Chapter 393 Another Sales Pitch

Translator: Lonelytree

“500,000?!” When Peng Yufei’s brother-in-law, Feng Longhai, and the others came back to their senses, their faces were full of disbelief. “You said that you bought these peanuts for 500,000?”
ot only Feng Longhai, his two brothers-in-law, but also the other party guests felt it was unbelievable.
eng Yufei nodded and said, “Yes, it’s 500,000 RMB!”
“What lies!” Feng Longhai said disdainfully, “Do you think we don’t know how much peanuts cost? We’ve never heard of peanuts costing tens of thousands per catty! Brother-in-law, are you lying to please father?”
Having said this, he added with contempt, “Brother-in-law, you are a big boss with a net worth of billions. Why would you send some peanuts as a birthday gift? Are you looking down on father-in-law?”
eng Yufei was the youngest in the Guan family.
But as a self-made businessman, he was not easily bullied.
To be honest, he wasn’t interested in his father-in-law’s company.
He was already a multi-billion boss, and his father-in-law’s company was only a multi-million company.
He didn’t need his father-in-law’s company. In another ten to twenty years, his own company would become a multi-zillion dollar company.

However, his brothers-in-law were still very wary of him. It was because his wife was his father-in-law’s youngest daughter. She had been the most favored since she was young. After he married his wife, his
father-in-law loved her and doted on him by association.

egarding this point, Peng Yufei was also helpless.
He had stated that he was not interested in his father-in-law’s company, but none of them believed him.
They all believed that he was aiming to earn Father Guan’s pity. Therefore, they were always suspicious of Peng Yufei.
eng Yufei knew this, so he didn’t try to explain himself anymore.
However, his father-in-law loved Peng Yufei and his wife very much. So Peng Yufei did care about his father-in-law. With his wealth, could he not give his father-in-law expensive jewels? Of course, he could!
But he heard his father-in-law mention that he missed the taste of peanuts. However, his teeth weren’t good, so he couldn’t have them anymore. He sounded so regretful.
eng Yufei heard through an accidental that Li Yuanhang was selling peanuts within Imperial Palace. After he had a taste, he knew they were the perfect gift for his father-in-law.
That was why he bought them without hesitation as a gift.
Hearing Feng Longhai’s sarcastic tone, Peng Yufei explained, “Brother-in-law, I only went to buy peanuts because I heard that father-in-law wanted to eat peanuts. As for their worth, I’m sure father has an idea.”
Feng Longhai was unconvinced in his heart.
But judging from Guan Zhendong’s reaction, it was obvious that he liked Peng Yufei’s gift very much. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked the Butler to keep the peanuts.
“These are just normal peanuts. Who would believe that you have bought them for 500,000?” Feng Longhai’s voice was a little sharp. “Unless you can find someone to prove it, you are clearly lying to Dad.”
Feng Longhai wanted Peng Yufei to bring someone to prove the purchasing value of the peanuts. Of course, this person had to be reputable.

eng Yufei said seriously, “Actually, I do have a person in mind. It’s Imperial Palace Group’s Special Assistant Li Yuanhang.”

Feng Longhai was certain that there was no such person, so he said without listening to Peng Yufei’s response properly. “I’m sure no such person exists. No one has heard of this person before. Are you sure you didn’t
just pick a random name?”

When he said these words, his expression was too smug. However, he did not notice that the people around him were a little surprised after hearing Peng Yufei’s words.

Then, the others looked at Feng Longhai strangely. They chuckled among themselves.

ff Special Assistant Li was a random nobody, then who were they? Feng Longhei heard the mocking laughter, and he assumed they were laughing at Peng Yufei, so his expression became even smugger.
He said, “Brother-in-law, did you hear that? Everyone agrees with me.”

This time, the guests’ mockery became even more obvious. Some burst out laughing.

A middle-aged woman, Guan Yingying, who was standing next to Feng Longhai, felt extremely embarrassed when she saw this. She tugged at her husband’s sleeve and said to him in a low voice, “Shut up. The man
brother-in-law mentioned is Li Yuanhang of the Imperial Palace Group. It’s not some nobody.”

Feng Longhai was stunned when he heard his wife’s words.
Li Yuanhang of the Imperial Palace Group?
How was this possible?

Feng Longhai was about to refute her, but someone beside him saw Feng Longhai’s wonderful expression and said with a laugh, “So President Feng has such a high standard. He doesn’t even know who Special Assistant
Li is. Hehe…” The mockery was clear.

They had seen stupid people, but this man was a special case. The guests knew about the infighting within the Peng family, but it was one thing to do that behind closed doors and another to do it in public.
“Hehe, if Special Assistant Li is a random nobody, then we’re just background characters.”

“Haha. I’m afraid I’m worse than that.”

Hearing the jeers of the guests around him, Feng Longhai’s face turned red.

Even Guan Zhendong and the rest of the Guan family felt embarrassed.

‘No wonder Guan Zhendong is biased towards the younger son-in-law. This eldest son-in-law is obviously retarded.’

Just as Guan Zhendong was about to ask his eldest son-in-law to apologize to his youngest son-in-law, Feng Longhai said unwillingly, “Brother-in-law, you said that Li Yuanhang of the Imperial Group would testify for
you, so why don’t you invite him over? Since he’s not here, who can tell if you’re telling the truth or not?”

Peng Yufei, “…”

Everyone, “…”

This Feng Longhai really had a screw loose in his head. There was no doubt about it.
Would Peng Yufei bring up Li Yuanhang’s name if it was not the truth? No!

Many guests present had a relationship with Li Yuanhang. They would find out the truth if Peng Yufei lied. Plus, there was the incident of the peanut oil sale by Li Yuanhang recently. Li Yuanhang’s peanut oil caused a
certain amount of commotion in the industry. They saw the price of the peanut oil rise with their own eyes. However, the big bosses were still fighting over it. They were not only giving Li Yuanhang face but they were
also fighting because the peanut oil was worth it.

But recently, it was said that Li Yuanhang no longer sold oil, and now he was selling peanuts instead.
If Peng Yufei really bought the peanuts from Li Yuanhang, spending 500,000 yuan to buy a few catties of peanuts was normal.
At that moment, a man’s voice was heard. “I heard someone call my name just now. Who is looking for me?” Dressed in a black custom-made high-end suit, Li Yuanhang happened to walk in from the door.

He held a gift in one hand and a plastic bag in another. Some guests wiped their eyes to make sure they didn’t see wrongly. Yes, Li Yuanhang’s other hand was holding a red plastic bag. The plastic bag seemed to
contain… peanuts.

“Special Assistant Li!”

“Special Assistant Li!”

Everyone greeted him.

Li Yuanhang nodded his head in response.

This time, Li Yuanhang represented the company attending this banquet.

Peng Yufei already bought peanuts as a gift. Naturally, Li Yuanhang would not be so stupid as to use peanuts as a gift.

Li Yuanhang brought a painting. He bought it for several million.

As for peanuts, they had other uses.

“Special Assistant Li, welcome, welcome!” Guan Zhendong was exceptionally happy to see Li Yuanhang.

He was the star and an elder. Normally, he wouldn’t come out personally to welcome the guests. However, Li Yuanhang was a unique case.
“Elder Guan, on behalf of our president, I wish you longevity and health!” When Li Yuanhang said this, he handed over the gift he had brought.
Guan Zhendong let the Butler accept the gift and said with a smile, “Alright, thank you, Special Assistant Li, and thank President Gong for me!”
Speaking up to this point, Guan Zhendong deliberately asked again, “Special Assistant Li, may I know where President Gong is now?”

Special Assistant Li smiled and said, “President Gong is on a business trip, and his return date has not been set yet!” It was clear that he was unwilling to reveal more than that.
Guan Zhendong and the guests present tactfully stopped asking about this.

Then, Li Yuanhang asked in confusion, “Before I entered, I heard someone saying my name. I wonder who was calling me?”

Everyone’s eyes were focused on Feng Longhai. The corners of many people’s mouths twitched, and some even revealed a mocking smile.

Li Yuanhang thus knew the person who called him was Feng Longhai.

Feng Longhai’s face turned red, embarrassed.

However, Li Yuanhang looked at him and frowned slightly. Then, he asked politely, “May I know who you are?”

‘Wait, so Li Yuanhang didn’t know Feng Longhai? And the latter called the former a nobody?”

Being openly ridiculed, Feng Longhai’s face turned redder.

At this moment, Guan Zhendong glared at Feng Longhai sharply and said to Li Yuanhang, “Special Assistant Li, this is my eldest son-in-law. He just mentioned you unintentionally just now. It’s nothing.”
Although he did not like this eldest son-in-law, he did not want him to lose face in front of Li Yuanhang. It would mean that the entire Guan Family would lose face too.

However, Guan Zhendong didn’t expect Feng Longhai not to appreciate the out he had been given.

Even if Li Yuanhang had appeared, he still wouldn’t believe Peng Yufei had bought the peanuts from Li Yuanhang.

Feng Longhai said at this time, “Special Assistant Li, my brother-in-law spent 500,000 RMB to buy a few catties of peanuts. I questioned him because I suspected him of cheating father. However, he said you could
testify for him.” He laughed sarcastically and said, “Why would someone of Special Assistant Li’s identity go around selling peanuts, right?”

He didn’t notice the looks the guests gave him.

‘What an idiot! Special Assistant Li came with a bag of peanuts. Is that not clear enough?’

They suddenly felt some sympathy for Elder Guan.

With such a stupid son-in-law, he must be very worried. Feng Hailong must have offended many people already.

Guan Zhendong received the full sympathy of the people present, but he couldn’t care less. He just wanted to slap Feng Hailong in the face. But this was his birthday, and he was family, so he forcefully endured this
anger.

But before he could teach Feng Longhai a lesson, Special Assistant Li curled his lips and said with a hint of evil, “I’m sorry, this son-in-law of Elder Guan. I was indeed selling peanuts, and CEO Peng did use 500,000 to
buy them from me.”

He didn’t even remember the man’s name.

Feng Longhai’s expression instantly stiffened.

The other guests expected this.

“This… how could this be?” Feng Longhai was dumbstruck and looked incredulous.

Li Yuanhang continued, “It’s true.”

Some guests were surprised. Others guessed the truth. The birthday party invited people from many different circles. Even in the upper echelon, there were different levels. Li Yuanhang was at the very top.
Li Yuanhang looked at Guan Zhendong. “Elder Guan, CEO Peng knows that you like eating peanuts, so he asked around and contacted me.

“To tell the truth, I have fewer peanuts than peanut oil. I only have a few hundred catties. They are meant as rewards for my company employees. They are not sold to outsiders. So, in a way, they are priceless.
“CEO Peng begged me for a long time, and he eventually offered me a price. In the end, CEO Peng bought these peanuts from me at a high price of 50,000 RMB per catty to give to Elder Quan.

“The peanuts are company rewards for my employees, but CEO Pang used 500,000 RMB to prepare your birthday present. He is a really good son-in-law.”

Everyone, including CEO Peng, was stunned.

He had never thought that Li Yuanhang would actually put in a good word for him.

He was forced to buy the peanuts at 50,000 RMB per catty, but Li Yuanhang made it sound like he had offered to buy them at that price for his father-in-law. He was very touched.

The others immediately praised Peng Yufei’s filial piety.

On the side, Feng Longhai’s face was livid when he heard this.

However, who cared about him at that moment?

At this moment, Li Yuanhang handed the plastic bag to the Guan family’s Butler and said, “In order to prove that my peanuts are worth paying such a high price, I specially brought some peanuts over so that everyone
can have a taste. This will prevent people from saying that I was using my power to take advantage of CEO Peng.”

Everyone, “…”

Who would dare to say that?.
