"I want to pull you in, but that's after the company is established and the product is on the market. That's when Uncle Shen, you can make your grand entrance."
Qiu Xi smiled obediently, but her words held no trace of meekness.
"What? I'm just a companion with a background..."
"If I didn't have this level of skill, I wouldn't have come to you."
"You girl, you really are... a little fox!"
"However, I still need to think carefully about your idea."
Shen Yingjun was also knowledgeable and didn't fall into the trap immediately.
"It's fine, Uncle Shen can think about it carefully. I'm not in a hurry."
In fact, when treating the flower field, Qiu Xi's thoughts were indeed only on the second plan that Shen Yingjun had just mentioned.
After all, at that time, she had nothing but the known reward. Therefore, instead of directly asking for payment for treating the flowers, she sought an opportunity for future cooperation.
But she hadn't expected that this would trigger such a hidden reward.
This also influenced her subsequent choices, leading her to where she was now.
Of course, this was also why she had insisted on waiting for the results before speaking.
After all, they had only discussed the matter of the roses before. To say what she had to say later, she had to show some skill first to negotiate effectively.
"Alright, I'll think about it carefully tonight."
"Then let's continue discussing our previous topic. Are you really planning to let me buy out this formula just like this?"
"Yes, consider it a favor to you, Uncle. For our future cooperation."
"Since you've said so, I, an old man, won't be modest. I'll do as you say."
"However, since it's a buyout, I won't be greedy for the research fees. I'll calculate it according to industry standards."
"Uncle Shen, you really are something!"
Truly, calculating and far-sighted! Everything was clearly and distinctly separated.
If he disagreed later, there would be nothing she could do.
However, Qiu Xi was also very straightforward, "Okay! I'll do as Uncle Shen says."
A business that rushes to be bought isn't a sustainable business.
And she was confident that this matter would be successful!
Even if something unexpected happened and it didn't work out, she would just take a few more detours.
By taking detours, she would always find her way out.
"Alright! You're quite straightforward, girl. I'll draft the contract tomorrow, and then we'll sign it."
Shen Yingjun marveled in his heart.
This girl always surprised him with each meeting, and she was exceptionally capable. At such a young age, she was already like this, destined for great things in the future.
He just hoped his own foolish daughter could learn a lot from her, and he didn't ask for anything else; not being deceived was his highest requirement.
After all, with his family fortune, he only had this one daughter, which was enough.
"Okay~"
Qiu Xi nodded, "Then Uncle Shen, cheers to our cooperation!"
Shen Yingjun smiled comfortably, "Alright! Cheers to our cooperation!"
...
The day after Shen Yingjun and Qiu Xi finalized their arrangements, Qiu Xi signed the contract with Shen Yingjun's company.
Since it was a buyout, and the certificate also indicated that the product was indeed much better than most of the skincare products on the market.
Coupled with the results from personal trials, the buyout price was not low at all.
Along with the additional research fees, Qiu Xi earned a full ninety million yuan from this trip.
Furthermore, before Qiu Xi prepared to leave, Shen Yingjun gave her his answer, agreeing to cooperate with her.
However, contrary to the plan, Shen Yingjun stated that he would not take shares for free; he would invest his own money and requested an increased stake.
Although Qiu Xi inwardly sighed at the cunning old fox, she ultimately agreed to this request, setting his share at 10%.
Thus, the first half of Qiu Xi's summer break task was successfully completed.
As soon as the matter was concluded, Qiu Xi packed her bags and returned to Chongxi City, preparing to undergo intensive training from both her master and Teacher Ding.
Meanwhile, Ding Yibai and Ni Xue remained there.
Ding Yibai was purely engrossed in his research. He had stayed there for nearly a month, and hands-on practice had given him many ideas.
Coupled with the accumulation from working with his mentors, he now had several research directions for his papers. Therefore, he planned to stay and see if he could make any progress.
As for Ni Xue, it was because this was truly a blessed land, very suitable for her.
Furthermore, with Shen Yan, a friend with many common interests who also loved literature, she decided to stay, treating it as a summer vacation.
Therefore, Qiu Xi was the only one who boarded the plane back home.
