Chapter 96: It's an IQ Tax at First Glance (Second Update)

"Wangshu Tears? What is this? Hey, why are you still protecting your food?" As soon as Lu Yikang stretched out his hand, he was hit back by Zhao Wenjing.

"Be careful, it's more than 20,000 yuan." Zhao Wenjing rolled her eyes at Lu Yikang.

Lu Yikang was shocked, pointing at the small glass bottle and saying in disbelief: "What kind of thing costs more than 20,000 yuan? Made of gold? Gold is not that expensive!"

"What the hell is this?"

"Skin care essence." Zhao Wenjing responded to Lu Yikang and took out the glass bottle from the wooden box.

"Skin care essence? Twenty thousand for a bottle? That's crazy." When Lu Yikang heard this, it was even harder to understand.

"You don't understand." Zhao Wenjing sneered at her husband's reaction, "It is said that the selling price is 18,888, but now you can't buy it outside for 20,000."

"I underestimated Wang Xueyan before. I didn't expect that she could get the Wangshu Tears that so many people can't buy." Zhao Wenjing looked in the mirror with great interest.

Wang Xueyan is the mother of Zhang Xuyang she just mentioned, and the boss lady of Lida.

After saying that, Zhao Wenjing, who had finished removing her makeup, carefully unscrewed the bottle cap. There is a one-time design between the bottle cap and the bottle body, and it will make a snapping sound when twisting it. Only after the glass connection between the bottle cap and the bottle body is broken can the bottle cap be truly unscrewed.

Zhao Wenjing took out the dropper, carefully put a drop on her ring finger, and began to apply it carefully around the corners of her eyes.

"It's sold for 18,000, but it's still not available for 20,000? You women are really good." Lu Yikang said, "You really don't take the money we men earn for granted. Why can this thing be sold for 20,000? It's just an IQ tax."

"What do you know?" Zhao Wenjing sneered, "This has been the hottest topic in the entire Haixi Madam circle in recent days."

"It's a limited edition product. Even Huang Lianhai's wife can't buy it now."

As she spoke, Zhao Wenjing squeezed out another drop and applied it on the other side's eye area and nasolabial folds.

Huang Lianhai is the teacher of Haixi County. The things that even his wife can't buy are really rare.

"Is it true?" Lu Yikang was skeptical. "Is this the thing? It's more expensive than the injection you guys got?"

Zhao Wenjing seemed to have taken a long time to make up her mind before squeezing out another drop. She glanced at her husband and said, "You don't understand. This is to improve the skin condition comprehensively. Didn't you stare at Wang Xueyan several times today? Didn't you notice that her skin has improved?"

Lu Yikang seemed indignant but was actually secretly shocked: "You are such a person... When did I stare at her several times? Don't spit blood at me."

This woman is really good at being a detective. I just took a few glances and discovered everything.

However, even though Wang Xueyan is in her early forties, she has achieved great success and still has charm.

Zhao Wenjing sneered twice: "It's useless to stare at her. That woman is very snobbish. It is said that Zhang, who is behind Lida's back, has kept several gigolos outside. She doesn't even look down on a scumbag like you."

"You're crazy. I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I'm going to take a shower first." Lu Yikang waved his hand with disdain, took off his clothes and put them in the laundry basket, closed the shower door, and started to take a shower.

When he came out of the shower, he saw Zhao Wenjing still sitting in front of the makeup mirror.

"Jiayan should be back tomorrow, right? She went to visit the school this time, and we have to make plans when she comes back." Lu Yikang asked his wife about their daughter's situation while putting on his shorts.

Zhao Wenjing stared at the makeup mirror and said, "I will go to the airport to pick up my daughter tomorrow morning. By the way, I will limit the number of license plates tomorrow. Give me your car and you can take a taxi to school tomorrow."

Lu Yikang sighed: "In fact, if you ask me, it's better to stay in China. Jiajia's grades won't be a problem for her to stay in school. Being a university teacher is not bad."

Zhao Wenjing shook her head and said, "Lu Yikang, why are you here again? What future does Jiajia have if she doesn't study abroad for a master's degree? Is it so easy to get into Columbia University? Do you want Jiajia to be like you, and be a poor ninth-class person for the rest of her life?"

"I have already contacted Jiajia. She has just returned from studying in Miami and has directly applied for the Securities and Exchange Commission. With her experience studying abroad at Columbia University, she will be promoted to director after one year in the company."

Lu Yikang said angrily: "What's wrong with you, old idiot? Isn't our family's wealth earned by me teaching one class at a time? Okay, okay. Anyway, you are always right. You are a financial elite, okay?"

"However, I have to remind you that Jia Jia has always been in poor health. Although she has been fine for so many years, you can't take it lightly."

"Hey? Old Lu, take a look, have the wrinkles around my eyes become lighter?" Zhao Wenjing looked in the mirror and her voice suddenly became louder. Lu Yikang looked carefully and said, "I don't see any changes."

At 9:30 the next day, Zhao Wenjing drove Lu Yikang's Camry to Haixi International Airport.

"Jia Jia, Mom is here!" As soon as Lu Jiayan came out of the baggage claim carousel, he saw his mother waving at the railing in the waiting hall.

"Mom!" Lu Jiayan's face still had no expression, but the joy in his eyes could not be concealed at all.

"Let mom see if you've lost weight?" Zhao Wenjing took Lu Jiayan's hand and looked him up and down.

Lu Jiayan shook his head: "In Los Angeles, people eat hamburgers and coke every day, or spicy tacos. It's impossible to lose weight."

Zhao Wenjing felt distressed: "Those are all junk food, how can you eat them every day? Didn't mom send you several restaurants?"

Lu Jiayan thought to himself, I must be sick to spend 100 yuan on every meal. Wouldn't it be nice if you saved some of the money you gave me for my meals and gave it to the novel author as a reward? (I'm not asking for a reward, no! The author wants to have face! Of course, if there is a reward, the face can be abandoned.)
"How is it this time? In the end it's New York, right? In my opinion, just choose Columbia University. After we come back, we have to start preparing. Don't listen to your dad. Studying for a master's degree in China is also good. Which actuarial school in China can compare with Columbia University?" Zhao Wenjing nagging.

Lu Jiayan rolled his eyes in his heart, but knowing that Columbia University was his mother's dream school, he could only change the subject: "Hey, Mom, you look a lot younger, did you get the injection?"

Zhao Wenjing was immediately touched on the spot. After all, she is my daughter, and she is different from her father, who is an old-fashioned person.

"Really? Really? I think so too. Let me tell you, this essence is simply amazing. I used it once last night and once this morning, and the effect is very good. I estimate that if I use it for a few more days, my skin will be back to the way it was ten years ago. No, it can be back to fifteen years ago."

Zhao Wenjing looked radiant and decided to take her daughter to get her hair done in the afternoon, so that she could adjust to the jet lag at the same time.

As they talked, they walked towards the parking lot. Lu Jiayan struggled to lift the luggage and put it in the trunk of the Camry, then sat in the passenger seat.

"Professor Sterling from Columbia University, we had dinner together last time I came to Haixi. I will send him an email in a few days and put your resume in it to see if he can write a recommendation letter for you."

"By the way, did you bring him the Haixi specialties I asked you to bring him? Don't think that the Mai people are aloof, they will also fall for this."

Zhao Wenjing was educating her daughter while driving out of the airport parking lot.

Lu Jiayan was overwhelmed by what she heard, and hurriedly changed the subject: "By the way, Mom, you just said that you only used one bottle of essence? What brand is it? Buy me one too."

Zhao Wenjing's face was almost blooming with laughter: "Nowadays, most people don't know about this thing. Only a small number of wives in Haixi know about it. It costs more than 20,000 yuan a bottle. It was given to your father by the parents of his students. You can't buy it."

"I didn't quite believe it at first, but you see, I really used it once last night and once this morning. Look at my crow's feet and nasolabial folds. Aren't they lighter? Especially the wrinkles and fine lines here are gone, right?"

Lu Jiayan took a closer look and found that it was true.

Although my mother has also been getting injections in the past two years, I don’t know if it’s because of the injection technique of the person giving the injection or Zhao Wenjing’s physical condition, the hyaluronic acid injections have no effect at all, and I did spend a lot of money.

But looking at it now, I don’t think she is ten years younger, but she definitely looks three or four years younger.

The reason why Lu Jiayan is particularly afraid of getting wrinkles is because his mother became ugly after getting wrinkles.

Zhao Wenjing was originally quite pretty, but for some reason, after she developed wrinkles in her forties, her face became increasingly harsh.

Lu Jiayan is particularly afraid that he will become like this when he gets old.

After hearing what his mother said, Lu Jiayan actually became interested.

"Mom, you haven't told me what this essence is called yet."

Zhao Wenjing pursed her lips and smiled, which was quite similar to the style of a few years ago: "It's called Wangshu Tears. The production is too low, and too few people can buy it now."

"Wangshu Tears?" Lu Jiayan was startled. "Why does it sound so familiar?"
