Electrolux raised his head with difficulty and straightened his glasses that were knocked crooked. Looking at the extremely angry Merlin, his eyes instantly turned red. He held his head with both hands and cried in grief: "President Merlin, President Merlin, as the person in charge of the Merlin Chamber of Commerce, I really have no choice! Look at the cost and the price. If we sell it at your previous price, our Chamber of Commerce will lose everything sooner or later and will have to go bankrupt and close down!"
What? When the students present heard this, they were shocked, their expressions froze instantly, and their eyes almost popped out.
What exactly does Electrolux mean by this? They seemed to be trapped in a cloud of fog, full of doubts and completely unable to understand the mystery.
Merlin Chamber of Commerce goes bankrupt? How is this possible? In their minds, President Merlin is an omnipotent being. The Chamber of Commerce he leads must be thriving and profitable. How could it fall to such a state?
"You bastard, how can you make the decision on your own!" Merlin stamped his feet in anger, with a look of disappointment on his face, staring at Alex.
After a moment, he sighed helplessly, turned around slowly, faced the group of shocked students in the audience, and said earnestly:
"My family, my family, what happened today is all my fault. It was my poor management. I didn't expect him to do such a stupid thing behind my back! He actually wanted to sell you this magic sword and staff at such a high price! My family, it was me, Merlin, who betrayed your trust. I was wrong! I was so wrong!"
What the hell? Upon hearing this, the students of the Arcane Academy widened their eyes, their eyeballs seemed to pop out of their sockets, and they stared at Merlin in disbelief.
They couldn't believe their ears. What did the president just say? Selling magic wands and magic swords to them at such a high price? This has to be a joke!
In their opinion, the current price is ridiculously cheap, it is simply a pie in the sky, why would the president say that?
Merlin picked up the magic sword and magic wand on the stage, raised them high, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "My family, look carefully! This superior magic sword made by the dwarf master is not priced at 288, but 188! The grand opening sale is to give you a real discount, just 188 gold coins! 188 gold coins, you can take this extremely sharp and powerful superior magic sword home!"
Wow—as soon as these words were spoken, the audience exploded in an instant, and the students were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
The price was actually reduced by 100 gold coins. It was like a dream, so unreal! They pulled at each other's clothes, repeatedly confirming: "Is this true? This can't be true, right?"
"And this magic wand only costs 300 gold coins, just take it! No need to hesitate!" Merlin struck while the iron was hot and continued to offer big discounts.
When Electrolux heard this, he cried out, "Ah!" and rushed to Merlin's side, hugging Merlin's thighs tightly with both hands, crying heartbrokenly, and kept shouting, "No, no, President Merlin, I know you are thinking about the students wholeheartedly and treat them as your own family, but this is not how business works! If we sell at a loss like this, the Merlin Chamber of Commerce will collapse in no time! Please, don't be impulsive!"
"Shut up, Alex!" Merlin stamped his feet and shouted at the top of his lungs, "I've said it before, as the president of the student union of the Arcane Academy, I vowed to work for the welfare of the students from the moment I was elected! They are my friends and my family, so what if I sell at a loss? Today is the grand opening day of the Chamber of Commerce, I'm happy! Don't let anyone stop me!"
Alex still held Merlin's thighs tightly, crying with snot and tears, and his miserable appearance was moving.
When the students in the audience saw this scene, they were so moved that tears welled up in their eyes uncontrollably and flowed down their cheeks.
A warm feeling surged in their hearts, and they were deeply moved to have such a student union president who cared about them wholeheartedly. Everyone silently said in their hearts: They are truly worthy of being our “family”!
"President Merlin! No need to sell it so cheaply, just sell it at the original price! We support you!" A tall orc broke the silence first, shouting at the top of his voice, trembling with excitement.
"Yes, yes, we can totally accept the original price! Please don't lose money because of us!" The mermaid girl next to her also echoed, her eyes red and full of concern.
"We don't want the president to suffer any loss, and we certainly don't want the Chamber of Commerce to go bankrupt! You have given so much for us, it's time for us to repay you!" An elf student also stood up, waving his arms, excited.
"President, you are so kind to us! We will always remember this friendship in our hearts!" Another student clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to Merlin, with gratitude shining in his eyes.
"Wow, I'm so touched. Since I can remember, only my mother has been so good to me!" A petite female student burst into tears and kept wiping her tears with her sleeves.
Merlin stood on the stage, looking at the group of passionate and sincere students below the stage, and his eyes became slightly moist. He said firmly: "Family members, don't persuade me, this is my responsibility as the president! These benefits are the benefits I fought for you! Don't worry, our Merlin Chamber of Commerce will never go bankrupt! You have to believe in Merlin, believe in the president!"
"We are so touched! President, you are the best!" The students in the audience shouted in unison, and their voices echoed throughout the entire mall for a long time.
This call was filled with their respect and gratitude for President Merlin, as well as their full anticipation for future shopping at the Chamber of Commerce.
At this time, the magic sword and magic wand sales area was in a state of crazy rush! The students went completely crazy. With red eyes, they rushed towards their favorite products like hungry wolves.
Such a cheap price and such a big discount are simply hard to find even with a lantern.
They thought to themselves that President Merlin's Chamber of Commerce was clearly losing money, so how could they bear not to support it? Therefore, they could only buy it with tears in their eyes, and secretly swore in their hearts that they must support President Merlin more in the future!
Merlin was deeply moved when he saw the students frantically buying things. He turned his back and pretended to wipe his tears, but there was nothing he could do as he was afraid that he would not be able to control his facial expression and would grin out loud.
But Alex, who was pretending to cry at his feet, could clearly see the curve in Merlin's mouth that couldn't be suppressed, and his resentful laughter.
