Small Farmer Medical God

In the waiting area, upon hearing the approaching steps growing closer, Hu Xiaobei knew someone was nearing.

After gently setting down the cup in his hand, Hu Xiaobei raised his head and quickly saw two people walking towards him, one after the other.

They were the shopkeeper and the manager sent from the headquarters...

When they had gone upstairs earlier, they had introduced themselves, so Hu Xiaobei knew their names were Guo Demeng and Su Wei.

"Mr. Hu, I apologize for the long wait!"

After giving them both a glance, Hu Xiaobei shook his head slightly, "No problem. I've been enjoying a cup of tea here; it's quite nice."

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's response, Guo Demeng smiled and asked earnestly, "Mr. Hu, we took a close look at the medicinal herbs you brought in and found their quality to be excellent! We're wondering if you have any special preservation methods?"

Hearing Guo Demeng getting straight to the point, Su Wei became a bit nervous too because he knew that if they could obtain this special preservation method, their utilization of medicinal herbs would improve dramatically in the future, potentially earning them several times more...

Sensing their heightened emotions, Hu Xiaobei knew they were evidently very interested in the herb preservation method!

Regarding this, Hu Xiaobei wasn't surprised, "It's just a little trick, nothing worth mentioning."

Understanding that Hu Xiaobei wasn't going to disclose it freely, they frowned slightly...

Just as Guo Demeng was about to say something, Su Wei spoke up first, "Don't be so modest! Tell us the method. Don't worry, we won't let you lose out! Two hundred thousand, we're willing to pay two hundred thousand for the method of preserving medicinal herbs. What do you think?"

"Two hundred thousand?"

Upon hearing Su Wei name this price, Guo Demeng's expression shifted subtly!

At this moment, he thought that the price Su Wei had mentioned was too low...

Su Wei himself knew the price was incredibly low, but he felt it was sufficient!

He had learned from Guo Demeng earlier that Hu Xiaobei was just some unimpressive farmer, so he believed they really didn't need to pay a high price. Two hundred thousand should be more than enough to excite such a naïve farmer...

Glancing at Su Wei, Hu Xiaobei said indifferently, "Sorry, I'm not interested in selling the method. Of course, if I find other medicinal herbs in the future, I'm still willing to sell them to you. For now, I'll be leaving."

Hu Xiaobei said this and then stood up, ready to leave!

Honestly, even if Su Wei had offered two million, even twenty million, Hu Xiaobei would never sell the method of preserving medicinal herbs, as he knew it was the foundation of his livelihood.

But now uttering the sum of two hundred thousand was essentially a show of disrespect!

Put simply, Su Wei thought he was a bumpkin and aimed to swindle him!

"Wait, you're not going to give it any consideration?"

Faced with Hu Xiaobei's direct rejection, Su Wei gave him a cold look!

In an instant, Su Wei's expression turned sour.

In his view, Hu Xiaobei was not showing him any respect at all!

Who was he?

A high and mighty manager!

And yet Hu Xiaobei was nothing but a base farmer. Simply put, he had no right to refuse him...

"Sorry, as I said, I'm not interested!"

Feeling the threat in his tone, Hu Xiaobei's expression darkened as well!

Guo Demeng saw the situation quickly become suffocating and hurriedly said, "Brother Hu, I'll take you away now! If you have medicinal herbs in the future, remember to sell them to us again!"

Hearing Guo Demeng's words, Hu Xiaobei indifferently said, "We'll talk about it later."

After that, Hu Xiaobei left the place. Watching Hu Xiaobei walk away, Guo Demeng silently sighed. He felt that Su Wei had been a bit too impatient for success just now...

...

"What the heck! Just a damn farmer, really thinks he's on equal footing with me?"

After Hu Xiaobei had left, Su Wei growled lowly and, the next moment, furiously smashed a cup on the table to the ground!

In his eyes, that damn Hu Xiaobei was completely ungrateful!

"Manager, you..."

Seeing Su Wei smash the cup to pieces, Guo Demeng was a bit startled!

After looking at Guo Demeng, Su Wei sternly yelled, "You came back just in time. Now go and give the order to stop purchasing the medicinal herbs delivered by Hu Xiaobei! In fact, stop purchasing at all collection points now! If anyone asks why, tell them it's because of Hu Xiaobei!"

Hearing Su Wei's venomous plot, Guo Demeng was startled, "But... but doing so will hurt the enemy a thousand and ourselves eight hundred!"

"I know stopping purchases will cause some pain for our pharmaceutical company, but it doesn't matter! Hu Xiaobei will soon surrender! Of course, I will explain it well to the higher-ups. So don't worry about anything, just go and give the orders!"

"Well... okay then! I'll give the orders right away!"

Watching Guo Demeng leave, Su Wei sneered and said, "Hu Xiaobei, now I've stopped purchasing medicinal herbs! Everyone ready to sell their herbs will soon know it's because of you that we've stopped buying! By then, so many people will want to swallow you alive!"

Borrowing a knife to kill someone!

In Su Wei's view, a damn farmer wasn't worth himself getting seriously involved!

Just a little trick from him would be enough to give him a taste...

"Before long, I will make you kneel in front of me to confess your sins!"

Feeling wildly ecstatic, Su Wei's face twisted with fervor...

Meanwhile, downstairs, Guo Demeng sighed silently!

He knew that Su Wei had really been thoroughly provoked this time!

"Hu Xiaobei, you've really stirred up trouble this time!"

After saying this, Guo Demeng sighed silently again!

He was well aware of Su Wei's background, so he knew that Hu Xiaobei was in a truly terrible situation this time...

Hu Xiaobei didn't know that they had started targeting him!

Even if he knew, Hu Xiaobei wouldn't care!

At the moment, he had reached the market because he intended to buy a water pump for irrigation...

"What a variety!"

After arriving at the market, Hu Xiaobei realized there were all sorts of water pumps available!

After selecting a water pump with the largest water output, Hu Xiaobei paid for it, then happily carried it onto his bike and rode home...

When he returned to the village, it was already dark. Hu Xiaobei unloaded the water pump, and afterward, he grabbed his empty medicine basket and headed straight for Guo Meiyu's house. However, as soon he reached Guo Meiyu's doorstep, Hu Xiaobei's expression turned extremely unsightly...
