Chapter 131 House Robbery (2)
Everyone looked exasperated upon hearing the director's words.
"Director, why don't you just say you're after our money? Why beat around the bush like this?" Jiang Xiubai sighed and facepalmed. The director who received the big sponsorship was still the same stingy and greedy director.
"The director, this business genius, is back again," Xia Yu exclaimed, leaning against Hou Yunqi beside her.
"Others offer 9.9 yuan with free shipping, but the director's price starts at 99 yuan." Yunxi painfully touched his pocket. He had just saved some money from his grocery shopping money in the last episode, and now he had fallen into the director's consumption trap again. You know, he usually thinks for a long time before buying something that costs 9.9 yuan with free shipping at home.
"99 is a bit low. The director should start at least at 999," Gu Yunlan said, expressing her dissatisfaction on behalf of the director.
The director listened to their conversation with a slightly embarrassed expression. Could he say that his lowest price was only 199? He was afraid that if he started at 999, he would be ganged up on by the guests.
[Haha, it's true that the shrewd director is making a limited-time comeback.]
[A 200-yuan soda won't cost you anything, but it will leave you feeling incredibly angry.]
[Haha, this also rhymes with the comment above.]
[The director looks so guilty, could it be that he guessed right? A starting price of 99? If it were a large item, we wouldn't say anything, but if it's just water, soda, and drinks, then director, you're really going to solidify your reputation as a profiteer.]
Judging from his expression, he probably lowered his offer (it's a tough situation).
[Director, if all else fails, how about we switch careers? The sales industry needs you. (Eating popcorn)]
[Director: You might not believe it, but I could have been a billionaire. But I became a director because of my dream.]
[Hahahaha, you guys are killing me, I'm laughing so hard I'm crying.]
………………
"Ahem, that's not the point right now. The point right now is to grab a house, everyone." The director quickly brought the group's attention back when he saw they were getting carried away with their conversation.
Xu Wang and the others looked at him, after all, no one expected that the house was just a cave and that required them to keep sending money to the director.
"Let me first explain the rules for the house-grabbing competition to all the teachers. This house-grabbing competition is not only a test of the teachers' physical strength, but also their teamwork. There are two paths in front of us. The two teachers in each group need to split into two groups and both of them must reach the house at the same time in order to move into the house."
"If one teacher arrives but another teacher doesn't, and two teachers from another group arrive at the same time, then the house belongs to the group whose two teachers arrived at the same time."
"I just checked, and each group of teachers brought two suitcases, so each teacher can freely distribute one suitcase."
As soon as the director finished speaking, Pei Yanchuan handed the light suitcase in his right hand to Xu Wang.
Xu Wang knew immediately upon handling the suitcase that it contained only clothes for the two of them, and the suitcase in his hand was almost half the weight of the suitcase in Pei Yanchuan's hand.
Xu Wang looked at the pure black suitcase in Pei Yanchuan's hand and suddenly felt fortunate that this time, due to the tight schedule, there was no time to pack the large leg of lamb in the refrigerator at home, otherwise it would have been even more difficult.
The other groups of guests were assigned the same roles.
It was Yunxi and Jiang Xiubai's turn to form a temporary group.
Jiang Xiubai suddenly remembered that Yunxi seemed to have brought a lot of sauces during the recording of the first episode of the variety show he watched at home. He wondered if Yunxi had brought them again this time.
Jiang Xiubai looked at Yunxi beside him with suspicion. "It can't be, right?"
After listening to the director's explanation, Yunxi felt like the sky had fallen. His expression was as stiff as a stone. Knowing in advance that they might be going into a village this time, and remembering that the heavier the luggage he had the first time, the more travel funds he would receive, he brought even more luggage this time than last time, and his suitcase was a full pound heavier than before.
Who knew the director would deviate from the expected path this time? What I thought was a clever trick has now become a burden. This is it.
"You didn't bring sauce again, did you?" Jiang Xiubai looked at the other person's stiff expression and suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.
"Would you believe me if I said I didn't bring it?" Yunxi looked at him with a bitter face.
"I don't believe it," Jiang Xiubai said firmly, "because if you hadn't brought it, you wouldn't have this expression now."
“Okay, I brought a little more than last time.” Yunxi extended her right index finger and thumb, leaving a small gap between them.
"Are you sure it's only a little too much?" Jiang Xiubai looked at the other person's gesture with a little disbelief.
But he still handed the suitcase he was carrying to the other person.
Yunxi looked at the suitcase in front of her and suddenly felt a little confused.
"What are you just looking at? Change it. I don't want to live in a cave." Jiang Xiubai let go of the suitcase in his hand and pulled the suitcase from the other person's hand. The pull startled him.
This is not just a little bit! Are you sure you didn't stuff bricks in your suitcase? It's so heavy.
Yunxi smiled ingratiatingly at Jiang Xiubai: "Brother, you're the best, please help me out."
Jiang Xiubai glanced over. This little liar who turns his back on people is only good at calling them "brother" a few times.
[Wow, that's a really good way to address someone as "brother." But "little brother" and "sister" would be better.]
[Brother, please help me out~ Hahaha.]
[I just pinched him in front of my boyfriend, and he tumbled off the sofa and onto the floor (wiping sweat =_=)]
[Jiang Xiu's face turned red. So he falls for this act after all; his arrogance was just a facade.]
[Jiang Xiubai said: I don't want to help him either, but he calls me brother.]
[Hahahaha, Jiang Xiubai is completely under his control.]
“Okay, but remember, I’m not trying to help you carry it. I’m doing this for our house.” Jiang Xiubai said, covering her face with her hands behind her back, before pulling her suitcase toward the road on the left.
"Mmm, thank you, brother." Yunxi's words successfully made Jiang Xiubai quicken his pace a little more.
Xu Wang and his group took the road on the right.
After the director saw that the guests had been divided into groups, he gave the order and the house-grabbing competition officially began.
The speeds of Pei Yanchuan's group were almost identical, with Pei Yanchuan in first place, followed by Hou Yunqi, Gu Yunxi, Leng Yifan, and Jiang Xiubai.
As soon as Xia Yu heard the director say it was time, she immediately grabbed her suitcase and ran off. "Two-story building, here I come!"
Zhong Ran was not to be outdone. Determined to win, he even surpassed Xia Yu in speed.
Seeing this, Yunxi hurriedly followed. If she couldn't get the first house, the second one wouldn't be bad either.
If Jiang Xiubai knew what Yunxi was thinking at this moment, he would definitely look at him speechlessly, as if Yunxi had no idea how heavy his suitcase was.
Qin Huai watched as the people ahead of him set off, leisurely pulling their suitcases forward. Based on his deductions, President Pei was definitely in first place, Hou Yunqi was likely in second, and his Gu Yunlan was probably in third. Therefore, his goal was clear: he wanted to go straight for the third house.
