Upon meeting Tang Qi's gaze, Chen Xuan's body trembled involuntarily.
In this environment, she was already quite reserved, and now she felt even more nervous, unsure of what to say.
Tang Qi smiled and began, "What a beautiful girl!"
"Wu Tian, why are there always so many beautiful girls around you? You truly have a fortunate life."
Wu Tian knew Tang Qi was referring to the time he was with Zhou Qian.
He couldn't help but say awkwardly, "What fortunate life? We're just friends."
"Friends?" Tang Qi gave him a playful, coquettish glance. "A man can't have so many pretty girls as friends. Otherwise, when you find a girlfriend later, she'll definitely be jealous."
Tang Qi's tone was somewhat peculiar, bordering on sarcastic.
Chen Xuan blinked in surprise, then her beautiful eyes widened slightly, a realization dawning upon her.
She was a girl herself, and girls understood girls best.
Tang Qi's reaction was clearly jealousy!
Could it be that Tang Qi liked Wu Tian?
Thinking this, Chen Xuan became even more astonished by Wu Tian.
What was Tang Qi's status? She was a goddess-level figure!
Yet, Wu Tian could win her admiration. This was simply too outstanding!
Facing Tang Qi's peculiar demeanor, Wu Tian's gaze flickered slightly.
He quickly said, "What nonsense are you talking about? We're discussing business right now. Can we be a bit more serious?"
Tang Qi giggled and then said, "Alright, business it is. So, what did you want to talk to me about?"
Wu Tian stated directly, "This friend of mine is Chen Xuan. She just graduated from university and is starting her own business."
"She recently cultivated a new variety of crucian carp. I tried it, and the taste is incredibly delicious. I believe it definitely has market potential."
"Isn't your signature dish here the Secret Recipe Crucian Carp? So I was thinking, would you be willing to try cooperating with her and let her supply you with some in the future?"
After listening to Wu Tian, Tang Qi nodded lightly. "So that's what it's about."
"Wu Tian, I'll be honest with you."
"Our crucian carp here has always been supplied by a fixed vendor. We've been cooperating for a long time."
"So, generally speaking, I wouldn't agree to something like this."
She then changed her tone and smiled, "However, since it's a product you're recommending, I don't mind considering it."
"Do you have the fish? Let me see the quality first."
Wu Tian and Chen Xuan exchanged glances, feeling a bit awkward.
They had come, but they hadn't brought the fish!
Wu Tian's expression became stiff, and he forced an awkward smile. "My apologies. We left in a bit of a hurry and forgot about this."
"Forgot?" Tang Qi also seemed surprised.
"You're quite amusing. You come to talk business with me, and then you forget to bring the product? What do you want me to look at? The air?"
Wu Tian felt even more embarrassed, unsure how to respond.
Chen Xuan quickly stood up and said, "Um, Wu Tian, I'll go back by car now. I'll bring the fish over very soon."
After thinking it over, Wu Tian realized this was the only option.
He also stood up and said, "Forget it, let's go back together. It's better than you handling it all by yourself."
Chen Xuan nodded. Just as they were about to leave, Tang Qi called them back.
"Wait a moment. You're really being impulsive. You've already traveled back and forth for three hours. Aren't you tired?"
Tang Qi stood up and said, "I'll go with you to take a look. If I drive, it will be faster."
Chen Xuan was greatly surprised. This whole situation was their oversight.
But not only was Tang Qi not blaming them, she even proposed this solution.
Wu Tian's influence was truly immense!
Wu Tian and Tang Qi were already quite familiar with each other, so his reaction was quite natural.
He nodded and said, "Alright then, let's go together!"
Tang Qi drove, and the group soon headed towards Taohua Village.
When Tang Qi saw the vibrant scene in the fish pond, she was completely shocked.
"This, this is crucian carp?"
She exclaimed in astonishment, "No, why are crucian carp golden?"
Wu Tian had anticipated Tang Qi's reaction. He smiled and said, "I told you this is a newly cultivated crucian carp, so its appearance is naturally different."
Tang Qi praised, "Honestly, I've seen hundreds of fish ponds over the years, but this is the first time I've seen such a lively one."
"Since these crucian carp have such strong vitality, their taste must also be excellent!"
Wu Tian nodded and smiled, "Naturally. Although we are good friends, I wouldn't cheat you."
"Don't worry, the crucian carp I supply you will be the best."
Hearing Wu Tian say they were good friends, Tang Qi felt a flutter of happiness in her heart.
She looked at Wu Tian deeply, then suddenly sighed softly, "I know you wouldn't cheat me, but you haven't given me the best yet..."
"What?" Wu Tian was taken aback.
But Tang Qi didn't continue the topic. The three of them caught a fish and placed it on the dining table.
"It smells so good," Tang Qi said, smelling the rich aroma, her mouth watering.
She picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of the fish.
As soon as the fish entered her mouth, her expression immediately turned to one of shock.
"This is too delicious..." Tang Qi's eyes widened, she could hardly believe the taste.
Wu Tian smiled and said, "How is it? Not bad, right? I told you I wouldn't cheat you."
"Compared to the crucian carp your company specifies, does this one have a better texture?"
Tang Qi nodded repeatedly, "It's indeed much tastier. I've visited so many fish ponds, and I thought I had found the best crucian carp, but I didn't expect you to have even better ones here!"
She then added, "But this is a bit unfair. If you have such good stock, why didn't you tell me sooner?"
Wu Tian smiled, "I wanted to tell you earlier, but they only cultivated this new type of crucian carp in the last couple of days. There was nothing I could do!"
Tang Qi hadn't paid much attention to Chen Xuan initially, but after tasting the crucian carp, she looked at Chen Xuan with newfound admiration.
She then gave Chen Xuan a thumbs-up, "Sister, you're truly amazing!"
"To cultivate such crucian carp at such a young age, your future will surely be limitless!"
Chen Xuan blushed at the praise.
She whispered, "No... it's not me. Actually, Wu Tian cultivated this."
