She compared the information provided one by one, and her heart sank.
These people have a very different background from Lu Yunzhou. Although these men are rich, they don't give money away casually. Some of them only give a few hundred thousand a month, and the most generous ones only give a few hundred. Not to mention gifts, they only give gifts on birthdays or holidays.
They would never send things to Lu Yunzhou every few days.
Moreover, most of these men have girlfriends or fiancées, so she has no intention of becoming someone's mistress.
After this screening process, not a single candidate was qualified.
I've wasted half an hour.
Although Chu Juan was sitting to the side, he was watching her the whole time. He saw her being cynical one moment, then pouting sourly the next, and occasionally glancing at the men around her, shaking her head or swaying her body, looking like she had a bitter and resentful look. In the end, she seemed to have completely given up and her mental state collapsed.
It's quite novel to see these vivid expressions changing simultaneously on one person's face.
"What's wrong?" he couldn't help but ask.
Su Yuxi smiled, knowing she wouldn't easily share her little thoughts with others. She could only sincerely sigh, "It's nothing, I just feel that making money is really hard."
Earning money from men is harder.
Chu Juan recalled her obsession with money. The information showed that she hadn't made any investments, so how could she say that making money was difficult?
Su Yuxi picked up the wine on the table. Wine is a wonderful thing; it can make you forget your troubles. She originally wanted to drink it all in one gulp, but when she remembered the blackout incident a few days ago, her eyes couldn't help but fall on the imposing man. Instead, she took a small sip instead.
Suddenly, she remembered what Chu Juan had said about needing to find some medicine. Wasn't this also a way to make money off men?
Sure enough, things will straighten out when you reach the bridge.
She put down her wine glass, blinked her big eyes, and nudged the man next to her with her elbow, her eyes filled with eagerness: "Mr. Chu, what kind of medicine did you say you needed last time?"
"I've been pretty free lately, maybe I can take a look for you."
Chu Juan raised a slight eyebrow, a subtle interest rising in her usually indifferent heart. Last time she was very resistant to mentioning her time in Yun City, but this time she brought it up herself.
His gaze inadvertently swept across the crowd and looked at Lu Yunzhou not far away. He noticed that although Lu Yunzhou was sitting there, his attention had been focused on Su Yuxi for most of the time.
It seems he still likes Su Yuxi very much.
This affection was something he couldn't understand. Why would he not stop her from being looked down upon and ridiculed by others?
Why does he favor his ex-girlfriend in front of others?
Even now, he never let go of Jiang Shiqian's hand, still holding her tightly and taking care of her diet and emotions.
Even those who don't like gossip, like Lu Yunzhou, have heard of his deeds outside of Shengjing. It is said that he gave up his candidacy for inheritance in order to get engaged to Su Yuxi, a decision that undoubtedly greatly limited his own development.
However, he is now very capable and has made his own business very successful. Although he cannot compare with his family, he is considered a leader in some emerging industries.
But when it comes to matters of the heart, he remained noncommittal; it seems this girl is finally coming to her senses.
Chu Juan withdrew his gaze, took out his phone, opened an encrypted photo album, found a few pictures in the medicinal herb pictures of the Five Eight Flower Sect, handed them to her, and lowered his voice: "Take a look, these are the ones. If you have them, I can buy them back at a high price."
Su Yuxi peeked over and took a look. The two were very close. She carefully observed and distinguished the herbs. With just one glance, she knew what they were.
"This is the Glass Vine, which is emerald green and resembles glass. It only grows on cliffs thousands of meters high and has an extremely low survival rate. This is the Morning Gold Grass, which likes to grow on tall trees and grows by accumulating the essence of heaven and earth in dew. This is the Flame Fruit, which usually grows in volcanic areas and can only survive by being exposed to the heat of fire all year round."
She couldn't help but shake her head inwardly: "These things you want are so hard to find."
It's hard to find, not impossible.
Moreover, these things are all guarded by beasts. If an ordinary person wants to pick what they are guarding, they might not be able to take it even if they see it.
But believe it or not, she actually does have one, but she can't go home.
Chu Juan stared at her blankly, not expecting that she really knew these things and could accurately describe their growth habits.
One thing is certain now: she really is a herb gatherer. Without some knowledge of medicine, one would not know these herbs.
He tried to suppress his joy, coughed twice, exchanged a glance with Fu Huaijin beside him, and after they understood each other's meaning, they quickly looked away as if nothing had happened.
“Miss Su knows about these things. If you have them, I can…” He hesitated for a moment before saying, “I can spend five million to buy one.”
This medicine is now virtually extinct and difficult to find. He has been searching for it for many years and has traveled to many places, but has not been able to find any information.
He only showed it to her on a whim this time, and the fact that she could say it was a pleasant surprise meant that he would get it at any cost if she could find it.
Su Yuxi took the phone from his hand and flipped through the three pictures. She gently pinched her chin and carefully considered: five million per plant, three plants would be fifteen million. The price is indeed good. If only she could go home and give him all those herbs, she could sell them for at least one or two hundred million.
Seeing her predicament, Chu Juan couldn't help but speak up: "Miss Su, is it because you think the price is too low? If the price is not right, you can name a price, and I will not haggle." This kind of medicinal herb, which is in high demand and short supply, will be sought after no matter the price. However, since it is more useful, the price will naturally be higher.
Su Yuxi's eyes held a hint of scrutiny and suspicion, and her heart couldn't help but tremble. To let her name her price so casually was quite arrogant: "If I said 10 billion, could you afford it?"
"Sigh, I do know where to pick these herbs. We used to have them at home, but unfortunately..."
Chu Juan's heart jumped instantly, and even the man next to her perked up: "What's the pity?"
Don't let hope be quickly dashed.
Su Yuxi shrugged and said indifferently, "I threw it away."
In the past, they would bring her small animals and strange things to please her, but she didn't need them; they were only good for soaking her feet.
The Flame Fruit had burned her hand last time, so she ended up smashing it to pieces.
Chu Juan's smile froze, and he almost choked on his breath: "Lost...lost?"
"Mm." Her reply was as casual as ever, as if it were some useless weed.
