Chapter 380: Li Yuanhang Selling Peanut Oil

Translator: Lonelytree

Li Yuanhang was still worrying about how to sell the peanut oil for 1,000 RMB when he heard a knock on the door.

“Come in!” Li Yuanhang’s voice was cold.

The one who came in was Secretary Tong, who was wearing a white business suit. She was tall and beautiful.

There was a circle of people standing outside the door, poking their heads into the office.

Li Yuanhang asked, “Secretary Tong, what’s the matter?”

Secretary Tong looked curiously at Li Wendong, who was dressed in black and wearing sunglasses.

Then, Secretary Tong looked around the office again. She frowned and was a little puzzled.

The entire office was filled with barrels of oil, but none of them was labeled. So she had no idea what they were. Secretary Tong continued to look around.

Li Yuanhang looked at Secretary Tong, who was looking around, and asked with a strange expression, “Secretary Tong, what’s the matter?”

Secretary Tong smiled and asked, “Special Assistant Li, we smelled a fragrance outside just now. It was really tempting. We thought you were hiding something good. Xiao Lin wanted me to come and see what you’re hiding.”

Secretary Tong took a few steps to the desk. She looked for hidden food, but she couldn’t find anything.

Secretary Tong continued to ask, “Special Assistant Li, what delicacy are you hiding? You should surrender it. Or else when the sisters come in, they will tear you apart.”

Li Yuanhang,

He believed that he should be the first one to be threatened by his subordinates.

“Ahem…” Li Yuanhang coughed and said, “Secretary Tong, I’m not hiding anything. Your group of sisters is always keeping an eye on me like a group of tigresses. What can I hide from you?”

After Secretary Tong heard this, she said with a strange smile, “Special Assistant Li, you think of us as a group of tigresses? Do you have such a high opinion of us?” She waved her hand and called out, “Sisters, come on in. Someone said we’re fierce tigresses. Shall we show him our claws?”1

“Of course!” After saying that, five or six women wearing white, blue, and black business attire came in.

Then, they surrounded Li Yuanhang and revealed a sinister smile. They sharpened their nails and said, “Special Assistant Li, do you want to submit or do you want to be taught a lesson first?”

Li Yuanhang immediately felt frightened and crossed his arms as he said, “Don’t do anything reckless.”

“As long as you are honest to us, why would we do anything reckless? After all, you’re our superior. Am I right, sisters?” Secretary Tong said with a sinister smile, “So, Special Assistant Li, what are you hiding from us?”

Li Wendong, who was watching from the side, could not help but show some fear on his face. These secretaries were scary.

In order not to attract the attention of these women, he directly shrank to the side.

“Li Wendong!” Li Yuanhang immediately covered his head and shouted.

Li Wendong stretched out his hand and rubbed his ears. Then, he casually walked in front of a barrel of oil and directly unscrewed the bottle cap.

“ah, it smells so good. This is the smell.” The smell instantly filled up the room. This fragrance was what they were looking for.

All the women let go of Li Yuanhang and looked around for the source of the fragrance. When they found the source, the women were stunned.

Li Yuanhang, who had been let go, immediately let out a sigh of relief.

Then, seeing the dumbfounded look of these women, he immediately returned to his serious look.

Then, he pointed at the barrels of oil and said, “This is the thing you’re looking for. If you want them, take them!” He was very generous.

Secretary Tong was stunned and then asked in confusion, “Special Assistant Li, what are these things?”

“Oil!” Li Yuanhang replied with a smile.

“Oil?!” These women were immediately shocked. “What kind of oil is this?” Maybe it was some kind of skincare oil.

“It’s just peanut oil,” Li Yuanhang said casually.

“Peanut oil!” All the women were shocked. They didn’t expect that answer.

“This is peanut oil?!” Secretary Lin, the foodie, asked in puzzlement. “I’ve tasted peanut oil. They don’t smell this good.”

“I think all of us have tasted peanut oil.” A woman next to her immediately added, “The dishes made with peanut oil are also very delicious. However, this peanut oil is far more fragrant than all the brands we know.”

“Yes, my family has a peanut oil extractor. I’ve tasted pure peanut oil before. It definitely doesn’t smell this good.”

“Could this peanut oil have been mixed with some kind of spice essence? Otherwise, how could the fragrance be so strong?”

“That can’t be. If the oil has been tampered with, we will smell it. But this oil smells too pure.”

“Lhave a sensitive nose. I can confirm that this is pure peanut oil or I’d be sneezing already.”

Secretary Tong frowned and said in confusion. Then, she seemed to have thought of something and reacted. She immediately asked, “No, wait. Special Assistant Li, why do you have so much peanut oil in your office?”

The other women also reacted.

“That’s right, Special Assistant Li. Why did you bring so much oil into the office?” The others asked in unison.

Then, Secretary Lin said happily, “Special Assistant Li, are you going to distribute this oil as a reward to the employees? Just like the strawberries?”

When she mentioned strawberries, her saliva almost flowed out.

It was because the strawberries were really too delicious. Their President ordered the strawberries from some mysterious place and rewarded everyone at the company with them.

The others looked excited. “Really? I won’t mind taking some bottles of peanut oil home.” After all, this peanut oil was very fragrant. Even if they didn’t cook, they could gift the oil to their family and friends.

At that moment, Li Yuanhang raised his hand to stop them.

He rolled his eyes at them. “This is not a reward prepared for the employees.”

Secretary Tong and the other women immediately revealed disappointed expressions.

“Oh, I was so excited for nothing.”

“Me too.”

The women looked extremely disappointed.

“Special Assistant Li, since they’re not employee benefits, why do you have them shipped to your office?” Secretary Li asked.

“Tm going to sell them.” Li Yuanhang said calmly.

“Huh?” Secretary Tong and the others were shocked. “What do you mean?”

“Special Assistant Li, do you plan to sell this peanut oil?”

Then, the women giggled. “Special Assistant Li, are you kidding? Do you need to go around selling peanut oil? Does the President not give you enough salary?”

“But that’s not right. The president has always been generous. He gives you an annual salary of 30 million, and he even gifted you a house and a luxury car. Any of your expenses can be placed on the company account. You have so much money. Why do you need to sell peanut oil?”

“Exactly. Special Assistant Li, we don’t believe you.”

Special Assistant Li, “..” Even when he told the truth, his subordinates didn’t believe him.

At this moment, Li Wendong said weakly, “Ladies, I can prove that Special Assistant Li is really telling the truth.”

Li Wendong’s words naturally attracted the attention of the ladies.

Secretary Tong looked at Li Wendong suspiciously and asked, “Who are you?”

“Ahem…” Li Wendong coughed twice and then said seriously, “Uh, I’m the President’s bodyguard. Hello, Ladies.”

“The President’s bodyguard?” They were suspicious. They didn’t believe Li Wendong.

“The president rarely brings bodyguards with him. Even if he does, there are only the fixed one or two. How come we haven’t seen you before?” Secretary Tong asked sharply.

“That’s enough.”Li Yuanhang stopped her. He said seriously, “The President did ask me to sell the peanut oil. They are going to go for 1000 RMB per catty. I know all of your salaries are not low. How about you buy one or two catty from me?”

“Ah?” The women were dumbfounded. Li Yuanhang was really being a salesman, and he was pushing the sales on them!

But wait…

“1000 RMB per catty?” Secretary Lin jumped. She questioned, “Special Assistant Li, are you kidding me? How can peanut oil be so expensive? The peanut oil on the market is 200 RMB per barrel, and a barrel has five liters.”

Secretary Lin was a foodie, but she was not a reckless spender. She had a very happy family. She had a husband who doted on her. He was also very good at cooking. He spent his time cooking all kinds of delicious dishes for her every day.

‘When she heard that the peanut oil was for sale, her heart was moved. The oil smelled good, so they would be perfect for cooking. She wanted to buy some for her husband to cook. However, when she heard the price, she was shocked. She couldn’t accept it.

Li Yuanhang spread his hands and said somewhat helplessly, “I didn’t want to sell it at such an exorbitant price, but the President gave me an order that it must be sold at a price of one thousand per catty. He will only be satisfied when he sees the account of 500,000.”

“That’s…” When they heard this was the President’s order, the women were shocked and suspicious.

‘What was going on? Why did the CEO suddenly ask Special Assistant Li to sell oil? And to sell them at such a high price too?

Was this a punishment for Special Assistant Li because he was slacking at work? But that was not possible. The secretaries all knew how hardworking Special Assistant Li was. He often worked overtime, and he was so busy that he would often miss his meals.

Therefore, it made no sense that the President would order Special Assistant Li to go around selling peanut oil.

At this time, Li Wendong stood up to support Li Yuanhang. He raised his hand and said weakly, “Ladies, I can vouch for Special Assistant Li. I was the one who was ordered by the President to send this oil to Special Assistant Li.”

The ladies were speechless.

They felt that there must be something wrong with their ears.

Otherwise, why would the President suddenly ask Special Assistant Li to sell peanut oil?

Li Yuanhang looked at his stunned subordinates and clenched his fist. Then, he asked with a serious expression,

“Secretary Lin, do you still want to buy this peanut oil that costs 1,000 RMB per catty? Isn’t your husband a good cook? I’m sure the dishes made with this peanut oil will be delicious. How about you buy two catties?”

The secretaries,

He was really forcing sales on them! He sounded like someone from the insurance company pushing them to buy insurance.

In any case, Secretary Lin was very tempted by this fragrant peanut oil.

However, when she thought of its price, she was a little hesitant.

Secretary Lin said hesitantly, “1,000 RMB per catty of oil is too expensive. Special Assistant Li, let’s reduce it a little. Uh, how about 500 RMB per catty? I’ll buy two catties from you.”

Everyone, “…” Are we at a market? Why are they haggling?

Secretary Lin thought 500 RMB per catty was fair. After all, the market price was 20 RMB per catty. She offered 500 to give Li Yuanhang face.

But…

Li Yuanhang shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, Secretary Lin. We do not accept any haggling. Actually, that’s wrong. You can buy them at a higher price but not at a lower price. The lowest price is 1000 RMB per catty.”

Everyone, “…”

“Secretary Lin, your monthly salary is more than 100,000 RMB. Are you still short of one or two thousand?” Li Yuanhang tried his best to convince Secretary Lin with a straight face, “1000 RMB per catty. It’ll definitely be worth your money! Just try two catties!”

Everyone, “…”

They had not seen this side of Special Assistant Li before. It was a shame that he was not an insurance agent. He was a good salesman.

The common marketing words moved Secretary Lin. Li Yuanhang was right. Her salary was high. 1000 or 2000 wouldn’t affect her living standard.

“Secretary Lin, why don’t you take another sniff of the product?” Li Yuanhang suggested. This was a great idea.

No matter how good the sales pitch was, the product should speak for itself.

Secretary Lin went forward and sniffed again. Then, she gritted her teeth and said, “Okay, I’ll have two catties of oil!”

Li Yuanhang nodded and said, “Wonderful. Li Wendong, pack two catties for her!”

Li Wendong,

“Are we at the market? When did I become the sales assistant? Never mind, since it’s our first-day opening, I’ll help out Special Assistant Li.

Then, he walked around and asked, “Special Assistant Li, there’s no scale, and there are no packaging tools. How are we supposed to do this?”

Li Yuanhang, “…”

Everyone, “….”
