Chapter 450: Chapter 450: Gain Both Wealth and People, You’ve Made a Big Profit

“Although you saved me, I still have to kill you.”

“Even though you saved me, I still have to kill you.”

In the midst of the desert, two figures gradually walked away into the distance, Cheng Yiyi’s voice fading with the wind.

The military region competition had ended, and Long Chi undoubtedly became the first place, all credits going to Li Xiaoyao.

...

Everyone very sensibly gave Li Xiaoyao and Cheng Yiyi time and space, letting them resolve their private issues.

The slightly whistling wind hit the face head-on, making it somewhat hard to keep the eyes open.

Li Xiaoyao’s gaze lacked focus as he looked off into the distance, where the sky and the desert seemed to merge into one line, quite spectacular.

“Will you come with me?” Li Xiaoyao seemingly didn’t hear her deliberately feigned threat and asked.

Cheng Yiyi looked at his profile and after a long while, shook her head slightly. “Dad never wanted me to join the military. My eldest brother is an officer in the army, my second brother entered politics, and my third brother has made his own place in the business world. I’m the only one who doesn’t know what to do. I’ve always followed Dad since I was little, practicing martial arts and boxing. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have entered the military.”

“Do you like the military camp?”

“I don’t,” Cheng Yiyi didn’t know how to hide her feelings; she just felt that talking with Li Xiaoyao was quite relaxing.

“Then come with me.”

“I won’t go with you,” Cheng Yiyi withdrew her smile, returning to a cold demeanor, and said, “I told you, I am going to kill you.”

Li Xiaoyao was somewhat helpless but understood. The accident of that night, Cheng Yiyi certainly couldn’t let go of in a short time.

He had also felt guilty, but after much thought, he also believed that it had nothing to do with him. It was an impulsive act under an unconscious state; how could it be my fault?

“There’s a place called Medicine God Valley on Zhongnan Mountain, where I have planted many rare treasures. I lack someone to help me oversee Medicine God Valley. If you’re willing to help me, that would be fantastic,” Li Xiaoyao’s posture was rather humble, his tone carrying a trace of plea.

Cheng Yiyi instinctively wanted to refuse, but meeting Li Xiaoyao’s eyes full of hope, she felt it would be somewhat cruel to decline.

“Medicine God Valley?” Cheng Yiyi mumbled, yet she was already thinking of an excuse to agree with him.

Li Xiaoyao seemed to see her hesitation and said, “Medicine God Valley produces medicinal materials, and all of those belong to me. I think you could discuss with your third brother about opening a high-end medicinal materials store. This would definitely be a money-making channel that can’t be replicated.”

In order to lure Cheng Yiyi to his side, Li Xiaoyao was indeed resorting to any means necessary.

“My third brother deals in real estate and entertainment. He might not be very interested in this,” Cheng Yiyi had already fallen into Li Xiaoyao’s trap; at this point, she wasn’t thinking about whether or not to help but how to help.

Li Xiaoyao heard the between-the-lines in her words, grinned, and said, “Arrange for your third brother to come out. I’ll talk to him.”

“Okay.” She nodded subconsciously, then quickly explained, “I’m considering this for the family’s sake; if the medicinal materials from Medicine God Valley aren’t good, I won’t go.”

Cheng Yiyi’s increasingly awkward manner was truly endearing.

Li Xiaoyao smiled and said, “I know.”

And so it was settled. Cheng Yiyi temporarily stepped back from Canglang, and tonight she would pave the way for Li Xiaoyao, arranging a meeting with her third brother to discuss important matters.

Cheng Yiyi’s third brother had quite a reputation in Lu Province; after all, being the son of a military region commander, nobody in the business world would deny him face.

However, Cheng Yiyi’s third brother was a bit clueless, not very good at socializing.

Probably because of the strong family background, the third Cheng brother didn’t take anyone seriously. Well, there was no helping it, since the Cheng family was the local tyrant of Lu Province.

So when Cheng Yiyi called him, mentioning a friend wanted to cooperate with him in business, the third Cheng brother didn’t take it seriously at all but still gave his little sister some face, telling her to bring the person over that night, and they would talk then.

Cheng Yiyi didn’t understand the tricks of the business world; since the meeting had already been arranged, any issues would be discussed when they met that evening.

On his way back to Ling City, Li Xiaoyao turned on his phone to find many missed calls and text messages.

A quick glance showed they were all amorous messages from girls, which made Li Xiaoyao’s teeth itch with annoyance.

This group of girls, they’re definitely tempting me on purpose.

Lin Yuanyuan also sent a text message, roughly about the matter of selling Spirit Fruit. But with the limited length of a text, Lin Yuanyuan only said a few words, so Li Xiaoyao called her back.

“How’s the market for Spirit Fruit?” Li Xiaoyao asked straight to the point, without any superfluous chit-chat.

Lin Yuanyuan’s voice sounded tired, but it couldn’t hide her excitement, “There’s a huge market. After the team did some research, we eventually decided to price each Spirit Fruit at 1888 yuan.”

“1888 yuan.” This price was about what Li Xiaoyao had expected. After all, Spirit Fruits were limited, and that mountain could only grow so many fruit trees. Rarity defined value, and with limited quantities, naturally, the price had to be set high. Anyway, there were plenty of people who would buy, so why save money for those tycoons?

Li Xiaoyao asked, “What varieties do we have now?”

“Not many varieties, I’ve only planted apples, cherries, and oranges,” Lin Yuanyuan elaborated, “I found that cherries and oranges contain more Spiritual Energy, so there’s a difference in price. Oranges are priced at 2888 yuan each, while cherries are 5888 yuan per two ounces.”

“When are they going on sale?”

“You really don’t pay attention to the news,” Lin Yuanyuan’s voice clearly displeased, said, “They’ve been on the market for a while now. Lin’s Spirit Fruit has already made a name for itself, countless tycoons have pre-ordered.”

After pausing, Lin Yuanyuan added, “Xiaoyao, thank you.”

“Yikes!” Li Xiaoyao, hearing Lin Yuanyuan’s seriousness, almost dropped his phone in shock.

“Talking about thanks is too formal. Anyway, draft a contract quickly, let’s sort out the profit-sharing ratio for these Spirit Fruits.” Li Xiaoyao hurriedly changed the subject, as he very much enjoyed chatting with Lin Yuanyuan. Although most of their conversations were extremely unserious, this actually made Li Xiaoyao feel at ease.

“Profit-sharing ratio?” Lin Yuanyuan laughed, “I remember you said you were going to give me a big gift at the beginning, what, having second thoughts now?”

“Give you? When did I say that? Fuck, with such huge profits, I’m not a tycoon, how could I just give it away?”

“That’s not my problem.” Lin Yuanyuan shamelessly declared, “I’m just a weak woman hoping to earn some dowry money now, you’re not going to grab a weak woman’s dowry money, are you?”

“Weak woman…” Li Xiaoyao frowned deeply, “Tell me, in what way are you weak?”

“I’m delicate and easy to push over, how am I not weak? Hmph, anyway, I don’t care, this is my future dowry money, you’re not allowed to take it.”

“Fuck, dowry money? Who the hell would dare to marry you? Also, that’s a lot of dowry money, wouldn’t your future husband be getting too good of a deal?”

“None of your business, no money, but my life is on the line.” Lin Yuanyuan’s voice was challenging, “If you want the money, sure, marry me and take me home, you’d gain both person and wealth, a huge win for you.”
