NovelEnglishChapter 496: Count Me In
After the exchange, Liang Yuekai and Zhou Weiqi went upstairs to the study for a private chat. In a few days, Zhou Weiqi would have to report to his new position in Jin City and Liang Yuekai wanted to make sure he was ready.
Jiang Yao remarked, “That’s why Du Chen did not stop Mrs. Du and Mrs. Zhou from driving me away yesterday even though he was right there. That’s also why he could come to me calmly, even after all the commotion.”

“Called it. I’m still happy to hear it finally happened though.” Chen Xuyao was delighted. “Things are not going well at all in the Zhou family, eh?”
The rest chuckled. First, the Zhou family lost Zhou Weiqi, then came the news that Du Chen’s leg was unsavable, the third blow came when the engagement was broken off. The Zhou family was the talk of the town, for vastly unpopular reasons of course.
Since Zhou Weiqi was going to Jin City in a few days’ time, Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao decided to stay a few more days in Jindo City.
The day before their return to Jin City, Lu Xingzhi went to Mr. Liang’s office. After dropping him off, Jiang Yao drove to Golden Harbor and gave Zhou Weiqi a ride to Chen Xuyao’s company.
For the past few days, Jiang Yao had been busy asking for advice and opinions from Chen Xuyao since she was planning to start her research lab and pharmaceutical manufacturing company. Chen Xuyao was the perfect person for Jiang Yao to inquire, as he would be able to provide his advice on factory and office designs.
What about the costs? She would figure it out when the time came.
Jiang Yao did not plan to put much effort into the research lab as it was only a smokescreen; her focus was still on the pharmaceutical manufacturing company.

Only after they finished talking did Zhou Weiqi chime in, with a smile on his face, “You’re opening a pharmaceutical manufacturing company? Count me in! I’ll put in some money and be a small shareholder. You’ll handle the company, I’m just in for the ride!”
“You smart brat, knowing that a well-run pharmaceutical manufacturing company is a cash cow.” Chen Xuyao kicked Zhou Weiqi in the shins. It was obvious that with four hundred thousand dollars to his name, Zhou Weiqi was raring to do something with it.
Making medicine had always been a lucrative business.
After all, humans would fall sick, and medicine was needed to treat it.
Even Chen Xuyao was tempted. If Jiang Yao were looking for seed funding, he would be more than happy to contribute.
“Sure.” Jiang Yao nodded; it was best having partners she could trust.
“Count me in too!” Chen Xuyao added, and smiled at Jiang Yao. “Just like Weiqi, I’m not involving myself in any of the company’s decision-making too!”
Jiang Yao nodded approvingly and explained her plans for the company. As a doctor with a decade of experience, she understood the market very well, knew what medicine was lucrative to produce and what could only be produced in controlled quantities.
