Elf, I am really a farmer

At dawn, before the first ray of sunlight completely dispelled the veil of night, Zhou Zhen climbed out of the bed where he had tossed and turned all night.

His eyes were bloodshot and his dark circles were as thick as panda eyes. When he looked in the mirror, he looked so tired and haggard.

Last night, his mind was full of the transaction with Wen Qi. He tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He only slept for a short while.

After a simple wash, Zhou Zhen looked at the breakfast, but he had no appetite at all. He just mechanically took a few sips of coffee to refresh himself.

After that, he rushed to Wenqi's farm early.

This time Wen Qi did not come out to greet them. Instead, he asked Almost Baby to take him into the farm and sit down at the place where he had stayed yesterday.

While waiting for Wen Qi to arrive, Zhou Zhen couldn't sit still and kept pacing back and forth in the room.

He clenched his hands tightly, then unclenched them, and looked at the time from time to time. With every second that passed, he became more and more anxious.

His footsteps echoed "dong dong" in the silent space, his breathing became rapid, and fine beads of sweat continued to seep out of his forehead, mixed with the slightly sour smell emanating from his body due to nervousness.

Finally, Wen Qi appeared with steady steps.

His face was as calm as a lake, without any ripples, his eyes were deep and unfathomable, and his whole body exuded a calm aura.

Zhou Zhen saw it, and hurried forward, his lips trembling slightly. He had a lot of things to ask, but he didn't know where to start, and only made a slight "gurgling" sound in his throat.

After the two sat down face to face, the tea on the table was steaming and the tea fragrance slowly diffused in the heavy air.

Zhou Zhen's fingers unconsciously rubbed the edge of the teacup, making a slight "rustling" sound. His eyes were fixed on Wen Qi, his eyes full of tension and anticipation, as if he was waiting for some important verdict.

Wen Qi slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip, his movements graceful and calm.

He raised his eyes to look at Zhou Zhen, only to see that Zhou Zhen was sitting very stiffly, his body leaning forward, staring at him without blinking, he looked like he was waiting for the judgment of fate.

Wen Qi frowned slightly when he saw this, thinking to himself:

"This kid is so nervous, it seems that he takes this deal very seriously. He must not have slept well last night."

After a moment of silence, Wen Qi gently put down the teacup with a slight "clang" sound, then cleared his throat and said in a low and calm voice:

"Boss Zhou, I went back and thought about what you said yesterday. I do have life energy cubes here and I can sell them to you."

He spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant tone, and looked directly at Zhou Zhen with firm eyes.

When Zhou Zhen heard this, his body shook violently, his eyes widened instantly, his face was full of disbelief, and his mouth was slightly open. It took him a long time to come back to his senses.

With a trembling voice and a hint of surprise, he shouted:

"Boss Wen, are you...are you really willing to sell it to me? That's great!"

As he spoke, the tense expression on his face suddenly relaxed a little, revealing uncontrollable joy.

Wen Qi just nodded slightly, his eyes still as calm as water, but his mind was full of thoughts.

He thought: "Although I am not willing to make a deal with this group of people, this is the only way under the current situation.

They are like hyenas, very difficult to deal with. If I refuse, I will definitely be in trouble in the future.

As long as I take the initiative in this transaction, I won't suffer any loss and I can keep them stable for the time being."

He crossed his arms over his chest, his expression serious, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and determination.

Wen Qi sighed softly, and the sigh was particularly clear in the silent room.

He looked at Zhou Zhen and said slowly:

"Boss Zhou, I only care about profits when doing business.

Let’s not talk about the past grudges for now. As long as this transaction satisfies both of us, that’s enough.”

Although his voice was calm, it carried an unquestionable majesty.

When Zhou Zhen heard this, he rubbed his hands excitedly, with a flattering smile on his face, and said:

"Boss Wen, don't worry, we can definitely negotiate the price. As long as you name a price, we will never bargain!"

His eyes were full of anxiety, for he was afraid that Wen Qi would suddenly change his mind.

Wen Qi shook his head slightly and said in a cold tone:

"The price will be discussed later.

I have to be frank with you, this deal must be done according to my rules. If anything goes wrong, this deal will be ruined."

As he spoke, his eyes became sharp and he stared at Zhou Zhen closely. He seemed to exude an aura that no one dared to disobey.

Zhou Zhen nodded quickly, sat up straight, like an obedient elementary school student, and said loudly:

"Of course, Boss Wen, whatever you say is what we will do. We will definitely cooperate with you fully!"

His voice was loud and firm, clearly indicating his intention to show Wen Qi his sincerity.

Wen Qi leaned back in his chair, narrowed his eyes slightly, and fell into deep thought.

He was silently calculating the details of the transaction in his mind, wondering how he could get the most benefit during the transaction while also getting some information about the forces behind Zhou Zhen.

As for Zhou Zhen, he just sat quietly opposite, not daring to make a sound. He only occasionally glanced up at Wen Qi's expression, waiting for his further instructions.

After a while, Wen Qi coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and slowly said: "First of all, I will determine the quality and quantity of the goods based on the price.

The price must be reasonable and fair, and I don’t want any disputes to arise.”

His voice was clear and powerful, echoing in the silent space.

Zhou Zhen listened attentively on the other side, nodded from time to time, and said, "Don't worry, Boss Wen, we will definitely give you a reasonable price and will never let you suffer a loss."

The expression on his face was serious and earnest, and there was still a hint of anxiety in his eyes, as if he was afraid that Wen Qi would change his mind.

Wen Qi frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then continued, "Also, the time and place of the transaction must be carefully arranged.

I hope everything can be done in a safe and convenient environment.”

When he said this, there was an obvious hint of vigilance in his eyes. After all, when dealing with the forces behind Zhou Zhen, one has to be careful and cautious.

Zhou Zhen quickly responded: "Boss Wen, you have really thought it through. We will definitely cooperate with you and find a place and time that both parties are satisfied with."

His tone was sincere and his attitude was humble, which was in stark contrast to his previous nervousness.

As the conversation between the two deepened, the atmosphere in the room gradually became a little more relaxed from the initial solemnity, but there was still a subtle sense of tension.

Wen Qi remained alert at all times, while Zhou Zhen, on the other hand, was happily yet cautiously pushing forward this transaction that was of vital importance to him.
