Chapter 141 Game

The two walked into the room, and the others did not follow. As soon as Gregory entered the room, he did not immediately start talking about the transaction. Instead, he pointed at the decorations in the room and introduced them one by one, especially the picture on the wall. painting.

While talking about his love for this painting, he observed the changes in Catherine's expression and found that the other party did not seem to be interested. A trace of disappointment flashed in the old man's heart, but it did not show on his face at all.

The two parties sat down on both sides of the sofa. Gregory was still talking about trivial matters, showing that he didn't care about the transaction at all. Catherine on the side always had a polite smile on her face, just listening to him there. Talking about some unrelated topics, he just exchanged the positions of the two pieces of paper sandwiched in the notebook.

Seeing the girl's polite manner with a sense of distance, he felt helpless, knowing that this sentence did not seem to be easy.

The two of them just chatted word by word, as if they had some kind of tacit understanding, and neither of them wanted to take the initiative to bring the topic to trading.

They all knew in their hearts that whoever took the initiative to bring up the deal would be at a disadvantage throughout the subsequent negotiations, so time passed by slowly. Seeing that almost an hour had passed, there was a knock on the door of the room.

It was Jesus who came in. He walked up to Gregory and whispered a few words. The old man's face changed imperceptibly.

At this time, Catherine was still faithfully carrying out what Lu Jiayi had told her before he came in, that is, no matter how long the other party delayed, she should not take the initiative to say that she wanted to trade.

At first she was a little confused, but after seeing the other party's performance throughout the whole process, she understood the meaning of this, so she hasn't let go until now. When she couldn't help it, she just talked about the team fighting outside.

Since Jesus came in just now, she has noticed that the other person's mood seems to be getting more and more irritable. The other person does not show it, but Catherine can catch it from his many small movements. She doesn't know what happened specifically, but she can He was sure that Lu Jiayi must have done something, so he felt more at ease while waiting. He was still chatting, but in his heart he admired his boyfriend more and more.

Another half hour passed in silence, during which Jesus came in twice again. Each time, the old man's mood became worse, and Catherine also began to frequently look at the sky outside the window.

Of course, Gregory saw the girl's movements. He glanced out the window subconsciously and found that it was already approaching evening unknowingly!

Catherine finally stood up and straightened her clothes. She continued to nod politely, and then said: "Mr. Gregory, it's almost evening, and it's time for us to go back. I had a great time chatting with you today. I wish you the best." Enjoy your life.”

After saying that, she walked directly out of the door. Behind her, Gregory was very depressed. He had been testing her all afternoon but had gained nothing. Although the other party was young, he was much more experienced than expected.

If it weren't for a group of patients in Shandingzhai, he wouldn't have fallen into such a passive situation. He actually didn't care about these patients. If it weren't for this damn caravan coming, he would have had a thousand reasons to excuse himself.

But the problem is, now that there is a chance to save them, if he does not take action at this time, the prestige established in Shandingzhai will be lost.

Thinking of this, Gregory felt furious. If he loses, he will lose. He will finish the exchange first.

"Miss Kellyn, please wait."

Catherine had already reached the door, paused, turned around and looked at the old man.

"My name is Catherine."

"Yes, yes, Miss Catherine, I would like to talk more about the exchange of medicines. You know that we currently have several patients here who are in very bad condition, but we have just traded with other organizations and there is not much food available. It’s a deal, so can you...you know."

Of course she understood what the old man meant, but she still pretended to be confused and looked at the old man with a puzzled expression.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gregory, I didn't understand."

Gregory cursed in his mind, the expression on his face indeed became more pitiful, and his tone became much lower and hoarse.

"Hey, the situation here is very bad now. Please allow me to apologize to you. My attitude was too arrogant and rude before."

He smiled slightly, shook his head to express that it was okay, and then sat on the sofa again at Gregory's signal.

The expression on the face of the leader of the Shanding Village became increasingly helpless. After sighing, he continued.

"Singfengzhai is indeed in crisis. We don't have enough food. Winter has come and the ammunition has been used up a few days ago. Now we are short of food and medicine. Several people have fallen ill. There was nothing I could do just now. I have been in a stalemate with you for so long, but I just hope that I can... gain a little upper hand."

"I know that Miss Catherine's team are all good people, so I am not going to hide it anymore. I would like to ask you to help Shandingzhai tide over the difficulties. When we calm down, we will definitely repay you. What do you think of this? "

Gregory's words were very sincere, and there was a feeling of worry on his face. Catherine was suddenly shaken. Is it really that difficult here?

Just when she was about to ask, the door to the room was suddenly opened. Gregory thought it was Jesus coming in again. He was a little annoyed. Can't you just calm down for a while at this critical moment?

"Jesus out! Didn't see...uh."

Gregory was only halfway through his words when he saw a young man walking in from outside the door. He had not seen him just now. He guessed that this person should be the captain of the other party who knew medical skills!

He was about to say hello, but he heard the other party say first: "Catherine, stop talking, we have to leave."

Gregory was a little confused, what? Got to go? What should I do here?

"Wait a minute, we're still talking about the drug deal!"

Lu Jiayi glanced at the old guy and said angrily: "You are all going to starve to death, what do you want to trade with us? Do you want us to give you medicines?"

Although he thought so in his heart, Gregory obviously couldn't admit it. He could only forcefully explain: "I think you misunderstood. What I mean is that after the exchange of medicines, we will not have enough food to eat. We can still get Bring out some food.”

Catherine's eyes widened, and she angrily asked the old man sternly: "That's not what you just told me!"

After hesitating for a long time, the old man couldn't think of an answer. He could only spread his hands and said honestly: "Miss Kailin, we all need to survive, right?"

Catherine's face turned red with anger. She glanced at the rogue old man in front of her, turned around and walked out of the room.

Lu Jiayi was not angry. He smiled at the other party, turned around and walked out of the room.

Gregory behind them was a little panicked. If they couldn't get the medicine today, these people might really die, so he hurriedly chased them out.

"Sir, wait a minute, the price is negotiable! We still have a lot of food in stock!"
