The salesperson was startled, frowned and was about to say something.

Su Qinghu tapped the money and notes with a half-smile, then pointed at the semi-automatic double-tub washing machine, "Or is it that the price of washing machines has increased recently, and my current money is not enough to buy such a washing machine?"

The washing machine she was pointing to was imported, so it was the most expensive one in this area of ​​washing machines.

"The price hasn't increased, it's just been set by someone else. If you want it, come back another day and ask." The salesperson rolled his eyes, looked Su Qinghu up and down with a forced smile, and chuckled, "If someone else doesn't want it, you can still get a bargain."

What I can't stand the most is women who act arrogantly because of their good looks, thinking that it's great just because the man they hook up with has some money, haha.

Su Qinghu looked around slowly and sneered, "...Is the person in charge of your area here?"

"What are you doing?" the salesperson said impatiently. "I've already told you that someone else has already made the reservation. It's the same if you ask again. I'll tell you the same thing when you find the person in charge of our area."

Su Qinghu was so angry that he laughed, "What? You don't dare to tell me?" This salesperson was quite official-like.

It would be strange if the washing machine was really ordered by someone else as she said!

"Since washing machines like this need to be ordered in advance, I'll ask your district supervisor or manager to reserve one first." Su Qinghu said with a half-smile, "Let's go through the process so we don't end up not having one when we get there."

Salesperson: "I'll keep it in mind for you. Come back next time. This washing machine is expensive, easy to use, and in high demand. I just don't know when the next batch will be available. Come and have a look if you have time. Just in case it's available."

It’s better to take more detours!

Su Qinghu picked up the money and ticket and pointed at her from a distance, "I don't believe you."

After saying that, he turned and left.

The salesperson thought she was not going to buy and was about to leave, and a smug smile appeared on his face. He thought that selling one more or one less unit would not affect her. Did he think that this could threaten her?

By asking, Su Qinghu easily found the person in charge of that area and directly said that he wanted to buy that semi-automatic double-tub washing machine.

When the person in charge took Su Qinghu over, the salesperson was standing there idly, impatiently reminding others from time to time not to touch or touch anything unless they were buying.

"Are you sure you want to buy this one?" The person in charge looked at Su Qinghu and confirmed again, "This is the most expensive of all the washing machines."

Su Qinghu nodded, "I came here just for this."

The person in charge smiled sincerely, turned around and asked the saleswoman to issue a receipt.

The saleswoman glanced at Su Qinghu in panic and hurried to issue the invoice. After writing just two words, she heard Su Qinghu ask slowly, "Hey, didn't you say before that this washing machine was already reserved by someone else? Why can I sell it now?"

Su Qinghu looked at the person in charge again, raised his chin, and chuckled slowly, "You guys are not doing your job. If you can't communicate with each other, how can you serve the people? Or do you just not want to serve the people?"

The saleswoman felt a chill in her heart when the person in charge stared at her. She said in a panic, "She...she doesn't want it anymore."

"So soon?" Su Qinghu pretended to be surprised. "During the ten minutes I was gone, the customer who had reserved this washing machine didn't want it anymore?"

Saleswoman: “Yes.”

He answered with such confidence and recovered so quickly. It was obvious that this was not the first time he had done this.

Su Qinghu chuckled, retracted his gaze, and congratulated the person in charge, "Congratulations. Even though that customer didn't buy the washing machine, the deposit for pre-ordering it doesn't need to be refunded, right? It just so happens that if I buy this washing machine now, not only will you not lose anything, you'll even make a small profit."

The saleswoman's eyes bulged. "Deposit? What deposit?"

No deposit!

What is this deposit? Will she be asked to pay for it out of her own pocket later?

The person in charge knew the ins and outs of this, but he couldn't bring himself to scold the customer in front of him, so he smiled and changed the subject, "You came in a hurry, didn't you? Did you buy any firecrackers?"

Su Qinghu: “???”

Isn't this a bit of a diversion? Buying firecrackers? Why buy firecrackers when buying a washing machine?

Could it be that we are encountering a tie-in sale situation?

Thinking about how he had treated that Chinese American before, Su Qinghu suddenly calmed down. Fine, buy it. At most, I can put it somewhere high in the house and take it out to set off firecrackers during the New Year...

"If you haven't bought any, I'll give you a string of firecrackers later. When you carry the washing machine out the door, it'll make a crackling sound, and your life will become more and more prosperous." The person in charge looked at Su Qinghu and said with a smile, "You just said you came straight here after work. I guess you haven't found any movers. I'll have our people take care of taking you and the washing machine home. What do you think?"

He couldn't accept the accusation of not serving the people.

The girl in front of me looks young, but she is obviously not a fresh-faced young woman who has just entered the society. When she speaks, she suddenly becomes a pit...

He glanced at the saleswoman. She'd been complained about for her poor service attitude no less than ten times in the past six months. She probably needed to be suspended from work and taught a lesson...

Su Qinghu was a bit shocked. Did you have to set off firecrackers when buying a big item these days? And no door-to-door delivery either?

"Thank you then." Su Qinghu did not make things difficult for the person in charge. She bought a washing machine and provided these services. In the end, she was quite satisfied with the solution.

As for the salesperson, even if his salary isn't docked, he'll at least be criticized and educated afterwards, and he'll have to worry about his job...

That's fine too.

When the car arrived at the entrance of the alley, Su Qinghu saw Erdan running wildly in the alley with other children.

Erdan and the other kids were already curious about cars, so they all looked over when they heard the sound. Erdan saw Su Qinghu smiling at him from the car, blinked, then let out a roar and rushed over.

"Mom! What did you buy? A big TV?" Erdan shouted excitedly as he rushed forward. "Black and white or color?"

Su Qinghu: "..."

What are you thinking? TVs are so expensive. A typical 14-inch imported color TV costs over a thousand yuan, and 18- and 20-inch models are even more expensive. Even if they're made domestically, a 14-inch color TV in this city costs a thousand yuan, and 18- and 20-inch models are only about 100 yuan cheaper than imported ones.

With this thousand yuan, I can go to Shanghai to open an account at the end of September or early October. Isn’t it good to make money from money?

The driver stopped, put the washing machine on the pallet truck, and pulled it forward.

Su Qinghu followed behind them, standing shoulder to shoulder with Erdan. He raised his chin to signal Erdan to look, "See? A washing machine."

Erdan sighed, "Oh, I thought it was a big TV."

"Aren't washing machines good? They solve the pain of hand-washing clothes." Su Qinghu said, glancing at Erdan. "Let me warn you, if you dare to throw your panties in to wash, I'll beat you up!"

This kid sweeps the floor very carefully, but when it comes to washing clothes, he really tries to save as much energy as possible. If it weren't for Dadan watching over her, it would be best not to wash them and hang them out until the smell is gone before wearing them, or else he would be more willing to give in and just take them out once they're soaked...
