Chapter 85 Want to cooperate? Call me "Grandma" first.

Lin Cheng held up his phone, keeping everyone in suspense: "Hehehe, guess."

Murong Ting: "...I don't know what secret it is, but I do know that you really want to be fired."

"Uh...no, no," Lin Cheng touched the tip of his nose. "Oh my, Young Master Ting, I'm so surprised. Let me tell you who the developer is. The developer of this anti-aging cream is very likely Chan Yi."

Upon hearing the name, Murong Ting's pupils suddenly contracted.

He closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again: "Are you sure?"

Lin Cheng knew he wouldn't believe him, so he simply opened his phone and pushed it in front of him: "If you don't believe me, look at the posts and chat history yourself. This is irrefutable evidence!"

Murong Ting browsed the pages on his phone, his expression becoming increasingly unnatural.

Lin Cheng was very satisfied with him.

Surprised? Shocked? He was completely stunned when he saw it.

Who would have thought that after going around in circles for so long, they would end up back searching for Chanyi again.

Moreover, this time, compared to before, it's fortunate that the usually low-key young mistress actually knows Chanyi.

"Young Master Ting, what do you think? After reading this, don't you also think that this anti-aging cream must have been developed by Chanyi? I've inquired, and currently only the young mistress's clinic can buy this anti-aging cream. She and Chanyi must have a very close relationship."

"Should we contact the young mistress now to ask about the situation?" Lin Cheng rubbed his hands excitedly.

Murong Ting remained silent for a long time, his face grim.

Lin Cheng belatedly realized something was wrong: "Young Master Ting, really? You can't possibly be too proud to admit it?"

Murong Ting glanced at him, took a deep breath, and said, "You go out first, I'll contact Kong Wange."

Lin Cheng, being very sensible, turned and walked out of the office.

Just before closing the door, he added anxiously, "Young Master Ting, um, remember to be gentle, okay?"

After saying that, without waiting for Murong Ting's reaction, he immediately closed the door and slipped away.

Murong Ting held his phone, remaining motionless for a while.

After a while, he mustered up his courage, got up, and dialed the number.

It rang twice before the other end answered, the voice sounding slightly puzzled: "Murong Ting?"

"Hmm, where are you?"

"The clinic," Murong Ting already knew that the Kong Family Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic was now hers, so she didn't hide it: "What, do you need me for something?"

Murong Ting pursed his lips and cut to the chase: "Do you know Chanyi? Was she the one who developed the herbal anti-aging cream?"

Upon hearing this, Kong Wange fell silent instantly.

At this moment, silence is the best answer.

So even when she realized what was happening, she immediately joked, "I've only ever heard cicadas chirp, I don't know anything about cicada shells."

Murong Ting had also made up his mind.

"Kong Wange, I'll send you a picture."

Inside the clinic, Kong Wange's phone rang.

She clicked on it and immediately saw a screenshot of her conversation with the "cotton candy-flavored fairy".

Kong Wange: "..."

After a long pause, she said incredulously, "No way, Murong Ting, you're the cotton candy-flavored fairy? A grown man giving me such a name to fool me? What kind of special hobby is this?"

Murong Ting: "...It wasn't me, it was Lin Cheng."

What a terrible name Lin Cheng came up with!

He shifted the blame, then added, "Lin Cheng asked you if the Youth-Preserving Cream was developed by Chanyi, and you didn't deny it."

Across from her, Kong Wange forcefully defended herself, saying, "But I didn't say that."

"Alright, then tell me who developed this anti-aging cream."

"Can't you read? I already told Lin Cheng that at the request of the researchers, we cannot reveal her name."

After saying that, Kong Wange took the initiative and forcefully changed the subject, saying, "Why are you asking so many questions? Are you from the Drug Administration? Do you have to interfere with me selling a medicated ointment?"

Murong Ting's hand holding the phone suddenly tightened.

He knew that dwelling on this point was pointless; the woman wouldn't admit it.

So he got straight to the point and said, "Okay, I don't care who developed this anti-aging cream. I'll just talk to you. Help me find out how much it costs to have an exclusive collaboration on the formula for this anti-aging cream. Name your price, and I'll buy it."

Kong Wange: "What?"

Murong Ting walked to the window, looked at the towering buildings around him, and slowly said, "You know Yun Ting's financial resources. As long as it's within a reasonable range, I can accept any price, no matter how high."

Kong Wange was almost laughing in anger: "Murong Ting, who do you think you are? Just because you're rich doesn't mean you can do anything. I'm not going to ask for you, so what?"

Murong Ting frowned, and said forcefully, "Kong Wange, whether you help me or not, I am determined to get this anti-aging cream."

Kong Wange was silent for a moment, then laughed: "So determined. Well... promise me one thing, and I'll ask for you."

A strange sense of foreboding welled up in Murong Ting's heart: "What are the conditions?"

"Call me 'Grandma' and I'll hear it." This arrogant man was so cocky back then, she's going to make him bow down in front of her!

Murong Ting: "?"

Taking a deep breath, he gritted his teeth and said, "Kong Wange, you wish!"

"Tsk, you can't even let go of this little bit of pride. I don't think you really want the formula. Hang up, that's it, bye."

"etc!"

After all, this was a hard-won opportunity, and Murong Ting still didn't want to give it up. Sensing that the woman on the other end was really about to hang up, he clenched his fists. Although he was furious, he could only admit defeat and mumbled in a low voice, "Auntie."

He deliberately pronounced "grandma" in three tones.

"You just got weaned? Stop acting cute. Pronounce it properly. I didn't hear you. Say it again." Kong Wange said leisurely from the other end.

Murong Ting: "...Kong Wange, don't go too far!"

Kong Wange snorted: "Murong Ting, let me tell you, this is what they call the wheel of fortune turning!"

Murong Ting's head was buzzing. This woman, you can never underestimate how wicked she is!

"Kong Wange, I didn't want to take this step, but since you've forced me like this, don't blame me."

Kong Wange scoffed, "What, are you trying to send someone to force me to ask for you?"

Murong Ting curled his lips: "I won't do that, but if we're not mistaken, one of the main ingredients in the anti-aging cream you're selling is Xing Tianjiao, right?"

Kong Wange paused slightly, alarm bells ringing in her mind: "Murong Ting, what right do you have to dismantle someone else's formula without permission?"

Murong Ting snorted: "I admit, this formula is quite peculiar, and we can't fully decipher it, but knowing just this one part is enough."

Kong Wange frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Xingtianjiao is a rare medicinal herb that has been monopolized by my Yunting Group. Didn't you know that? Even if you don't help me communicate, as long as Yunting strictly controls the sales of Xingtianjiao, the people who developed it will have to cooperate with me if they still want to make money from the anti-aging cream."

Kong Wange was stunned. Xing Tianjiao was monopolized by Murong Ting's company?

How come she didn't know about this?

Is this scoundrel trying to trick her again?

She thought for a moment, said "Wait a minute," covered the phone, and turned to call Uncle Zhang.

"Uncle Zhang, where did we get this medicinal herb, Xing Tianjiao, from?"
