It always feels like there's no three hundred taels of silver buried here.
She studied the person in front of her, confirmed she had no idea who it was, then activated her light brain to find out—who is this?
The light brain responded instantly, displaying all the public information about the person before her.
"Lu Qi?" Shen Yunyun's brows furrowed together.
No recognition.
A third-rate actress?
Still no recognition.
"Is this how you treat guests? Blocking them at the door?"
The moment Lu Qi spoke, Shen Yunyun mentally categorized her as one of those annoying types.
"Who are you? What kind of guest are you supposed to be?" Shen Yunyun lost all desire to go out and turned to close the door.
Seeing Shen Yunyun about to shut the door, Lu Qi immediately reached out and placed her hand on the doorframe.
Shen Yunyun saw it.
But she pretended not to, and slammed the door shut with force.
Huh, this scene felt familiar.
If she remembered correctly, the last person whose hand she caught in the door was Sheng Mingyang, right?
"Ah..." Lu Qi let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
Shen Yunyun showed no hint of pity, her face cold as she asked, "What are you doing? Trying to break into my home?"
Lu Qi had never been treated like this before, and tears of grievance began to fall in big drops.
Shen Yunyun rolled her eyes and moved to close the door again. Afraid she might actually shut it, Lu Qi quickly said, "I'm here to buy something."
Shen Yunyun suddenly remembered who she was—wasn't this the actress who helped her raise the bid at that Haicheng auction?
Originally, she had kindly offered to sell her the Huan Yan Pill at a discount, but the woman had been extremely picky, speaking rudely at the time, and Shen Yunyun hadn't indulged her.
In the end, that Huan Yan Pill never sold.
Finally, she matched the face to the name.
"What do you want to buy?" Shen Yunyun had already guessed, but she asked anyway.
"The Huan Yan Pill." Lu Qi handed over a card as she spoke. "There's a million here, the password is six sixes."
Shen Yunyun looked at her like she was an idiot. "You think a million can buy a Huan Yan Pill?"
"Are you trying to jack up the price on me?"
Shen Yunyun shook her head. "No jacking up prices. I just sold them too cheap before."
"A million per pill, and you think that's too cheap? Aren't you afraid I'll report you to the Drug Administration?"
"Then I definitely can't sell it to you. I don't want you running to the Drug Administration the moment I hand it over. I can't afford to earn that kind of money."
Lu Qi was choked up, and furious at the same time. This Shen Yunyun was truly insufferable, sharp-tongued and nasty.
She lifted her chin and asked, "What do I have to do to get you to sell me the pill?"
"I told you, I sold them too cheap before. At the time, I thought the pills could be supplied without limit, but my supplier told me the raw materials are non-renewable. So now, the few Huan Yan Pills left in the world are one fewer with each use." Shen Yunyun said seriously.
"Don't give me that mystical nonsense. You just want more money, don't you? Name your price." Lu Qi was now genuinely angry.
"One billion."
"Are you insane?" Lu Qi immediately shrieked.
"If you can't afford it, don't buy it. I'll sell it to someone who can."
Lu Qi quickly calmed down. "Hah, I get it now. You never intended to sell it to me. You're afraid I'll steal Lin Mengxing's role."
She spoke as if she had uncovered some crucial secret, a sneer on her face.
Shen Yunyun couldn't be bothered with her. This woman was clearly unhinged.
"Buy it if you can afford it, leave if you can't. Are you trying to force a sale?" Shen Yunyun stared at her.
"You really won't sell?"
"Pay up and I'll sell. Don't pay, and I won't."
"Hah, fine then. You'll face the consequences." With that, Lu Qi turned and walked away.
