Fu Yiming did not hold back either: "Hmm, it's her."
Then he also spoke coldly, as though giving an order: "I'll give you five thousand, you transfer it to me."
He knew that the Jiang Family did not give Jiang Moxi any pocket money, so she had been doing part-time jobs all the time.
In his mind, five thousand should be a huge fortune for a student like Jiang Moxi who took on part-time jobs everywhere.
Thus, in his plan, Jiang Moxi should deliver the Skin Relaxing Pills to him with gratitude and fear.
But what he didn't expect was Jiang Moxi's reply: "I do have such a Skin Relaxing Pill. However, I don't want to sell it."
The medicinal materials used to refine Skin Relaxing Pills were rare, and their price far exceeded five thousand.
Moreover, with Fu Yiming's attitude like he was giving alms to a beggar, she was even less willing to negotiate with him.
"Then how about ten thousand? If the formula for the Skin Relaxing Pills is developed, it could make the pharmaceutical company that Jiang's and Fu's have recently collaborated with an overnight success."
After the marriage arrangement between Fu Yiming and Jiang Weiwei was fixed, the two families, in order to cement their relationship, jointly invested in a new pharmaceutical company.
Now everything was ready, only lacking a powerful drug that would stand out from the myriad of pharmaceutical companies.
So, when Jiang Weiwei accidentally found out that Jiang Moxi had the Skin Relaxing Pills, she set her sights on it.
"The side effects of Skin Relaxing Pills are notable; incorrect dosage can lead to infertility, it's not suitable for mass production," Jiang Moxi stated coldly.
But Fu Yiming scorned: "What do you know? Just sell it to me."
The Skin Relaxing Pills were rumored to be the number one beauty product, said to make one's skin finer than snow and sweetly scent their flesh when placed in the navel.
Indeed, if developed and marketed properly, they could definitely sell globally, making the pharmaceutical company reap endless profits.
It's said that a thousand drinks are too few when with good friends, and even half a word is too much when views do not align.
Jiang Moxi felt she and Fu Yiming were the latter, so she directly stated:
"I won't sell the pills to you, and don't bother me again."
Then she got up and left.
Fu Yiming was particularly irate.
It was the first time he actively asked her out, and she didn't gratefully weep and give him the Skin Relaxing Pills without a penny!
With such an attitude, she still dared to dream that he, Fu Yiming, would marry her?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Watching her gradually distancing figure, Fu Yiming sneered:
"Just wait and see, I will make you obediently hand over the Skin Relaxing Pills to me."

In the evening, Jiang Moxi went to Night Color for her part-time job again.
Yu Dingding found out and came looking for her the first chance she got.
"Are you really okay? Third Young Master didn't do anything to you, right?"
She mingled in places of entertainment and was quite worldly.
After seeing Third Young Master's behavior in the surveillance footage last night, she felt it was like watching a knife cut through electrical wiring, sparks flying with lightning all the way.
But Jiang Moxi was unconcerned: "I'm fine. Do you see me missing an arm or a leg?"
"Third Young Master is not a butcher from a slaughterhouse, of course, you're not missing limbs. I mean... did you suffer any loss?"
If it weren't for knowing how good-looking Jiang Moxi used to be, Yu Dingding wouldn't be so worried.
Jiang Moxi said sheepishly: "No."
If anyone suffered a loss, it was Third Young Master.
After all, he had invested a whole night's work the previous evening.
But Jiang Moxi didn't want to continue discussing this unproductive topic with Yu Dingding, so she handed over a small bag of pills to her.
"Take these once a day, five small pills at a time, after meals."
"New Skin Relaxing Pills?"
Yu Dingding examined the pills she received for quite some time but couldn't figure out what they were for.
"No, let's just call it Baldness Pills for now, something that will make sure you won't go bald."
Yu Dingding immediately laughed: "That's fantastic, you finally figured it out, my hairline has hope. How much? I'll get you the cash after work."
"No need, consider this a friends' perk."
"Then thank you, Moxi." Yu Dingding looked at her and smiled, understanding that Jiang Moxi now considered her a friend.
Ever since the Yu Family fell from grace, not to mention her friends from the past, even her closest girlfriends from over a decade had become strangers to her.
Being forced to come to Yan City and enter the entertainment venues, she no longer had any friends.
Even the waitstaff in the club wouldn't talk much to her, fearing that she might influence them negatively.
For a long while, she kept to herself alone.
Even if there was time to go out shopping, she wandered solo.
She once thought that the rest of her life would be spent in the long and solitary years.
But now it seems that Heaven still has a bit of mercy, allowing Jiang Moxi to recognize her as such a friend.
Jiang Moxi seemed to see Yu Dingding's multitude of feelings and smiled, "When you have time, let's go out and have fun together."
"Sure."
At this moment, the voice of team leader Li Qin came through Jiang Moxi's earpiece: "Moxi, go to room 148 on the first floor and deliver two bottles of Ace of Spades champagne."
Yu Dingding was also called away by the manager, and their conversation had to come to a temporary end.
*
Jiang Moxi followed Li Qin's instructions to room 148.
But after knocking for a long time, there was no response from inside, though the door to the room wasn't locked and was left slightly ajar.
Through the gap, Jiang Moxi saw that the lighting inside wasn't turned on; the whole room was pitch black, and it was uncertain whether there was anyone inside.
Just then, Li Qin's urging voice came through the walkie-talkie again: "Moxi, have you delivered the champagne to room 148? The guests are rushing."
"Delivering right now."
Jiang Moxi decisively pushed open the door and carried the drinks in: "Your champagne is here."
Using the dim light from the corridor outside the room, Jiang Moxi planned to set down the drinks on the table and leave.
But just as she placed the drinks down, the door to the room suddenly closed.
"Who is it?"
In the pitch-black environment, Jiang Moxi also heard the sound of the door being locked from the outside.
Was it those people from Emperor City?
Or...
"Bitch, being scared now is useless," a man taunted in the darkness.
The voice was unfamiliar, Jiang Moxi still couldn't determine which group the intruder belonged to.
But she heard footsteps approaching her.
She immediately crouched down and swept her leg out all around her!
Soon after, there was a sound from one side of someone being tripped over.
As the person got up, he was still loudly asserting himself.
"Dare to play dirty with me? If I don't cripple you today, then my last name isn't Chen!"
Last name Chen?
Jiang Moxi carefully reminisced, but in both Emperor City and the other place, there were no notable enemies with the surname Chen.
This meant the man was from neither group, so she let loose.
Not waiting for the man to strike again, Jiang Moxi grabbed in the direction where his voice came from and gave him a shoulder throw.
"Jiang Moxi, you hit me again! You're looking for death..."
The man was not willing to be hit, continuing to yell.
But the more he cursed, the more vigorously Jiang Moxi fought.
More than ten minutes later, there was suddenly a knock from outside the room.
Yu Na's voice came through: "Excuse me, your fruit plate has arrived."
Jiang Moxi, feeling exhausted, let go and opened the door.
Seeing Jiang Moxi gasping for breath, Yu Na was somewhat surprised.
At the same time, she curiously peered into the room, wondering which boss had such unique taste to not let even an ugly monster like Jiang Moxi go.
Instead, she saw a man lying on the floor with a bruised nose and swollen face, and she screamed in shock: "Ah..."
Following Yu Na's gaze, Jiang Moxi also saw that the man was none other than Chen Haobin.
He had always sided with Lin Xian and their group to bully her, the man she had kicked in the groin and injured not too long ago!
With great effort, Chen Haobin struggled to his feet and scolded Yu Na:
"You damned woman, what the hell are you screaming for? Hurry up and call the police!"
Yu Na's scream, along with Chen Haobin's shouting, quickly attracted the attention of the first floor's servers and guests.
Fu Youhan had arranged to meet Ye Chen for drinks at Night Color and was sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed by Chi Jing towards the elevator entrance.
Hearing the noise, his gaze swept over involuntarily, spotting Jiang Moxi in the crowd with just a glance...
