Wow!
Although everyone knew that there were dicinal herbs inside the dicine basket before,
when Hu Xiaobei completely poured them out, everyone was thoroughly shocked!
Soon, regaining their composure, they murmured to themselves...
"My God, there must be at least thirty different kinds here!"
"More than thirty kinds? I feel like there's even more!"
"I think so too!"
While slling the strong fragrance of the herbs, everyone eagerly stared at them, feeling an itch in their hearts...
"This..."
Qian Fei, who was the closest, naturally also slled the strong fragrance of the herbs...
It was precisely because she slled the strong fragrance that her face alternated between pale and flush...
"This is a nightmare! It must be a nightmare! How could this poor guy find so many herbs!"
While hysterically roaring in her heart, Qian Fei subconsciously pinched her own hand!
Soon, she knew this was not a dream, because her hand felt very painful!
Hu Xiaobei paid no attention to the visibly displeased Qian Fei and looked indifferently at the purchasing station manager...
The manager noticed Hu Xiaobei looking at him and quickly concealed his shock...
Then, he seriously squatted down and started to examine carefully, and as he was doing so, more and more spectators gathered!
Everyone was shocked upon seeing the herbs...
At that mont, soone softly exclaid!
"What's wrong?"
Hearing that soone might have a question, many people turned their heads to look!
The person who had exclaid hesitated for a mont upon noticing everyone looking at him, then whispered softly, "Have you noticed? The herbs that this person nad Hu Xiaobei brought are very green! They look almost alive!"
Hearing this, the people quickly turned their heads and soon, they indeed saw that it was true!
"How... how is this possible!"
"Exactly! There's no soil on the roots, yet why are they still so lush!"
"Yes!"
Everyone marveled...
They had all picked dicinal herbs before, so they knew that these herbs were very delicate and would quickly wither once they left the soil...
So by all reasoning, the herbs picked by Hu Xiaobei should have done the sa, but in fact, they were still verdantly green and lush...
As they were so shocked, the manager, who was carefully examining the herbs, was also very puzzled...
Of course, at this mont, he did not show too much shock...
After he finished examining, the manager stood up slowly and said softly, "These herbs are of very good quality and there is also a large quantity! One hundred thousand, what do you think?"
Hearing the manager directly quoting the price, everyone's eyes widened instantly!
Qian Fei's mother, Wang Tiehua, looked as envious as a rabbit...
"One hundred thousand! This..."
Wang Tiehua trembled all over...
At that mont, she felt so regret...
Had she known Hu Xiaobei was so capable, she wouldn't have mocked him before...
Hu Xiaobei did not know about Wang Tiehua's frustration, and even if he did, Hu Xiaobei would not care!
Looking at the manager, Hu Xiaobei said softly, "Good! This price is acceptable!"
Hu Xiaobei knew quite well that these dicinal herbs were worth only seventy thousand, but he was willing to pay more for various reasons. On one hand, the herbs had been blessed with Nine Wood True Qi, enhancing their quality, and on the other hand, he was actively trying to curry favor with Hu Xiaobei...
Seeing Hu Xiaobei agree, he burst into an excited smile!
Soon, he took the initiative again. "Shall we go to the lounge and talk?"
"Sure!"
Smiling in response to the friendly gesture, Hu Xiaobei nodded, and together, they headed to the second floor...
Watching the store manager so humbly accompanying Hu Xiaobei upstairs, Qian Fei's feelings were mixed!
Previously, she had thought Hu Xiaobei was nothing more than trash, so she had kicked him aside, but now, she realized her judgnt might have been wrong!
"Darling, did you hear that? Hu Xiaobei just made one hundred thousand that easily! What do you think? Shall we continue following him? I've always said he's a real standout! It would be such a pity to miss out on this!"
Hearing her mother's eager words, Qian Fei glanced at her. "A real standout? Didn't you say he was dood to be poor forever?"
"I..."
Wang Tiehua was suddenly at a loss for words...
Seeing her speechless, Qian Fei sighed and said, "Alright, let's go!"
"But..."
"Are you coming or not?"
Feeling Qian Fei's irritation, she quickly said, "Okay! I'm coming!"
And so, the mother and daughter left!
Compared to the previous attention they had received, their departure now went unnoticed!
Because now, fewer people were interested in them, as a much brighter new star had risen...
...
"This tea is quite nice!"
In the spacious lounge on the second floor, Hu Xiaobei sipped his tea and spoke softly...
Afterward, Hu Xiaobei glanced at the opposite office, knowing they were probably examining the dicinal herbs he had just sold...
Hu Xiaobei guessed right; store manager Guo Deng and manager Su Wei were intently examining the dicinal herbs they had acquired from Hu Xiaobei!
Guo Deng, after a close inspection, said, "Manager, I've been a store manager for many years, but I've never known the herbs to be preserved so well after being uprooted from the soil! We must find out this thod!"
Hearing Guo Deng's words, Su Wei nodded and responded, "Of course I know that!"
Su Wei knew that if they could learn this thod, preserving dicinal herbs for the company would beco much simpler, bringing the company substantial benefits in the future!
But he also knew Hu Xiaobei was unlikely to share this thod, so he had to figure sothing out on his own!
Thinking this, Su Wei narrowed his eyes, "Earlier, I asked you to investigate Hu Xiaobei's background. Did you send soone?"
"Yes, I..."
Before Guo Deng could finish, his phone rang!
Pulling out his phone, Guo Deng saw it was the person he had sent out calling!
Without hesitation, Guo Deng answered the call...
Soon after hanging up, Guo Deng said, "Manager, regarding Hu Xiaobei, the investigation is clear. He is a bona fide farr from Xiaohe Village!"
Hearing Guo Deng's report, he asked softly, "Just a farr?"
"Yes!"
Receiving a positive answer, Su Wei smiled and said, "That ans he probably just had so dumb luck in obtaining this thod of preserving dicinal herbs!"
"That's likely!"
"Let's figure out if we can acquire it at the lowest cost possible!"
"Alright!"
After agreeing on their plan, the two of them walked towards the lounge with smiles on their faces…
