Chapter 114 She Still Has to Thank Us
Xu Youyou listened to the two people talking back and forth, her heart in her throat. The rusty birdcage that they mentioned repeatedly was actually the target of the system's suggestion.
The man in the Tang suit immediately used his trump card: "I have also spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in your store. If you don't give me a gift, I will go to another store to buy birds in the future."
Xu Youyou looked sideways when she heard this. How did this guy raise birds? How could he spend so much money? He only consumed one in a few days? A bird-raising killer? The boss looked tangled, as if he was really persuaded by the man in the Tang suit. He said, "How about you buy a few more birds? Didn't you want a puppy just now? You can also take a look at the puppies in the store. How about this, if you spend another 5,000... no, 10,000 yuan, this bird cage will be yours!"
The man in the Tang suit raised his eyebrows: "Lao Zhang, even if you want to take advantage of me, you can't just pick on me? Do you want to keep buying? What are the hundreds of thousands I spent on you in the past?"
The boss thought to himself that of course it was your bad luck, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. He was reluctant to let him give the birdcage away, but he also knew that if the man in front of him became a bad guy, he might really not take care of his business in the future!
At the critical moment, Xu Youyou seized the opportunity and said, "Boss, my dog made a big fuss in the store today. I feel really bad about it. I saw you guys keep talking about bird cages, and I think it suits my taste. It's just right. I'll buy this bird cage as an apology to you, boss. How do you think?"
The man in Tang suit raised his eyebrows and asked, "Girl, do you really want to buy this bird cage? Why would you, a little girl, want this broken bird cage?"
Xu Youyou said: "I have a little parrot at home, and I think it matches this birdcage very well."
The boss was delighted and said to the man in the Tang suit with a smug look, "Don't worry about why people buy cages. Let me see. I have long said that my bird cage is a treasure and will welcome its owner sooner or later. You still don't believe it, so why don't you sell it now?"
The man in the Tang suit said, "You haven't quoted a price yet. If you call out the price, they will run away immediately."
Xu Youyou asked: "How much?"
"Ten thousand." said the boss.
The man in the Tang suit's eyebrows jumped and he looked at the shop owner in surprise, but he finally held back and didn't say anything.
Both of them were prepared for Xu Youyou to bargain, but they didn't expect Xu Youyou to agree on the spot: "Okay."
She even asked an extra question: "How much are these birds?"
The birds she pointed at were all trembling in the cages, looking at Guaiguai. They were the ones that had been frightened the most by Guaiguai before.
The boss rolled his eyes, hardened his heart and said, "Twenty thousand."
The man in Tang suit looked at him in surprise again.
Xu Youyou nodded and said, "I'll give you 30,000 for these birds and this cage, but I don't want the birds anymore. I'm afraid it would be a sin if I kill them later."
The boss was delighted, knowing that he had met a big customer, and said enthusiastically: "Girl, you really have a kind heart. It's rare to meet such a kind-hearted young person like you nowadays."
Xu Youyou pretended to be shy and said, "My family believes in Buddhism."
The shop owner continued, "That's right. No wonder your dog is so smart. It turns out he learned it from his surroundings. Girl, if you really like to raise animals, you can take a look at the parrots and mynah birds here. You can also take a look at the hamsters. In addition to kittens, my shop has all the common small animals on the market."
Xu Youyou was a little curious and asked, "Why don't you keep a cat?"
Before the boss could speak, the man in a Tang suit said, "He spent a lot of money to buy several expensive cats a few years ago. He was busy and neglected them. When the cages were opened, all the cats ran away. He also caught and killed several expensive birds. He lost everything."
The shop owner quickly defended himself, "It wasn't my negligence. Those cats were smart and escaped by themselves."
Man in Tang suit: "Yeah, right, right! Cats are smart, people are stupid!"
The shop owner glared at him. If Xu Youyou hadn't been there, he would have pounced on him and bit him.
Xu Youyou thought about how eager she was to rush in to buy a bird just now. For the sake of her animal-loving personality, she took the initiative to say, "I originally wanted to buy a sparrow, but I didn't expect that birds are so easily frightened. How about I buy a hamster?"
The man in the Tang suit suddenly squatted down and said to Guaiguai with a smile: "Your master is going to buy another pet, and you are going to fall out of favor!"
When Guaiguai heard this, he didn't yell as the other party expected. He just snorted coldly and turned his head away, looking like he didn't want to pay any attention to him.
Xu Youyou gently stroked Guaiguai's furry head and praised him as a good baby in her heart.
Although Guaiguai is easily jealous, he is still very reasonable. He is only jealous of other puppies. As for small creatures like birds or hamsters, he thinks he can kill them with just one step and they cannot pose any threat to his status at all.
The shop owner thought Xu Youyou was the best customer in the world. She would buy almost anything he recommended. He would sell things to her at several times the price, but she would not even bargain.
When Xu Youyou left the store, there was 40,000 yuan missing from her bank card, and the bodyguard had a birdcage and a hamster, as well as a lot of hamster feed and dog food that Guaiguai loved to eat.
She didn't know that the man in the Tang suit spoke not long after she left the store.
"Mr. Zhang, you are becoming more and more unscrupulous in your business. The girl was kind enough to cover for you and was willing to spend money to buy your broken bird cage, but you cheated her instead."
The boss looked guilty, but then he became confident and said, "I didn't cheat her. I bought this bird cage in 1999. It only cost me 50 yuan. I don't know how many times the price has increased since then. What's wrong with charging her 10,000 yuan?"
The man in the Tang suit frowned slightly: "Don't keep saying that fifty yuan in 1999 is worth a lot. Your broken bird cage is as shabby as a piece of shit. You haven't cleaned it for more than 20 years. How dare you sell it for so much!"
The shop owner said, "Good things don't need to be brushed. People who understand will naturally understand. That girl really knows her stuff."
The man in the Tang suit was amused and cursed, "You know what you mean? You're just taking advantage of people who are young and ignorant! Just last month, someone asked for the price, and you asked for five thousand at that time. You raised the price for the hamsters and the dog food, but why did you raise the price for these scared birds? You are the best at raising birds, but now they look listless. Maybe they will be full of life in a few days. You have the nerve to take more than you can afford! You are so shameless!"
The boss was a little angry at what his old friend said, and said, "If the girl doesn't want to, why not just refuse directly? Besides, she has so many bodyguards around her, she is not short of money. I only took 40,000 yuan, and I didn't cheat her out of 100,000 or 80,000 yuan. She didn't feel that she was at a disadvantage. She was so happy when she left, and she even thanked me!"
