Chapter 173: Chapter 172: Making Friends Out of Nothing
The surgery was very successful, Shangguan Qing’s spiritual power is stable locally, and the data of her spiritual waves show that her condition has clearly returned to seven years ago, being able to remain lucid for about 6 hours every day.
Doctors have already started formulating post-surgery dietary and rehabilitation plans for her, and arranged follow-up psychological treatment to prevent any mental stress and unexpected incidents when she wakes up.
In the meantime, while waiting for Shangguan Qing to wake up, Wei Bisheng sent a message saying he had arrived at Xixi Cafe.
[I am your uncle]: Did you order coffee for me?
Wei Bisheng was silent for a while, then sent the menu of the coffee shop.
[Wei Bisheng]: [Image] Not sure about your taste, which coffee would you like?
[I am your uncle]: Haha, actually I’m not a big fan of coffee~
Wei Bisheng: ?
Are you just trying to be annoying?! Acting like a brat, so infuriating!
Staring at the menu, Wei Bisheng decisively ordered two of the bitterest coffees and placed them on the table, waiting patiently for Qian Qi to arrive.
minutes later, Qian Qi sauntered into Xixi Cafe, glanced around, and sincerely waved at Wei Bisheng and Han Biao.
"Little Qian, is this our first meeting?" Wei Bisheng, sitting on the sofa chair, raised his hand like a host, gesturing to the sofa chair opposite, "Have a seat."
Qian Qi plopped down, crossed his legs, and jiggled his foot making his flip-flop sway along, appearing very laid-back, "Talk, old man, what’s up?"
"No rush, they only sell coffee here, but this Mant Coffee is very rich, you might like it." Wei Bisheng pointed at the coffee cup on the table, "Give it a try."
Seeing Wei Bisheng so warm, Qian Qi lifted the coffee cup and took a sip.
Qian Qi: ...
Wei Bisheng was just about to smile when he saw Qian Qi, without changing expression, say, "President Wei, the coffee flavor you chose is quite trashy."
Wei Bisheng: ...
Underestimated it, didn’t expect Qian Qi not only to be cheeky but also to insult directly.
However, Wei Bisheng didn’t care about such verbal battles, getting to this position didn’t rely on quick words.
He went straight to the point, "Student Qian Qi, by now, that person should be done with surgery? I heard the Treatment Potion was brought by you."
"To make a Treatment Potion, I’m afraid only someone like you can do it. How about making a deal now? As long as you are willing to create a Treatment Potion for me, you can ask for any condition."
Wei Bisheng values Qian Qi’s youth; no matter how smart, the age determines the experience is limited, so what extraordinary conditions could she ask for?
She brought herself and Tang Yunde into a three-person small group, didn’t even limit the auction price, wasn’t it to see how far they could go?
He carefully analyzed for Qian Qi, "Once the Treatment Potion leaks, all families will keep an eye on you, might even use any means to seize the recipe from you. You, a student, thinking to stay out of such conflicts among big figures, clearly impossible."
"But I can shield you from these dangers and exploitation, be your protector." Wei Bisheng stared deeply at Qian Qi, the scared face showed hints of gentleness, surprisingly trustworthy, "With me, you can fully use your value, and any difficulty I can help you with."
These words sounded very enticing, like saying he, Wei Bisheng, could be her, Qian Qi’s, support.
Qian Qi folded her hands, resting her arms on the table, covering her face.
She seemed seriously considering this offer, her dark eyes filled with seriousness, and Wei Bisheng gave her plenty of thinking time, patiently waiting for her answer.
Until, Qian Qi slightly opened her mouth, "President Wei, I’ll be honest with you."
She sighed deeply, her little rough face looking extremely forlorn, "Actually, this recipe was researched by me and my friend together. Think about it, I’m just a Magic Plant Department student without any Spiritual Skills, how could I independently formulate the recipe? That person is the one who ultimately manufactured the potion, I just contributed funds and some knowledge!"
"This recipe is very complex, and to prevent theft, we each hold half, neither can remember the entire recipe, only together can we make this potion!"
"Of course! I really hope to sell it to you and receive your protection, that would be a divine honor!" Qian Qi slapped the table, incredibly excited, "Let me ask when I get back, as long as he’s willing too, we both will make the Treatment Potion for you!"
Wei Bisheng initially thought Qian Qi led a team, but didn’t expect another core person for the recipe, yet thinking also made sense, how could Qian Qi, without being a Spiritual Awakened, produce a medicine for Spiritual Power Disorder?
Surely, other medical experts in this field assisted for such an achievement; so, indeed, it’s not just Qian Qi he needs to win over.
Wei Bisheng of course very much welcomed talents to join his camp, he stretched out his hand, his aged face showing pre-celebration of successful cooperation, "Great, I’ll wait for your update."
Qian Qi hurriedly shook hands, "Great great, as long as my friend agrees, I definitely also want to make this deal happen!"
After speaking, she changed the tone, her little rough face showing a smile as bright as a chrysanthemum, just like a matchmaker introducing a bride, her eyes curving into crescents, "President Wei, I noticed you often chat until three or four in the morning before sleeping, do you have insomnia?"
Through her long-term observation, in the three-person small group, Wei Bisheng is most active almost every early morning, usually doesn’t sleep more than 4 hours before popping up again; today, seeing Wei Bisheng’s deep black circles confirmed her suspicion.
This guy, definitely has insomnia.
Wei Bisheng didn’t expect Qian Qi to be so observant, he nodded as it wasn’t a secret, "I do tend to have insomnia."
"Oh! Isn’t this great timing!" Qian Qi specially came to meet him today for this matter, she instantly slapped the table, excited and earnest, "Guess what, I recently got a special medicine that aids sleep particularly to solve the issue of fewer sleeping hours due to insomnia! Would you be interested?"
"Oh?" This indeed piqued Wei Bisheng’s interest, as his age showed, though elderly naturally sleep less, prolonged lack of sleep affected his health, "Tell me more."
"This medicine, it’s simple to use, you just lie in bed, a gentle sniff ensures a sound sleep till dawn!" Qian Qi patted her chest, guaranteeing, "For just 38,888, quality sleep is yours instantly!"
Wei Bisheng doesn’t lack money, he lacks sleep; since Qian Qi could create a treatment for Spiritual Power Disorder, making a medicine for insomnia should be easy too, so he believed in the hypnotic medicine’s effect.
To show his "sincerity" in winning over Qian Qi, he immediately said, "Okay, I’ll buy."
Qian Qi quickly added, "But this is consumable, I suggest you~ better buy more!"
"Grab as much as you have..." Wei Bisheng hadn’t finished speaking when Qian Qi gripped his hands tightly, staring excitedly at Wei Bisheng as if seeing a once-in-a-lifetime rich fool, tearfully joyful, "President Wei, so generous! I have a total of 700 bottles! Would you prefer cash or transfer?"
Wei Bisheng: ...
Wei Bisheng: ???
Can I take back what I just said immediately?!
