Travel to ancient times and become rich women with your bestie

Chapter 270: Pretending to be Dead

As soon as you enter the gate, you will see a large screen wall with intricate patterns carved on it.

The two of them just took a quick glance and vaguely saw that it was probably a landscape painting.

Passing the screen wall is a winding corridor with lush flowers and plants on both sides, and houses with carved beams and painted rafters hidden among them, which is quite artistic.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin didn't look at him for too long and just withdrew their gazes, only sighing in their hearts: It's great to be rich.

After about a cup of tea, Manager Li led them to the main hall.

A slightly plump man was sitting in the main seat, drinking tea. I guess this was Mr. Liu.

"Master, Manager Fang and his companions have arrived." Manager Li respectfully reported to Mr. Liu.

Only then did Mr. Liu put down his teacup and stood up, as if he had just seen them.

"Oh, Brother Fang, I've been so busy with family matters that I couldn't come to greet you in person. Please don't mind."

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin wanted to laugh.

Mr. Liu, why don’t you wipe the eye boogers from the corners of your eyes first, then perhaps this statement will be more convincing.

Manager Fang obviously also noticed the little treasure in Mr. Liu's eyes, but he had seen everything over the years and endured it.

"That's not the case, Mr. Liu. You have a big family and a lot of wealth, so naturally you should focus on your family's affairs first."

Mr. Liu was obviously pleased by what the steward said about his wealthy family, and he turned his gaze happily to Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin.

"Who are these two?"

"This is Manager Zheng, and this is Manager Duan. They both came from Yongding. This time they came to discuss matters concerning the Rose Valley with you, Mr. Liu." Manager Fang pointed out the identities of the two people.

"So you are the steward from Yongding. Excuse me, please take a seat. Old Li, go serve tea to the three stewards. I want the best Yunwu tea!"

This is to show his strong strength.

The butler took the order and went down, and Zheng Yuan and the other two also sat down.

"Manager Zheng and Manager Duan are actually two women. Liu has traveled all over the country for the spice business over the years, but I haven't seen many female managers who can really do big things. Most of them are doing small businesses on the streets. These two managers are quite capable."

What Mr. Liu said was very unpleasant.

Although it seems that he is praising them on the surface, but if you listen carefully, you can see that he is actually belittling the women. His words and deeds are more about showing off that he has been to many places.

The phrase "good ability" made the two of them feel as if they were being implied for some unknown reason.

However, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin still answered his questions with a smile, pretending not to understand what he meant.

"Mr. Liu, you are too kind. We are just looking for a way to make a living."

"The two stewards are too modest."

Although he said this, there was an unconcealable sense of superiority in Mr. Liu's tone.

Manager Fang carefully glanced at Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin again, fearing that this short-sighted Mr. Liu might offend these two great men, and something might go wrong with the business.

But Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin didn't react at all. They took a sip of the tea brought by the housekeeper, still looking smiling.

I already knew what kind of person Mr. Liu was from the conversation with Manager Fang just now, and I had already prepared myself mentally. How could I be so easily broken down by a few harmless words from him?

The two of them can still maintain the most basic decency as adults.

Mr. Liu is a typical example of nouveau riche mentality and male chauvinism. The two have seen a lot of this kind of stuff on the Internet in the past and always treated it as a joke.

"Mr. Liu, the two stewards are here to know if you are interested in selling the roses in your Rose Valley?"

Manager Fang hurriedly brought the conversation back to the point, fearing that Mr. Liu would say something inappropriate again.

"Brother Fang, I planted the roses in the Rose Valley specifically for my Aunt Mei. You know how much we value that place."

"It's just that in recent years, it has taken a lot of manpower and financial resources to manage this Rose Valley. My wife is in charge of the household expenses. Seeing the expenses, she is really unhappy and has been looking for me to make trouble recently."

"Madam followed me when I was still young, and she has been devoted to me all these years. Although she now lives a high-class life thanks to me, I cannot but give her this honor."

"So for the sake of peace at home, I am willing to sell the roses in this Rose Valley this year."

Damn pretending to be a man!

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin had smiles on their faces, but they had already cursed Mr. Liu eight hundred times in their hearts.

This means that he wants benefits but does not want to be branded as heartless, and he also wants to show his love for his original wife.

It's really a typical case of wanting more.

"Mr. Liu is truly a role model for us," Manager Fang complimented at the right moment.

After getting the answer he wanted, Mr. Liu smiled even more deeply and turned to Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin.

Is this to get them to praise you too?

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin used the excuse of drinking tea with their heads down to wink at each other frantically.

Come on!

Come on!

......

"Haha~" Zheng Yuan laughed dryly, "Mr. Liu is really good at managing the family, no wonder he can make the family business so big."

In the end, Zheng Yuan had to shoulder all the responsibility and racked his brains against his will to come up with such a compliment.

"Since Mr. Liu is interested in selling the roses in the Rose Valley, I wonder what price he plans to sell them for?"

Afraid that this ordinary man would say something that they couldn't respond to, Zheng Yuan immediately turned the topic back to serious matters.

"How much can the two managers take away?" Speaking of business, Mr. Liu also took it seriously.

"The whole Rose Valley."

Mr. Liu's eyes flickered, but there was no extra expression on his face. He picked up the tea and took another sip.

"The entire Rose Valley? That's a lot. People say my place is a thousand acres of rose valley. Although that's a bit exaggerated, the actual area is about 700 acres."

"But if you pick them, you will definitely only pick this batch. You can't wait for the remaining buds, right?"

"Exactly. We will only stay here for about ten days."

"Well, the yield per acre may be around 300 kilograms. If you stay longer, the yield may be higher." Manager Liu thought for a while and gave this answer.

There are more than 700 acres, and the yield per acre is 300 kilograms, which means more than 200,000 kilograms of rose petals.

Although not as much as previously expected, it should be enough to last through this season, and other fragrances can be developed next season.

"Two managers, can you eat all this?" Manager Liu asked, seeing that the two were also thinking about it.

"Sure, we'll take them all." The two replied simply.

Manager Liu nodded in some surprise, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or feeling some other emotion.

In his heart, he hoped that all the roses could be sold, but he also felt that Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin were just small fry and didn't have the ability to consume so much. He wanted to see them get slapped in the face when they heard about this amount of money.

The two of them simply agreed, which made him a little at a loss for what to say.

"Mr. Liu, what's the price?"

"What kind of price can the two managers offer?" asked Mr. Liu.

"We are new here and don't know much about the market in Zhaoming. Please make an offer first, Mr. Liu."

What a joke! Everyone knows that whoever reveals his cards first in a negotiation loses, and yet this old fox still wants to test their bottom line.

Seeing that they didn't answer, Mr. Liu looked at them with some surprise, and then looked at Manager Fang.

Why is the situation different from what he expected?

Manager Fang didn't even raise his head and continued drinking tea, as if he didn't hear what they were saying.

This tea is really tea~
