As the few people were observing, Shen Yingjun and his wife finally rushed over.
"Technician Zhang, how is it?"
Before even reaching the field, Shen Yingjun shouted as soon as he saw them.
"The effect is good, I think it should work."
"Great, I'll come over and take a look too."
Hearing this, Shen Yingjun finally believed it and hurried over to get a closer look.
"This waiting is agonizing! It's finally effective!"
"Little Xi, it's all thanks to you!"
After stepping forward and carefully observing for a while, Shen Yingjun confirmed that the plants could indeed be saved. He immediately turned around and cornered Qiu Xi, thanking her profusely.
Everyone clearly saw the relieved expression on his face.
"It's good if it works."
Qiu Xi also breathed a sigh of relief; she had been somewhat worried about the effect herself.
Shen Yingjun nodded repeatedly, "Useful, useful."
"Then, girl, can we discuss this formula when it's convenient for you?"
He was now eager to spray the potion all over his flower fields.
Now that he knew it was effective, if he could solve this problem soon, he could work with peace of mind.
"This, we can do it now."
She had prepared it while mixing the medicine and had it in her bag, just in case she was asked for it and had to make it again.
"Isn't it inconvenient right now? There's nothing here, and we can't even draft a contract."
After all, this was saving him a large sum of money, and he would have to pay something even if he bought the formula.
Moreover, she was a girl about his daughter's age, and his daughter's friend; he couldn't let her be at a disadvantage.
"Uncle Shen, consider this a free gift from me."
"That won't do! One should not accept rewards without merit, especially such a large one."
"No, I have conditions."
Qiu Xi felt that Uncle Shen was quite reliable upon hearing this.
So she continued, "If I'm not mistaken, with Uncle Shen's foresight, this flower field is not just for wholesale supply, right?"
With such a large piece of land and expensive varieties, if it remained only a wholesale operation, there wouldn't be much profit, to be honest.
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
Shen Yingjun appeared calm on the surface, but his mind was brimming with thoughts.
This young girl, how old was she, yet her mind was so sharp. She was truly talented.
"Uncle Shen, then I'll be straightforward. I have a formula from my master, and I'm looking for a partner for the future."
"Then why should I choose you specifically? I'm planning to develop it myself, and I'm not lacking in resources."
"That's not entirely correct! Let's not even talk about the research and development time and cost; I'm confident that the effect of my formula is better than yours."
At this critical moment, Qiu Xi held her ground and articulated her points well.
"Little girl, you certainly have a lot of nerve!"
Shen Yingjun had to admit that what the young lady said was absolutely right.
However, he also had his own concerns, "How can you guarantee that your formula will definitely work?"
"You don't need to worry about that, Uncle Shen. When your flowers are all recovered, I believe your equipment should also be ready. I'll come over then."
Qiu Xi knew that businessmen were often cautious, but she wasn't afraid, especially since this was a system-produced product!
What she wanted now was a promise. Once the results were evident, she was confident that he would be tempted, and she would only make more profit from this deal.
"Alright! I promise you. If your results satisfy me then, we'll sign the contract immediately."
She could even guess his plans for purchasing machinery; she was indeed a far-sighted girl.
In fact, he had already started making arrangements. When the flower field encountered problems, he had even considered abandoning it. He hadn't expected this turn of events.
"Okay, Uncle Shen, then we have a deal, a gentleman's agreement?"
"Agreed! A gentleman's agreement!"
With everyone watching, Qiu Xi didn't bother with a written agreement.
If he went back on his word later, or if he still wasn't interested after seeing the finished product, then this partnership wouldn't be worth pursuing.
...
Only Shen Yan and Song Daiyao, watching from the side, felt that the scene was somewhat familiar.
It seemed like their milk tea shop's business development had evolved in a similar manner last year.
Shen Yan suddenly felt a moment of pity for her father, but it was fleeting. In a blink of an eye, she was looking at Qiu Xi with starry eyes.
In any case, her father was guaranteed to profit from this business, it was just a matter of how much.
Therefore, this did not diminish her admiration for Xiao Xi at all; it only made her admire her even more!
Song Daiyao had already envisioned the contract signing event that would happen soon.
Just like her father back then, he had been hesitant at first, but after the test results came out, he had eagerly embraced it.
Although it might sound a bit critical of her father, it was the truth.
So, after hearing their conversation, she merely glanced over without saying anything.
After their discussion, Qiu Xi casually handed over the formula she had written earlier.
"Here it is. Uncle Shen can show it to Technician Zhang first. The subsequent preparation will require a professional."
"Alright!"
Shen Yingjun nodded, he understood this.
"Come on, Old Zhang, let me show you first. I'll have someone prepare these materials right away, and let's try to get the potion sprayed as soon as possible."
"Certainly!"
Before Shen Yingjun's words even finished, he had already reached out and taken the paper.
She had been a bit impatient while listening to their conversation, but she wanted to save face for the boss.
Now that the boss had agreed, there was no need to be polite.
"Xiao Xi, can we go pick lemons now?"
Seeing that they had nothing else to do and had witnessed the excitement, the three girls asked Qiu Xi.
"Yes, why not?"
With the subsequent matters being handled by others, she was now free.
"Let's go, then let's set off quickly."
She had already been captivated by the lemons and various lemon delicacies that Xiao Xi had promised her yesterday.
"Are you girls going to pick lemons?"
Just as they were grabbing their things and preparing to leave, Shen Yan's father called out to them.
"Yes, Dad, do you need anything?"
"It's nothing major, just pick a few more. We're having a roast whole lamb tonight!"
"Dad! Are you serious?"
She had longed for this for a long time but had never succeeded.
Unexpectedly, thanks to Xiao Xi, she would be able to have it!
"What else could it be but true!"
"Hurry up and go, and come back early."
"Alright! As you command!"
Shen Yan, overwhelmed with joy, struck a pose before turning to pull the others and prepare to set off.
"Xiao Xi, thank you so much! My roast whole lamb~"
Not only Shen Yan, but Song Daiyao and Liang Yunfei were also a bit excited.
It wasn't that they had never eaten it before, but it had been a long time. After all, who would specifically go to eat roast whole lamb without a particular reason, and sometimes they might not even have enough people.
Moreover, doing it yourself in the countryside was somewhat different from going to a restaurant, and they were looking forward to it!
Qiu Xi was the most excited among them. Forgive this little "country bumpkin"; she had only seen cattle in her life.
As for sheep, she had only seen them in videos and photos, let alone eaten them.
Therefore, she was very much looking forward to the roast whole lamb tonight!
