Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

Chen Dong's lips curled up in a smile.

There's an old saying that goes, "The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish."

Is there such an old saying? I've never heard of it before.

Mr. Zhang only regrets not knowing Brother Qiang.

Then, gently set down the coffee cup, making a slight clinking sound.

"Hmph, you young man, you've got quite the nerve."

"While you do have some insight, the risks here are not as simple as you think."

Chen Dong responded calmly.

"Although I am still young, I am not completely ignorant of the market."

"I did a lot of research."

After a pause, Chen Dong looked directly into Boss Zhang's eyes and slowly said, "How about this, ten thousand yuan."

"Ten thousand yuan, and I'll transfer the three-year lease on these two acres of gravelly land to you."

"This price is relative to the future development potential of this land."

"With three years to go, it's really a great deal."

The male and female secretaries standing nearby widened their eyes upon hearing the price.

The male secretary was the first to attack, raising his voice to mock, "Are you out of your mind? Ten thousand yuan?"

"This land was only worth a few hundred yuan before, are you crazy for money?!"

"They actually dared to multiply it by a hundred times!"

The female secretary echoed her sentiments, her tone full of disdain.

"Exactly, they don't even know their own limitations, yet they're asking for an exorbitant amount."

"They really thought our boss would be the one to take the fall."

Chen Dong merely glanced at them indifferently, his expression remaining calm.

"Please shut up. If you can make the decisions for Mr. Zhang, then there's no need for us to continue this discussion."

The male secretary, however, became even more aggressive and stood up.

Pointing his finger at Chen Dong, he threatened, "Don't be so arrogant, kid. Do you know Boss Zhang's status in this industry?"

"If you dare to ask for such an exorbitant price, you'll regret it!"

The female secretary also stood up and crossed her arms.

He said dismissively, "Just a poor student, yet you have such a big mouth. Do you even know what ten thousand yuan looks like?!"

Chen Dong frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

He looked at Boss Zhang and said, "Boss Zhang, I hope you can manage your subordinates and make them shut up."

"Otherwise, I won't discuss this business."

"At worst, I can spend some time building something myself. If all else fails, it's not a big deal if it rots in my hands for three years."

Threatened in return, Mr. Zhang's face darkened, and he instinctively wanted to get angry.

But Mr. Zhang quickly stopped thinking about it.

A sentence that Chen Dong once said came to mind.

My father is Chen Jianguo.

So, Mr. Zhang turned around and scolded his male and female secretaries.

"Shut up, you two! What do you mean you can't talk this out? Get out!"

The male and female secretaries looked at each other, their faces filled with astonishment.

But they dared not disobey their boss's orders.

After all, these days, it's really rare to find a job with such good benefits, high pay, and little work.

So the male and female secretaries could only slink away.

Mr. Zhang hesitated for a moment, then turned and exchanged a glance with Deputy Section Chief Liao beside him.

Deputy Section Chief Liao nodded slightly and leaned close to Boss Zhang's ear.

He said softly, "Mr. Zhang, this price is almost seventeen times higher than you expected."

"But think about Chen Dong's background. His father is the deputy director of the Urban Construction Bureau, which is in charge of this area."

"Moreover, the potential value of this land should not be underestimated."

"In addition, if we miss these three golden years, the construction period will definitely be extended."

"The project might not be able to proceed as planned."

"This part is really crucial to the project; it would be too painful if we couldn't get it."

Mr. Zhang thought so too after hearing these words.

Mr. Zhang sighed softly and nodded helplessly.

Then, Boss Zhang turned to look at Chen Dong and smiled again.

"Xiao Chen, you're really a remarkable young man."

"Okay, ten thousand yuan it is. Deal."

A satisfied smile immediately spread across Chen Dong's face as he stood up and generously extended his hand.

"Mr. Zhang, it's a pleasure doing business with you."

Boss Zhang also reached out and firmly grasped Chen Dong's hand.

"It was a pleasure working with you. I hope we'll have the opportunity to work together again in the future."

That smile betrayed an indescribable pain.

If it weren't for your dad being the current manager, or if it weren't for your pickup truck being in the middle of my project...

Me!

Forget it, don't be angry, don't be angry, harmony brings wealth!

......

Meanwhile, on the bustling streets of Nanjiang County.

Sunlight filters through the dappled leaves and falls onto the ground.

With a mix of excitement and nervousness, Chen Guilan walked briskly toward the small jewelry wholesale market.

Since following Chen Dong's advice to start a small jewelry business, her life has gradually been filled with busyness and hope.

As I walked into the familiar wholesale market, the owner was just organizing the shelves.

Upon seeing Chen Guilan enter, a warm smile immediately bloomed on his face: "Guilan, you're here!"

"I knew you'd be coming to restock in the next few days."

"How are the goods you ordered last time selling at No. 4 Middle School?"

Chen Guilan's face beamed with undisguised joy: "Boss, this stuff is so popular!"

“I set up a stall at the entrance of No. 4 Middle School, and the students were all scrambling to buy from me like crazy.”

"I'm rushing to get more stock, afraid of running out of supplies."

Upon hearing this, the boss's eyes narrowed into slits with a smile: "Haha, that's good, that's good."

"I always said that the style and quality of our trinkets are absolutely top-notch."

What kind of goods are you planning to stock up on this time?

Chen Guilan gathered her thoughts and then said, "Boss, I'd like to order more hair ties."

"Students especially love those colorful hair ties with small decorations."

"And those small bracelets, the last batch we ordered wasn't enough to sell."

"Oh, and I'd also like to get more of those hair clips with crystal beads that you recommended to me last time."

The shopkeeper nodded while making notes in his notebook: "Alright, young lady. You have good taste; these are all best-selling items right now."

"But with your business so doing so well, have you ever thought about expanding it or something?"

Chen Guilan sighed softly, "Boss, I'd like to, but it has to be done step by step."

"Right now, I just want to focus on making sure the business at No. 4 Middle School is running smoothly."

"Speaking of which, I'd like to discuss something with you."

The boss looked up curiously and said, "What's the matter? Just tell me."

Chen Guilan smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Boss, you see, I've just started to make a name for myself at No. 4 Middle School, and I'm afraid that others will come and steal my business."

"Could you...could you supply only to me from now on, and stop supplying other vendors at No. 4 Middle School?"

"That way I can continue doing this business well, and my orders from you will definitely increase."

The boss frowned slightly, looking troubled: "Gui Lan, your request is a bit difficult for me."
