Logging 10,000 Years into the Future

Chapter 94

Chapter 94

He Ling Su also often saw her father, He Hezhi, hiding in the room alone and crying secretly while hugging her mother's photo. He didn't look like someone who had a bad marriage at all.

Come to think of it, during the two years after her mother left, her father would go on a long trip almost every year.

Every time he came back, he would be exhausted, depressed, and dishevelled. These doubts that were buried deep in her memory were almost forgotten by her.

Now that Lu Sheng had pointed it out, she felt a sense of dread when she connected the dots.

The most important point was …

The last thing Lu Sheng pointed out was the reason why the He Family's Xingshan Tang’s business collapsed so quickly.

It was like a ray of light that suddenly woke He Ling Su up.

Yes, the decline of Xingshan Tang seemed to have happened in the past ten or twenty years. It had started slowly when her father took over.

It had suffered a disastrous decline.

He Ling Su clearly remembered that at its worst, there were shops closing down almost every day for a few months.

Logically speaking, even if the business was not good and the products couldn’t compete, it should not have been so bad.

Moreover, she knew her father's ability. He should not have been so stupid and incompetent.

She thought about the time she had taken over the He family's business. She had been running around for the new medicines, but every time there was a good cooperation project, it would mysteriously fall through.

Take for example the time when she found the new supplement in Lu Sheng's hands a few months ago. The other party had promised to discuss cooperation with her, but while she was on the way, the other party suddenly changed his mind.

This was not the first time something like this had happened. It had too many such precedents.

He Ling Su had always thought that it was her bad luck, but now she understood. It turned out that everything was because there was a mastermind orchestrating it.

If it was really as Lu Sheng said, that it was her mother's doing … He Ling Su broke out in a cold sweat in broad daylight, and her hair stood on end.

Looking at He Ling Su's expression, Lu Sheng knew that she had believed most of it. He had found this information from the Fireseed Repository.

He had to admit that the Fireseed Repository was indeed powerful.

In the thick history books, a person or a family could be summarized by a sentence or even a punctuation mark. But because of the existence of the Fireseed Repository, this punctuation mark could be redefined to an exaggerated degree.

Lu Sheng raised his hand to call the waiter over and asked him to clear the table. He then ordered another twenty steaks, and his gaze fell back on He Ling Su.

"Miss He, please don't blame me for investigating too deeply and in detail. It is necessary to have a certain understanding of a possible long-term partner …"

He Ling Su took a deep breath and tried her best to calm down her turbulent heart.

"I'll verify Mr. Lu's words myself later. Let's talk about our cooperation."

"Sure."

Lu Sheng nodded, and then said straightforwardly, "I will be responsible for providing the prescription and the corresponding technical guidance. Xingshan Tang will be responsible for production and sales. In the end, I want 90% of the profits."

"90%?!"

He Ling Su almost jumped out of her chair.

He laughed coldly.

"Why doesn’t Mr. Lu ask for all of it?"

"I want to, but I'm afraid you won't agree."

"…"

He Ling Su was so angry that her chest heaved up and down.

Lu Sheng thought for a moment. "What is Miss He's expectation?"

"Sixty percent," He Ling Su said without hesitation. "Seventy percent at most."

"Of the extra twenty percent, ten percent is to guarantee a long-term cooperation, and the other ten percent is …" Lu Sheng smiled. "Additional payment for helping Miss He deal with problems."

"What do you mean?" He Ling Su said in a deep voice.

Lu Sheng skilfully called the waiter to serve another twenty steaks on the table. Then, he started chewing quickly and gracefully, one piece at a time.

He Ling Su's eyelids twitched. She had never seen anyone who could eat so much and eat so quickly, yet they didn't look displeasing at all.

"The He family has been bullied by the Chen family from the capital for so many years. Doesn't Miss He want to avenge the grievance? Even if you don't …"

Lu Sheng ate the steak in big bites, and occasionally took a sip of the lemonade on the table. "Can you be sure that they won't bully you in the future?" he said casually.

He Ling Su's expression changed drastically.

She didn't realize it at all. At this moment, she was completely immersed in this discussion, and was completely led by the young man who had been burying his head in eating his steaks.

"Fine. Even if I want to, what guarantee do I have that you can help me get justice from the Chen family?" He Ling Su asked coldly. She had almost admitted that everything Lu Sheng said about her mother was true.

When Lu Sheng heard this, he suddenly stopped what he was doing. He put down his knife and fork, picked up the napkin next to him, and carefully wiped his mouth.

Then he put his right hand in front of He Ling Su.

"Look here, Miss He." Lu Sheng said softly.

He Ling Su was stunned. She didn't know what Lu Sheng wanted to do.

But Lu Sheng's voice and movements seemed to contain some kind of special magic that made her eyes follow him unconsciously.

The next second, He Ling Su saw. The lemonade that she accidentally spilled on the table floated up bit by bit.

Like a scene from a sci-fi movie, it quickly condensed into a transparent ball of liquid under He Ling Su's eyes, and finally gathered in Lu Sheng's palm.

He Ling Su's eyes suddenly widened. She subconsciously wanted to cry out in surprise.

But Lu Sheng gently stopped her, and made a shushing gesture.

"Miss He should understand what this means, right?"

The ball of lemonade in Lu Sheng's hand turned into an irregular shape, suddenly boiled, and finally evaporated without a trace.

He Ling Su stared blankly as the ball of lemonade that disappeared in Lu Sheng's palm. And the tablecloth that was soaked by the lemonade was now clean, without a trace.

He Ling Su wasn't an ignorant woman. She knew that this wasn't magic, nor was it some kind of sci-fi trick, but it meant …

"You're a spiritual master." He Ling Su uttered the words with a wooden expression.

She re-examined Lu Sheng's information.

Seventeen years old, Level 2 Martial Artist. Best talent in Baihe city.

And now, he had the legendary talent of a spiritual master …

He Ling Su didn't know what to say. Even if she wasn't a martial artist, she knew the weight of this talent.

It was exaggerated.

Very exaggerated.

Outstanding talent, plus the shrewdness, wisdom, and methods that Lu Sheng had shown so far … In time, who knew how much Lu Sheng would grow?

"And …" Lu Sheng retracted his hand and said indifferently: "Miss He just alluded to something. It seems that Miss He doesn't think that I came up with this prescription on my own."

"How is that possible?" He Ling Su blurted out.

With such exaggerated martial arts talent, if he also had such outrageous talent in medicine … How was she supposed to live then?

Absolutely impossible.
