The Beauties Help Me Become the No.1 Official-Chapter 1204

Chapter 1204: Chapter 1204
Shen Shiyao, carrying her bag, walked through the bustling market, truly a beautiful sight.
Watching her tall figure disappear into the distance, Lin Yifan crouched there, finally able to start selling his goods.
The crowd flowed back and forth, bustling and lively.
Many people stopped to inquire, but upon hearing Lin Yifan’s price, they turned and left.
"It seems there are too few knowledgeable people these days."
Lin Yifan squatted there for quite a while, but didn’t see a genuine buyer.
Instead, he was eyeing many other herbs.
But the wild ginseng he had dug up still lay there honestly.
"Am I really destined to live off women?"
Lin Yifan frowned; he had cast a fortune before leaving home.
Today was supposed to be a prosperous day, which should have been very favorable for his business.
Could it be that his ability to peek into heavenly secrets had failed?
Today, he was slightly stimulated by Shen Shiyao’s flaunting of wealth, and he recalled Xu Fengxian’s words from before.
Both of these girls’ worth was much higher than his.
If this continued, wouldn’t he really become a kept man?
Just when he couldn’t help but consider casting another fortune, the appearance of a middle-aged man gave Lin Yifan hope.
"Boss, your wild ginseng is pretty nice."
The man squatted down, inspecting the roots of the wild ginseng.
After waiting so long, he finally encountered someone knowledgeable.
"Good eye."
Lin Yifan’s face showed no change.
He remained crouched, just nodded and said.
"My boss wants this ginseng; he’s eating across the street. Could you please come over? The price will definitely satisfy you."
The man’s words made Lin Yifan frown slightly.
This mysterious buyer not showing up personally was indeed interesting.
"Lead the way."
He reached out, picked up some birch bark, wrapped the ginseng up, and stuffed it into his bosom.
Lin Yifan didn’t ask much, keeping his head down and his back bent as he followed the man all the way to a grand restaurant nearby.
The luxuriously decorated restaurant was quite impressive.
Just by looking at the facade, you could tell it was the most expensive place in the county town.
Following the leading man, they arrived at a private room on the second floor. The man gestured to invite him in and gently pushed the door open.
"So mysterious, huh?"
Lin Yifan didn’t care and pushed the door open to enter.
In the luxurious private room, there was a massive table.
At this moment, the table was already filled with more than twenty exquisite dishes, the fragrance was overwhelming.
A room big enough to seat a dozen people, yet only a man in his fifties sat at the head.
His hair was slicked back, wearing a traditional Chinese outfit, with gold wire-framed glasses.
His eyes were sharp, assessing the shabby Lin Yifan.
"I’ve heard there’s a wild ginseng on the market; can you show me your treasure?"
"Sure."
Lin Yifan took out the wild ginseng from his bosom and placed it on the revolving table.
With a casual spin, the wild ginseng slid to the man’s side.
"Wow, it’s indeed pure wild ginseng. Haven’t seen good eighty-year-old goods for a long time. You’ve struck it rich this time. Two million should be enough, right?"
The man examined the wild ginseng on the birch bark, deliberated a bit, and showed a satisfied expression.
"Boss, you’ve misjudged, this wild ginseng is only sixty years old, so it’s not expensive; just eight hundred thousand will do!"
Lin Yifan looked at the man in confusion; his behavior was somewhat odd.
He should be knowledgeable, yet he’s overestimating it by twenty years, making the price entirely different.
"This is the first time I’ve heard that a seller says the buyer’s misjudged and lowers the price; could it be that you’re quite well-off?"
Hearing this, the man suddenly laughed.
"Since you’re knowledgeable, you should understand the difference between sixty and eighty years clearly. Occasionally, making an error is normal. I don’t make profit without conscience; whatever it’s worth, it’s worth. If I weren’t in urgent need of money, I’d ask for even less."
Lin Yifan doesn’t make profit without conscience.
Moreover, this eight hundred thousand was to extend his mother’s life.
"Alright, just for your honesty, which is better than this wild ginseng, I’ll say two million, then two million. You must take the money; I consider it making a friend. Remember to bring me any good stuff in the future."
The man pressed the phone, and soon after, the private room door was pushed open.
A waiter with a tray came in, placing two boxes of cash on the table.
"If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll definitely bring it to you, but forget about the extra money. I’m just a mountain dweller, not worth this price. We’re each taking what we need, and that’s great."
Lin Yifan took a suitcase, counted out eight hundred thousand, and placed the remaining one million two hundred thousand back on the table.
Without further ado, he turned to leave.
But before he could pull the door, it was pushed open from the outside.
Shen Shiyao, in a white dress, stood in front of him with a smile.
"How can you sell things like this? When someone offers more, you don’t take it. Just take it."
"I thought something was fishy. How could such an expert make an error? So, it was you behind this."
Lin Yifan already had some doubts; the man’s approach had an ulterior motive.
As it turns out, Shen Shiyao was behind this.
"Anyway, my uncle is not short on money; consider it as supporting our rural healthcare."
Shen Shiyao unhesitatingly grabbed the remaining money, ready to give it to Lin Yifan.
Lin Yifan rejected without hesitation.
"I know you mean well, but rural healthcare has nothing to do with my clinic. I’ll take what I deserve and sleep soundly."
"Good lad, your words have a nice ring to it. Take what you deserve—such a simple truth, yet most people don’t get it. No wonder my niece thinks highly of you; you have integrity."
Li Fengnian nodded approvingly.
Hearing her uncle praise Lin Yifan, Shen Shiyao was as sweet as if she’d eaten honey.
"Since you’ve sold everything, no need to pretend. Go upstairs, take a shower, and change your clothes, then we’ll eat."
She handed the bag to Lin Yifan, his outfit not quite matching the dinner gathering.
"Okay."
Lin Yifan agreed, carrying the bag, following the guide out of the private room.
"Uncle, isn’t he great?"
Shen Shiyao quickly ran to her uncle’s side.
Sweets in her heart, she knew her marriage was not so simple.
They all say that a mother’s brother holds great authority.
If she could get her uncle’s support, it would surely help greatly in future talks with her parents.
"If it were someone else, they’d desperately ask for more money, and wouldn’t refuse my friendship. So, it shows that this young man has decent character, acts with discretion, doesn’t pull strings, doesn’t seek profit. But that only means he has a good nature, not some grand quality, at most a good first impression. And are you really ready to ruin your marriage with the Tang Family for a rural boy?"
Li Fengnian slightly frowned and said.
"My marriage agreement with the Tang Family was forced by my dad; I was compelled before, but now I know what I want. Are honest people not rare anymore these days?"
Shen Shiyao pouted, feeling a headache whenever the marriage agreement was mentioned.
"Honesty is one thing, but not everyone is worthy of our family. You also mentioned that he wants to stay in the village. Just that alone makes it impossible for you to be together. Also, the Tang Family won’t just let this go. Do you really know how big of a mess you’ve made? Forget it. Your mom, my sister, already instructed that when the master arrives, he should take a look at what the kid is capable of?"
"Master? What master?"
"Feng Shui Master!"
