The store's sales assistant cleared out a space for them and then brought over two scales.
There was plenty of gold in the shop, so they didn't have to fight over it. They would pick what they could afford and pay for it each time they took it, until the other party could no longer afford it.
Tian Dongqiang took two gold bars and put them on.
120,000 yuan was paid via QR code.
He smiled as he watched the girls picking out jewelry; they were choosing pieces that were relatively lightweight.
"Hehe, you guys go ahead and pick, let's see how much you can take!"
Xu Weiwei mentioned on the phone that these girls only earn a few thousand yuan a month. Although the clothes they wear look like designer brands, how could girls earning only a few thousand yuan a month afford designer brands? They must be counterfeit.
Chen Zhe had already picked up his phone and was waiting nearby.
After the sales assistant finished calculating, he scanned the code and paid the first amount.
100,000.
The girls placed the jewelry on the shelf; it was a bit lighter than Tian Dongqiang's, but they didn't seem to be in a hurry.
When Xu Weiwei first saw Tian Dongqiang with two gold bars, she was very excited. Even if she didn't get all of the gold, giving her half would be a lot.
When she saw Chen Zhe actually paying, her expression changed slightly.
"How does Chen Zhe have so much money?"
Huang Xiaoli stood next to her; "Do you think Chen Zhe won the lottery? How could he suddenly come up with 100,000 yuan to buy jewelry for these women?"
Xu Weiwei nodded; "Possibly."
She knew Chen Zhe's salary better than anyone else; it was 4,000 yuan a month. In the past, he would give her 3,000 yuan a month and keep 1,000 yuan for himself.
How could he possibly have money? He doesn't even have any savings.
"So what? How much can you win in the lottery? I bet he's just putting on a brave face, and that's probably his limit!"
Xu Weiwei said with a hint of sarcasm, "He's not even in the same league as Brother Qiang, yet he has the nerve to compare himself to him. I've never seen such an arrogant person."
"Haha, that's true. Chen Zhe is too concerned about saving face. Wouldn't it have been better if he just bowed his head and admitted his mistake? Now he's made those women lose face. By the way, if your boyfriend really wins and he wants those women to stay with him, what do you think?"
Xu Weiwei's heart skipped a beat.
"How...how could that be? Brother Qiang was just saying that. He just wanted to humiliate them. He loves me very much!"
Huang Xiaoli pursed her lips, not really believing it.
She could tell that Tian Dongqiang was serious just now.
"Oh! Your boyfriend is going to bring gold bars again. Why doesn't he bring you any jewelry? Look at all those girls, they're all carrying jewelry!"
Xu Weiwei also felt a little embarrassed.
Everyone says this is a gift for themselves, so why are they all carrying gold bars?
She couldn't help but go over and take Tian Dongqiang's hand; "Brother Qiang, why are they all gold bars? Let's get some jewelry. I like that bracelet, and that necklace, and that pendant..."
"Don't take those!"
Tian Dongqiang refused without even thinking.
Why?
Xu Weiwei couldn't understand why, if everyone was going to take gold and spend money, they wouldn't take what they liked.
Mo Xiaohong smiled as she passed by her; "Didn't you understand? Gold bars don't have as much processing fee, but jewelry is more expensive. He just wants to spend less money and do more. He just wants to beat us. He never thought about buying you a gift. Unlike our Zhe-ge, our Zhe-ge is really generous, right? Qianqian."
"Heh, only someone as stupid as her wouldn't have noticed!"
"Hahaha……"
Xu Weiwei blushed as they laughed at her.
Turning her head, she looked at Tian Dongqiang with some displeasure; "Brother Qiang!! Is what they said true?"
Tian Dongqiang's expression changed.
What they said was true, of course, but he couldn't admit it now. If he did, Xu Weiwei would definitely cause a scene.
"I didn't say I wouldn't buy it for you. Okay, okay, go pick one out yourself!"
Hearing this, Xu Weiwei's expression softened a little.
I happily went to the counter and picked out a pendant that cost over 20,000 yuan.
"Brother Qiang, I want this one!"
When Tian Dongqiang took a look, he saw that the processing fee was 50 yuan per gram, which was about 30 grams. The processing fee alone was 1,500 yuan. With that 1,500 yuan, he could buy about 3 grams of the product.
This woman is such a spendthrift.
"Let's choose another one!"
"Why? I just love this! Can you buy it for me?"
At this moment, the sales assistant who had served her spoke up.
"Miss, this processing fee is a bit expensive. If it's for a competition, it's not worth it. You can buy those without processing fees or with lower processing fees."
The sales assistant said it with a smile.
But to Xu Weiwei, it sounded extremely jarring.
"What did you say? You think we can't afford it, is that it?"
The sales assistant shrugged. "Miss, I didn't say that. I just saw that this gentleman really wanted to win, so I offered him a very good suggestion."
This remark also made Tian Dongqiang a little unhappy.
Isn't this just mocking him for being poor?
joke!
"We're going to pick out some jewelry, Weiwei!! We'll choose whichever has the highest processing fee!!"
Xu Weiwei was so happy when she heard this that she almost jumped for joy.
"Brother Qiang, you're so handsome!"
She pulled me aside and we jumped up.
The pretty saleswoman smiled and then walked to the side.
He started chirping crickets with a colleague next to him.
"Those two idiots! They couldn't stand being provoked by me."
"Haha, you're such a naughty girl. You're trying to trick them into buying the kind that has expensive processing fees but is lightweight."
"They're stupid, so easily provoked. That woman is disgusting! She actually mocked us for being low-class. I think she's a prostitute. What kind of person is she!"
At that moment, the store manager walked past them.
"Don't talk so loudly, everyone, be careful."
"Okay, sis!"
The pretty saleswoman stuck out her tongue.
The store manager shook her head; this younger sister was giving her some trouble. "I'm going out to make a call. You can look after things here."
"good!"
...
Xu Weiwei didn't seem to frequent jewelry stores much; she mostly picked out the fixed-price pieces, which were not only expensive but also lightweight.
When it came time to pay, Tian Dongqiang's face turned green.
Then they saw that Chen Zhe's weight had surpassed theirs.
"Can't you pick something better?"
"We only picked the prettiest ones!"
"I want something with a high cost-performance ratio!!!"
"Minister Tian, do you mean the one that weighs more and costs less?"
Huang Xiaoli asked a question.
Tian Dongqiang's expression changed. If he admitted it, it would mean that he was a really stingy person.
He could only say something against his will.
"That's not what I meant..."
...
Xu Weiwei and the others were stunned.
They've already spent over 500,000 yuan, but the other party shows no sign of stopping and keeps buying.
Tian Dongqiang's heart was bleeding.
At first, he also thought that Chen Zhe had won some lottery or something. It was impossible for him to win a big lottery, as ordinary people couldn't win that. He guessed it was 200,000.
But to my surprise, even though I bought 500,000 worth of goods, Chen Zhe on the other end was still paying.
He saw the surprise in Xu Weiwei's eyes, and even a hint of regret, which made him very unhappy.
Xu Weiwei stared at Chen Zhe in shock.
If she hadn't broken up with Chen Zhe, she probably would have kept all 500,000 yuan worth of gold, because that's the kind of person Chen Zhe is.
As for Tian Dongqiang, it's impossible for him to give her all of the 500,000 gold; he might only give her a small portion.
She really regretted it a little, not that she regretted not leaving Chen Zhe, but that she left too early. If she had kept it a secret until now, she probably would have spent the money herself.
Her heart ached terribly; she felt like she had lost something just because she hadn't gotten it.
But what hurt her even more was yet to come. As the match went on, both sides had accumulated more than 800,000 gold coins, and both had already paid for them.
Xu Weiwei's heart sank.
Does that mean... Chen Zhe won 1 million instead of 200,000?
Oh my god! What did I miss?
