Chapter 1208: Getting Rejected Again

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

“What’s the great opportunity?” Jeffers was confused by Li Zhichun. Up until now, he had not figured out what Li Zhichun wanted to say.

“I am going to transfer the management rights of the iron mine to you!” Winking at Jeffers, Li Zhichun spoke as though he were sharing great news. “Of course, I can also transfer half of the management rights of the gold mine to you. How is it? Am I not kind enough?”

“What? Transfer it to me?” Jeffers was shocked as he looked at Li Zhichun a little dumbfounded.

“Yes, how about it? Isn’t it amazing? It is at the original price too!” Li Zhichun patted Jeffers’ shoulder and said.

“Original price?” Jeffers looked at Li Zhichun who was smiling. He immediately thought of the rumor he heard last night. Li Zhichun wanted to transfer the management rights of the gold mine to Bobby, and Bobby refused directly.

When he heard about it yesterday, Jeffers didn’t believe it. After all, it was hard to determine whether it was true or not. But today, Jeffers believed it because Li Zhichun looked for him to transfer the management rights of the iron mine and gold mine!

If Li Zhichun really wanted to transfer management rights, then the best transferee of the gold mine’s management rights would be Bobby, because he owned the other half of the gold mine management rights. Since Li Zhichun looked for Jeffers, then it showed that yesterday’s rumor was true!

Only after Bobby refused, would Li Zhichun find someone else. Otherwise, why didn’t he transfer the gold mine to Bobby? The management rights of half of the gold mine were the biggest benefit to Bobby. The benefits could only be maximized in Bobby’s hands. It was obviously not as attractive to others.

So, when Li Zhichun stated that he wanted to transfer the management rights of half of the gold mine to him, Jeffers immediately realized this. Even Bobby didn’t dare to have the gold mine. Did Jeffers have the courage to accept it? Obviously, he didn’t dare.

“Yes, the original price. How is it? Is that a problem for you?” Li Zhichun saw Jeffers’ surprised expression, and he didn’t think much about it. He thought Jeffers was flattered.

“This… the price is not a problem for me.” Although Jeffers only ran a small coal mine, the profits of such things were unimaginable. So even if there was only one small coal mine, Jeffers’ wealth was not too little. It was more than enough to buy Li Zhichun’s management rights to the iron mine and half of the gold mine.

However, Jeffers did not dare to buy. Although he was tempted by Li Zhichun’s suggestion, he was not a person who did not understand the rules. He must abide by the rules here to survive in this land.

A man whom Bobby couldn’t afford to offend – Jeffers would not even dare to think about it. He didn’t want to offend a big shot because of his temporary interests which made him unable to run the coal mine.

So, what Jeffers could think of was to reject. Rejection was his only choice.

“Since it is not a problem, then shall we will look into the specifics of the transfer?” Li Zhichun did not wait for Jeffers to finish and quickly interrupted his words.

“No, Mr. Li, listen to me first!” Jeffers waved his hand and said, “I mean the price is not a problem, but I don’t want to buy the iron mine and gold mine in your hands.”

“What!? You don’t want to buy?” Li Zhichun widened his eyes. “Jeffers, are you mistaken? You don’t want to buy? Didn’t you tell me before that you wanted to have more mines?”

“Oh… Yes, indeed, but that was the past, not now. Now, I have changed my mind to just manage my small coal mine in peace. I’m already satisfied. Yes, satisfied; that is the case!” said Jeffers incoherently. After all, his previous relationship with Li Zhichun was more harmonious. He was a little sorry to reject directly now.

However, he really couldn’t help Li Zhichun. At the same time, he also hated Li Zhichun in his heart. Obviously, he offended a big shot. He had to transfer the mines in his hands quickly, and leave this place. But, he still had to appear like a savior, as if he had given Jeffers a great benefit which made Jeffers very annoyed!

Jeffers did not believe that Li Zhichun did not understand this. If he didn’t know that he had offended someone, how could he sell his mines’ management rights? Moreover, it was even at the original price. Unless he had his brain punctured!

In fact, the management rights of a mine were obtained in difficulty. Even if there were to be a transfer, it would not be transferred at the original price. However, Li Zhichun still transferred it at the original price. In this case, it was thought-provoking!

Originally, Jeffers was going to tell Li Zhichun about the rumors outside, but now Li Zhichun seemed to treat him as a fool for which he could not tolerate. Hence, Jeffers didn’t plan to tell Li Zhichun about the rumor he heard yesterday. It was better to let Li Zhichun stay in the dark.

“You… what the hell is going on? Jeffers, are you kidding me? You are not tempted by such favorable conditions?” Li Zhichun saw that Jeffers rejected him, and he was thoroughly overwhelmed. Previously, he was confident. He felt that if Jeffers were not a fool, he would definitely buy the iron mine and half gold mine management rights from his hands, but his thoughts were fruitless!

Just like the contrast between before and after he looked for Bobby yesterday, Li Zhichun’s heart could not bear it anymore.

Jeffers snorted in his heart. It is a lie that I’m not tempted, but I need to be capable for the temptation. The fight between the big shots was not something that people at his level could participate in.

And Li Zhichun as the victim could only be sacrificed naturally.

“I’m really not tempted, and I don’t dare to be interested.” Jeffers’s expression showed a very indifferent gesture. He hated Li Zhichun’s face.

“You aren’t interested? How is this possible?” Li Zhichun looked at Jeffers with some unwillingness. “You’re not kidding with me, right? This is not funny. You know, chances are rare. You are the first person I looked for. If you don’t want to, there are people waiting in line to take it. In fact, the relationship between us is great, so I contacted you first! I didn’t want others to take advantage of it!”

Jeffers felt like he was about to throw up. He looked at Li Zhichun lying without his face getting red, and he shook his head silently. “No, you should let others have the advantage.”

I’m the first one you looked for? Jeffers wanted to laugh out loud on the spot. Which time was it when you looked for Bobby yesterday? The “zeroth” time? If you can really put it this way…

Taking an advantage? This is simply harming me! Luckily, I am well-informed, so I know the secret behind. Otherwise, if I were stupid enough to buy the mines in Li Zhichun’s hands, never mind that I would be wasting money. It is even hard to determine whether I can continue to mingle at this place!

Thankfully, Li Zhichun did not look for him as the first person. Otherwise, Jeffers would have been fooled! It was really dangerous! However, after all, it was a relationship for many years. Before Jeffers left, he decided to give a hint to Li Zhichun. “Mr. Li, why are you transferring the two mines?”

“Ugh… Oh, this is the case. I have a business in Singapore in financial straits. I want to get rid of the iron mine and half of the gold mine management rights in my hands as soon as possible so that I can quickly cover the loss!” Li Zhichun casually told a lie.

Jeffers shook his head and gave up the last attempt to hint to Li Zhichun. This person was not worthy of getting his hint. At this time, he was still lying. This made Jeffers very angry.

He paid the mine contracting money yesterday, yet he was anxious to use money today. Either he turned stupid, or it was simply nonsense.

“Good luck. I’m really not fond of your iron mine and half a gold mine.” Jeffers patted Li Zhichun’s shoulder and stepped out of Li Zhichun’s room. He did not drink the porridge that was put in front of him at all.

Li Zhichun did not persuade him to stay. The ultimate reason why he asked Jeffers to have porridge was to transfer the mine management right to Jeffers. Since Jeffers had rejected it, there was nothing to talk about. As for Jeffers drinking the porridge or not, it was not Li Zhichun’s concern.

“Motherf*cker!” Li Zhichun cursed secretly. “Why is everyone so ridiculous? Such a sought-after thing and they are actually not interested? I do not believe that even if you two don’t dare to be interested, is everyone else not interested?”

After Jeffers went out of Li Zhichun’s room, he began to propagate news of this incident everywhere. Li Zhichun had already hurt his heart. He decided to not leave any face for Li Zhichun.

“Hey, do you know who looked for me just now?” Jeffers came to the restaurant. He hadn’t eaten anything in Li Zhichun’s room before, so he went straight to the restaurant.

“Who?” The big mouth, Mike, immediately came over. He always liked to ask about these weird things.

“It’s Li Zhichun!” Jeffers smiled mysteriously.

“Oh!” Mike immediately became interested. “It’s him. How is it? Why did he look for you?”

“Why do you think he looked for me?” said Jeffers deliberately.

“En, let me think about it!” Mike nodded. “I got it! He must be selling the management rights of his two mines to you. Is that the case?”

“Yes, indeed!” Jeffers affirmed Mike’s words, “Do you know what he said? He said that he is giving me an advantage, letting me get a big bargain. He wants to transfer the management rights of the two mines at the original price! Moreover, he said that I was the first one he thought of!”

“Oh, hahahahahaha…!” Mike laughed after he heard it. “The first one… Hahaha, I’m going to die of laughter. How did you reply then?”
