Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Pretending to Be a Fangirl and Bluffing

Xu Ying listened with increasing suspicion and uncertainty, piecing together the whole story of Tian Lang’s sheep-finding kindness based on the words of these two sheep.

Could it be that Tian Lang deliberately took Uncle Gray-Clothes’ sheep and tied them up somewhere others couldn’t find for a night, then returned them the next morning, creating the illusion that he spent the whole night looking for them, just to gain Uncle Gray-Clothes’ trust by playing the good guy!

And then thinking back to the conversation where many villagers recounted how Tian Lang had helped them.

As Xu Ying thought about it more, she became terrified. Could it be that many of Tian Lang’s “good deeds” were planned out, creating problems first, and then stepping up to solve them?

She felt more and more that it was necessary to go and ask Aunt Bao’s Big Black Dog.

Watching Tian Lang bask in everyone’s praise, Xu Ying exclaimed, her big eyes showing a curious expression, she said loudly, “If they’re expressing gratitude, then why are these two sheep spitting at this young man?”

Hearing this, Tian Lang had a fleeting look of guilt in his eyes, and he barely managed to maintain the smile on his face: “There’s a lack of water in the desert, you know, water is the most precious resource there.”

“These two little cuties are using the most precious water to thank me.”

Xu Ying laughed, Tian Lang really was a master of sophistry!

Deng Zhiqing, who came along with Tian Lang, seemed cultured and spoke up for Tian Lang at this moment: “I heard a story when I was in school, it’s called lamb kneeling for milk. It means the lamb bends its front legs into a kneeling position while sucking milk from the ewe, showing gratitude for the ewe’s nourishment.”

“Sheep really are animals that understand gratitude, and today we truly witnessed it.”

He gave a thumbs up to Tian Lang: “Little Tian, this good fortune comes from your good deeds!”

Many in the village believed in some form of esotericism and now, seeing Tian Lang in such a light, felt even more admiration.

Embarrassed by Deng Zhiqing’s praise, Tian Lang humbly said a few words and began a mutual exchange of compliments: “Brother Deng, you’re truly a professional from a top Agricultural and Forestry University, your knowledge is so broad!”

The villagers also felt more favorable towards Deng Zhiqing, praising him: “This is the caliber of graduates from the National Agricultural and Forestry University.”

National Agricultural and Forestry University?

Upon hearing this, Xu Ying’s eyes lit up with excitement.

How coincidental, the Feng Yun couple are professors at the National Agricultural and Forestry University!

She immediately put on a look of admiration, squealing like a fangirl, “The National Agricultural and Forestry University? It’s the best Agricultural and Forestry University in the country, the Tsinghua and Peking of Agri-Forestry schools!”

“It was my dream university when I was taking the college entrance exam! Unfortunately, I didn’t score high enough to get in.”

“Brother Deng, you’re really amazing!”

Deng Zhiqing, seeing such a young and pretty girl looking at him with stars of admiration in her eyes, was quite flattered and humbly said, “I’m much older than you, it was easier to get into universities in my time.”

Xu Ying maintained her fangirl expression: “Graduates from such a top university must be elite, you must specialize in Pest Control at the National Agricultural and Forestry University? This major is renowned globally!”

“Your termite control skills must be impeccable.”

Deng Zhiqing’s eyes flickered, yet he did not deny Xu Ying’s words, only humbly replying: “Not that amazing, you’re overpraising me.”

Xu Ying eagerly said: “Could I get one of your business cards? The folks who deliver supplies to me from Dongqing Village are always troubled by termite issues; I’ll introduce you to them.”

Deng Zhiqing, upon hearing that Xu Ying was going to introduce business to him, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over: “Thank you so much, little sister, you can also contact me if you have any pest control issues.”

Carefully taking the card, Xu Ying saw the words “Deng Zhiqing” on it, and a smile curved on her lips: “Sure thing.”

Hearing the headquarters’ young girl praise the National Agricultural and Forestry University, everyone realized even more how impressive Deng Zhiqing was.

After this little interlude, Aunt Li couldn’t hold back any longer and hurriedly asked Tian Lang: “Little Tian, how did the negotiation with your boss for our discounts go? Did you manage to get it?”

A matter concerning their homes, the villagers gathered around to listen.

Seizing the opportunity, Xu Ying stepped out of the crowd, took a photo of the business card in her hand, and sneakily took a picture of this Deng Zhiqing, then sent it to Feng Yun, asking him to help verify the authenticity of Deng Zhiqing’s credentials.

Just after Xu Ying sent the message to Feng Yun, Aunt Bao called her: “Yingying, are you lost? Should I come and get you?”

Xu Ying replied: “I’m at Aunt Li’s doorstep.”

On the other end, upon hearing the words “Aunt Li,” there was a pause: “I’ll come and get you, you must be hungry, your aunt made lamb pastries for you.”

“No need, no need, I’m not hungry, thank you, Aunt.”

Xu Ying glanced around at the situation: “If it’s convenient, could you bring Big Black Dog over?”

“This…” Bao Sufen’s tone turned troubled: “Why suddenly bring Big Black over? You know, Aunt Li has a misunderstanding with me and Big Black.”

“Is it because Aunt Li thinks that Big Black ate her chickens?”

“I just want to help clear up the misunderstanding this time.”

Aunt Bao, no fool, quickly recalled that Xu Ying could understand animals and must know something: “Alright, I’ll bring Big Black over. Wait for me, dear.”

Meanwhile, at Aunt Li’s, all eyes were on Tian Lang, showing anticipation.

Seeing so many people watching him, Tian Lang paused for a moment, showing an embarrassed expression.

Aunt Li noticed his expression, “Little Tian, is the discount negotiation not going well? I know you’ve done your best.”

Tian Lang nodded and shook his head.

“Well, everyone in the village, I’m practically half of Da Huyang Village, we’ve formed a family-like relationship, and we’ve successfully secured discounted slots for family members.”

“Conduct a full termite removal and apply an anti-termite coating, only costing 19,000 to solve the root problem, plus an annual maintenance visit if you pay the full amount upfront.”

Slashing from forty thousand to nineteen thousand and offering a cure at its root with yearly maintenance benefits, many villagers were moved.

Moreover, the price of nineteen thousand was just below twenty thousand, making it more palatable.

Saying this, Tian Lang scratched his head, looking even more embarrassed: “But our boss said, this year-round maintenance offer is limited to thirty slots, first come, first served.”

Hearing the number of slots, the villagers became anxious: “Thirty slots? We have about a hundred households in our village!”

Deng Zhiqing moved to the back of the van, took out a folding table and chairs, brought over a notebook, pen, card machine, and receipts.

“Don’t miss this opportunity. If you need it, line up and see me to pay, I’ll be here afternoon and evening. The boss said this offer ends at midnight today.”
