The Marshal’s Wife is Wild

Chapter 29: Chapter 28 This is What Qu Tong Should Think About Chapter 29: Chapter 28 This is What Qu Tong Should Think About Gong Yun saw Qu Tong’s expression that brooked no negotiation and quickly explained, “Miss Jun Li misunderstands. There are things Miss Jun Li might not know. The Alchemist Association’s intermediate Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion is 200,000 each, and your potion’s efficacy far exceeds 200,000. Since we intend to cooperate sincerely, we certainly won’t take advantage of Miss Jun Li. Therefore, Miss Jun Li can reprice it, and we will consider it appropriately.”

Gong Yun only said the potion was worth more than 200,000, but he did not specify. As long as the other party’s price is reasonable, they won’t refuse.

This is also for the sake of long-term cooperation. After all, signing with a price of 200,000 without knowing the medicinal value may face the risk of contract termination at any time.

It’s better to give the pricing power to the other party.

Qu Tong, hearing this, breathed a sigh of relief; it wasn’t about cutting her money, after all.

She had no intention of profiteering, and readily said, “The price is still 200,000 each.”

“My master can only produce 100 of these potions every month, so we can only supply you with 50 every month. The other 50 will be sold in my shop.”

“No problem,” Gong Yun agreed almost without hesitation.

This was already much better than he had anticipated.

Initially, he thought the other party could at most provide about 20, considering the many people in the Alchemist Association only supply 200 high-grade potions to the military department a month.

Just the six large Legions along with the Royal Army amount to a total of 700,000 people.

As for Qu Tong wanting to sell in her own shop, he had no objections at all. Besides military exclusives, ordinary citizens also need them.

After Si Yuting added the price and this clause, the two parties formally reached a cooperation.

Qu Tong finished her coffee and left directly.

Before leaving, as she lifted her hair by her ear, she did not forget to glance at Si Yuting at her side.

Cold and terse.

She couldn’t help but start wondering, how would one get along with such a man as a husband.

Si Yuting sharply perceived Qu Tong’s gaze and his stern eyes looked directly back.

Qu Tong tilted her head, lifting a faint smile.

This was something for Qu Tong to consider, what did it have to do with her, Jun Li?

Getting enough sleep is what’s important.

Gong Yun and Si Yuting returned to the Special Police Squad.

The two of them watched the interrogation process of Jun Li from yesterday. Apart from all the nonsense and nearly dozing off, there was nothing abnormal.

Si Yuting today had also noticed the bracelet on Qu Tong’s wrist. The color of the water was very good, a collector’s level treasure; in the middle of the bracelet, there was a tiny flower like a lotus, trailing a long tail, with a piece of dark leaf.

“Report back on her movements afterward,” Si Yuting paused the interrogation video and said to Feng Haoran.

“After leaving, Miss Jun Li checked into the Presidential Suite at the Mi Style Hotel and has not come out yet.”

Feng Haoran reported dutifully and didn’t forget to add his conjecture, “The surveillance in the hallway hasn’t captured any activity; she’s probably sleeping.”

Si Yuting nodded, signaling Feng Haoran to leave.

Only after Feng Haoran left did Gong Yun start laughing without concern for his image.

“Yuting, although we are soldiers, used to killing Insect Clans and Star Beasts with an iron will, we should still show a bit of humanity. That girl is only so old, and after you brought her for interrogation last night, it was already 3 a.m. by the time you let her go back to the hotel. How could she sleep well in the police station? No wonder she messaged me early in the morning to come get her out,” Gong Yun said.

Si Yuting replied coldly, “I didn’t stop her from going back to the hotel.”

“Cut it out, you ran off in the middle of the night and Feng Haoran, a mere captain of the Special Police, dares to let the person you personally brought back go?” Gong Yun gave him a sidelong glance and shook his head.

Si Yuting fell silent.

Gong Yun made the reclined chair back rise up, took a sip of the brewed strong tea, and asked with complete composure, “What do you think?”

“Miss Jun Li is not weak,” Si Yuting stated objectively.

At least not weaker than a psychic with a physique of S-rank.

But the rank listed on her basic information is A.

“Her master can even develop Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion, so it should be easy for him to improve her physique as well,” Gong Yun wasn’t overly suspicious.

“Regardless of whether Miss Jun Li is trustworthy or not, just because she can provide us with Spirit Power Stabilizing Potions, we cannot conflict with her without a good reason, and we even need to protect her. You are not unaware of how important Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion is to our army,” Gong Yun said.

“I know.”

Si Yuting certainly knew, the army amassed a great number of talents with high-grade physiques, the higher the physical grade the stronger the spiritual power, increasing the chances of a Mental Outburst, and their battles with the Insect Clan and Star Beasts meant they frequently used their spiritual power, elevating the risk even further.

Gong Yun pulled out three potions and handed them to Si Yuting, “They’ve been tested, and the effects are better than those of the Alchemist Association’s. Give priority to those with high physique levels or a high risk of outburst, you decide on the distribution.”

After finishing, Gong Yun looked at Si Yuting and continued, “It should have some effect on you as well, but it has not yet reached the level of a Special-grade Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion.”

Without saying much else, Si Yuting nodded and took the potions.

Capital Star
Xu An, holding the printed job advertisement, walked through the bustling campus with a dejected look.

This was the fourth school he had visited.

Not every school had the credentials to offer a major in planting, and given the high investment cost in the discipline itself, schools that did offer it were invariably elite institutions.

Some schools wouldn’t even let him in because he was hiring privately.

In schools that begrudgingly let him in, the graduates would barely give a glance when they saw it wasn’t some big corporation or even a small company, just a private recruitment, without asking a single question. The more excessive ones would even come up and mock him.

Even though the salary he offered was higher than the standard level of agricultural institutes, it did little to engender trust.

Out of the few who believed him, Xu An’s assessment revealed that they were only attracted by the high salary, their professional knowledge so lacking that Xu An wondered whether they really studied in the planting major.

Even with his superficial understanding, having only crammed at the last minute, they stumbled over the questions he asked, all the while with a disdainful attitude.

Of course, Xu An was unwilling to settle.

Moreover, his sister had said, they should find someone of good character.

Those with an over-inflated ego and an unsteady disposition clearly did not qualify.

He planned to try his luck at several other first-level planets in the vicinity tomorrow—the task his sister had asked for his help with was something he had to accomplish, no matter what.

Contemplating the setbacks of the last few days, Xu An wasn’t paying attention for a moment and was bumped into by someone coming head-on.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to,” the other party apologized frantically, still gasping, as if they had rushed back from outside the school in a hurry.

Xu An merely swayed slightly, quickly steadying his body, while the job advertisement he held was knocked from his hand. In contrast, the person facing him, due to the reactive force, fell down sitting, scattering a large pile of documents everywhere.

The young man didn’t bother about his own papers, apologizing while first gathering Xu An’s belongings.

“I’m really sorry, I was walking too hastily just now.”
