Their concerns were not without merit; only Qin Meng's thoughts remained unspoken.
Jiang Wanqing looked at her: "And you? What are your thoughts?"
"I……"
Compared to Yue Shuzhen, Qin Meng had no confidence at all. She looked at everyone, opened her mouth and then closed it again, finally only saying one sentence.
"I didn't do much, I just joined in and had a taste of the benefits. You can decide how to proceed."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head, and Yue Shuzhen nudged her.
"What do you mean you didn't put in any effort! You worked so hard, isn't that putting in effort? If you sell the patent, you'll just continue to suffer. Right now, you can sell moisturizing cream, at least you have a stable income. I see you still have some spare money to send home, but that might not be the case in the future!"
Yue Shuzhen was vehemently opposed to selling the patent. Jiang Wanqing was about to speak when Molly spoke first.
"How can you talk like that! If it weren't for Wanqing, you wouldn't have earned a single penny. How can you be so ungrateful? You want to make money, but she has her own difficulties. Do you even know that she owes nine thousand..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Wanqing quickly pulled her back and shook her head at her.
This caused the others to only hear the words "nine thousand," and they looked at each other in confusion.
Shen Huan, being rather dim-witted, asked curiously, "Who does Wanqing owe nine thousand?"
"How come you owe so much? Did you get scammed?" Qin Meng asked worriedly.
Yue Shuzhen's eyes flickered, a trace of guilt flashing across them. She fidgeted with her fingers, said nothing, and stomped her foot angrily as she left.
"Anyway, I don't agree to sell the patent. If you really want to sell it, you don't need to discuss it with us anymore, it's useless anyway."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left, truly carefree and uninhibited. Molly was so angry that her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"How could this person be like this... She's so heartless..."
"Alright, that's enough. I'll think about this some more."
Jiang Wanqing stopped her from continuing and patted her on the back.
"They meant no harm, but selling patents should indeed be done with caution."
"I'm so angry! I can't swallow this, I'm going back now."
She was very angry, feeling that Jiang Wanqing was too easy to talk to and was being bullied, and she couldn't get a word in edgewise, so she had to catch her breath first.
After Yue Shuzhen left, she went downstairs. Just as she reached the bottom of the floor, a person suddenly darted out from around the corner.
Chen Zhong blocked her way, smiling in a seemingly friendly manner.
"Yue, let's chat."
"Who are you? Do I know you? Get out of here! You filthy thing!"
Yue Shuzhen rolled her eyes, looking down on him completely. What kind of good person could someone who plagiarized, cheated, and used all sorts of underhanded tricks be?
"Hey, I have a deal I'd like to do with you. It'll be a lot of money if it goes well. Are you sure you don't want to consider it?"
He curled his lips into a sinister smile. Seeing Yue Shuzhen hesitate, he assumed she had taken the bait and pressed his advantage.
"I know you don't really enjoy being with Jiang Wanqing; you're only after the money. If that's the case, why not cooperate with me? I can give you more, and you won't have to share with others. Isn't that better?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Shuzhen raised an eyebrow, her eyes flashing slightly as she looked Chen Zhong up and down.
"You? You're a penniless wretch. Where did you get the money?"
Insulted by a woman once again, Chen Zhong's face fell. He was about to retort, but remembering his true purpose, he could only swallow his anger for now.
"I may not have money, but someone will give you money. Don't worry, you'll get your share."
"Oh, so you mean you're not the only one who wants to deal with Jiang Wanqing, and that the other party has money, right?"
Something about what she said seemed off. Was she trying to get information out of him? That shouldn't be the case; she didn't like Jiang Wanqing…
To be on the safe side, he remained silent and pressed directly, "Do you want to cooperate?"
Yue Shuzhen tapped her chin lightly with her index finger, as if she was thinking about something. After about a minute, she snapped her fingers and jumped down two steps from the stairs.
"Sure, let's cooperate then. As long as you can give me money, I love money more than anything else!"
"Great! That's straightforward!" Chen Zhong laughed and beckoned to her, "Come here, I'll tell you what to do."
Yue Shuzhen leaned her head closer.
"I need you to give me the formula for the moisturizing cream..."
...
They had just finished talking when Molly came downstairs, and the two quickly separated.
"You're out too?" Yue Shuzhen greeted her without any hesitation.
"What are you two doing!"
Seeing Chen Zhong's face made Molly angry, and she didn't give him a pleasant look at all. This made her even more annoyed with Yue Shuzhen.
"Are you planning something mischievous again?!"
Chen Zhong didn't want to get into a conflict with her and ruin his plans, so he quickly left, leaving Yue Shuzhen to face the situation alone.
"Say something! Are you mute?" Molly took a few steps down, getting closer to Yue Shuzhen.
"You think I'll just tell you to talk? What can you do to me if I don't? You're interfering with what classmates are doing when they're just chatting? How dare you?"
Yue Shuzhen has always been known for her harsh words, but even Molly couldn't calm down in this situation. Her anger escalated, and the two of them started fighting.
Chen Zhong, who hadn't gone far, looked back at them and left with satisfaction.
Go ahead and fight, the harder the better, I'm just afraid they're too close to be anything but each other.
Watching him walk away, Yue Shuzhen pushed Molly away without hesitation and patted the wrinkles in her clothes on her arm.
"Stop hitting me, you'll understand later."
"What do you know? Explain yourself! Yue Shuzhen, you bastard! You're so ungrateful..."
She ignored her completely; Molly yelled several times but Yue Shuzhen didn't turn around.
