660: Chapter 658: Wang Family 660: Chapter 658: Wang Family Fortunately, it wasn’t all for naught.
At least he had found a way to enhance the potency of the body-forging pill.
Glancing over the method to increase the pill’s potency, Chen Yang felt an itch to quickly concoct it.
So, he immediately got up to prepare lunch in the kitchen, planning to dine then take a trip to the mountain to gather the necessary herbs, and refine the pill at night.
He casually whipped up a dish, ate it, and without resting, shouldered his basket and set out.
But just as he locked the door, he received a call from Li Han, who said she needed him urgently at Lintianxia and asked him to come over.
Judging by the tone of Li Han’s voice, it seemed quite urgent, so Chen Yang abandoned the idea of going up the mountain for herbs.
“Okay, wait for me.
I’ll be right there,” he said.
After hanging up, Chen Yang opened his car door, tossed the basket onto the back seat, and set off.
About half an hour later, he arrived at Lintianxia and took the elevator up to Li Han’s office.
Chen Yang had thought he would find only Li Han in the office, but upon entering, he discovered several unfamiliar faces.
As Chen Yang walked in, all eyes turned to him.
Chen Yang also gave them a few looks before turning his attention to Li Han.
“Chen Yang, you’re here,” noted Li Han as she saw him and immediately stood up from her seat.
“Yes, what’s the rush in calling me over?
Is there an emergency?” asked Chen Yang with a nod.
“Hehe, have a seat first, we’ll discuss the matter slowly,” Li Han laughed.
Chen Yang nodded and said, “Okay,” then walked over to the sofa area and sat down.
Following that, Li Han led the other strangers in the office to sit near Chen Yang.
“Everyone, this is Chen Yang, the man I’ve told you about.
When it comes to our county’s mountain range, he’s probably the most familiar with it,” Li Han said after sitting down, not speaking directly to Chen Yang, but smilingly introducing him to the unfamiliar faces.
“Hello, hello,” they greeted Chen Yang proactively.
Chen Yang didn’t recognize the three men in front of him, but since they greeted him, he couldn’t just ignore them, right?
So he smiled back and responded twice, then looked questioningly at Li Han.
Li Han, catching Chen Yang’s meaning, quickly introduced the three men.
“Chen Yang, these three individuals are from the Wang Family of the provincial city.
The reason I’ve called you here is that they’d like to ask for your help,” explained Li Han with a smile before further introducing the oldest-looking man among the three.
“This is Wang Hong.”
Upon hearing of the Wang Family, Chen Yang felt a jolt of surprise.
After all, the Wang Family was a significant clan in the provincial city with wealth and power that even eclipsed the Gu Family.
How could he not be surprised that such a prominent family had suddenly come to the county and sought his help?
However, his surprise was only internal; he showed no significant outward reaction.
“Oh, hello, hello,” Chen Yang cordially greeted again, and Wang Hong responded in kind.
Without waiting for Chen Yang to ask further, Wang Hong went straight to the point.
“The thing is, Mr.
Chen, we’ve come here to ask for your help to guide us through the mountain to find something.
Of course, we certainly won’t take up your time without offering something in return.”
“We are willing to pay you a daily reward,” stated Wang Hong with a rather serious expression.
Chen Yang, hearing these words, showed no reaction on his face; money was beside the point, as he was not in need of the petty cash for acting as a guide.
However, Wang Hong’s words had sparked some curiosity in him.
What was he looking for?
Traveling all the way from the provincial capital?
With that thought, Chen Yang subconsciously asked, “What are you looking for in the mountains?”
“Uh…” Hearing this question, Wang Hong looked hesitant, as if he was pondering whether to tell Chen Yang the truth.
After much deliberation, he said, “We’re going into the mountain to look for medicinal herbs.”
“Medicinal herbs?
What kind of medicinal herbs?” Chen Yang continued to inquire.
At this point, Wang Hong’s expression became somewhat awkward, “Mr.
Chen, maybe it’s better you don’t inquire too deeply?
I think it’s good to keep some secrets to oneself.”
Although Wang Hong spoke politely, this still left Chen Yang somewhat dissatisfied.
You want me to guide you, yet you won’t tell me what you’re looking for.
How am I supposed to lead the way?
Chen Yang slightly furrowed his brow.
Wang Hong seemed to have read Chen Yang’s thoughts and added, “Mr.
Chen, once we’re in the mountains, all you need to do is lead us as deep as possible and then ensure you can lead us out again, that’s all.
We’ll handle the rest, and regardless of whether we find it or not, we will pay you as agreed.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang’s brow relaxed.
If he was not responsible for whether they find it or not, that made things easier.
“How much are you paying per day?” Chen Yang suddenly switched topics, asking about the reward.
Seeing that Chen Yang was considering the offer, Wang Hong’s face immediately relaxed, and he stretched out a hand, “We know you’re a businessman, Mr.
Chen, and time is precious, so we can offer you fifty thousand for one day.”
Chen Yang was somewhat surprised by the figure of fifty thousand, but it made sense after some thought.
After all, he was now earning tens of hundreds of thousands a day, and if the offer was too low, he genuinely wouldn’t be interested.
And this Wang Hong, being from the Wang Family, it was normal for him to quote such a figure.
After all, with their family’s wealth, even five hundred thousand a day wouldn’t make them flinch.
However, although satisfied with the price of fifty thousand, Chen Yang still wanted to push for more.
It was a chance to earn easy money, and it would be foolish not to take advantage of it.
“Uh…
there’s no problem with guiding you, I know the mountains better than anyone.
But about your offer, it’s a bit…” Chen Yang said with a grin plastered across his face.
Wang Hong was a straightforward person and immediately understood what Chen Yang meant.
“Hehe, the price is negotiable.
If fifty thousand doesn’t satisfy you, then let’s say one hundred thousand.
How does that sound, Mr.
Chen?” Wang Hong said with a smile.
Such is the way of large families!
Generous!
He doubled the offer with no hesitation.
“Good, that price is acceptable,” Chen Yang said, not wanting to push too far after the other party doubled the offer, and he nodded in agreement.
Having agreed on the price, Chen Yang didn’t waste any more words and asked directly when they would depart.
“We were thinking of leaving tomorrow, but if Mr.
Chen, you have affairs to deal with, it’s also possible to delay for a day or two,” said Wang Hong.
“No time like the present, let’s leave tomorrow.
I can settle my family matters this afternoon,” Chen Yang decisively stated.
Wang Hong was pleased upon hearing this, naturally preferring to set out as soon as possible.
“Then that’s settled,” he said.
“Mm-hmm.”
The two had quickly settled the matter in just a short while.
After a brief chat about the departure time and meeting place for the next day, Wang Hong then stood up to leave.
As Chen Yang watched Wang Hong depart with his two companions, he turned to Li Han with a smile and asked, “How did you get in touch with someone from the Wang Family?”
“Wang Hong was my college classmate,” Li Han replied.
“Oh, I see,” Chen Yang nodded, not saying anything more.
