After the True Heiress Travels Back-Chapter 89: Live Streaming Company Claims Compensation
Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Live Streaming Company Claims Compensation
Shi Yaoguang took a bath and was ready to go downstairs for a meal.
Just as she reached the staircase, she was met by the butler, who was all smiles like a doting aunt.
As soon as he saw her, he approached her warmly and asked how she was doing, "Madam, are you up?"
Shi Yaoguang felt a bit uncomfortable under his overly enthusiastic gaze, "Butler, why are you acting so strange today?"
The butler chuckled and his face was enveloped in an utterly blissful expression.
"We will soon have a young master or young miss, how can I not be happy?"
Although the butler’s mumbling was not loud, Shi Yaoguang, with her sharp hearing and keen eyes, naturally heard it all.
After a brief pondering, she realized what the butler meant: "..."
How come the butler was already so genuinely looking forward to a young master or young miss when she had just discussed the idea of pretending to be pregnant with Quan Jinbei?
What she didn’t know was that the butler’s thoughts did not emerge without cause.
After all...
He had witnessed last night Shi Yaoguang boldly pulling Quan Jinbei up to the third floor.
And then, they didn’t come down the whole night.
A lone man and a single woman, alone in one room.
To say that they did not spend a passionate night together, the butler was a hundred times skeptical.
Thus...
The misunderstanding was born.
Luckily, Shi Yaoguang was not aware that the butler even had such an imagination, and she thought that over time, the butler would naturally come to understand her and Quan Jinbei’s situation.
After breakfast, Shi Yaoguang went to school.
It was uncertain whether Shi Yiqing was angered by Shi Yaoguang or she was too busy with her own affairs in the Rocket Class, but she didn’t appear in front of Shi Yaoguang for the whole day.
The troublesome Gao Wenlan from the special class had also not dared to make a move after having witnessed Shi Yaoguang’s martial prowess.
As a result, Shi Yaoguang spent the entire day quite leisurely.
In the meantime, she even devised a plan for medicine making.
The medicine she was using for the old master of the Zhan Family was called Revival Cream.
Revival Cream, as the name suggests, focuses on the "revival" aspect and has a very good effect on repairing body muscles.
Revival Cream originated from a certain lower martial world and was a sought-after healing medicine in the Jianghu.
Once she directly transmigrated as the young valley master of Divine Doctor Valley, she specifically researched various prescriptions passed down within the valley.
Latter when she went to the Cultivation World, she discovered that some medicines, when infused with a bit of Spiritual Power, could have doubled effects.
Since her physique at that time was not suitable for cultivation, she modified various kinds of drugs.
About Revival Cream again.
Upon investigation, she found that two ingredients in the cream had been lost in this world.
Luckily, there were other ingredients with similar medicinal properties that could serve as replacements.
After determining the recipe for Revival Cream, she planned to send the prescription to Zhan Miao.
Although, Quan Jinbei could also have someone make the ointment.
But she felt that was unnecessary.
Revival Cream would definitely be profitable if made.
However, by doing so, she felt like she would be gaining ill-gotten wealth.
Thinking about those retired veterans who suffered such injuries protecting their homeland,
having to spend a lot of money to buy the medicine from her in the end did not sit well with her conscience.
She was not keen on doing such immoral deeds.
Zhan Miao had never heard anyone say something like that before and couldn’t help but feel curious, "Mrs. Quan, your idea is quite peculiar."
Shi Yaoguang waved her hand dismissively, "You just need to hand over the formula and let those above test it out. If it’s feasible, then prepare for mass production."
Zhan Miao was confused, "But didn’t you say yesterday that the effects wouldn’t be very good?"
Shi Yaoguang nodded, "The results of such a product would indeed not be as good as the one I gave you, but... the materials that are missing are hard to extract, and until I can think of a solution, no one but me will be able to address that."
"Since Mrs. Quan, you are capable of doing so, may I trouble you to help?" Zhan Miao quickly tried to take advantage of the situation.
Shi Yaoguang gave a nod of assent, "If I didn’t want to help, I wouldn’t have mentioned it."
"However..."
Hearing that there was more to come, Zhan Miao immediately tensed up, "However, what?"
"I need to work in a place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converges."
"Ah?" Zhan Miao was a bit stunned.
What is this "place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converges"?
Shi Yaoguang glanced at her meaningfully, "You don’t need to worry about this for now, let’s talk about it after the medicine is developed."
Zhan Miao could only agree, yet she thought to herself, this talk of spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it’s as if it came straight out of a fantasy novel.
Shi Yaoguang handed the medicine formula to Zhan Miao, which relieved her of a burden.
Seeing that the half-month deadline was fast approaching, she had to check on Zheng Xiuxin’s condition.
She wondered how Zheng Xiuxin’s face was healing.
Before she could find time to look for Zheng Xiuxin, An Siqi was the first to cause trouble.
It turned out that the live streaming company An Siqi had signed with discovered she had been released from the detention center.
Thinking about how the company’s reputation had been damaged because of An Siqi, and how they lost more than half of their traffic, they wanted to seek compensation from her.
Of course, An Siqi wasn’t willing to pay up.
Even if she was willing, she didn’t have that kind of money.
The live streaming company was not an easy target; at the time of signing, they required the staff to sign a "confidentiality agreement."
In short, they had An Siqi’s vulnerability firmly in their grasp.
After agonizing for two days, she couldn’t bear it any longer and sought out Shi Yaoguang.
"Yaoguang, you must help me..."
An Siqi sold her plight with genuine emotion, "I don’t have a penny left now, and the live streaming company is threatening me with my photos, saying if I don’t pay up, they’ll ruin my reputation."
"Tell me, if my information gets exposed, how can I go on living?"
Shi Yaoguang ignored her tears and spoke very rationally, "When I didn’t bother with you before, didn’t you still come out of the detention center just the same?"
An Siqi’s face stiffened, and she stepped forward to grasp Shi Yaoguang’s arm, "That, that’s all in the past now, Yaoguang, you’re all I have now..."
"No," Shi Yaoguang stepped back, "I don’t want you anymore. If you have any problems, you should seek help from Shi Yiqing."
An Siqi looked troubled, "But Qingqing isn’t a real daughter of the Shi Family, what can she do for me?"
"That’s where you’re wrong."
Shi Yaoguang kindly pointed out, "Although Shi Yiqing doesn’t have the Shi Family blood running through her veins, she is indeed the daughter of the Shi Family."
"To be precise, I, the biological daughter, am the one who is not welcomed. You should know I haven’t returned to the Shi Family for a long time and no one from the Shi Family has come looking for me, so..."
"Compared to me, Shi Yiqing is more reliable."
Doubt flashed quickly in the depths of An Siqi’s eyes, "But..."
Shi Yaoguang cut her off, "There are no buts, you can go to whoever you want to, but don’t expect me to help you."
Having said that, she turned and walked away.
An Siqi stared at her retreating figure for two seconds, then let out a cold snort, "Fine, don’t help. What’s there to be so proud about? Just you wait, one day, I’ll make you regret it!"
