Chapter 77

Lin Meng drove to the big warehouse, only to see Ye Chenjing already there, he sitting in the Rolls-Royce dedicated seat without getting out.

Lin Meng's heart stirred, she hurriedly got out of the car to open the warehouse door.

After opening the door, she did not go to greet Ye Chenjing, but quickly ran into the warehouse, found a corner, and swiftly took out the five large baskets of medicinal herbs from her second space.

After confirming Ye Chenjing had just gotten out of the car and seen nothing, Lin Meng finally let out a relieved breath.

Ye Chenjing strode in with his long legs, already inside the warehouse.

At this moment, Lin Meng's expression had returned to normal, she turned to look at him.

"Sorry, General Manager, for making you make a special trip."

Lin Meng said that with her mouth, but her face showed no remorse; Sun Yao, following behind Ye Chenjing, couldn't help glancing at his own boss.

General Manager's schedule for today was already full, first being the company's board meeting, even the old chairman Ye would attend, yet he came to see Miss Lin at this critical juncture, showing that this Miss Lin holds an extraordinary position in General Manager's heart.

Assistant Sun had personally witnessed General Manager spending lavishly for Lin Meng.

In his impression, that was the first time General Manager had paid the bill for a woman.

"Sun Yao, wait outside."

Ye Chenjing suddenly spoke, causing Assistant Sun, who had been wanting to gossip about the boss, to instantly droop, resentfully walk out of the warehouse, and thoughtfully leave the door ajar.

Lin Meng tilted her head to look at Sun Yao through the door crack; she remembered him, he had been present at that auction, and was Ye Chenjing's assistant.

She couldn't help teasing.

"As the heir of the nation's richest family, you're different indeed—even assistants are hired by category; speaking of which, what exactly does a life assistant do? Is it the nanny I imagine?"

Ye Chenjing glanced at Lin Meng with a blank face, a hint of smile hidden in his eyes, even he himself didn't notice.

"Seeing the other party feigning deafness, Lin Meng knowingly pursed her lips."

"In this two-person setting, she merely wanted to ease the tense atmosphere with jokes, but Ye Chenjing never smiles lightly, his aura always so overpowering as to be intimidating."

Ye Chenjing had originally just listened to his subordinate report Lin Meng's yesterday's performance, but now he personally came to the warehouse, seeing piles of various supplies, his brow furrowed ever so slightly.

"This woman stockpiles so many daily supplies, the quantity huge, calculated in tons—she's preparing for apocalypse reserves, has she read too many novels?"

Ye Chenjing let out a light sigh, turned his face away not to look, and suddenly said.

"Stockpiling that much rice, flour, grain, and oil, you should consider storage issues, prevent mold, bugs, and spoilage."

Lin Meng blinked, looking astonished at this man in a full high-end suit, untouched by dust, wondering if these words were really from him.

"She had thought he didn't eat mortal food, but didn't expect him to be quite down-to-earth."

Lin Meng replied, "I know, thanks for the reminder."

"General Manager handles myriad affairs, surely you're busy; let's not talk about my daily supplies, let's discuss the medicinal herbs—how financially capable is the buyer you found?"

Ye Chenjing, hearing this, didn't think much; Mr. Zhu, as a leading figure of the Medicinal Materials Association and honorary consultant to several pharmaceutical companies, has influence and financial strength worthy of recognition.

"Let me see your goods."

Lin Meng nodded, pointing toward the corner.

There were piles of rolled paper there, with an open space behind.

"They're all there; I think you'd better call another vehicle, your Rolls-Royce surely can't hold them."

Ye Chenjing didn't respond, strode over with his long legs, already having a plan in mind.

Lin Meng had said before, the medicinal materials are five baskets; he had already prepared an explosion-proof specialized vehicle, ready on call.

Lin Meng followed over, speaking as she walked:

"These medicinal materials of mine are genuine and quality-assured; if your buyer is reliable and has vision, I hope for long-term cooperation, in which case I can make some concessions on price—what do you think?"

Lin Meng voicing her thoughts, she suddenly bumped into a human wall.

"Hiss."

Pain came from her forehead; Lin Meng, annoyed, looked up at Ye Chenjing who had suddenly stopped.

"Why aren't you moving?"

At this moment Ye Chenjing's back was to Lin Meng; his expression of astonishment, shock, and disbelief was not seen by her.

When Lin Meng went around to face Ye Chenjing, he had already resumed his usual expression, but his gaze remained fixed on those five half-person-high baskets.

"Is this the medicinal materials you mentioned?"

Lin Meng nodded, then casually lifted the burlap on one basket, instantly revealing various precious medicinal herbs.

She said, "Yeah, didn't I tell you? Five cases, they're all here."

Ye Chenjing was now somewhat speechless; he suppressed his inner shock, raised a hand to his forehead, and only after a while found his voice.

"Hmm, I've got it figured; I'll help you negotiate well with the other party."

Actually he had no confidence; he had imagined those five baskets as the small hand-held kind.

Who would have thought such precious medicinal materials could appear before him in this way?

If Mr. Zhu himself came to inspect, he'd probably be shocked into being carried away on the spot.

After thinking, Ye Chenjing tentatively asked Lin Meng.

"Do you know how much this wild ginseng is worth?"

Lin Meng nodded, "I've looked it up online; good-quality wild ginseng sells for at least several million, right? What's up? If the other party thinks it's too much to take, I can lower it a bit, but I hope to achieve long-term cooperation."

She had considered that in Ye Fan's place, immortals and mortals coexist; some mundane resources, like mortal-grade elixirs and medicinal herbs, are likewise treasures to the modern world.

If she could continually resell these materials to the modern world, it would also be a boon to one realm.

Ye Chenjing, however, had long been unsettled; his expression finally showed fluctuation.

He opened his mouth, but only sighed.

Forget it, better not tell her the true value of these medicinal materials for now.

With so many precious medicinal materials, Mr. Zhu alone surely can't consume them all; looks like we need to communicate further with him.

This deal requires the entire Medicinal Materials Association to participate.

If he still can't eat it, then he can only discuss it with grandfather, and have their Ye family group purchase it privately.

Ye Chenjing finally drove over two explosion-proof vehicles, and securely transferred the five baskets of medicinal materials.

After seeing off the big spender, Lin Meng immediately locked the warehouse door and began preparing to transfer the supplies.

Ye Heng had already been waiting.

At this moment, inside the tent farthest back against the mountain wall in the shelter, Ye Heng led fifty team members and sturdy men, standing ready.

Everyone's face was extremely tense.

"Team Captain Ye, is the goddess going to bestow us precious supplies again? This tent is so big, and you've summoned so many people—could it be that the goddess is going to give us a lot of supplies this time?"

Ye Heng looked quite excited, and upon hearing this, he nodded.

"Not bad, the goddess said that this time the supplies weigh over a hundred tons!"
