CHAPTER 857: CHAPTER 504 WAITING FOR HER

Huqishan Villa, the reception room, dishes are served one by one.

Jiang Ning reached for the grill, with five or six freshly grilled lamb chops plated delicately, accompanied by cherry tomatoes, lemon slices, and green grass leaves as garnish.

One end of the lamb chop was wrapped in foil.

The aroma was rich, Jiang Ning tried a piece, finding the taste quite rich, aromatic and very crispy, thinking Tongtong would surely like it.

Shao Shuangshuang looked at the variety of dishes on the table, and she said:

"I once ate at a place that looked very fancy like this. It was just after graduation, I went with friends and spent over five hundred at an upscale restaurant, but it only looked good and didn’t taste as good as homestyle cooking from roadside eateries."

Jiang Ning: "This one is not bad."

Shao Shuangshuang, "Of course, this table costs at least fifty to sixty thousand."

She used only the finest ingredients and asked the chef not to overdo it with fancy presentations, but to cook everything to her taste, which is why it tasted good.

Jiang Ning: "Fifty to sixty thousand... never had such an expensive meal before."

Shao Shuangshuang: "I haven’t either."

Though she manages the vast Evergreen Liquid, she usually eats at the internal canteen, rarely attending dinners outside, and most of her partners in various collaborations don’t make things difficult for her.

However, during the expansion of Evergreen Liquid, due to Shao Shuangshuang’s young beauty, she naturally faced some targeting, like when Evergreen Liquid entered a new market, the local head hinted at her having to attend dinners, drink, and even open rooms for business discussions.

Shao Shuangshuang naturally refused and had her team investigate the other party’s dirt, using it to settle things.

However, there were also people she couldn’t handle, which once caused a bottleneck in the development of Evergreen Liquid, but later she told Jiang Ning about the difficulties, and the next day that person agreed.

"How do you plan to price Mu Changqing?" Shao Shuangshuang asked.

Jiang Ning finished the lamb chop and sipped his tea: "Mu Changqing’s cost is cheaper than Evergreen Liquid."

The efficacy of Mu Changqing’s spiritual liquid was quite decent. Once in the Cultivation World, there existed a sect with a heritage of thousands of years. Their in-house Alchemist accidentally researched a spiritual liquid that, when applied to the eyes over time with the sect’s founder’s unique cultivation technique, could cultivate the Spiritual Eye Divine Power, rumored to see through all worldly illusions.

Unfortunately, when Jiang Ning descended upon their sect, in a duel, the Spiritual Eye didn’t play much of a role.

The secret formula of their spiritual liquid and that Divine Power were both claimed by Jiang Ning.

In the present world, the water Jiang Ning used to configure the spiritual liquid came from Qingyu Lake, drawn through a Spiritual Power Formation, combined with mass-cultivated spiritual materials to refine, named ’Mu Changqing.’

The effect of Mu Changqing was much weaker than the sect’s spiritual liquid, equivalent to a diluted version, even with the cultivation technique it couldn’t cultivate the Spiritual Eye Divine Power.

If ordinary people acquire the spiritual liquid and drop it in their eyes, it nourishes the eyeballs, revitalizing and restoring the elasticity of stiffened and solidified eyes to their original state.

It involves the eyeball, ciliary muscle, lens suspension ligament, and lens, solving the problem of myopia.

Due to Mu Changqing’s permeability, five minutes after penetrating the eyeball, vision can be restored to peak condition, then gradually decline over time, returning to its previous state after a month.

Shao Shuangshuang did not answer the pricing question first, she said: "Do you know about Corneal Shaping Lens?"

Jiang Ning: "Tell me about it."

Shao Shuangshuang introduced: "The Corneal Shaping Lens is a current measure to correct vision. Myopia patients wear it before sleeping. The Corneal Shaping Lens has a shaping function, pressing the cornea into a normal refractive state through its form."

"Wearing the Corneal Mirror at night, one can have normal vision throughout the day."

"In comparison, Mu Changqing has a similar effect, except Mu Changqing is enough to maintain the effect for a whole month."

"However, the shortcomings of the Corneal Mirror are too many, costing several thousand to over ten thousand, with a normal usage lifespan of a year and a half. Additionally, wearing the lens is difficult, causing severe foreign body sensation discomfort, easily leading to corneal edema, inflammation, eye infections, even scratching the eye, affecting vision, causing blurriness, and creating irreversible damage."

She spoke clearly, summarizing: "Currently, in this regard, there’s nothing in the market that can compete with Mu Changqing. It’s unique, so a higher price point is totally fine."

Jiang Ning: "What’s your opinion?"

Shao Shuangshuang, with her slender fingers, peeled the shrimp and placed it in the small bowl in front of Jiang Ning instead of eating it herself.

She said, "500 per drop."

Jiang Ning raised his eyebrows: "People have two eyes."

Shao Shuangshuang, in her serene smile, held a trace of mischief: "So it’s best to buy two drops."

"If economic conditions don’t allow, having one eye restored to normal vision can also rid someone of glasses. Many people have 400-degree myopia in one eye with normal vision in the other."

Jiang Ning: "After applying Mu Changqing, vision returns to normal the same day, continuously deteriorating within a month; the most secure solution is actually two drops of Mu Changqing per eye, totaling four drops for both eyes each month."

Calculating it this way, if one wants full vision, paying two thousand yuan every month is almost unaffordable for ordinary people."

"Even choosing the one-eye mode requires one-thousand yuan per month."

Shao Shuangshuang said earnestly: "You can buy two drops, the first drop for the right eye, and the second drop for the left eye half a month later."

Jiang Ning: "You’re becoming more like a businesswoman."

Shao Shuangshuang felt no burden: "The money is earned from the wealthy and foreigners."

"Besides, Mu Changqing is worth the price."

Compared to international luxury goods with no cost-effectiveness, Mu Changqing has real efficacy, it’s truly a conscientious product.

...

Evening, 6 P.M.

The sun had shone brilliantly all day, slowly retreating, while the smoked-pink sunset gradually painted the sky.

Xue Yuantong sat on a small stool, watching the breathtaking sunset.

A black electric scooter slowed down, Xue Yuantong jumped up: "Chuchu, Chuchu, you’re done with school!"
