The man worth over a hundred million smiled, a wicked expression appearing on his face. Ye Tiancheng had no intention of paying attention to this guy, seeing him as nothing more than an idiot. In Ye Tiancheng's mind, why would he bother with someone like that? He completely dismissed him as an idiot.
"This is unbelievable!" His heart was about to collapse. Ye Tiancheng actually looked down on him.
"Stay calm!" Ye Tiancheng saw the man worth over a hundred million roaring. As for himself, he was naturally clear-headed and didn't want to argue with this man, so he said this.
Seeing Ye Tiancheng say this, the man immediately wanted to know what he was thinking.
Ye Tiancheng quickly asked the man worth over a hundred million, "Do you think I'm very rich?" "Isn't that obvious?" the man worth over a hundred million replied with a sneer. "Do you think I'm like you, not having much money?" This man meant that he saw Ye Tiancheng's clothes, which together were only worth a hundred yuan, and looked like they were bought from a roadside stall.
Indeed, that was correct. Ye Tiancheng's clothes were bought from a roadside stall, and they were indeed those cheap goods.
The reality before Ye Tiancheng was that if he didn't make this guy understand his strength, the other party would absolutely not acknowledge anything about him. Only by making him clearly understand his strength would he shut up. It was that simple, and there was no need to say anything more. This person was so realistic, so convinced that this was the truth of everything in the world.
Seeing him like this, Ye Tiancheng didn't know what else to say. The truth of the situation had begun to unfold infinitely, as certain things had already become this way at certain times.
Only by having real strength could those arrogant people understand and submit at their feet. It was that simple, not complicated at all. The most complicated thing in this world was the human heart.
"Then show me your skills and make me completely convinced!" the man said with an evil smile, his expression utterly disgusting.
In reality, Ye Tiancheng was under immense pressure. If he had money, he wouldn't be struggling so hard here, trying to display his strength and weaknesses. That's why he was acting this way, appearing so helpless and powerless. It was entirely due to a lack of money.
Therefore, asking him to produce so much money was impossible...
The situation devolved into Ye Tiancheng being misunderstood. Just then, a "ding ding" mobile phone ringtone suddenly sounded. This was Ye Tiancheng's ringtone; it would automatically play upon receiving a text message.
"XXX Bank account, you have received a transfer of one hundred million yuan. Your current balance is one hundred million and five hundred thousand."
"Wow!" The voice from this text message instantly stumped the man worth over a hundred million. He immediately rubbed his eyes and asked, "Young man, is what you're saying true?"
"Of course it's true, hehe!" Ye Tiancheng knew everything. This was naturally Su Muxian's help. She didn't want him to be embarrassed and sent him a hundred million at this moment to help him save face.
He really should thank this woman who loved to help!
Su Muxian was following Ye Tiancheng. Upon learning that this guy was in a competition, she couldn't bear to not help Ye Tiancheng. It seemed this woman really cared about Ye Tiancheng.
By helping Ye Tiancheng, she had pushed him into a prominent position, instantly piquing the interest of the elder. He had to admire Ye Tiancheng's connections in his heart.
Once Ye Tiancheng entered his "cheat mode," it was as if no one could resist him. He was simply a heaven-sent prodigy.
"It seems you really are rich, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. I admit defeat! Goodbye..." The man worth over a hundred million hadn't expected this guy to have money. Then why was he coming to them for financing? Wasn't he just making fun of them?
Seeing the man worth over a hundred million leave, the remaining two didn't show any intention of leaving.
"My name is Li Le, and I'm happy to meet Mr. Ye."
"Don't you think I'm looking for fun?" Ye Tiancheng asked.
Li Le said, "I don't think so. I think that guy deserved it." Li Le said. Ye Tiancheng didn't understand what he meant.
"It's actually very simple. Don't you want to teach that person a lesson?"
"Naturally." Ye Tiancheng hadn't expected him to understand so well, so he truly admired this person in his heart.
He had to admit that his heart was truly chaotic. Facing this person, his heart was truly a bit fragile, and he had to worry about being looked down upon by others because he didn't have money.
But looking at the wine in the cup, every cup is first offered to the rich.
Clothes are a person's face, and money is a person's courage. Without money, you have nothing. With money, you can do anything. Although this sounds vulgar, it concerns one's livelihood and future survival in society.
Having money means one can live well and survive well. Ye Tiancheng had already begun his journey according to his own will.
"So, I just need to cooperate with you few. I really have nothing to hesitate about. Although I have money, this money is not mine. It was sent to me by a friend who wanted me to publicly humiliate this guy worth over a hundred million. In fact, that five million yuan isn't mine either. Right now, I'm practically penniless." Ye Tiancheng laid everything bare. He didn't want to hide anything, so he directly told them everything. Upon hearing this, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"I didn't expect you to be so fearless, actually revealing your background. Aren't you worried that by revealing this, we'll look down on you even more?" Li Le said with a smile.
Ye Tiancheng looked at him calmly: "Actually, I am afraid that after seeing my true self, you won't cooperate with me."
Li Le naturally understood what Ye Tiancheng was thinking. He couldn't help but laugh because he felt that cooperating with this guy would be very enjoyable. Without saying anything further, he walked forward, picked up a chestnut cake, and chewed it. The chestnut cake was sweet and soft, like a dream. He then said to Ye Tiancheng very happily, "I think this thing is very delicious. I am also very willing to cooperate with you. I'll invest one million yuan to help you set up several storefronts. Each storefront should cost around 200,000 yuan, so four storefronts are very feasible. The remaining 100,000 yuan will be for hiring employees. Within a month, you'll be able to revitalize it, and within two months, you'll have recouped half the money. Within three months, you'll have broken even."
"I didn't expect you to be so straightforward. But I think the silent one next to you probably has other plans?" The one who had been silent all along smiled and said, "I naturally want to do the market goods that can be sold at a higher price, not to make cake shops."
This made Li Le, who had assumed they would open cake shops, unhappy. Wasn't this stealing his business? If they made cooked food to sell in the market, what would the cake shops do? They would be unable to continue.
Because in her heart, this action, or rather this thing that made her incredibly happy, had room for negotiation. But in their view, such a cooperation project was truly a "chicken rib" (something that has little value but is a shame to discard).
Why say this? Unexpectedly, they could explain everything clearly due to mutual benefit. This kind of thing could allow people to abandon all prejudices and misunderstandings. This was something Ye Tiancheng greatly pursued. Therefore, they reached a consensus tacitly and easily. Thus, he greatly liked what the latter said. If it were made into an industrial chain, it would be like waiting to collect money.
Thinking of this, Ye Tiancheng's heart was overjoyed.
If such good things happened, it was simply too good to be true. No one knew better than him what such benefits meant. Seeing that they had almost finished their discussion, the old man said to them, "I see you've all talked enough. Can we sign the contract? As long as the contract is signed, it's done." The old man looked at Ye Tiancheng with great admiration. The suggestion from the person speaking afterward was equivalent to waiting to collect money. Who wouldn't want such a good thing? But in Ye Tiancheng's eyes, there were no such good things waiting for him.
He felt that what was being said was too good to be true, and it was clearly a conspiracy. So he changed his mind and said to Li Le, "I still choose to cooperate with you. I think you are a very reliable person."
The latter man hadn't expected Ye Tiancheng to choose Li Le. He looked at Ye Tiancheng with surprise and asked, "I wonder why my proposal didn't move you?"
"Because you said too many good things, which made me suspicious. So I'm very sorry, I refuse your proposal. Too many good things often represent a conspiracy or a pie in the sky. Anyone who hears your proposal would definitely choose to cooperate with you, but I think too many good things often represent something too bad."
"I didn't expect you to be so shrewd, seeing through it at a glance. I have to admit you're very capable." The man smiled, revealing a terrifying look that made him feel a chill down his spine.
He never expected this person to only show malevolent intentions. This made Li Le feel immensely different and fearful.
"He is a liar who is accustomed to doing such bad things. He came here just to deceive, not to do any business. If you don't believe me, we can wait and see." Ye Tiancheng's words immediately exposed this guy's true colors.
"Kid, killing is not about decapitation. Since you've seen through me, at least give me some face. Don't you know us? The Mountain Snake Organization?" The man revealed a murderous look.
"We've crossed paths... and you're the assassin hired by that woman Hou Mingzhu, right? Hahahaha." Ye Tiancheng smiled unfazed because he had seen through it long ago, so he was not afraid at all. What could make Ye Tiancheng feel afraid? Unless the sky collapsed, because the sky collapsing would mean no one in this world could escape, and everyone would die. That would be despair. How could a mere Mountain Snake Organization make Ye Tiancheng feel afraid?
This guy didn't expect Ye Tiancheng to not care about the Mountain Snake Organization at all, which made him extremely angry. So he flicked his sleeves and left. Before leaving, he didn't forget to curse Ye Tiancheng, "Stinky brat, you wait for me. One day I'll let you know how powerful we are."
"I've known you were powerful for a long time, so you can tuck your tail and leave." Ye Tiancheng didn't care about his threat at all and gave him a big eye-roll.
How could the dignified Mountain Snake Organization be looked down upon?
This time he came on the orders of his boss, but he unexpectedly failed, so he felt very disappointed and angry. Therefore, his mood was depressed. What was the use of a depressed mood? The key was that he couldn't prevent this from happening. Therefore, in the face of absolute strength, any threat was like a mirage. Someone with absolute strength could solve everything. Like Ye Tiancheng, he wouldn't be afraid of any danger or pressure, even though he had already crossed paths with them and they considered each other enemies.
"I haven't heard of this organization, but from its name, I can tell it's very ferocious. Is it alright that you've offended such people?" the old man asked with great concern.
"Of course, it's alright. For me, these problems are nothing. I've long been accustomed to such threats, so why would I be afraid of others threatening me?" Ye Tiancheng certainly wasn't afraid of others' threats. For him, he had already experienced such threats. If it were three years ago, any threat would have terrified him to death. But now, he was completely reborn. Therefore, even when facing such threats, Ye Tiancheng didn't take them seriously.
"These threats are nothing to me, Ye Tiancheng, because I've long been accustomed to such threats. In fact, I've already crossed paths with their people." Ye Tiancheng said to Li Le and the old man.
Li Le didn't seem to mind. He smiled slightly, walked over, patted Ye Tiancheng on the shoulder, and said, "If they really dare to mess around, they'll have no return. Now that we're cracking down on evil, for clowns like them to dare to be arrogant is simply seeking their own destruction. So, brother, as long as you live honestly, why bother with these insignificant pests?"
"En."
Ye Tiancheng felt that these things could be ignored for the time being. If those guys really wanted to make trouble for him, they would die as many as they came. "This guy's mind is already made up. Even if he encounters more danger, he won't care. You can tell from his determined look. The old man suddenly fell ill in the vegetable market earlier, and this divine doctor cured him in just a few moves."
The old man did not forget to introduce Li Le, who nodded in response after hearing the old man's words, then looked at Ye Tiancheng with mixed emotions in his eyes. Perhaps he didn't know that besides art and martial arts, Ye Tiancheng had many other skills, and even his cooking was excellent. Of course, he wouldn't easily show these things to others. For him, it was better to be low-key in life and high-profile in action. As for what others thought or what the consequences would be, he didn't think about it much. Because thinking too much about some things would create a great burden. For Ye Tiancheng, the only thing was to seize the time to get rich quickly, find a good woman to marry, and then build a villa on a beautiful and fertile coastline. That would be a perfect life.
However, he didn't want this. If he couldn't achieve the magnificent path of immortality, he wouldn't be willing, because the Divine Stone wanted to walk the path of a divine being.
The path of immortality was naturally very difficult. Generally, one wrong step could lead to eternal damnation. But for Ye Tiancheng, there was nothing that could lead to eternal damnation. Only when he was willing to reach that step would his determination be revealed. How he would walk in the future was already planned, and it would not change due to others' will or intentions. Although the Divine Stone and the Great Green Snake were there to assist Ye Tiancheng, advancing rapidly in a short period of time and ultimately reaching the peak of martial arts to achieve divinity...
However, they seemed to feel they had chosen the wrong person because Ye Tiancheng was actually a very worldly person. The meaning of his life was to make money and enjoy life, unlike the two of them who were striving for the ultimate path of immortality.
"I didn't expect this guy to go back to his old ways. I really don't know if I chose correctly or not. I always feel like he's a bit of a scam." The Divine Stone complained to the Great Green Snake in the sea of consciousness about Ye Tiancheng.
"No matter what he thinks now, as long as he can change in the future, it's okay. Everyone has their own thoughts and decisions. Don't force things because of this." The Great Green Snake advised the Divine Stone.
"That's what you say, but I feel like I'm sitting on pins and needles."
"That's not a problem. There are many things that can only be understood and known by experiencing them, and then adjusting the future path. There's no way to plan for the future now. Everyone's future is full of uncertainty. No one can predict this uncertainty. Changes happen very rapidly." The Great Green Snake felt that future matters should be discussed later. Talking too much now was useless because everything encountered in the future would change, and this change would make one feel that their previous plans were truly laughable.
Because they were so laughable in the past, they had to seize the time and plan everything.
"Then we can cooperate with each other. I am very happy to cooperate with someone like you. I think you are very interesting." Li Le looked at Ye Tiancheng's expression, not knowing what kind of posture he was displaying, which made him feel that Ye Tiancheng was not a simple person. Of course, Li Le was not a simple person either. His background and origins were unknown to most people. His surface appearance and the public information he left to the world was that of a general manager of an investment company.
His participation in this agricultural conference was to scout for special products that could last forever, meaning they would remain strong even after a hundred years.
Finding such agricultural products was not easy, because truly good products were always in short supply, and everyone would rush to buy them. Therefore, such products didn't need much advertising. A little advertisement would be enough to attract a crowd.
