"Is that so? Then I really have to congratulate you, Boss Lady." Qin Xue also shot a glance at Chu Molin. Was she overthinking it?
"Don’t call Boss Lady. My na is Su Han. I do look a bit older than you—why don’t you call Han-jie, or Hanhan?" Of course Su Han knew which of the two of them was older.
It was just that if she said it outright and they started asking how she knew, she wouldn’t be able to answer, so she only kept it vague.
"That wouldn’t be too appropriate. I’d better call you Ms. Su. After all, you’re the owner of a shop, and we’re just ordinary folks—the gap is pretty big." Qin Xue had no intention of getting that chummy with her.
They’d only t a few tis, and she was supposed to call her "jie"? That felt way too intimate; the words just wouldn’t co out.
If it were sothing else, maybe she wouldn’t think this way, but the feeling Su Han gave her was just too weird, so she didn’t want to.
"Suit yourself, call whatever you like, it’s just a form of address anyway." Hearing her refusal, Su Han didn’t press the issue. They could revisit it later.
"Exactly, just a form of address. Ms. Su, you really don’t need to get hung up on it." Of course Qin Xue understood what she ant; precisely because she did, she didn’t want to go along.
"If it were soone else and they heard say that, their reaction would be completely different from yours. I really don’t know what goes on in your head. Are you that scared of being associated with ?" Su Han chuckled. An old friend, yet now so distant—what a joke, really.
She could even be friends with Qin Su’e; she was definitely better than that woman by a long shot.
Anyway, since Qin Xue was unwilling right now, she wouldn’t force her. Just let things take their course.
"That’s not it. It’s just that I’m soone who wants to rely on herself, that’s all. Did you buy good wine here? Thank you so much for coming to support the business. This way my parents can earn a bit more commission. The owner should really thank such a beautiful lady boss for gracing his shop." If Qin Xue said anything else, Su Han might misunderstand. But phrased this way, there was nothing to misinterpret, so she wasn’t afraid of Su Han overthinking it.
"Haha, funny you say that. At first I actually thought this was Uncle and Auntie’s shop and was planning to work with them. But Uncle said it didn’t belong to your family, so there was nothing I could do. I could only regret it. Such a good potential partner, and no chance to work together—my heart aches." Su Han joked half in earnest.
"I think it’s the owner who should be heartbroken. A beautiful lady boss like you cos looking to cooperate and he fails to appreciate it. It’s obvious who should really be in pain." If Qin Xue hadn’t seen that probing look in Su Han’s eyes and those unfathomable expressions, she might have worked with her. Unfortunately, fate just loved to ss with people.
She’d rather miss out on this money-making opportunity than lead a wolf into her ho. That was just who she was.
Qin Xue gave up on this cooperation because of Su Han, and she didn’t regret it. If she wanted to scale up, she could have, but she didn’t want to be too high-profile. So as for going big, she’d rather leave that to Chu Molin, while she stayed in the background. What she already had was enough for her to squander.
Worst case, she’d just make so other pills in the future and sell those. She’d register a shop then, specializing in pills.
With her and Xue Ling around, what did she have to worry about? Call it willful, call it naive—either way, that was how she saw it.
No matter what happened in the future, as long as her space existed, she’d be the richest person in the world.
Qin Xue wasn’t exaggerating; with her abilities and everything in the space, building an empire really was incredibly easy.
