Chapter 289 Inviting Yan Tian
Lan Shiruo curled her lips. Are you still afraid that they will snatch it away?
"We'll exchange as much as we can. When we grow enough crops, if we have any leftovers, we can also exchange them with City O."
Wang Xifa chuckled. Is this a slap in the face? Don't think he's too embarrassed to exchange. As long as you can grow it, he'll openly exchange it. These days, face is less important than life. "Okay, but the price of seeds and finished products is different. Although seeds are worthless to others now, they are worth a fortune to me. So, the fee will be several percent higher."
“It should be.”
The deal was done and everyone was happy. Wang Xifa was secretly proud of it. He said, why should we get bloody when we can sit down and talk it out? The Dragon and Phoenix Team is a reasonable team.
Haha, my friends, they don’t like to reason at all.
Yan Tian was still worried. The matter between the Dragon and Phoenix Team and Wang Xifa had been settled, but why did they keep him?
It's not just a cup of tea, is it?
So boring?
Wang Xifa was really sincere and exchanged half of all seed and seedling stocks for the big team.
The friends also spent materials that were 30% higher than the value of the finished goods, which is not a loss. As long as there is space, you can grow anything. You don’t have to worry about having clothes to wear in the future, as you can be self-sufficient in cotton, linen and silk.
After the exchange, the Dragon and Phoenix team showed no sign of leaving. Wang Xifa's heart ached. Were they going to have a meal? How should he treat them? If it was too good, he'd be reluctant to part with it. If it was too bad, he'd lose face. It was really frustrating.
Your friends rolled their eyes and pretended not to see it. They didn't want the food in your house at all.
Lan Shiruo looked at Yan Tian, and Yan Tian's heart skipped a beat. Here it comes.
"Captain Yan, don't be nervous. I just have a suggestion and want to ask Captain Yan's opinion."
Yan Tian's thoughts turned, his expression solemn, "Young lady, please speak."
Lan Shiruo curled her lips and said, "I'm quite straightforward. If what I say is unpleasant or wrong, please don't mind it, Captain Yan."
Yan Tian didn’t think much about it at first, but after Lan Shiruo said this, he started to think too much. Was she going to scold him?
"No problem, girl, just go ahead."
Lan Shiruo smiled. "I've only been with Captain Yan for an hour or two, and we've exchanged no more than ten sentences. My understanding of him remains superficial. I have some personal opinions. I think Captain Yan is mediocre, with some slight leadership skills. He lacks authority in front of the team members, but he's not a coward either. He's cautious, but not domineering enough. He's always worried about getting into trouble, which makes him lack some courage. Although he can survive for a long time in the apocalypse, he can only stay here, with no room for improvement. This is neither good nor bad. He can be considered mediocre, following the crowd, unable to stand out. He's a bit indecisive, prefers to keep things quiet, lacks blood and decisiveness, and is easily influenced by others. I wonder if I'm right?"
Wang Xifa raised his eyebrows. Is this intended to stir up hatred?
Yan Tian's face turned pale. He knew his own faults, but being publicly criticized made him feel awkward and angry. However, he had promised not to get angry. He had dug a hole for himself, so he had no choice but to endure it, or else he would lose face and dignity. "Yan knows that I have many shortcomings. Thank you for your advice, young lady."
Lan Shiruo smiled, "I didn't remind you."
All the friends felt embarrassed for Yan Tian.
Yan Tian curled his lips, not knowing what to say.
Lan Shiruo continued, "I'm saying this to pave the way. Everyone has shortcomings, but as long as they don't endanger principles or the interests, lives, or safety of others, minor flaws can be tolerated and given a chance to correct. I believe your strengths can outweigh your weaknesses."
Yan Tian looked at Lan Shiruo. He was belittled by her as worthless, yet she could still point out her strengths?
Lan Shiruo said naturally, "Your strengths are that you are responsible, you value your reputation, and you never abandon or give up on your companions. I admire that very much."
Yan Tian felt like he was slapped in the face and then given a sweet date.
Wang Xifa felt something was wrong. What was going on? He was praising her for no reason. "What are your plans, young lady?"
Lan Shiruo continued, "Yes, I hope the base commander will approve of this."
Wang Xifa wanted to slap himself. He replied without any reason, "It depends on what the matter is. There are some things that I, Wang, cannot make decisions on my own."
Lan Shiruo nodded in agreement. "Of course, I just want the base commander to express his opinion. I won't embarrass him."
Wang Xifa was relieved. As long as it wasn't about money or life, it would be fine. "No problem, girl, just tell me. I will definitely support you."
"Thank you, Mr. Wang." Lan Shiruo smiled and turned to look at Yan Tian. "In Shicheng, we require all personnel to never betray their companions. Your strengths meet our requirements, so we sincerely invite you to join Shicheng, lead the team, and contribute to Shicheng. Shicheng will also give you corresponding rewards, which will definitely not be worse than O City. The base commander has just agreed. The rest depends on your opinion."
Wang Xifa is trying to poach his girlfriend right in front of him and asking him to jump into the trap. Isn't that too much?
Lan Shiruo took out a pound of green tea and said, "I'm sorry for disturbing you by visiting me today. This is just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you won't mind it, Base Commander."
Wang Xifa was in a dilemma. Between a medium-sized team and a pack of green tea, how should he choose?
He silently stretched out his claws and pulled the green tea in front of him, "Thank you, young lady. I like this tea very much."
Yan Tian: So, you sold him for a bag of tea?
Lan Shiruo smiled and waited for Yan Tian's answer.
Yan Tian was tempted. After all, Shicheng and the Dragon and Phoenix Team were both mysterious entities with strong reputations and strengths. Although Shicheng was a small place, there was no guarantee that they would achieve great things in the future.
However, everything is just a rumor now. No one knows whether Shicheng and the Dragon and Phoenix team are really as rumored. Although I had a close encounter with the Dragon and Phoenix team today, and they are indeed extraordinary, how can I easily make a conclusion without a long time of getting to know them?
He himself is not an ambitious person, but he also wants to make some achievements, rather than just stay in O City doing nothing. To be honest, if Lan Shiruo hadn't said it, he really didn't know that he had his strengths.
He always felt that Lan Shiruo was his mentor, and if he missed her, he would regret it for the rest of his life. But starting from scratch, everything was unknown, and he was a little worried.
Yan Tian was wavering, undecided. Lan Shiruo didn't give him much time to think. This lack of decisiveness was Yan Tian's fault and needed to be changed. "Captain Yan, time is running out. Please make a decision as soon as possible."
"What's there to think about? It's just a matter of a few words about whether to go or not. Is it necessary to think about it for so long? Men, be straightforward and stop being fussy and like a woman." Feng Tao roared angrily.
The sudden roar made Yan Tian tremble, and his old face turned red with shame.
"Oh, hurry up, it's getting dark and we still have two hours to go. Don't waste time." Ding Jiajia also urged slowly.
"That's right, being nagging is not manly at all. We are very busy." Miaomiao fanned the flames with a look of disgust.
"If you're a man, tell me quickly."
"explain."
"explain."
"explain."
The little friends spoke one by one, and Yan Tian was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. He opened his mouth and said, "Okay, let's go."
The friends laughed, went back to their own places, and continued eating and drinking.
Yan Tian wiped away a tear of bitterness. Is it easy? He was so conflicted.
