Chapter 60 Ten Times Higher Price
September 23rd, 23:59 China time.
Xu Sichen didn't even change his clothes. He stood quietly on the balcony, watching the rain still falling outside.
"Nineteen eighty-seven..."
She muttered numbers silently, "...three, two, one!"
As soon as the countdown ended, the heavy rain outside suddenly stopped as if someone had forcibly pressed the stop switch.
After a whole month of heavy rain, it finally stopped.
The crackling sound of rain had stopped.
For a moment, the whole world was eerily quiet.
"The rain has stopped, everyone come out and see, the rain has stopped!" A high-pitched scream pierced the sky and echoed throughout the building.
Soon, more and more voices joined in.
Excited shouts, excited screams, and sobs of joy.
It lasted for a long, long time!
Xu Sichen just stood there quietly, watching the dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipate, revealing the long-lost bright starry sky.
Really beautiful!
I don’t know when it started, but the sky in the city is always foggy, and the so-called starry sky only exists in movies and TV dramas.
The people downstairs also noticed the magnificent starry sky and expressed their admiration and praise.
"Ah, the stars are so beautiful!"
"It's worth the rain to be able to see such a beautiful starry sky!"
Compared to the excitement and excitement erupting downstairs, Xu Sichen's face showed neither sadness nor joy.
She closed the balcony window, went back to her room to wash up, and then surfed the Internet while taking a bath.
The first thing I saw was the comments under her post.
Compared to the previous replies that showed some concern, most of the responses now are ridicule and curses.
"Where's the owner of this building? Why isn't he coming out? Where's the promised apocalypse? Will there be such a brilliant starry sky in the apocalypse?"
"I hate people like this the most. They only know how to spread alarmist rhetoric and disturb the people!"
"Maybe some filthy capitalist deliberately spread these rumors to drive up prices! They should be arrested and sentenced!"
"I agree! Damn, I just listened to him and bought a lot of stuff at high prices. I lost a lot of money! I lost money!"
…
It’s hard to persuade a damn ghost with good intentions, so just do it.
Just as Xu Sichen was about to turn off his phone, he received a message from Wei Mingliang.
"Sister Xu, someone in the group is saying bad things about you. Do you want to go and explain?"
Seeing this, Xu Sichen raised his eyebrows and joined the community owners’ group.
There were a lot of messages, all from people who were so excited that the rain had stopped that they couldn’t sleep and continued to vent their excitement in the group.
1-201: "Hahaha, the damn rain has finally stopped. We were worried about flooding and were ready to move!"
3-402: "Luckily you didn't move, otherwise you would have to move back and you would have regretted it!"
7-502: "Our neighborhood is located at such a high altitude. If our neighborhood is flooded, then the entire Jiangcheng will become a water city!"
9-801: "Oh, what a shame to waste all the supplies I spent so much money on. I'm left with nothing."
5-1102: "Hahaha, luckily I didn't buy much. I'm saying some people must be regretting it now. Not only did they stockpile so much stuff, they even tried to steal my stuff, haha!"
5-501: "Who is this? That's too much! Are there any other homeowners in our community who are so uncultured?"
5-1102: "Isn't she the one living upstairs from me? She's a little liar, and she's so mean. We treated her as a neighbor, but she took us for a ride."
1-201: "Sister Qian, what's going on? Tell us so we can avoid this."
5-1102: "Just a few days ago, she saw a property selling kayaks for rent at a high price and wanted to cash in on the fun. I didn't think the rain would last long, so I wasn't planning on going out shopping. After all, my family already has plenty of food, so we're not short of it. Things are so expensive these days, and I'm not going to take that kind of hitch. In the end, she tricked me. She initially offered me a free ride, but ended up charging me 1,000 yuan. When I refused, she started grabbing my things. When we refused, she even assaulted both of us! She has absolutely no manners at all."
2-802 "Oh my god, this is too wicked. The upstairs floor you mentioned, is it 1202?"
3-401: "This is extortion. You should call the police. This behavior will not be tolerated!"
…
5-1102, isn’t that Qian Li’s family?
Seeing her talking nonsense in the group, other owners followed suit and complained that she was uncultured and uneducated, but only Wei Mingliang explained a few words for her.
Xu Sichen smiled.
Then he slowly sent a message in the group: "@5-1102, I will buy your supplies at ten times the price!"
The group was silent for a moment, and then Qian Li replied: "Haha, everyone can brag!"
Xu Sichen just smiled and didn't continue speaking.
Then not long after, she received a friend message.
Note: 5-1102.
As soon as Xu Sichen clicked "Agree", the message from the other side came.
"Are you serious about buying my supplies at ten times the price?"
Xu Sichen: "Of course, one hand delivers the goods, the other hand pays the money!"
At the moment, at Qian Li's house, Wu Dawei was busy taking out the rice, flour, grain, and oil from the cupboard. As he searched, he shouted to Qian Li, "And those in the study, take them all out too."
"Okay, we can't trick her this time. That little girl must think we don't have that much stuff." Qian Li walked out of the study with two bags of rice.
Old Mrs. Wu looked at her son and daughter-in-law's actions and hesitated: "Should we really sell it to her? Is there something fishy going on here?"
Wu Dawei sneered, "Haha, what's the trick? It's just a pretense. Since she said ten times the price, we'll just sell it to her based on the price. If she regrets it later, she'll have to bear the consequences."
"That's right, Dawei is right!" Qian Li said to Mrs. Wu, "Don't worry, Mom. We bought these things at a special price. We can sell them at such a high price now, so we won't lose money. Besides, the rain has stopped, and prices will definitely go down by then."
Knowing that the girl upstairs had bullied her son, Old Mrs. Wu also had no good feelings towards the person she had never met.
So the whole family started to busy themselves with sorting out the supplies at home and carrying them upstairs.
After taking a bath, Xu Sichen was opening a bottle of Bordeaux wine to enjoy a French meal with foie gras steak, Breton seafood and salmon custard when the doorbell rang.
When she opened the door and saw Qian Li's family outside, she was slightly surprised.
She truly believed that Qian Li would not be able to resist the temptation of a ten-fold higher price and would come to her.
But I didn't expect that she would be so impatient and come over before dawn.
Qian Li: "Why? Do you regret it?"
