Ordinary people always fantasize about financial freedom, beautiful women, luxury cars, yachts... However, compared to all these material things, Chu Fang desires a sincere relationship even more, ...
Liu's Fried Skewers Shop.
Those people were just eating and drinking in the store, celebrating. Zhong Rou stood on a stool, holding a Wahaha drink, coughed a few times, and then said, "Today..."
Zhong Rou paused here, noting that in movies and TV dramas, important figures always paused here before speaking. After a brief pause, sensing the attention of the crowd, she felt quite pleased and continued:
"I am extremely grateful for everyone's help today. I won't say much more or less, everyone please eat your fill, it's on me!"
After he finished speaking, cheers erupted in the store.
The celebration party lasted until everyone left after get off work in the afternoon. Zhong Rou went to pay the bill, her eyes wide: "What? How much?"
The shop manager smiled and said, "Thank you for your patronage. It's three thousand two hundred and twenty-five yuan."
Zhong Rou tilted her head: "Is this a shady shop too?"
Spending over 3,000 yuan on a fried skewer is going to kill her.
"Hehe..." The fried food stall owner had also heard about what happened today, and hurriedly explained, "There were more than forty of you, so the cost was naturally higher. Moreover, when you left, three of the boys asked me to fry some expensive seafood and prawns to take away."
Zhong Rou's teeth were practically shattering as she uttered each word with difficulty: "Lu! Ri! Xing!"
Without being told, she knew who had been taking advantage of her.
"Big brother, you're still the best."
"Exactly! We just went out and shouted a few times, and we ate fried skewers all afternoon. We even packed up so much delicious food. I'm so happy."
Lu Rixing put his hands behind his back and said, "That's right! Zhong Rou is a creature with strong limbs but a simple mind. I can easily manipulate her with just a little thought."
"What should we do now, brother?" One of the younger brothers showed Lu Rixing the chat history from the class.
It contained all of Zhong Rou's information.
[Rou Rouzi: Lu Rixing, you come out here!]
[RouRou: You think I'm being too nice to you?]
[RouRouZi: I thought you were a person, but it seems you're still just a newborn. You just wait, unless you leave this planet, I'll make you disappear from it!]
[RouRouZi: ... ...]
Lu Rixing's heart skipped a beat, but he said calmly, "It's alright. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. After school starts, just wait and see how I handle Zhong Rou!"
The two underlings exchanged glances, then looked at him with admiration: "Big brother, you're amazing!"
... ...
As the sun set, Chu Fang and Zhong Tingyue returned home and found their sister-in-law sitting on the sofa, looking dejected. Chu Fang asked, "What's wrong? Did you fail to get your rights?"
Zhong Tingyue's gaze fell on the brand-new Apple laptop on the table. She opened the laptop and began to examine it carefully.
Upon seeing Zhong Tingyue, Zhong Rou barely suppressed her anger, forced a smile, and said to her, "Sister."
"Get to the point, don't beat around the bush."
"Your laptop is so old..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhong Tingyue interrupted, "So you want to give me your brand new computer?"
“Hmm… no, not at all.” Zhong Rou paused for a moment, “I can sell it to you for a discount.”
"But I don't want to buy it, my computer is good enough."
"Buy it, buy it..." Zhong Rou said coquettishly, pulling on her older sister's arm.
There was a computer at home, and it was a computer that Chu Fang had personally commissioned to be worth nearly seven figures, with excellent performance. Therefore, Zhong Rou didn't need the computer, so she thought about converting it into cash and putting it in her pocket.
"How much."
"Ten thousand..." Zhong Rou blurted out, but seeing her sister's beautiful eyes remain completely indifferent, she chuckled and said, "Nine thousand, how about that?"
"Three thousand."
"Eight thousand."
"Three thousand."
"Sis, I've already lowered the price by a thousand, why aren't you raising it?"
"I don't have that much money, so what's the point of raising prices?"
After some back and forth between the two sisters, the Apple laptop was finally settled at three thousand, and the two exchanged money for the laptop.
In fact, Zhong Rou had considered selling the laptop to someone else, but she wouldn't get such a low price. However, Zhong Tingyue said that at her age, she needed an adult to accompany her to sell such an expensive item, otherwise the computer store wouldn't dare to accept it, fearing that it was stolen.
Zhong Tingyue would not accompany her to sell computers, and Chu Fang, out of respect for Zhong Tingyue, could not go along either.
Therefore, there is only one buyer for this laptop, and that is Zhong Tingyue.
Left with no other choice, Zhong Rou had to agree to the price.
Zhong Rou lay on the table calculating today's expenses: the banner cost 30 yuan, the stall was wasted money due to the rights protection efforts, and the dinner cost 3,225 yuan.
Today's income is exactly three thousand yuan.
Today's net loss is 355 yuan.
Zhong Rou is numb, gastrodia elata, numbness within numbness...
He collapsed to the ground.
So all that fuss she did today—calling the police, treating everyone to dinner—has actually cost her 380 yuan.
"I won't do it!"
Why am I the one who ends up getting hurt?!
"Is there no justice left? Is there no law?"
"I want to die!"
“... ..."
At home, Ms. Zhong screamed in a heart-wrenching voice, her eyes glistening with tears.
These tears are real, more real than pearls.
As she cried, Zhong Rou gritted her teeth and said, "No, I'm going to find Lu Rixing and settle the score. He has to compensate me for my losses today."
"My dear aunt, can you just shut up already?" Chu Fang grabbed his sister-in-law. "I'll make up for whatever you lost today, okay?"
In the end, Chu Fang transferred 400 yuan to his sister-in-law, while Zhong Rou earned 45 yuan, but she was not happy at all.
