"Sorry, I only have this one bottle right now, and crafting the elixir is very ti-consuming. Most importantly, the ingredients are particularly hard to find, so I might not be able to provide a second bottle in the short term," Hao Jian politely said, his implication being that he wouldn't give any more.
But the won, hearing this, were not ready to give up. They continued to ask, "When can you supply the second bottle then? Can I give you a deposit to reserve it?"
"I'll pay full price, it doesn't matter if it's a smaller amount!"
"Hao Jian, if you give a bottle of elixir, I will keep buying it at a high price. I'll even be yours."
The won had gone mad; who didn't want to be beautiful? They spent so much money going to beauty salons, all in the pursuit of eternal youth, didn't they?
Now that they heard Hao Jian had such a good item, they were naturally tempted.
Initially, they thought Hao Jian was just a friend who was a doctor, so they didn't take him seriously. However, after learning about his real identity from Gu Qingcheng, they couldn't control themselves.
As Liang Wangsun's disciple, Hao Jian's dical skills were undoubtedly exceptional, and with his reputation known far and wide, they believed that he wouldn't deceive them.
"It's really not about the money, but the ingredients are hard to find," Hao Jian said helplessly. He hadn't expected these won to be so persistent. Was he being too indirect?
In fact, he had underestimated how much won valued their own beauty.
"What ingredients? Write them down for , and I'll go find them for you. Just craft it for when the ti cos, sa price, I'll cover the cost of the ingredients!" Seeing this, one woman imdiately changed her approach and said.
"This... let's eat first, and then we can talk about it after dinner," Hao Jian tried to change the subject.
"Eat? No way, you're not allowed to eat until you've made this clear!" Noticing Hao Jian was evading the issue, the won were not prepared to let him off so easily.
"Hold on, Demon Gu, what are you doing?" At that mont, soone noticed Gu Qingcheng's subtle action and imdiately yelled.
Gu Qingcheng's lips twitched, and she retorted, "I'm eating my own elixir, what's it to you?"
"Shaless! This is a blatant seduction! You're showing off!" The won went mad with rage. It was okay to eat, but why did she have to eat in front of them, not knowing how desperately they wanted it?
"You can eat, but can you stop smacking your lips?" One woman said through gritted teeth, fiercely angry. The lip-smacking was as if she was flaunting sothing they lacked.
"Ouch, it's so hot!" After a while, Gu Qingcheng suddenly started fanning herself.
"That's because the elixir is taking effect, and you should get ready for detoxification," Hao Jian explained with a smile.
"Didn't you say it takes ten minutes to work?" Gu Qingcheng asked curiously.
"That varies from person to person. So, like you, are more sensitive and can feel the effect within a minute."
"What will happen next as I detox?" Gu Qingcheng's eyes, full of curiosity, were fixed on Hao Jian.
Hearing this, Hao Jian revealed a aningful smile, "I think you should hurry to the restroom to avoid any embarrassnt later."
But it was already too late.
"My God, why does it sll so bad? What is that odor?" soone exclaid.
"It's Demon Gu, look at her!" Everyone turned to Gu Qingcheng and saw that she was sweating profusely, the sweat mingled with greasy sars, making it look sticky.
As Gu Qingcheng wiped her face, it turned green, realizing that detoxification had begun.
"Well, I need to use the restroom!" Qingcheng said with an embarrassed expression, then hurriedly rushed toward Hao Jian.
She could hardly bear her own stench.
anwhile, the won who saw Gu Qingcheng like this did not show the slightest disgust; instead, they were even envious. Sweaty and slly ant Gu Qingcheng was detoxifying, indicating that Hao Jian's elixir was effective.
"Hao Jian..." All the won cast reproachful glances at Hao Jian, who quickly lowered his head, pretending to be oblivious.
By now, Luo Ruihe didn't dare to speak, as he realized all the won were bewitched by Hao Jian. If he dared to contend with Hao Jian at this point, he might well be attacked by the group.
Not long after, Gu Qingcheng returned, now dressed in clean clothes.
The process of detoxification was indeed embarrassingly revealing. Her skin had exuded black sweat, full of vile-slling toxins. Not only that, but once she had entered the restroom, she kept releasing foul gases, expelling toxic substances from her body.
After half an hour of this ordeal, the detoxification was finally complete.
Now, Gu Qingcheng's cheeks were rosy, and her skin glead more than before. It shone under the light, clearly visible to all, and the sight made the many won present drool with envy.
"My heavens, Demon Gu, where are your crow's feet?"
"I don't know."
"Demon Gu, how did your skin suddenly beco so much whiter and firr?"
"Don't know."
"Demon Gu, you bastard!"
"...."
"Hao Jian, just help make another bottle, please!" A girl grabbed Hao Jian's hand and shook it vigorously, "If you give one, I'll let you do whatever you want with ."
"Hao Jian, I want one too."
A bunch of won surrounded Hao Jian, grabbing his hands, hugging and kissing him.
"Hehe... hehehehe..." Hao Jian laughed like Pig Head Three, drooling uncontrollably.
"Geez, what a perv!" Watching Hao Jian act like that, Su Xinya couldn't help feeling sowhat angry.
"What's the matter, did you think you were bringing a sheep into a pack of wolves, only to find you'd brought in a starving tiger?" Gu Qingcheng teased with a smile.
"If I'd known he was such a lecher, I wouldn't have brought him here!" Su Xinya said resentfully, deeply disappointed in her friends. She had hoped her friends would stand up for her, but now they had all sided with Hao Jian.
"Alright, alright, can't do anything about you all. I'll write you a list later, and you go find the ingredients for . Once I have the ingredients, I'll start making the elixir for you," Hao Jian finally surrendered to the onslaught of the beauties.
"Yay, Hao Jian, I love you to death!" A woman planted a kiss on Hao Jian's face, leaving a bright red lipstick mark.
"Ahem, got a bit thirsty," Hao Jian pretended to say.
"Here, Your Majesty, this is your tea!" Another woman quickly handed him a cup of hot tea.
"Shoulders are feeling a bit sore too," Hao Jian rubbed his shoulders, feigning exhaustion.
"Your Majesty, let give you a massage," a woman ca up to pound Hao Jian's legs.
"Is he an idiot?" Hao Jian asked, pointing at Luo Ruihe.
"That's right, he's an idiot!" the won cried in unison, at this point whatever Hao Jian said was law.
Luo Ruihe's face twisted with rage, looking almost cannibalistic, teeth nearly crushing together.
"Sigh, getting hungry," Hao Jian rubbed his stomach and said.
"Waiter? Where the hell are you, hurry up and serve the food!"
Watching this scene, Gu Qingcheng and Su Xinya could only exchange wry smiles and remained speechless.
Soon after, Hao Jian began to wolf down the food as soon as it arrived.
The won were sotis putting food in Hao Jian's bowl, those who usually behaved like queens, had suddenly beco demure housewives.
Luo Ruihe ate quietly, no longer daring to say another word, knowing he had lost his right to speak.
Just then, a man walked in through the door, glanced around, then his eyes settled on Su Xinya, and he broke into a smile, "Miss Su, I knew you'd be here."
"May I ask who you are..." Su Xinya looked at the man with so confusion, as she didn't recognize him.
"I'm Yang Zhuoxiong, secretary to Boss Wei Guolin, I think you shouldn't be a stranger to Boss Wei?" Yang Zhuoxiong said with a smile.
"Oh, so you're Boss Wei's secretary. What can I do for you?" Su Xinya asked, puzzled. She certainly knew Wei Guolin, an advertiser from Taiwan who had hired her for a comrcial.
However, what Su Xinya found strange was that the cooperation with Wei Guolin had ended, so why was Wei Guolin looking for her?
"Well, our boss happens to be here with so friends, and he saw you were also here, so he thought to invite you over for a drink and catch up," Yang Zhuoxiong said politely.
But as Yang Zhuoxiong finished speaking, Gu Qingcheng and the others frowned at the sa ti.
Boss Wei's invitation was inappropriate. If Wei Guolin truly wished to have a aningful conversation with Su Xinya, he should have co over to offer her a drink himself, not ask Su Xinya to join them.
It was clear that Wei Guolin was expecting Su Xinya to join them for drinks, or he would not have sent Yang Zhuoxiong to invite her over instead of coming himself to extend his hospitality.
Su Xinya was also very angry about this. Although she was a perforr, she never wanted to ingratiate herself with those in power. The current achievents she had were all because of her own efforts, without relying on anyone else's influence.
Wei Guolin might lack respect, but he had no right to insult her, especially since their business cooperation had ended. What right did Wei Guolin have to demand such a thing from her?
Suddenly, Su Xinya said with a cold face, "No need, go back and tell Wei Guolin that I have friends here, and I can't leave."
At this point, Su Xinya started to call Wei Guolin by his na, since Wei Guolin hadn't treated her seriously, she naturally wouldn't give face to Wei Guolin either.
