Chapter 98: Unique Fennel
Yu Jinxiu glanced at Ruan Qi's retracted hand, touched his cold neck, and looked at Xi Jiu with lingering fear.
Xi Jiu didn't look at him. With his eyes lowered, he slowly cut the steak on the plate with his dinner knife. Every time he cut, the blade scraped against the plate, making a harsh 'sizzling' sound.
Yu Jinxiu felt a chill run down his spine as he heard this. He shrank his neck in fear and asked Ruan Qi, "Teacher Ruan, how much do you plan to sell this Jade Dew Cream for?"
"Hmm..." Ruan Qi took a bite of the beef cubes Xi Jiu had chopped, thought for a moment, and said, "One thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine yuan."
When Yu Jinxiu heard the price, his brows slowly furrowed.
"Teacher Ruan, isn't this price too cheap? Those whitening masks my mom buys at the mall counter cost several thousand yuan a box. Jade Dew Cream is so effective, it's worth it at ten thousand yuan. Nineteen ninety-nine is really too cheap, why don't you reconsider it?"
What Yu Jinxiu said made some sense, but Ruan Qi still declined the high bid of 10,000 yuan.
"A Daxian store isn't a cosmetics counter. The pharmacy's market is always for the general public. If the prices are too high, people won't be able to afford them. As a doctor, the medicines you research should be affordable for everyone, not just high-end products."
Yu Jinxiu didn't expect that the seemingly soft little girl could actually say such words.
He was stunned for a moment, and a feeling of shame came over him.
"Teacher Ruan is right. The medicines developed by doctors should be affordable for everyone. I was blinded by money and was too materialistic."
Yu Jinxiu's old face flushed with shame.
Ruan Qi looked at him, smiled, and shook her head. "Ah Xiu, don't say that. You're the marketing manager. If you're not mercenary, who's going to help me make money? And you're right. Considering the effectiveness of Yu Lu Cream, a price of 1999 is indeed too cheap. So I plan to wait until sales are established before launching a VIP-level Yu Lu Cream package with a higher price and better efficacy."
Yu Jinxiu's eyes lit up.
"That's a great idea! Ordinary people can buy the regular version for 1999. Those with more money, or who want a faster-acting version, can buy the VIP version. This way, everyone can afford it, and it'll look classier."
"Yes, that's what I mean." Ruan Qi took a bite of the bun Xi Jiu gave her, then turned and waved to Da Hui, who was not far away. "Da Hui, go to the living room and get the box from the coffee table."
Dahui, who was eating dog food, received the command, let out an angry "howl", and ran away with his fat body.
Soon, it returned to the restaurant with a small iron box the size of a palm in its mouth.
"Good boy, Dahui." Ruan Qi patted its head, took the small iron box from its mouth and handed it to Yu Jinxiu.
Yu Jin Xiu was almost dumbfounded.
He took the box with a confused look on his face, and looked at Dahui again and again with a suspicious look. Finally, he asked uncertainly: "Teacher Ruan, your dog... is it Alaska?"
Nie Heng, who was eating quietly, looked up in surprise.
"Yu Jinxiu, which eye of yours tells you it looks like an Alaskan?" He pointed at Da Hui's face. "Those blue eyes and the three flames on its head—it's clearly a purebred Husky."
Of course, Xiu Jin saw Da Hui's blue eyes and three fires.
It is precisely because I saw it that I find it even more incredible.
With the intelligence of a purebred Husky, it can actually understand its owner's command to get something?!
This is truly a breath of fresh air among Huskies!
"As expected of Teacher Ruan's dog!" Yu Jinxiu sighed from the bottom of his heart, "It's just different from other dogs!"
Just as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang in the restaurant.
Everyone turned their heads quickly.
...The unique Husky that Yu Jinxiu mentioned, after eating his fill, overturned the dog bowl with one paw and rushed to the kitchen like lightning.
Then, the car failed to brake and the whole dog rolled three times before finally hitting the cupboard with a bang.
Yu Jinxiu: "..."
