“That’s right.”

Lu Sheng smiled and said: “Ten percent of the profits in exchange for the support of me and the power behind me. Is there a better deal in the world than this?”

“Miss He.”

He Ling Su’s face quickly changed colours. If everything was as Lu Sheng said. Then she would have to face the Chen family sooner or later. Even if she didn’t have any complaints or thoughts of revenge for what happened in the past twenty years. But the other party might not be willing to let her go.

The prescription that she and Lu Sheng were discussing now was the best excuse. He Ling Su still understood the principle of “treasuring a jade ring becomes a crime*”.

[TN: meaning how valuables often attract trouble.]

After making a choice, He Ling Su finally made up her mind.

“Okay!” He Ling Su agreed. “I hope that Mr. Lu will fulfil his promise.”

“Of course.” Lu Sheng smiled, then took out a small memory card from his pocket and handed it to He Ling Su.

“This is the prescription for the Spiritual Muscle and Blood Strengthening Decoction. Find time to register the prescription at the Pharmaceutical Manufacturer’s Association. If there’s anything you don’t understand during the preparation process, feel free to ask me. I don’t care about anything else, I believe in your ability. Also, I want to borrow your lab [referred to as “blending room” previously] for a while. Arrange a time slot for me.”

He Ling Su nodded repeatedly. She felt that the moment the cooperation was officially negotiated. Lu Sheng’s aura changed. He became condescending. He became more oppressive, more aggressive, more certain, and more irrefutable.

It was as if she wasn’t facing a seventeen-year-old high school student, but some high and mighty big shot.

Even when he spoke, his tone was commanding.

The way he addressed her also changed from “Miss He” to “you”. And she couldn’t even muster an opposing word against him.

It was as if everything was a matter of course.

“Okay, I’m full. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave. Happy cooperation.”

Lu Sheng stood up, pointed at the twenty empty plates stacked high in front of him, and said to He Ling Su, “This steak is of good quality. I suggest you try it.”

With that, he turned and left.

He Ling Su stared blankly at Lu Sheng’s back as he left. She was in a daze for a while. Thinking about how she had prepared so carefully, but in the end, she had to give up 90% of the profits, she felt like she was in a dream.

This was completely different from what she had expected.

“Miss~”

A person’s voice interrupted He Ling Su’s thoughts.

He Ling Su looked up and found the restaurant’s waiter standing in front of her.

“The bill?”

He Ling Su was stunned, then realized that Lu Sheng wanted her to foot the bill. Although she was a little unhappy, He Ling Su still nodded and said, “Sure, how much is it?”

The waiter glanced at the bill and said, “The total is 115,200 yuan. I’ll round off the 200, so it’ll be 115,000 yuan.”

He Ling Su was about to take out the money, but when she heard the number, she was stunned. She wondered if she had heard wrong.

“How much? 115,000?”

“Yes.”

He Ling Su was so anxious that she almost screamed, “Didn’t he order a total of 40 plates of the 1,288 yuan steak?”

The waiter patiently explained, “It was the 1,288 yuan steak, yes. But this gentleman ordered a total of 90 plates.”

“90 plates? Where did the 90 plates come from? He only ate 40 plates! And he said he was full!”

“He packed 50 plates and said he would bring them home for his family to try.”

“Ah …” He Ling Su’s mouth was wide open. She was frozen on the spot, unmoving.

Then, her breathing began to quicken. Her chest rose and fell rapidly. It was as if there was a fire animation playing behind her.

“Lu! Sheng!” He Ling Su gritted her teeth enunciated his name.

Finally, she looked helplessly at the waiter in front of her.

“Do you accept credit cards here?”

“…”

Lu Sheng carried a total of 50 packed top-grade steaks and strolled along the pedestrian street of Century Square. He attracted the attention of passer-by.

Lu Sheng was quite satisfied with the results of the cooperation with Xingshan Tang today. He got what he wanted, and it exceeded his expectations.

Lu Sheng’s original intentions were to take 80% of the profits, but he had raised it to 90%. He didn’t expect that He Ling Su would actually agree after some persuasion.

“When He Ling Su comes back to her senses, she’ll probably regret it.”

Not to mention that he even freeloaded a family bucket worth of steaks from her before leaving.

“He Ling Su’s family is simple and honest. Although she’s not very capable, I don’t need her to be too capable. She just needs to be obedient …”

This was very important.

Lu Sheng also carefully studied the three generations of the He family before finally deciding to cooperate with He Ling Su.

As for the trouble that He Ling Su brought with her.

It was not a problem much of a problem for Lu Sheng.

As long as he was strong enough, any trouble was not a problem. He just needed to crush it.

Although Lu Sheng’s current strength was not very strong. His talent was outstanding. Talent itself was also a part of one’s strength. It could bring a lot of power.

If the power brought by talent was not enough, then show more talent.

Lu Sheng’s way of thinking was so crude and simple.

And he also checked.

The Chen family of the Capital standing behind He Ling Su’s mother was not very powerful. It was just an insignificant family in the Capital.

The reason why they could make the He family like this was because the He family was too weak.

In fact, Lu Sheng did not think too much.

Since he took on the mission of reversing the fate of the human race, any internal conflict was just a small matter to him.

He strolled home slowly. It was almost four in the afternoon by the time he reached.

Zheng Yufen had already finished work and was preparing dinner.

After Lu Sheng came back, Zheng Yufen pushed away most of her part-time jobs so that she could have more time to cook for him.

“What did you bring back? Why so much?”

As soon as Lu Sheng entered the house, Zheng Yufen smelled a tempting aroma of meat. She followed it from the kitchen to the living room.

Lu Sheng put the take out box on the table and smiled. “Steak, from a high-class restaurant. You don’t have to cook tonight. Let’s have steak.”

“Tell me if you want to eat steak. I’ll go to the market and buy beef for you. What’s the point of going to a restaurant? It’s expensive, and the portions are small. How much did this pile cost?”

Zheng Yufen looked pained.

Lu Sheng casually replied, “It wasn’t me who spent the money, it was my friend’s treat, a rich second generation kid, he’s rich! If I didn’t accept it, he’d have been mad at me.”

He wondered how He Ling Su, who had just walked out of the restaurant with her credit card maxed out, would feel when she heard this.

“I see …”

Hearing this, Zheng Yufen’s expression relaxed, but she still warned him, “Don’t do this in the future. Even though they gave it to you, it’s not good for you to take it for free. Then I won’t cook. I’ll warm up these steaks. Sigh, this is too much …”

Lu Sheng let Zheng Yufen do whatever she wanted and went back to his room alone.

Back in his room, Lu Sheng sat in front of his desk, thinking about his next plan.

“Tomorrow, I’ll have He Ling Su buy the ingredients to concoct the Spiritual Muscle and Blood Strengthening Decoction and the Marrow Nourishing Pill. These two supplements have special effects on refining muscles and bones, and they’re also the most cost-effective. As long as there’s enough of them, I could use to them reach Level 4. Then there’s the matter of the spiritual master weapon …”
