Replacing My Cousin for Down to the Countryside? I'll Empty Your House and Dance on Your Ancestors' Graves

In her previous life, Ruan Xianxian, who took her cousin's place to go down to the countryside, returned to the city and took over the fiancé her cousin didn't want. She thought she had fo...

Chapter 108 I Do Group Buying in the Era

[Memory alteration is a very high-level potion; it's not yet available in the shop, so you'll need to upgrade it.]

Ruan Xianxian was not disappointed upon hearing this. At worst, she would continue to play two roles for the time being, and release the real person only after the transaction was completed.

There's a slight risk of being caught out, but not a big one!

Most importantly, it's because her superior is her boyfriend.

Just as I was about to say that it was fine if there wasn't any, I heard Tongtong, who was panting heavily, say: "But you can buy a Dream-Making Talisman now."

If you don't need to alter his memory, just make up a dream for that fatso.

Ruan Xianxian's eyes lit up, and she didn't hold back her praise: "Tongtong is indeed the most outstanding intelligent life form I've ever seen, I love you to death!"

Good subordinates are cultivated through praise. Sure enough, the little boy in the system space blushed. [I...I'm Xianxian's dad, and I'll be even better in the future.]

So, Zheng Hongkuan, who was secretly sent home, recalled his experience before going to bed and his face turned dark.

He immediately launched into a tirade of profanity: "Damn Japanese devils, you perverts, you'll cause a volcanic eruption and destroy the country sooner or later."

He never expected that Shotaro not only had homosexual tendencies but also harbored those feelings for him. If he hadn't hidden in the toilet in time, he would have been taken by a Japanese soldier.

Fortunately, he was quick-witted and pointed Shotaro in the right direction when he showed interest in antiques and jade.

Zheng Hongkuan didn't want to recall this experience. He shook his head and decided to devise a plan that would both make a scene at the exhibition and allow him to extricate himself from the situation.

A vague idea began to form in my mind...

...

When they returned to the Lakeside Hotel, it was lunchtime, and Ruan Xian was enjoying a bowl of beef noodles that was worthy of a state banquet.

As for whether there was beef noodles at the state banquet... the chef said yes, and she believed him!

As soon as the hungry foreign guests got off the car and entered the restaurant, their nasal passages automatically inhaled the aroma.

Looking up, they saw their translator, Ruan, whom they hadn't seen for several days, sitting alone at the table, holding a bowl of noodles!

"Ruan! Where have you been lately? I can't find you anywhere." Diana sat down opposite her and immediately began to complain.

"You have no idea how difficult it is to communicate with the translator the hotel assigned to me."

I asked her if she had more styles of winter clothing. She actually told me that her stock was limited and suggested I order more.

Diana placed her hands behind her ears, making an exaggeratedly distressed expression, "Ruan! I've really had enough. Can you please serve me from now on?"

"Of course, it would be my honor to serve such a beautiful lady."

Foreign exchange is just a small amount of money. There's no reason to push money away. Ruan Xianxian smiled, pushed the basin aside, and picked up her pen and paper to talk to Diana.

"Oh, right! That's it. The men in our area don't like their coats to be too long, because it's very inconvenient to move around in cold weather."

Ruan Xianxian casually drew a simple sketch and pointed to the waist and abdomen area with her pen: "Then do you think it's okay to make an elasticated design here?"

Clothes that are too short allow drafts in, so adding an elastic band allows for freedom of movement while providing significant warmth.

Diana's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly. "I wonder if this design would be suitable for a cotton jacket?"

Ruan Xianxian did not deny her, and replied with a smile: "Whether it is suitable or not, we will know once we go back and try it."

You'll know it's not suitable once you try it, so why should I tell you?

"Ruan, I'm planning to place a large order for $300,000 worth of winter clothing. Could you offer me $52.50 per unit? My translator says no, but you can do it, right?"

Ruan Xianxian: ...

The original price of the winter coat was around $32, but she unexpectedly raised it to $51 on the first day. While she was busy, the higher-ups also held an emergency pricing meeting.

They unanimously agreed to stick with the bottom price of 51. One reason was that they couldn't ruin the platform she had set up, and another was that fluctuating prices would break their promise to the foreign guests.

Faced with Diana's seemingly sincere but actually treacherous expectation, Ruan Xianxian smiled and readily agreed, "Okay!"

"52.5 is 52.5, I thought it was something serious!"

Before Diana could even flash a triumphant smile, she abruptly changed the subject: "But rules are rules, and I can't make decisions about the pricing on my own."

"However..." Ruan Xianxian gasped for breath, glancing around at the foreign guests who were eavesdropping, and said:

"You can find a friend you know well to share the order. If the total order for both of you is over $500,000, I'll make an exception and charge you $52.5 per unit. How about that?"

Diana fell into deep thought, and the foreign guests around her also had their own ideas. One of them asked with a smile, "Do we really have to have two? How about we have a few more people and make it 500,000?"

"Are you kidding me?" Not satisfied with taking advantage, Ruan Xianxian retorted without hesitation, "According to you, what's the point of us setting up barriers?"

Then add: "A maximum of two people can share an order."

Hearing the firmness in her tone, the man touched his nose and reluctantly shut up.

Some people were unconvinced, and Ruan Xianxian quickly pleaded for mercy: "I'm just opening a door for you guys outside the rules, so please don't make things difficult for me!"

Diana seemed to have made up her mind. She got up and walked to Laudan's side: "Dan, you know this place best. How about you add another 100,000 and we split the cost?"

Laudan raised an eyebrow after receiving a warning look from Ruan Xianxian: "Not so good."

He was the only one in the entire venue to get a unit price of $51 from Ruan; he must have been crazy to compete with others for $52.5.

He sat there with a cocky, roguish air, his face displaying an arrogant, self-righteous expression that seemed to think he was the only one who was truly awake in a world of drunks.

Diana was a little surprised to be rejected by Laudan, but she composed herself and went to talk to the next person.

Ruan Xianxian thought for a moment and called out to her, "Diana, $500,000 is nothing to your Palmer family, right?"

In this way, for individual orders exceeding 500,000, our textile factory will provide an additional five new styles that we don't currently offer for orders under 500,000.

"Really?" Diana returned like a whirlwind. Just as Ruan Xianxian had said, 500,000 yuan was not a large sum for her.

The reason I don't want to take too many is because there aren't enough styles of winter clothing. If I could add five more new styles, and even those that no one else has...

She smiled and said, "Ruan, we'll go to the textile factory to sign the order first thing tomorrow morning."

Just as Laudan let out a sneer, Ruan Xianxian stood up, shook hands with Diana, and said in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear:

"Our factory prioritizes orders based on the quantity sold. The quantity you requested isn't large, but it's the largest among this group of foreign customers."

Congratulations! Once your order is signed and approved, the textile factory will prioritize fulfilling your order.

Diana, who was completely taken aback by this surprise, covered her mouth with her hands. "Oh my god, why didn't anyone tell me about something so important sooner?"

"It's not too late now," Ruan Xianxian thought to herself. Guan Yan, the only one who knew the inside story, probably forgot that the pressure and benefits were given to the foreign guests.

Now it's time to see how Shotaro, who's particularly good at stirring things up, really performs. Don't forget, he'll only have a chance to sneak in if the group goes to the textile factory.
