Upon hearing the beautiful woman say that the ring cost 40,000 yuan, the crowd erupted in disdainful laughter, which nearly made the woman jump up in anger.
She snuggled against her boyfriend a couple of times and started to whine, "Brother, they talked about us like that, aren't you going to teach them a lesson and show them what's what?"
She didn't even need to fan the flames; the handsome guy at the front was already fuming. He roared, pointing at the people around him and Ye Cheng, and said...
"You bunch of ignorant country bumpkins, what do you know?"
Ye Cheng glanced at his enraged opponent, a slight smile playing on his lips. Then, his expression shifted, and he spoke with obvious impatience.
"Alright, alright, you're from the city, but if you can't afford it, don't brag about it. Now get out of here."
Provoked like this, the handsome guy couldn't hold back any longer and pointed at Ye Cheng, shouting, "Who said I can't afford it? Tell me, how much will you sell it for!"
Ye Cheng glanced at them disdainfully one by one, then shook his finger.
"Even if I told you, you still can't afford it. Hurry up and leave, I still have business to do."
"Tell me your price, and see if I can afford it!" the handsome man shouted, his neck bulging. This wasn't about money anymore; it was about dignity, dignity!
"Yes, what can't our Young Master Wang afford?"
"You country bumpkin, just give me a price quote, stop arguing."
"Let me tell you, our young master Wang is so poor he only has money left."
Young Master Wang looked at Ye Cheng with great pride, gave a thumbs-up, pointed behind him, and said arrogantly,
"See? Hurry up and give us a quote."
Ye Cheng sighed deeply and shook his head, saying, "Fine, since you insist on asking about the price, then I'll tell you."
Ye Cheng paused deliberately at this point, "Actually, it's no use saying it, you really can't afford it."
"Damn it! When will this end? Just say it already."
Not to mention Young Master Wang, even the fishmongers around were furious. This was never going to end.
"Okay, I'll tell you then. This big one is a rare gem, 10,000 yuan. These two small ones are rare breeds, 10,000 yuan together. The three together are 20,000 yuan."
"Oh dear, I already told you you can't afford it, right?"
When Ye Cheng announced his offer of 20,000 yuan, the entire room fell silent instantly; you could hear a pin drop.
Several fishmongers at the dock were already cursing inwardly, thinking, "You're not selling fish, you're robbing us, outright robbery!"
Even if coconut crabs are rare and delicious, they'd cost at most several hundred yuan per pound, but you're just selling them by the piece, huh?
Moreover, there are rare and precious items worth 10,000, making a total of 20,000. This is outrageous!
Do you think we're fools?
Upon hearing Ye Cheng's offer, Wang Shao's face flushed red and then paled. It wasn't that he couldn't afford 20,000, but he felt it was a bit expensive.
He's rich, but he's not stupid.
Buying a luxury item for 20,000 yuan is about prestige and the ability to wear it continuously. But buying three crabs for 20,000 yuan means they're gone once you've eaten them.
The beautiful woman beside Wang Shao also fell silent; it was a bit expensive.
Ye Cheng saw that everyone had fallen silent. That won't do. If you all stay silent, who will buy?
He muttered under his breath, "I already told you you can't afford it, but you still insist on me quoting a price. What are you pretending to be rich for? You're just a bunch of young people."
He said this with his head down, not directed at anyone, but when a few young people joined in, the implication became clear.
Wang Shao's face immediately turned red.
grass!
I came out to have some fun and passed through this lowly place, only to be looked down upon by a few country bumpkins. If word gets back to me, how will I ever face anyone again?
He stiffened his neck, slammed one hand on the water tank, and then stared at Ye Cheng through gritted teeth, saying...
“Who says I can’t afford them? I’ll take all three of them. 20,000, right? I’ll pay.”
As he spoke, Young Master Wang pulled out an elegant fanny pack, took out two stacks of large bills, and slapped them down in front of Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng cooperated by giving a shocked expression, then took the money and started counting it as if he had never seen anything like it before.
Seeing Ye Cheng's surprised expression and his trembling hands as he counted the money, Wang Shao felt incredibly smug.
Those around felt their worldviews shatter completely. What kind of chaotic scene was this? What kind of world was this?
Even if you have money, you can't spend it like that.
As Ye Cheng acted, he secretly felt smug. You guys just don't understand the mentality of the rich. What they want is not whether the thing is worth it or not, but face, class, and something that others don't have.
In addition, Ye Cheng's words put him in a difficult position, and if the kid didn't buy it, he definitely wouldn't pass.
Xiao Hu behind him rubbed his face vigorously. He had basically guessed that the group of people in front of him had been tricked by Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng carefully counted the money and then quickly put it away.
Looking at Young Master Wang with eyes full of admiration and envy, she began to flatter him, "Young Master Wang is so generous, he didn't even blink at 20,000 yuan."
"Come on, let's all give a round of applause for Young Master Wang's arrival in Donghai City! Welcome, Young Master Wang!"
After he finished speaking, he led the applause.
Little Tiger behind him paused for a moment, then immediately followed.
The people around were still confused, not understanding what it meant to be "visiting Donghai City". However, they had been taught since childhood that if others applauded, they should applaud as well. So, a dozen seconds later, the whole audience burst into enthusiastic applause!
Wang Shao was holding his breath, worried that he might be criticized for buying such expensive crabs.
However, the sudden burst of enthusiastic applause made Wang Shao a little happy.
"Young Marshal Wang isn't handsome!" Ye Cheng shouted amidst the applause.
"handsome!"
"Isn't she beautiful!"
"beautiful!"
"Isn't he handsome?!"
"handsome!"
As Ye Cheng shouted repeatedly, the crowd below joined in the cheering. Once the atmosphere is right, it's just so exhilarating.
These shouts excited Wang Shao's girlfriend and her group of companions, who couldn't help but wave their hands and interact with everyone.
Ye Cheng got excited and jumped onto a high platform, shouting rhythmically.
"Thank you, Young Master Wang, for buying the crabs! The atmosphere here is electric! From now on, you're the boss, and you'll be the brightest star in Donghai City!"
"The Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves, among the stars you shine the brightest, even heaven will grow old if it has feelings, Young Master Wang, you are the best, beyond the mountains are green hills, beyond the buildings are more buildings, my Young Master Wang, you are the most awesome!"
The dynamic rhythm and rhyming lyrics are the kind of words used in later live streams to thank the top spender; they don't exist in this era.
This completely excited Wang Shao. He couldn't stop smiling, his face was flushed, and he suddenly felt that these country bumpkins weren't so bad after all.
After Ye Cheng finished his rap, he suddenly raised his right hand and shouted, "Come on, give our Young Master Wang a bow."
As he spoke, he took the lead and bowed.
He had inspired everyone around him, and a few of the younger ones joined in with a shout.
"Bowing to Young Master Wang."
Then, imitating Ye Cheng, he did the same to Wang Shao.
