Chapter 306: A wealthy man gets into a fight over a single cucumber!
"He's gone mad! Has Little Ma gone mad?"
"It's just eating a tomato, why are you getting so worked up?"
"It's an act, isn't it? Su Tianhao must have colluded with him beforehand!"
Several CEOs watched as the young tycoon known as "Little Ma" devoured the entire plate of tomatoes into his own bowls like hungry wolves, their faces filled with disbelief.
They're all shrewd people; what kind of situation haven't they seen?
In their eyes, such a low-level trick as performing a double act is simply not respectable enough to be considered respectable.
The coal mine owner let out a disdainful snort: "Hmph, your acting is too exaggerated. You deserve an Oscar."
However, at that moment, another middle-aged tycoon sitting next to Xiao Ma, who had made his fortune in the manufacturing industry, smelled a strange fruity aroma emanating from the plate of tomatoes because he was close by.
The fragrance was faint, yet it possessed a captivating allure, making his mouth water uncontrollably.
Seeing Xiao Ma's genuinely enthusiastic expression, he had a sudden thought and, thinking "it won't kill me to try a bite," he tentatively reached out with his chopsticks.
Instead of grabbing the tomato from Xiao Ma's bowl, he picked up the closest piece of cucumber with minced garlic.
Cucumber in the mouth.
"Snap!"
The same crisp sound, but this time, the manufacturing tycoon's reaction was even more exaggerated than Pony's!
He suddenly jumped up from his seat, his eyes wide open, bigger than a bull's eyes!
The cucumber in his mouth felt less like food and more like an energy bomb!
The ultimate refreshing sensation instantly rushes to the top of your head!
He felt that his sense of taste, which had become dulled and greasy from years of drinking at social events, was completely cleansed and purified at this moment!
Immediately afterwards, a surge of life force rose from my abdomen and flowed to my limbs and bones.
His stiff and sore lumbar spine, which had been stiff from sitting in the office for long periods of time, suddenly felt a tingling warmth. The lumbar muscle strain that had plagued him for years seemed to have been relieved at this moment!
"Oh My God……"
The manufacturing tycoon let out a dreamlike groan.
The next second, he went crazy too!
He grabbed the last plate of smashed cucumbers from the table and hugged it tightly to his chest like a stray dog guarding its food, looking at everyone at the table with wary eyes.
If someone is acting, then it's because they're crazy.
What about the other two?
The wealthy people present could no longer sit still.
For the first time, a solemn expression appeared on their faces.
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
There's definitely a shocking secret hidden in these rotten cucumbers and tomatoes that they don't know about!
In an instant, almost all the chopsticks were stretched out at the same time!
Recently, several wealthy individuals have managed to snatch up the "fish that slipped through the net" that Pony Ma and the manufacturing tycoon failed to protect.
"Snap!"
"hiss--"
"Um!"
For the next three minutes, the entire humble canteen descended into a bizarre frenzy.
No one spoke anymore.
All that remained was the incessant, tooth-grinding sound of frantic chewing.
And the clanging sound of chopsticks clattering violently as people scramble for the last scraps of food on the plate!
These business tycoons, who usually pontificate at various high-end summits, discussing projects worth tens or hundreds of billions of dollars, and eating abalone worth tens of thousands of dollars without batting an eye, were now completely utterly disgraced!
They looked like a group of refugees who hadn't eaten for centuries, their eyes bloodshot and their faces etched with the most primal craving for food.
"Mine! This one is mine!"
"Bullshit! I saw it first!"
"Hey Li! If you dare compete with me again, believe me, I'll short your stocks tomorrow!"
"You, surnamed Wang! How dare you! For the last piece of cucumber, you'd go to such lengths?!"
Two real estate tycoons, who are usually bitter rivals in the business world, have now completely broken off all pretense of civility.
Each of them gripped a chopstick, wielding them like swords clashing as they fought for the last lone piece of cucumber at the bottom of the plate.
Finally, the two simply threw down their chopsticks, rolled up the sleeves of their Hermès shirts, grabbed each other's ties, and were about to have a full-blown fight in the cafeteria!
The coal mine owner who initially shouted the loudest, saying this thing was for feeding pigs, has now completely abandoned all pretense of decency.
He didn't manage to get a cucumber or a tomato.
He looked at the two empty plates, his eyes darted around, and he suddenly snatched the chipped porcelain plate containing sugared tomatoes. He tilted his head back and gulped down the last bit of soup mixed with sugar water and tomato juice in one go!
After finishing his drink, he still lingered, sticking out his tongue and carefully licking the plate clean!
His serious expression made it seem as if he were appraising a rare treasure.
"belch--"
The coal mine owner let out a long, satisfied burp.
A warm current instantly spread throughout my body.
He felt that his liver, which had been overburdened by years of drinking and socializing, had become much lighter.
My whole body feels refreshed and comfortable!
Energy, more abundant than ever before!
At this moment, these old foxes who had been manipulating the business world for decades finally realized what was happening!
These are no ordinary vegetables!
This is clearly a miraculous elixir that can prolong life and cleanse the marrow!
It's an extremely rare and divine item that can buy your life!
That old rascal Su Tianhao wasn't bragging at all; in fact, he was being far too conservative!
The next second, all the wealthy people's eyes were suddenly focused on the young man who had been calm and collected from beginning to end, slowly sipping a cup of tea.
Jiang Chen!
Everyone knows that he is the one in charge here!
"Splash—"
A dozen or so top billionaires, whose combined net worth could shake the entire province's economy, stood up at the same time, like elementary school students seeing their homeroom teacher.
The arrogance and disdain on their faces were gone, replaced by incredibly fervent and obsequious smiles!
They swarmed over and surrounded Jiang Chen.
"President Jiang! Hello, President Jiang!"
The coal mine owner, who had just finished licking his plate, was the first to squeeze to the front. He grabbed Jiang Chen's hands tightly and shook them vigorously, his dark face beaming with a chrysanthemum-like smile.
"Oh, Mr. Jiang, you're so young and promising, a true dragon among men!"
"I was blind to your greatness just now! I was foul-mouthed! I deserve a beating!"
As he spoke, he actually raised his hand and gently patted his face twice.
"President Jiang! Please don't take offense! Just tell me, do you have any more tomatoes? How many do you have? I'll buy them all! Is one hundred million enough? If not, I'll add more! Name your price!"
The coal mine owner, patting his chest with an air of wealth and arrogance, roared.
"Bullshit!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the manufacturing tycoon next to him immediately became agitated.
"You, surnamed Hei, want to hog all the food? No way!"
He shoved the coal boss aside and squeezed in front of Jiang Chen, a smile that was almost ingratiating on his face.
"General Manager Jiang, don't listen to his nonsense. He's just a coal miner, utterly uncouth!"
"I genuinely want to do business with you! Our company is willing to pay 500 million yuan to buy the exclusive supply rights for this batch of miraculous vegetables for the next year!"
"Five hundred million? You're trying to fob me off! I'll offer a billion!"
"I'll offer two billion!"
The scene instantly spiraled out of control.
This group of wealthy people, like middle-aged women scrambling for cabbage at a market, were shouting and frantically raising prices, each afraid of falling behind.
Jiang Chen's ears were ringing from their noise.
He slowly put down his teacup, raised his hand, and pressed it down.
The noisy cafeteria instantly fell silent.
Everyone looked at him with burning anticipation.
Jiang Chen's gaze swept lightly across each person's face, and then he extended a finger.
"I don't sell this by weight."
His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
I sell them by the piece.
He paused, then casually uttered a sentence.
"Tomatoes, one hundred yuan each."
"Cucumbers, two hundred yuan each."
