The proprietress was genuinely heartbroken. She'd seen Ye Wanying arrive on a brand-new Phoenix bicycle and looked quite young, so she'd thought she could rip her off...
Who knew that ideals are lofty, but reality is harsh!
This girl is amazing! She managed to negotiate the price down to a level that she could barely accept. And the important thing is the second half of her sentence – it makes it sound like she's a big buyer!
"Little sister, what are you going to buy?" If you're buying a lot, I can't help but buy a little less!
Ye Wanying already knew exactly what the proprietress was talking about; she just wanted to estimate what she wanted to buy and then come up with the most suitable price in mind!
"I need to buy more than just this one item. I don't like hassle. Can you just go ahead and buy it directly, or we can go somewhere else?"
Seeing how decisive Queen Ye was, the proprietress hesitated for a while before nodding emphatically: "Alright, one hundred and eighty it is!"
If I really bought a few more items, I could make quite a bit of money!
Ye Wanying nodded, and finally pointed out the items she had just taken a liking to: "That wardrobe, and that desk over there, and this bench set, just give me a price!"
Wow, he really is a big customer!
The proprietress beamed again: "Okay, okay, anything goes! I'll definitely give you the best price, young lady. That wardrobe, I usually sell it for 220. Take a good look, it's a four-door style with two drawers inside, it can hold a lot of clothes, I'll give it to you for 200. The desk is 60. And this bench set, you see it too, it's a set with the coffee table, plus two extra stools, 580, I really can't go any lower, this is the lowest price I can offer!"
As soon as the landlady finished speaking, Ye Wanying had already calculated in her mind that it would cost a total of 840 yuan, plus the 180 yuan for the bed, making it 1020 yuan.
"Sure, but could the proprietress please provide a few stools?"
I bought so many things for 1,020 yuan. Although I knew I could get a discount if I negotiated further, I really didn't want to go through that trouble. So, I changed my approach and asked the shop owner to bring me a few stools!
The main problem is that there are only two stools at home. If someone comes over, where will they sit?
The proprietress's eyes darted around: "Oh my, I've really met a connoisseur today! Young lady, I'm impressed! What do you think of those stools over there? If you like them, I'll give them all to you!" Those stools were made from scrap materials and were originally intended for her own use. Now that she could do her a favor, the proprietress was naturally very happy to do so!
Ye Wanying looked over and saw that there were indeed two neatly stacked benches, and at a glance, there were actually ten of them!
Although the workmanship is not very exquisite, it's probably good enough for use!
"Okay, sure, but my home is a bit far away, and I can't carry all this stuff back. Can you deliver it for me, ma'am?"
"Um...where do you live, young lady? If it's too far, I'll have to charge you for the journey!" The landlady was telling the truth; if you lived far away, it would be a real hassle to deliver the package!
"The family compound of the xx military region..."
Upon hearing the address Ye Wanying gave, the proprietress exclaimed, "The military? You're a military wife, aren't you?"
Ye Wanying nodded: "Mm!"
"Okay, I'll take you there, no charge for transportation!" the proprietress said loudly, clearly a supporter of the military! Indeed, in this day and age, it seems there are very few people who don't support the military, right?
After paying the deposit and leaving her contact information, Ye Wanying drove away with her son.
