Chapter 855: Negotiating Terms Face to Face

Ruan Ximao pondered, and it was obvious that he began to quickly weigh the pros and cons of this matter in his mind, and even temporarily put aside the matter of finding someone that he had been thinking about all these days.

"Yanran, what do you think about this matter?"

After a while, Ruan Ximao asked.

"Grandpa, I think that cooperating with Chen Shu will benefit our Ruan family in every way."

Ruan Yanran said decisively.

"Oh?"

Ruan Ximao didn't expect that his granddaughter would express her views on this matter so clearly, and clearly support cooperating with Chen Shu.

Although Ruan Yanran is young and of low generation, she is the most dazzling alchemy genius of this generation of the Ruan family, and her words are also of great reference value.

In fact, in many cases in the past, Ruan Yanran's views were more useful than those of the elders in the clan.

However, this time, Ruan Ximao thought about it for a long time and shook his head: "50% of the turnover is not a small amount, and we have to pay the cost. After deducting the cost, our profit may only be 10% or 20%. He proposed such harsh conditions. Before I see his ability with my own eyes, I still feel uneasy."

"How about this, Yanran, you ask him to come over, and I will talk to him face to face? See if he is really as talented as the rumors say?" Ruan Ximao said again.

"Uh... I will try my best to bring him."

Ruan Yanran was not sure whether he would come with that guy's personality?

"Grandpa, then I will go back to the Nine Star Alchemy Association first."

Ruan Yanran said, and left Ruan Ximao's residence.

"Old Four, do you think that Chen Shu is really as capable as the rumors say?"

Ruan Ximao asked the fourth elder of the Ruan family thoughtfully.

Although the achievements in the Nine-Star Pill Tower are beyond doubt and have been widely spread outside, Ruan Ximao is always skeptical about things that he has not seen with his own eyes.

After all, he knew from Ruan Yanran that Chen Shu was just a teenager from a small country with no background, so where did his attainments in the way of pills come from?

"Master, wouldn't you know if you try it?"

The fourth elder shrugged.

"Try?"

Ruan Ximao was stunned.

"That's right."

The fourth elder said as a matter of course, "Although Ruan Qin is traveling outside and has not returned, don't forget that our family still has a guest alchemist who was invited before. He is also a strong alchemist. Anyway, he has been idle all the time, so why not let him be a touchstone and try how much that boy is capable of?"

...

In the Nine-Star Pill Meeting.

Su Chen had just returned to the Nine Star Alchemy Club from the Immortal Pavilion, and saw Ruan Yanran standing outside his yard again.

"Ahem..."

Seeing Su Chen's slightly raised eyebrows in surprise, Ruan Yanran also coughed twice in embarrassment, "That... my grandfather said that he wanted to invite you to the Ruan family to discuss cooperation."

"Ask me to the Ruan family to discuss?"

Su Chen asked unexpectedly, and then thought that this must be because the Ruan family did not trust him enough.

Su Chen naturally did not like this feeling of being distrusted, but thinking of the matter of the red copper stone, he temporarily endured it.

After all, ten kilograms of red copper stone may not be a big deal for the ancient family, but for Su Chen, he really had to ask the ancient family for help before he could find ten kilograms of red copper stone.

"Then let's go."

Su Chen smiled faintly and left the Nine Star Alchemy Club with Ruan Yanran.

When the two walked out of the gate of the Nine Star Alchemy Club, no one noticed that in a dark corner outside the gate, a dark gaze was staring at Su Chen's figure.

"That kid finally came out again. This is a good opportunity... Wait? Who is he with?"

The owner of that gaze was the Kuang family strongman who assassinated Su Chen last time. At this moment, he was about to jump out, but his eyes suddenly saw Ruan Yanran who was with Su Chen.

"Is it the girl from the Ruan family?"

The Kuang family strongman frowned tightly and cursed, "Bad thing!"

He was not afraid of Ruan Yanran, but with Ruan Yanran present, he could not kill Su Chen without anyone noticing. Because if the Nine Star Pill Club knew that Su Chen's death was related to him, it would be very troublesome.

But he couldn't kill Ruan Yanran to silence her, otherwise the matter would be too big.

"Boy, you are lucky this time!"

The Kuang family strongman pondered for a moment, and finally gave up with a curse.

On Su Chen's side, he and Ruan Yanran left Donglin City and went straight to the Ruan family.

Fortunately, the Ruan family was not far from Donglin City, and the two of them spent half a day to reach the Ruan family.

Entering the gate of the Ruan family, following Ruan Yanran, they arrived at the main hall of the Ruan family without any obstacles.

Above the main hall, the head of the Ruan family, Ruan Ximao, was talking in a low voice with another old man, and not far away
