C154 – Effect
Upon seeing Su Ming’s bewildered look, Wang Guohui was at a loss for words.
The asking price was just too low.
Who exactly was Mr. Su?
And what was this dicine?
“Mr. Su, my apologies. Please, just na your price, and I’ll have the money wired to you right away!” Wang Guohui pleaded urgently.
He simply couldn’t afford to alienate Su Ming.
His connection with Su Ming was of utmost importance.
Thankfully, they were within the privacy of Su Ming’s villa, enclosed by towering walls.
Their conversation was hushed, ensuring that no passersby could eavesdrop.
Otherwise, outraged onlookers might have stord in and demolished the villa!
In the market, a large bunch of fennel could be had for a re 10 yuan.
Observing Wang Guohui’s tense deanor, Su Ming couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Don’t overthink it.”
With a smile, Su Ming gave him a reassuring pat on the shoulder. “You’ve done well.”
Truth be told, the money was a trifle to Su Ming.
Not long ago, he had raked in several billion.
For Su Ming now, money was rely a series of digits.
What truly mattered was his five-acre property in the heart of the city.
Wang Guohui breathed a deep sigh of relief, only then noticing his sweat-soaked clothes.
With a laugh, he said, “Mr. Su, as long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters. I’ll be on my way now!”
With that, Wang Guohui turned and made his exit.
Old Sun sat in his car, examining a piece of fennel with scrutiny.
Could it be that he’d been duped?
Still, Wang Guohui was an old friend.
Resolved, Old Sun decided to just eat it.
At that mont, Wang Guohui climbed into the car.
“Old Sun, let’s get you ho. Oh, right, you didn’t drive. I’ll take you. And when you get there, have your wife whip up sothing good for you.”
“I’m telling you, if this doesn’t work, I’ll pay you back ten tis over,” he assured.
Old Sun blinked in confusion. “Is it only effective when fried?”
“What’s the matter?”
Wang Guohui had just started the car and was about to drive off when he suddenly realized sothing and slamd on the brakes. “You didn’t eat it raw, did you?”
Old Sun’s face was the picture of bewildernt.
Could it be?
He felt as though he’d thrown his money away.
Wang Guohui asked urgently, “Do you feel anything?”
Truth be told, he wasn’t sure if Old Sun could eat the fennel raw; he always cooked it at ho before consuming it.
Tears in his eyes, Old Sun replied, “Nothing.”
Despair washed over Old Sun.
Wang Guohui had just ntioned how incredibly rare the fennel was.
But in his haste, Old Sun had eaten it without knowing the proper way to do so.
Wang Guohui couldn’t help but exclaim, “Why did you rush into it?”
Old Sun was filled with regret.
As he was on the verge of tears, he suddenly froze.
He noticed a gradual warmth in his lower abdon, and his bodily functions were slowly being restored.
Old Sun blinked in astonishnt.
Wang Guohui realized what was happening.
Clapping Old Sun on the shoulder, he said, “See, I didn’t lie to you, did I?”
“You didn’t,” Old Sun confird.
In his youth, Old Sun hadn’t taken good care of himself, and his health had suffered for it.
It had been ages since he’d felt this good.
“So, was it a fair trade?” Wang Guohui asked.
Old Sun, with dramatic flair, declared, “This is the most worthwhile transaction of my entire life.”
It was only then that Old Sun truly grasped the truth in Wang Guohui’s earlier words.
Even if the fennel was valued at a hundred million, there would be buyers.
“Old Wang, I’ve been in this city for so ti, yet I’ve never heard of Mr. Su. What’s his story? Could you introduce us?” Old Sun inquired, his curiosity piqued. He was eager to learn who Su Ming was.
Wang Guohui quickly shook his head, “Mr. Su’s choice to farm in the city center speaks volus—he shuns the lilight and prefers not to make too many acquaintances. Please, don’t bother him.”
Old Sun sighed, a twinge of disappointnt in his breath.
Wang Guohui wouldn’t be making introductions to Mr. Su.
To him, Mr. Su was an almost divine figure.
Thus, he wouldn’t allow anyone to disrupt Mr. Su’s peaceful existence.
