Rong Shichu sold five breadfruits to the Ye family for a sky-high price. She looked at the string of zeros in her account with great satisfaction, and once again felt that the richest family was indeed generous.
I don't know what happened to her in this life, but she cares so much about money. Maybe she was stimulated by the original owner's love-mindedness of "not caring about money but values feelings" and the ending of her death in poverty, so she cares so much about money
But this is not a big deal. After all, she can earn money by herself. It is not the ill-gotten gains from sucking blood from others or cheating, so how can her love of money hinder others? She loves money, but she gets it in a proper way.
Rong Shichu convinced himself in an instant.
The Ye family had great feedback on the breadfruit, but there was no feedback from Ke Tingfan yet. Rong Shichu didn't care too much about it. If there was no feedback, then there was no feedback. She just knew that the improved and evolved version of the breadfruit she grew was delicious.
At this moment, Ke Tingfan was staring at the light yellow, round breadfruit in front of him with a thoughtful expression.
"Professor, why does your durian look different from ordinary durian? It's so small and flat. Is it a new variety? Is it delicious?" A researcher came over, looked at the breadfruit curiously, and asked.
Ke Tingfan stretched out his hand and pushed his big head away, saying in a deep voice: "This is not durian."
"It's not durian? What is it?" The researcher was puzzled. "What kind of fruit looks like this?"
Ke Tingfan did not answer. He didn't know what kind of fruit it was, whether it was edible, or whether it tasted good.
The breadfruit that Rong Shichu sent to Ke Tingfan did not come with instructions on how to eat and cook it, like the one he sent to the Ye family. After all, when Ke Tingfan saw the breadfruit tree at Rong's house, Rong Shichu said that she didn't know what kind of fruit it was. She was afraid that if she said too much, she would make mistakes and be exposed, so she simply didn't say anything and let Ke Tingfan study it himself.
So even though Ke Tingfan had a breadfruit, he didn't know what to do with it. But he was a senior researcher after all, so he processed the fruit according to the general process, measuring its size, weighing it, recording its appearance, and cutting off its tissue for examination...
After finishing these general tasks, Ke Tingfan cut the breadfruit.
A researcher came over excitedly with a document in his hand and said, "Professor! This fruit is edible! Take a look at its nutritional content. It contains several times more soothing substances than a durian of the same size! And no ingredients harmful to humans were found... Professor, this means that this fruit is a high-quality source of spiritual soothing."
After hearing this, Ke Tingfan was a little surprised. He took the information from the researcher and used his photographic memory to quickly read the component analysis of the fruit. He then made a plan in his mind.
"Professor, where did you get this fruit? Can you tell me? I want to buy one for my dad..." the researcher asked expectantly.
Ke Tingfan paused and said, "I got one by chance." He thought of Rong Shichu's dilapidated home and subconsciously concealed it for her.
The researcher was extremely disappointed after hearing this. Ke Tingfan ignored him and went into his office and contacted Rong Shichu.
Ke Tingfan, wearing a white coat, appeared in front of Rong Shichu with his tall and handsome figure. He was on a video call. Rong Shichu looked at the man in front of him. He looked even more abstinent and cold in his research coat. His cold white skin, his perfectly shaped thin red lips, and his straight nose all showed that this man had an extremely attractive appearance.
The holographic projection technology of the interstellar era is so powerful that even though the man in front of her is just a projection, he is almost exactly the same as the real person. So when Ke Tingfan's projection appeared in front of Rong Shichu, she was stunned for a moment.
"Ms. Rong, I want to ask you, do you know the specific details of the fruit you gave me?" Ke Tingfan looked at Rong Shichu closely with his narrow and beautiful eyes. Rong Shichu, who was obsessed with looks, almost got lost in his deep eyes and didn't hear his words clearly.
But she was able to concentrate enough to hear his words. She calmed herself down, resisted the charm that this man unintentionally exuded, and replied, "I probably have some understanding."
"Then Miss Rong, can you tell me about it?" Ke Tingfan asked politely.
Rong Shichu no longer needed to maintain the illusion that he knew nothing about breadfruit, so he replied, "Of course, this fruit can be eaten. It doesn't taste very good when eaten raw, but when it's roasted, it tastes like chestnuts and bread. It has a lot of starch and is easy to fill you up, so I call it breadfruit."
"Of course, you can cook it or steam it. It has the aroma of passion fruit and mango. It's delicious. You can try it."
Rong Shichu suggested with a smile that as long as he tried it, he might be able to renew his order for breadfruit.
Ke Tingfan didn't expect that Rong Shichu's answer was so specific. With her cooperation, Ke Tingfan's expression softened a lot. He felt that this woman who loved money like her life had some good points.
So he said gently: "Thank you Miss Rong for telling me these information. I wonder if Miss Rong can give me a few more of this breadfruit? I want to study it more carefully. Breadfruit may be very useful for my current project research."
Rong Shichu's eyes lit up immediately, and he smiled: "Of course! It's great that breadfruit can be useful for your research career. Of course, I am willing to contribute a little bit to it."
Seeing her greed for money but trying to cover it up with a big banner, Ke Tingfan couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly, and suddenly said: "Since Miss Rong is willing to help me with my research, why don't you lower the price of breadfruit a little?"
When Rong Shichu heard his words, the bright smile on her face almost couldn't be maintained. She was about to grit her teeth to refuse, but she saw Ke Tingfan looking at her with a smile on his face. His bright eyes seemed to be full of affection. It was obviously just an ordinary smile, but it seemed as if he was looking at you affectionately and tenderly.
Who can resist such a charming look? Rong Shichu was instantly captured by the man's beauty and nodded unconsciously: "Then, then give me a 20% discount?"
"Okay, I'll give you 20% off. It's a deal. Thank you Miss Rong for your generosity." Ke Tingfan's smile grew even wider. Seeing that this money-hungry woman in front of him was bewitched by him and actually gave in on the money, he felt a great sense of accomplishment and was in an exceptionally good mood.
It was obvious that he was not unable to afford the breadfruit, but he felt happy that he had taken advantage of the money-loving Rong Shichu.
Rong Shichu felt a little sad at first because of the 20% discount, but when she saw Ke Tingfan, this excellent man, smiling at her, she felt it was worth it.
At this time, she finally understood the feelings of the ancient tyrant who lit beacons to trick the princes in order to win the smile of a beautiful woman when he faced a beautiful woman. It is true that it is easy to lose one's mind when seeing beauty and lust. The ancients were right.
A tyrant king could lose his kingdom for a beauty. I just gave a 20% discount on the price for the beauty. It's not a loss at all.
Rong Shichu comforted himself.
