Chapter 524: Threatening young master Zhou
Translator: Lonelytree
Lin yuelan’s straightforwardness and County Magistrate Zhou’s straightforwardness could be considered a clash. It would depend on whose aura was stronger.
Lin yuelan was still calm and composed.
She held a cup of tea. The water in the cup instantly rippled, rising and falling.
After a few sips of tea, she put the teacup back on the table.
From the beginning to the end, she ignored the burning gazes of the other three people.
After that, she asked in a seemingly nonchalant and serious tone, “Then, County Magistrate Zhou, if you want the farming method, it’s fine. But I wonder what conditions and benefits you can offer? ”
She was asking for benefits so directly, which made County Magistrate Zhou apprehensive again.
He had never expected that a twelve-year-old child would ask for conditions and benefits.
Wasn’t a farmer’s daughter like her, who had never met anyone before and had no background or identity, supposed to take the initiative to offer this thing in order to ensure her safety?
But she …
County Magistrate Zhou didn’t know if Lin yuelan was a bold and fearless person, or if she was really naive.
After thinking for a while, County Magistrate Zhou threw the question back and asked directly, “Then tell me, what conditions and benefits do you want me to give you for you to be willing to hand over this method of farming? ”
Lin yuelan shook her head and said calmly, ” County Magistrate Zhou, I’m sorry. It’s not that I don’t want to pass this method on to you, but I have given it to someone else. So, if you want to use this thing to pave the way for you to get that person’s commendation and get promoted and rich, I advise you to give up on this plan!”
Lin yuelan’s words left the father and son of the Zhou family completely dumbfounded.
Lin yuelan had been haggling with them, negotiating terms and benefits. Why did she change her mind in the blink of an eye? what kind of twist was this?
His face was immediately filled with anger as he said sternly, ” Lin yuelan, are you playing with me? You’re just a village girl. How could you hand over the method to someone else? Are you trying to fool me?”
However, Lin yuelan said very calmly, ” I’m sorry, County Magistrate Zhou. It’s just that there’s no need for me to lie to you about this matter, let alone play with you. It’s just that I’ve already handed this matter over to someone else. As for the farming method you mentioned, I can offer it to you, but you can’t offer it to that person.”
Lin yuelan’s words couldn’t convince County Magistrate Zhou.
In his heart, he was certain that Lin yuelan wanted to sell this method to make a fortune, so she found an excuse to stop him from asking.
County Magistrate Zhou immediately reacted. He thought that Lin yuelan wanted him to offer more benefits and pay a higher price. Or, as Lin yuelan said, she intended to offer this method to someone else, which meant that she wanted to find an official with a higher position than him.
These were County Magistrate Zhou’s thoughts. He didn’t believe that at this moment, Lin yuelan had really given these methods to someone else. He just thought that she wanted to find someone who could give her more benefits.
Thinking of this, County Magistrate Zhou’s face darkened, and he said angrily, ” Lin yuelan, do you know the consequences of messing with me? You must know that although I’m a County Magistrate, making things difficult for you is simply a matter of moving a finger. I can get rid of you before you find someone more powerful than me. Do you believe me?”
As soon as County Magistrate Zhou said this, Jiang Zhennan’s cold and serious expression immediately became even colder. His sharp eyes shot towards County Magistrate Zhou. This majestic aura made County Magistrate Zhou breathless and broke out in cold sweat. Even Zhou Wencai, who was leaning against him, felt as if the space was distorted. It was narrow and tight, and he couldn’t breathe. His entire body was covered in sweat.
Only then did Zhou Wencai realize that such an awe-inspiring aura came from the defender-general opposite him. Furthermore, it was obvious that his father had angered Jiang Zhennan, so he didn’t hide his awe-inspiring aura.
