Chapter 553: Chapter 552: The Machete Has Long Been Eager and Impatient

Since they were already preparing to head out, everyone headed outside.

Wang Hao, Xiao Wen, and Jiang Huanyu took Ren Xing’s lavish Land Rover, while Sister Fang and Zhou Zhou shared one car, and Wen Ge and Brother Dao each drove one.

Once everyone was in the cars, Sister Fang set the destination, "Let’s go to Red Star Macalline; they’re already waiting for us there. Today, since we have quite a few people, let’s look around at several stores. If we make a group purchase, we can save a hefty sum."

"That’s right," Wen Ge laughed, "Zhou Zhou’s big knife is already eager to slash some prices! I reckon today we’ll get to really haggle hard again!"

"Come on," Zhou Zhou drank some water, already getting ready, "As soon as those people see we are villa owners, their eyes turn wild like boars, as if they can’t wait to bite a chunk of flesh from us! Just like yesterday with those floorboards, I barely got a twenty-dollar discount after all that haggling, nearly lost my voice!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Sitting in the car, Wang Hao felt pretty good. If nothing else, at least the neighbors seemed easy to talk to, all smiling and very communicative.

Living there in the future, having such neighbors would definitely make daily life more joyful.

"Sister Fang, let’s get going," Wang Hao leaned out from the car and said, "Today let’s aim to land a big one, the house is almost ready for decoration, we can’t drag our feet anymore, the sooner we finish decorating, the sooner we can move in!"

"Absolutely, let’s head out!" Sister Fang laughed in response, put on her sunglasses, and was ready to wield her big knife to bargain.

Red Star Macalline could be considered the largest home decoration and furniture market operator in the Heavenly People’s Republic with the most stores and widest geographical coverage. Nationally, Red Star Macalline operates more than 200 stores across 142 cities in 28 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions, totaling 12,692,393 square meters.

It made sense for Sister Fang and the others to come here directly for furniture and materials.

Of course, the prices might not be so easy to handle...

The eight people in four cars took the third ring road and drove for about twenty minutes, then parked in the underground parking lot of Red Star Macalline.

After getting out of the cars, Wen Ge said, "Let’s go, that store owner just called me again, let’s head up first. Their store is on the fourth floor, we’ll take the elevator."

It’s necessary to say that Red Star Macalline was truly huge. Everyone took the elevator up to the fourth floor and then walked for another seven or eight minutes before they finally found the store.

Wang Hao looked up and noticed a store called Ximala Tiles. He had never heard of the brand before, but anyway, they should first check out the quality.

"Ah, finally here, please come in, come in." Seeing the large group approaching, the store owner hurriedly came out to greet them with a smile, "I’ve been waiting since this morning, and finally, I’ve seen you come."

As everyone entered the store, Wang Hao looked around.

The store was quite spacious, about three hundred square meters, with tiles neatly displayed everywhere, available in various sizes and colors, and there were also many mosaic tiles.

As people sat down, the shop owner had already brought over washed cherry tomatoes, longans, and seeds, showing good service.

"Wow, these tiles are really pretty." Sister Fang looked left and right, continuously exclaiming, "My eyes are dazzled, I don’t even know which ones are the best."

Zhou Zhou also looked around with her, increasingly bewildered, "So many styles, they all look quite nice, ah, what to do?"

"Hehe, do my tiles look alright?" the shop owner saw them getting dazzled and proudly said, "Our Ximala Tiles are authentic imports from Italy, top quality and style assured. If I wasn’t confident, I wouldn’t have invited you all, right?"

"Fair enough," Wen Ge led everyone to sit down on the sofas and then said, "These are all our neighbors from the compound, quite a few people here. If we make a choice, boss, you have to offer the lowest price."

"Sure, sure, sure, rest assured!" the shop owner assured while thumping his chest, "I’m very happy to have you all here today, don’t worry about the price, I guarantee the lowest!"

Brother Dao ate a cherry tomato, then softly patted Wen Ge’s shoulder and whispered, "Wen Ge, we’ve visited quite a few stores recently. What do you think about this one? I just checked the price tag, the tiles here aren’t cheap either, the 80 cm ones start at over two hundred, and the better ones are five to six hundred, a bit pricey."

"Yes," Wen Ge nodded, "I noticed that too, but the boss said the price is negotiable, so let’s see what he says. If it doesn’t work out, we can switch to another store. There are so many tile stores here, we can’t just buy without comparing, right?"

Brother Dao nodded with a smile, "Right, let’s check a few more places, then decide."

At this point, everyone was doing their own thing, checking tiles, coming back to eat fruits, whatever they felt like.

This was actually Xiao Wen’s first time here; Jiang Huanyu took her hand and they wandered around looking. Ren Xing sat next to Wang Hao, nudged him, and quietly asked, "Brother Hao, what do you think?"

"Buying tiles certainly shouldn’t be done rashly," Wang Hao stroked his chin, "after all, tiles play a big part in home decoration, and the choice of tiles greatly affects the style. A poor choice could lower the overall level of the home’s decoration. As for the price, that’s simpler; a good haggle should suffice. The question now is whether everyone likes this store’s tiles."

He had just entered the villa circle and was not very familiar with everyone yet, nor had he grasped the routine, so he was in no hurry to express his opinion.

"Yeah, I feel the same," Ren Xing nodded, "By the way, Brother Hao, have you spotted anything you like? I’ll just follow your lead, saves hassle."

This lazy fatso.

Wang Hao chuckled, "Are you always this casual about your decor?"

"Absolutely," Ren Xing declared matter-of-factly, "Brother Hao, let me tell you, if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t even bother coming! I’d just hire a designer, have it all packaged and done. But Brother Hao, you’re a tough guy. Since high school until now, my biggest takeaway has been following you for good food and drink, hehe, so all I can do is wave the flag and cheer you on from behind."

Wang Hao: "..."

This guy really was simple-minded, probably spent all his brainpower on food!

While they were chatting, they suddenly heard Zhou Liyan and Sister Zhou speaking to the store owner, "Boss, this price is too steep, just a fifteen-yuan discount on tiles that are over two hundred each?!"

Damn, what’s going on?

Wang Hao turned to look and saw that Sister Zhou had already started bargaining with the owner!
