Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

When Gu Chan returned to Yehuangju, it was already dark.

She had originally thought that after returning to the inn, she would ask the waiter to serve some delicious food and wine to fill her stomach first.

However, as soon as she walked into the lobby on the first floor and sat down at a small table by the window, before she could tell the waiter to serve the food, Leng Yu walked over and sat opposite her.

Gu Chan didn't bother to pay attention to him. She waved to the waiter and said, "Hurry up and serve me some good food and wine. I'm hungry."

"Okay, Manager Gu." The waiter responded respectfully and immediately went to serve the dishes.

Leng Yu stared at Gu Chan and said with a smile, "Manager Gu, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you all day. Look, the luggage of the three of them has been packed and loaded onto your merchant ship. Isn't it time to pay me the three million taels of silver?"

"No hurry, let me eat first. If you are so free, please accompany me for dinner!" Gu Chan said with a faint smile.

"That's fine! I can have a few drinks with you and celebrate your happiness of having three beauties!" Leng Yu said with a forced smile.

Gu Chan glanced at him coldly and fell silent.

After that, the waiter brought the dishes to the table, and Gu Chan started eating by herself, not wanting to say anything more to Leng Yu.

Leng Yu didn't move his chopsticks the whole time, he just held the glass and drank, staring at Gu Chan with cold eyes, as if telling her that if you don't give her money today, you will be in trouble.

Gu Chan pretended not to see it and continued to eat.

Just as she was eating with gusto, Cheng Hao and six other people came over.

Gu Chan waved her hand and said, "Have you eaten? If not, sit down and eat together."

"Master, we have eaten a long time ago." Cheng Hao said.

"Then don't just stand there, call everyone up and unload all the cargo on the ship and pile it up on the dock. We'll have to sell it soon." Gu Chan ordered.

Cheng Hao looked surprised and said, "Master, have you found a buyer?"

"Of course! Otherwise, how could I have the money to pay Manager Leng the three million taels of silver!" Gu Chan said with a wicked smile.

Cheng Hao was stunned where he stood. Having been with Gu Chan for such a long time, he knew her very well and knew that every time she showed that kind of evil smile, it meant that she was going to cause trouble.

Without further ado, he immediately called the Five Golden Flowers and a group of crew members and accompanied them to unload the cargo on the merchant ship.

Leng Yu was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He actually thought that Gu Chan had found a buyer during the day and sold the goods in order to pay him three million taels of silver.

At this moment, he was thinking that when the buyer came and bought the goods, he would just wait to receive the payment.

Gu Chan smiled without saying anything and continued to eat.

An hour later, Gu Chan had almost finished eating, and boxes of herbs were piled up on the dock outside.

Cheng Hao led everyone in from the outside and said, "Master, the goods have all been unloaded. There are a total of 500 boxes of herbs, not a single box is missing, and they have all been counted."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, please find a place to sit!" Gu Chan said with a smile.

Cheng Hao nodded, and everyone found a seat in the lobby.

Gu Chan called the waiter over and asked him to give each table a jar of fine wine as a reward for everyone.

Leng Yu tilted his head to look outside the door and couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Manager Gu, where is the buyer you agreed to buy? Why hasn't he come yet?"

"Isn't the buyer sitting right in front of me?" Gu Chan said, spreading his hands.

"Where is it? Why can't I see it?" Leng Yu said in a daze.

Cheng Hao and others all looked at him and immediately understood that the buyer Gu Chan was talking about was Leng Yu who was sitting in front of her.

Leng Yu turned around and looked around. After being stunned for a long time, he finally reacted and stared at Gu Chan coldly and said, "Shopkeeper Gu, the buyer you are talking about is not me, right?"

"Shopkeeper Leng is smart, it's you." Gu Chan said with a laugh.

"boom!"

Leng Yu's face darkened, he raised his hand and slapped the table, then jumped up in anger, glaring at Gu Chan fiercely, his fists clenched tightly.

Gu Chan's body trembled, and she used the powerful spiritual energy in her body to press forward, and said coldly, "Manager Leng, please don't be impulsive! Otherwise, I will lose control in a while, and you will be the one who suffers."

"You..." Leng Yu was choked speechless.

He himself was not strong, so he had no idea how strong Gu Chan was. It was not until now, when Gu Chan used her spiritual energy to press on him, that he realized that the brat in front of him was actually very powerful and was far beyond his reach.

All businessmen have a consensus, that is, when seeking for money, never make mistakes, and a wise man never suffers a loss in front of him.

Adhering to this idea, he had to suppress the anger in his heart and sat back silently.

Gu Chan sneered and said, "Let's not waste any more time. I have a shipload of 500 boxes of herbs in total. I will sell them all to you to pay for Bilan, Shui Ning, and Mei Xiang."

"Manager Gu, please don't joke with me. These broken herbs of yours are worth three million taels of silver?" Leng Yu said with a grim face.

"You have no vision. This shipload of medicinal herbs of mine is very valuable. If you don't believe me, just look." Gu Chan said with a grin.

After saying that, she immediately reached into her sleeve, took out the certificate of value of the goods that Ye Tianyang had given her, and slapped it in front of Leng Yu.

Leng Yu picked up the certificate and took a look at it. His eyes widened on the spot, and he was shocked beyond words.

Gu Chan said with a strange smile, "Manager Leng, if I give you the goods, it will not only be worth the three million taels of silver they used to buy the three of them, but you will also have to give me two million taels of silver. Pay me now! If you don't, don't blame me for being rude to you."

"I still have to pay you back two million taels of silver?" Leng Yu said angrily.

"What else? This shipload of medicinal herbs of mine is worth a full five million taels of silver. City Lord Ye has given me a certificate. After deducting the three million taels for hiring the person, you must give me two million taels of silver, right?" Gu Chan smiled from ear to ear.

At this time, Cheng Hao and others who were sitting in the lobby couldn't help themselves and covered their mouths with their hands to laugh.

Gu Chan's trick was indeed brilliant. She used this boatload of rotten medicinal herbs to offset the sky-high price offered by Leng Yu, and in the end she even had to ask him to pay her back two million taels of silver.

I'm afraid only Gu Chan could come up with such a dirty trick.

Leng Yu was so angry that he was shaking all over, his internal organs were about to explode. It turned out that he gave away three beauties and didn't get a penny in return, and he had to pay two million taels of silver as compensation. Let alone him, who wouldn't be angry?

In a rage, Leng Yu shouted, "I don't want your shipload of herbs. I want three million taels of silver. You sell the herbs to someone else."

"No, that won't do. I will only sell them to you. It's up to you whether you want them or not. If you want them, you can give me two million taels of silver and the matter will be settled. If you don't want them, I will consider it as you giving me three little beauties. It's that simple. You can decide for yourself." Gu Chan said disdainfully.

"You are simply being unreasonable. I don't accept it and I will report you to the police and hold you accountable." Leng Yu roared.

"Go and report it quickly. I'll be waiting for you. It's very annoying." Gu Chan said without any fear.

Leng Yu was so angry that he went mad. He immediately called one of his men and ordered him to report to the police.

Seeing how angry he was, his men were frightened and quickly ran out of the inn and rushed towards the City Lord's Mansion.
