Knock, knock, knock—
"Coming, coming. Who could it be so early in the morning?"
Li Datao, the owner of Li's Horticulture Workshop, opened the door and saw a dozen black Land Rovers parked outside. A group of burly men in black were staring at him menacingly.
The young master at the front was dressed in a black silk shirt. The silver - white watch face emitted a cold light, making him look even more noble.
He knew he couldn't afford to offend these people who had come today.
Feng Lin slowly paced into his flower nursery. "Are you Boss Li of this horticulture workshop?"
Li Datao forced a smile on his face. "Yes, it's me. May I ask... what can I do for you?"
"I heard that Boss Li has a wide variety of flowers here. You must be very familiar with all the precious varieties. Well, I'm here to sell flower seedlings today."
"Sell? But I've always only sold flowers and never bought them back."
Hearing this, Feng Lin slightly raised his eyebrows. "With such a big horticulture workshop, your business is so monotonous? Then I don't think there's any need for this place to..."
Li Datao was shocked. "I'll buy, boss. I'll buy. It's just that I've bought very few in the past and I'm not very skilled."
"Good. I have a batch of flowers here. Name your price." After saying that, Feng Lin waved his hand, and Chen Shui behind him presented a pot of flower seedlings with orange petals and yellow stamens.
"These succulents usually cost a few yuan per plant at the lowest. I'll buy them for ten yuan each. For the other flowers on the car, I'll calculate them according to the market price. What do you think?"
"Heh." Feng Lin sneered. "Boss Li, take a good look again."
"This variety is not an ordinary succulent. My friend bought it from the owner of a horticulture workshop. It costs hundreds of yuan per plant."
"I heard it's called 'Snow Lotus'. Such a rare variety. Boss Li, being so well - informed, should recognize its value."
"This..." Li Datao's forehead was instantly covered in cold sweat.
He finally understood why these troublemakers had come today.
But hadn't he sold this batch of dyed goods to a newly - opened store by a little girl?
"Yes, yes. I misjudged for a moment. The market price of this variety should be three hundred yuan per plant. I'll buy them back from you for five hundred yuan each."
"Hey, no need. Boss Li can just buy them back at the market price. We have to follow the rules, right?"
Li Datao had no choice but to nod with a bitter smile. If he had known he'd run into such a powerful opponent, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to sell that batch of goods.
"Chen Shui, tell the bodyguards to unload all the goods from the car and let Boss Li take a good look. Don't misidentify the varieties."
"Yes, young master."
Boss Li picked up a pen and carefully recorded these "precious varieties", sweating profusely as he calculated the price.
He walked up to Feng Lin with the bill in his hand.
"Take a look, 100 Snow Lotus plants at 300 yuan each, 50 Emerald - covered Lotus plants at 200 yuan each, Blue Enchantress... A total of 800 plants for 150,000 yuan."
Feng Lin glanced at the paper. "Boss Li, the prices seem right, but the quantity seems wrong."
"That's impossible. I counted them carefully just now."
"One, two, three..." Feng Lin raised his hand and casually counted a box of flower seedlings.
"Look, there are already more than a dozen in just this small amount. How could there be only 800 plants in total?"
Li Datao knew that the amount of compensation he offered hadn't reached this master's expectations.
Looking at his small yard surrounded tightly, he had no choice but to admit defeat.
"Then how many should there be in total...?"
"My butler counted before we came. There should clearly be 2,000 flower seedlings."
"Haha, yes. I counted wrong in a hurry just now. There should be 2,000 plants. A total of 400,000 yuan."
Li Datao's heart ached. He gritted his teeth and transferred all his profits for the whole year.
Chen Shui nodded slightly, indicating that the transfer had been received.
Only then did Feng Lin stand up. "Boss Li is really a straightforward person. But you should pay attention to your eyesight in the future. Don't always misidentify flower seedlings."
"You're right. It won't happen again next time..."
Ring, ring, ring—
Is it Xiaoyu?
Feng Lin answered the phone and walked out of the flower nursery.
"A Lin, where did the batch of flower seedlings in my store go?"
"A friend of mine took a fancy to these varieties and bought them all. I'll transfer the money to you later."
"That's great! But quite a few of them had withered before. Can they still be saved?"
"Don't worry. He's quite professional. There won't be any problem."
"That's good."
After hanging up the phone, Su Xianyu quickly received a transfer of 400,000 yuan from Feng Lin.
"Xiaoshuang, record this."
"Coming, boss." Huang Xiaoshuang put down the flower pot she was wiping and came to the cashier.
"The batch of flower seedlings we bought the day before yesterday has been sold. A total of 400,000 yuan."
Huang Xiaoshuang was recording the account and her eyes widened in surprise. "We bought that batch of flower seedlings for 120,000 yuan. We've made 280,000 yuan in just two days. Boss, you're so amazing!"
"It's just luck. After all, we won't always encounter such 'precious' varieties and such discerning people."
"You're right. But still, I think you're amazing for selling them for so much money!"
"You naughty girl!" Su Xianyu was amused by her words and reached out to hand her a red envelope.
"We've exceeded today's sales target. This is a reward for you. Come with me out later."
"Wow, thank you, boss!"
After tidying up the store, Su Xianyu hung up the "Closed" sign and the two of them went out.
When they got out of the car, Huang Xiaoshuang looked at the sign of "Li's Horticulture Workshop" in front of her and exclaimed in surprise.
"Boss, why are we coming here again?" She realized something later. "The batch of flowers from their store withered for no reason last time..."
"It's okay, Xiaoshuang." Looking at the familiar flower pots at the door, Su Xianyu's face was firm.
"The last batch of flowers was an accident. It won't happen again this time."
Although Huang Xiaoshuang didn't understand why the boss was so confident, she still obediently nodded and followed her into the yard.
When Li Datao saw them coming, he felt as if the world was spinning.
Why is this little miss here again? Does she mean she's not satisfied with the compensation?
"Boss Li, I sold those varieties very well last time. So, I'm here to buy more flower seedlings."
Hearing this, he inexplicably let out a sigh of relief. He dejectedly and helplessly took out his newly - cultivated varieties.
"These are all the new varieties recently. Take a look and see which ones you want..."
After two hours, Su Xianyu finally got this batch of newly - cultivated flower seedlings at a slightly lower market price.
"Boss Li, the batch that will be delivered to the store tomorrow will be the ones I personally selected, right?"
"If I'm not there at that time and Xiaoshuang is still young, if the flower seedlings are wrong, I'll have to trouble you to take them back."
Li Datao's mouth drooped, and his eyes were listless. "Don't worry, girl. It will definitely be this batch. I'll deliver them to you personally tomorrow."
"That's good. Thank you, Boss Li."
"Hehe, it's my pleasure." Please go quickly, little ancestor. I'll never fake the goods again.
After placing the order, Su Xianyu returned home in a great mood.
Not long after, while she was showing off her cooking skills in the kitchen, she heard the sound of the door opening.
"A Lin, help me carry this dish out."
"Okay."
Feng Lin picked up the dish and took two steps, but suddenly his arm twitched painfully. The plate fell to the ground with a thud.
"A Lin!"
