Chapter 72: Chapter 72 Jiang Li Resembles an Early Capitalist
Jiang Yan was still griping when suddenly a fair hand reached out beside him, picking up a few cards and handing them to Director Sun.
“I’ll take these, thank you.”
In an instant, five pairs of eyes stared over in unison.
They had almost forgotten.
There was one person here who truly didn’t have to worry about the good score.
Director Sun chuckled as he took the cards and counted them, “One weeder, a pair of gloves, one hoe, one sun hat, one pair of rubber shoes, a total of 11.5 points.”
Qi Tianyu immediately voiced his envy, “My lord, Jiang Li is so rich.”
Jiang Yan and Wen Jiaojiao were one part envious and itching to the teeth, the other part so frustrated that they clenched their fists.
He Yun maintained her silence, and after Jiang Li had turned and left, she also handed over her chosen items to the director.
“A pair of gloves, one hoe, totaling 1.5 points.”
Director Sun called out, and immediately a staff member took note of it.
[My goodness, the Movie Emperor only exchanged for so few things.]
[Brother is so thrifty, such a low-profile and quiet person you folks insist is uppity, really now.]
[Exactly, just because he doesn’t like to talk means he’s low-profile? When he drove that young lady into depression, why didn’t you all speak up then?]
Seeing this, Qi Tianyu also hurriedly selected the items he needed.
Just like He Yun, he couldn’t bear to take items like sun hats either, but he still couldn’t help but feel the pinch when 1.5 points were deducted.
Wen Jiaojiao and Shu Yan also successively exchanged for items.
One spent 5 points, the other 4 points.
Director Sun looked at the exchanged goods and smacked his lips, “Look, the production team even prepared weeders for you all, yet not a single one of you switched. Now, don’t say I was too harsh.”
Wen Jiaojiao, who had just put on her hat said, “Director Sun, you have the nerve to say that, besides Jiang Li, who among us could afford to swap?”
But with that, Jiang Li’s total score was no longer higher than hers.
Tired as it might be, at least she still had a chance to win first place!
However, five minutes passed, and Jiang Yan still hadn’t made a move.
Director Sun intentionally picked up the loudspeaker to remind him, “Prices will rise in two minutes, those who haven’t exchanged please pay attention.”
But Jiang Yan bypassed him, sneaking up to Jiang Li.
“Hey, can I borrow your tools? I’m your dear brother, your only blood brother, can you bear to see me left without a single point?”
Jiang Li glanced at him, “Sure.”
The straightforward reply made all the pre-prepared coaxing and arguing from Jiang Yan redundant.
“Really?” he asked incredulously once more.
“Of course,” Jiang Li nodded.
[Something seems off about Jiang Li, why is she suddenly being so nice to her brother?]
[I remember now! Wasn’t she chosen to be the Knight last night? She might have drawn Jiang Yan as the King.]
[Very likely! This morning when she made breakfast for Jiang Yan, I sensed something wasn’t right. With her temper, she should’ve left him hungry!]
But just as Jiang Yan was gleefully preparing to take the items from Jiang Li’s hands, her indifferent tone drifted into his ears.
“You can use my things, for 5 points.”
“5 points?! Are you asking for the moon?” Jiang Yan exclaimed in a suppressed voice.
“The tools I bought back for eleven points, giving them to you for five is not excessive,” Jiang Li said. “I’ve looked over this land. It’s wasteland that’s been left untended for a long time. The grass growing here is all Cyperus with extremely developed root systems. If you just use the hoe, it will probably take a whole day to deal with, working under the scorching sun all day, or you can choose the shortcut. Think about it.”
Jiang Yan fell silent.
It wasn’t just because of her methodical analysis but also because of her utterly indifferent tone that didn’t take others’ feelings into account.
Does this guy really know they’re siblings?!
“Fine,” Jiang Yan gritted his teeth, “5 points for 5 points, give me all your stuff.”
“5 points is the price for the weed cutter, if you want the rest, another 3 points,” Jiang Li said expressionlessly.
“What the hell? Are you jacking up the price on me?!” Jiang Yan snapped.
Jiang Li leisurely turned to look at him. “I’ve always been talking about the price of the weed cutter; when did I say everything? If you can’t afford it, then just rent the weed cutter.”
Jiang Yan’s gaze gradually filled with resentment.
First, he hated it most when people said he couldn’t afford things.
Are you kidding me? Aside from gold and silver mines, what can’t he afford in this world?
Second, without things like the sun hat, he’d die.
He did not want to work under the blazing sun like He Yun and Qi Tianyu, coming back after a day with skin both red and black from the sunburn.
His skincare products had already been taken away; if this continued, how would he maintain his perfect and impeccable appearance?
Thinking about this, Jiang Yan patted her hand in distress.
“Eight points for eight points; I’ll just earn it back after today!”
Jiang Li smiled. “But actually, I could give you all these things for 5 points.”
Was playing him really that entertaining?
“You’ll also have to weed my field.”
Finally, Jiang Yan caught on. “Damn it, so you’ve been waiting for me to do this? Why the hell should I weed for you?”
Jiang Li blinked innocently, “Isn’t it because you wanted a discount that I resorted to this? If you’re unwilling, then forget it.”
“Hey hey hey,” Jiang Yan ran his hand through his hair in irritation, “Fine, fine, fine, I’ll till your land, but I’m only giving you three points, not a point more.”
Jiang Li agreed exceptionally quickly, directly handing over all the cards in her hand to him, which left Jiang Yan somewhat baffled.
But the viewers in the live stream saw it all too clearly.
Jiang Li was setting a trap for Jiang Yan step by step!
She had intended from the start to make Jiang Yan till her land.
The reason for such a high initial price was to pave the way for her final demand.
Poor Jiang Yan, having lost both people and points, stood on the ridge of the field, his face full of confusion.
[LOL, I thought the young master would be Jiang Li’s guardian, but it seems not at all.]
[How can the young master be so silly, I can’t take it anymore, to agree to such terms of fleece.]
[Jiang Li is like an early capitalist.]
But there were also voices of discontent mingled in, thinking Jiang Li’s actions were over the top, that she was explicitly making things difficult for Jiang Yan to do her tasks, which had been assigned by the program team to each of them.
On the other hand, Director Sun also noticed the small transaction between the two and immediately stepped forward to raise objections.
“Hey hey hey, how can you two make private deals behind my back?”
Jiang Li met his scrutinizing gaze frankly, “Did the program team say we can’t make private deals?”
He had forgotten about that part.
[HAHAHAHAHAHA, this is the first time I’ve seen Director Sun speechless.]
[Those who talk about our Lili should learn well; Sister Li is fully utilizing her intelligence for her own benefit, and some are just sour grapes because they can’t have it.]
