The Regent Princess has run away again

"Zhi Yu, this pharmacy is the largest in the capital, and the medicinal materials are also top-notch," Madam Li said as she led Xue Zhi Yu inside.

Before she entered, Xue Zhiyu smelled a strong scent of medicinal herbs. This familiar feeling made her smile slightly.

"Ma'am, is there anything I can help you with?" The man who was sorting the medicinal herbs came over and smiled at the two people who came in.

Madam Li glanced at Xue Zhiyu, who walked up to the man and smiled, "I want to talk to your boss. This is a big business."

The man didn't take it seriously. There were always women using various excuses to get close to the boss, and he was tired of seeing them. After she finished talking, he declined without a second thought, "The boss has been very busy lately. Just tell me if you have anything to say."

"But I don't think you can represent your boss. I want to discuss a big business with your boss. I believe your boss may be very interested."

The man frowned, but when he saw the seriousness on the opposite face, he hesitated for a moment, waved to the man who was busy next to him, motioned him to come over, then whispered a few words in his ear, and the man turned and walked another way.

"Then please wait a moment. I have to go busy myself. You can come to me anytime if you need anything," the man said and continued to fiddle with the herbs in his hand.

The man who had left went up to the second floor and knocked on one of the rooms and said respectfully, "Boss, there is a girl who wants to discuss business with you. Do you want to meet her?"

"Oh, a girl who hasn't even reached the age of marriage wants to discuss business with me. This is very interesting."

The man outside the door frowned, not being able to figure out what the boss was thinking for a moment, so he didn't know whether his master would meet him or not.

"Then the big boss..."

"Yes, of course I have to. Invite him to the Qingzhi Room and treat him well."

"Yes!"

Hearing the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs outside the door, a man in a black robe played with the black chess in his hand, staring at the light purple figure with amusement in his eyes. He wanted to see what the third young lady of the Xue family wanted to talk to him about.

Xue Zhiyu and the other person stood there for a while, and soon the man who had left came over quickly. The difference was that his attitude had obviously changed this time.

"Please follow me, the boss is waiting for you."

"Okay, thank you for your help," Xue Zhiyu nodded. Her tone was neither humble nor arrogant, which made the man look up to her. Was this the reason why the boss made an exception for them?

After following the man up to the second floor, Xue Zhiyu couldn't help but be a little shocked. This... this didn't look like something an ordinary family could own. Although the decoration was very ordinary, every piece of furnishing inside must be worth a fortune.

"You two, the boss is already waiting inside," the man stopped in front of the Qingzhi Room, made a gesture of invitation and then left.

Just when Xue Zhiyu was about to push the door open, Madam Li held her hand, with unstoppable worry in her eyes. Her intuition told her that this head of the family was not ordinary, and she was also vaguely uneasy.

Xue Zhiyu shook her head at her, held her hand, and then pushed open the door.

The layout that caught the eye was completely different from the outside. The simple and elegant decoration demonstrated the noble taste of its owner. It was elegant, noble, peaceful and beautiful. The man sitting in the middle made it all look more like an ink painting. His slender white fingers held the teacup, and his beautiful profile added a bit of domineering against the background of the black robe.

As a woman, Xue Zhiyu couldn't help but be stunned when she saw this. After she came to her senses, she pinched her thigh. Looking at her useless appearance, she didn't know how many times she had been stunned by handsome guys since she came here.

Qin Yuming raised his eyelids, taking in the astonishment in the other person's eyes. A trace of displeasure flashed across his heart. He coughed lightly and said, "I wonder what big business the young lady wants to discuss with me. Why don't you sit down and have a good chat?"

"Ah...well, thank you very much, Boss." Xue Zhiyu came back to her senses, her ears slightly red, but she still pretended to be calm and sat down.

When Mrs. Li saw Xue Zhiyu sitting down, she sighed secretly. This child was really careless. Why did she sit down? But she didn't know what to say. She could only bow to Qin Yuming and then sit next to Xue Zhiyu.

Xue Zhiyu didn't waste any words and got straight to the point. "I want to have long-term cooperation with the boss. You can provide a steady supply of medicinal materials. As for the profit share, we will split it 50-50. I will also write the more detailed information in the agreement. If the boss is interested, I will discuss it with you in detail later."

Qin Yuming did not rush to speak. He put down the hand holding the teacup, but the hand holding the black chess piece tapped the table from time to time, and each tap seemed to be knocking on one's heart. His pair of charming eyes stared at Xue Zhiyu without blinking, as if he wanted to see a hole in her.

"Why do you think I should trust you? What if you go bankrupt someday? Besides, there are many people who want to cooperate with our Ji Pharmaceutical Factory, and it is well-known. I don't have to worry about them going bankrupt someday, unless... you have something that I am interested in..."

At this point, Qin Yuming leaned over and continued in her ear with a magnetic voice, "Otherwise, there's nothing to discuss, Miss Xue San." After that, he quickly sat back in his seat, as if his previous action was just an illusion.

Xue Zhiyu rubbed her ears uncomfortably, trying not to feel the strangeness as much as possible. The way she looked at Qin Yuming changed. How did he know that she was the Third Miss Xue? She rarely left the house, so it was impossible for her to know such a person. How could he...

Qin Yuming couldn't help but turned sideways and chuckled a few times. Doesn't this little girl know how to hide it? He could clearly feel the suspicion in her eyes even if he didn't look. When he received the puzzled look from the other party, he quickly adjusted himself and narrowed his eyes cunningly like a fox.

Xue Zhiyu calmed herself down and said, "Since the boss knows me, he should know how popular my pills were some time ago. If you provide me with the medicinal materials, I believe you are a smart person, so I won't say too much."

I underestimated her. A girl who has not even reached the age of 15 can have such a business acumen. If she were a man, I'm afraid the world would have to be completely changed.

"That was a while ago. You don't know that the beauty formula recently launched by Lily Hall is very popular among women. The shopkeeper also came to me several times to try to cooperate with me, but I rejected him every time. Do you think I would take a small pharmacy like yours seriously?"

"No, this is not just a pharmacy, it's also a clinic, er... a medical clinic. How about this, you sign a short-term agreement with me. If it doesn't work out, I will definitely compensate you. Do you have a pen and paper? I'll write it down for you."

"Beitian."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man who appeared out of nowhere stood behind him respectfully, waiting for Qin Yuming's next words.

"Go get some paper and pen."

"Yes."

Less than a moment later, the man came back again and placed the paper, pen, inkstone and ink stick in his hand on the table. Qin Yuming waved his hand and he left.

Xue Zhiyu didn't think much about it. She picked up the ink stick and started grinding the ink. She didn't notice that Madam Li next to her was staring at the inkstone with an incredible look in her eyes. She almost wanted to shout out when she saw her grinding the ink on it.

This... this is a rare inkstone, which cannot be measured by money at all. Moreover, this kind of inkstone is usually collected and few people are willing to use it. But the man in front of me gave it to others without blinking an eye. He must be just the boss of a herbal medicine shop.

When the grinding was almost done, Xue Zhiyu put down the ink stick, picked up the brush beside her and started writing on the paper.

Because in modern times I am also considered a half calligraphy enthusiast. I cannot say that it is very beautiful, but at least it is acceptable.

........

"Okay, take a look," Xue Zhiyu blew on the paper habitually, then picked it up and placed it in front of him.

Qin Yuming put the black chess piece aside. He was shocked when he saw the neatly written agreement. It was the first time he saw such a complete agreement. All the contents written were clear at a glance. There was even a place for signature at the bottom, which he had never seen before. In this way, he was indeed not afraid that the other party would not admit it.

"How about it, do you understand it?" Seeing that he was frowning, Xue Zhiyu thought that what she wrote might be a little complicated, but she had tried to simplify it as much as possible. She stood up and walked to his side to look at what she had written again.

Qin Yuming actually understood it, but he still didn't expect that such a complete agreement would be written by a woman, so he didn't react to Xue Zhiyu's sudden approach for a while.

When he came to his senses, he smelled the faint scent of jasmine. He turned his face slightly uncomfortably and moved slightly to the side. He glanced at Xue Zhiyu next to him. Her fair little face was full of seriousness, and her long eyelashes were like a small curved fan, which made his heart beat faster uncontrollably.

Xue Zhiyu here has been repeatedly checking the agreement she wrote, but there is no problem no matter how she looks at it. When she turned around, Qin Yuming just retracted his gaze and there was no expression on his face.

"By the way, I still don't know what to call you?"

"Qin Yuming."

"Okay, then if you think what I wrote is okay, then just sign it here. I'll make another copy later, one for you and one for me. Then we won't have to worry about one of us breaking the contract."

"Since Miss Xue San is so sincere, I will believe you this time," Qin Yuming said, then picked up the brush she had just written with, and wrote her name in the signature area with a wave of her hand.

Xue Zhiyu also quickly wrote her name and copied it on a blank piece of paper. The two of them signed again and it was done.

The two of them each took a copy and put it away. Xue Zhiyu said, "Boss Qin, tomorrow I will have someone write down the herbs I want to take on paper for you, and then you can deliver it to the shop upstairs."

"Okay, but I have a favor to ask. I hope Miss Xue San can help me solve it?"

Xue Zhiyu didn't say anything, motioning for him to continue.

"Did you learn this method from someone? The person who came up with this method must be very talented. I want to meet him."

Xue Zhiyu probably guessed that he would ask this, and had already made up a story, "I'm afraid that won't work, because this was taught to me by an immortal in my dream when I was unconscious, so..."

Qin Yuming smiled knowingly, "It's okay, I'm just curious. In this case, I won't keep Miss Xue any longer. I'll let Beitian take you out."

"Then trouble you."

After they left the pharmacy, Madam Li pulled Xue Zhiyu into the carriage. After they had gone some distance, she spoke, "Zhiyu, this person is not an ordinary person. I'm afraid it will be dangerous for you to cooperate with him."

Xue Zhiyu shook her head. Although she knew there were certain risks, she knew that the greater the risk, the greater the reward. Moreover, she glanced at the medicinal herbs they were fiddling with, and they were all top-quality medicinal herbs, so she decided to cooperate with this person.

"Don't worry, Madam. Although I don't know his identity, I believe he can help me."

Seeing Xue Zhiyu say this, Madam Li could only sigh and stop trying to dissuade her.

On the other side, just as Xue Zhiyu and the others left, a middle-aged man walked up quickly, looked at Bei Tian and said with a smile, "Is your head of the Qin family here today? I think..."

"The boss is very busy and has no time to see you. Please go back," Beitian interrupted without waiting for anyone to finish speaking.

The middle-aged man had a slightly embarrassed look on his face. He wanted to say something, but when he saw Beitian’s cold face, he had to swallow the words back into his stomach.

"Then... then when is your boss free? I will definitely come to visit you."

"Let's talk about it later," Beitian didn't give the man any face at all. After he finished speaking, he ignored the man's reaction and turned around and walked inside.
