Chapter 26 -26 Negotiation_1

“Little girl, he is my eldest son, Luo Jingrui.” Doctor Luo made introductions for both parties, “Jingrui, these are the siblings from the Yang family. They’re younger than you, so you mustn’t bully them.”

Luo Jingrui cast a deep glance at his father, his eyebrows quivering slightly.

Ling Fei said that his father was extremely affectionate and protective of this young girl, but he didn’t believe it; for so many years, his father had never cared about anything other than medicine. Now, without even starting to discuss the cooperation, his father had already warned him. It seemed that his father really had taken a special interest in the young girl.

After exchanging courtesies with Luo Jingrui, Yang Mengchen and the other three siblings sat down at the table.

The person in front of them was not at all as Uncle Luo had described, but Yang Mengchen was well aware of the saying that looks can be deceiving.

Doctor Luo also took a seat beside Yang Mengchen, as if he didn’t see the suggestive look his eldest son was giving him, and he diligently offered tea and pastries to the four siblings.

“Dad, I have something to discuss with Ms. Yang and the others. Why don’t you attend to your own business first?” Luo Jingrui felt compelled to send his father away.

However, Doctor Luo turned a deaf ear.

Catching a glimpse of the subtle displeasure and resignation that flitted across Luo Jingrui’s eyes and brows, Yang Mengchen took out the prepared medicine bottle and a piece of paper and handed them to Doctor Luo, “Uncle Luo, these are Curing Heart Pills, along with instructions and dietary regulation methods. When that person arrives later, please hand them to him.” From an angle that Luo Jingrui could not see, she winked at Doctor Luo.

Doctor Luo was indeed worried about Yang Mengchen, knowing that however clever she was, she was still a child and no match for his eldest son. But seeing her composed and calm expression, with cunning and sparkling eyes, he felt slightly reassured and was just about to take the medicine bottle and paper.

Unexpectedly, a shadow darted by, and the man in black who had been standing behind Luo Jingrui as part of the background respectfully presented the medicine bottle and paper to Luo Jingrui.

“Jingrui, those are Pills for treating patients. You don’t understand them, so why did you snatch them?” Doctor Luo glared at his son, visibly annoyed.

Unconcerned with his father’s scolding, Luo Jingrui focused on examining the medicine bottle and paper, a sharp gleam hidden in the depth of his eyes.

After a moment, Luo Jingrui placed the medicine bottle and paper on the table, and his attendant Nan Feng promptly picked them up and returned them to Doctor Luo. Doctor Luo hastily accepted them while casting a harsh glance at Nan Feng. With an expressionless face, Nan Feng returned to stand behind Luo Jingrui, leaving Doctor Luo fuming with exasperation. After shooting a warning glance at his son, Doctor Luo finally left the room.

Luo Jingrui elegantly sipped his tea while sizing up Yang Mengchen.

Compared to the noticeable nervousness of her three older brothers, she remained undisturbed throughout. It was precisely this composure, as if unaffected under immense pressure, that secretly astonished him. How could a mere country girl remain so calm and collected?

Yang Mengchen also remained silent, her demeanor so tranquil in the face of Luo Jingrui’s probing gaze that it revealed nothing.

At this moment, the one who could maintain their composure would control the lead and secure the final victory. This was her experience from countless negotiations in her past life.

She remembered when she first started her street stall and learned to do business. Being young and naively honest, she was often taken advantage of by others.

Until she met Fang Chenxu, a cunning, sly, and unscrupulously overbearing man.

Fang Chenxu would often come to her stall, and when buying things, he would argue over a dime until both were red in the face. Even when not making purchases, he’d find fault with this and that; if she didn’t respond, Fang Chenxu could prattle on beside her all day long. If she did respond, the more she said, the more energized he became.

Through day after day of debate, her courage gradually increased, her mind matured, and she became more rounded and thoughtful in her interactions with others; her business also prospered day by day.

Had it not been for Fang Chenxu’s sharp tongue and lashings, she wouldn’t have been so unwilling to admit defeat – she would’ve kept gritting her teeth and persevering. She wouldn’t have continually enhanced her own abilities and knowledge, nor would she have faced negotiators from various industries, even from different countries, with such confidence and composure, ultimately achieving victory time after time.

She was grateful to Fang Chenxu, especially after learning that he was the legendary founder of the leading business corporation, Dark Brilliance Group, and held him in even higher esteem, which is why she would leave a will entrusting all her assets to him.

Although Luo Jingrui was astute and aloof, he was still only eighteen or nineteen years old, and she believed he was far behind those seasoned foxes who had spent decades in the business world. Moreover, since it was a mutually beneficial arrangement, she was certain that Luo Jingrui would not refuse.

After a long time, Luo Jingrui suddenly asked, “Does Ms. Yang understand medical skills?”

“Whether I understand medical skills or not, what does that have to do with our partnership? Young Master Luo manages Apricot Forest Hall affairs, do you also understand medicine?” Yang Mengchen didn’t answer but countered with a question.

Luo Jingrui choked on her response, and his fair complexion gradually turned sharp: “If Ms. Yang doesn’t understand medical skills, how can she discern whether a prescription can be made into an effective pill? If Ms. Yang doesn’t understand medical skills, where would these supposed miracle cures come from? And how can she ensure that the pills produced will not be detrimental to people’s lives, jeopardizing the reputation of Apricot Forest Hall?”

“Just by listening to Young Master Luo’s words, I can tell that you are a layman.”

As if blind to the subtle change in Luo Jingrui’s expression, Yang Mengchen spoke nonchalantly, “While it’s true that medicine and medical practice are inseparable, a doctor may not fully understand the effects and contraindications of various herbs, and a herbalist may not be skilled in diagnosis and prescription writing. If Young Master Luo doesn’t believe it, you could ask Uncle Luo;

As long as I know what diseases the herbs in the doctor’s prescriptions treat and whether there are any contraindications, I can determine whether a Pill can be produced;

As for where my miracle cures come from, I’m afraid I cannot disclose that. However, rest assured, Young Master Luo, I rely on those prescriptions to earn money for my livelihood. Naturally, I would never allow any imperfection in the Pills I produce.”

Luo Jingrui’s smile did not reach his eyes: “Ms. Yang is quite straightforward.” His words were so tight that he couldn’t determine whether she knew medical skills.

“The primary condition for a partnership is integrity, wouldn’t you agree, Young Master Luo?” Yang Mengchen remained unfazed by his backhanded compliments.

Luo Jingrui’s prompt inquiry into her medical knowledge was probably not out of his own curiosity, but rather for Nangong Lingfei.

Uncle Luo also mentioned yesterday that with that ginseng, Yuyu might be able to live a few more years. Could it be that Yuyu’s condition is so serious that Nangong Lingfei is urgently seeking a doctor?

“Speaking of integrity, I’d like to ask Ms. Yang how you can propose such an absurd condition? It doesn’t seem to match the integrity you mention,” Luo Jingrui said.

“Please elaborate, Young Master Luo, I’m all ears.”

“My father agreed to pay Ms. Yang one thousand taels for each method of preparation she teaches, and I have no objection to that. However, to take a twenty percent share of all the Pill sales earnings… Where in the world is there such a cheap deal? And as for the prescriptions Ms. Yang holds, Apricot Forest Hall can completely buy them out. There’s no need to give Ms. Yang half the share, right?”

“You’re wrong, Young Master Luo,” said Yang Mengchen calmly. “Each prescription requires different auxiliary materials and can be made into various dosage forms. Naturally, each form has different medicinal values, so taking a mere twenty percent is already a loss for me. As for my prescriptions…”
