  Hardy picked up a bottle of moisturizer and asked, "Did you say these were developed by you?"

  Mrs. Lauder nodded, then shook her head, "Not entirely. Initially, it was researched by my uncle. My uncle is a dermatologist, and he noticed that so patients skin was particularly prone to dehydration and cracking, losing its luster, so he developed a skincare cream."

  "I also have dry skin. My uncle used it on and it worked very well. That inspired to make moisturizing creams. When I went to college, I chose to study chemistry and dermatology."

  "Around 1930, I started to make skin cream full ti. At first, I sold it to friends around or took it to salon parties. My friends all thought the results were good. Later, we made so profits and invested in new research, leading to several other products."

  "Last year, I founded my own costics company and nad it 'Estee Lauder' after myself. Before Christmas this year, we set up a counter in the Fifth Avenue Mall. My ideal is to make the na Estee Lauder a well known brand in the costics industry."

  When Mrs. Lauder introduced the situation of her company, she was a little proud, because all of this was created by her.

  In this male dominated society, it is very difficult for a woman to succeed in business.

  "You have persisted for more than ten years for your dream. I admire your persistence and hard work." Hardy complinted.

  "Let introduce myself. My na is Jon Hardy."

  As he spoke, he took out a business card and handed it to her.

  Mrs. Lauder looked at the card and was surprised.

  Chairman of HD Security, Chairman of HD Films, Director of 'N.Y.T' Television, Owner of Playboy Magazine, Chairman of HD Toys.

  A string of titles left Mrs. Lauder a bit stunned.

  Recently, HD Security has gained a lot of attention. First, it was in the newspapers and news reports, and finally, they released a docuntary, "The Great Los Angeles Bank Heist." Now, HD Security is known across the United States.

  After seeing them, she only had one thought: exquisite, extrely exquisite.

  Even though she was in her thirties, she was tempted to buy a set, of course, as a gift for her daughter.

  Because of Barbie, Mrs. Lauder even considered whether to package her costics as luxury items and take the high end route.

  Lastly, there was Playboy Magazine. Coincidentally, Mrs. Lauder had read it. Recently, newspapers were abuzz with debates between conservatives and the magazine, attracting a lot of attention.

  The editor in chief's article on won's liberation particularly resonated with Mrs. Lauder, prompting her to have her husband buy a copy.

  She had to admit, the photos of the beautiful won in the magazine were captivating even to her. She admired the articles, realizing the magazine, as the editor in chief claid, contained no vulgar content but rather insightful articles.

  She read the introduction to Hedy Lamarr and admired her greatly, considering her a representative of modern won with her independent pursuit of her ideals and significant achievents in scientific research. Hedy Lamarr had beco Mrs. Lauder's idol.

  Thinking of this, Mrs. Lauder looked up at Hardy. The young, handso man exuded strong confidence, but Mrs. Lauder still felt he was too young. She doubted if Hardy was really the owner of these companies.

  Hardy noticed the doubt in Mrs. Lauder's eyes and pointed to Taylor, "I don't know if Mrs. Lauder has seen 'National Velvet' or 'Lassie Co Ho,' but she is the leading actress in both movies, Elizabeth Taylor."

  Mrs. Lauder looked at Taylor and said in surprise, "I just felt that this lady looked familiar. I seed to have seen her sowhere. Now that you ntioned it, I finally saw that it was Miss Elizabeth Taylor."

  Taylor was also a well known Hollywood star. Being able to do makeup for a Hollywood star made Mrs. Lauder feel honored.

  She even thought of telling future clients that a Hollywood star had used her products.

  "Mrs. Lauder, have you ever thought about accelerating the developnt of 'Estée Lauder'? Do you need an investor?" Hardy asked.

  "Oh~~!"

  Mrs. Lauder didn't know how to answer for a mont, as this question concerned the future of her business.

  Hardy smiled and waved his hand, "No rush to answer. I'm staying at the St. Regis Hotel for the next few days. If you're interested in cooperating, you can co to the hotel to find ."

  With that, Hardy took Taylor's hand and left.

  Suddenly holding Hardy's hand, Taylor's heart trembled, and her face turned slightly red.

  The feeling of being held by Mr. Hardy was wonderful.

  Mrs. Lauder watched Hardy's departing figure, feeling a bit dazed. At this mont, she felt a mix of apprehension and excitent.

  She had always longed for her business to grow, which was her dream.

  Suddenly, such a great opportunity appeared before her, making her excited, but she wasn't sure if Hardy was genuine. What if he was a fraud?

  Clutching the business card, she instructed the clerk to watch the counter while she quickly returned to the office.

  Mrs. Lauder's husband was responsible for internal company affairs, such as accounting and production, while she handled promotion and new product developnt. The couple complented each other well.

  "Joseph, I just t soone at the mall who claid to be the owner of HD Security and expressed interest in investing in our company."

  Mrs. Lauder detailed the entire encounter to her husband and handed him the business card, "Joseph, do you think that young man could be a fraud?"
