Chapter 498 – Selling Hardcover Editions
"Huh?" Xiaoxiao's eyes went wide as she looked at her father in disbelief. "What … What did you say?"
"What I mean is, Xiaoxiao, you're not young anymore, you should find a boyfriend, right?" Tianlong coughed, feeling that this wasn't the right time to talk about this with his daughter, but he had to!
Because of Xiaoxiao's special condition, Tianlong couldn't help but have this thought! Other parents didn't want their children to fall in love early, let alone have a child out of wedlock, but Tianlong wanted his daughter to give him a child as soon as possible!
In truth, Tianlong knew deep down that there was no way to cure his daughter's illness. Even if he ran all over the place, the chances were slim! Even if a miracle doctor were to appear, extending her life by a few years would be the most he could do. A full recovery was a pipe dream!
This was why Tianlong was so desperate for his daughter to get a boyfriend. He wanted to see his daughter's life continue, and he didn't care about anything else right now.
"Um … There's no need for that, right?" Xiaoxiao was even more embarrassed. "I … Why would I get a boyfriend?"
"I won't say much about that, just take care of yourself!" Tianlong smiled and drove away.
After dropping Xiaoxiao off at the hotel, Tianlong said a few words and quickly drove away. The people there were waiting for him, so Tianlong had to leave first.
Xiaoxiao was alone in the hotel, thinking about what her dad had just said. What did he mean? Supporting her to get a boyfriend? Xiaoxiao felt that it was odd. She wasn't even at the age to get married yet …
Ah! Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered her special condition. Wasn't her mother the same age when she gave birth to her? Xiaoxiao's hereditary condition was rather weird. It was only passed down to females, not males. If it was a boy, it wouldn't be a problem, but it was a girl. She remembered hearing her father talk about her mother when she was young, and it seemed like her grandpa was in a rush to get her mother to be with her father, and the two didn't even register their marriage before they had her.
But her father was a devoted man, and didn't remarry after all these years. Her father was probably thinking the same thing as her grandpa back then, right? Xiaoxiao shook her head. But times had changed, and she was still a high schooler. Getting a boyfriend and having a child? Wouldn't that be a little weird?
Xiaoxiao had never thought about this before, because as far as she was concerned, in her short life, friendship didn't exist, and love didn't exist!
Xiaoxiao didn't want to get involved with anyone, and she didn't need other people's sympathy. She didn't want the pain of death! Therefore, in the past 18 years, she had no close friends, only a group of scoundrels! She had never fallen for a boy because she didn't want to face that kind of unbearable pain.
But Tianlong's words made Xiaoxiao fall into deep thought for the first time. Find a boyfriend? Can I? Can I like others too?
Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly and shook her head. Who would like her? Finding a girlfriend like me who's about to die, isn't that just bad luck from eight lifetimes? Before he could do anything, he was already gone …
Huh? Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of Lin Yi! If that was the case, Lin Yi would fall in love with her. Even if she didn't dump him, he would still be in pain, right? With that thought, Xiaoxiao made up her mind …
"Second Uncle, Lai Changyi and the others left …" The young man who was bidding against Fatty Lai for the sheepskin map said quietly into his earpiece.
"Kun, follow them and see which hotel they're staying at. Then find out who that young man with Lai Changyi is!" The middle-aged man beside Haitian ordered.
"Yes!" The young man called Little Kun nodded. After exiting the auction house, his figure flashed and disappeared into the boundless night.
Fatty Lai didn't have a car in Yanjing, and the hotel they were staying at wasn't too far from the auction hall. It was only about a kilometer on foot. Fatty Lai might be fat, but he had a good body. Guan Xuemin had a healthy body, and taking a stroll once in a while was good for his health. Lin Yi was even better.
So the three didn't take a taxi, but walked to the hotel. It was a good opportunity for some exercise, and they could get some supper at the hotel's restaurant.
"Boss, have you thought about what we're going to auction?" Fatty Lai reminded Lin Yi, afraid that he'd forgotten about the auction, Fatty Lai was still thinking about the auction again.
"I haven't thought about it yet." Lin Yi frowned, deep in thought. Doctor Kang was auctioning off the special edition of Golden Creation. If he were to take out a special edition injury medicine as well, he'd be following the trend …
"Boss, I think we should make a special edition injury medicine as well. They have it, and we have it too. It'd save us the trouble!" Fatty Lai suggested, seeing that Lin Yi was in a difficult position.
"Isn't that following the trend? Wouldn't we be at a disadvantage? "Lin Yi asked.
"That … Boss! I don't have a choice. We're still in the early stages of our company, and I don't plan on releasing too many types of medicine. The Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing is enough. If we release too many types of medicine, we won't be able to showcase the benefits of our medicine and painkillers. Plus, we need to slowly reveal our trump cards. Bringing them out all at once isn't in line with our business goals, "Fatty Lai said.
"Then let's make it a special edition injury medicine!" Lin Yi nodded, already having a plan in mind. "Our special edition injury medicine is different from Doctor Kang's. I've added a few herbs into the medicine, and it's very effective on old scars. It can quickly remove rot and regenerate flesh!"
"Huh?" Fatty Lai's eyes widened, looking at Lin Yi in disbelief. "Boss, is there really such a miraculous medicine?"
"It's not that miraculous, it's just adding a few other herbs on top of the injury medicine. It's just that the cost is much higher." Lin Yi shrugged as he spoke calmly.
"Um … It's fine if the cost is a little higher. It's a premium product, and we won't add the normal version," Fatty Lai said. "According to the price of the special edition Doctor Kang's Golden Creation every year, a box is worth more than 500,000!"
"Oh? That's quite high. It's definitely enough to cover the cost! "Lin Yi was surprised. A box of Golden Creation could sell for 500,000?
