Chapter 1143 - 1143: This Money Must Be Paid

Although Xiao Feng said this, in his heart, it was clear that saying he didn't care about Lin Jiaxuan at all wasn't very likely.

After all, three meals a day could get you a strong ally by your side, which is a win-win no matter how you look at it.

But given the current situation, he could only go with the flow.

Based on Xiao Feng's personality, asking him to put aside his pride and invite Lin Jiaxuan back would be just as difficult as plucking stars from the sky.

Lu Yao obviously understood Xiao Feng well enough and didn't continue discussing this matter deeply.

"Is the egg not hatched yet?" Xiao Feng approached the castle in the corner, asking the little girl who was feeding the fragrant beads with imported feed.

The little girl paused, rolled her eyes, and said, "According to the book, it'll take another week. We've only been at the assessment for three days altogether."

"Your attitude is a bit off. How did I offend you?" Xiao Feng asked with a frown.

"Hmph! It's because Brother Xiao Feng chased away Xuanxuan.

With her gone, there's no one to talk to me, no one to argue with me, no one to warm my bed. I'm left all alone, cold and lonely at night..."

"..." Xiao Feng.

This girl is getting more and more outrageous.

Just then, Sun Shijie came in.

Xiao Feng immediately greeted him and said, "Old man, have we sold out of the Original Heart Pills in stock?"

Sun Shijie shook his head and replied, "With the current output, we have enough to sell for a few more days, but if we continue production, you'll need to put up the cost."

"Didn't we agree to split the costs between us?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Shijie became angry and said, "Then you should split it. From the first batch to the current second-generation product, I've been using my savings to front the costs.

I haven't seen any profit shares, but I can't keep losing money either."

"Old man, you don't trust me." Xiao Feng said discontentedly, "Am I going to cheat you out of money?

Just tell me how much, and I'll give it to you later."

"Fifty million."

"How much?"

"Fifty million!"

Xiao Feng's face immediately turned grim: "Are you planning a robbery?"

"I guessed you'd say that." Sun Shijie said angrily, "With the current second-generation product, the cost of one Original Heart Pill is around a thousand.

Ten thousand for ten pills, a hundred thousand for a hundred, a million for a thousand, ten million for ten thousand.

So, fifty million is only enough to produce fifty thousand Original Heart Pills, and you know our daily output better than me."

After a moment of silence, Xiao Feng nodded and said, "Give me your account number, and I'll transfer the money now."

He had calculated the daily output of Original Heart Pills seriously.

In the past half month, the average daily output was about eighteen hundred to two thousand pills.

The current price of one Original Heart Pill is two thousand five, meaning each pill yields a profit of about fifteen hundred.

Fifteen hundred times the minimum daily output of eighteen hundred equals a net profit of two hundred seventy thousand, with half going to Sun Shijie, leaving a hundred thirty-five thousand in earnings.

So this money has to be put out no matter what, can't let little things ruin big opportunities, and lose the big for the small.

After Sun Shijie received the money, he didn't stay long to chat.

And not long after he left, Zhao Guo'an and Zhen Jinghan followed in.

"Old Xiao, you're really not fair!" Zhao Guo'an accused as soon as he arrived.

Zhen Jinghan greeted Xiao Feng, didn't get involved in their affair, and went into the villa with the little girl and the others.

"Why am I not fair?" Xiao Feng replied displeased.

Zhao Guo'an confidently said, "Let's not talk about anything else, now my basement is full of stuff you and Senior Sun are storing there. Shouldn't you pay a venue fee?"

"Isn't that house yours? Don't you know it yourself?" Xiao Feng said irritably, "Living in someone else's house for free while charging rent and taking all the benefits for yourself?"

"What are you saying!" Zhao Guo'an couldn't help but become upset.

He didn't really expect to get money from Xiao Feng. He was merely trying to earn some goodwill from him.

But unexpectedly, not only did he fail, he was directly countered with Xiao Feng's words.

However, if Zhao Guo'an knew that Xiao Feng had just paid fifty million, he would understand why he was being countered.

Because it's during these times that Xiao Feng is most frustrated, and asking for money at such a sensitive moment is genuinely hitting the nail on the head.

Xiao Feng had no desire to continue arguing with Zhao Guo'an, so he turned and headed into the villa.

He needed to think about how to quickly earn some money to heal his wounded soul...

After all, Xiao Feng usually doesn't spend much but is always focused on seizing every opportunity to earn money, let alone after just spending a large sum.

At that moment, just as he stepped up the stairs, his phone rang.

He looked at it and saw it was Du Linlang's... father, Du Feixiang calling.

Seeing Du Feixiang's name, Xiao Feng couldn't help but remember the "divorce wave" orchestrated by Gu Wanrong not too long ago.

I wonder if that person has softened up?

Shaking his head, he decided not to dwell on these things, and he answered the call.

"Hey, Xiao Feng." Du Feixiang's voice came through, without much small talk, straight to the point: "I'm calling to bring you a money-making business."

Xiao Feng's eyes lit up immediately; he was worried about how to make money, and Du Feixiang said he's bringing a business opportunity. Wasn't this just like receiving a pillow when he was sleepy?

Instantly, Du Feixiang's favorability rose dramatically in Xiao Feng's mind, and he dismissed his initial idea of teasing him a bit.

Though excited, he still kept his usual indifferent tone: "Oh, let's hear it."

Du Feixiang didn't mind and said, "I heard you're selling a medicine called Original Heart Pill, is that right?"

"Yes." Xiao Feng straightforwardly acknowledged it and asked in return, "Do you have a demand for it?"

"Linlang is old enough to get married, what demand could I have?"

"Whether she's getting married or not is a separate matter from whether you have a demand. If you feel embarrassed, you can say it's for a friend and take the goods from me."

On the other side of the phone, Du Feixiang's face darkened, realizing he can't beat around the bush anymore and must be direct.

With that realization, he coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said, "First, let me clarify, it's not for me. A friend of mine asked me..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng showed a knowing smile.

Having sold Original Heart Pills for such a long time, he's seen all sorts of excuses, and compared to those eloquent customers, Du Feixiang could only be considered at an elementary level.

However, Du Feixiang's next words made Xiao Feng realize he might have misunderstood...

Du Feixiang said, "My friend wants to order five thousand Original Heart Pills from you.

Of course, if you're willing to give more, he could take more.

As for the price, he's willing to pay more than the market price."
