Fake Rich Daughter Is A Scientist From The Future

Chapter 118: Before the Product Launch

Zhao Feng actively wanted to strategize for his good brother’s relationship, but Si Huan only felt that his chattering next to his ear was too annoying.

“Alright, I won’t worry unnecessarily anymore lest you go saying that I’m more anxious than you.” In the end, Zhao Feng could only say helplessly, “Oh right, are you going to the Si Family’s anniversary banquet this week with Huo Tian?”

At such a grand banquet, the female companion brought by Si Huan, who was the head of the Si Family, clearly had another meaning. There was a high chance that the female companion would become Si Huan’s future wife. Huo Tian didn’t have any family background now. Zhao Feng was worried that she would be picked on by those old geezers from the Si Family.

Si Huan didn’t seem worried at all. “Uncle Ding had looked for someone to check on the auspicious dates. The day the banquet is held is an auspicious day. Our product launch will be held on that day.”

Zhao Feng was surprised. “Won’t that clash with the banquet then?”

Si Huan chuckled. “No, the banquet will be held at night. After Huo Tian and I hold a product launch, we would be able to make it in time for the banquet. It’s only right that she would appear at the banquet as my dance partner.”

Zhao Feng did not know if he should complain that Si Huan did not take the family banquet seriously, or if he should complain that Si Huan had taken such a big detour just so he could participate in the banquet with Huo Tian within reason.

In the end, he just gave Si Huan a thumbs up with a pained expression. “You’re amazing. Now, I believe that you can handle a girl like Huo Tian.”

Si Huan glanced at Zhao Feng and sighed softly, only revealing his distress in front of his friend whom he had grown up with. “There’s no choice. Auntie Ding and Uncle Ding are wary of me as if I’m a wolf. If Huo Tian were to say a few more words to me, their gazes would be like knives cutting into me.”

“So the Ding Family’s two elders had already seen through your rapacious designs…”

Zhao Feng laughed non-stop, sounding like a goose. He was clearly gloating.

Si Huan deeply regretted his impulsive confession of his troubles to Zhao Feng. At this moment, he had a strong urge to silence this idiot!

…

Huo Tian didn’t remember the date of the product launch at all. It was just that her mother had chased her into bed early last night, so she woke up early today.

Huo Tian entered the kitchen, stole a xiaolongbao, and stuffed it into her mouth. Only then did she slip into the courtyard. She wanted to take a walk for a while to wake up, but she realized that her uncle was engaged in feudal superstitions in the courtyard.

The figurine of Lord Guan[1], which was previously on the altar in the tailor shop, was respectfully invited by Ding Chen to a square table in the courtyard with fresh fruits laid out. An even greater exaggeration was that Ding Chen had actually lit up three thick and long sticks of incense and inserted them into the incense burner in front of Lord Guan.

Huo Tian was dumbfounded. However, that was not all. Her uncle even knelt piously in front of Lord Guan and bowed thrice. He closed his eyes and muttered something. Upon seeing this, Huo Tian’s head was filled with a series of question marks.

When Ding Chen finally stood up, Huo Tian carefully walked around the offering table and went up to Ding Chen’s side to ask, “Uncle, what are you doing?”

Ding Chen pulled Huo Tian back and brought her to Lord Guan. “It’s rare that you’re up early. Come and give the God of Fortune a few kowtows, asking him to bless us that our product launch will be successful. Please let our product be known throughout the world and that everyone in our company will strike it rich… What are you waiting for? Hurry up.”

Huo Tian followed Ding Chen’s force and knelt down in a daze. Fortunately, Ding Chen had placed a cushion on the ground. Otherwise, Huo Tian would not have knelt no matter what. She kowtowed stiffly to Guan Gong a few times and muttered in her heart, “I don’t know if you’re Lord Guan or the God of Fortune, but I hope you can bless my uncle’s dreams to come true. Otherwise, he’ll come and disturb me…”

Seeing that Huo Tian was doing quite well, Ding Chen felt satisfied. He pulled Huo Tian up and rubbed his hands excitedly and a little nervously. “I had found a fortune teller to check for an auspicious date and had offered incense to the God of Fortune every day during this period of time. Our product launch today will definitely go smoothly. As long as the few products we have become famous, we’ll just be waiting to earn big money!”

Huo Tian was stunned. “Product launch? Today?”

When Ding Chen saw Huo Tian’s face filled with question marks, he knew that her shortcoming of forgetting about dates had acted up again. He sighed helplessly and poked Huo Tian’s head. “You silly girl. If it wasn’t for the fact that your brain is still quite useful, you would have been kidnapped and sold off long ago.”

Huo Tian disagreed with this and was about to kick up a ruckus when Ding Rong came out with breakfast. She was the most authoritative in the family and made the uncle and niece both become quiet and obedient with just a glare.

After breakfast, Si Huan’s chauffeur came over and chauffeured the Ding Family and Bi Ying. Ding Chen was one of the bosses of the company. Huo Tian and Bi Ying were going to go on stage as product designers to explain the products. Ding Rong only needed to go in the capacity of a family member, being an audience and clapping for them.

The driver drove directly to a styling studio. A large group of people gathered around, some helping to choose clothes, some helping to do hairstyles. The few of them were like mindless dolls that were under the control of the stylists.

Huo Tian was in a daze the entire time. By the time she managed to escape from the stylists’ demonic claws, her appearance had changed completely.
