Qiang Xinran looked at the 3,500 yuan Bai Xiao had handed out, a bit stunned; something was off here.
This is... this is...
Ma Yao was amused.
She ran up behind Bai Xiao, hugging his shoulders, "Damn, Bai Xiao, we really didn’t see it coming, our dorm actually has a big shot living in it. Don’t worry, I’ll carry this stuff for you later, I’m strong."
Turning her head, she grinned at Qiang Xinran and Meng Han, "Qiang Xinran, Meng Han, bet you didn’t expect this, huh? Shocked now, aren’t you? 3,500—just thinking about it makes me want to laugh. Truly wealthy and imposing. I enjoyed watching you two show off, and now you’ve been struck by lightning, haven’t you?"
Qiang Xinran snorted coldly, "Humph, just 3,500, what’s so impressive about that? This is just a drop in the bucket to Miss here."
Meng Han looked uncomfortable; she had only 1,000 yuan in her bankbook, plus the 500 in her pocket—that was all the living expenses she had. Her parents weren’t going to give her any more money for the next six months.
If she spent it all today, how was she supposed to survive the rest of the days? She tugged on Qiang Xinran’s arm and whispered, "Maybe we shouldn’t buy it after all."
Qiang Xinran glared, "Do you realize what you’re saying? Do you want those four losers over there to laugh at us?"
She had always been the pride of her department! Beautiful and from a well-off family, at Medical University, she was a top-notch figure. Plus, with the family wealth, many people courted her, and they had a lot of hangers-on enjoying their company—just to freeload off of them. If the word got out that they couldn’t afford this,
What would those people think of them?
Qiang Xinran couldn’t afford to lose face; even if it meant swallowing her pride, she couldn’t let others see her as a laughingstock.
Meng Han complained with injustice, "So much money, there goes all of my living expenses. My parents said they wouldn’t give me any more for the next half-year." Unlike Qiang Xinran, though she also splurged, her parents didn’t have the means to let her easily spend a few thousand yuan.
Qiang Xinran, annoyed at her lack of competitiveness, said, "Fine, out of the 3,500, I’ll pay 2,500. You pay the rest."
Meng Han had no choice but to nod her head in reluctant agreement.
The sales clerk had already packed everything up. Several clerks from the nearby counters came over to help—after all, a transaction this large meant a lot of items sold.
They probably hadn’t made this much in sales for the whole day.
That was a whopping 7,000 yuan all at once.
The manager was probably laughing secretly by now.
The sales at their place included commissions, and that kind-hearted sales clerk auntie still hadn’t realized how she had suddenly sold 7,000 yuan worth of goods. The commission wasn’t much, only two percent,
But that’s still 7,000, which comes out to a nice 140 yuan.
Her monthly salary was only a little over a hundred yuan.
She had sold as much in one day as she made in a month.
Her face was already blooming with a smile, like a sunflower chasing the sun.
"Everything is packed for you, let’s go to the checkout."
Only after payment can you truly be the boss.
Bai Xiao glanced at Qiang Xinran; this was the girl’s chance to back down. They could leave these things and not pay. But if she insisted on being stubborn and went through with the payment, then she had no one to blame but herself.
That glance was mistaken by Qiang Xinran as disdain for her.
Fuming, she picked up the money on the counter and strode to the cashier to make the payment.
Bai Xiao smiled wryly, such a young girl indeed.
And so quick to anger.
They also made their payment.
True to her word, Ma Yao carried two large bags of items, especially with her being tall and strong, following them from behind, she looked just like a female bodyguard.
The four of them walked out of the department store’s main entrance laughing and talking.
