What do the three exclamation marks mean?

Lu Zhou looked at WeChat. He was wondering what this message meant. Suddenly, he received a phone call. He picked up the phone and put it next to his ear. Before he could say hello, the other end of the phone spoke first.

“Lu Zhou!!!”

Lu Zhou was shocked by this. He moved his phone slightly away from his ear and asked, “What are you yelling about?”

“The face mask!!!” Chen Yushan continued, “The face mask is amazing, what is it made of?!”

Lu Zhou finally understood what was going on. He had a look of realization on his face.

As expected, women are aesthetic creatures.

Even a competent and smart woman like Chen Yushan can’t control herself when she discovers something that improves her appearance.

Chen Yushan was in disbelief; she was almost going crazy. Lu Zhou twisted the pen in his hand and spoke.

“I feel like, even if I tell you what the mask is made of, you probably can’t make one yourself.”

The other end of the phone went silent.

Chen Yushan realized that she had asked a very stupid question. She flushed and smiled awkwardly.

“Oh… yeah, I think you’re right.”

Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head.

You’re so good at your job, but sometimes, you’re like a little kid.

After being friends for so many years, even though Chen Yushan had matured a lot, sometimes Lu Zhou still felt like she hadn’t changed at all.

“Speaking of which, this took you a while. It’s been more than two weeks since I gave you the mask.”

Chen Yushan twirled her hair with her finger and had a shy smile on her face.

There was no way she had the courage to smear the mysterious green substance on her face.

She started putting it on her neck and arms. After making sure she didn’t have any allergic reactions, she carefully put some on her face.

Then…

She couldn’t stop.

The mysterious mucus was like an invisible brush, sweeping every inch of her skin, over every pore, releasing the fatigue accumulated over the years.

She had used a lot of skincare products. Most of them were so expensive that the average person couldn’t afford them. However, she had never experienced any kind of joy from using luxurious skincare products.

When she washed off the dried dark green mucus from her face, she felt like she was reborn, like she was eighteen years old again…

She had completely fallen in love with this feeling.

Of course, as a good CEO, there was one other thing that excited her besides the magical effects of this skincare mask, that was, the huge business value behind this mask.

With this mask alone, someone could be at least five years younger and rejuvenate their skin. Even a logical person like herself couldn’t help but fall in love with this mask. There was no woman on Earth that could resist this magic.

This was like catnip for cats!

“I was busy with work back then, so I forgot about it and didn’t use it… But this is not the point! Do you know what this mask means? I’m not exaggerating, if we register a subsidiary to produce this mask, this will become our most profitable income stream!”

Listening to how excited Chen Yushan was, Lu Zhou couldn’t help but shut her down.

“Forget about it, I’m not planning on putting it on the market any time soon.”

Chen Yushan was stunned. She asked, “Why?”

“… I didn’t tell you this before. In fact, the mask you put on your face has a special… microbiome. Basically, it is a living thing that has not been inactivated. So far, it seems like its impact on the ecosystem is negligible. It cannot survive for a long time in an aerobic atmosphere. But we still have to treat it seriously.”

Lu Zhou paused for a second then continued, “Until we can be completely certain that it will not affect our ecosystem, using it on a large scale is an unwise choice.”

Chen Yushan: “What about on a small scale?”

Lu Zhou: “The risk is controllable because we found that the residual chlorine in tap water is absorbed by this microorganism’s synthetic intracellular ketones through respiration. This accelerates the death of this microorganism. If the reproduction speed remains constant, these microorganisms will disappear from the sewers within three days at most.”

“Oh, I see…”

Lu Zhou tried to comfort Chen Yushan.

“Don’t worry, even though it is temporarily unavailable for sale, if you still want it, you can come to the laboratory and get some. After a year or two, when we have made sure it is safe, we can begin selling them.”

“Sounds good… But I want the masks you made.”

“I don’t make any masks…” Lu Zhou smiled and said, “Don’t spread this rumor—”

Chen Yushan smiled and said. “Okay, fine, I know. If others know about it, they will say… Wow, a famous scientist likes skincare… Then your tall and handsome image is ruined. Am I right?”

Lu Zhou smiled and spoke.

“You know me too well.”

“Pfft!”

Chen Yushan rolled her eyes. She looked at herself on the floor to ceiling windows and smirked. She suddenly felt a weird feeling.

It was almost like the reflection of herself in the mirror wasn’t herself at all.

She didn’t know how to describe this feeling.

It just felt… relaxing…

She put her phone in her other hand and cleared her throat. She then said in a professional tone, “Speaking of which, there’s something I want to tell you. You kept interrupting, so I almost forgot.”

I’m interrupting?

However, he didn’t like to waste time arguing about useless things. Thus, he spoke concisely.

“Yeah, what?”

“The chairman of Shunfeng would like to make an appointment with you to discuss drone logistics. Are you interested? If you are not, I will push it away for you. If you are interested… When are you free?”
