"Keep talking," Chen Jie said.
Lin Mengjiao continued, "If it's truly that miraculous, we could completely use it to create a medicinal product and push it onto the market. This way, it would surely become a sensation."
"We can register a pharmaceutical company and launch our medicine into the market."
Lin Mengjiao went on, "Not long ago, I also heard about a traditional Chinese medicine called Pian Zai Huang, which sells for thousands of yuan per capsule. Our medicine would surely be even more precious, wouldn't it? Selling one capsule for ten thousand yuan should not be a problem."
Chen Jie stood up and looked at the pot of spiritual liquid.
If it were only used to recharge his protective artifacts, it would never be depleted.
Lin Mengjiao's suggestion was entirely feasible.
"You make a lot of sense. I never thought of it. If it truly succeeds, it might be more profitable than printing money," Chen Jie remarked.
He was in dire need of a large sum of money right now, to cancel his engagement.
While selling protective artifacts brought in money quickly, it might not even earn him forty billion within a year.
Furthermore, he still had seven other fiancées who had not yet appeared, and he might require even more money then.
Therefore, Chen Jie did not want to miss this opportunity.
"When we return from Wutai Mountain, you will handle it," Chen Jie decided.
"Ah, Master, business is too troublesome. I still need to cultivate with you," Lin Mengjiao demurred.
Chen Jie calmed down. Entrusting Lin Mengjiao with business operations would indeed be an underutilization of her talents.
"We'll make further plans after we return," Chen Jie said.
At that moment, the doorbell rang.
Lin Mengjiao opened the door to find He Yufei dragging a suitcase and carrying a backpack, walking into the villa.
He Yufei gazed at the villa's courtyard with immense shock.
She knew Chen Jie owned a luxury car, but she had no idea he lived in a mansion.
Seeing Chen Jie's residence at this moment, a sense of inferiority welled up within her.
Compared to Chen Jie's abode, her own home was practically a dog kennel.
"He Yufei, you arrived so quickly," Chen Jie stood up and said.
"Chen Jie, you..."
He Yufei looked at Chen Jie, and her body trembled.
Her face suddenly flushed red, and her small mouth parted.
Unbidden thoughts began to surface in her mind.
"Chen Jie..." He Yufei could no longer hold back. She rushed towards Chen Jie, impulsively reaching for his hand.
*Swish!*
Lin Mengjiao's gaze turned cold, and she blocked He Yufei.
"You, please move aside!" He Yufei anxiously turned her head, her eyes fixed directly on Chen Jie.
*This is bad!*
Chen Jie suddenly remembered the side effect of his recent upgrade.
He quickly turned away, preventing He Yufei from seeing his face.
Instantly, He Yufei's mind cleared. However, Chen Jie's astonishing aura was deeply imprinted in her mind, refusing to fade.
She knew she could never forget Chen Jie's perfect figure. She would likely dream of him.
Then, regaining her composure, she apologized to Chen Jie with a hint of guilt, "Chen Jie, I'm so sorry. I... I don't know what happened just now. I suddenly lost my composure."
"He Yufei, it's not your fault. Don't dwell on it, and there's no need to overthink it."
Chen Jie then said to Lin Mengjiao, "Go and get two pairs of sunglasses."
Lin Mengjiao's face was grim, and her gaze towards He Yufei was filled with displeasure.
She then vanished and reappeared moments later, wearing a pair of sunglasses and handing another pair to Chen Jie.
He Yufei's heart ached bitterly, thinking, *Don't overthink it? How could I not overthink it?*
She had never seen such a perfect man before. It was as if she had been poisoned, and certain desires grew wildly within her. At that moment, if she could win Chen Jie's favor, she would readily agree, even if it meant being severely humiliated.
"We can depart now," Chen Jie announced.
"Master, I'll drive," Lin Mengjiao offered.
He Yufei reluctantly composed herself, but standing next to Chen Jie, she felt a constant sense of unease.
She felt an irresistible urge to converse freely with Chen Jie.
He Yufei looked around and asked, "Chen Jie, is this where you live?"
"Yes," Chen Jie replied.
A trace of loneliness flickered across He Yufei's face.
Then, she followed Chen Jie out.
"Open the trunk, I'll put my luggage in," He Yufei pointed at the G-wagon parked outside.
Chen Jie chuckled, "We're taking a different car today."
"Ah? Chen Jie, you have another car?" He Yufei was taken aback.
"Yes, why?" Chen Jie inquired.
"No, nothing really. It's just that people like us can barely afford an inexpensive car, yet you own several luxury vehicles..."
"But it's true. You're so capable, Chen Jie, it's normal to have two cars," He Yufei said with a hint of bitterness.
In the distance, an RV drove over. Lin Mengjiao was at the wheel, steering it to a stop beside Chen Jie.
"Get in, Master!" Lin Mengjiao said, wearing sunglasses.
"Let's get in," Chen Jie said to He Yufei.
"This... is this a truck?" He Yufei hesitated.
"This is an RV," Chen Jie explained. "It's like a mobile house. In short, you'll know once you get in and see."
Chen Jie got into the RV first.
Inside, a U-shaped sofa was arranged around the cabin.
In the rear, there was a double bed.
A kitchenette, refrigerator, and bathroom were all fully equipped.
A row of cabinets was stocked with various wines and food.
These were all prepared by Lin Mengjiao.
He Yufei was once again utterly astonished.
"There's... there's such a thing as a car..." she could only exclaim, poverty truly limiting her imagination.
The RV slowly started and began to head towards the provincial capital.
"It might get a bit boring on the road. If you feel tired, you can sleep in the car," Chen Jie said.
He Yufei lowered her head and stole a glance at Chen Jie. "I'm not tired, I'm fine sitting here."
"Alright then. I happen to have something to discuss with you."
Chen Jie stood up, opened a bottle of red wine, and poured a glass for each of them.
He Yufei looked down at her glass and couldn't help but click her tongue.
Lafite, 1982 vintage.
"He Yufei, I'm planning to register a company soon, but I don't have anyone trustworthy to work for me..." Chen Jie began.
After getting into the RV, Chen Jie had been contemplating the establishment of a pharmaceutical company. Upon seeing He Yufei, it suddenly occurred to him that since neither he nor Lin Mengjiao were in a convenient position to manage a company, perhaps He Yufei could be invited.
"This... you want me to work for you?" He Yufei blurted out.
"Exactly. I'm planning to start a pharmaceutical company, and I want you to manage it for me," Chen Jie said.
"I'm willing!" He Yufei immediately replied.
"I haven't even told you the other terms yet, and you've agreed so readily?" Chen Jie asked, surprised.
He Yufei said earnestly, "If not for you, my mother might not have made it. Now, she's healthier than anyone. You saved her life! Even if you didn't pay me a single cent, I would gladly help you!"
Chen Jie smiled. "Naturally, I won't let you work for me for free. Here, give me your phone."
He Yufei handed over her phone without any hesitation.
Chen Jie opened an app and scanned it with his phone.
When He Yufei took her phone back, she froze.
Her account balance had suddenly increased by one hundred thousand yuan.
