The Transmigrated Farm Girl Has a Cheat Code

Chapter 62 Sincerity

Lin Yan returned home and continued making plum wine while waiting for news.

Five days later, Fu Bo sent someone to pick up Lin Yan and take her to Jufulou.

When Lin Yan arrived, the people from Xinglintang were already waiting in the private room.

Besides Fu Bo, two other people were sitting at the table in the private room: a middle-aged man with a goatee and a handsome young man.

Seeing Lin Yan push the door open and enter, Fu Bo stood up and introduced her to the three of them, "Mr. Xu. This is the seller of the Ganoderma lucidum."

“Lin Yan, this is Mr. Xu Ming, the purchasing agent of Xinglin Hall, and his young master…” Fu Bo only knew that this young master should be a member of Xinglin Hall, but he did not know who he was.

“Yu Wenjie!” the young man replied.

"Oh, Mr. Yu!"

Xu Ming and Yu Wenjie were clearly surprised to see Lin Yan enter. Xu Ming asked, "Why is it a little girl?"

"Can't a little girl sell Ganoderma lucidum?" Lin Yan nodded to the two of them, sat down opposite them, and showed no fear whatsoever.

Yu Wenjie was intrigued and asked curiously, "Where are your parents? Why did they send a little girl like you?"

Lin Yan said innocently, "My master? They've been busy with a lot of things at home lately, so they sent me!"

Seeing her like this, Fu Bo twitched his eye, not understanding what Lin Yan was up to now. Her act of pretending to know nothing reminded him of how he had been beaten up, and he shuddered violently.

"How can we even talk about this?" Xu Ming was dumbfounded.

Yu Wenjie, still all smiles, chatted with Lin Yan: "We've seen that Ganoderma lucidum. To be honest, I've never seen such a big wild Ganoderma lucidum in my life. Did your family pick it in the mountains?"

"No, it's a family heirloom!" Lin Yan blinked her big eyes, looking completely innocent.

Yu Wenjie's smile cracked. Could this girl really be completely clueless? "It's a family heirloom? Uh... it's still covered in dirt, it's no more than half a month old."

Lin Yan asked in surprise, "Oh, really? Then it must have been freshly picked in the mountains!"

Yu Wenjie: ...Are these people serious?

Fu Bo's eye twitched violently; he was barely able to control his expression.

Lin Yan looked at the speechless Yu Wenjie and said, "Didn't you want to buy Ganoderma lucidum? Name your price!"

"Name your price?!"

Xu Ming and Yu Wenjie were taken aback, thinking: "Isn't this the one you want to sell? Why are you asking us to name a price? How can you do business like this? Do you want to find out our bottom line first?"

"Yes, my dad said that whatever you offer, we'll sell it for." Lin Yan was quite young, and usually spoke with maturity and composure, which didn't seem like much. But now, with her feigned ignorance, her voice sounded childish, making her seem very easy to fool.

Xu Ming and Yu Wenjie exchanged a glance.

Yu Wenjie laughed and said, "Are you really going to let us bid?"

Lin Yan nodded: "Yes!"

Yu Wenjie lowered his head and pondered for a while, then looked at Xu Ming and nodded to him.

Xu Ming thought for a moment, then gave a figure that was neither too high nor too low, and asked uncertainly, "Then... six hundred taels?"

Fu Bo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he thought to himself, "It's really valuable!"

"Deal!" Lin Yan said decisively.

In his heart, he thought, "They must be rich. They're willing to spend six hundred taels to buy a medicinal herb. Lingzhi itself isn't rare. This one is rare because it's old. But no matter how rare it is, it's still just a medicine. Even if it's more potent, it can't bring people back to life or heal bones. Who in the ordinary family would spend so much money to buy it? But it's appropriate to give it to the emperor as a birthday gift. For the royal family, cherishing it is the right thing to do."

Xu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, but was also a little confused, wondering if he had overestimated his chances.

Yu Wenjie blinked and smiled at Lin Yan: "Aren't you going to try and lower the price a little more? Then it'll be a deal?"

Lin Yan tilted her head and looked at him: "Want to bargain? Then let's try to bargain!"

Upon hearing that Lin Yan wanted to bargain, Xu Ming took a deep breath and prepared to negotiate with her.

To everyone's surprise, "Let's haggle a bit, then... five hundred taels?"

"Hiss?" This time it was Fu Bo's turn to take a deep breath. He winked at Lin Yan, thinking: Did she drink too much yesterday?!

Xu Ming and Yu Wenjie were indeed stunned.

"Cough cough cough cough, cough cough cough!" Xu Ming couldn't exhale the breath he had inhaled and started coughing.

Yu Wenjie was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, "Pfft, hahahahaha! Hahahahaha!"

After laughing for a while, he finally calmed down: "How could you cut the price down yourself? You're the seller, you're selling things to us, you should be raising the price! Your parents are too carefree, letting you out to do business."

"Fu Bo, you, hahahahaha!" Yu Wenjie couldn't help but burst into laughter again.

Fu Bo remained expressionless, his mind filled with complaints. He glanced at Lin Yan and saw her winking at him, knowing that she knew exactly what she was doing. He just didn't know what she was up to!

Yu Wenjie said, "Lin Yan, right? Go home and find your parents. We'll wait here, or we can arrange to meet again tomorrow!"

"Six hundred taels is the price we've set. You can go back and tell them." Yu Wenjie figured Lin Yan's family were probably just farmers in the village and wouldn't understand business negotiations.

"No need! I can make the decision." Lin Yan's lips curled up slightly, her voice no longer childish, but clear and mature.

Yu Wenjie raised an eyebrow.

Fu Bo breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally back to normal!"

Lin Yan glanced at the two people opposite her and said crisply, "I accept your price. Doing this business with you is based on the reputation of Xinglintang."

Fu Bo and I don't understand the value and market price of medicinal herbs. Although I know that Ganoderma lucidum is hard to find, I couldn't judge its price. However, I believe that the price offered by Xinglintang is reasonable in your opinion. If you think it's reasonable, then it's suitable for both parties. I'm selling it at a lower price than reasonable because I admire Xinglintang's integrity and sincerity.

Fu Bo's eyes flickered as he looked at Lin Yan. Was she serious when she said that? Although it might seem foolish in business, it was extremely rare in terms of character.

Xu Ming and Yu Wenjie were both shocked to hear Lin Yan speak so clearly and logically.

Xu Ming sighed, "So that's what Miss Lin was thinking. We were just being petty."

Lin Yan smiled, her eyes bright as if sparkling with stars, "Sir, you have no ill intentions. You advised me several times to ask my parents for their opinions, and you didn't mean to take advantage of the situation!"

Yu Wenjie stared at Lin Yan without saying a word for a while, then suddenly smiled.

His eyes were full of admiration: "Miss Lin just fooled us all. I really thought... Ha!"

"I never expected to run into someone like Miss Lin here!"

Lin Yan smiled at the two of them, thinking to herself, "Come on, this is a conscientious company, shouldn't I show my support too?"

“In that case, let’s do as Miss Lin says… five hundred taels!” Yu Wenjie said.

Xu Ming turned his head in surprise to look at his young master, but said nothing.

The young master's acceptance of Lin Yan's sincerity signifies a desire to establish good relations, which is different from ordinary business dealings.

Fu Bo also understood the reasoning behind it and looked at Lin Yan happily.

"make a deal!"

The three had just made their decision when they heard someone knocking on the door.

"Young master!"
