Chapter 227 You've struck it rich?
Li Xuemei looked up and her face immediately showed a panicked expression.
She walked over to Ma Junjie and said,
"Brother Jie, this...this is very valuable...you really..."
Ma Junjie raised his hand to interrupt Li Xuemei.
"Xuemei, it's okay, I've made some money recently."
Upon hearing this, Li Xuemei had nothing more to say.
"Alright, go ahead, I'll wait for you outside."
Ma Junjie noticed a hint of displeasure on Li Xuemei's face.
He knew that Li Xuemei was still worried that he was spending money recklessly.
But we can't worry about that now.
He glanced at Li Xuemei a few times and said...
"Xuemei, wait for me a moment, I'll be right out."
Li Xuemei ignored Ma Junjie.
Ma Junjie smiled, then quickly turned around and went into the shop.
Once inside the store, there were noticeably fewer people.
It looks deserted and quiet.
At first glance, it seems there are more waiters than customers.
Ma Junjie was thinking that Li Xuemei was still waiting outside, and he was also worried that she might suddenly run away.
So without much consideration, I quickly started making my selection.
In just five or six minutes, he chose a jacket and then a white shirt.
I was also thinking of picking out a pair of jeans,
After thinking about it, I realized that the jeans I bought from Metersbonwe last time were still wearable, so I gave up on them.
The salesperson was utterly dumbfounded when she saw Ma Junjie pick up two pieces of clothing.
"You...you really want to buy it?"
Ma Junjie noticed the salesperson's puzzled expression, tinged with disdain.
Ma Junjie was somewhat displeased.
However, still wanting to make the most of the time, and too lazy to argue with the salesperson, he simply pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket and said,
"Let's go, where do we pay?"
The salesperson's attitude changed drastically the moment he saw the money in Ma Junjie's hand.
"Boss... boss, come here, come here!"
"Haha, boss, you have excellent taste! You've chosen Seven Wolves. Our clothes are number one in global sales!"
Ma Junjie could only laugh when he heard that.
Number one in global sales? Why not say number one in the entire universe?
Finally, when settling the bill,
Ma Junjie's smile vanished instantly.
A jacket costs 799, and a shirt costs 299.
Damn it, this isn't selling clothes, it's robbing people.
Ma Junjie hesitated for a moment, then stood on tiptoe to look outside.
Through the glass, I saw Li Xuemei with her head down and a worried expression on her face.
Ma Junjie steeled himself, gritted his teeth, and took out the money, saying...
"Okay, how much? I'll pay!"
"Hurry up and pack it up for me!"
The salesperson's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly,
"The boss is really straightforward!"
"That'll be 1098 yuan in total!"
Ma Junjie asked subconsciously,
"Everyone's having sales and discounts, so how about you give me a discount of just a fraction of the price?"
Upon hearing this, the salesperson immediately straightened up and said seriously,
"Boss, this might be your first time buying from our store."
"We at Seven Wolves have a rule: our clothes are clearly priced, we never offer discounts, and we never have promotions."
"Damn it!" Ma Junjie cursed inwardly.
"These seven wolves, are they really that awesome?"
"Your stuff is expensive, and you don't even offer discounts. Let's see when you go bankrupt!"
Ma Junjie didn't bother arguing with the salesperson any longer, took out 1,100 yuan, and said...
"Keep the change!"
After saying that, he picked up the packed clothes and walked out the door.
The salesperson was overjoyed to see the deal closed so quickly and smoothly.
They shouted enthusiastically from behind.
"Take care, boss! Welcome back next time!"
Ma Junjie thought to himself,
Unless you offer a discount, only a fool would buy from me next time.
Ma Junjie quickly walked out of the shop with his things and looked towards the crowd.
Thankfully, a weight was lifted from my shoulders; Li Xuemei was still there waiting for me.
Ma Junjie laughed and walked to Li Xuemei's side.
"Xuemei, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"
"Come on, Xuemei, let me treat you to something to eat!"
Li Xuemei glanced at the two bags Ma Junjie was carrying.
asked,
"Brother Jie, those clothes must have cost a lot of money."
"Fine, I won't eat your food, so you won't run out of money and have to drink water every day."
Ma Junjie smiled brightly.
"Xuemei, don't worry about the money."
"Don't worry, I can afford to buy you two outfits and treat you to a meal."
"Huh!" Li Xuemei looked at Ma Junjie with a surprised expression.
"Brother Jie, tell me, how much did these two outfits cost?"
Ma Junjie paused for a moment and then replied,
"It's alright, not as expensive as I imagined."
"A jacket and a shirt, totaling 499 yuan."
"Ah?!" Li Xuemei screamed.
"Brother Jie, have you struck it rich? You call this not expensive?"
"At the clothing store I mentioned, you can buy two really good items for 99 yuan, saving you 400 yuan!"
Ma Junjie smiled and nodded.
But in his heart he was thinking that he was glad he hadn't revealed the real price.
If you tell her that two pieces of clothing cost 1,100 yuan, then... she will definitely turn around and leave on the spot!
Ma Junjie said,
"Xuemei, you know I'm not a big spender or a wasteful person."
"I just need two nicer outfits for my job, so I'm splurging on them for work!"
"Huh!" Li Xuemei showed a disdainful expression.
"Brother Jie, what exactly is your job?"
"I asked you, but you wouldn't tell me, acting all mysterious!"
Ma Junjie laughed heartily.
"Xuemei, now is not the time. I will tell you in a while."
"Never mind, never mind!" Li Xuemei waved her hand at Ma Junjie.
He said with a sigh,
"Brother Jie, the way you are reminds me of a poem I used to really like."
"Oh, what poem?" Ma Junjie asked with great interest.
Li Xuemei blurted it out seriously.
"I offered my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shone on the gutter."
"Uh..." Ma Junjie suddenly felt embarrassed.
"Xuemei, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that the opportunity hasn't been there..."
Li Xuemei ignored Ma Junjie and walked ahead on her own.
The two walked out of the shopping street.
Seeing Li Xuemei's state, Ma Junjie knew she definitely didn't want to eat anymore.
He bought some snacks and fruit on the way, but he didn't dare to buy too much, for fear that Li Xuemei would get angry again.
"Xuemei, if you're not going to eat, let's go back."
Li Xuemei was startled and turned to look at Ma Junjie.
"Are you going back to Xingda Toy Factory too?"
Ma Junjie nodded.
"Um!"
"Xuemei, I've rented a new place outside Xingda now. It's cheap, good quality, and very spacious."
Li Xuemei scoffed.
She still harbored resentment towards the courtyard where Ma Junjie used to live.
Of course, Ma Junjie did not tell Li Xuemei that the courtyard was a haunted house.
When Li Xuemei heard that Ma Junjie had moved again, she frowned and complained.
"Brother Jie, you're here to work, so you need to be careful with your money."
"Otherwise, given your situation, you wouldn't be able to save any money even after working for several years..."
Ma Junjie nodded.
"Xuemei, I know what you mean, and I agree with you."
"You know, and you still... sigh!" Li Xuemei sighed heavily, feeling a bit disappointed in her.
Ma Junjie knew that Li Xuemei cared about him.
She's a little younger than me, but she acts more like an older sister and a mother, always worrying about me.
Ma Junjie laughed.
"Alright, alright, Xuemei, I've remembered what you said. I'll work hard to earn and save money."
"Xuemei, why don't you come and take a look at my new house?"
"The house is very spacious, and it even has several bedrooms!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xuemei slowly looked at Ma Junjie.
After thinking for a moment, he said,
"Alright, I've got nothing else to do anyway, I'll go with you to take a look!"
