C137 – Another Hundred Million
Startled awake, Xue Zixi quickly responded.
“Yes, absolutely!”
“I’m willing to offer 50 million to purchase Mr. Jiang’s batch of mutated vegetable seeds!”
Xue Zixi’s opening bid was a staggering 50 million!
Yet, Jiang Hao simply looked at her and smiled, remaining silent.
50 million was a substantial amount, but he hadn’t even disclosed the most impressive qualities of the mutated vegetables yet!
If Xue Zixi knew about the remarkable beauty and skincare benefits of just the cabbage she had eaten, she would surely have bid more than 50 million for these five types of mutated vegetable seeds!
In fact, 50 million might not even suffice to purchase one type of the mutated vegetable seeds!
Seeing that her offer didn’t meet Jiang Hao’s expectations, Xue Zixi paused briefly before speaking up again.
“Let’s do this, Mr. Jiang, I’ll raise my bid to 100 million. How about selling all five types of mutated vegetable seeds to me?”
She pressed on, determined.
“If Mr. Jiang finds this price unsatisfactory, then I’m at a loss for what to do!”
Xue Zixi doubled her bid in one breath!
Had the mutations in the vegetables only altered their aroma significantly, he might have accepted the offer by now.
But that wasn’t the case.
Jiang Hao’s silence caused Xue Zixi to furrow her brows.
She thought he was being overly greedy.
Just then, Jiang Hao glanced at the time and flashed a confident smile at Xue Zixi.
“Miss Xue, do you feel a sticky discomfort all over your body?”
Her shock was evident upon hearing his question.
With Jiang Hao’s prompt, she did indeed feel a general discomfort and even detected a hint of body odor.
“Miss Xue, perhaps you should take a shower. We can continue our discussion afterward.”
For a moment, Xue Zixi wondered if Jiang Hao had drugged her!
But seeing his composed demeanor, she quickly dismissed the thought.
“Excuse me, Mr. Jiang, I’ll be back shortly,” she said, conveying her apologies.
Jiang Hao offered no further comment.
……
Time flew, and an hour later, Xue Zixi finally arrived, somewhat belatedly.
Rushing in, she looked at Jiang Hao, her face etched with astonishment.
“Mr. Jiang, what exactly is happening here?”
Upon hearing her, Jiang Hao offered a slight smile, indicating that Xue Zixi had indeed made the discovery on her own!
With a calm and inviting gesture, Jiang Hao motioned for her to take a seat. Xue Zixi gracefully accepted and sat down, prompting Jiang Hao to begin speaking.
“It appears that Miss Xue has already noticed,” he said.
“Indeed, each variety of my mutated vegetables is not only ten times more flavorful than the average vegetable but also possesses a unique and powerful characteristic!
“The mutated cabbage, for instance, boasts an incredible beautifying effect, which I believe you’ve already experienced, Miss Xue. There’s no need for further explanation on my part.”
Xue Zixi’s eyes widened in astonishment as Jiang Hao spoke.
She had her suspicions during her bath, but hearing the truth from Jiang Hao himself was still an incredible revelation.
Jiang Hao then proceeded to give a detailed introduction of the other four types of mutated vegetables.
Listening to Jiang Hao’s descriptions, Xue Zixi felt as though she was hearing a tale of fantasy.
Yet her own recent experience was undeniably real.
After a prolonged silence, Xue Zixi offered an apology to Jiang Hao.
“Please forgive me, Mr. Jiang. I was wrong to measure your noble intentions with my own narrow-mindedness.”
“However, I’m curious about how you plan to handle this transaction?”
At that moment, she fully realized that her initial offer had been woefully inadequate.
