Soon, the test results for another batch of honey came back.

The honey's Abilities value is 341, which would normally be a surprising number. However, with the exceptional fritillary honey preceding it, this value seems somewhat underwhelming.

Nevertheless, Zhu Ji still asked with longing, "Do you sell honey? How about selling me some?"

Shi Wen, "What kind of honey do you want? Just the regular kind?"

Zhu Ji: "It's already very kind of you to sell me regular honey; I'm not picky at all."

Shi Wen laughed, "You've got some ambition, Brother Zhu. What kind of relationship do we have? Even if you want to buy fritillaria honey, we can always spare some for you."

Zhu Ji was taken aback by his words, then cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and said, "Brother Shi, you are so generous!"

Shi Wen, "Sure, I'll give you a pound. We only have fifteen pounds in total, we can't give you more. As for the price..."

"I'll pay ten million!" Zhu Ji said, beaming. "I've never handled ingredients with such high Abilities value before, but these ingredients are definitely worth tens of millions. It's not impossible for them to fetch over a hundred million at auction. How about I set it at ten million?"

Shi Wen was startled. "That's too high! It's only honey for one season; there will be more next year."

Zhu Ji: "It's not high at all. You've already invested a lot in the initial stages, cultivating fritillaria and raising bees, which took a lot of time and effort. I'm already being very kind to you by allowing me to buy it at this price; it would be unreasonable to go any lower."

Zhu Ji insisted on paying ten million. "I'll transfer the money to you right now. Or how about I cover the taxes too? I still feel that ten million is a bit low, and I'll feel bad about it."

Shi Wen wasn't used to his spending style, where ten million seemed like mere pocket money, and simply said, "Whatever, rich man."

Zhu Ji sincerely replied, "You're welcome, my good buddy."

Yan Kexing watched their transaction from the side and chuckled, "If all else fails, you can just call him godfather."

Zhu Ji turned to look at Yan Kexing: "Old Yan, your mouth is as sharp as ever."

Yan Kexing: "I don't usually make sarcastic remarks, unless I can't help it."

Zhu Ji sent a copy of the test results to City B, and then drove back to the ranch with Shi Wen to get honey.

Shi Wen, "There's no need to rush, we haven't even finished packaging it yet."

Zhu Ji said seriously, "This is such a big matter, I should pay more attention to it. I'm afraid things might change if I delay."

Shi Wen, "Okay, I'll give you the portions when we get back."

Zhu Ji's concerns were not unfounded.

While they were still having dinner, the director of the Bureau of the Abnormal Affairs Bureau Dang Changming, arrived at their ranch by helicopter.

Shi Wen received a phone call and went out to open the door for them.

Dang Changming saw Shi Wen, he smiled broadly and extended his hand to shake hands with Shi Wen: "Brother Shi!"

Shi Wen stumbled, nearly falling, and said, "No, it's too much of a compliment. Your address is too much for me."

Dang Changming gripped Shi Wen's hands tightly. "Is this really necessary? We've received the news, Brother Shi, could you sell some of your honey to our Abnormal Affairs Bureau?"

Shi Wen tried to pull my hand away, but couldn't for a moment.

This guy was tall and handsome, but the way he smiled Shi Wen goosebumps.

Shi Wen turned to look at Yan Kexing.

Yan Kexing said, "Director, if you don't let go soon, this deal definitely won't go through."

"Oh, I got a little excited and forgot." Dang Changming laughed, "Professor Yan."

Dang Changming released Shi Wen's hand, he reached out to shake Yan Kexing's. "Long time no see. I was just about to visit you when I heard you've cultivated honey with Abilities value as high as 515. You're truly remarkable."

Chapter 198

It's a bit silly to chat outside, Shi Wen please Dang Changming and the others go into the ranch to sit down.

Upon entering Shi Wen's home, Dang Changming sat down and immediately smiled, "Even though I've been here many times, I'm still amazed every time."

Shi Wen brought out the milk tea and poured it for them, saying, "It's always more amazing to see new places."

Dang Changming, "If it were just a place with beautiful scenery, that might be the reason. But it's different here. It's purely because the location is beautiful and the people are outstanding, so I'm always amazed when I come here."

Shi Wen could tell he was sincere, and so could Zhu Ji and Yan Kexing.

Zhu Ji smiled at his envious tone but said nothing.

Although the two held different positions, their Abilities levels were similar, and there was no clear superior-subordinate relationship. Zhu Ji did not really regard Dang Changming as his superior.

Dang Changming knew this in his heart, and his attitude was very amiable.

After chatting for a while, Dang Changming brought up the previous topic again.

Dang Changming, "We really want to buy some fritillaria honey; it's very important to us."

Upon Shi Wen his explanation, Shi Wen immediately agreed, "Okay."

Dang Changming wanted to try to persuade him further, but to his surprise, he agreed immediately. He opened his mouth and then closed it again, almost choking himself.

Shi Wen chuckled upon Shi Wen this and explained, "I've always said I have a very good impression of the Abnormal Affairs Bureau, and I'll grant any request that isn't unreasonable."

Dang Changming cupped his hands and said, "Brother Shi, you're so generous."

Yan Kexing: "What price do you plan to offer for fritillaria honey?"

Dang Changming had clearly considered this issue. "Twenty million per kilogram, we'll cover the tax."

Dang Changming looked at Shi Wen, he knew in his heart that Shiwen was Shi Wen in charge of the ranch.

Shi Wen hearing the price, Shi Wen immediately agreed, "This price is acceptable. I'll repackage it for you in a bit. Do you want one pound or two pounds?"

Dang Changming was about to say a few polite words, but upon hearing this, he quickly nodded and said, "Thank you for your trouble, two jin."

Shi Wen smiled and said, "You're welcome. We should thank you for patronizing our business."

Shi Wen that Dang Changming was in a hurry, Shi Wen decided to take him to repackage the honey first.

They were also planning to repackage their honey; they had already taken out the sealed jars.
