High School Belle Fell in Love with Me-Chapter 345 - 173: The Dilemma of the Amount

"I wanted to chat with you, after all, eating pork every day gets boring, so I’d like to try beef for a change. I know you have a lot of beef on hand, and though pork isn’t worth much, it’s equally nutritious to eat, so I’m willing to exchange five pounds of pork for one pound of your beef."

Bai Jingxuan hurriedly said, "I’m just here for a free meal, at my age, I don’t have the energy to raise cattle, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed this time."

He knew full well that the Cen Family wanted to collaborate with Li Yang.

The so-called pork refers to resources in the Capital City, while beef refers to outside resources.

Eating pork all the time is not promising, beef has a higher nutritional value and is healthier for growth.

People who eat pork without restraint will quickly become overweight and unable to move.

When you can’t lift your feet, even if the steps are right in front of you, you still can’t go up.

The middle-aged man said, "Don’t be in a hurry to refuse, I’m actually not asking for much, given your connection with the cattle ranchers, getting a bit shouldn’t be difficult, and on our end, we can provide as many resources as possible, at least ensure the cattle ranchers have permits, right? Ensure some minor incidents won’t be investigated, right?"

Bai Jingxuan knew the counterpart was very strong, their overall strength was far greater than his Bai Family, after all they’ve been deeply rooted in the Capital City for decades, although his home was here, they’ve actually been discontinued.

He also understood the underlying meaning of the counterpart’s words, preferring to destroy the meat rather than not getting it.

Bai Jingxuan believed the counterpart had the strength, but it would definitely come at a substantial cost.

After all, Li Yang is quite famous. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Since you can help us so much, you could just go talk to him directly, my old face really doesn’t carry that much weight."

He doesn’t eat much, the initiative is in Li Yang’s hands, he’s just a middleman.

Nothing is expected of his sons and grandsons, he can only hope to leave some resources for his great-grandchildren’s generation, whether they can rise depends entirely on them.

The middle-aged man said, "To be honest, I just got the cold shoulder, and even my useless son went to bow his head and apologize."

"Huh? Bow his head and apologize?"

Bai Jingxuan was shocked, he never expected things to reach this point.

The situation has reached an impasse, either everyone binds their interests and pretends nothing happened, or it becomes a fight to the finish.

The counterpart mentioned this embarrassing truth precisely to let Bai Jingxuan know this point.

If they can’t cooperate with Li Yang, then they’ll definitely have to resolve this matter.

"If you don’t believe it, old Bai, you can go ask."

Bai Jingxuan waved his hand and said, "Of course I believe, after all, getting him to spare some meat doesn’t compare to this."

"What?"

This time, it was the middle-aged man’s turn to be stunned.

On one hand, he was surprised Bai Jingxuan dared to say it, on the other hand, amazed at how ruthless Li Yang could be?

Bai Jingxuan deliberately said it because there’s no way he would let go of the benefits Li Yang shared with him.

Li Yang didn’t actually embarrass him, he just played the sympathy card.

Quickly, the middle-aged man recovered, asking, "Old Bai, you’re putting your foot down this time."

"I’m just a soon-to-retire old man, what’s there to worry about? After all, I don’t have much time left..."

"Alright, I won’t bother you today."

The middle-aged man stood up and left Songbai Garden.

Bai Jingxuan emphasized his retirement was near, just to warn him, he doesn’t care, he can do anything.

To him... this matter has both good and bad aspects... The downside is truly angering Bai Jingxuan would be troublesome.

The upside is that Bai Jingxuan is soon to be gone, and in a few years, Li Yang wouldn’t be able to come up.

...

Li Yang drove the sports car Jiang Banxia gave him, taking her for a spin.

After just resting, he took out his phone for a glimpse and found the class results were out.

Moreover, his three roommates had all sent him messages.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"What’s wrong? Can’t you check it yourself, damn, I flunked the exam!"

Li Yang replied angrily.

Damn it, never would he flunk an exam, after all, who in Jing University doesn’t know he’s a model student, always reading.
