Suppressing the Protagonist in the Start to Seize the Heroine

After getting the information he wanted, Su Lin arranged for Li Hongyang to collect the goods.

“Brother Yang, I'll give you a purchase price of 50 yuan per kilogram. If you negotiate, you should be able to press it down a bit, and the money you save will be yours.”

Li Hongyang quickly waved his hand. “No, no, Young Master Su, although I'm here to help, my position is still in the company. If the boss knows that I'm eating from both sides, I'll be fired.”

Su Lin smiled, “Don't worry, you don't have to be concerned about my dad. I'll talk to him. If we manage to collect gastrodia from Zhongjiang and the surrounding counties, we should have about 20 tons, roughly 40,000 kilograms. Brother Yang, are you sure you don’t want this hard-earned fee?”

“Hiss~!” Li Hongyang hadn't calculated it before, thinking that collecting a few hundred kilograms for Su Lin would be a big deal. However, when Su Lin mentioned 40,000 kilograms, Li Hongyang realized he was tempted.

Just a trip to the countryside, and in two or three days, he could make 40,000 yuan if the price dropped by one yuan per kilogram.

“This is just a conservative estimate. Zhongjiang's gastrodia has a great harvest this year. Plus, those farmers used to store them at home. Brother Yang, if you don't want it, I'll let someone else do it.”

“I want it! Why wouldn't I? Su Shao, rest assured, this trip, I will dig up everything about their households for you.” Li Hongyang pushed his glasses and said seriously.

Su Lin nodded; this was exactly the effect he wanted. By giving Li Hongyang the opportunity to take a share, Su Lin made it clear what he meant. Dealing with smart people was advantageous; a little hint was all it took.

“Alright, Brother Yang, I won't keep you any longer. Go and arrange it now. Time is of the essence.”

Li Hongyang nodded. He didn't want to linger in Zhongjiang now. Pressing down the price by one yuan per kilogram would result in an income of 40,000 yuan. That was a lot of money.

Su Lin gave Li Hongyang two million yuan. He wanted to give more, but Zhongjiang was only that big, and the production of gastrodia was limited. No matter how much money he had, it wouldn't be useful if people didn't have anything to sell.

As for whether the gastrodia could be sold or not, Su Lin wasn't worried at all. The wholesale market was called the wholesale market because it traded by the tone.

In the end, Ye Feng brought more than 50 kilograms and was snatched away on the spot. It could be seen that there was a shortage of goods at this time.

In the blink of an eye, Monday arrived.

Su Lin came to school as usual. Not long after he sat down, Xia Shiyu came along with Lin Xiaowan. Lin Xiaowan looked at Su Lin with a strange expression, while Xia Shiyu was happy.

Xia Shiyu also had a lunch box in her hand. She walked straight to Su Lin and said, “You didn't tell me what you liked to eat yesterday, so I just made something for breakfast.”

Lin Xiaowan looked at Su Lin and said, “Su Lin, your life is getting more and more comfortable. I heard from Xiaoyu that she will take care of your breakfast for the next three months.”

Su Lin smiled and nodded. “Yes, I'm now Xiaoyu's big creditor. Of course, she has to be responsible for pleasing me.”

“Won't your father scold you for borrowing so much money?” Lin Xiaowan asked worriedly.

Su Lin chuckled. “Xiaowan, I'm lending my own money to Xiaoyu. What can my dad say?”

“Your own money?”

“Yes, who said only my dad is allowed to make money and not me?” Su Lin looked at Lin Xiaowan with some interest.

Lin Xiaowan finally reacted. She looked at Su Lin with surprise. “I didn't expect you to be able to make money in your third year of high school.”

“There are many things you didn't expect. How much do you know about me?” Su Lin raised an eyebrow.

Lin Xiaowan was silent. She realized that she didn't know much about Su Lin. She used to think that Su Lin was just hiding his nature. Now, it seemed that not only did he hide his nature, but he also hide his talent.

Su Lin saw that Lin Xiaowan didn't speak and used detection on her.

[Lin Xiaowan: 17 years old, 168 cm, 48 kg. Current favorability (60 ↑ rising).].

Huh? She already liked him slightly, and it could rise at any time. Su Lin was a little surprised. One had to know that in the entire novel, Lin Xiaowan was the most difficult female lead to conquer.

She seemed easy-going, but she was actually very proud. Even the most outstanding people were difficult to impress. He didn't expect her favorability to rise so high in just a few days.

Su Lin didn't know how much of an impact his combination of punches had on a girl's worldview. Especially the way he endured the humiliation and laughed at other people's comments. His nonchalant approach made Lin Xiaowan raise her eyebrows.

Plus, Xia Shiyu always praised Su Lin, which made Lin Xiaowan almost sick of hearing it. Naturally, her favorability towards him increased.

“Xiaowan, have you eaten breakfast? Do you want to eat together?”

Lin Xiaowan shook her head. “I've already eaten. I won't eat your breakfast, in case you don't have enough.”

“Tsk... Okay then, I'll eat it myself. Don't drool.”

Su Lin opened the insulated box. As soon as he opened it, Lin Xiaowan’s eyes fell on Su Lin’s lunch box. Xia Shiyu’s hands were very skillful. She carefully arranged all the fruits and vegetables. Cute bears, flower platters, and so on. They all looked very nice.

The lunch box had three layers. The first layer was cold food, the second layer was hot food, and the third layer was rice. Lin Xiaowan admitted that when she saw this breakfast, she felt that she could eat more.

Su Lin looked at the carefully arranged plate and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Xiao Yu, why did you arrange it so nicely? I’m too embarrassed to eat it.”

“Hehe, I just arranged it casually. Su Lin, hurry up and eat before self-study starts.”

“Okay, then I won’t hold back.”

Although the three of them came early, the way they talked as if no one else was around made the other students jealous.

Especially when they saw that Xia Shiyu brought breakfast for Su Lin, some boys who liked Xia Shiyu wanted to kill Su Lin and sit in his seat.

“Mmm~! It tastes great.”

“Xiaoyu, your cooking skills are so good; you could open a restaurant, and it would definitely be popular,” Su Lin praised with a thumbs up.

Lin Xiaowan rolled her eyes, “Su Lin, what are you saying? Those chefs in restaurants are all fat and big-headed. Xiaoyu won’t be like them.”

“Uh… I was just making an analogy.”

“You can’t even make analogies. At least use a better comparison.”

“Alright, you win.”
