Zhang He was stunned, not understanding what Yu Yao was up to.

Some people even complained that the buyer offered too high a price and proactively lowered their offer.

Lu Ze, standing to the side, wasn't surprised at all; he had probably guessed what Yu Yao was thinking.

Trading a small benefit for an opportunity may seem like a loss, but if it can be developed into a long-term partnership, the benefits are self-evident.

Before coming, he was worried that Ayao would suffer a loss, but now it seems that he was overthinking it.

His daughter, Ayao, is definitely not the kind of person who is inflexible. Although she has never done business before, she is just as good as those seasoned business people when it comes to dealing with business people.

Lu Ze's gaze towards Yu Yao grew increasingly tender, as if he couldn't get enough of looking at her.

This was a side of A Yao he had never seen before, and it was unforgettable.

Love was like thorns, seeping into and entangling his body and soul little by little, unwavering until death, inseparable in life and death.

Yu Yao continued, "As Comrade Zhang just said, we're all old acquaintances, practically friends. Since we're friends, how can I let Comrade Zhang suffer a loss? The purchasing station sells it for five yuan, so Comrade Zhang can just give me five yuan a lamp."

Zhang He found it strange; he had received so many goods, but this was the first time he had ever seen business done this way.

This Yu Yao is quite interesting.

His gaze swept over the dried squid and dried mango on the table. Could it be that Yu Yao wanted to sell these things to him?

It's not that it's impossible. Anyway, he needs to collect dried goods for his friend, and Yu Yao's quantity is just a matter of a word for him.

Aside from that, the most important thing is Yu Yao herself.

Based on his years of experience, with such skills and expertise, the other party is bound to achieve great things in the future, so why not become friends?

Having more friends means having more options; you never know when you might need them. He always likes to plan ahead, and it's just a small favor he's doing.

Thinking about it this way, Zhang He's smile grew even brighter, and his eyes showed less calculation and more sincerity.

"Since Comrade Yu has said so, I'll consider you a friend. If I'm not mistaken, Comrade Yu is probably planning to sell these dried squid and dried mangoes at the purchasing station. I think both of them are of excellent quality. If Comrade Yu wants to sell them, why not sell them to me? We'll buy them at whatever price the purchasing station offers, and we won't treat our friend unfairly."

Yu Yao had just lowered the price to take the opportunity to get closer to him and build a good relationship so she could find a chance to talk to Zhang He about mangoes. She never expected him to offer to buy her dried mangoes.

She was just wondering how to ask if they would buy dried mangoes in a way that wouldn't seem too casual, and this was the perfect opportunity.

Yu Yao then asked, "Comrade Zhang, do you also buy dried mangoes and dried squid?"

Now that Zhang He had decided to befriend Yu Yao, he changed his previous reserved attitude and became more friendly and enthusiastic: "Generally speaking, I only accept fresh seafood. I don't accept dried squid or dried mango like this."

"However, since we're all friends, I won't hide it from you. The person who collects dried goods at our company is my childhood friend. He called me yesterday and asked me to help him collect some dried goods on the island. It doesn't matter who I collect from, so I'll naturally prioritize my friend."

"That's wonderful," Yu Yao said with delight. "Comrade Zhang He, I never expected you to be not only so handsome but also so righteous. It's my honor to be your friend."

Why is she suddenly praising me? Although what Yu Yao said was true, her directness still made me feel a little embarrassed.

Zhang He pretended to be calm, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips, so he coughed twice to cover it up.

"Comrade Yu, you flatter me too much. I am indeed better looking than the average person, but compared to your husband, I am still a bit lacking."

It was clear that he was pleased to be complimented on his good looks.

No, I should say I'm very happy.

Yu Yao thought Zhang He was a wonderful person and worth befriending.

"Comrade Zhang, I don't know how much dried mango you want to buy. I only brought a small portion with me this time. If you want more, I have more at home, all of the same quality."

Zhang He was in a good mood, thinking that Yu Yao could only make a few dozen or a hundred kilograms of dried mangoes by herself. He waved his hand and said, "We want a lot. We'll take as much as you have at home. I'll call my childhood friend in a bit."

"Comrade Zhang, we probably have too many mangoes."

Zhang He said nonchalantly, "How much can you possibly have? Our import and export specialty products company is the largest specialty products company in Guangdong Province. We need a huge amount of dried goods every year. No matter how much you have, we can handle it all. Just bring it."

Yu Yao breathed a sigh of relief. "With Comrade Zhang's words, I'm relieved. We've already dried over 2,700 jin of mangoes, and there are still over 100,000 jin left to be processed. If Comrade Zhang is in a hurry, I can have them speed things up."

"Wait!" Zhang He thought he had misheard and stiffly turned to look at Yu Yao. "You just said how many of you have left?"

"More than 2,700 jin?"

"No, it's the one after that."

"Are there still over 100,000 jin (50,000 kg) being processed?"

"Hundreds of thousands of kilograms?" Zhang He's voice suddenly rose. "How do you have so many mangoes?"

Yu Yao then told him about the side business group.

Zhang He looked a little embarrassed, wishing he could slap himself a few times for what he had just done.

Let you be so cocky, let you talk big.

His childhood friend only asked him to help collect 10,000 jin (5,000 kg). If the mangoes, which amount to over 100,000 jin (50,000 kg), were to be processed into dried goods, it would probably take 40,000 to 50,000 jin (20,000 to 25,000 kg). He couldn't make that decision.

"Comrade Yu, to be honest, the quantity of your dried mangoes is a bit beyond my expectations. I've already bought two thousand jin from others, and I can only buy another eight thousand jin. If you want to buy more, you'll have to ask my childhood friend first to determine how much you want."
