A short while later, outside the gates of Kyoto Vocational University, beneath a plane tree.
Jin Congxue wore a coffee-colored woolen trench coat and looked at Su Xing with smiling eyes.
"What good thing do you have for me?"
Su Xing chuckled and first handed Jin Congxue the twenty jin of spirit rice he had prepared in advance. Then he took out a Beauty Pill and handed it to her.
"This is good stuff. Give it a try!"
Because he had simulated this in advance, Su Xing trusted Jin Congxue quite a bit.
Jin Congxue accepted the Beauty Pill and examined it carefully for a moment.
The pill was crystal-clear in her hand. When she held it close to her nose and sniffed, it carried a faint herbal fragrance.
Holding the pill, Jin Congxue gave Su Xing a suspicious look and joked half-seriously.
"You aren't planning to do something bad to me... and drug me, are you?"
Su Xing raised a brow and smiled as well.
"Oh? Then I wonder if you, Jin Congxue, dare to eat it. Aren't you afraid I'll do something bad to you?"
Jin Congxue burst into laughter, swallowed the Beauty Pill, and looked at Su Xing provocatively.
Her charming expression was utterly seductive, making heat surge in Su Xing's lower abdomen.
The pill dissolved as soon as it entered her body. Jin Congxue let out a soft sound of surprise, then carefully sensed the changes in her condition.
A fine layer of grime unexpectedly appeared on Jin Congxue's fair skin. Startled, she hurriedly took a small mirror from her bag and examined her face.
After studying herself for a while, Jin Congxue froze and asked in disbelief.
"Su Xing, how did you do this? The fine lines on my face have all vanished! My skin feels at least three or four years younger!"
Su Xing smiled faintly. Jin Congxue was not yet thirty, but she took excellent care of herself, so her skin had previously looked about twenty-three or twenty-four.
But after taking Su Xing's Beauty Pill, her skin now looked directly around twenty years old!
Su Xing pointed at the Beauty Pill in his hand and said.
"What do you think? This is a new pill I developed... the Rich Lady Happy Pill!"
"Rich Lady Happy Pill..." Jin Congxue's pretty face flushed slightly as she said in a coquettish voice.
"That doesn't sound like a proper name at all!"
Su Xing chuckled.
"Who cares whether the name is proper? Just tell me, are you happy after taking it?"
Jin Congxue instinctively nodded. Women cared especially about their looks, particularly beautiful women.
Su Xing continued.
"This Rich Lady Happy Pill can restore a person's youth. One pill lasts for around a month, and its effects gradually fade afterward... Roughly speaking, it can make a thirty-year-old woman look twenty, or a forty-year-old woman look thirty!"
Jin Congxue nodded. Judging by the current state of her skin, it truly matched Su Xing's description. She asked.
"So, what do you mean?"
Su Xing took a bottle of Beauty Pills from his pocket and said.
"I have fifty Rich Lady Happy Pills here. I hope you can help me sell them!"
Jin Congxue paused, then said in shock.
"Such precious pills, and you're sure you want to sell them? Did you really develop these pills yourself?"
Su Xing nodded.
"That's right. I can provide at least fifty Rich Lady Happy Pills every month. I hope to establish a long-term partnership with your Jin Clan Merchant Group!"
Jin Congxue's expression changed slightly. As the daughter of a merchant family, she had already recognized the tremendous business opportunity hidden within this.
Jin Congxue said excitedly to Su Xing.
"We need to discuss this in detail! My Jin Clan Merchant Group has a villa not far from Kyoto Vocational University. Let's talk there!"
Su Xing nodded. From Jin Congxue's reaction, these Beauty Pills seemed to be extremely important.
Jin Congxue took out her phone, made a call, and said a few words. Before long, a black Rolls-Royce drove over, drawing cries of surprise from the surrounding students.
Su Xing quickly got into the car. After a ten-minute drive, the two arrived at a villa.
Three or four middle-aged men were already waiting inside.
Jin Congxue introduced them.
"Su Xing, this Beauty Pill is no ordinary item. Its value is too great... According to the rules of my Jin Clan Merchant Group, appraisers must jointly determine its value. You don't mind, do you?"
Su Xing shook his head. He and Jin Congxue were friends, true enough, but business was business, and everything naturally had to be made clear.
Soon, several appraisers took out specialized tools and began appraising the Beauty Pills.
In this world, there was a lifestyle profession known as appraisers. Most of them worked for certain organizations, like the appraisers before them.
After observing the pills carefully for more than ten minutes, one appraiser said in amazement.
"This pill is indeed harmless to the human body. Through a unique energy, it can temporarily slow aging and even restore youth!"
The appraisers discussed it among themselves, then unanimously said.
"After deliberation, we believe each pill should be valued at around one million Great Xia Coin. Although the pill is miraculous, it can only last for one month and requires long-term use... If the price is too high, there may not be a market for it."
After saying that, the appraisers looked toward Su Xing, intending to ask whether he accepted the price.
Just as Su Xing was about to nod, Jin Congxue interrupted from the side.
"Masters, while you have discussed the practical value of this pill... you have ignored the commercial value behind it!"
The appraisers frowned slightly at this, but Jin Congxue said bluntly.
"Do you think those who can afford these pills will be ordinary people?"
"By my estimate, the overwhelming majority of buyers will be middle-aged women... or rather, noblewomen from wealthy families!"
"And by selling these pills to them, we will not only make money, but also build connections and resources for my Jin Clan Merchant Group!"
"Tell me, which is more important: money, or connections and resources?"
Upon hearing Jin Congxue's words, the appraisers fell silent.
For ordinary merchants, money might be more important.
But for a giant like the Jin Clan Merchant Group in Great Xia, the accumulation of connections and resources was clearly more important.
Jin Congxue continued.
"Therefore, I believe... we should hold an auction and help Su Xing auction them off for free, further expanding the influence of my Jin Clan Merchant Group! What do you think?"
The appraisers wore strange expressions when they heard this. With their discerning eyes, how could they fail to see the value of these pills? Yet merchants were naturally profit-driven, and the more they earned, the better.
But Jin Congxue was practically bending over backward for an outsider!
The appraisers sized up Su Xing. He was so young, yet extraordinary in appearance and capable of producing such pills.
A thought arose in their minds. Could this be the future son-in-law of the Jin Clan Merchant Group?
The appraisers hurriedly said.
"We will follow Miss Jin's decision in all matters!"
Jin Congxue nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Su Xing with a hint of seeking praise in her eyes.
Soon, the two sides signed a Commercial Contract.
Su Xing would provide the "Rich Lady Happy Pills" and designate the Jin Clan Merchant Group as the sole sales channel.
The Jin Clan Merchant Group, meanwhile, would give all auction profits to Su Xing.
After the contract was signed, the appraisers hurried away with the Beauty Pills.
Jin Congxue looked at Su Xing with rippling eyes and said playfully.
"Su Xing, since I helped you so much, how are you going to thank me?"
