Especially to those who have generously rewarded me, such as Xiaoyang Bumei, somis17, Beijia Dong, Dabuzhang L, Moren Sha, Nvshizhu Budao, Daxiami Chiji, Li Chi, and other book friends; and to mnyy brother, who has silently supported me from the old book, I bow in gratitude! This work will continue to maintain one update per day, with controlled word count. When there are recommendations, it will speed up to two updates. Please be informed!
"Xiaolongnü?"
Answering the call, Hao Xue maintained a mysterious and profound tone, and contacted this one of the most successfully portrayed female heroes by Jin Yong.
"Hong Lingjin Senior!"
Xiaolongnü was greatly surprised. She was not at the back of Zhongnan Mountain but inside the Living Dead Tomb. How could someone ignore all the traps of the Living Dead Tomb and intrude, yet she couldn't find any trace of this person?
Upon hearing this, Yang Guo quickly stood up, maintaining sufficient respect despite not seeing the person.
Just a moment ago, Chongyang Palace sent a message to the tomb, stating that the Quanzhen disciple Yin Zhiping had morally degenerated, committed a despicable act, and grossly violated the Quanzhen sect's rules. Yin Zhiping had been severely punished and expelled from the sect, driven down from Zhongnan Mountain, and they hoped the tomb's successor would forgive them.
Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü looked at each other in shock, never expecting that Senior Hong Lingjin would act so decisively, directly commanding Chongyang Palace to severely punish the Taoist who had violated Xiaolongnü. Such swift action was as if the real Chongyang Zhenren had returned.
Yang Guo, who had suffered many injustices in the Quanzhen sect during his youth, had no good impression of the Taoists. Hearing that Yin Zhiping had been punished and expelled, he felt greatly relieved and revered this mysterious Senior Hong Lingjin as a deity.
Perhaps next time, he could ask this senior to deal with the despicable Zhao Zhijing as well!
Xiaolongnü, not daring to be negligent, responded respectfully, "What does Senior Hong command?"
Uh... Hao Xue broke into a sweat first. You remember the name Red Scarf so clearly, how did you do that...
"Can you give me one of the jade bees you raise to play with?"
Hao Xue first needed to confirm whether living creatures could be transmitted through the phone. If not, he would have to rely on Xiaolongnü to provide the finished jade bee honey, which would severely limit production, and the pricing for Xuefulu would need to be adjusted.
For Xiaolongnü, this was a minor matter. She quickly summoned the jade bees she raised, holding one in her palm and softly said, "Please appear, Senior Hong, to take the jade bee."
Hao Xue's heart sank; he did not receive any notification on his phone to accept the jade bee.
"Have you placed the jade bee in your hand?"
"It's in my hand."
Sigh! Hao Xue was a bit disappointed. It seems that living creatures cannot be transmitted. The price of Xuefulu will probably need to be raised.
As a second choice, he could only ask for more bottles of jade bee honey to give Xiong Huijuan some assurance. As for how to arrange the specific sales, it didn't seem to require his attention.
"Never mind, get a few more bottles of jade bee honey. I won't play with the jade bee for now."
Xiaolongnü, not understanding, quickly followed the mysterious Senior Hong Lingjin's instructions, holding a few bottles of jade bee honey, waiting for the senior to use his supreme skill to take them.
Ah?
Hao Xue was truly panicked this time. Why was there still no transmission prompt? Why wasn't it working!
Could it be that this void transmission works for Yang Guo but not for Xiaolongnü? It can't be because of the rule of no physical contact between men and women... but I didn't touch her...
This was a big deal. Hao Xue urgently hung up on Xiaolongnü and called Yang Guo again, instructing him to hold the jade bee honey as he did that day, even maintaining the same posture and gestures.
However... the phone remained silent, and it was impossible to transmit the jade bee honey from Yang Guo's hand.
"Finished!"
Hao Xue let out a wail. How did this become a one-time deal? If I had known, I would have had you send all the stock from the tomb at once!!
He hung up the call in a daze, leaving the mystified Divine Carving Couple to continue their intimate activities in the tomb.
Hao Xue arrived at the company with low spirits. Xiong Huijuan was waiting at the door and directly led him to the president's office.
"Do you have the formula for Xuefulu?"
Xiong Huijuan asked straight away, her eyes fixed on Hao Xue's face.
This kid is really steady, keeping his cool!
Since the press conference in the afternoon, Xiong Huijuan, representing Huitian Pharmaceuticals, had received a flood of orders!
Phone calls, emails, dinner invitations, and attempts to build relationships—Xiong Huijuan, since taking over as president of Huitian Pharmaceuticals, had never been so busy.
The terrifying business potential of Xuefulu, this groundbreaking beauty product, left this business elite in awe!
"President Xiong, our Qian Sheng Group has a long-standing relationship with your company! This time, you must give us the first opportunity to launch Xuefulu. When can we have a meal to discuss the supply contract? President Xiong, rest assured, whatever price you name, we at Qian Sheng will not haggle!"
"President Xiong, regarding the last batch of drugs... it was all our fault! You are a magnanimous person, please don't hold our previous unintentional offense against us. What about this time's Xuefulu..."
"Xiong, I heard you've developed a new product recently? Quality control must be strict; substandard products must not be allowed to enter the market and harm the public! I have repeatedly emphasized in various meetings that doing business means doing with conscience. Here's the thing, my sister-in-law, as a cadre's family member, has a higher awareness and should bravely test the product for the people! Send a few bottles over, let her help you with quality control... Yes, since I am in this position, I should take on the necessary social responsibility, no need to be too polite!"
There were those discussing cooperation, those building relationships, and even those hinting at special supplies for the powerful. Xiong Huijuan's personal phone had become a sales hotline for Xuefulu.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Huitian Pharmaceuticals! Especially for many leaders, who originally ignored her when she went to beg, now actively called to inquire about Xuefulu. After all, which leader doesn't have a wife? And some even have more than one... the demand is huge!
However, while Xiong Huijuan was excited, she was also uncertain, as this product was not developed by Huitian Pharmaceuticals.
This little Hao, throwing out such a powerful weapon, could still go home as if nothing happened, truly a big heart.
A phone call brought this great deity back to the company. Xiong Huijuan stared at Hao Xue, feeling very uneasy. As long as you have the formula, no matter the cost, I must get it!
Hao Xue had a bitter smile on his face, looking at the radiant woman in front of him. His words sent Xiong Huijuan into a cold sweat.
"I don't have the formula for Xuefulu."
At this moment, he couldn't make false promises. Not only could he not get the jade bees, but the source of jade bee honey was also cut off. Hao Xue only had three bottles left, and even including the one he gave to He Wanjun, he could only make four bottles, which might not be enough...
Not only not enough!
Xiong Huijuan slammed the table, turning the 27-inch monitor on the desk to face Hao Xue, and said with deep pain:
"Look at these order emails! My inbox is overflowing! Without the formula, holding a press conference is just playing with everyone... This time, it will be worse than not having anything at the press conference!"
"This... I still have two bottles of the original Xuefulu. Should we mix some nutritional solution and produce 200 bottles of Xuefulu to meet the market demand..."
Although Hao Xue firmly rejected the unreliable Liu Peng, he was willing to help Xiong Huijuan, but the problem was that he couldn't get the jade bee honey now!
"200 bottles?"
Xiong Huijuan laughed bitterly. That wouldn't even meet the demand of those who strongly requested to test the product with their wives...
