The woman heard the middle-aged man's words, her eyes suddenly lit up, and a greedy expression appeared on her face: "Yes, yes, quickly ask him how much he can offer, don't let this big boss slip away."

"I'll go to the town to check if your dad can still receive his social security this year. I heard from others that as long as you don't report the news of someone's death, you can still receive it for two or three more years."

"Alright, you go ahead." The middle-aged man nodded and followed the woman out the door, returning to Qi Yun's side with a smile on his face: "Boss, how about it? This osmanthus tree is nice, isn't it?"

Qi Yun didn't really understand these things, he just nodded slightly: "Not bad, how much are you planning to sell it for?"

The middle-aged man's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, he rubbed his hands together and said: "If it weren't for this greenhouse being in the way, I really wouldn't be willing to sell such a good tree. This osmanthus tree has been with our family for some years, and we've been caring for it meticulously. If you plant it in your yard, it will definitely bring you wealth."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yun understood the man's intention. He didn't want to drag things out, so he said directly: "I won't beat around the bush with you, I'll offer ten thousand yuan. If that works, I'll call a car over immediately to dig up the tree, how does that sound?"

The middle-aged man was instantly disappointed upon hearing just ten thousand yuan, his smile disappeared from his face.

He instinctively glanced at the BMW parked outside the yard and shook his head repeatedly: "Boss, your offer is too low. I just said earlier, even when the neighbor next door offered ten thousand, I didn't sell it. You're just joking, aren't you?"

"To be honest, this tree is worth at least fifty thousand; I absolutely won't sell it for less."

Qi Yun sneered inwardly but didn't expose it, he responded straightforwardly: "Twenty thousand, if you don't sell it, forget about it then."

"I'll give you three minutes to think it over." With that, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and went outside the yard to light it.

To be honest, twenty or fifty thousand yuan makes no big difference to him. The supplies he asks Wei Yong to send to the welfare center each month exceed this amount.

The main issue was the feeling this person gave him, which he didn't quite like.

Time passed quickly, as the cigarette finished, the middle-aged man came out of the yard with a conflicted expression on his face.

He looked at Qi Yun and said: "Boss, twenty thousand is really too low, could you add a bit more? Thirty thousand, for thirty thousand, you can take the tree."

Qi Yun exhaled a puff of smoke, extinguished the cigarette butt with his foot, shook his head, and firmly stated: "Twenty thousand is my limit, I'm buying this tree purely for the yard's decoration, it's not essential for me."

"If you don't agree, then I'll just have to look elsewhere."

With that, he opened the car door, ready to get in.

The middle-aged man saw this and was still struggling internally. He had intended to rip off the other party, but it seemed impossible.

Nevertheless, twenty thousand yuan was barely acceptable, at least more than the five thousand offered by Dazhuang.

So he gritted his teeth and quickly took a few steps forward to block Qi Yun: "Boss, I give in to you, twenty thousand it is, fate brought us together, so I'll sell the tree to you."

Qi Yun glanced at the man, nodded slightly, and without wasting words, directly took out his phone: "Alright, write me a receipt, and I'll transfer the money to you now."

The middle-aged man hesitated upon hearing that he needed to write a receipt, but considering the impending two thousand yuan, he couldn't refuse, so he nodded: "Okay, boss, I'll write it right away."

He turned and went into the house, soon coming out with a note, simply stating that the osmanthus tree was sold to Qi Yun for twenty thousand, and the transaction was complete, stamped with his fingerprint.

Qi Yun took the note, looked it over carefully, confirmed it was correct, and then transferred twenty thousand yuan to the man using his phone.

Seeing the successful transfer notification, the middle-aged man's face showed a satisfied smile: "Boss, do you need any other trees? My father-in-law's house has an old Chinese scholar tree, which is also many years old."

Qi Yun thought for a moment and said: "Sure, let's go have a look. Take my car, let's go."

"I'll call someone right away to dig up the tree, alright?"

The middle-aged man became even happier upon hearing that Qi Yun might buy another tree, nodding quickly: "Okay, no problem, no problem."

After the man got in the car, Qi Yun walked a few steps further away, took out his phone, and called Jingcheng Garden Company.

"You guys come over now, I'll send you the location later."

"..."

More than half an hour later, Qi Yun had already circled around an old Chinese scholar tree a dozen times but hadn't received a message from the garden company.

The nearby middle-aged man followed closely behind, eagerly watching him: "Boss, how do you find it?"

"This Chinese scholar tree is over twenty years old. I'm telling you, since we planted this tree, my father-in-law hasn't gotten sick..."

Qi Yun smacked his lips, looked at his watch, and then said: "This tree is nice, but it's not suitable for me, sorry for making you come here for nothing."

"Let's do this. It's lunchtime anyway, I'll treat you to a meal, as a gesture of thanks, how about it?"

The middle-aged man felt a bit disappointed upon hearing this, but quickly put on a smile: "Haha, how could I accept that?"

Qi Yun shrugged and smiled: "What's there to feel awkward about? I'm hungry too, let's go."

"..."

Another half an hour passed, and finally, the garden company called.

"Sir, is there no one at home?"

Qi Yun glanced at the middle-aged man who was gulping down beer next to him and replied: "I'll call someone over now, just go ahead and look."
