To put it mildly, the Zhao family and the Cheng family were not really close, and most of their dealings were only in business.

However, for the Cheng family’s second son’s coming-of-age ceremony, the Zhao family were thinking of a more decent gift that would bring the two families closer together.

Since the Zhao family wanted to get closer to the Cheng family, it was natural that it would be of great benefit to the Zhao family.

Although the Zhao family is a pharmaceutical family, it developed much later than the Cheng family, and a pharmacy family relies on strong pharmacists, preferably those from the family.

However, in Zhao Chengxuan’s generation, most of his peers have mediocre qualifications and are barely good enough to be pharmacists. They were not good enough to be springboards for the family.

Then came the next generation, and the situation did not improve much either.

Among the younger generation, the only one with some talent for potion making is Zhao Xinxin. However, she could only make B-grade potions, which is still a long way from being a genius.

Under such circumstances, the situation of the Zhao family was not optimistic.

Although they were not in much of a decline, the Zhao family’s name as a pharmaceutical family would gradually fade away if the situation continued.

They had just achieved their current status, so how could they willingly fall into disrepair?

Compared to the Zhao family, the Cheng family’s situation was the opposite.

The Cheng family had made its name on the battlefield. It had produced two marshals, one lieutenant general, and three major generals, which laid a solid foundation for the Cheng family.

After that, the Cheng family gradually emerged in mecha manufacturing. With the support of the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Cheng family’s industry grew and became the leader of the mecha industry with little effort, and its position was indestructible.

This was all well and good, but ten years ago, the eldest son of the current generation of the Cheng family was tested to have SS-level mental power. This not only made Cheng Yi famous but also boosted the status of the Cheng family.

Although it was later rumoured that the second son of the Cheng family had no interest in mechad and had even enrolled in the pharmacy course at the Central Star First College, it did not affect the status of the Cheng family in any way.

It was enough for the Cheng family to have one genius; it would have been scary if they really had another one.

In summary, it is not surprising that the Zhao family wants to take advantage of the bar mitzvah to bring the two families closer.

However, there are quite a number of people who have the same idea, so Zhao Chengxuan was even more worried about this matter.

If there was no comparison, he could just choose a gift that was expensive enough to send, but with so many people comparing, it would be better if he didn’t make a choice. It would be a shame if he was outclassed.

 Zhao Xinxin returned home with a bit of sullenness and saw her father sitting on the sofa with a frown on his face.

"What’s Dad thinking about?" Zhao Xinxin asked as she collected herself for the moment.

Zhao Chengxuan came back to his senses and looked at Zhao Xinxin: "Back from your exams? Are you tired? "

Zhao Chengxuan didn’t even ask Zhao Xinxin how she did on the exam. After all, he knew his daughter’s strength. There was absolutely no problem coping with a small entrance exam.

"No," Zhao Xinxin shook her head and asked, "What was Daddy thinking just now? Why do you look so sad? "

Zhao Xinxin was the best qualified of the younger generation. Zhao Chengxuan even had the intention of letting her inherit the family business in the future, so he didn’t hide it from her. " In a few days’ time, it will be the Cheng family’s second son’s bar mitzvah. I was thinking about what gift I should send there."When the Cheng family was mentioned,

Zhao Xinxin’s eyes could not help but light up slightly, but when she thought of the cold treatment she had received before, her eyes darkened again.

But now was not the time to be bothered with such trivial matters. Zhao Xinxin quickly adjusted herself and gave her advice, "Since we are a pharmaceutical family, I think it would be best to send some relevant gifts. That way, we can show our status and look attentive at the same time."

Zhao Chengxuan sighed, "I was thinking the same thing, but most of the potions our family makes are not presentable. It would seem insincere to go around asking for good quality potions. "

"Of course we can’t ask for them in a big way, but can’t we find someone to secretly buy them?" Zhao Xinxin said.

Zhao Chengxuan’s heart twitched, and he suddenly thought of that top quality potion.

Although the time was short, it was easy to find the pharmacist with Zhao Chengxuan’s power.

But to his surprise, the pharmacist did not even know that he had made a bottle of high quality medicine.

At first, Zhao Chengxuan didn’t directly mention the potion, but had someone ask him what potions he had made recently.

He admitted that he sold a bottle of body potion before, but in his description, it was just a very ordinary E grade body Potion and there was nothing special about it.

Zhao Chengxuan naturally wouldn’t believe it. He turned another corner and had another subordinate find this pharmacist, saying that he was willing to spend a large amount of money to order a bottle of high quality medicine.

As a result, the other party refused outright and said that it was impossible for him to make a high quality potion.

The subordinate deliberately doubled the price twice and was extraordinarily sincere. But the other party’s attitude, although seemingly distraught and torn, still said that there was nothing he could do.

Seeing that his attitude was not a disguise, Zhao Chengxuan slowly realised that something was wrong somewhere.

But up to now, he hadn’t found out what the problem was. The only thing he had gained so far was that bottle of body potion.

He couldn’t help but think about the bottle of potion at his daughter’s words.

Although Zhao Xinxin did not know about it, she could see the clues from her father’s expression, so she asked, "Does Daddy already have an idea?"

After a slight pause, Zhao Chengxuan told his daughter about the matter.

Zhao Xinxin first frowned and then her eyes lit up, "So this is an unowned potion?"

Zhao Chengxuan paused. From certain angles, this was indeed the case.

Without waiting for her father’s response, Zhao Xinxin continued by herself, "Dad, why don’t we just take this potion as a gift? A bottle of high quality potion is enough to show how much we value the Cheng family. "

Body potions were indeed very precious, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they could not be found.

Zhao Chengxuan, however, was a little hesitant. Although it was true that he couldn’t find the pharmacist for the time being, it was precisely that which made him feel a little uneasy.

Zhao Xinxin had already made up her mind and persuaded him, "Dad, this potion is definitely the best gift we can get right now. It’s really nothing to worry about. The potion is unmarked, so it definitely won’t be discovered. "

It would indeed be difficult to find out who the maker was since there are no markings on the potion bottle.

However, this potion was touched by An Yan’s spiritual power. Naturally, it was very different from the normal situation, except that the Zhao family’s father and daughter were obviously unaware of this.So

with little hesitation, Zhao Chengxuan agreed to his daughter’s proposal, "You’re right. Besides, this potion is something I paid a lot of money for. "

But the money he was talking about was given to Qu Fu, who brought the potion to the company, not to the pharmacist who made it.

 Zhao Xinxin’s eyes turned at her father’s consent, and she added, "Since we’re going to give this potion as a gift to the Cheng family, how about saying that I made this bottle of potion?"

"How would that work?" Although Zhao Chengxuan knew how to be flexible for the sake of profit, the idea had never crossed his mind. He knew Zhao Xinxin’s level, and it was impossible for her to produce a high-quality potion.

"Of course it’s possible," Zhao Xinxin said in an affirmative tone, "since it’s a gift to bring the two families closer, it’s natural that a gift made by hand would show more sincerity. I know what dad is worried about, but hasn’t there been a case before where a pharmacist created a potion that was beyond their abilities because they were in a transient state? "

Zhao Chengxuan still felt that something was wrong, but had to admit that this would indeed maximise the benefits of this matter.

 Zhao Xinxin saw her father’s attitude wavering, so she hurriedly made further efforts and said, "Dad, I even saw Cheng Yi when I finished my exams earlier. I was going to ask him to give me a ride home and say a few more words, but he actually turned me down...."

Zhao Chengxuan knew Zhao Xinxin’s feelings for Cheng Yi and he was very supportive of them. Leaving aside the power of the Cheng family, Cheng Yi’s personal strength alone was enough to match his daughter.

But the relationship between the two families was little. He can’t be too eager to get things done in case it annoys the other party.

However, if there was a chance for his daughter to get closer to Cheng Yi, he would naturally be happy to do so.

"Speaking of which, I still don’t know what Cheng Yi’s animal features are. Perhaps it’s because he takes body potions regularly," Zhao Xinxin continued to persuade, "If that’s the case, he will be very happy if I give him this gift."

At this point, Zhao Xinxin had almost forgotten that this party was to celebrate the coming of age of Cheng Yi’s brother and that her gift was supposed to be for Cheng Yi’s brother.

Although Zhao Chengxuan felt that it was inappropriate, he changed his mind after careful consideration. The benefits at hand are worth it: "That’s fine, but you’d better say it in a more serious way when the time comes, so that you can leave yourself some leeway."

 Zhao Xinxin didn’t even bother to listen to what her father said afterwards after getting his consent. She immediately took his arm and shook it, saying coquettishly, "Don’t worry, dad, I will definitely seize this opportunity!"

She had approached Cheng Yi several times before, but the other party had always been indifferent to her. She didn’t believe the other party would still treat her like that if she took out a bottle of high quality medicine!
