Chapter 38
Jonathan looked at the hand Cecilia extended toward him and snorted.
“I can give you the money, but if the herb ntation doesn’t sell at the price you mentioned, be
prepared to be sued!”
“Don’t worry, Unless you are out of your mind and deliberately sell them at a low price. Otherwise, you
can definitely earn several million dors.”
After saying that, Cecilia gestured with her chin toward the person who had arrived behind Jonathan.
“Herees the business.”
The person who came over was the one whopeted with Jonathan for the herb ntation bid just
now.
“Mr. Yancey, as far as I know, Yancey Corporation’s industry is not rted to pharmaceuticals. Could
you sell me all the medicinal herbs?”
Jonathan indeed didn’t understand the pharmaceutical business and asked straightforwardly, “How
much are you offering?”
“If it’s just the pure medicinal herbs, I can offer 1 billion dors. We can also cooperate in the future. Mr.
Yancey provide thend and soil form, and I’ll provide the seedlings and arrange for cultivation. We
can split the profits in half.”
“Alternatively, Mr. Yancey can sell the herb ntation together with all herbs. I can offer 1.4 billion
dors with full payment within ten days”
He didn’t bid as high during the auction because he couldn’te up with that much money in the
short term.
Jonathan was the CEO of Yancey Corporation. Of course, he
was good at business.
Naturally, he didn’t want to do a one-time deal. He wanted to enjoy long-term profits.
“Mr. Sanders, I’llplete the transaction first. We can discuss the specificster.”
“Sure, we’ll meet at the banquetter.”
After the Elite Auction, there would be a banquet for the guests towork and discuss potential
coborations.
Many people attended primarily for the banquet, with bidding. being a secondary consideration.
While Jonathan was making the payment at the auction’s trading center, Cecilia said to Oliver, “I
wonder if you’d be interested in making me your coboration partner, Mr. Sanders?”
The herb ntation was Cecilia’s, and the rare herbs were grown by her as well. So, for sure, Oliver
would be willing to cooperate with her.
However, he had just been talking about cooperation with Jonathan, and changing his mind so quickly
might affect hist reputation.
“Ms. Yancey, I’m sorry, but in business, it’s firste, first served.”
“Mr. Sanders, do you believe that if someone offers a higher price than you, Jonathan would choose
them without hesitation?”
On this point, Oliver believed her because Jonathan’s reputation wasn’t good.
However, he couldn’t afford to act poorly just because someone else did.
Christopher knew Oliver and said, “Mr. Sanders, you can go to the banquet and have something to eat
first. I will handle things with Jonathan.”
The True Lady Strikes Back
Oliver knew what Christopher meant. So, he nodded and said, “Okay. I’ll wait for your good news, Mr.
Forte.”
After he left, Christopher called Matthias and said, “Find someone to talk about cooperation with
Jonathan. Raise the price of herb ntation to 1.6 billion dors.”
Matthias understood immediately. “Okay, I’ll arrange it.”
After a while, Jonathan came out of the trading center.
Cecilia had received money from the auction.
After deducting themission and taxes for the auction, she got about 1.14 billion dors.
For the first time, she had so much money in her ount, and she was quite happy.
“Christopher, after snat**ing Jonathan’s cooperation, I will treat you to a big meal.”
Christopher looked at Cecilia with a childish look and smiled gently. “Sure, just don’t be too stingy with
the money.”
“Don’t worry, I can still afford one meal.”
After saying that, she ignored Christopher’s outstretched arm, which was meant for her to hold, and
walked ahead toward the banquet hall.
Christopher didn’t know that after Cecilia turned her back toward him, there was a smile tugged at the
corners of her lips.
When they arrived at the banquet hall, the people arranged by Matthias were talking to Jonathan.
Seeing that the other party was willing to offer 1.6 billion. dors for the herb ntation, Jonathan’s
eyebrows lifted with satisfaction.
He spent 1.*2 billion dors to make 280 million dors. Was there a faster way to make money than
this?
Jonathan, who hadn’t previously been involved with medicinal herbs, was now aware of the substantial
profits they could

bring.

With this knowledge, he had no intention of immediately reselling them; instead, he wanted to keep the
herb ntation to make money on the ongoing harvest of medicinal herbs.
“Mr. Faber, your offer is quite suitable. However, I hope for a long-term partnership. If I only sell
medicinal herbs, what price are you willing to offer?”
“In fact, I’m buying on behalf of a friend who deals in medicinal herbs. Let me ask him.”
When Mr. Faber went aside to call Matthias, Oliver came to Jonathan and continued to talk about
cooperation.
As Cecilia expected, Jonathan declined his offer at a low price.
“Mr. Yancey, in business, one must uphold honesty. Your wavering stance won’t serve you well in the
long run.”
“Mr. Sanders, you’ve gone too far. I only said we could discuss itter; I never promised anything.”
“My apologies for misunderstanding your intentions, Mr. Yancey. Goodbye.”
After Oliver turned around and left, he smiled sarcastically and shook his head slightly.
No wonder Yancey Corporation was not as profitable as before. People who only saw profits and had
no integrity couldn’t lead apany to a brighter future.
Soon, Cecilia and Oliver discussed the details of their cooperation.
Cecilia would provide the soilposition and nting techniques, while Oliver would supply thend,

When passing by Jonathan, she heard that his coboration

with Mr. Faber had failed.
She stopped and looked at Jonathan with a smile. “Mr. Yancey, believe it or not, I can let you hold onto
the herbs worth billions in your hands without being able to find any coboration.”
Jonathan suddenly realized. “Are you plotting against me? I want to cancel the purchase!”
“There is no problem with the herbs and herb ntation, and nor with the soil form given to you. It’s
impossible to cancel the purchase.”
She added, “My point is not that the herbs aren’t valuable, but that I’ll make it so you can’t sell them. If
you don’t believe me, let’s wait and see.”
After saying that, she ignored Jonathan’s distorted face and left pleasantly.
Once they left the auction, Cecilia asked Christopher, “Do we need to invite Mr. Quinn?”
“No need. He’s busy tonight. Maybe next time.”
Next time, he would have Cecilia meet Matthias as his
girlfriend.
After they got in the car, Cecilia transferred 1 million dors to Christopher.
“Thank you for helping me find the styling team and buying the jewelry. Is 1 million dors enough?”
Although she asked this way, she knew it was more than enough.
Looking at the iing message with the transferred amount, Christopher’s eyebrows furrowed
momentarily.
Soon, he yfully teased her, “For the sake of isting Yancey Corporation, I’ve paid more than 2
billion dors to Yancey Corporation on behalf of Yates Corporation. Do you want to

you hur
pay me back, too?”
In other words, if she wanted to pay back the small sum, what about therger one?
Cecilia looked at the man with a smile in astonishment. She didn’t expect him to spend so much money
on her.
She clenched her hand on herp.
Although she didn’t ask Christopher to do so, he wouldn’t have engaged in a loss-making deal without
her.
She lowered her voice. “Christopher, I can handle the issues with the Yancey family alone. You don’t
need to do anything.” She couldn’t afford to pay back both the money and his affection.
Seeing that Cecilia took his words seriously, Christopher said, “I was just teasing you. You don’t need
to repay the money, and it’s because I didn’t like some of the people from the Yancey family that I took
action against them. It has nothing to do with you.”
He smiled to ease the atmosphere.
“Although I spent more than 200 million dors, I’ll earn it back through the new coboration with
Yates Corporation. So, don’t worry.”
Cecilia looked up and locked her gaze on Christopher. “Why
do you like me? I want the real answer.”
