Chapter 155: Naturally Suspicious

Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Naturally Suspicious

Shen Wenhao really had his mind set on the grapes he saw in the morning, and was not there to pick a fight. Hearing her words, he pulled out his wallet, "Keep ten pounds for me, how much per pound? I’ll come to pick them up at nine o’clock tomorrow."

Tong Wen, "Twenty yuan per pound."

"Twenty?" Shen Wenhao flared up.

Just as he was about to lose his temper, Meng Chuyue, with her back to him, spoke loudly, "Xiao Tong, Xiao Xia, tomorrow’s high-quality grapes, apples, and oranges are bigger than last time. The price for all of them has increased by five yuan, now twenty-five yuan per pound.

However, this year’s candidates can enjoy a 20% discount with their admission ticket. Since you’ve agreed to give this customer a price of twenty yuan per pound, then his ten pounds should be priced at twenty yuan per pound."

Shen Wenhao was amused. Just as he was about to lose his temper, several regular customers who were idling in the store to enjoy the air conditioning voluntarily explained to him.

"Young man, don’t misunderstand, the owner isn’t ripping you off. Their fruits are really worth that price. Those who know quality don’t haggle; they just pay directly. You can come see for yourself tomorrow. If it’s not to your satisfaction, then you can lose your temper then."

"You get what you pay for, otherwise you wouldn’t ignore the grapes next door priced at one yuan fifty per pound and insist on buying these, right?"

"That’s right, we’re not deceiving you."

...

One by one, these regular customers each explained a bit and then went over to Meng Chuyue to strike a deal.

"Manager Meng, I’m a regular customer. I don’t have a child taking the college entrance exam this year. Can I borrow someone else’s admission ticket to enjoy the 20% discount?"

"Manager Meng, I have no place to borrow an admission ticket from. Could you consider, since I’m a regular customer, giving me a small discount? Not 20%, but maybe 15% off?"

"..."

Meng Chuyue smiled softly, "You don’t need admission tickets. If you make a deposit and sign today, you can enjoy the 20% discount tomorrow just by using your ID card or household register."

The crowd cheered.

"Really? That’s great!"

"But I didn’t bring enough money. Do I have time to go and get it now?"

"I didn’t bring much money either. I was planning to buy some regular fruits, but now that there are high-quality fruits available, I definitely want to buy a few pounds."

...

Meng Chuyue didn’t turn around, she just smiled in response, "There’s still time, as long as it’s today."

Shen Wenhao, "..."

He seriously suspected that these people were shills for the fruit store.

But, one, he had no evidence, and two, they had previously refused to sell him grapes.

He just threw down two hundred yuan and left.

Tong Wen called for his signature, but one of his subordinates sneered, "No need. I doubt you’d dare to default on the deal."

"..."

After Shen Wenhao walked away, Meng Chuyue quickly went upstairs to get her car keys to pick up Shen Ci, of course not forgetting to bring him a piece of cake in a paper bag to stave off his hunger.

After telling Shen Ci about the encounter with Shen Wenhao in the store, Meng Chuyue sighed, "He won’t come back before tomorrow; we can relax now."

Shen Ci shook his head, "You don’t understand him. He’s inherently suspicious and greedy; he’ll definitely have his men keep watch over the store. We still need to be cautious."

Meng Chuyue was silent for a while, then her eyes lit up, "... I had originally planned to bring in those five thousand pounds of high-quality fruits for sale tomorrow, but now let’s move it to this afternoon. It will scare him off sooner when he sees the big shots coming to buy high-quality fruits."

Shen Ci twitched the corner of his mouth, "You actually got your hands on that kind of fruit again?"

Meng Chuyue gave an awkward laugh, "It wasn’t me who got them. It was my boss; she arranged it like this this morning. But this batch is the only one available for now. Do you want some? If you do, I’ll share some with you at cost."

"How did your boss set the price?"

"He set it at fifteen yuan per pound and told me I could sell it for any price. Any extra I make is my commission. Do you want some? If you do, I’ll share some with you at that price."
