When Xie Lanzhi said that Qin Shu should take medicine, there was a hint of teasing and anticipation in his tone.
“…” Qin Shu’s cheeks flushed slightly.
Thinking of the two times she was fed medicine, she turned her head and shouted towards the kitchen, "Is the medicine ready?"
“Here it comes!”
The cook came out with a bowl of tonic and handed it to Xie Lanzhi very skillfully.
Qin Shu said unhappily: "What did you do to him? It was me who took the medicine, not him!"
The cook looked at Xie Lanzhi helplessly, and the latter nodded slightly: "Give the medicine to Ah Shu, she is very well behaved now and can drink the medicine by herself."
"Xie Lanzhi, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"
Qin Shu seemed unable to wait any longer, so she stood up and walked to the cook, took the medicine bowl and brought it to her mouth, then she tilted her head back and drank the bitter and astringent tonic very heroically.
Her beautiful eyebrows were furrowed in a frown, but only for a moment before she regained her composure.
The servant handed over a small plate: "Madam, this is frosted sugar, have one to sweeten your mouth."
Qin Shu's tense face relaxed slightly, and she couldn't wait to pick up a candy and bring it to her mouth, suppressing the urge to vomit in her throat.
Seeing that Qin Shu was so miserable that her face was about to wrinkle, but she was still trying her best to endure and restrain herself, Li Hongyan asked in confusion, "What kind of medicine is my cousin taking?"
Xie Lanzhi stood up gracefully and used a handkerchief to wipe the medicine from the corners of Qin Shu's lips, his gentle voice carrying a hint of displeasure.
"She is not feeling well and needs to rest. If you have nothing to do, please don't disturb her."
Li Hongyan and Du Yi looked at each other, not knowing for a moment whether they should explain their purpose.
Qin Shu snatched the handkerchief from Xie Lanzhi's hand, wiped her mouth roughly, and turned to face Li Hongyan and Du Yi.
"Don't bother with him. I'm not that squeamish. Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Du Yi said: "A company called Maozhen Pharmaceutical came to us and wanted to buy the prescription of Shenbao Pills at a high price?"
Qin Shu opened her beautiful eyes slightly: "What was the name of the company you just mentioned?"
Du Yi: "Maozhen Pharmaceutical Company."
Qin Shu subconsciously looked at Xie Lanzhi who was standing beside her and found that the man had a frown on his face.
The two looked at each other and recalled the incident in Yunzhen City when Qin Hairui and Fan Yaozong were plotted against.
At that time, Maozhen Pharmaceutical Company placed an order for Lingxin Palace Baowan worth 200,000 from Fan Yaozong and almost became their big customer. Later, they found out that it was Xiao Ri's calculation, and he was after Qin's secret technique that was not passed on to others.
Qin Shu narrowed her beautiful eyes and asked calmly, "Is this Maozhen Pharmaceutical Company very famous in Hong Kong?"
Du Yi shook his head: "It's not that famous, but the price they offered is very high."
Qin Shu asked: "How much?"
Du Yi: "One million."
Qin Shu looked disdainful, with a sarcastic arc at the corner of her lips: "One million? You're just giving money to beggars!"
Although the cost of each pill of her kidney-tonifying pill is less than ten yuan, the production process requires careful control. If one step is wrong, the efficacy of the drug will be greatly reduced.
Moreover, the value brought by the future profits of the Kidney-Nourishing Pills is not comparable to one million!
Qin Shu snorted, "Too little! Even if they offer ten times the price to buy my recipe, I won't sell it to them!"
Li Hongyan noticed that her face looked strange, and asked softly, "Cousin, do you have a grudge against that Maozhen Pharmaceutical?"
Qin Shu said succinctly: "They had plotted against my eldest brother before in Yunzhen City."
As for the matter of coveting the Qin family's secret techniques, she just brushed it off lightly.
When Du Yi heard this, his face immediately darkened: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't even meet them. I don't know how they got to me through my father."
Qin Shu inexplicably thought of the Ninth Girl, her beautiful eyes half closed, and she said calmly: "I will not work with Japanese companies, and I will not even sell them a single pill. Don't look for me if you encounter such a thing in the future. There is no room for maneuver."
Li Hongyan and Du Yi nodded to her, indicating that they understood.
The two also talked about the kidney-tonifying pills that were being sold at high prices in Hong Kong recently, and asked Qin Shu when she would produce another batch.
Qin Shu stood there for a long time, walked to the sofa, and leaned on the back of the sofa like a lazy cat.
She said lazily, "I haven't been feeling well lately. The business of the kidney-tonifying pills will be handed over to my eldest brother. You can just contact him and communicate."
Such a laborious and tiring task as making pills could be handed over to the Qin family's children. She only had to do it and wait to get paid.
Li Hongyan nodded: "Okay, let's contact Brother Qin later."
Then, he changed the subject: “Little cousin, the ointment you gave Lina a few days ago is very effective. Most of the injuries on her face have recovered, and even the scar on her forehead that had existed for more than ten years has disappeared.
The ointment is very effective. It can remove scars and is better than the beauty creams on the market. Do you plan to use it to expand sales?"
Qin Shu raised her eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
Li Hongyan's eyes sparkled with gold: "If the ladies and celebrities in Hong Kong knew there was such a magical ointment, they would be very tempted even if it was worth a fortune."
Qian Lina holds the ointment in her hand every day and protects it as if it were a treasure.
From this we can see that if other ladies and socialites knew about the existence of such a treasure, they would probably fight for it.
Qin Shu pinched her chin and said thoughtfully, "It is simple to make the ointment, but the amount is not large, and the medicine it needs is very precious."
Li Hongyan analyzed from a businessman's perspective: "If this is the case, then it couldn't be better. Things that sell for small profits but quick turnover are actually worthless in the eyes of the rich. This will not only maintain the image of my cousin's wife's branch in Hong Kong in the future, but also increase the value of the products."
After all, it’s still the same hunger marketing routine.
But Qin Shu had to admit that she was unable to mass-produce the beauty cream to heal scars.
Because one of the ingredients was a priceless treasure left to her by her grandfather, and it was also the medicinal powder on the black wooden lump that she had used to save Xie Lan.
Qin Shu's career as a doctor was blocked in her previous life, so she worked hard in the business world for half her life. She knew the ways of the world and was able to build good personal connections.
She shook her head at Li Hongyan: "The scar removal and beauty cream is very valuable. Selling it will only lower its value. Besides, I have a lot of prescriptions that I want to make money from. We can use the cream as a gift. Things that are not clearly marked with a price are not only hard to come by, but also priceless treasures.
I will find time to make some later, and if it helps the Guo family in the future, or if it helps Kangqian Pharmaceutical's partners, I can give them a box."
Li Hongyan asked in astonishment, "Is the ointment even rarer than the kidney-tonifying pills?"
Qin Shu raised her eyebrows and smiled: "It's not just rare, it's a treasure that will disappear once it's consumed."
Xie Lanzhi, who was sitting next to him, raised his hand and touched his left cheek.
Last fall, half of his face was covered with hideous and terrifying scars.
Qin Shu used some wood-scented ointment on him, and in just one month, the scars on his face disappeared.
The medicine was so effective that Xie Lanzhi was shocked at the time. It was like a dead tree coming back to life, removing scars and regenerating skin.
When Li Hongyan learned about the rarity of the scar-removing and beauty cream, he was not disappointed, but became even more excited.
With such a treasure in hand, there is no need to worry about not pushing the Guo family to a higher level, and Kangqian Pharmaceutical will also take firm roots in Hong Kong.

Time flies
The day came when Qin Shu and Xie Lanzhi left Hong Kong.
That afternoon, the weather was sunny and the sky was clear. Qin Shu was pulled into the study by Xie Lanzhi and signed many documents, one of which was written entirely in English.
Qin Shu just glanced at it, waved her hand, and signed her name directly.
She had an inexplicable trust in Xie Lanzhi in her heart, and this trust made her unconsciously dependent on him both physically and mentally.
Qin Shu never thought that Xie Lanzhi would plot against her.
Therefore, she did not notice that after signing the English document, Xie Lanzhi looked at her with a look of pleasure that showed a certain success.
Xie Lanzhi gently stroked Qin Shu's soft black hair and casually took away the two copies of the English document.
"Ashu, take your time signing. Take a break if you feel tired. I'll go see how Amuti is preparing."
Qin Shu said without even looking up: "Go ahead, and remember to ask Amuti to bring the Hong Kong specialties he bought."
"knew--"
Xie Lanzhi left holding the documents in his hand
The door of the study was opened and then slowly closed.
In the corridor outside the door stood Old Master Guo holding a dragon-headed cane.
His eyes were calm and deep, with wrinkles remaining at the corners, witnessing the wisdom and vicissitudes of life over the years.
The old man's eyes were filled with kindness and care: "Has your wife signed yet?"
Xie Lanzhi handed over the two documents, his face was warm and his voice was smiling: "Sign it, you can go for notarization at any time."
Old Master Guo took the two documents, shook his head and chuckled, "You are really willing to give up. I only have 60% of the shares, and I gave them all to your wife. This is an asset worth tens of billions of dollars. It is the result of my hard work for half my life."
Xie Lanzhi's lips twitched slightly, and he said slowly: "This is the asset you left me on the surface. The business that makes money in secret is the big part. And Ah Shu is my wife. She risked her life to give birth to two little boys for me. She likes money, so I will give her everything I have."
He had long seen that Qin Shu loved money, and that liking seemed to give her a sense of security.
Old Master Guo looked at the distinctive handwriting on the document, which was written by Qin Shu, and said with a smile, "As long as you don't regret it."
Xie Lanzhi's eyes were firm, and he said solemnly: "I won't regret it. The thing I regret least in my life is that I fell in love with Ah Shu last year... at first sight!"
He almost let the cat out of the bag, but he reacted very quickly and covered it up quickly.
Old Master Guo, who looked like a shrewd man, looked at Xie Lanzhi meaningfully: "He has the same temper as your father. When he saw your mother, he couldn't walk either."
Xie Lanzhi touched the tip of his nose awkwardly, not daring to say anything.
The old man smiled and said, "Come downstairs with me, and we'll do a notarization together to finalize the matter before you leave."
Xie Lanzhi said very seriously: "Thank you for your understanding, Grandpa."
Old Master Guo sighed and said, "I understand. Your Xie family is full of romantics. Your grandfather was an old romantic, your father was a big romantic, and now you are also a little romantic.
I think Ah Shu hasn't opened her heart to you yet, but you're trying so hard to stuff things into your wife's pocket."
Xie Lanzhi joked, "I have to keep him here. Since true love can't win him over, I'll use money to make up for it."
