Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor

So it turns out you've got your eye on my family's secret medicinal powder.

As Chu Nan suddenly realized this, his mind began to race.

Although he didn't know anything about business, judging from the previous negotiation with Xia Wantang at the bar, she was clearly facing difficulties.

On Xue Beichen's side, the negotiations completely fell apart because of his own actions.

In this situation, the best way to apologize is to hand yourself over to Xue Beichen.

Chu Nan was not naive enough to think that Xia Wantang was an independent woman who had been in the business world for a long time.

Like those love-struck characters in romance novels, they might abandon the company's future simply because they have feelings for someone.

However, Xia Wantang did not do that. Instead, she seriously asked him to discuss business.

If nothing unexpected happens, her family's secret medicinal powder will most likely be able to solve her current predicament.

They say even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, let alone Xia Wantang, who is only facing difficulties and is not dead yet.

Now that Chu Nan has assaulted Zhao Meilan and her son, it's uncertain whether he can continue working as Jiang Yingxue's caregiver, or even keep his job at the community clinic.

He had to find a way to survive in the future, and Xia Wantang's current actions were undoubtedly like offering a pillow to someone who was already sleepy.

But Chu Nan shook his head decisively and said, "I'm sorry, Sister Tang, this medicine powder is the trump card that our Chu family has relied on for generations."

"Perhaps it's a bit of an exaggeration to call it a family heirloom these days, but according to my grandfather's requirements, it really must be passed down from generation to generation."

"Sweetie, you're so naughty! Are you trying to raise the price?"

Xia Wantang crossed her legs and looked at Chu Nan with great interest.

Chu Nan's expression remained unchanged. "Sister Tang, I'm telling the truth. You've seen the effects of this ancestral medicine powder. If it could be exchanged for money, I would have done so long ago. Why wait until now?"

He spoke so sincerely that Xia Wantang almost believed him.

Whether Chu Nan's words were true or not was actually not important to her at all.

"Since this medicine powder is meant to be passed down from your grandfather to you, then from you to your son, and from your son to your grandson, why not..."

Xia Wantang suddenly leaned forward, lowered her voice, and deliberately used a charming tone, "I will marry you and give you a big, fat son, so that the medicine powder will still belong to our Chu family."

"..."

Chu Nan was speechless for a moment.

Xia Wantang perfectly found the loophole in his words.

Moreover, this is indeed a win-win solution.

If... there were no restrictions imposed by the Lotus Mirror.

Seeing Chu Nan's expression, Xia Wantang couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle again, "My little brother Chu, you're as adorable as ever."

"Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you for nothing. Since you don't like a one-time purchase, how about we find another way?"

She said calmly, "I will take care of the entire process from production to marketing, while you only need to contribute the powder formula as equity, and we will split the profits 30/70."

Chu Nan was not at all surprised by Xia Wantang's conditions.

Because before they came in, the other party said they wanted to talk business, not just buy and sell.

A transaction is a one-off deal, but a business is a long-term commitment.

Therefore, the plan that Xia Wantang is presenting now is the one she had prepared long ago.

However, Chu Nan still looked troubled. "Sister Tang, it's not that I don't want to cooperate with you, but my grandfather is still alive. If he finds out, he'll definitely break my legs."

"What if you get four and I get six?"

"It's not about how much to split. To be honest, Sister Tang, I'm just a single dog who only has to worry about myself."

Chu Nan feigned a wry smile, "I don't have a strong desire to get married right now. I don't earn much, but it's definitely enough to get by."

"Splitting it 50/50."

Xia Wantang was no longer joking; she was determined to achieve her goal at all costs.

"It really won't work, Sister Tang. My grandfather's rigid personality means he will absolutely not agree."

"You get six, I get four!"

"Sister Tang, let me be frank with you, this is not something I can decide at all, so please don't make things difficult for me."

"Seven out of three, you get seven, I get three!"

"Sister Tang, look at you, what you're doing..."

Chu Nan put on a conflicted look, "Hey, forget it. Sister Tang, you're so sincere in asking me to talk business. If I don't agree, it would seem like I'm being too heartless."

"Besides, after thinking about it carefully, given our relationship, it's just a leg, so what if it's broken!"

Xia Wantang picked up her beer and took a sip, keeping a smile on her face as she stared at Chu Nan.

It wasn't until Chu Nan felt uncomfortable under her intense gaze and turned his head away that things changed.

She parted her lips slightly and said, "Little cutie, I used to say you were bad just because I thought it was funny to tease you. Now it seems you really aren't a good person."

"Sister Tang, you're joking. How could I be worse than you?"

Chu Nan may not know how to do business, but that doesn't mean he's a fool.

He knew very well that if this ancestral medicinal powder could really be marketed as a product...

Its efficacy is absolutely overwhelming, capable of sweeping across the entire skincare and pharmaceutical industry, and the profits it can generate are absolutely astonishing.

Baibaodan, a century-old brand from the Nanzhao Kingdom, is currently the leading external wound medicine, with a market value of nearly 100 billion yuan.

Compared to the panacea for stopping bleeding and relieving pain, the ancestral medicinal powder in his hand also has the effect of quickly healing wounds and restoring the surface skin to its original state.

Once launched, it will definitely have a larger market than Baibaodan.

After all, stopping bleeding and relieving pain are only the most basic requirements of external wound medicine.

The effects of traditional herbal powders are more in line with people's current desire for beauty.

Leaving aside the scars left by injuries, how many people in today's society have acne scars on their faces?

It might be difficult to compete with established brands like Nanzhao Baibaodan.

However, if they focus on skincare and scar removal, they can definitely capture the market quickly.

Especially Baihua Group, which originally made skincare products, so they have connections in this area.

The fact that this product can remove acne scars and repair other scars is enough to show just how big the market is.

Even if Xia Wantang is only given 30% of the profits, it is still a terrifying figure.

Having spent years working in the skincare industry, Xia Wantang clearly understands the profits involved better than anyone else.

Otherwise, given their shrewdness, they wouldn't have offered such an outrageous profit-sharing arrangement.

The negotiation process between the two seemed playful, and even contained many ambiguous moments.

But in reality, both sides had their own agendas.

Whether it was Chu Nan's seemingly shameless behavior or Xia Wantang's gradual increase in the share of the profits, it all implied a game of strategy.

Xia Wantang's eyes sparkled with flirtatious intent. "Yes, you're bad and I'm bad too. We'd make a perfect couple~"

Chu Nan corrected, "I think 'heroes cherish each other' is more accurate."

"Heroes cherish each other?"

Xia Wantang deliberately bent down, revealing a patch of snow-white skin through her V-neckline. "Not a bad compliment, but as far as I know, there's an old saying... even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman~"
