Chapter 26: Deep Regret

Li Yanhong had never lost in business, especially during negotiations. Whether the other party was experienced or a shrewd and cunning merchant, she always came out on top.

However, Zhang Xiaofan's thoughts were not something that an ordinary woman like her could easily figure out. If she could, then Zhang Xiaofan's years of cultivation would have been in vain.

"This price won't work. My goods are in the category of treasures of heaven and earth. Ordinary people simply can't find such precious items. I won't sell them if I don't get the price I want. If worst comes to worst, I'll take them back and set them free.

There are countless ways to make money, and I, Zhang Xiaofan, have plenty of methods."

Zhang Xiaofan shook his head. If no one was really willing to offer such a high price, then he would take the goods back to the village and release them directly into Jiulong Tan.

After saying that, he stood up directly: "Sister Wan'er, let's go!"

Zhang Xiaofan's stubborn character surprised Shu Wan'er. He had carried the goods out of the village with great difficulty, but now he was going to carry them back and release them instead of selling them. She couldn't quite understand it, but she still stood up and followed Zhang Xiaofan.

"Hehe, Wan'er, it's not that I'm not giving you face. You've seen that I've already increased the price. I've already given you enough face."

Li Yanhong looked indifferent and still had a smile on her face. After all, she was a businesswoman and wouldn't show mercy in business.

At this moment, Shu Wan'er also turned around: "Hmph! Li Yanhong, you know that as long as I open my mouth, there's nothing I can't sell. I just didn't want to hurt his pride. There are still a lot of these things in their village. If you don't want them, there will be plenty of people who do."

After saying that, Shu Wan'er and Zhang Xiaofan carried the two bags and directly walked out of the room.

"President, are you really not going to accept them? According to the price that man said, if we make dishes out of them and sell them, we can easily sell them for tens of thousands of yuan. And there are a lot of those things in their village, which means the supply is sufficient. We can make even more money in the future."

After the two of them left, the head chef, Sister Lan, said with a hint of regret. She couldn't understand why her female president was turning down the money that was right in front of her.

Li Yanhong bent down to pick up a glass of red wine from the table, took a sip, and then showed a few more charming smiles before opening her mouth to explain:

"Sister Lan, it's not easy for me to run this hotel. After all, I'm a businesswoman, and all transactions should maximize the benefits. That's what makes a qualified businesswoman.

That's just an ordinary rural guy. I've already seen that he's really short of money, but he's throwing a tantrum at me. Hehe...

If I'm not mistaken, those small restaurant owners definitely won't offer such a high price. He will eventually come to beg me. Then I'll do him a favor and make him feel like he owes me.

Sister Lan, do you believe that he's just playing a psychological game with me? He'll come back in a few minutes. I've seen too many such psychological games in the business world. He's just an ordinary rural guy. He's still too young to play against me.

But that little brother is really handsome and has a bit of a personality. I quite like him."

Li Yanhong analyzed everything in detail, almost without missing a single point. She felt that she had a very clear understanding of people's psychology.

"I know nothing about the business world. Apart from cooking, all I can do is cook. The taste of that stone frog and the land turtle just now was really worlds apart from the ordinary ones. I believe rich people will like them. If we make them into a special dish, it will attract a lot of customers. With this dish, our Mingzhu Hotel will reach a higher level and its position will be more stable."

Sister Lan nodded beside her and talked about the importance of this dish.

After walking out of the corridor, Shu Wan'er put on sunglasses and a mask, completely hiding her appearance. She was afraid of being recognized by others and causing unnecessary trouble. They walked out of the hotel without any hesitation. They didn't stop for a moment and actually walked a bit faster. They were silent and didn't speak, seemingly in a bad mood.

"Xiaofan, you're not angry with me, are you? I brought you here but we didn't sell the things, and we wasted so much time instead."

Shu Wan'er followed behind Zhang Xiaofan. Seeing that Zhang Xiaofan was silent, she asked worriedly.

"Sister Village Chief, I'm not angry. It's just that we couldn't reach an agreement on the price. That's a normal thing. Are you coming back to the village with me now, or what?..."

After walking out of the hotel, looking at this extremely beautiful woman, Zhang Xiaofan hesitated. He hoped that this beauty would follow him back, but he was also afraid that she wouldn't want to.

"Of course I'm going back with you. I said I wouldn't abandon the villagers.

Don't think that I'm completely at odds with that woman. In fact, there's still some friendship between us, but we just don't say it. That's why I considered her first for your things. But she didn't appreciate it. Since that's the case, don't blame me for being heartless.

In fact, competition is very fierce in every industry. Although her hotel is claimed to be the top seven-star hotel, not to mention the four-star hotels in our Zhuque City, there are still many five-star and six-star hotels, and they are not worse than the Mingzhu Hotel.

I'll take you to find her sworn enemies. Those six-star hotels will definitely be willing to offer a high price for these things.

I can guarantee that as long as you have a sufficient supply, with these two dishes, the six-star hotels that have them will definitely be able to attract more customers, rise up, surpass the Mingzhu Hotel, and even suppress it."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan was shocked. If what she said was true, then the value of his wild goods was even higher.

Presumably, Li Yanhong also knew this very well. Then why didn't she accept his wild goods? Did she want to court her own downfall?

"All right, I'll listen to you, Sister Village Chief. As long as the price is right, I can sell to anyone. After all, we're doing business. Why should we show mercy?"

Just then, Sister Village Chief stopped a taxi, but she was in a bit of a dilemma:

"Xiaofan, my family won't give me money. I don't even have the money for the taxi fare. Do you have any?"

Zhang Xiaofan grinned and immediately took out a large amount of cash: "Hehe! I sold the wild wolf meat and got more than 13,000 yuan! Sister Village Chief, as long as you follow me, I won't let you go hungry."

"Xiaofan, I really didn't misjudge you. You're truly capable."

The two of them got into a taxi. Shu Wan'er told the name of a six-star hotel, and then the taxi drove off slowly.

In the Mingzhu Grand Hotel, Li Yanhong's phone rang, and an anxious voice came from the other end:

"President, that rustic fellow didn't look back at all. He walked out of the hotel without the slightest hesitation and got into a taxi instead. Judging by the direction he's going, he should be heading towards the International Hotel..."

Upon hearing this, the charming smile that had been on Li Yanhong's face while she was sitting on the sofa vanished instantly, and her face turned rather pale.

"This is bad! Hurry up and follow them. Stop those two people. Don't let them enter the International Hotel. If you can't stop them, pack your things and leave. Don't come back here ever again."

Li Yanhong said in a fluster. She immediately rushed into her boudoir, casually threw on a piece of clothing, grabbed a set of keys, and then dashed out in a hurry.

"President, even if we don't want those goods, it's normal for them to sell to others. Why are you in such a panic? What's happened?"

The head chef, Sister Lan, followed behind, looking puzzled.

"Sister Lan, something really serious has occurred! There's no time to explain now. I'll tell you when I get back."

Even when walking along the corridor, Li Yanhong was almost running, which showed just how anxious she was inside.

The reason she was acting like this was that she had actually developed a bit of affection for Zhang Xiaofan, so she cared about him somewhat. However, she found that Zhang Xiaofan was rather mysterious and beyond her understanding, which made her, as a smart woman, feel that her intelligence was being challenged and she wasn't used to it.

She thought that Zhang Xiaofan was just an ordinary rural guy and that she could see through him. She believed that this man would sooner or later be won over by her and be within her grasp. That's why she tested him, hoping to confirm that her judgment was right.

But she never expected that not everyone values money that much, and she also didn't anticipate that Zhang Xiaofan, who was in need of money, wouldn't turn back at all.

Only now did she realize that she truly couldn't figure out this man.

It was just a test, yet it could plunge her hotel into an irrecoverable situation. She was aware of the danger involved, so she had to catch up with those two people quickly and preferably intercept them on the way.

Once those two people entered the International Hotel, it would be too late for everything.
