119: Sister Alliance

Tu Nan and Lance finished customizing a plan for Kong Jiamu, then looked at each other and sighed in relief.

"I have to say, you've really put in a lot of effort for him," Lance sighed.

"Being free and easy is nice too. Sigh... looking at you, I'm becoming even more determined to stay away from Male Beasts."

Tu Nan retorted, "It's not for him, it's for the Children. Don't you enjoy coming over here to play with the Children all day?"

Lance didn't see any contradiction in that.

"I do enjoy it. But since I can play with yours, I'm not going to have any of my own. Forget it, the Children you and Kong Jiamu have should be quite beautiful, so just endure it." She didn't know if she was trying to convince herself or Tu Nan.

Tu Nan had nothing to say; if it weren't for the System, she wouldn't be working so hard either.

Life needs anchors, and living needs goals. Let it be like this.

Thinking of the scene she had witnessed earlier, Tu Nan became concerned for her friend.

"By the way, that Amy, did you know her before?" The way the two of them interacted earlier was a bit strange.

"Nope," Lance scratched her hair. "I was just passing by the tool room that day and heard her making a phone call home. It was the usual stuff: father passed away, mother is sick, younger siblings to support. She came out to earn money and couldn't take care of the Family, and then she just kept sobbing there..."

"Sigh, you have no idea what that scene was like... Just her, a lone Female Beast, hugging a pile of dirty bedsheets, stifling her sobs because she didn't dare make a sound? That image, I find it hard to forget."

"I just felt she was a bit miserable, so I asked if she needed help," Lance said with an innocent expression. "Who knew she would change her face immediately."

"I didn't hold her attitude against her and went to ask a few more times. Why does this girl look like she wants to bite someone? Sigh, such a sweet and soft little girl being so fierce, it's really hard to understand."

Lance touched her lips, revealing a... how should I put it, a heartbroken yet suggestive expression.

Tu Nan recalled the scene of her first meeting with Lance.

She asked with a blank expression, "Did you tell her you are a Female Beast?"

"Huh?" Lance looked dazed.

Tu Nan continued, "How did you phrase your offer to help her? Come on, pretend I'm Amy and repeat it."

Lance recalled for a moment, leaned slightly closer to Tu Nan, and twitched her nose.

"Poor little sister, why are you crying here all alone? Is it just because you have no money? Follow your big brother, and I'll pay for your mother's medical expenses."

"How about that~"

She was already immersed in the scene from back then, brushing back her short golden hair, smiling at the person in front of her.

Tu Nan... her mouth twitched.

She gave this dunderhead a flick on the forehead!

She truly didn't know why Lance could portray a playboy so vividly; it was practically a natural performance.

Lance was knocked back to reality, holding her head and begging for mercy like a dunderhead.

Tu Nan shook her hard. "She thought you were a pervert! You stupid fish!"

"Can't you just speak properly! Ah! What girl would dare to accept that kind of 'sponsorship'?"

"No matter how you listen to it, it sounds like keeping a mistress, okay!"

Lance still asked Tu Nan innocently, "But, Mother asked me the same way back then. She asked me if I wanted to be her daughter... and I agreed."

"Was she dressed like you back then too? Hmm? Couldn't tell she was a Female Beast at all?" Tu Nan was being sarcastic.

But Lance nodded simply.

"Yeah, Mother is still like that now, why?"

Tu Nan... finally knew where the root of the problem lay.

She waved her hand wearily, stopping Lance from making her angry again.

"I'll go talk to Amy and clear things up, but... given her Family's situation, giving her a sum of money can only help for a moment. You aren't planning to just support her whole Family like this, are you?"

Lance at least knew how to shake her head.

"It's not that bad. Helping with an emergency is not the same as supporting the poor forever, I know that."

Tu Nan glared at her, and after thinking carefully, she felt it wasn't right.

"What Amy needs isn't just money. She needs a stable job near her home, and the salary can't be too low."

"It's very hard for a Female Beast to find a job... many places don't hire Female Beasts." Lance scratched her head, feeling troubled.

Yes, Tu Nan could imagine.

The employee benefits at Hongtu Aviation were definitely not low. So, getting such a job was already very rare for Amy.

No wonder she endured it even though she felt harassed by Lance.

But doing this job meant she couldn't be home for long periods.

"Lance..." Tu Nan had a vague idea.

"Amy isn't the only one; how many can you help? We have to find a way to help more Amys."

Tu Nan grabbed Lance with a sinister grin.

"Didn't you say I was wasting energy on Kong Jiamu? Let's do this: let's make use of his surplus value."

"What?" Upon hearing that they were going to exploit Kong Jiamu, Lance immediately became interested.

"That perfume we made, he gave it a name, and didn't we ask him to help register it?"

Tu Nan was referring to "lve yan".

Lance sat obediently and nodded. She could already foresee that Tu Nan was about to pull off something big.

Sure enough, Tu Nan's plan was even deeper and broader than she had anticipated.

The plan was as follows.

This world had perfume and incense, but they were just decorations, no different from the perfumes of her previous life.

But in the process of trapping Kong Jiamu, Tu Nan realized the sensitivity of beasts to scents; this was a new track!

"Look, different types of beasts react to different categories of drugs, right."

As a Pharmacist, Lance was certainly very familiar with this Domain. She nodded.

"The things circulating on the black market are aphrodisiacs that drive people crazy, which are banned by the Empire, but we can make specific perfumes; the effects don't need to be that extreme. We just amplify each beast's own attractiveness. Or perfumes that enhance the preference for specific types."

The more Tu Nan talked, the more feasible she felt it was.

"Functional perfumes, but kept within a safe range. For example, making you the most attractive Female among the bird tribe. Isn't that the same as a Male showing off how magnificent his feathers are?"

"Only sell at high prices, sell to those nobles, or offer customization. You hold onto the basic formulas and register them!"

"Brilliant..." Lance was stunned; she imagined the scene. "This will make a fortune. Those nobles, every single one of them will have to buy it."

Tu Nan curled her lips slightly.

"Of course. We only earn money from the rich."

Tu Nan added unhurriedly, "I'm not taking advantage of you either; I provided the idea."

She looked at Lance and smiled craftily. "I'm also providing the promotion."

"The perfume named by Kong Jiamu, that's an endorsement; the saved endorsement fee should count as my investment!"

"Even close sisters must keep clear accounts." Tu Nan revealed the shrewdness she had learned during those years of training in a top-tier business Family from her previous life.

"Let's start a company; you provide the technology."

"Hehehe~" Lance nodded with a silly smile, having no objections at all.

"I knew you were suited for big things." Not only did she praise Tu Nan, but she also had to take a dig at Kong Jiamu.

"At least he's finally of some use."

As always, she looked down on the peacock from the bottom of her heart.
