"That's right, that's exactly it. If you don't believe me, I can take you to see him in a bit. Now you believe this isn't a scam, right?"
President Qi fully understood what Chen Feng was worried about, and at the same time secretly admired Chen Feng's composure.
Most people, under such a financial onslaught, would probably be so excited they'd lose their bearings, and wouldn't be able to think about anything else.
"Which province are you from?" Chen Feng pressed.
When Chairman Qi revealed the province where the man was employed, Chen Feng was astonished.
"I'm knocking! Isn't that my hometown province?"
"Your hometown is that province, right? You've probably seen him on TV, haven't you?" Chairman Qi asked.
“I’ve heard of him; he’s sometimes in the news,” Chen Feng nodded.
"So, are you willing to sell the goods to this person this time?" Chairman Qi quickly asked the key question.
Chen Feng pondered for a moment but didn't answer directly. Instead, he asked, "Why would this person like this?"
"Well, which man of this age doesn't have some unique hobbies?"
"This man has long lost interest in money, and he's already achieved a high enough official rank. He's not interested in women either; he just likes rare minerals."
“He has collected all kinds of minerals, and when he saw this mineral, he was particularly fond of it and said early on that he must come and bid for it.”
"Unexpectedly, something came up at the last minute, and he was delayed."
"I was out of my mind. I thought he sent someone, but he didn't. Otherwise, would this item have ended up in someone else's hands?"
President Qi was filled with regret when he talked about it.
"So that's how it is." Chen Feng finally understood what was going on, and his brain worked at lightning speed.
"So, are you willing to sell the goods to this person this time? I guarantee there won't be any scams. It's a full ten million, enough for you to live on for the rest of your life."
"If you think it's too little, that's fine. You can add more, just tell me the number."
Chairman Qi desperately hoped he would sell, so that the other party wouldn't take their anger out on him.
After a moment's thought, Chen Feng said, "President Qi, bring that item over first, and I'll go with you to see this person."
"Let's not talk about whether to sell or not. The other party hasn't even seen the item in person yet. It's hard to say whether he'll like it once he does see it."
Upon hearing this, Chairman Qi nodded and immediately ordered someone to bring the item over.
If Chen Feng is willing to compromise, things will be much easier, and there's hope for the future.
After the staff brought the goods upstairs, Chen Feng took the goods, and the two of them returned to Chairman Qi's office together.
As soon as he entered, Chen Feng saw the middle-aged man sitting in the main seat.
At first glance, the man was unremarkable, seemingly no different from an ordinary person.
"Brother, I've brought the person and explained the situation to him," Chairman Qi said as he entered the room.
"Hello, hello." The man stood up and extended his hand to Chen Feng with a smile, showing no airs whatsoever.
"Hello, hello." She shook the man's hands with both of hers as a sign of respect.
"I didn't expect the seller to be so young. He's really young and promising." The man casually invited them to sit down.
It was as if he were the host, not a guest, here; this was the aura of someone who had been at the pinnacle of power for many years.
He will make you give up the seat of honor so naturally that you won't feel anything is wrong, as if it were your natural choice.
"I often see you on TV and I admire you very much. I never thought I would be able to see you in person today. It is a great honor."
"We have to thank Chairman Qi for his introduction."
Chen Feng spoke so succinctly that even Chairman Qi didn't sense anything amiss.
"It's fate that you two are able to gather here. I'm also benefiting from your presence," Chairman Qi said with a smile.
"By the way, this item is here. Chairman Qi told me you're interested in it. You haven't seen it in person yet, have you?" Chen Feng said, taking the item out of his pocket and handing it to the man.
The man's eyes lit up the moment he saw the goods. He reached out and took them, examining them closely. The more he looked at them, the more he liked them.
This is even more beautiful and perfect than in the photos!
"It's really beautiful. I never expected to find such a perfect mineral. Nature is truly amazing." The man admired the item.
Little did he know, Chen Feng was equally moved when he saw how much he liked it.
Middle-aged men are such a strange category; men in this age group seem to have all sorts of tastes.
I won't go into detail about fishing rods; that's a pretty common hobby.
Chen Feng has also met people who like to collect lighters, chargers, and various cards.
Chen Feng never expected that even a high-ranking official in a province would be like this, and would actually enjoy collecting various minerals.
"Young man, so you're willing to sell it to me? Tell me how much, and I'll transfer the money to you." The man played with the object, clearly enjoying it.
"It's my honor that you like this. Forget about money. We're even from the same hometown. I'll just give it to you as a gift," Chen Feng said with a smile.
"Hey, hey, hey, that won't do. You should pay the full price. I can't let you lose out." The man shook his head and refused.
"No, no, no, listen to me. I've always admired you. Now that I've finally met my idol, what's a little thing like this?"
"I definitely won't take any money. Taking money would be like insulting me. Don't worry, I won't ask for anything in return. You can just take it," Chen Feng said.
The man rubbed the item together, looked up at Chen Feng, and a strange smile appeared on his lips.
They're all old foxes; don't they know what Chen Feng means?
His words were indeed eloquent, and he dared to say them; most people wouldn't dare to say, "Take it and don't ask for anything in return."
"Young man, are you sure you don't want the money? I'm asking you one last time. If you don't want it now, you won't have another chance," the man said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I definitely don't want it. You can take it as you like," Chen Feng said without hesitation.
"Okay, in that case, thank you."
The man stood up, holding something, and smiled at the two of them.
"I have something to do, so I'll be going now."
"Okay, take care."
Chen Feng stood up to see him off, without any other intention, and didn't even ask for his phone number.
"Um."
The three of them walked all the way to the door. Just as the man was about to leave, he stopped and looked back at Chen Feng.
"Aren't you afraid I'll just leave and you'll never be able to find me again?" The man looked at Chen Feng, who had a smile on his face, with great interest.
"What's there to be afraid of? Besides, I never intended to contact you in the first place. To think that I could build a relationship with you with something like this would be overestimating my own abilities," Chen Feng said with a laugh.
