Chapter 495 Small Profits, Thin Margins
"You?"
Wei Linlin's eyes widened as she looked at Chen Xuan.
She clearly had doubts about Chen Xuan's connections.
Chen Xuan smiled slightly and nodded solemnly, "Of course it's me."
"Alright, I'll be waiting for you," Wei Linlin stifled a laugh and went to the study to play on the computer.
"Yunxi, with the Wei family's strength, getting two fan meeting tickets shouldn't be difficult, right?" Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow, looking at Su Yunxi.
Su Yunxi explained, "Naturally. Although the Wei family's reputation isn't prominent, their strength is considerable. It's just that Uncle Wei strongly dislikes Wei Linlin chasing stars and always makes Wei Linlin focus entirely on her studies. Others, out of fear of Uncle Wei's authority, wouldn't dare to help Wei Linlin with such matters."
"So that's how it is." Chen Xuan could understand.
Most parents are quite resistant to their children chasing stars.
Su Yunxi frowned and scrutinized Chen Xuan, asking suspiciously, "By the way, Chen Xuan, how are you going to get fan meeting tickets from the big star He Qionshi? I just asked someone, and those fan meeting tickets are very hard to get."
"He Qionshi owes me a favor," Chen Xuan said with a smile.
Su Yunxi: "..."
Why don't you say the Provincial Governor also owes you a favor?
Just as Chen Xuan was about to get up, Wei Linlin came back, giggling, "Chen Xuan, I've already told my two best friends that we'll all go to He Qionshi's fan meeting together. Don't forget, remember you must get three fan meeting tickets."
"Okay, okay, okay, I got it!" Chen Xuan nodded impatiently.
In the afternoon, Su Yunxi and Wei Linlin went to the supermarket, while Chen Xuan received more good news from Huo Yuhao: Huo's Cosmetics products won another award abroad, and Huo's Cosmetics orders exploded again.
Just one minute ago, Huo Yuhao received orders worth over twenty million yuan.
Chen Xuan was also overjoyed.
Now, it seemed that even a star of He Qionshi's caliber would have to take Huo's Cosmetics seriously.
Chen Xuan watched television for a while, feeling bored. He got up, put on his jacket, and walked out of the villa. Just as he was about to leave, a tall figure walked towards him.
She was wearing a black down jacket, a mask, and a hat, completely wrapped up.
The only visible parts were her large eyes, which stared at Chen Xuan with a hint of grievance.
"Chen Xuan, I went to Jiangzhou, and the people in Jiangzhou said you came to the provincial capital. I went to the provincial capital, and the people there told me you went to Jiangzhou again. I went to Jiangzhou again, and the people in Jiangzhou told you went to the provincial capital!"
"Are you playing keep-away with me?"
As she approached, she pointed at Chen Xuan's nose and complained in annoyance.
Chen Xuan truly didn't recognize the woman in front of him and looked bewildered, "Who are you?"
The woman in the black down jacket took a breath, seemingly controlling her emotions. She reached up and took off the large mask from her face, revealing a delicate face.
It was none other than the big star He Qionshi!
"Oh, it's you."
Chen Xuan's gaze sharpened.
No wonder this person was so heavily bundled up; it was the big star He Qionshi.
"Why don't you invite me inside to sit for a while?"
He Qionshi was shivering from the cold, her body trembling. Yet, the man stood at the door without any reaction, his gaze filled with more grievance.
Chen Xuan calmly extended his hand, "Then come in."
"You..."
He Qionshi rolled her eyes.
Regardless, she was a top-tier celebrity. Wherever she went, she was never short of fans, and was always treated as an honored guest. Yet, when it came to Chen Xuan, even inviting her to sit inside seemed like a chore.
However, He Qionshi still stepped in with her sexy high heels, carrying her bag, and indignantly walked into the villa.
Upon entering the living room, He Qionshi didn't stand on ceremony and plopped herself onto the sofa.
"The three months are up. I've come to collect the pills," He Qionshi said to Chen Xuan.
"No problem. Ten billion. Cash on delivery," Chen Xuan said with a smile.
He Qionshi's lips twitched, but she still took out a bank card from her bag. "There are eight hundred million here. The password is six eights. The remaining two hundred million will be on credit, and I'll give it to you together next time."
After speaking, she glanced at Chen Xuan.
"Sorry, it's small profits, thin margins, no credit allowed," Chen Xuan said with a smile.
Ten billion for medicine was still considered small profits and thin margins?
He Qionshi felt an urge to explode.
She took a deep breath, after all, her grandmother's life depended on Chen Xuan's medicine.
"Hey, hey, you're a doctor too. Can you at least have some medical ethics? Regardless, I've already paid several hundred million. Can't you not be so money-grubbing? I'm just owing you for two months?" He Qionshi exclaimed, bursting with resentment.
"Cash on delivery. If you don't have the money, then we have nothing to discuss."
Chen Xuan clasped his hands behind his back and smiled, showing no intention of allowing He Qionshi to owe him any money.
Seeing that Chen Xuan had no intention of backing down, He Qionshi had no choice but to make a phone call and borrow two hundred million to scrape together the ten billion.
"Here!"
He Qionshi finally gathered the money. "Where's the medicine?"
Chen Xuan took out paper and a pen, wrote a prescription, and handed it to He Qionshi. He also broke off a root from the sacred medicine that increased lifespan that he had treasured and placed it in a jade box, handing it to He Qionshi.
"Follow the prescription to get the herbs from the pharmacy, add this, and then boil it into a medicinal soup," Chen Xuan said calmly.
This prescription was merely a diversion. The real ingredient was the root of the sacred medicine. Although it was just a root, it was the root of a sacred medicine, rare and elusive.
He Qionshi looked at the familiar medicinal ingredients on the prescription and a root that looked like it was broken off from a radish. The man in front of her kept talking about small profits and thin margins, and her beautiful eyes were practically spitting fire.
If she weren't absolutely certain that Chen Xuan could save her grandmother, He Qionshi's first action would have been to report Chen Xuan to the Consumer Association for fraud.
However, whether the Consumer Association would dare to take the case was another matter entirely.
"Goodbye, never to see you again!"
Holding the items, He Qionshi strode out with her long legs and turned to leave.
But she was stopped by Chen Xuan's call: "Wait."
"What else is there?" He Qionshi turned around impatiently.
She didn't want to look at Chen Xuan right now; looking at him any longer made her angry.
"Oh, right, I heard you're holding a fan meeting in the provincial capital. Can you get three tickets for the fan meeting?" Chen Xuan asked calmly.
"You're my fan too? Are you captivated by my charm?"
He Qionshi was slightly taken aback, then her eyes lit up, and she snorted coquettishly.
Her gaze held a sense of vindication.
Chen Xuan didn't know where He Qionshi's confidence came from. He Qionshi was undoubtedly outstanding in terms of looks and figure, but compared to Su Yunxi, there was still a gap.
He had to say, "My friend wants them."
He Qionshi's bright eyes rolled, and a smile curved her lips as she said softly, "It's said that my fan meeting tickets are very popular and have long been sold out, even on the black market. How about this, I won't rip you off. One hundred million each. You transfer three hundred million to me, and I'll have someone send them over immediately."
After speaking, He Qionshi's pretty face was filled with a triumphant smile.
Clearly, she was imitating Chen Xuan, giving back everything Chen Xuan had just said.
She narrowed her eyes, staring at Chen Xuan, waiting to see him fly into a rage, which would mean her objective was achieved.
However, Chen Xuan's face remained as calm as ever, which displeased He Qionshi. It was like hitting cotton with a punch.
Chen Xuan smiled faintly, "I was planning to have you be the image ambassador for Huo's Cosmetics. Judging by your attitude, you're probably not interested anymore."
Huo's Cosmetics!
The four words struck He Qionshi's heart like a thunderclap, and her heart began to pound.
