Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor

The next morning, Qian Xinya arrived at the five-star hotel.

Today she wore a well-tailored white suit, her hair was pulled back, and her makeup was light yet exquisite.

She looked capable and composed, a stark contrast to the worried young lady from the Qian family in the villa last night.

Xia Wantang was clearly taken aback when she opened the door.

Last night, Chu Nan told her that the Qian family might come back today to discuss the business of Nantang Jade Skin Powder.

She thought it would be good enough if the Qian family sent a representative, but she didn't expect it to be Qian Xinya herself.

"Miss Inui has come in person?"

Xia Wantang let the person in, her expression quickly switching from surprise to a professional smile.

Qian Xinya smiled and said, "Of course I will handle Mr. Chu's matter personally."

Xia Wantang had previously worried that the other party was just going through the motions out of respect for Chu Nan and wouldn't actually put in any effort.

After all, Baihua Group is only a small company nationwide, while the Qian family has a lot of high-quality channels.

Why would anyone invest real money in a small, newly established brand like yours?

But now it seems that things are much simpler than I thought.

"Miss Qian, please have a seat. I have prepared the plan. Please take a look."

Xia Wantang pushed the documents over, "You can reconsider the revenue sharing with the channels. If anything is not suitable, we can discuss it further."

Qian Xinya opened the document and read it very carefully.

A few minutes later, she closed the file, looked up, and said calmly, "President Xia, I have no objection to this agreement, but the revenue sharing needs to be changed."

Xia Wantang's eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly, but her smile remained unchanged. "Miss Qian, please speak."

"The Qian family doesn't want to divide the profits."

Upon hearing Qian Xinya's words, Xia Wantang's smile froze for half a second.

"Miss Qian, I don't quite understand what you mean."

"You provide the labor, I provide the product, and we all make money together—that's only fair. If you think 30% isn't enough, we can discuss it further, but no profit sharing. What are you after then?"

Xia Wantang had met all sorts of business partners, but this was the first time she had ever seen one who didn't ask for a share of the profits.

This, in turn, made her instinctively wary.

Something unusual is bound to happen. If the other party isn't after money, then what are they after?

"To repay kindness."

Qian Xinya answered frankly, "Mr. Chu saved my father's life. The Qian family owes him a life, which cannot be repaid with money."

"Therefore, I will do my best to handle the matter of Nantang Jade Skin Powder, but as for the profit, I will not take a single penny."

"Miss Qian, I understand your feelings."

Xia Wantang smiled and said, "But one thing is one thing. Nantang Jade Skin Powder needs to open up the national market, and it can't do without the Qian family's channels. Since it's a cooperation, I really won't feel at ease if you don't take a penny from me."

"How about this, the Qian family takes 10% of the profits? It's not much, but it'll put my mind at ease."

"Need not."

Qian Xinya shook her head. "President Xia, I understand your concerns. You can rest assured that since I promised Mr. Chu, I will do my best to fulfill my promise."

"There is no profit sharing in this agreement, and the Qian family will not do anything else. If Nantang Jade Skin Powder is launched in the future, I only ask for one thing: that the Qian family have priority cooperation rights in the northern market, and that they may become the exclusive partner in the future."

"This right can't be bought with money. Can you trust me when I say that?"

Xia Wantang was taken aback. This condition was indeed business-oriented; they wouldn't take profits, only priority regional cooperation rights.

At first glance, it seems like the Qian family has suffered a loss, but in reality, if Nantang Jade Skin Powder can truly dominate the market, an exclusive cooperation right is more valuable than anything else.

"Miss Qian has excellent taste, but I can't just give away this exclusive right."

Qian Xinya smiled and said, "That's why I said it's just priority, not exclusive."

"Do as she says."

Xia Wantang was a very smart person, and as soon as she heard Chu Nan's words, she knew that there was something else going on.

She didn't ask any further questions at the moment, and turned to Qian Xinya and said, "Okay, let's do as Miss Qian says."

"It's a pleasure working with you."

"It's a pleasure working with you."

The two shook hands, and Qian Xinya stood up to take her leave.

In just twenty minutes, a cooperation agreement covering the entire national market was finalized.

After the door closed, Xia Wantang stuffed the contract into her bag, walked up to Chu Nan, tilted her head and looked at him for two seconds, but didn't ask anything. She just smiled and said, "Little cutie, you've got quite a lot of influence."

Chu Nan didn't respond to that. "Alright, the business is over. According to the plan, we should..."

"Of course we should go out and have some fun!"

Xia Wantang clapped her hands, turned around and pulled Jiang Yingxue, "Come on, our little cutie is ours today. I've saved several restaurants in that old alley in the north of the city in my travel guide, we have to eat our way through them all today!"

The three of them left the hotel and strolled around.

The old streets and alleys in the north of the city do have character, with bluestone pavement, gray brick walls, hanging flower gate towers, and small stalls from the street offices hawking their wares.

Xia Wantang was like a bird released from its cage, wanting to take a look at everything she saw, and pulling Chu Nan along to take pictures and try the food.

Jiang Yingxue was still quiet, but she was obviously much more relaxed. Occasionally, when Xia Wantang teased her, she would blush and pat her.

"I made a reservation in advance at that hot pot restaurant up ahead; this is the perfect time to go."

Xia Wantang glanced at her phone, then pulled Chu Nan and walked deeper into the alley.

Jiang Yingxue caught up, and Xia Wantang reached out to pull her again: "Little Xuexue, if you walk so slowly, there won't be any meat to eat later."

"Let go, I can walk by myself."

Jiang Yingxue tried to shake him off but failed, and was half-dragged and half-pulled into the restaurant by Xia Wantang.

In Beijing's winter, the hot pot restaurants are steaming, the charcoal fire in the copper pots is glowing red, and the tables are set with thinly sliced ​​mutton and a pile of seasonal side dishes.

Xia Wantang used long chopsticks to swirl the meat slices into the pot one by one, then dipped them in sesame sauce, eating with great relish.

Jiang Yingxue still seemed a bit reserved, not as relaxed as Xia Wantang, but judging from her expression, the hot pot suited her taste perfectly.

Chu Nan sat between the two women, calmly serving them meat.

"Sweetie, you need to take us out to eat more often in the future."

Xia Wantang ate to her heart's content, leaning back in her chair to digest. "Life is all about making money so you can eat and drink well."

Jiang Yingxue, unusually, did not refute, but lowered her head to take a small sip of plum juice and softly echoed her sentiment.

After the three finished eating, they strolled around a few more streets.

Xia Wantang completely revealed her true nature and bought a lot of things.

As the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty, this place not only boasts unique local specialties, but also a variety of novelties from different regions.

Although Jiang Yingxue was a little hesitant, she couldn't resist Xia Wantang's enthusiasm.

By the time the three returned to the hotel, it was already completely dark.

Xia Wantang dumped the items onto the coffee table and began to check them one by one.

Jiang Yingxue sat on the sofa and started peeling chestnuts. She didn't eat them after peeling, but neatly arranged them on a tissue.

As for Chu Nan, he was exhausted, not physically, but mentally.

If he could, he would never want to go shopping with those two women again.

Even for a grandmaster, shopping is a torturous experience!
