Chapter 73: Ye Chenjing willing to help sell medicinal materials

Lin Meng hummed a little tune, driving her brand-new G on the road for a spin.

She finally chose the top-spec model with license, total on-road price 3.5 million.

To the former Lin Meng, this was completely an astronomical figure, not even something she dared to dream of.

Although spending this money still makes her heart pound instantly, seeing the card balance still over eight million, Lin Meng feels a car around three million is not too painful even if she grits her teeth.

Lin Haocheng estimates that even if beaten to death he wouldn't have thought that the cousin he looked down on was the person who just bought the G.

Lin Meng happily drove her new car to the address Ye Chenjing provided for the appointment.

After selling this batch of herbs, she plans to ask Ye Heng about the storage conditions at the Bi Hu Suo.

If possible, it's also time to provide him with more high-quality resources.

Her current life can, in the blink of an eye, afford to pay cash for a luxury car; ultimately, half the credit goes to Ye Heng.

There are still two spaces; it's also time to strive to upgrade them, can't always stay stagnant.

Upon arriving at the address Ye Chenjing provided, Lin Meng had just stepped out of the car when she saw Ye Chenyu's sneaky figure, looking around.

Upon seeing Lin Meng, his eyes lit up and he hurried over at a trot.

"Lin Meng, you've finally come; my older brother has been waiting for you half an hour."

Lin Meng eyed Ye Chenyu suspiciously; she recalled they weren't that familiar, right?

"Why are you here?"

Ye Chenyu didn't notice at all that Lin Meng disliked him, and still gave a foolish grin.

"My brother told me to wait for you at the door; this private kitchen only accepts high-end VIP reservations, no one can get you in without an escort."

"By the way, you bought a new car? This car is cool; I originally wanted to buy one too, but my brother wouldn't let me."

"My brother said that after you arrive, follow me; today he's treating, and grandfather has let us two brothers invite you to a meal."

Lin Meng listened, and her brows knit together.

This guy, the few times they'd met, they hadn't gotten along; especially his foul mouth, like rinsing with toilet water, his speech was very harsh.

How come today he's like a different person? That previous spiteful temper is gone, replaced by some fawning; it looks kinda scary.

"You... took the wrong medicine?"

Lin Meng felt she should keep some distance from Ye Chenyu, yet Ye Chenyu scratched the back of his head, wearing a simple-minded expression as he said:

"Um, I was wrong before, always doubting you; I know my few impressions of you weren't good either, but I've realized my mistake and will not be rude to you from now on."

Lin Meng blinked, quite surprised by Ye Chenyu's attitude; perhaps grandfather Ye had said something to him in private, changing his nature.

However, his use of the word "also" was subtle; he actually knew her impression of him wasn't good either, showing he still has some self-awareness.

Seeing his sincere attitude, Lin Meng naturally wouldn't hold a grudge.

"Alright, actually between us there's no grudge; that arranged marriage, frankly I don't like it either—only those old fogies could think of it; your initial resistance to me is understandable."

Nowadays, men and women don't even necessarily believe in love; how could they be willing to be bound for life by a so-called arranged marriage?

Ye Chenyu's heart gave a jolt upon hearing that.

Oh no, Lin Meng doesn't like this arranged marriage; could it be understood that she actually doesn't want to marry into the Ye family?

Grandfather even said they should find a way to let Lin Meng marry into the Ye family; grandfather, you're really overconfident.

Remember when Lin Meng first came to the door, grandfather said they didn't take a liking to him, which left him feeling depressed for a while.

But actually, they didn't take a liking to the Ye family, right?

Now even the older brother's attitude toward this matter is neither refusing nor expressing a stance.

To the older brother, not refusing means accepting.

If the older brother knew Lin Meng looked down on the Ye family and on him, wouldn't he also feel depressed?

Ye Chenyu's mental activity was extremely active; he led them astray several times.

Finally, before Lin Meng's patience was about to run out, he brought them to the correct private room.

In the antique-style luxurious private room, Ye Chenjing resembled an exiled immortal statue, seated at the head motionless, only lifting his eyelids to glance when Lin Meng entered.

His gaze fell on the canvas bag Lin Meng carried; the bag looked bulging, presumably holding the medicinal materials.

Ye Chenyu, grinning as he just sat down, hadn't even had time to pour tea when an unquestionable voice came from nearby.

"You have nothing to do here; go back and look after grandfather."

Ye Chenyu: "..."

He always regards his older brother Ye Chenjing's words as ironclad orders, more effective than grandfather's.

The next second, Ye Chenyu obediently stood up, unwillingly walked out, making even Lin Meng unable to resist feeling sympathy for him.

Only the two of them remained in the private room; Ye Chenjing didn't order food first, but set down his tablet and looked at Lin Meng.

Lin Meng immediately pushed the canvas bag toward him, getting straight to the point:

"Thank you, Mr. Ye, for your willingness to help; then I'll get straight to the point—these medicinal materials, take a look, how much are they worth?"

Lin Meng knows they can make billions in minutes; surely they have no time to idle chat with her here.

"Rest assured, Mr. Ye, we still have some self-awareness; we will definitely not take up too much of your time."

Lin Meng added another sentence, and, as an afterthought, carefully took the medicinal materials out of the bag and placed them on the table.

Ye Chenjing had only glanced casually at first, but soon his pupils contracted imperceptibly.

This wild ginseng is as thick as an adult's arm, and its appearance and condition are excellent; even the rootlets are intact.

Just from appearance, it's definitely over a hundred years old, reaching the grade of ginseng king.

Not only wild ginseng, but also wild premium snow lotus and iron-skinned dendrobium.

At first glance, this small bundle of medicinal materials is all top-notch among the top-notch.

Ye Chenjing couldn't help but look at Lin Meng; his deep eyes and her gaze locked tightly, as if trying to see through her.

Lin Meng felt nervous inside, but showed nothing on her face, calmly accepting his scrutiny.

She knew these medicinal materials were heavyweight; taking out so many casually would surely draw suspicion.

But she couldn't worry about that now; she couldn't let these medicinal materials go to waste in her hands.

"How about it? Can you help me handle this? You set the conditions."

Ye Chenjing's distinct-knuckled fingers lightly tapped the tabletop before he finally spoke.

"I'll help you; wait for my word."

Lin Meng liked people of few words who just got things done; she didn't want to impose on Ye Chenjing for free, so after thinking she said:

"Since you won't state conditions, I'll set them: once the task is done, I'll give you a free stalk of wild ginseng as repayment, to be considered an offering for your grandfather."

Ye Chenjing glanced at Lin Meng, wondering whether she knew the value of wild ginseng of this quality.

This offer even moved him.

It had nothing to do with money; rather, wild ginseng of this caliber is nearly impossible to buy even with money, and the old man would certainly be delighted to see it.

Seeing the matter settled, Lin Meng's mood brightened considerably; she rose to leave.

"Take this cloth bag for now; I'll send the rest later."

"More? How much?"

Before leaving, Lin Meng gestured a five to Ye Chenjing, leading him to think there were five bags of such medicinal materials, when her voice drifted in from outside.

"There are still five large baskets, Mr. Ye—I'm leaving it all to you!"
