Lin Yi, who was in the room, was a little surprised. He didn't think that Cai Zhongyang would be dragged into this. Furthermore, he didn't say that he had the Yang Pole Grass right away, so there must be a reason why he didn't help Shang Wanyi. Because of this, Lin Yi had a strange feeling in his heart.
On the deck, facing Shang Yuhua's eager eyes, Cai Zhongyang could only smile bitterly and say, "Miss Shang, I do have a Yang Pole Grass. It's not that I don't want to sell it to you, but this Yang Pole Grass is reserved by someone else. It's not for auction. If I give it to you, you know what the consequences will be."
Shang Yuhua's face paled. She also ran a Chamber of Commerce, so of course she knew the consequences of reselling a customer's reserved item. No matter how high the price, there was no way to make up for the loss of reputation!
To put it bluntly, Cai Zhongyang suspected that the Universal Chamber of Commerce was deliberately using this method to ruin the reputation of the Five Elements Commerce. But asking him to take out the Yang Pole Grass was indeed a bit too much.
"Chairman Cai, I know this will make things difficult for you, but as you can see, my father's life is in danger. He's just waiting for the Yang Pole Grass to save his life. The Universal Chamber of Commerce will bear all the consequences of this. When we reach the Far North Island, whether it's the compensation or the explanation to the customer, I'll take care of it! Also, the price of the Yang Pole Grass will be decided by you, Chairman Cai. I only ask that you save my father's life! "At the end of her sentence, Yuhua's eyes were filled with tears!
Cai Zhongyang was in a very difficult position. If Zheng Dongsheng hadn't pointed out that he had the Yang Pole Grass, then perhaps he would have agreed to Shang Yuhua's request. However, because of Zheng Dongsheng's malicious gaze, Cai Zhongyang couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Cai Zhongyang really couldn't bring himself to cut off Shang Yuhua. Although he was a businessman, he was also a soft-hearted person.
"Haha, Vice Chairman Cai, you really have a cold heart. That little girl is already begging you, and yet you still won't budge. Are you afraid that the price is too low? You want her to give you the price herself? " Zheng Dongsheng made sarcastic remarks on the side, which made Cai Zhongyang more certain that there must be a problem, but he didn't know where the problem was.
Hou Guanqi sighed in his heart, but he didn't know what to say. He wanted to save Shang Wanyi, but he knew that Cai Zhongyang was in a difficult position. If he tried to persuade Cai Zhongyang, he would definitely listen to him. But that wasn't the result he wanted.
After being reminded, Yuhua immediately said, "Chairman Cai, I am willing to pay five hundred thousand spirit jades for the Yang Pole Grass. I will also take care of all the aftermath. At the same time, the Universal Chamber of Commerce still owes you a favor!"
The surrounding crowd couldn't help but gasp. Five hundred thousand spirit jades was definitely a large sum. Although not many people knew about the Yin Yang Pill, there were still those who had heard of it. They had already spread the news to those who didn't know about it.
This type of pill was more troublesome to refine, but it was still a Yellow level seven pill. Normally, it would sell for seventy to eighty thousand spirit jades at most, and that was if it was a completed pill. Yang Pole Grass was one of the main ingredients of the Yin Yang Pill, so its value could not be compared to a completed pill.
Although the Yang Pole Grass was an extremely rare spirit herb, its normal selling price was at most ten thousand spirit jades. In a normal auction, it would be considered a sky-high price if it was sold for twenty to thirty thousand spirit jades. Yet, Shang Yuhua had asked for five hundred thousand spirit jades and even promised to take care of all the loose ends. Furthermore, she had even done Cai Zhongyang a favor. The surrounding crowd even had the thought of killing Cai Zhongyang and robbing him!
"Miss Shang, you know that this isn't a matter of the amount of spirit jades." Cai Zhongyang smiled bitterly as he shook his head. Before he figured out Zheng Dongsheng's intentions, he wouldn't dare agree to Yuhua's request.
"Miss Shang, he thinks that your price is too low!" Zheng Dongsheng said in a neutral tone, but deep down, he was feeling great. If he could deal with someone close to Lin Yi, no matter who it was, he would be very happy.
Wei Shenjin didn't wait for Yuhua to raise the price again. He stood in front of her and said to Cai Zhongyang, "Chairman Cai, I really need your help this time. There won't be only one Yang Pole Grass. When we pass by the northern island, we can go up there and search. Maybe we can find another Yang Pole Grass for you to bring to the client. But Chairman Shang can't wait until we reach the northern island. A human life is at stake, so I hope Chairman Cai can consider it."
Cai Zhongyang looked at Wei Shenjin with slight surprise. He didn't have to give face to Yuhua Shang, but Wei Shenjin was Lin Yi's little brother. No matter what, he couldn't refuse Lin Yi. Not to mention that Lin Yi had just given him two Spirit Tempering Pills, their previous friendship was not something that could be measured by a mere Yang Pole Grass.
Shang Yuhua looked at Wei Shenjin in surprise. Today, Wei Shenjin seemed to be completely different from before. He was calm, decisive, and considerate. Well, that wasn't important. What was important was that Shang Yuhua suddenly remembered that Lin Yi was Wei Shenjin's boss, and that Cai Zhongyang and Lin Yi were good friends. Maybe Wei Shenjin's words could really make Cai Zhongyang change his mind?
Shang Yuhua, who had been slowly losing hope, suddenly had hope again. However, Wei Shenjin suddenly said, "Chairman Cai, this is my own request. It has nothing to do with Boss Lin Yi. Although I really hope that you can agree to sell the Yang Pole Grass, I don't want it to be because of Boss."
Shang Yuhua didn't know how to describe her feelings. Was she calling Wei Shenjin an idiot? With Lin Yi's face, he actually didn't want it! Moreover, he didn't even need to say anything. Cai Zhongyang would have considered it himself, but he just had to open his mouth and make such a statement!
But it was precisely this kind of Wei Shenjin that made Shang Yuhua feel that he was very responsible. A responsible man would not be bad no matter what! The problem was that if Cai Zhongyang refused to sell the Yang Pole Grass because of this, Shang Yuhua wasn't sure if she would hate Wei Shenjin.
Maybe she would, maybe she wouldn't. Fortunately, Shang Yuhua didn't need to think about the answer to this question, because Cai Zhongyang had nodded!
"Little Wei, you underestimate yourself too much. Even if I don't give Brother Lin face, do you think I'll ignore you? We've interacted a lot these past two years. Don't tell me you don't see me as your friend? You're actually calling me Chairman Cai? " Cai Zhongyang stared hard at Wei Shenjin, then took out a small, thin, and flat jade box and handed it to Wei Shenjin.
"This is my Yang Pole Grass. I'm giving it to you. Take it. Don't mention the spiritual jade. It'd be best if the north island has it, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't. I can handle this myself. You don't need to interfere." Since Cai Zhongyang had made up his mind, he cast aside all his worries and spoke casually to Wei Shenjin and Shang Yuhua. (To be continued.)
