When Sheng Qian returned home, Zhou Ran ran out after her, his eyes filled with excited smiles. "Sheng Qian, we're going to be rich!"

"Hmm?" Sheng Qian asked with a puzzled look, "How many did you sell today?"

"We sold sixteen bottles, but there's even better news," Zhou Ran pulled Sheng Qian aside, "A small company has approached us for a collaboration! Sheng Qian, don't you think this is a great opportunity?"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Qian couldn't help but look at Zhou Ran, "You agreed?"

"This kind of thing still needs your approval, boss. How could I dare to agree so easily? I just talked to them and they promised us generous bonuses. Sheng Qian, that company is now expanding overseas. If our products can go global, that's a huge opportunity to make money!" Zhou Ran became more and more excited as he spoke.

Sheng Qian frowned as she listened. "I haven't thought about cooperating with anyone. In the future, we can develop our own business and don't need to rely on others. With our current scale, joining those established skincare companies would only lead to our own destruction."

“How could it be self-destruction? We’re going to participate anyway, and they’ve promised to give us a formal position. I’ve also looked into the size of their company, and I’m sure that working for a company like that will allow me to rise through the ranks!” It’s much better than figuring things out on their own.

Zhou Ran pays special attention to development outside of China; this is what it truly means to do one's best!

However, Zhou Ran couldn't understand Sheng Qian's attitude.

"Those empty words are just nice to say. Once our stuff goes in, it becomes theirs. And the so-called positions are just a couple of unnecessary, idle jobs." After saying that, Sheng Qian went to find Sheng Ting.

"Sheng Qian, are we really not going to consider it?" Zhou Ran chased after her. "How do you know it won't offer us any real benefits if you haven't even gone to see it?"

"What they need is our beauty secrets, not us. What position do they hold in their company that's contacting you?"

"It seems to be some kind of supervisor..."

“A supervisor’s words are null and void at any time. No matter how much benefit the other party offers, I will not agree, so you don’t need to say anything more.” Sheng Qian knew that she was eager for quick success and had suddenly heard many temptations, so she was only thinking about getting real benefits as soon as possible, and therefore did not think in any other direction.

Zhou Ran, whose eyes had been shining just moments before, suddenly dimmed. "I understand."

"You'll understand why I didn't agree later," there's no point in saying anything more now.

but.

Since someone has come looking for the secret formula, it means that the skincare product has attracted public attention, so it's even more important not to give it to others.

Zhou Ran said, "I'm just worried about missing a good opportunity."

“As long as the product is good, there will always be opportunities. Others are coming to us, which means they also value our product. It’s just that it’s impossible to replicate, so they’re trying to take it from us,” Sheng Qian didn’t want to speculate about others, but the other party’s purpose was very clear, which made her think more about it.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ran realized something, "They probably wouldn't dare to do that."

Although Zhou Ran had met many bad people, he still didn't want to think too badly of anyone at first.

"Who can guarantee anything about human nature?"

Sheng Qian narrowed her dark eyes slightly, her expression deep and mysterious.

I wonder what he's thinking about.

Zhou Ran couldn't help but glance at Sheng Qian.

It's somewhat contradictory that Sheng Qian is hesitant to trust others, yet she quickly used her and even dared to give her the secret formula.

Following the address, Long Xingzhou arrived at Muqing Clothing Store and couldn't help but look around.

I discovered that the clothing store was quite large.

The shop next door was still under renovation, and Long Xingzhou didn't expect it to belong to Sheng Qian either, so he went straight into the clothing store.

Upon seeing such a handsome man enter, Sheng Ting swallowed back the words she was about to say.

"Is Sheng Qian here?" Long Xingzhou nodded slightly to Sheng Ting and asked.

"Who are you?" Sheng Ting snapped back to reality and asked seriously.

Perhaps because she had seen how handsome Long Yunting was, Sheng Ting didn't swoon when she saw Long Xingzhou.

Upon hearing that the other party was inquiring about Sheng Qian, the first thing that came to mind was to be on guard.

Long Xingzhou also noticed Sheng Ting's wariness, so he said, "She ordered goods from me, and I delivered them. You can ask her and you'll know."

"Wait a minute..." Sheng Ting turned around and went inside, calling out Sheng Qian, who was making a beauty cream with Zhou Ran.

Upon hearing that someone had delivered the goods, Sheng Qian assumed it was Xu Ming sending someone to deliver parts.

When they came out, they saw Long Xingzhou standing inside the store, looking them over.

Sheng Qian was only stunned for a moment before stepping forward: "Boss Long, why did you come here in person?"

“I was just passing by and thought I’d come along for a look. I hope you don’t mind,” Long Xingzhou said with a faint smile.

“Of course I don’t mind,” Sheng Qian waved for him to sit down, and then poured him a cup of warm tea.

"The two computers have been delivered. Should we bring them in or put them somewhere else?" Long Xingzhou pointed outside after taking a sip of tea.

The two people standing outside were waiting for Long Xingzhou's orders to move the computers.

Sheng Qian said, "I'll have to trouble you to help me carry it upstairs."

Sheng Qian wanted to put it in the living room and then send one back to town after a while.

Long Xingzhou had two computers moved upstairs.

Sheng Qian then went back to get the money for Long Xingzhou.

Of the money she earned here, after deducting the wages to be settled later, she gave 20,000 yuan to Long Xingzhou.

Long Xingzhou took the two large stacks of money, which were wrapped tightly, without even counting them.

Sheng Qian still made him count it clearly in person.

Even with the closest people, it's hard to say whether there's one more or one less.
