This kind of response clearly made Shen Qiang a bit dissatisfied, and he couldn't help but say half-jokingly, "Bai Jiao, it's just a matter of a few billion, do you Bai Family really need to be so cautious?"

Bai Jiao smiled and held Shen Qiang's arm, saying, "Shen Qiang, do you think everyone is like you, refining some elixirs and making a lot of money? In fact, whether it's Cheng Xinyi or Wanxin Hesheng, the money we earn is hard-earned. Hundreds of mouths are waiting to be fed at home, and you think just by moving your lips, we can give you eight billion? Stop joking."

Shen Qiang felt helpless.

Xu Nan also said, "Shen Qiang, it's not a matter of being generous or stingy. Wanxin Hesheng is also a family enterprise, not owned by a single person. Eight billion, if the Provincial City store worked alone, it would take at least ten years without eating or drinking to earn that much money."

"In this situation, unless tomorrow's press conference gives your elixir unanimous praise, excellent reputation, and a lot of customers show interest in purchasing, only then will the elders in the family consider your proposal."

Bai Jiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Even though my dad is the family head, it's impossible for him to get carried away. If you were in his place, would you just give away eight billion immediately after what you said? What if no one buys it, wouldn't that be a huge loss?"

Shen Qiang sighed helplessly.

Originally, he thought that having Bai Jiao and Xu Nan on board would mean Wanxin Hesheng and Cheng Xinyi would accede to all his requests, but now it seems that he was indeed daydreaming.

They are businessmen; without enough profit incentive, they absolutely wouldn't take money out of their pockets easily.

So after thinking it over carefully, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "No problem, I'm the strongest alchemist. Once my Timeless Beauty Pill is released tomorrow, it might not even need your two companies as agents, and I'd probably gather 1.5 billion myself."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jiao giggled and said, "You really are arrogant. That's 1.5 billion, not 150 bucks. They say you're conceited, and you just flaunt it. If you mess it up tomorrow, you might not be able to sell your Timeless Beauty Pill at all."

Shen Qiang put on a straight face, "Your attitude is too pessimistic. My alchemy skills are so impressive; someone will definitely be eager to buy."

Xu Nan laughed, "You, I can never tell if you're really confident or just arrogant. But for now, everything seems fine, except for one small issue with the spokesperson."

"What issue?" Shen Qiang was surprised.

Xu Nan hesitated slightly before saying, "The spokesperson for our Timeless Beauty Pill was originally Miao Xiaoxia. She's beautiful, young, and the commercials featuring her are virtually perfect, but it's only now that we suddenly realized a problem."

"The issue is that firstly, Miao Xiaoxia is from Heshenghe, and secondly, she's not a cultivator. The most critical issue is that she's too young, and in the cultivation world, the women who care most about beauty and have the most purchasing power are generally around thirty-five years old."

"This means that although Miao Xiaoxia's commercial is excellent, it might not convince them because they have no awareness of Miao Xiaoxia at all. They're completely unclear whether her beauty is due to the elixir or if she's just naturally beautiful."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang said, "Reshoot, get someone else."

"There's no time." Bai Jiao said, "Neither Xu Nan nor I could do it. We're too young, and being from Heshenghe, they'll just think we're bragging."

Shen Qiang checked his watch; it was already past four in the afternoon. But after hesitating slightly, Shen Qiang said, "I'll find the spokesperson. You guys notify the crew to get ready, I'll probably be back in about half an hour."

Bai Jiao and Xu Nan were astonished.

Almost at the same time, Shen Qiang stood up, True Yuan opened the window, and instantly, he leaped out.

"Ye Guyun!"

With Shen Qiang's call, amidst the surging True Yuan, the lightning-fast Ye Guyun immediately caught Shen Qiang, and in the astonished gaze of Bai Jiao and Xu Nan, the two instantly disappeared.

Being used to Ye Guyun and Shen Qiang's tacit cooperation, the two women weren't surprised.

They were just a little curious.

"Who is he going to get?"

While the two women were wondering, Shen Qiang, who was sitting on Ye Guyun's back, took out his phone.

The call quickly connected.

From the other end came a charming, playful voice.

"I just knew you're not the type who gives selflessly without asking for anything in return. So, alright, I must admit, your elixirs are really amazing. It's only after taking your pills that I realized just how beautiful I truly am."

This made Shen Qiang, sitting on Ye Guyun's back, laugh so hard his eyes squinted.

"Oh, my dear Palace Master, you're too modest. In fact, only the Timeless Beauty Pill can match your kind of beauty."

Hearing this, the Baihua Palace Master Weisheng Zhimei laughed delightedly, and then said coquettishly, "Aww, you've become quite the sweet talker. I'm sure you have something to ask of me, right? If you're planning to take Qian Dai to Hehe Shenghe, you'll have to wait for a few years. Wait until she finishes her studies, then I won't intervene, but now, even if you sweet talk your way through, I still won't agree."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Indeed, I have something to ask, but it has nothing to do with Qian Dai. I need you to help promote my elixirs and shoot a short commercial."

The Baihua Palace Master Weisheng Zhimei chuckled, "I knew it, you sly fox. You want a favor, yet you still want to profit. Getting your benefit for free is as hard as climbing to the sky." Then she coquettishly said, "Come on, my acting skills are top-notch. Didn't you yourself say so? The Oscars owes me a Best Actress."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang laughed, "You've boasted, now you must deliver."

The Baihua Palace Master Weisheng Zhimei taunted with a light laugh, "Come on then, get a phone signal. If you can appear before me within five seconds, not only will I help you shoot a small commercial, but even filming a passionate bedroom scene with you won't be a problem."

"Really?" Shen Qiang asked.

The Baihua Palace Master laughed gleefully, "Three seconds left."

Knowing clearly that the Baihua Palace Master Weisheng Zhimei was teasing him, Shen Qiang couldn't help but laugh, "Then look up and see the sky."

Hearing this, the Baihua Palace Master Weisheng Zhimei, who was in the office on the fifth floor of the Summer Hotel, with a graceful figure and a light smile, opened the window and looked at the darkening sky, and smiled, about to blame herself in her heart for being so foolish.

Boom!

The furious air currents stirred by the True Yuan tousled her long hair.

She was stunned as the tiger-bodied, winged Great Demon Qiongqi appeared instantly at the window. At this moment, Shen Qiang, sitting on her back, smiling and extending his hand to her, said, "Let's go, my artist. You might like the big bed on set."
