dong and Chu Mengran, Shen Yue couldn't help but feel a pang of envy.

Looking back, I realize that I was so focused on my career and the development of Yueyue Cosmetics Company that I was often so busy that I neglected many of the wonderful things in life.

But she has a strong personality and still speaks toughly: "Hmph, I'm not as sentimental as you. For me, career comes first."

Chen Dong simply smiled and did not continue arguing with Shen Yue about the topic.

He knew in his heart that beneath Shen Yue's seemingly tough exterior lay a soft yet resilient heart.

Just then, a student wearing black-rimmed glasses and a blue school uniform rushed over, his face showing urgency: "Senior Chen, there are quite a few students over there who are very interested in the pig farming techniques. They'd like you to come over and explain in detail. Is that convenient for you?"

Chen Dong nodded without hesitation, then turned to Chu Mengran and Shen Yue and said, "I'll go over there first, you two chat for a bit."

After Chen Dong left, Chu Mengran and Shen Yue stood facing each other, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

After a long silence, Chu Mengran broke the silence first. She lowered her head slightly, her hands unconsciously clutching the hem of her skirt, and said softly, "Shen Yue, I know you are very successful in your career. But Dongzi is the most important person to me. Could you please keep some distance from him in the future?"

Shen Yue looked at Chu Mengran, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, then smiled and said in a rare gentle tone, "Don't worry, I have no other thoughts about him. It's just that some of his business ideas he shared today were quite novel and interesting. However, you'd better keep a close eye on him; these days, there are plenty of people eyeing outstanding men."

Chu Mengran's face flushed red again. She gently bit her lip and whispered, "I will."
