Hearing that Jiang Yuan really gave in and agreed to increase it to seven taels, the old comrade's eyes lit up and he blurted out: "No...eight..."

"No... One more tael is gone..." Jiang Yuan immediately shook his head fiercely and said with determination: "Seven taels, one more tael is gone..."

Seeing the determined look on Jiang Yuan's face, the old comrade was also shaken for a while. It seemed that these seven taels of tea should be the limit of Jiang Yuan's ability. His face softened, and he was about to agree softly, but suddenly he remembered something.

;

He offered a price of one catty, but this guy insisted on only giving half a catty. And now, if the deal was made for seven taels, he was still at a disadvantage. He only increased the price by two taels and cut off his price of three taels. This is obvious.

It’s clear who wins and who loses.

Thinking that he would lose to such a young boy, the old comrade felt unwilling to accept it. His face turned serious again, and he said in a deep voice: "No, eight taels, not even one less..."

"You..." The old comrade's expression that he should be able to accept at first suddenly changed. Jiang Yuan also felt a pain in his heart. One more ounce would make him completely bankrupt...

At that moment, he held his chest and said in a solemn voice: "No... seven taels, seven taels is impossible... I really don't have these eight taels..."

"Hehe... just pretend to be me. Your teacher is not a simple person. Don't think I don't know. How can these few taels of tea be difficult for him? Don't pretend to be pitiful in front of me... Eight taels, not even one tael.

..." The old comrade had made up his mind. How could he be moved by Jiang Yuan's pretending to be pitiful? He insisted and said categorically: "There is no price to negotiate..."

"Eight taels..." Hearing this word, Jiang Yuan felt that it was very cool in his heart. He had calculated that his points, after counting them, could only be exchanged for about one pound and two taels at most.

Qingxin tea, one pound or three taels, my points are totally not enough.

This is totally going bankrupt...

At this moment when Jiang Yuan was feeling extremely painful because he was about to go bankrupt, Governor Bai Yibin and Comrade Bai Yibin were also sitting in the study, holding a teacup and staring at a book in front of him, which was half a book.

I haven't blinked for a minute.

"Old Bai... Go to bed early..." Mrs. Bai walked in from outside the door, looked at her wife who had been sitting there for a long time, and sighed softly; what she saw was about to retreat, and the last two

Even my hair has turned a lot grayer in the past few days; especially in the past few days, I don't know what's going on, and I am distracted all day long. Is it possible that this old man still can't see through these things after so many years?

"Ah..." Hearing Madam's words, Governor Bai woke up from his daze. Then, with a smile on his lips, he looked at Madam and said, "I'll read a book for a while...

You go to sleep first!"

Seeing the faint worries hidden on her old man's face, Mrs. Bai secretly sighed again, then walked over with a smile, reached out and touched the teacup in Governor Bai's hand, then took the teacup and walked to the water dispenser nearby.

In front of me, I poured a full cup of hot water, brought it over, and sat down aside.

Looking at the warm tea in his hand, and then at his wife with a warm expression next to him, the worried look on Governor Bai's face seemed to be dissolved by the lingering light mist, and the anxious expression on his face gradually disappeared.

The ground disappeared and began to show a comfortable smile.

Seeing that her wife finally showed a relaxed expression, Mrs. Bai breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and stroked her wife's hand and said: "Old man, don't think so much, we can work peacefully for a few months, then we can completely retire.

Then we can have time to walk around and finally have some peace and quiet..."

"As for Qiang'er and the others, they don't necessarily need to be protected by you. When the time comes, some old friends will always remember our kindness and take care of us from time to time...Don't worry about it!"

Hearing his wife's comforting words, Comrade Governor Bai smiled bitterly, then shook his head and said with a smile: "If I am no longer in office, Qiang'er and the others will have to rely on themselves in the future... As for those old friends, this is the most

If you can lend a little hand to help, how can you be better than me?"

"If I can persist for another two years, then they will be much smoother in the future..." At this point, Governor Bai pursed his lips slightly and said in a deep voice: "And as for whether I will retreat or not, I don't know.

must!"

"Not necessarily?" Mrs. Bai's hand froze slightly, then she looked at the old man beside her and said in shock: "What's going on? Isn't it only a few months ago?"

"I have only been governor for a few months...but now there seems to be some changes..." Governor Bai sighed.

"Variable? What variable?" Mrs. Bai looked at her old man steadily and asked nervously.

"I don't know yet... but someone told me through the wind that I might be able to go further..." Speaking of this, Governor Bai showed some anxiety on his face, and said slowly: "If I

If we can take a step further, even if it’s just one term, I can successfully lay a solid foundation for Qiang’er and the others, and their path will be easy in the future!”

"Who? Who leaked the wind?" As soon as Governor Bai said these words, Mrs. Bai's face was stunned, and she suddenly became energetic...
