CHAPTER 644: CHAPTER 42: YOU PLAY THE SHILL_2

Huang Huannfu was certainly one of them; ever since Aisha appeared, his gaze was nearly glued to her.

"Brother Huang, you haven’t introduced the two ladies to me yet," Yezi’s face was flushed with a red glow, as if she was shy and also trying to compete for something.

Seeing this, Xu Lan Ya felt even more displeased and snorted heavily.

"Look at me, seeing two beautiful ladies like you, I’ve nearly lost my soul, let alone my memory. This is Miss Aisha, from the Roster family of the United States, she’s the biggest investor in the Huangs in recent years," Huang Tengchong introduced Aisha.

The Roster family, it was mentioned on the note. Yezi put on an enamored expression; Aisha was already accustomed to this kind of look. She nodded slightly as a greeting. As for men, other than the damned Zhou Ziang, she never lowered her posture.

"I remember her, that woman who wanted to buy living birds for specimens in Baijia Ancient Town. A few years ago, her skills in controlling birds, thinking about it now, was a form of Beast Control Technique. The Roster family is not simple. Since Huang Tengchong says the Roster family is the biggest supporter of the Huangs, we must be careful with this woman," Yezi questioned in her mind, still wearing a friendly face.

"And this one sitting opposite you, I must give you a proper introduction, she is your new boss going forward, the young miss of the Xu family." After Huang Tengchong finished, Xu Lan Ya realized that this handsome, well-built young man, despite his young age, was actually the one in charge of handling the ginseng business in Beijing.

"Brother Huang? What are you saying? Are you trying to get rid of me?" Yezi didn’t expect Huang Tengchong’s sudden move, to hand him over to someone else. Could it be there was some flaw in his recent actions that had aroused suspicion in Huang Tengchong?

"Silly boy, see where your mind is wandering to, Big Brother Huang is still counting on you to make us rich. To be honest with you, the Xu family is much stronger than my lousy company. It’s winter now, there’s not much profit in breeding anyway, and it just so happens Miss Xu wants to find a trustworthy person. Seeing how you handle matters steadily and are willing to work hard, I recommended you to Miss Xu. The Xu family has considerable influence in the domestic area, especially in the south. Besides, just look at it, working with a beautiful lady like Miss Xu, that’s a lot more pleasant than slumming it with someone like me," Huang Tengchong saw that Yezi was initially startled, but relaxed after hearing his words, and felt at ease as well.

"Boss Huang, stop putting a high hat on me, our ginseng business is also just going along with what others want, it’s not as impressive as you say," Xu Lan Ya said sourly, glancing at Aisha. The ginseng business depended on the power of the Xu family, which alone couldn’t really pull it off; if it wasn’t for the Roster family’s use of some special tactics, those stubborn ginseng handlers in the north-east probably would not have agreed to transfer their channels to the Xu family.

"Miss Xu is too modest. As long as Brother Huang and you are at ease, even the most difficult matters will be helped along by Ah Ye, but when you mentioned ginseng business? I’ve never dealt with it before," Yezi didn’t know the connections among the three, but out of the three, two were scoundrels, and one was a siren scheming everywhere; the matter they were discussing was surely not good.

"Ah Ye, is it? Don’t be so formal; from now on, we’re our own people," Xu Lan Ya stood up, "I’m older than you, so you can call me Sister Xu from now on. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand ginseng as long as you understand people," she whispered in Yezi’s ear.

Yezi almost jumped up, but thankfully, after his training in Fiji, his mental quality was indeed much better than the average person; otherwise, being blown on like that would’ve made him lose all his wits.

"Lan Ya, just spare Ah Ye, looking at him all restless like that, I’m afraid he’s still green," Aisha looked on amused as she opened her purse and took out a beautifully packaged box of ginseng.

"Yes, yes, yes, Ah Ye is so innocent; in all these years, he’s only ever had a thing for his childhood sweetheart. Take it easy with Miss Xu, we should be focusing on the important matters," Huang Tengchong was genuinely a bit jealous of Yezi at the bottom of his heart. Xu Lan Ya’s reputation for fooling around was well-known, and those she favored were not common folks. Observing her attitude towards Yezi, and the somewhat appreciative tone, good looks do indeed give a man an advantage.

"Let’s talk business. According to my grandfather’s wishes, we should take advantage of the fact that old lady Mei Nian is stuck in the north-east, and when their old pharmacy is out of ginseng supply, dispose of our ginseng stock at a reduced price, and in one fell swoop seize the market share of the Mei family," Xu Lan Ya had received the notice from Xu Changfu after leaving school, instructing her to make sure this task was accomplished.

"Why do we have to damage our profit margin by reducing prices when we could simply crush that pharmacy?" Aisha used her broken Chinese, biting the word "die" especially clearly.

"Oh? Does Miss Aisha have some special method?" Xu Lan Ya was displeased in her heart, obviously on the Chinese’s own turf and yet still had to obey orders from someone of the Roster family, not knowing what kind of medicine her grandfather had taken.

"It’s not some special method, I thought Miss Xu with your tactics would have come up with it long ago. If they don’t have ginseng, then we buy ginseng, and we buy a lot of it, buy repeatedly, make a fuss until everyone knows that Plum Rice Ball can’t even supply the most basic medicinal ginseng, then the reputation of the pharmacy would be destroyed," Aisha explained leisurely.

"Isn’t that a bit too protracted? What if old lady Mei Nian comes back?" Xu Lan Ya didn’t want to get into a conflict with Mei Nian.

"It’s okay if it takes a little longer. As far as I know, the old lady of the Mei family has gone to the northern side of Changbai Mountain to look for ginseng, and if she really has gone there, she’s probably not coming back," Aisha said with a coy laugh, which sent chills down Yezi’s spine.
