Chapter 1218: Purchase Catmint

“You don’t need to know,” Lin Wenwen refused to answer that question straightforwardly, “Just give me the money as soon as you can. This is urgent.”

“How much do you want?” Dong Lijia lowered his head to look at her reluctantly.

“A million. I’ll give you a refund if I don’t spend it all,” said Lin Wenwen.

The boy was rich anyway; a million was nothing to him. Recently, he and his family had sold some of their properties and stocks at low prices. In the next two months, they would sell off everything they had and turn the money into all sorts of supplies… There was a long shopping list.

Lin Wenwen told them to seal up the food and store it on or above the fifth floor instead of the ground floor and the basement.

Dong Lijia took out his phone and transferred the money to Lin Wenwen through two different banks, then asked her with curiosity, “What on earth do you need the money for?”

“Thank you! You don’t need to know,” Lin Wenwen said to him, then went back into the cabin and started making calls. She contacted the owners of many plantation bases. Some of them had already taken orders. There wasn’t too much left for her, and she wanted the plants to be fresh! Therefore, she placed orders on several bases. In a few days, she would need to go to those places to collect her goods.

After what happened during the breakfast, Qin Jiao and Lin Yuehui had been avoiding Lin Wenwen all day, but continued creating opportunities cheekily to talk to Dong Lijia and Deng Chenfei. As men, Dong Lijia and Deng Chenfei couldn’t allow themselves to be too rude to the two girls. They rolled their eyes again and again while enduring those two tedious girls.

In fact, only Dong Lijia’s attitude had changed obviously. Deng Chenfei was never interested in those two girls, and he was always cold. So, his attitude didn’t change much.

The others were either playing with each other or watching the show that the two girls were staging. Lin Wenwen went fishing together with the other girl. At last, the girl actually fished an octopus while Lin Wenwen had caught quite some fishes as well.

Seeing the two of them having a rich harvest, the others grew interested in fishing too. They each picked up a fishing pole, then sat together on the edge of the yacht. The yacht quietly floated in the sea, hundreds of meters away from the beach.

While fishing, they started a barbecue on the yacht. The fishes they caught were put directly on the grill.

They showered in the sunlight for the whole morning. They had applied sun oil, but their skins were still tanned a little. After enjoying fishing and barbecue, they returned to the beach in the afternoon and had another seafood meal in the restaurant.

On the third day, they took flights back home. Lin Wenwen didn’t go home with them, but flew to another province.

“Where is she going?” Luo Yuanjun walked to Dong Lijia and asked him a question after watching her hop onto the plane without them.

“I don’t know,” Dong Lijia was looking at his computer. He didn’t even raise his head when answering the question.

“Come on! You seem to have known what’s going on since long ago. Tell me, what on earth is going on with her?” Luo Yuanjun rubbed his eye sockets and said to Dong Lijia. He still remembered the conversation that happened between Lin Wenwen, Deng Chenfei, and himself that night.

Dong Lijia’s fingers, which were moving on the touchpad, paused briefly. He looked at Luo Yuanjun, then at Deng Chenfei, who sat in front of him. After thinking for a moment, he said, “I’m afraid that you wouldn’t believe me. Just forget about it.”

Deng Chenfei looked at him and pondered briefly, then turned and made eye contact with Luo Yuanjun. Dong Lijia and his sister had really been weird lately.

Lin Wenwen landed at the airport, then took a taxi to her destination. About an hour later, she arrived in a town, where a middle-aged man was expecting her. The man was a little surprised when he saw her. He wasn’t expecting such a young client.

“Are you… Miss. Dong?” The middle-aged man stood before his store as he watched Dong Xinxin get off the car. With hesitation, he walked up to her and asked.

Lin Wenwen nodded and said, “Yes, I am. Are you Mr. Huang?”

“Yes!” Mr. Huang nodded.

Only when Lin Wenwen said his family name did Mr. Huang confirm that she was really the client. So, he politely shook hands with her.

“Can you please show me your nursery garden? Have you prepared what I ordered?” Lin Wenwen asked straightforwardly.

Mr. Huang looked at her with surprise. The girl looked only about seventeen, but her tone of speaking sounded rather mature. He nodded quickly and said, “Yes. Please follow me! I’ll drive you there. It’s just a few miles away.”

Lin Wenwen sat into the backseat of Mr. Huang’s SUV. After about ten minutes of driving, they arrived at a large nursery garden in the suburban area, with many ornamental plants planted there.

Mr. Huang’s plantation base was large. His business was going quite well, and he had a lot of loyal customers.

Lin Wenwen held her bag as she followed Mr. Huang into the garden. After a few minutes of walking, she saw a series of single-story buildings.

Mr. Huang pointed at one of the buildings and said with a smile, “We were going to sell this batch of catmint to a pharmaceutical factory. But, the factory closed down recently. So, we planned to provide the batch to another factory. Unexpectedly, you placed the order before them.”

“Thank you! I am in urgent need of catmint. I’ll keep purchasing catmint in the next few days. If you can spare a certain amount from your next batch, please let me know. I’ll take it,” Lin Wenwen said to him with a smile.

Walking to the building, Mr. Huang opened the door. Behind the door were over ten bags of well-packed catmint. Mr. Huang opened each bag to show Lin Wenwen the catmint in it, then told his people to seal the bags again.

After placing the final payment, Lin Wenwen put the catmint bags on Mr. Huang’s car, who drove the car to the town, where she asked him to send her to a remote crossroad on the way to the city, and then drop her and the catmint there. After that, she told Mr. Huang, who was very worried about the safety of the little girl and the catmint, to leave. Next, she put the catmint into her space while nobody was around.

In her mind, Dong Xinxin finally couldn’t help but ask her the question—’What do you need so much catmint for?’

Lin Wenwen walked toward the city which was only miles away. While walking, she answered Dong Xinxin’s question*, ‘I’m bringing them back to the post-apocalyptic era.’*

‘Is there a special effect of the catmint?’ Dong Xinxin asked.

Otherwise, why would she want to bring so much catmint from the past to the future?

‘Yeah,’ said Lin Wenwen*, ‘The catmint might be mankind’s last hope for survival.’*

‘How do you know that?’ Dong Xinxin was even more confused.

‘You might know the answer in seven years,’ said Lin Wenwen, ‘I think we’ll see each other again when I get back to the future.’

‘Perhaps,’ Dong Xinxin said.
