I Am A Prodigy
chapter-535

Chapter 535 I’m Glad to Be Working With You! Seeing Ye Lingchen coming downstairs, a sign of life finally came back to Dong Miaomiao’s gaze. In a hoarse voice, she said, “Thank you.”“Don’t worry about it. Getting rid of Amaterasu Genetics is my responsibility. No need to thank me,” Ye Lingchen stated calmly.

After that, awkward silence followed. Both had nothing to say.

It went on until the appearance of a wonderful aroma that Dong Miaomiao, who was in a daze to finally snap back to attention. She could not resist taking a good whiff, then looked toward the kitchen.

Wisps of smoke came out of there, along with an intense aroma that filled the entire room, growing richer as time passed.

Although she wanted to continue steeping in sorrow, the aroma seemed to carry a magical ability to easily pull her out of that rut.

She had nothing for breakfast. Her stomach was empty since the previous night.

“How about it? You want some?”

Ye Lingchen brought out a pot of porridge along with a few white buns and fried eggs.

Dong Miaomiao looked at the simple food and could not comprehend how such simple food was able to give off such an aroma? That was just illogical!

“Do you want some?” Ye Lingchen looked at her.

“I—”

Gurgle…

Before Dong Miaomiao could finish her sentence, the growls from her stomach caused her face to turn bright red.

Ye Lingchen kept quiet and served her some porridge.

Upon careful inspection of the porridge, Dong Miaomiao finally noticed it. Although it was just a simple porridge, every grain of rice seemed to be glowing, just like that of a star-filled sky. Moreover, the gruel was thick. Just looking at it increased her appetite.

She reached out and grabbed a bun, leading her to another surprise.

It was as soft as cotton. However, unlike cotton, the softness had an elasticity with it. With that texture, she could already tell that the mouthfeel of it must be spectacular!

She stole a glance at Ye Lingchen, surprised that he was such a good cook.

Biting into the bun, it felt as though she was biting on clouds. Just as it entered her mouth, there was a hint of well-balanced sweetness that appeared on her taste buds while the soft fluffy bun was running around the tip of her tongue. It instantly filled her with a strong sense of satisfaction.

Following that, she opened her mouth and took a small sip of porridge.

The thick gruel stained the corner of her lips as the jewel-like grains of rice flowed into her mouth along with the gruel.

Tasty!

It was out of this world!

Plain porridge and buns. It was as simple a pairing as it could get, yet it allowed Dong Miaomiao to feel as though she had a sumptuous and fanciful meal.

Apart from the wonderful taste, a sense of satisfaction and happiness appeared within her. It managed to lighten her sorrows and helped her feel much better.

No need for comforting, nor counseling. Dong Miaomiao started letting go of her troubles all on her own.

They did not rush their breakfast and were finally done after 15 minutes.

“You have quite the appetite eh?” Ye Lingchen asked out of the blue.

Dong Miaomiao’s face turned scarlet in an instant. She had eaten two full bowls of porridge, two buns, and an egg without her realizing.

That portion size might not seem much to a man, but for Dong Miaomiao, it was comparable to her entire day’s portion!

“Hmph.” Dong Miaomiao huffed in response.

“Still thinking about Thousandsprout Healthcare?” Ye Lingchen asked suddenly.

Dong Miaomiao fell into silence for a moment, then grunted softly. She said in a guilty voice, “Vengeance is definitely out of reach. I was just helping my father treat his condition. The company was his life’s work, yet it has completely ruined in the short three years of my takeover…”

“You’re not to blame for this. You’ve done very well. Something like this will doom any company that faced it,” Ye Lingchen comforted.

Honestly speaking, Dong Miaomiao’s ability, personality, and charms were all top of the line. Furthermore, she was still so young. When compared to her peers, she would definitely be an amazing person. It was her luck that brought her down. Otherwise, Thousandsprout Healthcare would definitely have its spot in the market given time!

Dong Miaomiao sighed, obviously unconvinced by those words.

“Would you like a second chance?”

Ye Lingchen’s statement caused Dong Miaomiao to immediately snap her head upward, staring at him in full surprise, unable to believe what she just heard.

“Y-y-you’re helping me?”

“Not exactly helping, just collaborating!” Ye Lingchen replied with a smile.

“Collaborating?” Dong Miaomiao bit her lips. “How are we collaborating?”

“I can provide the money for you to start Thousandsprout Healthcare again. However, this brand must be a subsidiary of the Y Group!” he paused for a moment, then continued, “Of course, it won’t be limited to healthcare products. I think it’ll be better to call it Thousandsprout Pharmaceuticals.”

“Thousandsprout Pharmaceuticals?” Dong Miaomiao was shocked. She then asked, “Do you know how difficult it is to run a pharmaceutical company? It’s not just a matter of having the money. My father spent his entire lifetime of effort and had only managed to gain a foothold. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have compromised by making only healthcare products.”

“That, you don’t have to worry about. I have my ways. Moreover, not only am I going to let it make a firm stance in the pharmaceutical industry, I’ll have it reign at the top!”

Hearing Ye Lingchen’s reply, Dong Miaomiao almost laughed. All these claims about reigning over the industry did not sound like what a grown man should be saying. After all, it was too naive. However, considering Ye Lingchen’s various achievements, she felt that it might be possible.

After that, Ye Lingchen added, “However, I have two conditions.”

Just as expected!

Dong Miaomiao’s heart skipped a beat. Ye Lingchen would not help her for no reason.

“What are the conditions?”

“First of all, since Thousandsprout Pharmaceuticals will be joining the Y Group, half of its shares will belong to Y Group. Moreover, all its patents and trademarks will belong to Y Group!”

That was equivalent to having Thousandsprout Pharmaceuticals work for Y Group. Apart from getting half of the dividends, they would have to listen to Y Group complete.

“Secondly, I need all the formulas from Thousandsprout Pharmaceuticals!”

Both conditions were extremely demanding. It was almost equivalent to having Dong Miaomiao hand over everything she had.

The most important one was the formulas. After all, Ye Lingchen was a person who loved learning. If he could reinforce his knowledge of formulating medicine, he should be able to help Y Cosmetics make its own line of cosmetic products!

“Can you really help me grow Thousandsprout Pharmaceuticals?” Dong Miaomiao’s pretty eyes were staring intently at Ye Lingchen.

“Absolutely! You should know my ability!” Ye Lingchen replied with a laugh.

Y Cosmetics, Wanrong Technology, and Y Group. Dong Miaomiao knew that this person was the one standing behind all those legends. Furthermore, she had witnessed Ye Lingchen’s terrifying fighting prowess firsthand. This man seemed to be a legend from all angles!

“My life is yours to begin with. Moreover, I have nothing now, what other choices do I have?” Dong Miaomiao quickly broke into a smile, going back to the confident self when they first met. She agreed with a smile, “I agree! If my father’s company can turn into a pharmaceutical giant as you claim, he will surely be pleased. From now on…I’m glad to be working with you!”
