"Isn't it because you were willing? If you weren't, how could he have gotten it!?" Grandpa Bi poked her head. Ji Xingmi rubbed her head where she'd been poked and hummed softly, then sat down beside the two elders.
Gu Zhongli, recalling what the little fox had just said, grew serious and asked, "What's the situation with that matter you mentioned? Tell me about it!"
"Let Yu Ge tell you. He's good at explaining this!" Ji Xingmi gave Ye Yu a 'your turn' look.
Ye Yu didn't shy away and recounted the entire incident that day. After listening, Gu Zhongli clenched his fists. He never imagined his sister-in-law could do something like that. Why should the little fox apologize? They should be the ones apologizing. And what was up with that Gu Jingyi? Couldn't even handle such a small matter properly?
Ji Xingmi was unaware of what her paternal uncle was thinking. She was currently whispering with the two elders!
"What are your thoughts on the hemostatic powder?"
"Grandpa said back then that he was afraid people would have ill intentions and it couldn't be given away casually. In the current situation, the military would definitely be affected, or Grandpa wouldn't have gone to the countryside."
"And now? Are you willing to give it away?" This was asked by Elder Ye.
"Don't I have you here!"
"Oh? So you're planning to rely on me now? When did you start having this idea?"
"I didn't! Grandpa Ye, don't accuse me~ I didn't even think of this matter until Uncle Gu didn't come today!" Ji Xingmi truly hadn't recalled it, and even if she had, she wouldn't admit it at this time.
"So what do you want now? Have you thought it through?"
"I still want to do business with the country. I feel neither the military alone nor other channels are ideal!" This time, even Grandpa Bi sat up straight. Uncle Gu also paused his conversation and looked at Ji Xingmi.
"Oh? Then how do you want to do this business?" The most composed person here was Elder Ye, who was calmly sipping his tea.
"I can provide the formula. I have two conditions!"
"What conditions?"
"My first condition is that for use by active military personnel, it will be free of charge!"
"That's a given."
"Second, I want to apply for a patent, and I want ten percent profit from this prescription!"
"That's a bit too much!"
"It's not a lot. I can give you two formulas. One formula can be kept confidential and only provided to the military. The other formula can be used to trade for things. Of course, its effect won't be as good as the first one, but it will certainly be better than all current hemostatic drugs!"
"Does this ten percent you're asking for apply only domestically?"
"Of course~ Otherwise, why would I offer two formulas? There's no need to give others the best one; good enough will suffice. They won't be able to replicate it in a short time, so it will definitely be profitable. Of course, I want profits for a hundred years!"
"Ten percent is too much, and it's not good for you either!" Elder Ye thought about it. It was indeed a good idea, but the profit-sharing was still a bit too high.
"Then seven percent!"
"Are you treating this like buying groceries?" Elder Ye directly flicked her forehead.
"Weren't you bargaining with me? I have to leave myself some room to maneuver!" Ji Xingmi rubbed her head where she'd been hit and muttered softly.
"Three percent! No more!"
"Hmph! I've decided!" Just as everyone thought she would refuse, they saw her change the subject. "Yu Ge, you still have to pay for a room, and you have to pay for your meals too!"
Everyone burst into laughter. They thought she was going to do something else! Ji Mingxue's heart had been in his throat.
"If your Grandpa Ye isn't making money for you, why are you taking it out on your Yu Ge?" Grandpa Bi spoke at this moment.
"I can't beat Grandpa Ye!"
"Hahahaha, it's fine, it's fine. I'll have Yu Ge pay your meal expenses too!"
"Really? Thank you, Grandpa!"
"Little Star, Dad won't charge you!"
"Dad, you're so stupid. Anyone who doesn't make money is a bastard!"
"Hahahaha~"
Everyone was amused by her eccentric logic again. Ji Xingmi felt speechless seeing them all laughing. Had she said something wrong? No, right? Who would dislike money! Moreover, she had lost a lot of little money, being cut from ten percent to three percent! And she couldn't complain! She couldn't even throw a little tantrum. She hadn't even charged for treatment or medicine yet. They were all bad people, wanting to take advantage of her. Next time, she needed to guard her pockets more tightly.
