Dear Commander-in-Chief

Chapter 494: The Little Plan He Was Hiding

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Honestly speaking, Gu Qiqi didn’t have much hope that Chu Junmo would be willing to help.

Indeed.

Chu Junmo heard Gu Qiqi talk about the Yang father and daughter.

After pondering for a moment.

His expression became serious and he said, “Young Lady Qiqi, you know that I’m a pure businessman. I don’t have the heart of a saint. I definitely won’t help him because he’s pitiful.”

Gu Qiqi nodded. “I understand.”

If Chu Junmo agreed immediately, she would feel that something was wrong.

She wasn’t related to him at all. On what basis should he help her?

There was a price to everything. What price would she have to pay to beg someone for help?

Chu Junmo continued, “Your business model of using jade as medicine looks good, but there are two fatal problems.”

“Tell me.” Gu Qiqi listened modestly.

It was an honor to be guided by a business big shot.

Chu Junmo’s tone was professional and clear. “Firstly, jade that can be used for medicine is expensive, and requires a long time to refine. Secondly, even if a new brand borrows our Chu clan’s pharmacy to create sales, it’s very difficult to predict if the customers will buy it or not. The risk is extremely high.”

Gu Qiqi had to admit. “You’re right.”

However…

She raised her small face and her eyes were firm. “But I have the confidence to crack them! For the first point, I have a way to find jade and refine medicine. For the second point, I already have a meticulous plan. As long as you give me a chance to try, I will know how the market will react! If the facts prove that I can’t do it, you can directly kick Lan Ting out of the pharmacy, terminate the cooperation, and pursue the loss. I won’t have any complaints.”

Chu Junmo’s eyes flickered slightly.

With a grave expression, he nodded. “Okay.”

Ah?

Gu Qiqi thought that Chu Junmo would continue to make things difficult for her with a few questions, such as the investment amount, the distribution of profits and so on.

She was still thinking about how to come up with a plan to persuade him.

She didn’t expect Chu Junmo to actually agree!

This was too different from his attitude towards her business model just now.

She couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you agree with me?”

Chu Junmo said lightly, “Because it’s you. Even if it’s difficult, I’m confident.”

In an instant, blood rushed to Gu Qiqi’s heart.

She really couldn’t let down Chu Junmo’s trust, nor could she let down Yang Xiaolan and Iron Fist Yang’s trust. She had to do well with Lan Ting so it becomes the number one brand in the Empire that used jade as medicine!

Behind the screen, Gong Jue snorted coldly and laughed.

Hmph! Chu, do you think that I can’t tell your tricks?

You deliberately made things difficult for her first before agreeing. You’re trying to let that stupid woman lower her guard against you, right?

It would appear that you’re doing this for business and not for other purposes, right?

But I know that you have other motives!

We’re both men. Can’t I tell the hidden plan in your sly fox eyes?

Gong Jue took a deep breath. He felt that he couldn’t tolerate it anymore. This time, he had to flip the roof!

“Let’s talk about the detailed contract later. It’s getting late. Why don’t we have supper first?” Chu Junmo invited her like a gentleman.

“Uh… No, it’s too troublesome. I’ve eaten dinner.”

“It’s not troublesome. I cooked it myself. They all find it disgusting. Help me eat it. Treat it as sympathy for an unwelcome chef.” Chu Junmo said lightly and gently.

Oh, this reason was really difficult to reject.

Gu Qiqi facepalmed. “Okay!”

Honestly speaking, she was curious about whether a man could actually cook!
