The foreigner wasn’t one to back down either, and he reached out to grab the box.
Lu Miao tapped a pressure point on his elbow with her fingertip, causing his hand to go numb and retract. She took a step back, distancing herself from him, and pulled the box out of her bag.
After taking a quick look inside, she closed it with a snap and turned to the shop owner. “How much is it? I’ll take it.”
The shop owner, being generous, replied, “I acquired the Starfall Herb for 1 million, and I’ll sell it to you at that price. If Miss Lu has any good prescriptions in the future that require cooperation for promotion, just remember me.”
He could distinguish between a one-time transaction and long-term development. Lu Miao, a genius even praised by Elder Sun, had boundless prospects. Any benefits she could bring through future collaboration on prescriptions were immeasurable.
Lu Miao thought for a moment and nodded decisively. “Alright.”
She took out her phone to make the payment, but the foreign handsome guy, seeing this, quickly reached out and snatched her phone, refusing to let her pay.
Then, he swiftly took out his own phone and scanned the QR code on the wall.

1 million RMB.”
The foreign handsome guy looked smugly at Lu Miao and then said to the shop owner, “I’ve already paid the money; the herb is mine.”
Lu Miao coolly responded, “It’s RMB? It’s actually 1 million euro.” Huh? When did he mention euro?
The shop owner was a bit confused, but he didn’t dare to speak up.
The handsome guy frowned. “Nonsense! You clearly said 1 million just now, and I heard it. Don’t try to deceive me.”
“We said 1 million, but we didn’t say RMB. Since you find it expensive, that’s convenient. Give me back my phone, and I’ll buy it.”
Lu Miao turned to the shop owner and said, “Refund his money.”
The bewildered shop owner nodded and cooperated, taking out his phone and initiating the refund.
Upon seeing this, the handsome guy became anxious. “Fine, Euro it is.”
He quickly scanned the QR code again and, after hearing the confirmation sound of the payment received, immediately turned to look at Lu Miao.
“I’ve already paid 1 million Euro. Give me the herb.”
Lu Miao reluctantly handed him the box.
The foreigner happily took it and prepared to put it in his backpack. Seeing that Lu Miao wasn’t pleased, he opened the box again, plucked a small leaf from the herb, and proudly handed it to her. “Here, that’s all I can give you.”
Lu Miao:…
“Thank you,” he said cheerfully and walked away with his bag.
Lu Miao threw the leaf she was holding into the trash can. The shop owner, witnessing this, hurriedly picked it up and said, “Miss Lu, that single leaf is also valuable. ”
With one million euro per plant, even this single leaf was worth tens of thousands of euro.
“It’s fake,” Lu Miao stated bluntly.
“Ah?” The shop owner was even more puzzled.
“The Starfall Herb has exceeded three months and lost its medicinal properties,
becoming an ordinary weed. It’s just that the time it surpassed isn’t very long, so the changes aren’t obvious, and you didn’t notice,” Lu Miao explained.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe shop owner hadn’t expected to make such a mistake after working in the industry for so many years.
Somewhat perplexed, he asked, “Since you already knew it was fake, why did you say you wanted to buy it earlier?”
“If I didn’t say I wanted to buy it, how could I trick him into paying? In the past, their country took so many things from our country. Now, I’m just collecting a bit of interest from their descendants,” Lu Miao calmly replied. “Besides, he insisted on buying it, we didn’t force him.”
“That’s true. Thank you, thank you very much, Miss Lu,” the shop owner expressed his gratitude repeatedly.
Apart from the original one million RMB, he insisted on transferring the extra money to Lu Miao.
After all, if it hadn’t been for Lu Miao today, he would have lost that one million. Now, he was already pleased to recover his costs.
Just like that, Lu Miao made a trip to the medicinal herbs market. Not only did she not spend a single cent, she even earned a huge sum of money.
When Lu Miao returned home at night, she posted a bounty notice for the star falling grass on the forum.
Auntie Xiu went upstairs to look for her and said excitedly,” Miss Miaomiao, you’re really good at predicting things!
In the afternoon, Xu Min, who used to work with me at the Gu family, called me to ask about your situation. I followed your instructions and told her that you were sick and bedridden at home.”
The corners of Lu Miao’s lips curled up. This Qin Shuang really could not hold back. It would not be long before the fish took the bait.
After taking a week off at home, Lu Miao spent her days reading books, solving problems, eating, sleeping, and occasionally playing games with Lu Yinan..
