Liu Erlong's eyes went wide, and she promptly confiscated the Ice-Fire Goddess in her hand.
"Uh, ahem, ahem-"
"I'll take this as a gift to your teacher. No objections, right?"
Zhu Zhuqing did not know whether to laugh or cry. Suddenly, a brilliant plan sprang into her mind.
"Yes, it was meant for you anyway, Teacher. I have a plan I'd like to discuss with you."
Liu Erlong nodded.
The two began discussing matters in the dean's office.
An hour later, Zhu Zhuqing and Liu Erlong emerged from the office.
Both wore beaming smiles.
Their business negotiations had succeeded.
Liu Erlong would provide the labor-commoner Soul Masters on work-study programs.
Zhu Zhuqing would provide the skincare formulas and packaging ideas.
On the third floor of Blue Tyrant's Senior Soul Master Girls' Dormitory, which was currently vacant,
the two would establish a skincare production line.
Zhu Zhuqing would hold a 35% share, and Liu Erlong another 35%. Of the remaining 30%, they would set aside 20% to distribute among the commoner female Soul Masters on work-study programs who were willing to join them.
The last 10% would serve as reserve funds for Blue Tyrant Academy's year-end bonuses or for greasing palms elsewhere.
The two hit it off immediately.
This arrangement would benefit everyone, as long as the skincare products sold well in Heaven Dou City.
Liu Erlong had already been worried sick over the academy's teaching funds. That father of hers sent her only a little money each month, and her clan had withdrawn its funding long ago.
Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing would be able to amass Gold Soul Coins quickly to meet her future needs.
Liu Erlong took Zhu Zhuqing straight to the Soul Hunting Forest outside Heaven Dou City.
This Soul Hunting Forest was maintained by Heaven Dou Imperial City
