Transmigrated to a Period Novel as the Genius Antagonist's Birth Mother

Chapter 98: Cooperation, Independent Consultation

Jiang Zhishu stood up and walked behind Luo Peng, taking the tin box from her hands. On the tin box, there was a large illustration of a white cat's head, and he didn't open it. "This is cooling oil."

The round tin box used for applying medicine to Luo Peng before was not this one.

"No," Luo Peng looked at him with a gentle smile in her eyes. "This is an ointment made by Chu Xia herself. I've used it. Take a look and see if the redness has subsided a bit."

Luo Peng brushed her hair aside, allowing Jiang Zhishu to get a clearer view. 

The redness on her neck that was prominent before now seemed less obvious, indicating that the sunburned skin was slowly improving.

Jiang Zhishu opened the round iron box, and a refreshing herbal scent emanated from it. It wasn't unpleasant. The ointment was green and semi-transparent. He dipped a little with his fingers and carefully applied it to Luo Peng's skin.

"Does it hurt?" Jiang Zhishu asked Luo Peng.

"Not at all," Luo Peng replied. "It feels cool and very comfortable."

Jiang Zhishu applied the ointment to the sunburned area on Luo Peng's neck. Holding the ointment, he had a pensive expression on his face.

Luo Peng put down her hair and turned to see Jiang Zhishu's expression. She asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Zhishu placed the small round box on the table, lifted his eyes, and looked at Luo Peng. "Is this ointment Chu Xia's secret formula?"

Luo Peng didn't know; she hadn't asked Chu Xia.

Jiang Zhishu said, "Could you ask her for me? If it is, I have a business proposition I'd like to discuss with her."

Luo Peng blinked, trying to recall the business Jiang Zhishu was involved in. They hadn't talked much about it, but if there were any significant developments, he would consult her because failure could mean losing money.

This business requires a significant initial investment, and the period to see results and benefits is relatively long. When Jiang Zhishu first decided to undertake this venture, he had told Luo Peng that if it failed, the money he earned might all go into the losses.

Luo Peng hugged him after hearing this and said, "It's okay. I still have a job, and I can support you."

Jiang Zhishu immediately lifted her up in his arms, expressing the surging emotions in his heart through actions.

Jiang Zhishu nodded, "Yes. I need more medical prescriptions."

He had already identified suitable medical research personnel through his connections at prestigious institutions. He also had talents in chemistry. Additionally, he was scouting professionals for his electrical business, as these were the two directions he aimed to vigorously develop in the future.

The best scenario would be to combine mechanics and healthcare. In this regard, there was a vast untapped market in the country.

Luo Peng said, "I'll ask Chu Xia for you."

After hearing Luo Peng's explanation of Jiang Zhishu's intentions, Chu Xia fell into contemplation. "Let me think about it. I'll give you an answer in a few days."

Luo Peng wasn't in a hurry. Jiang Zhishu's business wasn't something that could be rushed, as haste could lead to mistakes.

After returning home from Grandpa Jiang's house, Chu Xia continued to think about the matter.

Did she have a family secret recipe? Yes, in her past life, her grandfather forced her to memorize recipes that had been passed down through the family.
