Chapter 117: There Is No Fate Between Us; It’s All Thanks to My Money
“No.”
Mrs. Qin Xu shook her head excitedly.
“Why?”
“That is exactly what we couple want to know!”
Could it be because of her pheromone grade?
Su Miantang furrowed her brows. Then she heard them continue, “Over the years, besides doctors, we have invited many high-grade females to help. There was no lack of S-grade females, and even your Queen was among them. But even with pheromones that mellow, they couldn’t get close to him.”
Even Queen Jenny couldn’t do it?
It seemed it had nothing to do with pheromone grades.
“You are the only exception so far.”
Brooklyn could not restrain the thoughts in his heart.
“Miss Su Miantang, actually, our visit today—besides apologizing—is out of a selfish desire to ask for your help with Yanzhou.”
“Help him?”
If it were a physical injury, she might consider it, but for a psychological shadow, even pheromones wouldn’t work.
“Mhm. You don’t need to do anything else. As long as you are willing to get close to him, be his friend, and help him overcome his fear of females from the bottom of his heart, that would be enough.”
“Correct. We won’t let you work for nothing. As long as you agree, the gold, silver, treasures, and rare items of this world—whatever you like, whatever you want—we will present them with both hands!”
“Here is a check. You may fill in the deposit as you wish; it will be credited to your account immediately.”
Mrs. Qin Xu took a check out of her bag and handed it to her.
Su Miantang accidentally caught a glimpse: ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands… hundred millions? And this was just the deposit!
She suddenly felt like a character in a TV drama where the CEO’s mother gives the “pure little flower” five million to stay away from her son—except Mrs. Qin Xu was giving her a hundred million to find her son.
“No need.”
She immediately declined.
“Mrs. Qin Xu, you are too kind. This isn’t a matter of money.”
“Then it is…”
The couple was puzzled.
Su Miantang hesitated.
Since the high-grade females they invited before hadn’t been effective, she might not be either. It might even cause his condition to worsen.
“Miss Su Miantang.”
Seeing that she was about to refuse, Mrs. Qin Xu’s eyes welled up, and two lines of hot tears fell instantly.
“Yanzhou is not just the sole heir of our Qin Group; he is also the life of my husband and me. If he stays like this, we don’t know what the point of living is.”
“I beg of you, save him. Treat it as saving that poor child who was only six years old back then.”
“As long as you are willing to save him, we will do anything.”
As she spoke, she actually moved to kneel. Startled, Su Miantang pulled her up. “Mrs. Qin Xu, don’t be like this. I… give me some time to think about it.”
“Alright!”
A crowd of members from the new suppressant research group, fearing their leader was being bullied, hid outside the reception room to eavesdrop.
They heard nothing.
However, when the Group Leader saw the Qin couple out, they saw the two of them bow deeply to her and quietly slip a check into her pocket!
How was this possible?
Those were the helmsmen of the Interstellar’s top plutocracy—the Qin couple!
And that was a check from the Interstellar USB Bank, in units of billions!
After seeing them off, Su Miantang turned around to see her team members hiding around the corner, dumbstruck. “What are you all doing?”
“Group Leader, you actually conquered the Qin couple? Are you truly a god?”
“Group Leader, why did they give you so much money? Are they trying to buy your life?”
“…”
Goldchrysallis Island.
“Head, you instructed us to closely monitor Miss Su Miantang’s activities. Today, she released a video on the official website of the Central Star National Academy of Sciences explaining how to use the new suppressant.”
“Play it.”
“Yes!”
In the holographic projection screen, the young girl was in a cold laboratory. Her long black hair was tied high, and she wore goggles and protective clothing. Holding the suppressant, she was demonstrating the operation method. Although the imagery was extremely beautiful, her expression was focused and meticulous. The video was short and strictly professional. One could remember the content after watching it once.
However, the man standing tall before the large screen watched it once, twice, three times… who knew how many times had passed. He stood still like a statue, leaving the butler utterly perplexed.
No matter how good-looking she was, after so many repetitions, he should have memorized her expressions and the content by heart.
After a while, the butler couldn’t help but remind him.
“Head, the meeting with Prince Charlie is about to begin.”
“Is there news about the new suppressant?”
“Yes, the Academy of Sciences just sent a message saying it has been manufactured and can be delivered tomorrow.”
“Who?”
Ah?
The butler froze for a moment then realized he was asking who was delivering it. Since he cared about such a small detail, he was definitely anticipating Miss Su Miantang.
Unfortunately…
“The message mentions a male researcher named Alan.”
The moment Qin Yanzhou heard a different name, the profound light in his eyes instantly dimmed.
As expected, would she not come again?
His dark, feather-like eyelashes drooped slightly, and his knuckles tightened around the Begonia silk handkerchief.
It must be because of his attitude last time. She must loathe him and never want to see him again…
The tycoon who usually turned clouds into rain in the business world felt a deep sense of powerlessness for the first time.
The jasmine scent on the silk handkerchief had gradually faded, just as she might never appear in his life again. At the thought of it, his chest throbbed with a dull ache.
“Are the Central Galaxy and the X-Galaxy still at war?”
“Yes, it’s in full swing.”
“Draft a contract. The Qin Group will permanently and freely sponsor all military supplies and materials for the Central Galaxy’s campaign, with no upper limit.”
“W-what?!”
The butler, who usually never questioned the Head’s decisions, felt his spine go numb with shock.
Permanent, free, no upper limit…
This would be a monstrous business deal starting at a trillion, with an incalculable ceiling.
Was the Head doing this just to show his goodwill to Miss Su?
He swore that this would be the largest “wife-chasing” fee in the entire Interstellar for millions of years.
