Chapter 428: 282 Mysterious Professor Returning from Overseas_2
Shen Zhiqiao choked, thinking that Xia Ye wouldn’t dare to accept her bet, but it turned out the latter hadn’t listened to a single word!
Oh well, she would soon silence Xia Ye with facts. For now, Shen Zhiqiao had no choice but to repeat her previous words, "In any case, if you lose, you can no longer sell those fake remedies in Capital City. As for what you’ll get if you win, you can decide."
Fake remedies?
The ancestors are getting angry.
She had only been teasing her great-granddaughter for fun, but now that her great-granddaughter had put it that way...
Xia Ye raised an eyebrow, "Fine, then if I win, not only can I continue to sell medicines, but you also have to help me sell them, at least one bottle per month in sales, deal?"
Her teasing tone provoked laughter among the researchers.
Shen Zhiqiao pursed her lips fiercely. She, a legitimate missy trained in Western medicine, help sell fake remedies?
No one had ever dared to mock her like this.
But now, if she didn’t agree, others would definitely think she was afraid of losing.
"No problem," Shen Zhiqiao agreed swiftly.
Xia Ye curved her lips in satisfaction and lightly shook the cage in her hand towards Shen Zhiqiao. Inside, the plump little white mouse was squatting at the bottom of the cage.
It had no idea it was about to strike it lucky!

When Xia Ye returned to her dormitory that evening, she had an extra mouse cage in her hand.
She took the poor little thing for a tour around the Beijing University campus, including meeting the campus’s internet famous big ginger cat, Angelina.
Angelina eyed the little white mouse in the cage, her eyes flashing green with hunger, saliva dripping uncontrollably.
Beijing University paid great attention to campus hygiene, and not a single mouse was to be found. It had been a long time since she’d had meat.
Then she looked at the pitiful creature in the cage. It had been listless and devoid of any survival instinct, but when it saw the big ginger cat facing off with it through the cage bars, it miraculously moved back two steps, its back pressing against the bars, its tiny paws clinging tight, trembling with fright.
When a small animal faces its natural predator, it always manages to summon survival instincts.
Xia Ye knew this well; Dong Mao basically had the same expression every time he saw her.
She nodded in satisfaction.
There was still hope for this little creature.
On Shen Zhiqiao’s side, as soon as she returned to school, she saw Yang Qiange waiting for her at the entrance.
Yang Qiange’s reputation had hit rock bottom recently. No one in her dormitory bothered with her, and her classmates shunned her, so whenever she had time, she wanted to stick with Shen Zhiqiao.
Looking at the cage in Shen Zhiqiao’s hand, she sneered, "Senior sister, is that the experimental subject you mentioned on the phone that you’re going to test against Xia Ye with?"
Shen Zhiqiao didn’t answer her directly but glanced around instead, her tone cold, "Why are you here? Call me if there’s anything in the future. We’re not in the same grade, it doesn’t look good to be seen together all the time."
Although Shen Zhiqiao had consoled her the last time Yang Qiange spoke about the incident during an open economics class, claiming to understand her situation, in reality, she despised that kind of girl who was loose in her private life, flirty and coquettish, and aimed to climb the social ladder through men.
Many women had tried to get close to her brother, but she drove them all away.
None were a match for her brother.
If it weren’t for Yang Qiange’s being Xia Ye’s roommate, Shen Zhiqiao wouldn’t even utter a word to someone like her.
However, Yang Qiange didn’t pick up on the disdain, "Okay, senior sister, I just happened to be passing by. Aren’t you going to compete with Xia Ye? Let me join you. The two of us can surely cure it faster. My family has a legacy of Western medicine, I’ve been immersed in it since I was a child, I can definitely help you..."
Shen Zhiqiao looked at her for a while, "No need, I can handle it myself."
Shen Zhiqiao’s white mouse had been on the verge of death throughout the journey, barely conscious. When she got back to her dormitory, she took out a metal box from her suitcase, opened it, and it was divided into several layers containing medicine and syringes.
She skillfully took out a vial of medicine and a syringe, drew up 1ml of cardiotonic, diluted it, and injected it into the little white mouse.
To cure it, she first had to make sure it wouldn’t die within a week.
The cardiotonic took effect almost immediately, and the little white mouse even opened its eyes.
Shen Zhiqiao locked it in a cabinet and then headed to the cafeteria.
On the way, she called her brother, who must have been extremely busy with the hospital’s first day of operation.
On the phone, Shen Zhixi’s voice was slightly weary, "Don’t worry, it’s just that we’ve had a lot of clients. How are things going over at the Academy of Sciences?"
Shen Zhiqiao told him about treating the little white mouse but didn’t mention the competition with Xia Ye. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Her brother always felt she couldn’t outdo Xia Ye, so she wanted to wait until she won to tell him.
