Chapter 58 A Century-Old Genius



Lin Xiaoxiao was speechless.

Why is He Xie so narcissistic?

He is very handsome, very capable, and has a very nice voice.

but......

but......

Hey, he can actually be narcissistic?

He's so outstanding...

If only he could be my boyfriend...

Wouldn't that make my life complete?

As she thought about it, Lin Xiaoxiao's face turned red.

She suddenly realized that He Xie seemed to perfectly meet her criteria for a partner.

Oh no, I'm about to be captured!

Lin Xiaoxiao panicked, her voice suddenly becoming somewhat stammering as she said, "You... what nonsense are you talking about? I'm two years older than you, how could I possibly like you!"

Seeing her so flustered, He Xie immediately laughed.

He said with a cheerful smile, "I was just joking, why are you getting so worked up?"

Lin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "This concerns a girl's innocence. How can you joke about something like this?"

He Xie said speechlessly, "You're so much older than me, how can you still call yourself a girl?"

"Thank you so much!!!"

Lin Xiaoxiao was really furious.

Is my best friend's brother somehow a little bit off?

Why does her emotional intelligence fluctuate so much?

Is this a deliberate attempt to disgust people?

[Contrast value from Lin Xiaoxiao +2800.]

Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao seemed a little angry, He Xie quickly changed the subject, saying, "Sister Xiaoxiao, does Chuchu's family really own a business?"

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Why would I lie to you?"

He Xie continued, "Is it the Lin's Trading Company over on the pedestrian street?"

"Your vision is too narrow."

Lin Xiaoxiao said with some pride, "It's not the one over on the pedestrian street, but the entire Lin's Trading Company in Nanjiang Province, which is owned by her family."

"hiss!"

He Xie gasped.

Holy crap! Her family owns all the Lin's Trading Company businesses in the entire province?

This is no small amount of money!

She's practically a princess now!

Thinking about it, He Xie soon had some doubts.

Why doesn't a young lady of such high status study at a top high school in Kyoto or Shanghai?

Instead, they came to study in Shanhai City, where the science education is extremely backward?

This place has a lot of students but few good universities, making the competition for higher education incredibly fierce.

What is her family after?

Furthermore, her family owns all the trading companies in the entire Nanjiang Province. With such inexhaustible resources, how come her biological level is so low?

Shouldn't we be able to eat all sorts of exotic flowers and fruits, and even a pig could evolve into Marshal Tianpeng?

He Xie was completely baffled.

However, he soon remembered a sentence that Lin Chuchu had mentioned twice before.

That's the line used to criticize An Ruoli.

—Eating large quantities of exotic flowers and fruits to force growth results in an extremely low potential for growth.

Is that the reason?

Are there any special taboos regarding the evolution through consuming exotic flowers and fruits?

He Xie's mind was racing, filled with doubts about the modern world of the Classic of Mountains and Seas he was in.

At this moment, Lin Xiaoxiao spoke again:

"Ke Ying's brother, what I just wanted to tell you is actually a matter of life and death for my family."

Is it really that exaggerated?

He Xie was a little confused. He thought that he had no relation to Lin Xiaoxiao and they weren't very close. How did he end up having a life-or-death situation with her family?

Lin Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and said in a slightly heavy voice:

Do you remember Lin's Pharmacy?

"You're not trying to tell me this is your family's business, are you?"

"Yes, it's my family's business."

"hiss!"

He Xie gasped again.

What kind of wealthy family is this? How come everyone here is a big boss?

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't waste any words and went straight to the point with He Xie: "In recent years, because we can't compete with other pharmacies in the province, my family's pharmacy is now on the verge of closing down. I need your help."

How can I help?

He Xie seemed to realize something, but still asked with feigned confusion.

Lin Xiaoxiao: "That day you borrowed my family's pharmacy to refine medicine, and one pill was left in the furnace."

He Xie: "And then?"

Lin Xiaoxiao: "I smelled the strong medicinal fragrance of that pill and swallowed it without thinking. Then I found that the medicinal effect was very powerful. It could instantly increase the body's blood and qi value, making it extremely valuable in the market."

He Xie: "So?"

Lin Xiaoxiao: "I need your help. I need the formula for this elixir to save my family's pharmacy."

Hearing this, He Xie became somewhat interested.

For him, the Qi and Blood Pill had a negligible effect on improving his health; it would have been more effective to simply breathe in and out more air while practicing breathing exercises.

Therefore, only by bringing this formula to market and monetizing it can he bring the greatest profit.

That's true.

But for He Xie, who is currently penniless, lacks connections and market position, getting a share of the market is an extremely difficult task.

Only by choosing a merchant to rely on and cooperating with them can one possibly achieve this goal of monetization.

Thinking of this, He Xie pretended to ponder for a moment.

Then he looked at Lin Xiaoxiao and said:

"Xiaoxiao, I'm very interested in what you've said. Could you tell me more about it?"

Lin Xiaoxiao: "It's very simple. You just need to provide the formula and get a share of the profits. My pharmacy will handle everything else. How about that?"

A hands-off manager?

This is exactly what I wanted.

He Xie nodded and asked, "Then how will the dividends be calculated?"

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Give me a ratio."

Yes, that's clever.

They deliberately left the decision of profit sharing to an outsider.

This way, we'll have the opportunity to rip off this novice.

He Xieren, having lived two lives, was an incredibly shrewd and astute person, so naturally he knew this.

He pretended to think it over for a moment, then said somewhat tentatively:

“You’re my sister’s best friend and Chu Chu’s sister, so we’re practically family.”

"Most importantly, with this collaboration, I can just sit back and wait to get my share of the profits; I don't have to do anything."

"So, in conclusion, I'd give it 91 points."

91 points?

Is it true or false?

Lin Xiaoxiao was a little surprised, thinking she had misheard.

She was originally only aiming for 55 points.

Unexpectedly, He Xie immediately asked for 91 points!

Didn't he know the value of this formula?

really!

High school students are still too young.

They're so easy to fool.

Lin Xiaoxiao felt a surge of secret joy.

However, the thought that He Xie might have a complicated relationship with him in the future made him hesitate.

So in the end, she couldn't bear to hurt him too much, and asked with a smile:

"91 points, don't you think that's a huge loss?"

He Xie smiled and said, "It's not a loss, it's not a loss. If I can marry Chu Chu in the future, then we will be a family."

"We're family, no need to be so formal."

A family?

Is this too early to say?

Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled inwardly, then said, "That's true, but even close brothers should keep clear accounts. I think we should go with 82 points, so you don't earn too little."

"Um... Sister Xiaoxiao, it seems you've misunderstood me."

He Xie looked at Lin Xiaoxiao and smiled, "The 91 points I just mentioned were my 9 and your 1."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "?"

[Contrast value from Lin Xiaoxiao: +2685.]

Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned.

You want to take 90% of the profits without doing anything and just lying around waiting for them to be distributed?

You're dreaming!

Thinking it over, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately stepped on the brakes and refused, saying, "That's impossible."

He Xie smiled and said, "Sister Xiaoxiao, your family owns a trading company, so I think you should know very well what my Qi and Blood Pill formula means."

"It can not only revive your pharmacy, but also help you seize the market and defeat other pharmacies after it is revived."

"Even if my share of the profits is 10 and yours is 0, you will not lose anything, and you may even make a fortune."

Damn it, how can this little boy be so shrewd?

Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't understand it, so she could only bite her red lips and say, "You're taking advantage of my misfortune!"

He Xie laughed and returned the favor, saying, "You just said you wanted 82 points, weren't you just trying to trick me because you think I'm young and an amateur?"

"I'm Chuchu's older sister. Don't you consider her feelings when you do this?"

Lin Xiaoxiao was at her wit's end and resorted to playing the emotional card.

He Xie shook his head and laughed, "You've got that wrong. It's Chu Chu who needs to consider my feelings, not the other way around."

"I told you in the private room before that she's my simp, and I wasn't kidding about that."

"Xiaoxiao, please think it over carefully. If you've made up your mind, please contact me on WeChat. I'm leaving now, bye-bye."

After saying that, He Xie immediately opened the car door and left.

Watching He Xie's tall figure gradually disappear into the darkness, Lin Xiaoxiao's face flushed with anger, and she slammed her hand heavily on the steering wheel to vent her frustration.

He Xie's performance just now completely exceeded her expectations.

This isn't some student you can easily fool; he's a shrewd person who's lived for hundreds of years!
