"ah?"
As a businessman, Xiao Desheng is never too thin-skinned. Therefore, he pretended not to understand Yun Dazheng's words and put on a 'sincere' look, saying to Yun Dazheng, "Brother Yun, I really came here to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Think about it, if it weren't to thank you, why would I give you a gift when we're not related?"
"Of course, I know. My gift isn't extravagant, but it's not insignificant either. It's something I can present with respect."
"Of course, Brother Yun's wealth is not what it used to be, so it's understandable that he doesn't care about what I have. However, Brother Yun, it's really not that I'm unwilling to give a generous gift. It's just that I've already invested all my savings in that super-quality seed, so I'm short on money. Please forgive me."
Seeing that Xiao Desheng was still pretending to be stupid and deceiving him even after he had said so much, Yun Dazheng was getting angry. He decided not to give Xiao Desheng any more face and said sarcastically, "So, it turns out I misunderstood you, Mr. Xiao? You really did come here today just to express your gratitude, right?"
Yun Dazheng emphasized the word "only," clearly implying something.
Xiao Desheng naturally understood as well.
His purpose in coming here today was not pure to begin with, so naturally he couldn't be swayed by Yun Dazheng's words.
Of course, he wouldn't risk a falling out with Yun Dazheng over a few words.
Therefore, Xiao Desheng showed no sign of annoyance. He just shook his head with a smile and said with an innocent look, "Brother Yun, the main purpose of my visit today is indeed to thank you."
"Of course, I definitely have some other things I want to discuss with you, Brother Yun."
"I didn't bring it up right away because I thought that you, Brother Yun, are a principled and honest person, a reasonable and conscientious good person. You can understand small things easily, so there's no need to rush. That's why I didn't mention it first."
"Brother Yun, don't worry, I, Xiao Desheng, am an honest businessman. I would never do anything against my conscience..."
“Mr. Xiao,” Yun Dazheng tapped his fingers lightly on the table, looking at Xiao Desheng and said, “I, Yun Dazheng, am not the kind of person who is completely ignorant. I know very well the principle that those who eat another’s food are bound to him, and those who take another’s gifts are bound to him. So, no matter how eloquently you speak today, I will not accept this gift that you offered for no reason.”
"Please don't bring up the matter of thanking me for gifts anymore. I don't know what your intentions are, so I don't dare to think the best of you. I can only think that you are giving me a gift now, like a weasel paying respects to a chicken, with no good intentions."
"So even if you offered me a mountain of gold, I wouldn't accept it."
"If you're really sincere, then be frank and tell me your true purpose."
"Of course, I could guess a little about what Boss Xiao was here for. So, we've been going around in circles."
"Mr. Xiao is a businessman, so just state your price. If I think there's nothing wrong with it, we can naturally discuss it amicably. But if your conditions are too outrageous or unreasonable, I'm sorry. I, Yun Dazheng, am not the kind of person who suffers for the sake of saving face. I won't let myself be taken advantage of. So, Mr. Xiao, please go back the way you came, and just pretend we never met today."
