To be honest, you really don't see this kind of idiot anymore. Ye Cheng looked him up and down, then turned to Manager Hu and said,
“Ignore him if you don’t know him. Continue telling me about being scolded by the boss.”
Upon hearing Ye Cheng say he didn't recognize him, the man was instantly dumbfounded, his face changed drastically, and he stepped forward to stand next to Ye Cheng, pointing at himself and saying...
"Ye Cheng, are you kidding me? Don't you recognize me? I'm the class monitor, Wu Bin. Don't you know me?"
Wu Bin?
Ye Cheng then remembered that there seemed to be such a person.
"Oh, it's Wu, the class monitor who's always sucking up to the teacher. Long time no see. Still sucking up to him?" Ye Cheng said, glancing at the girl.
Who would use "simp" to describe their classmate? Although I'd never heard of the term before, I understood it immediately. It was that amazing. Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing it, and their gazes toward Wu Bin and his girlfriend became mocking.
The girlfriend was unhappy and pulled Wu Bin over, looking at Ye Cheng with disdain, "What kind of classmates do you have?"
Wu Bin shook his head dismissively and explained in a low voice, "He was bad at studying, always stealing chickens and dogs, and couldn't get into university, so you see him now, he's probably still fishing in the village."
After explaining to his girlfriend, Wu Bin sauntered up again, pointing to the bird's nest on the counter.
"You're doing quite well, aren't you? You've switched from selling fish to selling bird's nest."
"It's alright." Ye Cheng frowned, not wanting to bother with this idiot.
However, idiots usually don't realize it.
Wu Bin straightened his clothes and continued speaking.
"Me? I work at the Wang Group now. I'm a middle manager. My monthly salary isn't much, just 2,000 yuan."
At this point, he deliberately stopped and looked around.
Indeed, a salary of 2,000 yuan is quite a lot. You know, most people only make around 1,000 yuan these days, and some even make several hundred.
2,000 yuan is like a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan in later generations—not enough to be considered high, but more than enough to be considered low.
Seeing the envious looks from everyone, Wu Bin's vanity was greatly satisfied. He looked at Ye Cheng.
"Second brother, is a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan okay?"
Ye Cheng turned around and looked at him calmly, saying with a hint of regret,
"2,000 yuan a month is indeed not much. Thank you for your hard work."
Wu Bin's expression changed instantly, and he lost his composure. He looked at Ye Cheng with even more disgust. Damn it, what a show-off.
He glanced at the bird's nest and said arrogantly,
"You don't need to be jealous of me. Going to college and not going to college are different. Fine, since we're old classmates, I'll take any bird's nest you have. Others give you 999, I'll give you 1200. Who told me to be your class monitor? Sigh."
His compassionate words earned him another wave of praise from those around him.
"This young man is great. He's made it big for himself but hasn't forgotten to take care of his classmates. He's so kind and loyal."
“He used to be a class monitor. I hope my son can have such a good class monitor.”
"1200 yuan per jin, that's 20% more than the price. It's obviously giving money to my classmate."
As soon as Wu Bin said this, his girlfriend, though a little reluctant to spend the money, was overwhelmed by vanity upon seeing so many people praising her boyfriend. She went up to him and said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "..."
"I knew you were the best, you have a kind heart."
What a disgusting couple.
Ye Cheng couldn't bear to watch anymore. "I'm selling bird's nest, what right do you have to interfere?"
1200?
Go eat shit.
Shopkeeper Hu behind the counter looked at Wu Bin like he was an idiot. Damn it, he offered a price of 999, hoping to snag a bargain.
We need you to play the role of a kind-hearted person, a caring class monitor.
"Um, you're the class monitor, right?" Manager Hu tugged at Wu Bin.
Wu Bin looked back smugly and saw Manager Hu. He quickly waved his hand and explained, "Well, Manager Hu, I'm sorry, I know you mean well, but the people in our class are not up to par, and we can't let a good person like you suffer, can we?"
Don't worry, I'll take the 1200.
Shopkeeper Hu's eyebrows twitched violently twice. If there weren't so many people around, he really wanted to yell at this idiot.
Damn it!
You're trying to steal it from me.
He quickly pulled Wu Bin aside, pointed to the 2,000 yuan bird's nest over there, and said in a low voice,
"Brother, I see you're such a nice guy, I'll give you this top-grade bird's nest for 1800 yuan privately. Your classmate's bird's nest is terrible, you'll get scolded if you buy it, really."
As he spoke, Manager Hu winked at Wu Bin.
Wu Bin instantly received the signal and gave an OK sign.
Manager Hu quickly pulled Ye Cheng to the back and had the young girl get the bird's nest for Wu Bin in front.
Seeing Ye Cheng being ushered inside, Wu Bin sighed and said to his girlfriend,
"I originally wanted to help him out, but I didn't expect him to be so stupid, insisting on selling it for 999."
His girlfriend's eyes welled up with tears. "You're still the best."
Wu Bin chuckled. "Don't you know how good I am? I'll buy you some top-quality bird's nest later. You'll know how to repay me then."
......
Leaving the two adulterers behind, Ye Cheng followed Manager Hu into the back office. The noise outside suddenly stopped, and it became a quiet place.
"Come on, brother, have a cup of tea. Business is business, no rush. By the way, how much of this stuff do you have?"
Manager Hu poured Ye Cheng a cup of tea and began to test him.
In fact, Ye Cheng's offer of 20,000 yuan was just a joke; he was asking for an exorbitant price and was going to try to negotiate it down.
He wasn't really sure about the price of bird's nest, but he remembered that in later generations, expensive bird's nests would sell for 20,000 to 30,000.
As for how much it costs now, it's hard to say.
Money is valuable now, but good things are not cheap at all.
Ye Cheng wasn't in a hurry to take out all the goods; he just took out a few more pieces.
Shopkeeper Hu's eyes lit up. This quality was clearly excellent, and it was of the same quality as the previous goods.
He sat down, grinning as he looked at Ye Cheng.
"Brother, let's not beat around the bush, name your price."
Ye Cheng took a sip of tea and looked at Manager Hu, saying, "What? Not 999 anymore? Aren't you afraid of getting scolded by the boss?"
Seeing Ye Cheng's words, Manager Hu knew that Ye Cheng had seen through him, but he didn't care and waved his hand, saying...
"It's business, you have to understand."
"Name your price."
Ye Cheng picked up his bird's nest and said slowly, "This is a pure wild bird's nest, from a cave. The color is very pure, unlike the white one outside."
Ye Cheng deliberately emphasized the word "white".
Shopkeeper Hu chuckled, "Brother, I know it's a good item, but your price of 20,000 is too high. Give me a more reasonable price, and I'll sincerely want it too."
Looking at Manager Hu's serious face, Ye Cheng suddenly had an idea.
It seems the situation has reversed.
He sighed deeply, glanced at Manager Hu with a troubled expression, and looked as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
