Young Miss Please Don’t Run - Chapter 26 Chapter 026
There are two people looking at Ba Yue through the 2nd-floor room window. One of them has a smile their face. It turns out that those two people are no other than the man with the mask and his guard, Gao Sing. And the one with the smile is the man with the mask.
“Shopkeeper, I believe you can make me a better offer than that,” Said Ba Yue.
“Young Miss, our store is famous for fairness. No matter if you are buying or selling, our store will treat everyone fairly.”
“Even though the refined pills I’m selling is low grade, but the quality is very good. I can make this into a long-term business deal with you and provide you with a set amount of pills every month. And I can make your store an exclusive to sell my pills.”
“Even though I’m the shopkeeper that manages and run this store, but we actually have a real owner for this place. This is something big and is kinda out of my hand to decide what to do. But the owner of the store just so happens to stop by today. He’s currently upstairs looking at the account books. If you don’t mind, then please show me the pills. And I can bring it upstairs to show it to the owner and have him decide what to do.”
“Okay, that’s sounds fair.” Ba Yue then took out a small jar of low grade, excellent quality strengthening pills and handed to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper received the pills, he then takes his leave and walks toward the stairs to go up to the owner’s room.
Knock, knock.
“Come in.”
“I’m sorry to disturb you, owner. We have a young miss downstairs that want to sell her refined pills. I have given her the offer and rates that were set by the store. But she wanted us to give her a better offer. And this is the pills she refined in the jar.”
The shopkeeper handed over the jar and continue to tell the owner what Ba Yue had said and what had happened downstairs.
Gao Sing received the jar from the shopkeeper and hand it over to the man with the mask. The man with the mask opened the jar and took one pill out. He looked at the shape, size and the color of the pill and then smells it. Everything about the pill is perfect! This is an excellent quality, low grade refined strengthening pill!
The man with the mask then place the pill back in the jar and placed it on the desk he’s currently sitting at.
“These are excellent quality, low-grade refined strengthening pill. We can sell these for a very high price. Even if we give her a better offer, we can still make quite a bit of money here. And with these pills, the name of our store will go up and it will bring in more customers. Give her the best offer we can, and also give her those two cards, too.”
“I understand, owner. I will go get it done right away.”
The shopkeeper picks up the jar of pills on the owner’s desk and heads back to where Ba Yue is downstairs.
“Master, I know it’s not my place to ask this but this store is famous for fairness, we have never changed or bend the rules and rate of this place for anyone before.”
The man with the mask had a slight smile on his face said, “She’s not just anyone, she’s someone that is going to be my future wife. Even if she wants this whole store, I’ll give it to her. It’s just that I can’t show myself to her yet, but soon, I will make her notice me.”
Gao Sing nodded his head and said: “I understand, Master.”
He thought to himself that master had changed quite a bit lately. He’s not as cold as before and is actually paying a lot of attention to one person. We never knew master can actually smile like that when he looks at Ba Yue. This young miss Ba is an interesting person, not only is she getting stronger now, but she can also refine pills. She just keeps giving us more and more surprises, no wonder master likes her so much.
Back downstairs where Ba Yue is, the shopkeeper just came back.
“Thank you for waiting, young miss. I’ve talked to the owner and he said we can give you a better offer. The best offer we can do and for us to not to lose money is 60% profit for selling the pills and we can also raise the discount to 50% off all purchases!”
“Deal!” said Ba Yue. She understands that the store needs to make some money too, otherwise what’s the point in owning a store. In addition to getting a better offer, she’s also getting a bigger discount for all purchases. She’s so glad she asked for a better offer and is happy she came to this store today!
“This is all the pills that I want to sell for today.” Ba Yue took out 10 small jars of pills from her bag, but it’s really from her space bracelet and places it on the table. She has more pills, but it will be suspicious if she told out too much from her bag. Each jar has 10 pills in it and it’s two different kinds of pills. The first kind is the strengthening pills and the other one is detoxification pills. These are same pills she gave to Ho Wai and Ho Kei.
The detoxification pill is different than the weight loss pill that Ba Yue made before. It is not for weight loss, but means exactly as it’s named “detoxification.” This pill can remove impurities from the blood and also eliminates toxins through the kidneys, intestines, lungs, lymphatic system, and skin.
Ho Kei was previously poisoned, even though Ho Wai said that they have gotten rid of the poison in her body but there was still some poison remains in her bloodstream and other parts inside her body. Normal doctors are not able to find out about it from just taking a pulse. But since Ba Yue knows medicine and also very good with poison, she knows even without taking a pulse.
She gave these pills for Ho Kei to detox for the poisons and remove any impurities left in her body. Once her body is cleansed, she can perform the acupuncture to improve and correct her health. That way she can be healthy enough to train like others.
The shopkeeper picks up the jars from the table and takes one of each out of the jar to examines it. He’s very happy and also very surprised! The strengthening pills are low grade but it all have excellent qualities, so it can sell for 10 gold coins each.
But the detoxification pills are a mid-grade pill! Even though the quality of these ones here is slightly better than low-grade quality, it will still sell for at least 60 gold coins for each pill or more. Mid-grade pills aren’t that rare but it’s still very hard to come by and will sell out almost instantly when we put it out on the shelves!
He only thought that she would have low-grade pills but never expect her to have this many mid-grade pills too! He finally understands why the owner bends the rules and is willing to give her a better offer! If they were to sell these in their store, they will not only make lots of money but the name and fame of the store will go up too. Then more customers would come in to buy from us!
“Young miss, I’ll go get all these pills priced for you and also get all the herbs you have requested earlier. I’ll be right back. If you need anything else, please call the other staff inside the store and they will be happy to assist you.” The shopkeeper happily picks up all the jars off the table and went to get busy.
Ba Yue set there waiting for him to finish and come back. She thought to herself that she finally made her first batch of gold! She’ll learn how to refine better qualities mid-grade pills, that way she can sell it for even more money!
About 30 minutes passed, the shopkeeper finally came back.
“Young Miss, I have priced the pills to the highest that I can and have to decide to give you an even better offer. If you can sell us at least 100 pills every month with at half of it being the mid-grade pills like you did today, I’ll change the 60% profits to 70% for you.”
“That’s not a problem at all,” answers Ba Yue.
“Great! So after taking out our portion and the fees for the herbs that you wanted to purchase. You will get 2200 gold coins today.”
The shopkeeper then hands over two cards to Ba Yue.
“Young miss, the owner has told me to give you these 2 cards. The green card is the bank card, it can store the balance of money in there. We have already deposited the money in it. The other one is our store membership card. With the store membership card, you get the promised discount anytime in any of our stores. We have many stores throughout other countries too. As for the green card, it is easier for the transactions.”
“Thank You!” Says Ba Yue very happily. She didn’t expect to get these 2 bonus cards.
She knows she will get the discount in this store, but with the membership card, she can get the same discount at any of the same franchise stores! Not only that, but she also got the green bank card!
The Tai-Seng Bank is a very big bank that has many branches throughout many countries. They have invented the bank card to make it convenient for people to store and to access their money so they don’t have to carries so many coins and banknotes on them when they go out.
People can use the card to pay for purchases and received money from others. But in order to convert the money into tangible money that you can touch, you will have to stop by one of the branches of Tai-Seng bank to withdraw it. These cards are not free and cost quite a bit of money to purchase. There are 5 different colors for the cards and it cost different fees to buy. And each card can store different amounts in it.
White card – costs 1 gold coins fee to buy. It needs at least 10 gold coin stores in the card and can store up 1000 gold coin in value. This card is very commonly used.
Green card – costs 10 gold coins fee to buy. It needs at least 1000 gold coins stored in the card and can store up to 100k gold coins in value.
Silver Card – costs 100 gold coins fee to buy. It needs at least 100k gold coins stored in the card and can store up to 2000k gold coins in value.
Gold card – costs 500 gold coins fee to buy. It needs at least 2000k gold coins stored in the card and can store up to 1 million gold coins.
Black card – it’s free! This is a legendary card that only about 100 people in this whole world have. There’s no minimum or maximum amount for this card. But people with this kind of card is super wealthy! So wealthy that they can buy a small country with it! Having money does not guarantee you getting this card. You have to have a background that can match this card.
Having a card is also a way to show off your wealth. As a young miss of the Ba Family, Ba Yue has a Green Card that was given to her by her father. But she deposited part of gold coins that she won from the competition to the card and had just given it away to Ho Wai.
The prize that the emperor gave her was 200k gold coins in a box. Ba Yue calls the emperor a cheapskate in secret before he didn’t give the money to her in a silver card instead.
There’s no way she can carry that much gold coin in her bag to walk around. She currently has all her gold coins store inside the space bracelet but she can’t just take it out like that in front of others. But she didn’t have a card anymore and was wondering if she should go buy another one.
And now, she suddenly got a free card. Even though it’s a green card, it still cost 10 gold coins to buy! But the green card is perfect for her daily use because she doesn’t want others to know how much money she really has.
Ba Yue tells the shopkeeper to thank the owner for her for the cards. She then picks up the herbs she had purchased to leave. There was a lot of herbs and the shopkeeper offered to deliver it to her, but she has refused. After leaving the store, she walks a few blocks down to a quiet alley. She sees that no one is around so she quickly throws all the herbs into her space bracelet.
“Young Master, are we going home now.” Asked Little Red, who’s been sitting very quietly all day on Ba Yue’s shoulder. He was observing her all day and was surprised at how his young master does things.
