Translator: Lonelytree
After Gong Tianhao hung up the phone, he looked at Xiao Lingyu speechlessly.
Xiao Lingyu was a little baffled by the stare.
She asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”
Gong Tianhao said, “Yuanhang asked if you wanted to sell the remaining peanuts. He’s saying they can go for 200 RMB per catty.”
“Ah?”Xiao Lingyu was a little dumbfounded. “200 for a catty?” It was so high.
However, she immediately came to an understanding. Previously, the peanut oil had been sold for 4,000 RMB per catty. So in comparison, 200 RMB per catty of peanuts was still quite cheap.
“Right.” Gong Tianhao nodded and said, “He has even started to take reservations.”
“Huh?” Xiao Lingyu instantly felt as though she had no control over her peanuts.
“What do you think?” Gong Tianhao asked.
Xiao Lingyu, “…” She hadn’t even harvested the next batch of peanuts, but they had all already been sold.
Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and said, “There aren’t many peanuts left. Taking out the ones meant for gifts, there are probably only about 700 to 800 catties left.”
Xiao Lingyu’s previous plan was to use these peanuts to open up the sales market in City Z. But they arrived in the capital first.
This effect was expected and also unexpected.
Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and said, “Since Special Assistant Li has started to take reservations, we’ll ship the remaining stock to the capital. We’ll use the next harvest to open up the national market.”
Their peanuts were precious and unique. Rich people wouldn’t care about the price. They only cared about quality. They could spend a few million without blinking an eye.
Her peanuts were watered with the spring water. She didn’t use a lot of the water, but the peanuts were good enough to have some medicinal properties. One could feel its effect after consumption. That was one of the
reasons why her peanut oil became so expensive later on.
f the seller of these things were just a normal person, the other business people would want to know the source of the peanuts. However, the seller was Li Yuanhang of the Imperial Palace Group.
Li Yuanhang was the right-hand man of the CEO. Most of the time, he represented Gong Tianhao. He had very high power.
ff someone had their eyes on the source of the peanut oil, it meant that they had to go against Imperial Palace. However, who in the country would be foolish enough to do that? They’d probably end up as fish food.
After Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu discussed it, the helicopter soon transported the remaining 750 catties of peanuts to the capital.
n less than two hours, the peanuts arrived at Li Yuanhang’s office.
Li Yuanhang saw the peanuts placed in the office and asked Li Wendong speechlessly, “Are these the peanuts?”
“Yes!” Li Wendong replied.
“But where are the fried peanuts and boiled peanuts?” Li Yuanhang asked. He had already taken orders for those with 300 RMB per catty and 250 RMB per catty. Now that he didn’t have the stock, what was he going to
say to his clients?
Li Wendong shook his head and said, “No. These are all peanuts. They were directly moved out of the warehouse and shipped to the capital.”
“No?” Li Yuanhang asked in puzzlement, “Then why were there fried and boiled peanuts in the previous batch?”
When Li Wendong heard this, he looked at Li Yuanhang with a strange expression and said, “Special Assistant Li, those are gifts for you from Miss Xiao. They’re not for sale. Those peanuts were cooked by Mother Xiao.”
Li Yuanhang, “…” Those were gifts, so Xiao Lingyu never meant to sell those fried and boiled peanuts.
Xiao Lingyu sent him those things because she treated him as a friend. It was why she hadn’t forgotten his share. Li Yuanhang felt a warm current in his heart and was slightly touched.
He was an orphan. After he went to school, he met Gong Tianhao and became friends with him.
Later, under Gong Tianhao’s financial support, he got to study abroad. When he was in university, he was trained by Old Master Gong to be Gong Tianhao’s right-hand man.
Therefore, Gong Tianhao was his classmate, friend, and relative. But other than Gong Tianhao, he never felt warmth from anyone else. But now, the Xiao Family gave him warmth and love.
Of course, the reason Xiao Family treated him so kindly had to do with his identity as Gong Tianhao’s right-hand man. Every day, he worked diligently to aid Gong Tianhao.
Sometimes, Li Yuanhang wondered if Gong Tianhao was afraid that he might seize the company for himself.
Of course, this was a non-existent problem. Li Yuanhang was not an ungrateful person.
Li Wendong looked at Li Yuanhang, who was in a daze, and was a little speechless.
“Ahem…” Li Wendong coughed twice, and Li Yuanhang immediately woke up.
He looked at Li Wendong suspiciously and asked, “Is there anything else?”
“Ahem…” Li Wendong said, “Special Assistant Li, the boss said that there are only about 700 catties of peanuts left. He asked you to mind the price.”
Li Yuanhang, “…” He knew that. He was a businessman too. He would pay attention to the margin of profit.
The rarer something was, the more valuable it was. If he failed to sell these peanuts at a good price, his surname wasn’t Li. The man was addicted to being a salesman.
Li Yuanhang nodded and said, “I definitely won’t have a problem with that.”
At this moment, Li Wendong looked at him with a strange expression, as if he still had something to say, but he was a little embarrassed to say it.
“…” Li Yuanhang said unhappily, “Just say what you want to say.”
Li Wendong said, “The boss said that in the future, you are not allowed to hang up on him unless he hung up first!”
Li Yuanhang, “…”
He understood why Li Wendong was so hesitant to say that. This was such a strange sentence. This was normally something said between lovers…
Li Wendong was very curious and gossipy. “Special Assistant Li, what does the boss mean?”
At this point, he looked a little puzzled and continued,
“The boss is now glued to Miss Xiao every day. No matter how hard you try, you can’t tear them apart. In that case, why would he have such a request of you?
“Are you and the big boss having a secret affair? But that’s not right. Doesn’t the Big Boss like women? So what’s this?”
Li Yuanhang rolled his eyes and said in an annoyed tone, “Li Wendong, what nonsense are you talking about? Are you suspecting the sexual orientation of your big boss? Do you want me to give the big boss a call right
now and tell him you want to confirm his sexuality?”
Li Wendong’s expression changed when he heard that. He immediately shook his head and said, “No, no, Li Yuanhang, please don’t do that to me!”
“Why not?” Li Yuanhang chuckled. “Aren’t you the one who is suspecting Big Boss’s sexual orientation? Why are you so scared now? You created this misunderstanding, so I wanted to help you solve it.”
Li Wendong, “…” He just asked out of curiosity.
How did things develop to such a serious extent?
He didn’t have the courage to ask Big Boss about his sexual orientation. Wait, that was not right. Big Boss liked women. He had a girlfriend whom he loved deeply, and that was the fact.
Li Wendong was afraid that Li Yuanhang would really complain to Gong Tianhao, so he immediately tried to curry favor with him, “Special Assistant Li, | didn’t know what I was saying. I apologize to you. Please don’t
mention this to the Big Boss.”
When Li Yuanhang heard Li Wendong’s apology, he immediately felt a little smug in his heart. ‘Buddy, it’s still years before you can tussle with me.’ But on the surface, he said, “If you don’t want me to do that, it’ll
depend on your performance in the future.”
Li Wendong, “…” Is he going to use this as something to control me in the future? Most likely…
Asharp light shone from the depths of his eyes.
Li Wendong nodded very obediently and said, “From now on, I’ll listen to your orders. If you want me to go east, I’ll go east. If you say one thing, I’ll definitely not say another. You want me to…”
Li Yuanhang frowned. Then, he yelled, “Stop!”
Li Wendong’s expression was puzzled as he asked again, “Special Assistant Li, | am expressing my loyalty to you. Why did you ask me to stop?”
Li Yuanhang said unhappily, “Are you expressing your loyalty or your love?” Li Yuanhang shivered. If Li Wendong were a girl, he would be touched. But he was a big guy. All those expressions of loyalty gave Li Yuanhang
endless goosebumps.
Li Yuanhang waved his hand and said, “Alright, I don’t need you to make any big declaration. Remember, if you make me unhappy, I’ll definitely tell the big boss about this.”
Li Wendong immediately replied happily, “Okay, no problem.”
Then, Li Yuanhang said, “Brother Li…”
Li Wendong, “…” He has just threatened me, but suddenly we’re brothers? There has to be a trick in this.
“Brother Li, ever since Gong Tianhao got together with Xiao Lingyu, I would be woken up by the phone in the middle of the night. Then, I would be forced to eat dogfood by a certain someone. He would gloat about
what he did with Xiao Lingyu that day and so on…” Li Yuanhang said in distress.
Li Wendong listened in horror.
“I’m a single man, but I’m forced to listen to these stories every night. Do you think I can stand it?
“I’m not Gong Tianhao, who spends his days sleeping, eating, and falling in love. I barely have the time to rest. I can’t sleep at night, and I have to work during the day. If I get stomach cancer one day, it’s all Gong
Tianhao’s fault.” Li Yuanhang complained. “So, don’t you think I have the right to hang up on him?”
Li Wendong nodded pitifully. “Yes, you have.” This was indeed a problem. It was one thing for Gong Tianhao to be happy, but he shouldn’t torture his friend like this.
Li Wendong really felt that Li Yuanhang was a very hardworking special assistant. He had to work hard at work, but he also had to bear the responsibility of being the Big Boss’ listener.
He was really too pitiful.
Li Wendong hesitated whether he should help Li Yuanhang. He looked at Li Yuanhang’s severe eye bags. It was obvious that the man hadn’t had a good sleep in a long already.
“Ahem…” Li Wendong said, “Special Assistant Li, I feel very sorry for you.”
Li Yuanhang said gloomily, “I don’t need you to feel sorry for me. I only need you to help me think of a way so that Tianhao will stop calling me in the middle of the night to chew my ears off.”
“Speaking of which, I do have an idea,” Li Wendong said.
“Huh?” Li Yuanhang immediately asked curiously, “What idea? Tell me!”
“Have you called Big Boss’s girlfriend? If you tell her the truth, Big Boss will definitely not disturb you in the middle of the night again.”
Hearing that, Li Yuanhang immediately patted his head and said, “Oh, right. Why didn’t I think of it before?”
Then, Li Wendong rolled his eyes and said with disdain, “Special Assistant Li, you’re so smart. How can you not think of that?”
Li Yuanhang, “…”
He had been so busy recently that his mind was muddled.
While Gong Tianhao was washing the fruits, Xiao Lingyu received a call.
After hearing the caller’s complaint, she rolled her eyes. However, there was also a smile on her face.
How childish!
Xiao Lingyu looked at a certain person washing the fruits at the sink. He was so excited that he couldn’t fall asleep after she agreed to be his girlfriend. He even had to share this joy with others.
However, the poor Special Assistant Li was forced to listen to these sweet words every night.
‘He worked during the day and was harassed by Gong Tianhao at night. If this continued, he would collapse. I need to help him. The man is too pitiful.’
“What’s wrong, Yu ‘Er? Why are you smiling?”Gong Tianhao came over with a plate of fruits after washing them.
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “I heard that a certain someone often goes to disturb Special Assistant Li in the middle of the night, causing him to lose his precious sleep.”
“…” Gong Tianhao frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows and asked in amusement, “So, Li Yuanhang came to complain to you?”.
