Chapter 771 : Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 771 - I Will Plead for Your Merits
Qi Chan clearly hesitated to let her go and held onto her, asking many questions about the heating pack.
Shu Yu answered each one, informing him that the main material was quicklime made from common limestone. Qi Chan's face lit up with joy.
"This thing is really convenient and can be mass-produced," Qi Chan exclaimed.
Qi Chan excitedly said to Shu Yu, "You are a meritorious figure of the Great Su Dynasty, Miss Lu. Rest assured, I will present this to the emperor and won't take credit for your achievements. By then, you will be able to restore your noble status and no longer need to work as a laborer in exile."
Although what she was doing now couldn't be considered labor, she still lacked freedom, and the money she earned didn't amount to much in her hands.
Shu Yu smiled with satisfaction. Look, she didn't even need to use her connections; Master Qi had automatically secured the greatest benefit for her.
She hypocritically said modestly, "I didn't think about all this at first. I just thought this thing was amazing and had great potential. I felt that it would be a waste if I were the only one using it, and I wouldn't trust giving it to others. Only by giving it to Master Qi, it might be able to exert its greatest effect. That's why I came to find you."
Qi Chan burst into laughter. "You are calculating and a good girl."
"In that case, I'll leave the heating pack to you. My family is waiting for me to return, and it's getting late. I should go home," Shu Yu said.
Qi Chan looked outside and indeed, it was getting late. The sky was about to darken.
It was all his fault for being too excited and talking for such a long time.
Qi Chan patted his forehead. "Alright, you go home first, so your family doesn't worry. I'll take another look at this heating pack, and if there's any issue, I'll come find you."
"Okay."
Shu Yu bid her farewell and took a few steps towards the door before stopping.
Then, as if she had remembered something, she quickly turned back.
As she turned, she saw Qi Chan putting the heating pack back into the container and preparing to reheat the bowl of noodles that had gone cold.
Her mouth twitched. "Sir."
Qi Chan looked up. "What's the matter?"
"Cheng Dong entrusted this letter to me. Originally, I was supposed to deliver it to the Hetai Mansion. I almost forgot to give it to you just now." Shu Yu handed over the letter somewhat apologetically.
Qi Chan paused, "..."
Not only did she forget, he also completely neglected such an important matter.
It was really a mistake. He had completely forgotten about other matter when he saw it.
Qi Chan hurriedly took the letter. "Let me see."
Shu Yu said, "Sir, I've already opened and read this letter. Um, I didn't mean to. At that time, I wasn't sure whether Cheng Dong's intentions were good or bad, whether I should help him deliver this letter or not. So, I took the liberty of opening it."
Well, it was an accident, so Qi Chan, who had just received the heating pack, shouldn't blame her, right?
Shu Yu intentionally took out the heating pack before handing him the letter.
The letter had traces of being opened, and it wouldn't be appropriate to seal it again. If Qi Chan and Master Cheng noticed any problems with the envelope later, they would suspect she was hiding something. It was better to tell the truth since she had her own reasons.
Qi Chan indeed didn't blame her. "Never mind, given the circumstances at the time, opening the letter was an unavoidable choice. However, remember, no matter what it says in this letter, you must keep it to yourself. No, it's best if you forget about it. Otherwise, it won't benefit you. Do you understand?"
