Chapter 48

Again inviting Xiao Hai to his farm, Zhou Weiwu was extremely nervous.

After all, if those damned birds and beasts appeared and caused trouble again, everything would be ruined. While accompanying Xiao Hai, he nervously watched his surroundings.

Strangely, not even a sparrow could be seen today.

Zhou Weiwu continued to put on a show, boasting about how great his farm was, how popular it was, how many big bosses were interested, and how much he cared about young entrepreneurs, which was why he was planning to transfer the farm to Xiao Hai.

After boasting for about half an hour, Xiao Hai calmly said, "Two hundred."

"What?" Zhou Weiwu didn't react at first.

"Two hundred per mu! I'll pay you for fifteen years in advance." Xiao Hai said calmly.

"Are you crazy!" Zhou Weiwu almost jumped up: "I leased it for three hundred per mu, and you're offering two hundred? No deal, no deal!"

"Goodbye!" Xiao Hai said and turned to leave.

Zhou Weiwu had only intended to scare him, but he didn't expect Xiao Hai to actually leave. He panicked, as this was his last hope. If Xiao Hai left, what would he do about Old Yan?

He quickly held Xiao Hai back: "Wait, wait, Manager Ai, let's talk it over."

Xiao Hai stopped, and Zhou Weiwu sighed in relief: "Manager Ai, two hundred is really too little. I leased it for three hundred, and I can show you the contract. You can't make me lose so much, right?"

"Two hundred, no negotiation." Xiao Hai's tone left no room for discussion: "If you agree, we'll sign the contract tomorrow, money and contract at the same time. If not, you find someone else, and I'll find another piece of land."

Zhou Weiwu wanted to strangle Xiao Hai, but he put on a pitiful face: "Manager Ai, I really have no other choice..."

He kept complaining about his difficulties. If it were before, Xiao Hai might have softened, but after learning about Zhou Weiwu's character, he was determined to teach him a lesson, making him cry and beg.

Xiao Hai stuck to two hundred, and Zhou Weiwu made some concessions, lowering the price to 290, 280... but Xiao Hai didn't budge.

When the price reached 250, Zhou Weiwu felt like he had become a fool, but Xiao Hai still insisted on 200.

Zhou Weiwu decided not to budge any further, otherwise, he would lose everything. Just as he was about to curse and kick Xiao Hai out, Old Yan's call came again. Zhou Weiwu quickly ran to the side, and Old Yan's harsh tone gave him a final warning before hanging up.

Damn it, this is trying to kill me! Old Yan is a mad dog who doesn't recognize his own family when he bites!

"Manager Ai, can you add a bit more?" When Zhou Weiwu returned to Xiao Hai, he changed his address from "you" to "you (formal)."

Xiao Hai smiled: "Manager Zhou, you see, I'm also very busy. I came all the way here and stood in the sun with you. Do you think I'm just here for fun? This is the last time, two hundred, you sell or not, I'll walk back myself."

Zhou Weiwu cursed Xiao Hai's ancestors in his heart, but had no choice. He put on a sad face: "I'm out of luck. Two hundred per mu, but paying for only fifteen years is too little."

After more haggling, they finally agreed on 200 per mu, with a payment for twenty years, totaling 140,000 yuan.

This price was quite good. Xiao Hai got a great deal. Even if he paid for thirty years, it wouldn't be a problem, but he only had 180,000 yuan available. The farm needed more investment.

Zhou Weiwu had been scheming for half his life, but this time he was thoroughly defeated by a young man... He calculated and realized he had lost a lot.

However, he felt a bit smug. The farm was full of strange birds and beasts, and even venomous snakes. Fortunately, they didn't appear today, but once you take over the farm, you'll cry!

They agreed to meet the next day to handle the transfer procedures. Xiao Hai suddenly said, "I have one more condition."

Zhou Weiwu's teeth ached. What else does this little brat want?

"Didn't you say the Wei brothers would stay for me?" Xiao Hai thought he would need help: "I want them."

"Fine." Zhou Weiwu was glad to get rid of the Wei brothers: "But I owe them two months' salary, one thousand per month, a total of four thousand."

One thousand per month? That's too harsh! Any other job would pay more! Xiao Hai looked at Zhou Weiwu but didn't say much, agreeing to pay the Wei brothers' two months' salary.

While Zhou Weiwu was starting his car, Xiao Hai called the Wei brothers over, gave them five hundred yuan, and instructed them to prepare some food and drinks for the next day. The Wei brothers knew Xiao Hai would soon be their boss and agreed to stay, so they gratefully accepted the money.

This went smoothly, and they returned to Xinan in the afternoon.

The sun was scorching, and the air was suffocating.

Xiao Hai couldn't afford to be idle. Dealing with a cunning businessman like Zhou Weiw required no slack. He knew nothing about contracts, and if Zhou Weiwu did something underhanded, it would be a loss.

He had already chosen a small law firm online, specializing in contract signing. He couldn't afford a big firm, but this small one could handle the transfer contract.

The firm, named "Zhengyi," was in a corner of the third floor of an old six-story building, not easy to find.

Xiao Hai knocked on the door.

"Come in." A woman's voice came from inside.

As soon as he opened the door, a cool breeze hit him, relieving the heat.

"Hello, are you Lawyer Cheng Xue? I'm Xiao Hai, we had an appointment."

"Hello, I'm Cheng Xue, please sit." The only woman in the office looked up and said.

A beauty! Xiao Hai's heart was cooled by the sight of a beautiful lawyer.

She was about twenty-five or twenty-six, with her hair up, wearing a simple white shirt, a black business suit, black high heels, and black stockings. Her professional demeanor, combined with her good looks and figure, was a pleasure to the eye...

Well, admiring a beautiful woman isn't a sin, right?

Cheng Xue didn't notice Xiao Hai's thoughts and got straight to the point: "I understand your situation from our phone call. This is the transfer agreement I drafted for you. Please review it. If you have no objections, here is a power of attorney. Sign it, and our agreement will be established. I'll go with you to Yuechang to handle the contract signing tomorrow."

Xiao Hai couldn't understand the contract, so he quickly glanced through it and signed the power of attorney. Then he took out the cash he had prepared: "Three thousand yuan in total. I find transferring money too troublesome, so I brought cash."

"Actually, there's no need to rush. I'll give you a receipt, and I'll provide a formal invoice after the matter is settled." Cheng Xue gave him a receipt: "We'll leave at 8 AM tomorrow. By the way, do you have a car?"

"Yes!" Xiao Hai said seriously: "But if we leave at 8, I'll be here at 7."

"Why?" Cheng Xue was puzzled.

"Because we need to go to the bus station first and find a minibus to Yuechang. I estimate it will take about an hour."

Cheng Xue was taken aback, then amused. This counts as having a car? A minibus? She had seen many clients, but this was the first time with someone like Xiao Hai.

In the past, she might have refused such a client, but she looked at him and frowned: "You look familiar, have I seen you somewhere?"

Ah, Lawyer Cheng, that's a line men usually use to start a conversation with women. Xiao Hai was amused.

"Right, City Hero, you're the City Hero!" Cheng Xue suddenly remembered: "You were on TV, and everyone is looking for you!"

"I'm not a criminal, why would they look for me?" Xiao Hai muttered: "Lawyer Cheng, please don't tell anyone, I hate being interviewed about gratitude."

Cheng Xue nodded in understanding, her opinion of Xiao Hai improving. Although he was a bit slick, he was a city hero who saved a little girl's life!

After a moment's thought: "Let's do this, you still come at 8, and I'll drive."

"Thanks, Lawyer Cheng." Xiao Hai suddenly thought of something: "By the way, I have a friend coming with me. Can you do me a favor and take him along?"

This guy, always pushing his luck, Cheng Xue reluctantly agreed.

"Alright, see you at 8 AM tomorrow." Xiao Hai said goodbye to Lawyer Cheng, then called Meng Jiagui: "Mud, what are you doing? What? Hero? Don't talk to me about that. Hey, remember I said I'd help you find a job? Come to my place at 7 AM tomorrow. Okay, we'll have breakfast together."

After hanging up, he thought, even Meng Jiagui knows about my rescue. This secret won't last long.

Lucky, lucky, to run into Meng Jiagui. Having Meng Jiagui and the Wei brothers watch over the farm would be reassuring. But after this 140,000 yuan transfer, he wouldn't have much money left.

He didn't know when the farm would start generating income, but he hoped his special ability to accelerate animal growth would help.
