Gradually, the sun began to scorch, and only then did Su Jing let her hair down, making herself appear as if she had just woken up, before opening the door.

Upon seeing Li Li, who was drenched in sweat and wearing a pitiful expression, Su Jing feigned annoyance. In reality, she was taking the initiative to prevent any complaints about her tardiness. “Oh, I’m such a fool,” she lamented, “I worked late into the night again. I’m so exhausted. I just woke up, you won’t mind, will you?”

Li Li tried hard to suppress her emotions, her eyes fixated on the piece of paper Su Jing was clutching. It must be the formula.

All she wanted was to grab that paper and make a fortune. What did it matter if she had to endure the heat? She laughed, addressing Su Jing, “Of course I don’t mind. If I can’t understand you, can I still call myself your good friend? So, did you get it?”

Su Jing noticed that Li Li’s gaze never left the paper in her hand. She forced a smile and lifted her hand, “Of course I got it. I went through a lot of trouble for this, Li Li. You won’t let my efforts go to waste, will you?”

Li Li nodded repeatedly, promising fervently, “Of course not. Give me the formula first. It’s not convenient for you to conduct research at the Su residence. I’ll go and test it first. Once we have enough funds, we can set up a stall together, and eventually open a shop.”

Su Jing nodded, just about to hand it over. But as Li Li reached out, Su Jing pulled her hand back, “I had a hard time getting this formula. It doesn’t feel right to just hand it over. I feel like I’m at a loss.

“You know me, I don’t like to be at a disadvantage. Since you’re my friend, give me five dollars. I’ll give you the formula and trust you.”

Upon hearing this, Li Li felt deflated. How could she forget? Su Jing was indeed not one to be taken advantage of. Damn it, she was asking for five dollars!

She pulled out the money from her pocket and reluctantly handed it over. Su Jing snatched it up, handed over the paper, and said, “Deal. Now you should go. Gu Zi is about to come out. It won’t be easy to explain if she sees you.”
