Xie Li: "Well, is there anything else you want to discuss with me?"

As the girl spoke, she looked over with clear, bright eyes, clearly understanding the meaning behind her actions.

Xie Li was actually quite familiar with this tactic. When Uncle Li wanted to plant sweet potatoes before, he also directly offered a check. Madam Shen must be eyeing the hair growth serum.

"Let me make this clear first, I don't take on apprentices, and it's difficult to mass-produce the hair growth serum." Moreover, she herself doesn't plan to refine it anymore.

Her hair quality wasn't bad to begin with; the reason she couldn't grow hair on Tiandu Mountain before was due to natural disasters and human-made calamities, and there was nothing she could do about it.

Living a good life in the city, my hair is already in great shape, so I don't need to make hair growth serum at all.

Madam Shen was not surprised that Xie Li had seen through her intentions. Seeing that Xie Li had spoken directly, she quickly expressed her own thoughts.

"Actually, it's like this: the Shen family owns a chemical company, and I want to create an independent cosmeceutical brand..."

Madam Shen is always decisive and efficient. After witnessing the miraculous effects of this hair growth serum, she sensed the huge business opportunity hidden within it.

But right now, this is just a simple plan. The most difficult thing is still the product itself.

Moreover, the Xie family already owns the Xie's Pharmaceutical Technology Group. Although its business scope does not yet include cosmeceuticals, what if the Xie family wants to do business in this area?

Madam Shen was very uncertain, but that didn't stop her from trying to befriend Xie Li.

Xie Li looked at the proposal handed to him by Madam Shen, his gaze slightly narrowed, "Only one percent of the desired effect is needed?"

Madam Shen cleared her throat. "It's like this. I know that this kind of alchemy skill is very difficult. It takes more than ten years of immersion to become a master. So I don't expect the effect to reach the level you gave me. I just need to achieve one percent of it."

"Besides, for ordinary people, if they persist for a week and see results, and can grow hair in a month, that's already more than enough."

Even so, it's enough to drive people crazy.

As for Xie Li's heaven-defying effect, it's obvious that it's impossible.

Therefore, Madam Shen was especially grateful for Xie Li's departure.

She touched her now long and thick hair, feeling incredibly fortunate that this silly girl, Chen Lian, was blessed with good fortune despite her foolishness.

Xie Li pondered for a moment, "If that's the case, mass production isn't out of the question."

She simply didn't want to refine hair growth serum anymore; the returns weren't particularly generous, so it wasn't worth it.

The rewards for merit points at the TCM base were indeed generous. She was shocked and fantasized about it for a moment, but then she decided against it.

What does she need so many merit points for? She can't use them all, and she can't exchange them for medicinal herbs to sell on the street.

Besides, her goal in coming to the city was always to study hard and get into a university in the capital...

However, Madam Shen's request was so low that she felt embarrassed, so she thought for a moment and said to Madam Shen, "Let me revise the prescription and then we'll see."

Madam Shen breathed a sigh of relief. Xie Li hadn't refused on the spot, which meant there was hope for the matter.

Jiang Qing had been hiding behind Xie Li with her head down. When her phone rang, she was like a frightened bird, grabbing Xie Li's hand.

Xie Li patted her gently to comfort her, then glanced at the caller ID. "Should I answer?"

Jiang Qing nodded slightly, and Xie Li then answered the phone.

"Jiang Qingyu, you bitch!" As soon as the call connected, a barrage of insults came from the other end. "How did you beg me yesterday? And now you dare to cause trouble?"

"Did you think that because you're pregnant with our Li family's child, I can't do anything to you...?"
