Yang PeiMin graduated.
She turned down the opportunity at a state-funded research institution.
Instead, she continued to grow her own cosmetics company in T City.
In just over a year since its inception, the brand had gained some notoriety. When people talked about buying face cream, her Taotao brand could now be compared to other well-known brands like Friendly.
Tang Zhao and Li Yue had also stayed. Now they were part of the same team and felt a sense of superiority and accomplishment when the products they researched together were welcomed by a wide consumer base.
However, Yang PeiMin felt it was still not enough. The raw materials and efficacy could be better. They were preparing to train the team to head to Europe for more targeted raw materials—Yang PeiMin knew of a few that could only grow in that environment.
There was much more to research and improve; she knew there was still a lot to be done.
