Chapter 23 Encountering a Black-Hearted Boss



Li Yuanhai was looking at the gold bracelet, his eyes full of surprise, "Such a big gold bracelet, the ancestors must be from a wealthy family."

Tian Hengyuan nodded and said, "My mother's dowry was passed down to her by my grandmother."

"Great stuff." Li Yuanhai praised it repeatedly and asked, "How much do you want to pay for it?"

This question stumped Tian Hengyuan.

Tian Chengcheng asked, "How much do you usually charge? Is there any standard?"

Only then did Li Yuanhai notice Tian Chengcheng. The little girl was not very big and was dressed very casually. If she didn't speak, he would not notice her. But if he looked closely, he would find that her eyes were shining with brilliance, and she looked like a knowledgeable child.

After looking at Tian Chengcheng for a few times, Li Yuanhai still revealed his cunning businessman and directly stretched out five fingers towards Tian Hengyuan.

"Five hundred yuan?" Tian Hengyuan's voice trembled.

Five hundred dollars is a huge sum of money!

As soon as Li Yuanhai saw Tian Hengyuan's expression, he knew something was going to happen. He was about to speak but then held back when he heard a laugh.

"Pfft, uncle, you really know how to joke!" Tian Chengcheng's eyes curved with laughter. "The boss said five thousand."

"Five thousand?" Tian Hengyuan was so shocked that he didn't know what to do. "Brother Li, this gold bracelet is five thousand yuan?"

Li Yuanhai's mouth twitched. He looked at Tian Chengcheng and said with a smile, "Only kids love to joke around. Do you know how much five thousand yuan is?" Then he turned to Tian Hengyuan and said, "Five hundred yuan is already a high price. Don't worry, brother, I won't lie to you. If you don't believe me, go ask around. Everyone knows that I, Li Yuanhai, am a business man of integrity. Otherwise, how could I have been doing this for over a decade? I would have gone bankrupt long ago!"

Tian Hengyuan is really inexperienced and doesn't know how much things are worth.

But for him, five hundred yuan is really a huge sum of money!

In his entire life, he had never seen even fifty yuan, let alone five hundred.

He also felt that Li Yuanhai was a very enthusiastic person and did not look like a bad person.

Tian Chengcheng leaned on Tian Hengyuan's legs and watched Li Yuanhai perform. After he finished, she asked, "Uncle, how much is gold per gram?"

"Kids won't understand even if you ask. Go play over there for a while. I'm talking business with your uncle. We'll exchange a lot of money and buy you a lot of things." Li Yuanhai hurriedly sent Tian Chengcheng away.

This little girl looks silly in her dress, but I didn't expect she is so smart.

"I saw the gold price. It says 83 yuan per gram. We weighed this bracelet before we left. Although the scale is a little off, it's not too far off. This bracelet weighs 70 grams." Tian Chengcheng blinked her big eyes and asked Tian Hengyuan, "Uncle, you're a college student. Can you calculate 70 grams and 83 yuan per gram? How much is it in total?"

"...83 yuan per gram?" Tian Hengyuan was shocked.

He had heard that gold was expensive, but he had never touched it, let alone imagined that gold was so expensive!

"Five thousand eight hundred and ten dollars?"

Li Yuanhai's face turned very ugly. He was about to get away with it and make a fortune today, but was ruined by a little girl. However, he didn't want to miss the business that came to his door.

So he smiled and said, "That's the selling price. Of course it's cheap. Look at my shop expenses, the store clerk's expenses, and I have to support my family. I have to make a profit."

"Uncle, the difference between five thousand eight and five hundred is five thousand three. The price difference is too big! You are asking for too much. No wonder the old people in our village call those who do business as profiteers. They say that there is no business without profiteers." Tian Chengcheng explained seriously.

But what he said could make people angry to death.

Li Yuanhai was very angry.

"Children don't understand. I took the product and had to find someone to remake it into the current style. If the product doesn't sell, I have to bear the risk of holding it in my hands."

Li Yuanhai tried his best to maintain a smile.

He really didn't expect that a little girl could be so difficult to deal with.

"Then how much do you want?" Tian Chengcheng asked.

"Five hundred is already the highest price. If you don't believe me, go ask somewhere else—"

Before Li Yuanhai finished speaking, he saw the little girl dragging Tian Hengyuan out, "Uncle, let's go ask somewhere else."

Tian Chengcheng pulled Tian Hengyuan and winked at him.

Tian Hengyuan has never seen the world, but he is not stupid.

At this time, he naturally understood that the boss was ripping him off, so he immediately stood up and said with a smile on his face: "Brother Li, let's go ask around somewhere else first."

In one sentence, Li Yuanhai almost fainted from anger.

But he couldn't get angry. Tian Hengyuan looked silly and sincere, and obviously didn't understand that his words were just polite.

"Xiaotian, Brother Li really won't cheat you. Even if you go to the lobby, there's nothing else to offer you. Others will offer you three hundred at most." Li Yuanhai hurriedly grabbed him and said, "How about this, considering it's not easy for you to come here from such a long distance, five hundred and fifty is the highest."

"No, at least five thousand five hundred." Tian Chengcheng said directly.

"Little boy, please stop making trouble. Go play somewhere else. We are here to talk business seriously." Li Yuanhai now just wanted to get Tian Chengcheng away.

This little girl is so smart.

"Five thousand five hundred yuan. If you want to buy it, take the money. If not, we can go ask somewhere else. We've already walked a long way and are already in the city. We don't mind walking a few more steps. Let's just take a stroll around the city and broaden our horizons."

Tian Chengcheng smiled sweetly but did not give in at all.

Li Yuanhai almost vomited blood and was about to persuade Tian Hengyuan.

Tian Hengyuan said, "Listen to Fubao! Fubao is our family's lucky god, whatever she says goes."

"Fubao? I think it's more appropriate to call her Renjing." Li Yuanhai muttered.

"If you don't believe me, forget it. Fubao just picked up a wild boar that it had killed two days ago and exchanged it for two thousand kilograms of food. She also picked up wild rabbits, pheasants, etc. How can she make it rain if she wants to?" Fu Xinhan stood up and said.

Of course Li Yuanhai didn't believe it. Besides, one kid was already annoying enough, and now another one showed up...

"What a boastful child! She even said it would rain, and it would rain. Why don't you just say she's the reincarnation of a god?" Li Yuanhai's tone turned hostile, and he immediately pulled out his trump card. "If you don't believe me, forget it. But I'm telling you, five hundred and fifty is the highest price. If you go out and come back, the most I'll give you is five hundred. Don't regret it."

Tian Hengyuan looked at Tian Chengcheng.

"Uncle, let's go out for a walk. What are you afraid of?" Tian Chengcheng winked at him.

"Okay, let's go out for a walk. You won't regret it. It's only five hundred yuan at most." Tian Hengyuan said, put away the bracelet and was about to leave.

Li Yuanhai followed silently until he reached the door. He couldn't hold it in any longer and said, "Alright, come back. One thousand yuan, I really can't give you more. I'm really scared of you."

Tian Chengcheng refused to give in.

Tian Hengyuan also understood his boss's routine, so he walked away without saying a word.

Seeing that the business he had obtained was about to be lost, Li Yuanhai grabbed Tian Hengyuan and stopped him from leaving.

"Xiaotian, you've been here for quite some time now, you've seen the goods, and you've had tea. It wouldn't be appropriate to just leave like this. For one thousand yuan, we'll have this deal done. Otherwise, we'll have to talk it over."

Although it was just a talk, Li Yuanhai's attitude clearly showed that he was trying to act tough.
