Chapter 50 -50 Bai Yi: Compared to Food?
“Young Master Su, Young Master Su, it’s not good!”
“What… what’s wrong?”
Young Master Su had just been immersed in his fantasy of getting rich, enjoying dinner in a small room, when he was suddenly interrupted by the flustered Ling.
“What’s happened? Being so rash, you need to stay calm when things arise…”
Young Master Su leisurely swallowed a bite of roast meat before slowly advising.
In his view, there was no possibility of an unexpected event in his plan.
It was the wisdom of the ancestors, the “experience” accumulated by the Su Family as stewards for the Bai Family for over ten generations!
*Ling’s understanding was still too lacking, getting shocked by even a small matter.*
The Second Young Master of the Su Family was unhurried, even Ling was taken aback by his calm demeanor.
*Could he really have foreseen this and thus be so relaxed?*
Infected by the Second Young Master Su’s calmness, the anxiety on Ling’s face also eased.
But it concerned her…
No,
it concerned the company’s finances.
*Ling realized she was a bit “overly” anxious, trying to control her emotions.*
“Young Master Su, something has happened.”
“Tell me, what exactly is going on? Did another ranking boss send food? Or is our company’s stock not enough?”
The Second Young Master Su wasn’t without reason; he quickly thought of a situation that could make Ling so nervous.
The only uncontrollable factor in his plan was the other ranking bosses.
Although he had gathered scattered food from Lords in more than half the area, he indeed couldn’t estimate how much those bosses had.
But that was bound not to be much.
Right now, he was also somewhat considered a ranking boss, having led his unit to raid a small Sanctuary, retrieving just a few hundred units of food.
Not to mention others could only rely on treasure boxes dropped by killing wild monsters to collect.
Even if they did, it would only be a hundred or two hundred units at most, which he could easily consume.
What he feared was if the other party requested trade resources that he couldn’t gather at the moment, causing some food to be released, reducing the number of people coming to buy their grain.
After they flip it, the price of 1 unit of grain would definitely multiply several times, even tenfold!
This was all wealth, no, it was resources!
Ling first shook her head, then nodded and said,
“No, it’s that Fan Mao, right after our people bought that batch of rice, a while later, he announced more food would be released.
And it directly doubled! Along with the agreed supply of Blood Flesh also doubled!”
The Second Young Master Su raised a brow.
This indeed counted as a significant event; he hadn’t expected Fan Mao to have obtained so much food.
Added up, it must have been a thousand units of rice.
The ordinary food they had only amounted to just over three thousand units; this was nearly a third of their stock.
It certainly would take some effort to consume all that.
“So, is it that our resource stock is insufficient? What does Fan Mao want?”
“Just ordinary resources, but, but if we continue buying, we might have to dip into the ‘staff’s’ resources, which is why I came to ask Young Master Su.”
The Second Young Master Su trusted her, but Ling only had control over the visible resources on the company’s account.
The shared resources of other company members had always been under the control of the Second Young Master Su, without her having the opportunity to interfere.
“What are you afraid of? Buy!
As long as Fan Mao releases it, then buy it!
We have a big family and business, not afraid of this bit!
I’ll transfer it to you first, make sure not to let a single bit of grain circulate!”
The Second Young Master Su decisively decided, transferring some resources to Ling through the Free Market.
Faced with this slight unexpected situation, the Second Young Master Su lost his appetite for food, focusing on following everything in the channel’s panel.
Ling acted quickly, distributing them rapidly into the hands of a few trusted insiders after receiving them.
The 500 units put up by Fan Mao in the market were quickly emptied again.
However, before the Second Young Master Su and Ling could breathe a sigh of relief, another 500 units of rice appeared on the market, and the price nearly doubled, though still much lower compared to the prices they were posting.
Fan Mao apologized for this, but everyone’s enthusiasm was undiminished, and the sale quantities were snapping up in the blink of an eye.
“Buy!”
The Second Young Master Su ground his teeth, as if his heart was bleeding.
*It’s okay, even at this price, considering the grain acquired earlier, I can still earn a lot!*
*And how much more could Fan Mao have at his disposal?*
*Even if it were a granary from the old days of this world, after all these years, there’s absolutely no way much could be preserved!*
*He comforted himself so, yet his fists still tensed unconsciously, nervously staring at the panel, without any of the previous assuredness.*
But…
“Young Master Su, Young Master Su, it’s another 500 units!”
“Buy!”
“Young Master Su, Young Master Su…”
“Buy, buy, buy! Just buy it all for me!
I just don’t believe it. How much more could you actually have!”
By this time, the Second Young Master Su was almost in a trance, just wanting to compete with Fan Mao, to see who had more resources or whose food supply was larger.
*The tension in his heart left him with no mind to think about more.*
*If this batch couldn’t allow him to turn things around, then wouldn’t his whole operation be…*
“Young Master Su…”
“Buy!”
“Su…”
“Buy!”
“…”
“Buy! Just buy everything!
Did you not hear what I said!”
The Second Young Master Su’s eyes widened, bloodshot, yelling loudly at Ling.
“But…”
Ling tried to make her expression appear natural, slowly saying,
“Our stock… is already depleted…”
Already depleted…
Depleted…
Gone…
This news resonated in the Second Young Master Su’s mind, like a bucket of cold water extinguishing his fury.
After realizing what he had just done, his heart suddenly turned cold…
No, it had gone completely cold.
Gone…
Everything was gone.
Truly gone…
Seeing another 500 displayed on the panel felt like it was mocking him, mocking his overconfidence, mocking his shortsightedness.
His “ingenious” plan had been brutally torn apart.
Left in tatters…

“You go first, let me think carefully about what to do next…”
The Second Young Master Su’s voice became hoarse, tone muddy, as if he aged ten years all of a sudden.
*He couldn’t help but recall his father’s evaluation of him.*
“You? Still too naive!”
Lost in his world, he hadn’t noticed that Ling’s gaze toward him had subtly changed.
“Yes…”
Ling nodded in agreement, quietly exiting the room, the social smile on her face disappearing instantly.
“Hmph…
This Su Family boy, indeed still too naive. Fortunately, this fool didn’t catch on that I had intercepted a batch of resources myself.
No, I can’t rely on this guy anymore, need to find someone else quickly.
Hmm, that Anonymous seems promising; hopefully, they won’t let me down…”
Thinking this, Ling licked her lips and opened a private chat.
“Heavenly Venerate Han, I need you to do something for me…”
