After hanging up the phone, Lin Feng said to Tesla, "Old Buddy, I'm going out to meet someone. You stay here and think in the Magic Ring. I hope that by the time I finish meeting this person, you can bring out the Prescription."
"Hmph... meeting a woman is nothing to be embarrassed about," Tesla teased, having just been outside and knowing that Lin Feng had been on the phone with Liu Jing.
"Are you going to get it done or not?" Lin Feng was already used to Tesla's teasing. He had anticipated this kind of banter after hanging up, so he was completely immune to it and didn't take Tesla's remarks seriously. Instead, he asked.
"I bet I’ll have it ready before you even finish with that beauty, haha..." Seeing that Lin Feng was unfazed, Tesla stopped his pointless teasing and confidently stated.
"Haha... that's best. Alright, I'm off." Lin Feng had no doubts about Tesla's confidence; although sometimes he could be quite arrogant, he certainly had the ability to back it up.
Not needing to say anything more, since Tesla had already made his claim, Lin Feng felt at ease. After all, this Old Buddy had lived long enough not to deceive or play tricks on him. Lin Feng also didn’t think this Old Buddy needed to flatter him; if it wasn’t possible, he would be straightforward and say so without any roundabout talk.
With that in mind, Lin Feng left. He still needed to meet Liu Jing. Moreover, since he was asking for a favor, he naturally wanted to arrive early and show some so-called "gentlemanly demeanor," even though sometimes he felt that such demeanor couldn’t really fill one’s stomach.
Driving to the "old place," Lin Feng was relieved to find that Liu Jing hadn’t arrived yet. Since it was their usual spot, he chose the same seat they had occupied last time and sat down, ordering a cup of milk tea first.
At this time, milk tea wasn’t yet sold on street corners for two dollars a cup like in later years; it was still considered a novelty item. No wonder even a rich girl like Liu Jing enjoyed drinking it.
Soon enough, Liu Jing arrived, clearly having dressed up for the occasion. In any case, when Lin Feng saw her now, he couldn’t connect her appearance with the fact that she had just called him saying she had escaped from home.
"Haha... I might be late," Liu Jing said as she hurried over to Lin Feng.
"No, just in time. Come on, get me another cup of milk tea. Add some pearls," Lin Feng replied with a smile and ordered a cup of pearl milk tea for Liu Jing.
As for milk tea itself, that was one thing; adding some pearls—Black Pearls at that—was another. In truth, Lin Feng knew these were just made from starch; it was all in the name—calling them "Black Pearls" made them sound precious.
Of course, many people knew this fact as well, but there were still quite a few who didn’t.
For instance, Lin Feng once heard a funny story:
Once upon a time, there was a girl who loved beauty and longed to become a stunning beauty herself. In fact, she wasn't bad-looking, but her skin tone was a bit dark—not the kind of tan that is considered attractive, but rather a shade that affected her overall appearance.
This was the situation she worried about and wanted to change. Finally, she heard about a secret remedy that claimed eating pearls could help lighten her skin.
This news gave her great hope, so she began to research pearls every day—learning about their prices, medical benefits, and everything related to them. In the end, she was thrilled to discover that pearls could indeed help with skin whitening.
Thus, she became obsessed and started taking pearl powder daily.
However, despite her efforts, there was little noticeable improvement in her skin tone, and she found it hard to keep going.
One day, someone told her that Black Pearl had better whitening effects than regular pearls. This was undoubtedly good news for her.
The story concludes simply: the girl finally found a way to consume Black Pearl every day—through bubble tea, which contained many "Black Pearls." This was why she chose it.
From that moment on, she diligently drank three bottles of bubble tea each day for an entire week.
As a result, she successfully lightened her skin, especially her face, which became significantly whiter. However, the whiteness was more of a pale hue because bubble tea itself lacked nutritional value and drinking too much caused digestive issues, leading to an unhealthy pallor.
Needless to say, while her face was now white, it looked worse than before.
This is a little story that Lin Feng had heard in his past life. Seeing bubble tea now reminded him of it. However, he knew that Liu Jing liked bubble tea but also understood moderation, so he didn't bring it up.
Of course, Lin Feng refrained from mentioning this because he believed Liu Jing was aware of the ingredients in bubble tea; some things really didn’t need further explanation from him.
"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?" Liu Jing asked as she settled down and noticed Lin Feng lost in thought.
"Oh, nothing much. How many cups of milk tea are you planning to drink today?" Lin Feng asked naturally, wanting to change the subject from what he had been contemplating earlier.
The reason Lin Feng asked this was purely because it reminded him of the fun times he had shared with Liu Jing here before.
"Ha ha... Alright, no more jokes. What is it?" Liu Jing clearly recalled her previous experience with Lin Feng here, but she also remembered what Lin Feng had mentioned over the phone about needing her help.
"Ha ha... This matter isn't urgent. The main reason I asked you to come here today is to thank you. Thank you for thinking of notifying me in that situation; that is the most important thing," Lin Feng replied, not directly stating what he needed Liu Jing's help with.
"Oh, fine. I can feel your gratitude, alright? Just speak up; there's no need for us to be too polite," Liu Jing said, evidently having changed her attitude towards Lin Feng after this incident.
"Ha ha... Since you've said that, I would feel embarrassed not to be straightforward. Here's the thing: I've encountered a situation recently..." Lin Feng said, deciding not to beat around the bush any longer.
Next, Lin Feng explained the entire situation to Liu Jing. Since Liu Jing was willing to help him, he felt comfortable sharing everything with her, including his intentions regarding the prescription he had in hand—he did not hold back any details.
However, Lin Feng did conceal one thing: his feelings for Xiao Ling. He had vaguely mentioned these feelings to Chen Xinni last time but received a rather unfavorable response. Therefore, Lin Feng decided not to bring up his special feelings for Xiao Ling again to avoid further misunderstandings.
"Oh, so that's what it's about. Lin Feng, is there really such a prescription, and does it have no side effects?" Liu Jing, who had a natural talent for business matters, quickly grasped the situation and Lin Feng's intentions—ensuring that the other party gained nothing from it. However, as a woman, she naturally focused on another issue.
"Ha ha... Whether it truly has such effects can only be determined through experimentation. But since I, Lin Feng, intend to produce it for the market, it must be something without side effects. It's right for women to want beauty, but ensuring my clients' health is my principle," Lin Feng confidently assured her on this point.
In fact, while Tesla was conducting research, Lin Feng had already emphasized to them that he wanted this prescription to have absolutely no side effects; otherwise, he would prefer not to produce it at all.
This wasn't just about money; it was a matter of conscience for Lin Feng. Since there was a possibility of engaging in business related to pharmaceuticals, earning money with integrity was his goal.
Of course, pricing was another issue altogether. Since others could sell their products at high prices, Lin Feng was also willing to set a corresponding price for his genuine product.
However, at this moment, Lin Feng did not intend to profit from this prescription; he didn't want to get involved in pricing matters and trusted Su Rong would provide him with a satisfactory answer.
"That's good. I can help you with this matter, but I have two requests," Liu Jing said upon hearing Lin Feng's assurance and felt relieved.
"Okay, go ahead. I'll do my best to meet your requests," Lin Feng replied in surprise at how quickly Liu Jing agreed.
"First, I want to be present during the internal trials once this product is produced; second, I want to invest and you must give me a corresponding share of the profits from this product. How does that sound?" Liu Jing stated.
"Ha ha... I can certainly fulfill your first request, but as for the second one, I can only introduce you to Su Rong so you can get to know each other. As for the corresponding matters, you and she can discuss that. I'm just helping her out and not looking to profit from this, so I can't really say how much profit there will be for you," Lin Feng said straightforwardly.
"Ha ha... That woman named Su Rong must be very beautiful, right?" Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Liu Jing's eyes dimmed for a moment, but she still managed to smile and ask Lin Feng.
"She's alright," Lin Feng could only say this. He couldn't tell Liu Jing that the main reason he was helping Su Rong was because of Xiao Ling, so he let Liu Jing misunderstand.
"Okay, then I'll make sure to meet this woman," Liu Jing said, becoming interested in Su Rong after hearing Lin Feng's response.
"Sure, if you want to meet her, that's no problem," Lin Feng thought Liu Jing was just curious about what abilities Su Rong had that warranted his help. However, he couldn't reveal the real reason behind his assistance, so he could only respond with a wry smile.
Well, Liu Jing had agreed to help with this matter, but Lin Feng could sense that since he mentioned Su Rong, Liu Jing's smile had faded compared to before. He could only continue to smile wryly.
"Let's go. If possible, let me meet Su Rong now, okay?" Liu Jing took a few sips of milk tea. However, due to her poor mood, Lin Feng noticed that she wasn't enjoying the milk tea as much as last time and made a request to him.
"You're in such a hurry? Alright, I'll contact her," Lin Feng didn't expect Liu Jing to be so eager but ultimately agreed.
"Use your mobile phone to call her, and I'll listen in on the conversation." Seeing Lin Feng take out his mobile phone to dial Su Rong's number, Liu Jing made another request.
"Uh... okay." This time, Lin Feng truly felt something was off with Liu Jing. Why was she so anxious to communicate with Su Rong? But he really couldn't refuse her request; after all, she was supposed to meet Su Rong anyway. He just considered it an early introduction.
Lin Feng could only comfort himself like this.
