Signing In For Eight Years, I Was Exposed As A Zillionaire! - Chapter 820

820 How Long?
Manager Zhou immediately replied. CEO Li nodded and understood. Then, he turned around and stood outside the acquisition point, looking at the mountain pass.

“How long has Chairman Ye and the others been gone?”

“It’s been about half an hour. They should be back soon.”

Manager Zhou answered truthfully. He looked at the mountain pass and continued.

“CEO Li, why don’t we go into the shed first? The temperature in this medicinal mountain is not comparable to outside. If we’re not careful, we’ll catch a cold.”

“It’s fine. Go in first. I’ll wait for Chairman Ye.”

CEO Li waved his hand indifferently. When he heard this, Manager Zhou had no choice but to speak.

“Alright then. I’ll get back to work.”

With that, he turned around and returned to the shed. As soon as he entered, he shivered. If not for the heater in the shed, he would not have been able to withstand the weather.

Then, he continued to work.

Time always passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed. Manager Zhou had already counted the herbs. When he looked at the time, he was also shocked. He did not expect CEO Li to be so resistant. Had he been standing there for half an hour?

One could imagine how respectful he was to Chairman Ye. He immediately came out of the shed and looked at CEO Li, who was trembling. His clothes were covered in snow, and even his eyebrows were covered in snow. Manager Zhou was also shocked.

He went forward and spoke again.

“CEO Li, why don’t you go into the shed to warm yourself up first? I’m really afraid that you’ll catch a cold in the weather outside. That would be troublesome.”

“Hehe, it’s fine. This bit of cold is nothing. I’ll wait for Chairman Ye.”

CEO Li smiled and took a puff of his cigarette. He exhaled a mouthful of smoke, but it was already impossible to tell if it was smoke or cold air.

Then, he flicked the cigarette butt out. When he looked at it, the snow in front of him was already filled with cigarette butts.

At this moment, a few figures suddenly appeared at the entrance of the mountain. Seeing this, CEO Li trembled and narrowed his eyes. He immediately turned to Manager Zhou and spoke.

“Little Zhou, quick, serve tea!”

After saying that, he walked towards Ye Xuan and the others. When he arrived, he welcomed them with a smile.

“Hello, Chairman Ye. Hello, Miss Ye. I’m the CEO of the Medicinal Herb Chairman Ye. My surname is Li. I heard from Xiao Zhou that Chairman Ye is here. I hurriedly drove here just to see you, Chairman Ye.”

Ye Xuan was chatting and laughing with his sisters when he suddenly saw CEO Li appear in front of him. He was stunned and looked at his appearance. He had some impression of him, so he smiled and shook hands with CEO Li.

“CEO Li, you’re too polite. We’re just here to play. Sorry for disturbing you.”

“Chairman Ye, what are you talking about? Hehe.”

CEO Li smiled and spoke. His gaze wandered over the herbs Ye Xuan and his sisters picked before he continued.

“I didn’t expect Chairman Ye to be a Chinese medicine enthusiast. Coincidentally, I brought some herbs over from my place. Take a look. Don’t hold back. Come, Chairman Ye, Miss Ye, this way please.”

As he spoke, he made a “please” gesture toward the acquisition point. Then, he brought Ye Xuan and his sisters to the acquisition point to take a seat.

Manager Zhou had already made hot tea. When he saw Ye Xuan, he immediately greeted him.

“Hello, Chairman Ye. Hello, Miss Ye. It looks like you’ve harvested a lot.”

“Not bad, not bad. I was lucky enough to pick up a little.”

The sisters replied politely and humbly. Then, they held their teacups and warmed their hands.

In the beginning, when there was no heat in the north, they used stoves that were heated and ventilated with iron pipes. The entire house was very warm, and there was even a brick bed.

The temperature inside the shed was completely different from outside. After sitting for a while, the sisters were so hot that they wanted to take off their clothes.

CEO Li didn’t waste any time. When it was a little warmer, he immediately stood up and spoke.

“Chairman Ye, please wait a moment. I’ll be back soon.”

With that, he got up and walked out of the door. He came to the back of the car, opened the trunk, and took out the herbs inside. He turned around and returned to the acquisition point.

When he heard Manager Zhou say that Chairman Ye and the others were here, he guessed that it must be related to the herbs, so he specially brought them here.

Those who could be CEOs were not only capable, but they also had some skills in many places. Moreover, they were very skilled.

“Chairman Ye, take a look. These are all the herbs I collected from everywhere. They’re usually kept. I can give them to Chairman Ye today.”

As he spoke, CEO Li placed all the herbs on the coffee table and spread them out. He separated them one by one so that people could see them clearly.

Second Sister Ye Ying looked at them carefully. After all, she was a medical doctor and had studied both traditional Chinese and Western medicine. Of course, she mostly studied traditional Chinese medicine.

Therefore, she naturally had some understanding of medicinal herbs.

These medicinal herbs were all old. Among them were decades-old shelf mushrooms, decades-old ginseng, precious knotweed, top-grade caterpillar fungi, top-grade deer antlers, and so on. They were considered expensive.
Ye Xuan also looked at these herbs and narrowed his eyes as he scanned them one by one. He confirmed the exact age in his heart and nodded. His face was as calm as a lake as he thanked the CEO calmly.

“CEO Li is really generous. Thank you so much.”

Seeing this, the corners of CEO Li’s mouth twitched. As expected, Chairman Ye was still broad-minded. So many precious herbs were actually nothing in Chairman Ye’s eyes. Chairman Ye was indeed Chairman Ye.

As he thought about this, CEO Li suddenly remembered that there was still a hundred-year-old ginseng at home. Chairman Ye didn’t even care about these ginsengs that were decades old. How about this hundred-year-old ginseng?

“Chairman Ye, you’re too polite. These are all small things. Coincidentally, I still have a hundred-year-old ginseng at home. I came in a hurry and didn’t bring it with me. Chairman Ye, look, I’ll add your contact information. How about I visit you next time?”

Ye Xuan smiled. This sly old fox had something else. The promise to send a gift was fake. The truth was that he wanted Ye Xuan’s number, right?

However, he didn’t care. When these CEOs took down his phone number, they were just pretending to show off outside. Then, he smiled and spoke.

“CEO Li has spent a lot of money. Take down my number. It’s 1xxxx…”

After remembering the phone number, CEO Li was so happy that his teeth were showing. He picked up the teacup with a smile and took a sip. He let out a long breath.

After standing outside for an hour and freezing for an hour, he had finally earned it back. If he wanted to obtain something, he had to pay a price.

After their bodies warmed up, the sisters began to organize the photos they had taken today. After admiring and reminiscing about them, they organized the photos and posted them on their WeChat Moments. They each posted different photos and captions.

[A fortuitous encounter in a snowy mountain~]

[Another day of being overwhelmed by cuteness.]

[Silly roe deer, you’re so silly~ Take a photo with me~]

…

As soon as they posted it on their WeChat Moments, many friends and best friends saw it. After a while, comments and likes came one after another.

[Have you gone to the snowy mountain to play? I’m so envious of you!]

[It’s a silly roe deer. I’ve never seen it in reality. I’m envious!]
