A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Darren had once met an old man who was older than sixty but had the appearance of a forty-year-old. After Darren asked him several times about how he maintained his youth, the old man had finally answered. He had shared that he used some traditional Chinese herbs and a few other herbs from different parts of the world. Now, Darren wished he could hire this old man, but he wasn't able to find him again.

That was why Darren wanted to do the interview in person. As they neared the end of the interview session, a young lady walked in.

She was fair-skinned, and her skin looked as white as an eggshell. Quickly, she took out one of her previous photos and handed it to the panel of interviewers. Then, she sat down with a glowing smile on her face.

Curious, Darren slightly stretched out his head to sneak a peek at the picture. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw the same woman, but with her face covered in acne. For a second, he couldn't believe that the acne-covered woman in the picture was the same person in front of them now.

He handed the photo to his secretary and said, “Go and check if the photo was processed by PS.“

While the secretary was doing what Darren had ordered, Darren took the time to ask the woman some questions. “What are your thoughts on skincare?“

As if she had been expecting that question, the woman answered without missing a beat, “Skincare is the most important thing for a woman. When a woman goes out, she should make herself look as if she is just her child's sibling. Many people try to achieve that youthful-looking skin. I just hope that they will give my skincare products a chance.

Years ago, people thought that sticking thin slices of cucumber on the face was healthy for the skin. However, it was proven that cucumber could actually dry out the skin. People misunderstood and thought that cucumber could remove wrinkles,“ she told them. The woman continued to explain with gravitas, “I've studied many chemicals. Some of them are guaranteed to make people's skin feel smooth and moisturized by up to 80 percent or even 90 percent, in just a short period of time. However, those chemical ingredients are not the only things that can help achieve that radiant-looking skin. In fact, such ingredients usually damage the skin in the long run. Continued use would just worsen the skin's health.“

“So, what are those ingredients?“ one of the interviewers asked curiously.

“If you want to know, you have to hire me first,“ the woman answered with a playful wink.

“Okay then, one last question.“ To be honest, Darren was already satisfied. “How long have you been studying skincare?“

“Ever since I was a teenager,“ she answered with a bright grin.

Nodding, Darren replied, “That's great.“ Then, he told the other interviewers excitedly, “I want her hired without any probation immediately.“

She believed that the KING Group should consider a trend in which they would put some samples of their products in snack stores. This way, their skincare products would be seen by everyone. Mothers who came there to purchase snacks for their children and even the men who just went to the store to buy snacks for their girlfriends would be aware of their skincare products. They would have a strong sense of skincare.
