Hua Ansu, "Do you really like small animals?"

Her earrings were shaped like kittens, and her nail art was also animal-themed.

Jiang Ziqi nodded, "I like them, I've raised a lot of them."

She glanced at A-Gu, who had only been drinking water and hadn't said a word, and asked, "You guys like it too, right?"

She still remembered the little white monkey and was planning when Hua Ansu would take her to see it.

Hua Ansu nodded, "Yes."

They occasionally talked about flowers and plants, something they both found interesting.

However, Hua Ansu was clearly superior; she had many beautiful flowers and plants that Jiang Ziqi had never seen before.

Hua Ansu said he wanted to give her a few pots, and Jiang Ziqi agreed with a smile.

"Yes, there was a conflict with the Mercenary Alliance."

This brings up the rumors again. The name Hua Ansu is so famous that it has even reached the academy, and she has heard quite a bit about it.

By the way, Jiang Ziqi is still studying; she is a student at Star Academy.

Jiang Ziqi had heard some things about Ye Xiujie of the Lengye Mercenary Group, and even though she knew that Hua Ansu had won, she couldn't help but remind him, "You have to be careful, Ye Xiujie is not a simple person."

Hua Ansu raised an eyebrow. "You know him?"

Jiang Ziqi shook her head, "I've heard some rumors about him at the academy."

In the college...

Hua Ansu focused on the key point: "Are you a student at Star Academy?"

"Yes, from the Forging Academy."

forging?

Hua Ansu sensed it and thought, "This girl is probably more like a martial arts major, right?"

However, she wasn't one to delve too deeply into things. "It's great, college life is quite interesting."

She graduated from college at the age of thirty and still misses those days.

School is a place you hate while you're there; you wish you could grow wings and fly away. But once you leave, the memories are warm and comforting—it's a youth you can never return to.

Jiang Ziqi smiled, a hint of coldness in her smile, "It is quite interesting."

"And you?" she asked in return.

Jiang Ziqi felt that it was really inappropriate for Hua Ansu to be out of school at such an age.

The reason I'm certain she didn't study is because there's someone like Hua Ansu at Star Academy, and she couldn't possibly be unaware of that.

Hua Ansu said, "I am illiterate."

Jiang Ziqi chuckled. If someone like Hua Ansu is illiterate, then everyone else is completely illiterate.

She handed over a document at the opportune moment, saying, "This is the contract I drafted, Ansu, please take a look."

“In addition to the right to purchase half of the grain for Qingqinglou and its restaurants, I also plan to discuss another business deal with you.”

Hua Ansu read the contract very quickly, absorbing the information in her brain with a single glance. She had already finished reading it while Jiang Ziqi was speaking.

"What kind of business?"

Jiang Ziqi said, "I would like to invite you to open a forging factory with me."

Forging workshop?

Hua Ansu raised an eyebrow. "Why me?"

She reminded her, "There are quite a few talented people in your college in this field."

She is a blacksmith, something Jiang Ziqi probably doesn't know. So her choice is strange. A merchant wouldn't do something that is detrimental to herself.

Jiang Ziqi shook her head. "They can't do that."

Hua Ansu awaits her next words.

"What I want to forge is a weapon of a quality that ordinary people can use."

"An ordinary person? Are you sure?"

Jiang Ziqi nodded, her eyes filled with determination. "I'm very sure."

Hua Ansu hadn't expected that a young girl would bring this up.

As is well known, ordinary people cannot use weapons of a certain rank because they are not capable individuals and cannot resonate with the weapons.

They have always been able to use metal weapons refined from ores.
