Chapter 59 Casting a Net
Hei Er didn't care. What was there for a student to care about? He might be supported by Lin Xi.
I didn't realize that this girl likes the pretty boy type.
"Second Master, do you want me to urge them again?" He Zhen said.
"No need. If you push her too hard, she'll get suspicious." Hei Er said.
Two days later, Lin Xi took the initiative to find He Zhen and put forward a condition, "I can give you the exclusive right to sell bacon, but three times is not enough, I want ten times."
"Ten times?" He Zhen could no longer maintain his gentle expression. Was this woman crazy? After all, it was just pork. Ten taels of silver for a piece of pork, and it was sold for gold.
"Boss Lin, isn't your price a bit too high?" He Zhen couldn't help but say.
Lin Xi didn't think there was anything wrong with his offer. "How can it be high? Let me do the math. First, our Lin's bacon business has always been good. The taste is unique in the whole town and the market prospects are very good. Second, I only have fifty pieces of bacon now. If we calculate it as ten taels of silver per piece, it's only five hundred taels. It's a good deal to buy out this business with just five hundred taels."
After all, He Zhen was not a real businessman. After hearing Lin Xi's words, he didn't know how to respond. He could only say, "Well, I need to go back and think about it again."
The matter of five hundred taels of silver was beyond his control.
Inn in town.
"Second Master, Lin Xi is going crazy this time. She's asking for five hundred taels." He Zhen quickly repeated what Lin Xi had said to him to Hei Er. At the end, he angrily said, "Do you think she's crazy about money?"
"Give it to her." Hei Er said in a deep voice.
Um?
For a moment, He Zhen wondered if he was hallucinating. Hei Er actually agreed. That was five hundred taels of silver.
Isn't it rumored that Hei Er has been destroyed by Zang Wenwu? How could he still come up with so much money?
What Hei Er was thinking was that the five hundred taels of silver he spent on the painting would make Lin Xi bankrupt, so it was well worth it!
As for He Zhen, since Hei Er had united, he couldn't persuade her any more. He could only go find Lin Xi again and tell her that he was willing to buy Lin Xi's bacon at ten times the price.
After Lin Xi sold the bacon, he immediately wrote a sign saying that the business was closed.
This scared Dai Jiner. The store was doing well, so why was it suddenly closing? Was it going to close down?
Lin Xi comforted him, "It's just closed temporarily, don't think too much about it."
That being said, Dai Jiner felt that Lin Xi was clearly just forcing herself.
But it doesn't matter. Xiao Yongyan can make money anyway. Even if Lin Ji is closed in the future, Lin Xi will not starve as long as Xiao Yongyan is around.
…
He Zhen acted very quickly, as if he was worried that Lin Xi would go back on his word. After confirming the delivery time, he arranged for people to take away all the bacon.
Before leaving, He Zhen's men confirmed again and again whether Lin Xi's warehouse was empty.
Lin Xi was left in a state of confusion as to whether to laugh or cry. This was a rare opportunity to carry passengers. Did they think that they would let them go and withhold some of the meat?
On this side, He Zhen brought a large basket of bacon to Hei Er.
Hei Er looked at it one by one, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Can this black thing be eaten? And can it be sold at such a high price?"
He Zhen said quickly, "Second Master, it's absolutely true. Almost everyone in town has one now. Lin's business is quite good."
"Forget it, it's not important. Have you arranged the banquet I asked you to arrange?" Hei Er asked.
He Zhen nodded immediately, "It has been arranged long ago, Second Master. All the important people in our town will be present this time. Most importantly, Lord Zang has also agreed."
"That's good. Let me see how this little girl escapes this time." Hei Er said viciously.
…
Lin Xi received an invitation letter saying that through He Zhen's introduction, the county Chamber of Commerce invited her to attend the Chamber of Commerce's annual gathering.
Lin Xi, who received the invitation, looked at the invitation and just found it funny.
The so-called chamber of commerce that I have never had contact with suddenly invited me to a party. It seemed like a Hongmen Banquet no matter how I looked at it.
In the evening, she told this to Xiao Yongyan as a joke.
After listening to this, Xiao Yongyan frowned slightly and asked, "You want to go?"
"Of course I'd go. Why not go and see what's going on and how to get rid of these obstacles?" Lin Xi's eyes deepened.
She has never wanted to offend anyone, but there are always people who dislike her and want to trick her.
Now she has offended Hei Er and the county magistrate. If she just sits there and waits for death, she can guarantee that it is only a matter of time before she is killed.
"I'll go with you." Xiao Yongyan said.
Lin Xi refused without a second thought, "I can go alone. If anything happens, there must be someone who can save me."
This made sense, but for the first time, Xiao Yongyan didn't want to admit it.
"Husband," Lin Xi softened her tone, "Just wait for me outside the door. If I have any questions, I will signal you as soon as possible. Is that okay?"
After spending some time together, Lin Xi gradually understood Xiao Yongyan's temper. Anything decided by this man seemed difficult to change, but as long as she was willing to soften her temper and slowly talk to Xiao Yongyan, Xiao Yongyan would eventually give in and agree with Lin Xi's approach.
At this moment, Lin Xi also used all her acting skills and tried her best to "act coquettishly" towards Xiao Yongyan.
"If you really want me to wait outside, it's not impossible." Xiao Yongyan thought for a while and finally gave in.
Before Lin Xi had time to be happy, Xiao Yongyan made another request, "Madam, should you show your sincerity?"
Now, it was Lin Xi's turn to be speechless. What did "show one's sincerity" mean? She had just been trying hard to act coquettishly and cutely. Wasn't that sincerity?
Seeing Lin Xi's confused expression, Xiao Yongyan smiled slightly, giving her a hint, "Why don't you take the initiative, Madam?"
Lin Xi's head exploded with a bang. What does it mean to take the initiative? What should I take the initiative to do?
Please forgive her for having seen too many things she shouldn't have seen before, so that many indescribable images are popping up in her mind now.
As she thought about it, Lin Xi's face turned red, and she seemed to be completely lost in her own emotions.
Xiao Yongyan originally just wanted to tease Lin Xi, but he didn't know what his wife was thinking about, and her little face turned red, which was very cute.
"Alas." Xiao Yongyan sighed. Perhaps his wife had been well educated and knew very little about this aspect.
If Lin Xi could hear Xiao Yongyan's inner voice, she would probably jump up in anger. How little did she know? She knew a lot, maybe even more than he did, but she just couldn't say it!
Xiao Yongyan walked to Lin Xi, stroked her long hair tenderly, and kissed her lips lightly, "What a little fool, you talk so nicely, but you don't know how to put it into action."
Lin Xi felt dizzy from being kissed suddenly. Xiao Yongyan's handsome face was so close that she could even hear his shallow breathing.
He is so handsome.
