Chapter 969 - Women Make Money for Beauty! (1/2)

“Who is the old master?” While handing over the sheepskin scroll to Fang Qiu, the old man asked casually with a smile.

“What old master?” Fang Qiu took over the scroll, looked at the old man with a puzzled face, and pretended that he didn’t understand what he was saying at all.

“Haha,” The old man laughed heartily.

He was aware that John Doe didn’t want to answer.

However, he couldn’t force John Doe to answer. If they confronted each other like this, both of them would inevitably be embarrassed. Hence, he could only laugh off.

The old man changed the subject. “This guru sword is indeed remarkable. I can take it back to my little grandson.”

“You start to train him since he’s a child. You’re truly far-sighted, Senior.”

Fang Qiu gave a thumbs-up and exclaimed.

“Even if he has been training since he’s a kid, he may not catch up with you.” The old man shook his head and sighed with emotion.

Fang Qiu smiled.

He put away the sheepskin scroll, held a fist salute to the old man, and said, “Senior, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.”

“Okay.” The old man nodded and said, “Please.”

After saying that, he personally walked John Doe to the gate of the CCP Hotel.

Soon, the manager of the hotel and the person in charge of the auction house also came.

They watched Fang Qiu leave.

The old man held the wooden box containing Guru Sword in one hand and said to the two people next to him, “Remember, be polite to John Doe in the future. Don’t provoke him if you don’t have to. This person’s potential is enormous. He will definitely surpass me.”

What!

Hearing this, the faces of the restaurant’s manager and the head of the auction house changed dramatically in an instant.

This old man was the guardian of their auction house and most of the people in Wulin looked up to him. It was because of him that no one in Wulin dared to cause trouble in Chic Cloud Pavilion.

With such huge deterrence, it could be seen that the old man’s strength must be formidable.

However, the old man said that John Doe would definitely surpass him in the future!

If that was true, it was certain that they couldn’t provoke John Doe.

While they were shocked, what the old man said was engraved on their hearts. They regarded John Doe as a key figure in their hearts. No matter what happened in the future, they must not provoke such a man with terrifying potential. If there was a chance, they must try their best to draw him over to their side!

After he left the Chic Cloud Pavilion, Fang Qiu opened the sheepskin scroll and took a look on the road.

He found that the information recorded on the scroll was more detailed than what he got from the previous auction.

“Qinxi, Mount Hua?” Taking a closer look at the information and map recorded on the sheepskin scroll, Fang Qiu found that the Heaven Treasure recorded on it was actually in Mount Hua.

“According to the information recorded, it will take another three days for it to mature.”

After reading it, Fang Qiu counted the time, nodded gently, and bought a plane ticket to Beijiang with his phone. He planned to go back to the cultivation base first to see how everyone was doing.

Two hours later, Fang Qiu returned to the cultivation base.

“Eh?” Seeing Fang Qiu come back, He Xue was stunned. She immediately followed Fang Qiu to the office and asked, “What a surprise that you come back so soon.”

“I come back to see how your preparations are going,” replied Fang Qiu.

“Everything is ready.” As soon as they talked about work, He Xue immediately became serious and said, “We’re about to start production and the pre-order plan will be announced two days later. The pre-order will officially start in five days.”

Fang Qiu nodded with satisfaction and asked, “Quite fast. Did you set the price?”

He Xue nodded and said, “It’s settled. According to the data given by Mr. Zhao Shanlin and the data provided by the employees of Hua Yuan Pharmaceutical Corporation, we finally set the price of every box of Holy Flowers Formula to be 1,500.”

“Is it that expensive?” Hearing this price, Fang Qiu couldn’t help but be amazed.

This price was 50% higher than that of the Trillium Root-Securing Pill.

One box of Trillium Root-Securing Pill was only sold at 1,000 yuan.

“Isn’t the price too high? Will anyone buy it?” Fang Qiu couldn’t help asking.

“Tut-tut.” He Xue glanced at Fang Qiu scornfully and said, “How can anyone think the things they sell are expensive? And you’re looking down on the women of this era. Even if it costs 3,000yuan, people will still buy it, let alone only 1,500yuan. This price is far less than that of a big-name bag.”

“Women are so fierce now?” Fang Qiu was taken aback, for he never expected that women’s purchasing power would be so high now.

He Xue asked, “Why do women make money?”

“I don’t know.” Fang Qiu shook his head.

“The purpose of women making money is for beauty!” He Xue knocked on the desk as she said, “The purpose of men making money is to make women beautiful! Do you understand?”

Fang Qiu gave a wry smile and muttered, “Well… Doesn’t a man make money to contribute to society?”

Hearing Fang Qiu’s muttering, He Xue once again gave Fang Qiu a scornful look and said, “This is modern society. In this day and age, everyone is thinking of themselves. If you become rich, it’ll be considered making contributions to society. How can you be so old-fashioned? You’re such a male chauvinist!”

Fang Qiu gave a wry smile.

If she thought he was, he got nothing to say.
