Instantly, all eyes fell upon Er Zhu, looking at him in disbelief.
"Why are you looking for him? He's practically bankrupt!"
Wang Xiao wiped his mouth, almost blurting out the truth in his anger, but suddenly seemed to recall something and quickly covered his mouth.
"Mr. Wang, do you still have that Five-Flavor Chicken? Qingya Hotel sold out."
Manager Zheng ignored Wang Xiao and looked at Er Zhu with a smile, tentatively asking.
Boom!
Manager Zheng's words struck the Wang family like lightning, leaving them stunned. Everyone's eyes were filled with shock!
A powerful magnate had come to their Wang family only to buy chicken!
The appeal of this Five-Flavor Chicken was truly immense…
"My wife had the good fortune to taste that Five-Flavor Chicken a few days ago, and she can't forget its deliciousness. I'm at my wit's end. As long as you have it, we can talk about the price!"
Seeing Er Zhu remain silent, Manager Zheng smiled even more brilliantly, almost pleadingly, and added.
Everyone swallowed in shock, looking at Er Zhu with even greater astonishment. Wang Xiao, in particular, looked like his eyeballs were about to fall out.
This Five-Flavor Chicken truly lived up to its reputation, making a powerful magnate so humble!
"Yes, I do, but I need to make it fresh, so it will take some time."
Er Zhu looked at Manager Zheng's sincere expression and then at Wang Xiao's crestfallen face, and slowly spoke.
Normally, there would be no special treatment, but seeing as it would put Wang Xiao in his place, he decided to make an exception.
It wasn't difficult for him, and besides, it was a good deed.
"Great, great, great. As long as I can buy the chicken today, I'll wait as long as it takes."
"How much for two Five-Flavor Chickens? I'll transfer the money to you right now!"
As soon as Er Zhu finished speaking, Manager Zheng nodded repeatedly with excitement, pulling out his phone as he spoke. He looked as if he were afraid Er Zhu would go back on his word.
"One hundred thousand."
Er Zhu calmly replied, picking up a bite of food.
A hush fell over the scene, so quiet you could hear a pin drop!
One hundred thousand for just two chickens? Were these chickens made of gold?
Mother Wang was about to mock Er Zhu, but thinking of the deliciousness of the Five-Flavor Chicken, she held her tongue.
Wang Xiao, standing nearby, turned green with anger, and even the Five-Flavor Chicken in his mouth no longer tasted good!
He had been humiliated once already, and now he was being humiliated again!
Two chickens for a hundred thousand, he suddenly felt that the luxury gifts he had given seemed less appealing!
Wang Xiao clenched his fists, a flicker of anger in his eyes, but it quickly vanished.
It didn't matter. This guy was about to go bankrupt anyway. No matter how expensive these Five-Flavor Chickens were sold, it wouldn't help Er Zhu make a comeback!
Furthermore, once Pomegranate Village became infamous, forget about chickens, not even a stone would sell!
Thinking this, Wang Xiao felt a lot better.
"Mr. Wang, I've already transferred the money. I'll wait for you outside."
With a "ding-dong" notification, Manager Zheng smiled at Er Zhu, left these words, and turned to leave.
Great! He wouldn't have to sleep on the floor tonight!
Thinking of his stunningly beautiful wife, Manager Zheng licked his lips, looking like a lustful old man.
"Great-grandpa, I'll be direct today. You cannot marry Cousin to Er Zhu. This country bumpkin is a pauper!"
After Manager Zheng left, Wang Xiao wasted no more time and stated the purpose of his visit directly.
"Wang Xiao, what nonsense are you talking about? Er Zhu's business is booming, we all know it!"
Father Wang's face darkened, and he glared at Wang Xiao as if he were an idiot.
This Wang Xiao was truly a fool. Er Zhu was the richest man in the neighboring city!
Father Wang opened his mouth, about to say it, but seeing Er Zhu, he swallowed the words.
"I know all of that, but he's about to go bankrupt!"
Wang Xiao disdainfully glanced at Er Zhu and pulled out the photos Shi Changshan had sent him.
"These products are made with inferior traditional Chinese herbs. As a businessman, Great-grandpa, you know the consequences of using inferior raw materials, don't you!"
Wang Xiao enlarged the pictures, pointing to the boxes of products labeled with the 'Pomegranate Village' trademark.
Father Wang's eyes widened. He looked at the large trucks in disbelief, his head buzzing like thunder!
As a businessman, how could he not know the consequences!
In the business world, reputation was paramount!
"A merchant who is both poor and wicked like this, if you let Cousin marry him, you'll be pushing her into a fiery pit!"
Seeing Father Wang's hesitant gaze, Wang Xiao pointed at the pictures and added fuel to the fire.
"That's right. My daughter is a pearl in my palm, she absolutely cannot go to the countryside to suffer!"
Mother Wang glared fiercely at Er Zhu and, without any hesitation, expressed her thoughts.
"Don't talk nonsense. You're the one who's going bankrupt. Er Zhu's business will only get better and better. Don't spread rumors here!"
Seeing her parents' expressions change, Wang Xiaomei stood up anxiously and spoke up for Er Zhu.
"Cousin, don't say anything yet. Tell me, is this place Pomegranate Village? Tell me, are these products from Pomegranate Village?"
As Wang Xiaomei was about to continue speaking, Wang Xiao turned his phone and pointed at the photos on the screen, questioning her again.
Wang Xiaomei instinctively wanted to say no, but seeing the beautiful scenery and the trademark on the products, she could only remain silent.
"Er Zhu, I really cannot agree to this matter of yours. It's not that I, Wang, look down on the poor, but your trouble is too great!"
Seeing Wang Xiaomei's silence, Father Wang took a deep breath and looked at Er Zhu.
"Son, you can't say that. Er Zhu is so capable, he'll definitely make a comeback!"
Grandma Wang's face instantly fell upon hearing Father Wang's words. She looked at Father Wang with displeasure.
"He's from a notorious, poor village, a pauper. What will he use to make a comeback? His reputation as a wicked merchant?"
"Great-grandma, don't be fooled by this kid's pretty face. Only I can give Cousin happiness!"
Before Father Wang could speak, Wang Xiao scoffed at Er Zhu and then patted his chest sincerely.
His confident demeanor almost made Er Zhu laugh.
This idiot was quite amusing…
"Everything you've said will not happen. I will not go bankrupt, nor do I need to make a comeback, because there is absolutely nothing wrong with that batch of products!"
Seeing that Wang Xiao had said enough, Er Zhu slowly opened his mouth.
"Hahaha, you idiot!"
"Great-grandma, is this the capable person you were talking about? He doesn't even know his own factory is in trouble!"
Er Zhu's words did not convince anyone; instead, they drew more mockery. Even Father Wang, who had always respected him, looked at him as if he were an idiot.
