Small Farmer Medical God novel Chapter 1996

Chapter 1996: Chapter 1991: No Appetite for Food or Drink

Hearing that Xiaobei wanted to have a chat with them, they quickly exchanged a glance.

They had no idea what medicine Xiaobei was selling in his gourd, but they were willing to talk to him, because they knew the longer they talked, the more they could drag things out.

Seeing them put down their shovels, Xiaobei said lightly, "I still don’t know your names. How about a little introduction?"

"Master Xiaobei, what’s there to introduce? I’ve got a scar on my face, everyone calls me Scar Brother, you can just call me Scar. As for these two beside me, they’re my lackeys. No need to mention their names, in case we stain your ears."

The scar-faced guy knew he’d soon have nothing to do with Xiaobei, so he didn’t intend to introduce himself properly...

Giving him a deep look, Xiaobei asked softly, "What exactly are you in charge of right now?"

Glancing at his two lackeys, the scar-faced guy blurted out, "Investment promotion! Manager Guo Meiyu trusts us and handed the investment promotion work over to us, so we’re in charge of that now."

"Since you’re in charge of investment promotion, what are you doing here? Don’t tell me you’re planning to attract investors here?"

Rubbing his nose awkwardly, he hurried to explain, "Master Xiaobei, here’s the thing! The environment for investment promotion isn’t great right now, lots of businesses don’t want to come settle here. We don’t have much to do over at the investment office, so we just left one person there to keep watch, and the rest of us came over to fix up the reservoir and stuff. Manager Guo treats us so well, if we just sit there collecting a paycheck for nothing, we really feel ashamed."

"Hearing you say that, I’m really moved!"

Xiaobei put on a very emotional expression.

In reality, Xiaobei didn’t believe a single punctuation mark of what they said.

Seeing Xiaobei look so grateful, a trace of mockery flashed in their eyes.

Right now they had a feeling: this Xiaobei seemed like an idiot.

"Could it be that the reason he got so popular before was just pure luck?"

Before, without any contact with Xiaobei, they didn’t dare make that guess. But now, as they interacted with him, they were increasingly convinced...

Seeing the subtle mockery in their eyes, Xiaobei suddenly said, "You just said you left someone at the investment office, then that’s really hard on him. Let’s go visit him now!"

"Uh..."

Hearing Xiaobei’s words, they were instantly dumbfounded!

They hadn’t expected Xiaobei to make that kind of suggestion.

Seeing their stunned expressions, Xiaobei spoke again, his tone indifferent, "What? Is that not okay?"

Hearing Xiaobei question them again, they spoke up awkwardly.

"Master Xiaobei, you just got back, you should go home and have a good rest first!"

"Yeah, Master Xiaobei, once we hurry up and clear this place out, you can go back."

"That’s right!"

As they spoke, they nervously picked up their shovels again.

Earlier, they thought they could brush Xiaobei off with a few casual words, but now they realized he wasn’t that easy to fool.

Seeing how nervous they were, Xiaobei was sneering inwardly...

"What’s wrong? You look really nervous. Don’t tell me you’ve done something shady behind my back?"

"Master Xiaobei, how could that be!"

"Exactly, Manager Guo Meiyu treats us very well."

Listening to their flustered explanations, Xiaobei sneered repeatedly, "Yeah, if you really betrayed her trust, then you’d hardly count as human."

"Yes!"

They nodded...

But inside, they felt extremely awkward...

Because they knew not only had they betrayed her, they’d been pulling tricks behind her back all along.

"Since it’s impossible, then lead the way now!"

"We..."

Hearing that they were about to spout more nonsense, a flash of coldness appeared in Xiaobei’s eyes.
