Chapter 749: Chapter 91: The Arrogant Girl Who Deserves a Lesson (Part 2)
She had no inclination to waste words with him right now, as the problem with the ginseng meant she couldn’t grow suitable ginseng in the short term.
At the Mei Family’s pharmacy, initially there were over twenty top-grade wild ginsengs from before the New Year, and subsequently, Mei Nian, after a perilous return from Changbai Mountain to Beijing, somehow found a large quantity of high-quality domestic wild ginseng of varying sizes and qualities, which made a sensation in the domestic market.
In just a few months, the ginseng supply market, which had been monopolized by the Xu Family, also started to see a degree of tilt.
Xu Changfu, anxious about the Mei Family’s counterattack, signed several sizeable ginseng contracts at relatively low prices and added investments in American Ginseng tablets in collaboration with Meng Mountain, creating a significant shortfall in ginseng.
"Stop your endless prattle. What’s the use of explanations when there’s an issue? Better to think of a way to remedy it. I, Xu Lan Ya, am not a petty person. My own ginseng field was destroyed, doesn’t mean I can’t stand to see others thrive. Those two acres growing well might just help me remedy this situation." Xu Lan Ya crossed the field ridge and walked to the planting license holding a silver-white card that bore elegantly small characters naming the planted ginseng as "Ziwei Ginseng."
"What a charlatan. Lan Ya, up until now, I’ve never seen the rookie who planted these few acres of Medicine Field. Since ginseng planting began, it must at least be an Intermediate Student, and this Medicine Field has been planted in the past few weeks. Have there been any new faces in Area B recently?" Ye Heng listened to Lan Ya’s words, intending to acquire the matured ginseng from these two acres.
In his view, the variety called "Ziwei Ginseng" planted in the field was also very special, probably with a good efficacy, and being a new variety, it might even dupe some of the domestic clients and Meng Mountain’s researchers.
"I don’t believe someone would plant such valuable medicine and not come to check. I’ll wait here today. The blossoming of the ginseng flowers will also make a tidy sum, and the planter ought to come in these few days," Xu Lan Ya was determined to acquire this batch of new variety ginseng.
She had calculated that approximately more than thirty ginseng plants were planted in the ginseng field. This Ziwei Ginseng being a new variety, the Campus should waive some taxes, so the remaining levy percentage should only be 20%, with the remaining 80%, that is more than twenty plants, if acquired successfully, could alleviate the Xu Family’s ginseng demands for a while.
"What are you doing standing in our Medicine Field?" Xu Lan Ya actually got to meet someone, but the person who came put her in a momentary stupor.
Xiao Xian and Zhang Yiyi walked over.
"Your Medicine Field? Don’t even know your own face length, talking without fearing your tongue will twist, I think you’ve gone crazy picking fruits for others. This is the central zone of the orchard, not allowed for non-intermediate students, get out," Xu Lan Ya upon seeing Xiao Xian, remembered about the ginseng spiritual vein at Changbai Mountain, if it weren’t for this wretched girl’s interference midway, Xu Family could possibly have shared a piece from Wang Fenglei’s hand, there wouldn’t be a need to face such a disappointing ginseng field.
"Hey, Senior Sister Xu, have you changed boyfriends again," Xiao Xian ignored Xu Lan Ya’s words, casually sizing up Ye Heng.
"I remember last time in the north-east, the guy with you was much taller and more handsome." Xiao Xian inwardly scoffed, deciding to give Yezi a break this time.
Yezi, inspecting the new farms of the Huang Family, felt an itch in his ears and muttered, "Could it be someone cursing me?"
Xu Lan Ya’s expression was a spectacle. Ye Heng, after listening, anxiously asked, "Lan Ya, is what she said true? You said you went to the north-east with your family over New Year, who did you go with?"
"Don’t listen to her nonsense, there was no guy, just a cousin of mine," Xu Lan Ya did not want Ye Heng to find out about her and Yezi’s affair so quickly, desperately trying to cover it up.
"Cousin? That doesn’t sound right, I remember you affectionately calling him ’dear,’" Yiyi stood beside Xiao Xian, listening, and couldn’t help shaking at the mention that came out for the first time.
Women are truly frightening, lying as easily as drinking water. Thankfully, Xuerou didn’t know about the two’s design against Xu Lan Ya, otherwise she would have a lot to say.
"Shut up, you wretched lass. I’m asking you, is this ginseng field really yours? Are you already an Intermediate Student?" Xu Lan Ya felt Ye Heng’s gaze turning sour and got anxious. Ye Heng was different from Wang Shuai.
Wang Shuai, although cold to others, was still relatively polite to women and was somewhat a gentleman. The transgressions committed by Xu Lan Ya, even if he learned a bit, as long as it didn’t touch his and the Wang Family’s bottom line, Xu Lan Ya didn’t have to worry too much.
But Ye Heng was different, having been with him for a long time, Xu Lan Ya knew he was narrow-minded and nitpicky. The effort he had invested in Xu Lan Ya was indeed not small, if he found out about Yezi, he might be determined to exact a bitter end, refusing to give up.
"The answer to both questions is ’yes’, Senior Sister, what advice do you have?" Xiao Xian answered with a harmless smile.
"I’m offering a high price to buy these ginseng from you now. As long as you cooperate, I’ll let go of what happened before and today," Xu Lan Ya saw her cooperative attitude and suppressed her prior rage.
"Sorry, my answer this time is: ’No.’ And please move your hoof from my Medicine Field," Xiao Xian replied still smiling sweetly.
