“If there’s anything you need from me, just let me know.”
Grandma Wen had already guessed that Chen Lu visited her for a certain reason. However, she hadn’t yet figured out what the reason was.
“I’m very optimistic about the future of your granddaughter, Jian Yiling. Therefore, I want the opportunity to cooperate with her. As I do not know your granddaughter well, I hope you can introduce her to me.”
What? Jian Yiling?
Chen Lu visited today because of Jian Yiling?
Never in a thousand years did Wen Ruo expect this.
Even Grandma Wen did not expect this. She was in shock that the Vice President of Sofia was visiting today because of her granddaughter.
But… Her granddaughter wasn’t involved in the fashion industry right?
“Vice President Chen Lu, are you sure that you’re looking for my granddaughter Jian Yiling?”
Grandma Wen had to confirm the situation again. This was to make sure that Chen Lu didn’t mention the wrong name.
“Yep, I’m looking for your granddaughter, Miss Jian Yiling.”
“Why is that the case?” Grandma Wen asked. She couldn’t help but be curious.
“Well, our company believes that Miss Jian Yiling has a lot of talent in the study of medicine. Therefore, we want to hire her to become the manager of our medical cosmetics research and development department.”
Chen Lu was smart enough to not mention that she already knew that Jian Yiling was a member of the research and development team from XDL. She only mentioned that she took a fancy to Jian Yiling’s medical talent and expertise.
Chen Lu wanted Jian Yiling to join Sofia?! And she wanted her to directly become the manager of their medical cosmetics research and development department?!
This was something that neither Grandma Wen nor Wen Ruo expected.
“This…” Grandma Wen started. “I’m not sure if Yiling has the talent for this. I only know of her capabilities when it comes to performing surgical operations.”

“Miss Jian Yiling was chosen by Lahaisen Hospital. To be a member of their organization, it is definite that her talent is extraordinary. At Sofia, we need talented individuals like her,” Chen Lu responded with certainty.
Upon hearing this, Grandma Wen did not know how to respond.
Wen Ruo asked in a soft voice: “Does Sofia plan to expand into medical cosmetics?”
Chen Lu smiled before she replied: “Yes we do. Medical cosmetics is a good field. However, there are barriers to entry. One being technical expertise as it’s not easy to pass the audit of the State Food and Drug Administration. It’s unlike general cosmetics. Therefore, people are now becoming increasingly inclined to purchase such products.”
Wen Ruo: “I know my cousin is talented in the field of surgery but she might not know much about medical cosmetics. I worry that she may not be able to take on such a huge task.”

Upon hearing this, the smile on Chen Lu’s face did not change. However, her eyes filled with a bit of mockery.
If it weren’t for the fact that she already knew that Jian Yiling was part of XDL’s research and development team, she would easily believe in Wen Ruo’s words.
It seemed as though her previous speculation was correct. The relationship between Wen Ruo and Jian Yiling was indeed poor.
Chen Lu smiled again before she said: “Oh? Miss Wen Ruo seems quite familiar with Miss Jian Yiling’s achievements in the study of medicine.”
Wen Ruo: “I only know a little. Sometimes, I listen to the conversations that happen between my cousins. My cousin Yiling is definitely talented in performing operations. Her peers can not even compete against her. However, I feel as though she’s less involved in medical cosmetics and pharmaceutical research as a whole. Therefore, she might fail to live up to your expectations.”

Grandma Wen listened to Wen Ruo speak. She did not dare to correct Wen Ruo’s words.
After all, she did not know much about her granddaughter’s medical career.
