Chapter 98

98 Xu Ning!

Upon hearing that she was coming, Song Jian decided to wait for her.

“Young Miss, master said you should eat some more mood since you don’t like the one from the restaurant we just left,” Lu San said as he parked the car and Rong Yue’s brows curved upwards.

“And how does he know that I don’t like the food?” Rong Yue asked slyly. Although she knew that Lu San would definitely be reporting her matters to Qin Yichen, she wasn’t expecting something like him knowing what she ate.

“He asked what you had for lunch and I told him,” Lu San said with a shrug, in all honesty, he had no idea how his boss had also figured out that she didn’t like her food.

Rong Yue nodded and then leaned her head back on the chair, although she appeared calm on the surface, her mind was swirling with so many thoughts.

It was hard to understand why a man like that would want her and care about her. More importantly, he seemed to want to make her entire life easier with his every action.

It was hard for her heart to not be moved, after all, she had a clear mind and was able to separate what was good from what wasn’t worth it.

Her eyes remained closed up until the car stopped and she got down.

“Rong Yue,” Song Jian greeted warmly as he did his best to keep his excitement at bay.

.....

His immediate sister that had been with Rong Yue the other day also stepped out from the inner room and greeted Rong Yue.

Unlike her brother, she was still skeptical about if they could really earn money and build a brand with their herbal medicine knowledge, however because of her trust and gratefulness towards Rong Yue, she did everything without complaints and hopefulness.

“You have worked so hard,” It was so clear from the eye bags on both their faces and the exhaustion between their brows.

“You both would be a type of face for the brand, it’s not enough to have clear and healthy bodies and skin, people would not come for a massage if they think that you are still struggling with exhaustion, so you both must take care of yourself,” she chided softly, holding on to Song Yan’s hand.

Having been away from the laboratory for a while, she spent some time on learning and seeing what they had produced and Rong Yue nodded in satisfaction the whole time. Thankfully, she hadn’t misjudged them.

“You can keep this product away from the first launch, I intend for Aura to do product launches all year round so that they can keep the community excited.

So for now, we can focus majorly on minor and common health challenges that people face and then focus on herbal beauty treatments too,”

As she talked, Song Jian recorded everything down and nodded.

“If that’s going to be our major launch focus, then I think we have gotten all we need already. Yan’ er, bring the list of finished products so we can show her,” he said to his younger sister who hurried out of the room.

He then went on to explain to her about the marketing quality and how he felt the production cost was a lot.

“It’s okay, we are selling luxury, as high as the cost is, we would make it back regardless,” Rong Yue said with a chuckle.

Back in the future, many brands came up with the herbal and natural beauty products, however, most of them always had their actives wrong and focused on the same formulas which made people see the herbal products as slow and sometimes ineffective.

Now that she was making a first move with products that actually had good results, she was certain that they were going to be a hit.

Song Yan entered the room back with a note pad in her hands. The three of them sat around the notepad and analyzed the products they had listed and created here.

“For this one, you must put it in two, there should be the sensitive ones and the normal ones,” Rong Yue said as she pointed at a tincture that had a herb that some people were known to react to.

“You don’t have to worry, my mother’s formula for this doesn’t have this plant, we can directly make hers into the one for sensitive skin,”

They spent three hours talking on everything and by the time Rong Yue demanded that they had a break to have some food, they had already covered thirty main products. Since their goal was forty five with thirty for medicinal purposes and the remaining fifteen for beauty products, they were more than halfway done.

Lu San had also used the time when they were working to pick up the meal order that Qin Yichen had told the staff at Yue to make for Rong Yue.

As soon as he placed the box on the table and brought each dish, Rong Yue felt her the corner of her eyes tear up slightly as she looked at each dish.

It was not hard for her to see that it was Qin Yichen that made the order for her.

As for Song Yan and Song Jian, although their life was better now, it was still not up to the point where they could eat foods like this everyday.

So their mouths watered at the sight of the food and they looked at Rong Yue as if to ask for permission.

“The food is for all of us including Lu San, you don’t have to worry about shortening my ration.”

Since they didn’t know what ration of food Rong Yue usually ate on a normal day, the two of them dived in and were won over with just one taste of the meal.

As they ate on in silence, Rong Yue also watched the news that was focused on the financial situation of China.

With all her plans, things like this were considered important to her.

Yet, as a particular face came up on the screen, her body stiffened and she tightened her grip on the cutlery she was holding.

Xu Ning!

“Known as the golden finger and the golden egg in B city, Miss Xu Ning has been discovered for embezzling millions of dollars from the Hong Foundation, she is currently on the run and would be apprehended as soon as she is found!

Rong Yue felt all of her body trembling as she looked at that familiar face on the screen.

No... no... it’s not possible that her sister Ning was a thief... couldn’t... not possibly be.

As she saw the familiar face plastered on the screen, her body shook so terribly that even Song Jian and the rest realized that something was wrong.

“Rong Yue, is everything okay?” Song Yan asked as she moved closer to her. Since she was a girl, she didn’t bother about boundaries and directly held her shoulders.

Her eyes widened at the intense shaking of Rong Yue’s body and yet, none of them could explain what was wrong, her eyes were blank and staring into space while they were also teary.

On the other hand, Rong Yue’s mind has slipped to when she had met Xu Ning. Although her science wasn’t perfect, she was invisible when it came to finance and management.

At first, she had loathed her, after all, she had managed the organization and even when she had superiors, Rong Yue always felt that it was impossible for her to be good.

However, anytime any of them were operated on or badly treated, Xu Ning would sneak in and help them with medicines and food and sometimes even comfort them.

It was on one of those fateful days when they had checked if Rong Yue’s body had the capacity to be a match for the robot that she had lashed out at Xu Ning who had tried to comfort her after.

Eventually, she had discovered that Xu Ning had been working with them when she discovered that they were doing illegal business.

When she had tried to leave, they had done exactly what they were doing now... following her chain of thoughts, Rong Yue’s eyes regained focus immediately as she shot up from her seat.

“Lu San, book the next flight to the capital for me, I’ll leave immediately,” she ordered as she rushed out of the laboratory leaving the remaining three people stunned.

Lu San’s reflexes were good and he chased after her immediately while the two siblings also got up in succession.

Since they were all used to the collected and calm Rong Yue, this Rong Yue that was completely emotional and human was new to them and made them all feel slightly shaken.

Lu San let out a sigh as he looked at Rong Yue’s outline in the car. Thankfully, she hadn’t run off out of her emotions because he was sure that a news like that would probably have Qin Yichen asking for his head!

“Go home, I need to pack a bag for my trip and tell mother that I have some urgent matters,” Rong Yue told him as soon as he entered the car.
