After disconnecting the call, Hao Ren went back in the embrace of his wife's embrace. However, he did not sleep. Over the period of time, his body fitness has reached a level he could have never imagined it to be. He could stay awake for two days without any exertion. He knew this because he had been checking his attribute panel regularly.
Hao Ren thought to himself, 'System, the formula for the spirit rejuvenation potion is very potent and the one I handed to the military is a diluted potion. I wonder how similar is the effect.'
*Ding: Host, it was wise of you to dilute the potion. This formula is very strong and if it fell in the wrong hands, they can cause great harm. However, the dilution does not effect the potency much. For an above average human the recovery rate is still ninety percent, but someone who stands on the higher pedestal, they might need more than just one bottle.*
Hao Ren nodded internally and after some thought he said, 'I should just sell the formula directly to the military at a lower price, and ask them for an exemption because I toyed with that prick.'
He spent the entire night time in the bed thinking about the various ways he could use to maximize his benefit. Hao Ren was not a prime patriot, but he wasn't completely averted either. This place was his home after all. He sighed, thinking how good it would be if he could exchange his ideas with someone.
Suddenly, he sensed a burst of warmth on his neck and found that Han Lingshi had woken up and was looking at him with a smile on her face. She asked in a soft husky voice, "What are you thinking about?"
Hao Ren did not have any intention to hide his thoughts from her and the two of them began to discuss the possibilities. Han Lingshi was a bigger player in the world of business then he was, her expertise were something that could be cashed upon.
In the end, Han Lingshi said, "The reason you are not putting up robots for everything is because you do not want them to scare the humans if they appear to be too different. If you can make a spirit rejuvenation potion then why not use the means of integration and create something that enables the humans to be better than what they are. Something like those mechs in the movies.
As for the Spirit Rejuvenation Potion, it is good if you sell the diluted formula. It is a medicine made from herbs, and will only benefit them in the long run. Military will be keeping this deal a secret, and they will be hiding your identity as well. Cash in, and use the money for better things."
Hao Ren thought and said, "Sometimes the simplest method is the best method."
Han Lingshi nodded as she pecked his cheek and got out of bed. She said, "You have a meeting at ten, it is already seven, get going."
That said, she went to the washroom, while Hao Ren went to the gym room. His parents were early risers and were shocked to see this. They were attracted by the noises from the gym room when Hao Ren was practicing his martial arts. They did not expect their son to have such a skill.
Han Lingshi showed up after a hair wash and Hao Ren went to the washroom to take a bath. Soon the two were ready, and Mrs. Hao served them with a healthy breakfast. Han Lingshi said, "Ma, I will send a driver for you, we will go shopping in the evening and have a dinner outside."
Hao Ren said, "Lingshi, Sunshine Teahouse."
Han Lingshi was surprised but then she nodded. Mrs. Hao asked, "Why are you asking her to make the arrangements?" Your source is m-vl|em|p,yr
Han Lingshi replied, "He has an important meeting today. So, it would be difficult for him to spare time and attention."
Old Man Hao said, "Madam, don't meddle in their affairs, they are adults and can handle themselves."
Hao Ren smiled and said, "You are now watching the woods through the eyes of the others, Sir. Soldiers do not get old, they are never forgotten, they live through the people who succeed them."
Marshal Tang thought for a bit and said, "Well said."
Then he said, "Come and sit with me, Chairman Hao."
This address was not made out of formality but also respect. Hao Ren nodded and sat down across him. The old man said, "Can you guess why you have been called over today?"
Hao Ren nodded and replied, "The forces want to buy out my Spirit Rejuvenation Formula."
Marshal Tang smiled and said, "It saves time when you talk to smart people. Since you have figured it out, what do you say to the price of five hundred million yuan?"
Hao Ren raised his brow and smiled as he asked, "Sir, do you think it is too much? If I was to sell this formula to some private medicine developer, I would have made a fortune five times of what you are offering."
Marshal Tang nodded and said, "I understand what you mean, Chairman Hao, we understand that your formula is worth a lot more than what we have to offer, but recently the military is in a tight position. I hope you understand."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "I do, actually, I don't want you to pay me with this much money. I have five conditions which are easy to fulfil. I would like you to listen to them and see if we can reach a cooperation."
He had registered the formula in the Medical Codex and it was a proven recipe, none of the people could use it for commercial use without his permission. After the deal with the military, the record in the medical codex will be sealed by the military, and the information will vanish.
Mashal Tang was surprised to hear it, but then he said, "Fine, go ahead, tell me what is it that you want?"
Hao Ren smiled and said, "First condition, you all must have looked into me, and know that my partner, Miss Han Lingshi is someone many men have tried to impress. One such person is called Captain Eden Dale, a special force operative in the Tidal Squad."
The eyes of the two narrowed and killing intent filled the room. The details of the special squad members were secret, how can Hao Ren find out. The young man replied with a faint smile, "Please do not look at me like that. Captain Eden Dale tried to hack into my company server, but I caught him red handed.
I found out the reason of this snooping around from my wife and so I made a call to him on the encrypted channel.
I wish to be exempted from punishment from this. So, twenty percent of my merit from selling this formula can be used for that. I wonder if you agree."
The two old men were still gazing at him with malice, and Marshal Tang asked, "Do you understand what you just told us?"
Hao Ren smiled and nodded before he said, "I do, but the constitution allows me the right to self defense. It also restricts a military personnel to look into my life without any concrete reason. So, if this goes into court of law, it is a civil crime. Both sides will suffer, so the choice is yours."
