91: Chapter 91 Effective Cold Medicine

Since Zhao Feiyu had Xia Zhu's investment company purchase Runfada Supermarket, this expenditure could not be attributed to him directly.

Today was already the third day.

However, Zhao Feiyu was not in a hurry to find Yuan Lingzhi to hand over the money.

After lunch, Zhao Feiyu suddenly received a call from Qi Jiaojiao.

"Jiaojiao, is something the matter?"

"It's... it's just..."

On the other end, Qi Jiaojiao seemed to find it difficult to speak, her words coming out in fragments.

"My mom said she won't be back until tonight. Can you come over? Let's meet and talk!"

Hearing this, Zhao Feiyu's heart skipped a beat.

His mind began to wander.

No! No!

How old is Jiaojiao anyway?

Zhao Feiyu quickly collected his thoughts and asked, "Is there something you can't say over the phone?"

"This matter, it... it's not convenient to talk about over the phone!"

"Alright then! I'll be right over!"

...

On the way, Zhao Feiyu's mind conjured up countless scenarios of meeting Qi Jiaojiao.

Zhao Feiyu could clearly feel that Qi Jiaojiao's feelings for him seemed a bit different.

But she was only in her third year of middle school!

Although many children of the same age were already dating, Zhao Feiyu was not a child of that age!

Arriving at Qi Jiaojiao's home, Zhao Feiyu knocked on the door nervously.

"Come in!" Qi Jiaojiao's voice came from inside.

Zhao Feiyu pushed the door open and entered.

In the small living room, Qi Jiaojiao was lying on the sofa watching TV, wearing small shorts and white socks.

Seeing Zhao Feiyu arrive, she immediately sat up.

"Feiyu... brother!" Qi Jiaojiao said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"I'm calling you brother, I wonder if that's appropriate?"

"It's appropriate, why wouldn't it be?"

Zhao Feiyu looked at Qi Jiaojiao's mature figure, then found a spot and sat down.

"But, you call my mom sister, and I call you brother, isn't that a bit..." Qi Jiaojiao said, looking conflicted.

"Oh, it's just a form of address!" Zhao Feiyu said nonchalantly.

"Besides, if you called me uncle, wouldn't that make me sound old? How old do you think I am?"

"Giggle!" Qi Jiaojiao laughed immediately, nodding, "That's true!"

"By the way, you called me over, is there something you need?" Zhao Feiyu quickly got to the point.

"It's... it's just..." At this point, Qi Jiaojiao seemed to become somewhat restless.

"I want... I want..."

"No!" Zhao Feiyu stood up quickly, looking panicked.

"Jiaojiao, you must never have that idea, do you hear me?"

"You are still young. You're only in your third year of middle school!"

"Brother knows you like me! But, if you like me, you can wait until you're in high school or university to tell me! You really can't do this right now!"

Seeing Zhao Feiyu's awkward state, Qi Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, then laughed shyly.

"Haha!"

"Brother, it's not what you think!"

"Huh?" Zhao Feiyu was stunned at first, then felt so embarrassed he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

He didn't expect that he had overthought it!

This was truly incredibly awkward!

"Then... what is it you need?"

"First of all!" Qi Jiaojiao said seriously.

"As you just said, I... I... I do indeed like you! And it's not just because you saved us. Secondly... what I wanted to say is, I want brother to help me invest!"

"Invest? Invest in what?" After hearing her confession, Zhao Feiyu quickly pivoted to the second topic.

"I heard from my mom that you really bought Runfada Supermarket for her, so I was wondering, could you invest in our laboratory?"

"A laboratory?" Zhao Feiyu became curious immediately.

"Can you tell me more about it?"

"It's like this!" Qi Jiaojiao explained earnestly.

"Some classmates and I, along with some enthusiasts in the industry, established a pharmaceutical research laboratory."

"Recently, we have been researching a special effect cold medicine. And we have even achieved some results."

"However, we have run into a shortage and strain on funds, which means the experiments can no longer continue."

"My partners once went to Fans Medical Group to seek cooperation and investment. But when they saw we were all just kids, they refused us outright."

"They even said our research was just children playing house. They said there is no such thing as a special effect cold medicine in this world. It wasn't until I met you that I had this idea!"

After Qi Jiaojiao finished, Zhao Feiyu blinked, looking at her somewhat blankly.

special effect cold medicine!

How is that possible?

Just as Fans Pharmaceutical Group said, this was simply children playing house.

"Are you sure you're not joking with me?" Zhao Feiyu asked seriously after a brief moment of mental shutdown.

Qi Jiaojiao held up three fingers and swore, "Brother, I swear on my character that I am absolutely not lying. We really have achieved some results now!"

Seeing that Qi Jiaojiao didn't seem to be joking, Zhao Feiyu asked her to explain the whole situation.

It turned out that by her first year of middle school, Qi Jiaojiao had already finished learning all the middle school and high school curriculum.

It had always been Qi Jiaojiao's dream to become a doctor. Therefore, in her spare time, she would focus on medical research and books.

During this process, she met Fan Binger. The two hit it off immediately and started research in this area. Fan Binger provided the money, and Qi Jiaojiao provided the effort.

Over these two years, they found more like-minded people in the industry. They even had some professionals in the field from society helping them.

Up until now, their research results had started to show significant promise.

But to outsiders, this was simply a fantasy. It was impossible.

Fan Binger was also feeling the financial strain, and the laboratory was once on the verge of disbanding.

"Who is this Fan Binger?" Zhao Feiyu asked.

"You don't even know Fan Binger?" Qi Jiaojiao was a bit surprised.

"I know Fan Bingbing, but I don't know Fan Binger!"

"She's the little princess of the Fan Family, one of the Four Great Families! She also attends Yasi Middle School, but when I first met her, she was already in her third year of middle school, and now she's in high school!"

"Oh! I see!" Zhao Feiyu suddenly realized.

Since arriving in Yunduan City, although it had been less than a month, he had gained some understanding of the various top-tier figures in Yunduan City, especially the Four Great Families.

However, Zhao Feiyu had not yet had any contact with the Fan Family, who were also one of the Four Great Families. After all, they were primarily in the pharmaceutical business, and there was no commercial conflict between them and him.

"Since there's this Fan Binger, why not just have her get their family's pharmaceutical group to invest?"

"Fan Binger has already tried, but their pharmaceutical group's research team rejected our research outright, saying that this special effect cold medicine is simply impossible!" Qi Jiaojiao said helplessly.
