Chapter 153: Zhang Fu

Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Zhang Fu

Gu Jin’s expression softened as she listened to Song Hancheng’s words. She realized that her actions had unintentionally created a sense of imbalance in their friendship.

"How about this, once you become powerful, you protect me." Gu Jin said to lighten Song Hancheng’s mood.

She had observed that Song Hancheng’s luck was very good. He would always unconsciously encounter good opportunities.

Such a type of person should always be kept close. If someday Gu Jin was in dire need of protection she would follow him.

After all her luck was...

Gu Jin shook her head and changed the topic,

"Okay, where is the account book?"

Song Hancheng felt a bit indecisive and stood there for a long time before coming to his senses and saying,

"It is in the third drawer."

In his heart, he was so touched that he almost wanted to cry.

His boss is so good to him!

He vowed to protect his handsome boss once he became powerful!

Gu Jin smiled and nodded, heading over to the drawer indicated by Song Hancheng. She opened it and found the account book neatly organized inside.

"Thank you," she said, flipping through the pages to check the recent transactions.

As she went through the accounts, Gu Jin couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

Despite the challenges they faced, the business was thriving, thanks in no small part to Song Hancheng’s hard work and dedication.

"Everything looks good," Gu Jin remarked, closing the account book and turning to face Song Hancheng.

"You’ve been doing an excellent job managing the shop in my absence."

The store had made a profit of 13 million in the past one week.

After cutting down all the dividends she had to give the elders of the alchemy tower and Song Hancheng’s commission as well as salary, the profit was reduced to 9.6 million.

However, to Gu Jin, this amount was still good.

Just then she heard Song Hancheng say,

"Boss, can you increase the amount of the pills to be sold? With each passing day, many customers are coming inquiring about them.

If we increase the stock, we can make more profit. Not to mention many customer wants to buy the pills, but before they reach the store, all the pills are already sold."

Gu Jin nodded in agreement, recognizing the demand for their product.

"You’re right, Hancheng. We need to meet the demand and capitalize on the interest in our pills. I’ll work on expanding our production capacity and securing a larger supply of ingredients."

In fact, she was thinking of how to sell the pills in her hands and now she got the excuse to take out the huge amount of pills that was lying in the space.

As if remembering something, Gu Jin took out another box and passed it to Song Hancheng,

"From tomorrow onwards we will also sell Yellow Rank pills."

"This..." Song Hancheng was shocked.

"I will give you the price. However, before that provide the sample to our regular customers and don’t charge them any money for those sample pills, understood?"

Song Hancheng came out of his daze and asked with disbelief,

"Boss, have you reached Yellow Rank in alchemy already?"

Gu Jin glanced at him in disdain and said,

"How can a person leap through Alchemy Ranks in just 1 week? These pills are made by a master."

She lied so effortlessly, that Song Hancheng felt he had turned dumb.

With a silly grin plastered on his face, Song Hancheng said with admiration,

"Boss your master is a Yellow Rank alchemy master? How amazing!"

A Yellow Rank alchemy master was equivalent to a Super Mage in the Magic world.

Both of them received an equal amount of respect!

If a person claims to have a connection with the Yellow Rank alchemy master, he could be declared a resourceful and high-class person.

The admiration in Song Hancheng’s eyes overflowed and he thanked god repeatedly in his mind.

If he hadn’t accidentally used those pills, he wouldn’t have spoken up for Gu Jin!

If he didn’t get to know Gu Jin, he wouldn’t be able to land such a high-paying job!

If he didn’t have known Gu Jin, he would still be the person who struggled daily, fighting to make a way for himself with no backing.

But now...

Song Hancheng was filled with pride!

He wasn’t going to bug Gu Jin to help him every time, but now he was assured that no one would bully him!

"He isn’t at Yellow Master Rank." Gu Jin said calmly.

Song Hancheng was disappointed but thinking carefully, if Gu Jin’s master was indeed at Yellow Rank why would he sell his pills at the store?

Then he heard Gu Jin say,

"His rank is upper than Yellow Rank. When he was in Yellow Rank he had made a lot of pills and even after distributing them for a long while, he wasn’t able to finish it up so he asked me to take away the pills and sell them.

For him, these Yellow Rank pills were nothing but trash."

Gu Jin was sure that within a year or two she would be able to reach Black Rank.

At that time she would again change the quality of the pills, if she said that her master advanced from Yellow Rank to Black Rank it would seem far-fetched.

It is better if she doesn’t mention the rank.

Song Hancheng: "..." Why don’t you complete your line once and for all!

However, currently, he was so surprised by the fact that Gu Jin was associated with an Alchemist above Yellow Rank that he ignored all other thoughts.

Gu Jin shook her head when she saw Song Hancheng’s shocked expression, she wanted to tell him that she was associated with three black Rank Alchemists not just one.

Does Song Hancheng think that he could easily run the shop without being attacked by the other shop?

Nope!

One of the reasons why other startup alchemist shops don’t succeed is because famous or established pill stores attack them.

Who would like their customer to be snatched?

The reason why they haven’t attacked Gu Jin’s shop is because of two reasons.

First Gu Jin had attracted only a small amount of customers. Second, Gu Jin’s shop was associated with Alchemy Tower, so there was hardly any shop that would dare to cause trouble to her shop.

However, it doesn’t mean that no one would cause trouble.

So Gu Jin was trying her best to become powerful.

After delivering Song Hancheng the pills, she asked him to deliver the dividends to the Elders of the Alchemy Tower.

She then left for school.

It was one thing that there was hardly anything left that Magic School could teach her and it was another thing to obtain the certificates stating she had completed her school.

On the way, she saw that the student today kept on whispering something, and had a gloomy and fearful look on their face.

Curious Gu Jin deliberately slowed down to hear their conversation.

"So it is true that some of those orphans are missing and the Genius Mage Zhang Fu is missing too?"

Gu Jin raised an eyebrow.

Of course, she knew about Zhang Fu. He was a genius mage who awakened dual elements at once.

The reason why Gu Jin knew about him was because she was curious about her own unique body and wanted to know more people who have abilities similar to her and hence she kept her ears whenever any unique elemental awakened was mentioned.

Zhang Fu was one of them and Gu Jin had deliberately trailed him and tried to communicate him with.

She can’t say Zhang Fu was a rude guy, but he wasn’t a friendly person either.

However, after trailing him behind for 2 days, Gu Jin came to know that he was able to awaken two elements because of his parents.

It turns out that the place where his parents conceived him was a magical area that had the power to enhance the magic potential of the fetus.

This made Gu Jin question whether she was born in that magical area too.

Gu Jin later got to know that the reason why Zhang Fu’s parents were allowed in that magic area was because they had paid 1 billion yuan and that was too for just 1 hour.

It could be said that Zhang Fu had dual elements because of his rich family background.

As for Gu Jin. Well according to her, her so-called parents were poor.

Otherwise, why would they leave their own daughter to fend for herself at such a young age?

So Gu Jin gave up on Zhang Fu and ignored him.

But now hearing all those gossips, Gu Jin was curious...what do they mean by Zhang Fu is missing?

A sense of caution appeared in Gu Jin’s eyes.

After all, anyone with a brain could analyze that only people with good magic potential were targeted.
