Li Yang quickly arrived at the Grand Golden Pavilion Hotel. Before long, he saw Manager Fang already waiting for him downstairs.
"Divine Doctor Li!" Fang Ping hurried forward, obsequiously taking the vegetables from Li Yang while whispering, "I found out what happened. That sly vixen Wang Xiangqin somehow hooked up with our boss, so now the boss wants to work with them again."
Li Yang was so angry he had to laugh.
’Can’t we just do business? Why does there have to be so much of this under-the-table crap? This isn’t right!’
"Your boss doesn’t have problems getting it up, does he?" Li Yang asked.
Manager Fang looked hurt and said helplessly, "No, my boss is in great shape. My wife says he’s really good in bed."
Li Yang looked at Manager Fang, feeling as if he had just stumbled upon something incredible.
’Crap, he let that slip!’
Manager Fang gave an awkward laugh.
"Here, this is your aphrodisiac," Li Yang said, handing him a small bottle of the snake wine he had prepared. It had only been a few days, but the effects should still be potent.
"Just drink about a shot’s worth at a time. Don’t overdo it, or you might just screw yourself to death. And, uh... go home and have a good, long ’discussion’ with your wife," Li Yang said teasingly.
"Yes, yes, of course!" After his last experience, Manager Fang had immense faith in Li Yang. "Don’t worry, I’ll try to win the boss over."
"Alright! By the way, take these oyster mushrooms to the kitchen. Have them cook them up and send them to the boss’s office right away. I have a use for them."
"Okay, I’ll go right now!"
Just then, a white sedan pulled in, and Wang Xiangqin and Gao Jinming got out together.
"Damn it, you’ve got some fucking nerve!" Gao Jinming sneered. "You think you can actually interfere with this?"
"Why take a private car when you’re clearly public transport?" Li Yang was furious too, but he didn’t erupt. Instead, he spoke with a cold edge.
’I haven’t even settled the score with you two for what you did to Aunt Xiu, and now you dare to be rude to me?’
Seeing them speak to him like that, he naturally unleashed his sharp tongue.
"You!" Wang Xiangqin understood the implication behind Li Yang’s words and was absolutely fuming.
Manager Fang snickered.
’This woman really is a shameless bitch. Useless with me, so she goes and hooks the boss instead.’
’So shameless!’
"You, Li! Don’t get cocky!" This wasn’t exactly something to be proud of, and Gao Jinming felt a sharp sting in his heart. "You just wait... Hmph. You bought all those vegetables, let’s see what you do now! You’ll lose a fortune!"
’Idiot. We’ll see who loses a fortune!’
Li Yang shook his head.
"You’re all here!" Han Qiuyue came downstairs just then and said to them, "Let’s go up. The boss is already waiting for you."
"Hmph!" Wang Xiangqin moved faster than anyone else, even getting into the elevator first and shutting the doors on them, riding up alone.
"Gao Jinming, you’ve got quite the pasture growing on your head. Don’t you think you should trim it?" Li Yang couldn’t help but taunt.
"You, Li! Are you fucking looking to die?" Gao Jinming was so angry that all the fat on his body trembled.
Han Qiuyue snorted with laughter. ’Gao Jinming and his wife really are shameless,’ she thought, ’but Li Yang, you have a truly venomous tongue.’
Soon, they arrived at the boss’s office upstairs.
When they entered, they saw Wang Xiangqin sitting smugly beside the boss.
Clearly, the two of them had already come to an agreement.
Previously, Li Yang might have felt a bit panicked, but now he wasn’t afraid at all.
"Boss, this is Mr. Li," Han Qiuyue said, stepping forward. "The quality of his vegetables is excellent, just as good as Boss Gao’s. Plus, he’s acquired a large quantity this time, so he can meet our supply needs."
It was obvious Han Qiuyue was speaking up for Li Yang.
The boss looked to be in his fifties. He was well-built, likely from years of working out at the gym, and appeared quite young for his age.
’Sigh, he’s in pretty good shape!’
Li Yang couldn’t help but feel it was a shame. There was no room here for his medical skills to shine.
’Then again, I’m not really interested in men. If you were a beautiful woman, I’d find a disease for you even if you were perfectly healthy.’
"You don’t need to say any more," the boss said, shaking his head. "I’ve already made my decision on this matter. This little farmer... send him home."
Wang Xiangqin and Gao Jinming both broke into triumphant smiles. ’Let’s see what you do now.’
Han Qiuyue and Manager Fang grew anxious.
"Boss, isn’t this a bit unfair? He’s already purchased so many vegetables..." Manager Fang began. "It’s not easy running a small business, and he came all this way..."
"Fang Ping, what are you babbling about? Are you the boss here?" Wang Xiangqin said shrilly.
Manager Fang immediately fell silent.
Han Qiuyue also wanted to speak.
But just then, Li Yang spoke up. "So you’re refusing to work with me, Boss? Fine. No deal. Just make sure you don’t regret it."
"Regret it?" Gao Jinming laughed coldly. "Who do you think you are? You really think too highly of yourself!"
Just then, the door creaked open.
A waiter entered with a dish. "Boss, here is the dish the kitchen prepared for you."
With that, he lifted the lid.
Billowing steam instantly rose from the dish, and along with it, an extraordinary aroma.
Everyone present froze the moment they smelled it.
It was incredibly fragrant!
The boss picked up his chopsticks and took a bite.
It was unbelievably delicious!
He excitedly took several more bites before asking anxiously, "Where did these mushrooms come from? They’re incredible! This is the kind of quality that’s worthy of our hotel! Buy them. Buy all of them! And pay a high price!"
Fang Ping froze for a second, then it hit him. He said timidly, "Boss... those are the oyster mushrooms supplied by Boss Li."
