Chapter 199: Chapter 198: The Olive Branch of Mi Family

```

But she couldn’t explain why the wound had disappeared, so she couldn’t tell Si Yuting either.

After ending the communication, Qu Tong contacted Wan Huai and passed the information down the line.

Si Yuting looked at the extinguished light screen, his peripheral gaze catching the glass jar beside it.

The roses without water had withered, perhaps because the flowers had not fully bloomed, the petals had not fallen, and the shape was still pretty.

He stood up, took the glass jar, and fished out the unopened note within.

The delicate and cute handwriting was as lively and adorable as she herself.

[The flowers on Luyi Star have bloomed; I can take you to see the flower sea when there’s a chance.]

So... she hadn’t really written much, after all.

Recalling his own nervousness and worry at the time, he couldn’t help but laugh.

As Qu Tong was clearing messages, she found that Mi Nuo had looked for her, meaning to represent Mi Group in discussing a cooperation on Energy Fruits and Vegetables.

Qu Tong logged onto the star network and entered "Mi Group" in the finance channel.

Related introductions popped up quickly:

Mi Group, a 500-year-old family business, ranked third on the Empire’s financial charts, transitioned from government to business, owns an entire third-class star, multiple mineral resource stars, involved in a wide range of industries including tourism, live streaming, real estate, artificial intelligence, credit...

Qu Tong skimmed past the long list of industries owned, just owning an entire third-class star was enough to attract attention.

In recent days, she just happened to have read about this subject. The Empire has no shortage of private star owners, but most are remote stars and small planets outside of third-class. Basically, all stars that are ranked are owned by the nation.

To own a third-class star requires not only vast wealth but also sufficient political influence.

The entire Empire’s third-class star owners could be counted on one hand.

Qu Tong’s eyes shifted, and she replied to Mi Nuo: [Our farm’s yield isn’t very big at the moment; our capacity for cooperation is limited. For specifics, please discuss with my brother.]

Soon there was a reply from Mi Nuo: [Does that mean you agree?]

Qu Tong: [Yes.]

Mi Nuo: [Then I thank the Princess Consort in advance; finally, I won’t have to compete with a crowd of people anymore.]

Qu Tong took this opportunity to ask Mi Nuo for a favor.

This was the only person Qu Tong knew who could rival the Alchemist Association; she had to make good use of him.

Of course, out of fairness and voluntary principle, she would not let them suffer a loss.

But Mi Nuo did not agree straight away, instead proposing, "My father and brother would like to meet Miss Ali in person."

Qu Tong looked at the schedule for the next day and agreed, "I’ll ask her for you."

After ten minutes, she gave a positive reply and arranged a meeting place and time.

The next day, after finishing a Pharmacist class, Qu Tong drove the flyer she had bought for 200,000 to Milan Star.

Following the instructions, the flyer landed directly on the rooftop of Mi Group.

No sooner had she alighted from the flyer than she and a man found themselves staring at each other.

"Why is it you?"

Qu Tong raised an eyebrow and greeted frankly, "What a coincidence."

Mi Nuo scanned her with a puzzled look, tugging at Mi Qiu’s arm: "Have you met Miss Ali before?"

Embarrassed, Mi Qiu glanced at Qu Tong and muttered softly, "I once took a job in the black market, worked for half a month but then got reported by her. Later, I almost got reported by her classmate too."

```

Qu Tong chuckled, "I didn’t complain about you."

Mi Qiu’s eyes widened in despair, "Ah! No? Then didn’t I resign for nothing?"

Mi Nuo also remembered the past event and laughed heartily, apologizing to Qu Tong with great magnanimity, and incidentally scolded Mi Qiu a couple of times.

Mi Qiu didn’t dare to retort at all.

On the way to the president’s office, Mi Nuo recounted the whole story to Qu Tong.

Mi Qiu was Mi Nuo’s cousin, who liked to stay home and play games all day. After arguing with his parents and being called useless, he left home to prove he could fend for himself, taking a few bottles of Nutrient Solution with him.

In less than two days, he was boastfully showing off about finding an easy job, only to slink back home in less than half a month, complaining that he ran out of money for Nutrient Solution.

After explaining the reasons, he was ridiculed by the whole family for quite a while.

Not admitting defeat, Mi Qiu found another job on Capital Star. Although Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao didn’t file a complaint in the end, someone else did.

Mi Qiu was greatly affected and went back to Milan Star to inherit the family’s wealth, quietly studying in the company.

Qu Tong looked at Mi Qiu’s compliant demeanor and found it somewhat amusing.

Although Mi Qiu wasn’t Mi Nuo’s biological brother, both of their parents were high-level executives at Mi Group; growing up in such a privileged environment, he inevitably had the air of a young master. How could he endure the most challenging service industry?

Soon, Qu Tong was escorted into the luxuriously decorated president’s office; even the pot of Chunlan Tianyi flowers on the center of the desk was quite valuable.

A mature-looking young man with brown curly hair stood up and introduced himself, "Miss Ali, I’ve heard much about you. My name is Mi Fan. I am Mi Nuo’s brother and the streamer Rice Ball who has had contact with your potions before."

Qu Tong sized up Mi Fan, noting some differences from his online image. The one online looked younger, and his facial features were somewhat different, probably using beautifying filters or effects.

Indeed, a family with mines.

Qu Tong sighed inwardly but greeted him with composure and calm.

Mi Nuo’s father had to leave for an urgent matter, but Mi Fan could finalize the collaboration fully.

Mi Fan got straight to the point, "The favor Miss Ali asked us to do isn’t difficult, but we have some dealings with the Alchemist Association."

Qu Tong understood the implication and asked directly, "How many potions does the Alchemist Association provide for you every month?"

"Three Advanced Mind Stabilizing Potions," Mi Fan told her truthfully.

Qu Tong knew that if Mi Fan agreed to meet, he was likely looking for a new collaboration opportunity.

As Qu Tong suspected, Mi Fan continued, "If Miss Ali could supply us with three Advanced Mind Stabilizing Potions each month, we can help you for free and without leaving any trace."

Qu Tong said calmly, "I can supply the potions, but you have to make a choice, right? You can’t have both."

Mi Fan was taken aback, impressed by Qu Tong’s astuteness, and praised, "Miss Ali is a smart person."

Indeed, he had thought about not giving up on either side before; no one would complain about having too many potions. But now, he had no choice but to step back.

Although choosing Miss Ali was riskier, the rewards were high, and they wouldn’t have to be constrained everywhere. They had the capital to take risks; nothing ventured, nothing gained.

The win-win cooperation was naturally smooth.

Qu Tong didn’t mistreat the first one who reached out to her with an olive branch, prepaying them for their next month’s three Mind Stabilizing Potions.

Qu Tong’s potions were known for their excellent quality and reasonable price; Mi Fan didn’t even need to file a request and paid on the spot.

Before she left, Qu Tong also received apologies from Mi Qiu’s family, which were some Energy Herbs that she might need.

Qu Tong didn’t refuse and gave them a bottle of Energy Liquid as a token in return.

Within three days, the Mi Family proved their sincerity with practical actions.
