After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 185 Do you not like me very much?

Chapter 185: Chapter 185 Do you not like me very much?

"So..."

Shi Yaoguang spoke with a relaxed expression, "From now on, you can just leave this kind of thing to him."

Zhan Miao: "..."

The one blatantly pointed out by Shi Yaoguang to be used as cheap labor was Quan Jinbei.

He twitched the corner of his mouth with a hint of helplessness, "Am I now only worth being cheap labor?"

"What else?" Shi Yaoguang asked back as if it were a matter of fact.

Quan Jinbei: "..."

Quan Jinbei didn’t know how to retort.

Right now...

It seemed...

He truly was only fit to be cheap labor.

Thinking of this, he could only accept his fate.

He looked at Shi Yaoguang and said to her, "Since the mistress has spoken, I guess I have no choice but to be the cheap labor."

Then, he looked towards Zhan Miao, "Where’s the Revival Cream?"

Zhan Miao patted his head and took out a Space Button.

Looking at the Space Button in his hand, Quan Jinbei subconsciously turned to look at Shi Yaoguang.

Shi Yaoguang shook her head, indicating she was also unaware.

Seeing this, Zhan Miao took the initiative to explain, "I won this Space Button in a lottery."

He became a bit embarrassed as he said this, "I watched Miss Shi’s live broadcast last time and learned about the function of the Space Button. In order to increase the chances of being drawn, I specially created a few alt accounts..."

Shi Yaoguang twitched her mouth.

A few alt accounts?

Zhan Miao’s expression did not quite match his words.

Indeed, the so-called few alt accounts involved mobilizing all the members under his command, as well as some personnel from his family’s influence...

In short, he had mobilized everyone he could.

In the end, under such intensive efforts, one account ended up being the lucky one.

The owner of that account was one of his subordinates, a soldier. Given the miraculous nature of the Space Button, it naturally couldn’t be kept by the soldier alone, so it was immediately handed over.

Zhan Miao happened to be holding it when he stored the Revival Cream, making it convenient to carry on his person.

Shi Yaoguang nodded at him, signaling for him to take out the Revival Cream.

Zhan Miao nodded, and in the next moment, the living room of Quan Mansion was filled to the brim with a mountainous pile of Revival Cream.

Shi Yaoguang raised her head to look at the towering stacks of Revival Cream and her mouth gave a fierce twitch.

Her tone also grew a bit strained, "Is this the result of your preparations during this time?"

Zhan Miao scratched his head sheepishly, knowing he had put Quan Mansion in a difficult position by bringing out so much at once, but...

He had no choice.

After all, he was just a runner.

During the mass production of the Revival Cream, he had warned his superiors not to make too much at once.

But...

When his superiors handed him the batch of Revival Cream, it was already piled up.

Shi Yaoguang looked at his face, which was turning red from holding back, and knew that he probably didn’t have much say in the matter, so she didn’t bother arguing with him.

On the other hand, Quan Jinbei watched Zhan Miao with a mocking smile, his voice carrying a slightly sinister tone, "The military really treats us like cheap labor, doesn’t it?"

"No, no!" Zhan Miao waved his hands frantically, "We definitely don’t mean that! We just... just..."

Zhan Miao struggled for a while before he could come up with a somewhat reasonable explanation, "We just didn’t get a handle on the production volume because it’s our first time making it."

"Hmph." Quan Jinbei snorted, "You were given a formula precise to the milligram, and you still couldn’t control the production volume? You really have the nerve to say that."

Zhan Miao was at a loss for words.

He really didn’t have the nerve to say that.

But that was still his line, "I, Zhan Miao, just a runner!"

What could he do about it?

When things went south, it was him who had to bear the brunt.

And the worst part was that the higher-ups wouldn’t listen to his warnings.

Zhan Miao was about to implode with frustration.

Seeing his head hang low, Shi Yaoguang sighed, "Alright, don’t look like that. I didn’t mean to blame you."

"Really?"

"Mhm."

Quan Jinbei cast her a mournful glance, "You might not blame me, but that doesn’t mean I’m not upset about it."

Zhan Miao suddenly felt a headache coming on.

He had always known that Quan Jinbei was not someone easy to deal with, and now he truly understood why.

The first batch of Revival Cream had already been produced. What if Quan Jinbei got angry and didn’t want to help with the reprocessing?

As things stood, there wasn’t a second soul in the whole country who could double the Revival Cream’s effects like he could.

Originally, Shi Yaoguang was the only one, but now, it seemed she had taught Quan Jinbei her method.

Therefore, they were the only two.

In other words, offending either of them meant the batch of Revival Cream he brought could only end in a total loss.

Thinking about this possibility, Zhan Miao began to feel depressed.

Of course.

What he found hardest to accept was the performance of the Revival Cream itself.

If it weren’t for Shi Yaoguang making its efficacy double... the effect of the Revival Cream was actually not that great.

Although it did have an effect, but...

Having experienced the speed of a rocket, who would want to drive a tractor?

Zhan Miao’s thoughts were written all over his face. Seeing his bitter expression, Shi Yaoguang helplessly glared at Quan Jinbei, "It’s not something Zhan Miao can decide. Why take it out on him?"

Quan Jinbei frowned, "When did you get so close to him? Why are you defending him like that?"

"How am I defending him? I’m just being objective," replied Shi Yaoguang.

After finishing her sentence, she felt her clothes being tugged.

Looking down, she saw the adorable little bun standing in front of her.

Shi Fan, the little kid, blinked his big eyes and looked at Shi Yaoguang with a cute and naive expression, saying in a baby voice, "Sister, if brother-in-law doesn’t want to help, I can help you~"

As he said this, he also showed Quan Jinbei a sweet smile, "Brother-in-law, I can help sister, so you don’t have to worry."

Quan Jinbei: "..."

Suddenly feeling a threat to his status, what was he to do?

Zhan Miao, on the other hand, looked at Shi Fan with a touched expression.

Although he hadn’t criticized Quan Jinbei, Quan Jinbei knew all too well that he had probably cursed him out in his head.

Before he could finish his thoughts, he heard Zhan Miao say, "Madam Quan, please forgive my impertinence. On the matter of reprocessing the Revival Cream, if there’s anything I can assist with, no matter how hard it is, I’m willing to help."

Quan Jinbei coldly watched him show off his spirit of not fearing hardship or fatigue.

Little Shi Fan stared at him eagerly, thoroughly approving of his decision, "Brother Miao is such a good person. With your help, sister will definitely be happy."

Saying this, she turned to Shi Yaoguang and asked softly, "Sister, isn’t that right?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded.

The little one immediately smiled, his eyes curving into crescents.

Seeing him like this, Quan Jinbei couldn’t help getting irritated, and huffed coldly, "Is this task something you can just decide to do? If it were so simple, would you still need us?"

At those words, Zhan Miao’s smile froze in place.

He didn’t know how he had offended Quan Jinbei, but he could tell that Quan Jinbei seemed particularly annoyed with him.

Thinking this, he became uneasy and asked timidly, "Third Master, do you dislike me?"
