Chapter 455: Chapter 455: Let’s Chat When We Have Ti
Li Xiaoyao’s words were directed to Cheng Dongliang and Xiao Dingguo, but Lin Yuanyuan followed along as well. When Cheng Yiyi saw her going, she hesitated for two seconds before also following.
Therefore, what was originally a eting of three people—Li Xiaoyao, Cheng, and Xiao—turned into a gathering of five.
After the five left, the venue gradually returned to order, everyone still chatting and laughing, only this ti, their voices were sowhat lowered.
In a small conference room separated from the press conference, the group took their seats. Cheng Dongliang took out cigarettes and offered them around. Although the two girls weren’t too comfortable with the smoke, they didn’t say anything, after all, Li Xiaoyao had called them over as well.
“Lin Yuanyuan, my friend,” Li Xiaoyao was the first to speak, introducing Lin Yuanyuan straight away.
This move carried a different aning in Cheng Dongliang’s eyes, effectively telling him that she was one of their own, and that it was necessary to look after her appropriately.
...
Cheng Dongliang said, “I ca today specifically for this Spirit Fruit release event. Yuanyuan, won’t you get so fruits for this old man to try?”
Lin Yuanyuan’s eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled and said, “Uncle Cheng, don’t rush, I had soone fetch them just before we ca in.”
Just as her words fell, a knock at the door was heard, and a woman dressed in professional attire ca in with a plate of fruit.
“Leaders, please enjoy,” the woman said as she placed the fruit plate on the round table before leaving.
As soon as the Spirit Fruits were brought into the room, everyone’s gaze was glued to them.
A fragrant aroma emanated from the Spirit Fruits, enchanting all who slled it. One whiff was enough to make one feel relaxed all over.
“This Spirit Fruit indeed contains Spiritual Energy,” Cheng Dongliang picked up an orange, sniffed it below his nose, and his face showed a hint of surprise.
The concentration of Spiritual Energy within the Spirit Fruits exceeded his expectations. He hadn’t held out much hope when he ca today, but after seeing the fruits, he realized he had underestimated Lin Yuanyuan.
Lin Yuanyuan, grinning from ear to ear, said, “Uncle Cheng, Uncle Xiao, go ahead and eat. These Spirit Fruits were picked not long ago but if left for too long, their Spiritual Energy will diminish.”
“All right, then let’s have a taste, but you know, this old man has no money, so don’t ask for paynt after I’m done eating,” Cheng Dongliang said with a laugh.
“Uncle Cheng, if you like them, I’ll arrange to have them delivered to you on a regular basis. Of course, I can’t take any money for them; you are my elder, and if my dad knew I charged you, he would definitely scold ,” Lin Yuanyuan spoke well, framing their relationship as one between an elder and a junior, thereby naturally avoiding any financial ties.
“Heh, you’re quite the girl,” said Cheng Dongliang with a chuckle as he shook his head, then asked, “These Spirit Fruits, did you grow them yourself?”
Lin Yuanyuan’s eyes fluttered as she glanced towards Li Xiaoyao and pouted, “I’m just the transporter, I don’t have the ability to grow such high-quality fruits myself. Xiaoyao is the one who did all this, I’m just helping him sell.”
“Oh?” Cheng Dongliang was sowhat surprised but then he understood. Miracles were never scarce around Li Xiaoyao, so this made sense to him.
“Xiaoyao, how big is the area where these fruits are planted?” Cheng Dongliang was slightly intrigued. If there were a lot of fruits, he thought about discussing it with Li Xiaoyao to see if he could get a share. He felt Li Xiaoyao probably wouldn’t refuse.
Li Xiaoyao exhaled a puff of smoke and said indifferently, “Forget about that fruit garden, but I’ve already told Yiyi that if she has ti, she could go to Zhongnan Mountain to take care of the dicine God Valley for . The contract I was talking about with your son earlier, that’s what it’s about.”
“Zhongnan Mountain? dicine God Valley?” Cheng Dongliang looked puzzled, yet he knew that anything Li Xiaoyao personally handled would be far from ordinary.
Li Xiaoyao nodded and asked, “There is a sect on Zhongnan Mountain called dicine God Valley, have you heard of it?”
“I have heard of dicine God Valley, but that sect wields imnse power. Ordinary people can’t even think of asking them for dicine, much less get through their front gate.” Cheng Dongliang said with a sigh, “I rember once when I sent soone to request dicine, they ended up waiting outside the gates of dicine God Valley for over a month before they finally got in, and it cost a hefty price to obtain the dicinal ingredients.”
“Oh.” Li Xiaoyao’s expression remained unchanged as he indifferently said, “dicine God Valley is now mine. In the future, if you want dicinal ingredients, just talk to directly.”
“Yours?” Cheng Dongliang exclaid with his heart pounding. That was dicine God Valley, a major sect with a history of hundreds of years. How could it suddenly beco Li Xiaoyao’s?
Without going into details, Li Xiaoyao simply said, “I plan to cultivate a batch of dicinal ingredients in dicine God Valley. If your son’s sales channels are good, I will leave it to him. If not, I believe with the quality of the dicinal ingredients, finding one or two major partners shouldn’t be a problem.”
“Definitely no problem,” Cheng Dongliang imdiately responded. “Although Bayi sotis sses around, he is absolutely skillful in business. You can rest assured about that.”
“Hmm.” Li Xiaoyao then looked towards Cheng Yiyi and asked, “Think about it, after all, if we really do partner up, soone will have to stay in dicine God Valley for a while to record the growth cycle of the dicinal ingredients.”
“I have no problem with that, I am ready at any ti,” Cheng Yiyi said without hesitation, which surprised Li Xiaoyao a bit. This woman had not been so straightforward before.
But Li Xiaoyao did not know that the way Lin Yuanyuan had conducted herself had greatly surprised Cheng Yiyi.
The poise of a mature career woman, the confidence shown in every gesture, each aspect was challenging Cheng Yiyi.
Did Li Xiaoyao like such won?
Perhaps there was no man who wouldn’t like such won.
Cheng Yiyi felt deeply challenged. Unconsciously, she regarded Lin Yuanyuan as a target she needed to surpass. She had never felt like today that it was ti for her to change. To beco more feminine and appealing, rather than being fierce and cold.
“I’m certainly not doing it for his sake,” Cheng Yiyi would of course not admit that Li Xiaoyao was the driving force behind all these changes.
The plate of Spirit Fruit was only being eaten by Cheng Dongliang and Xiao Dingguo, yet just these two n managed to create an atmosphere as if an army was crossing a single-plank bridge.
“Knock, knock, knock.” The woman from before knocked and entered again, holding a contract in her hand that Hu Bayi had just had urgently drafted.
This was a standard contract, which ntioned none of the details of the collaboration, because Li Xiaoyao had not discussed with him what exactly they were going to collaborate on.
Li Xiaoyao signed his na on it and handed it to Cheng Yiyi: “You write down the specifics. I’ve got to go if there’s nothing else.”
“Xiaoyao,” Xiao Dingguo suddenly called out to him, the hesitation in his expression causing Li Xiaoyao’s heart to skip a beat, feeling an ominous premonition.
“Is there a problem, Uncle Xiao?” The current status of Xiao Dingguo in Li Xiaoyao’s heart was no different from Cheng Dongliang, since he had slept with the man’s daughter.
Xiao Dingguo glanced at the few people in the room, saying, “We should have a talk when you have ti.”
“Alright.”
