Pretend To Be a Boss

  Chapter 115 Buying clothes

   Tang Xian used the most common and effective method in bargaining.

   It reminded Qiao Shanshan of the scene when she went to the street with her father when she was a child, and went to the fruit street on the second floor to buy melons and fruits.

   "Master, how do you sell this melon?"

   "Ten pieces of ore and three catties."

   "Why did the price increase? Is there less?"

   "That can't be done. The price has always been the same. This is the lowest price. If you go to other places, this melon can cost five yuan a catty!"

   "Look at your age, why are you talking nonsense? I bought it from you last time, ten yuan and eight catties!"

   "Nonsense, why are you talking nonsense out of thin air! When did I sell it for ten yuan and eight catties! I sold it for ten yuan and five catties at most!"

   "Okay, here are ten pieces of ore, give me five catties."

   "..."

  She can still remember the look of the melon seller who wanted to speak but stopped talking and wanted to speak.

  Although Tang Xian used another method.

  But in Qiao Shanshan's eyes, Tang Xian resembled her father in some respects.

  Qiao Shanshan's father is considered the most famous doctor in the local fortress, and has published many important papers in the medical field.

   belongs to the senior intellectuals in the eyes of many people. But he also has a market experience as if he lived at the bottom.

  The same is true for Tang Xian, this person gives Qiao Shanshan an unfathomable feeling from time to time.

   From time to time, I feel that he is cheap.

  Of course, these words can only be psychological activities.

   Right now, she has to cooperate with Tang Xian in acting. Qiao Shanshan looked at her cosmetics with heartache, getting better and better.

  Qing Jiuyu and Bai Mansheng also nodded, and happily agreed to Tang Xian's request.

  Bai Mansheng even felt a little guilty, and said:

   "What else do you want, if I can give it, I will give it together."

   Tang Xian said:

   "Miss Bai, don't be so polite, I don't want anything, just come and sit with me when you find time."

  Bai Mansheng's face was still as indifferent as before, but he was happy in his heart.

   But it didn't take long for this happiness, Qing Jiuyu said:

   "What about me? Brother Xiao Tang, if you invited Sister Bai, why don't you invite others?"

  Bai Mansheng looked at Qing Jiuyu with contempt.

   "Sister Bai, why are you looking at me like that? You know, but I came first, ha ha." Qing Jiuyu smiled coquettishly.

   Tang Xian also expected this result, Bai Mansheng couldn't beat Qing Jiuyu, and bickering was also no match for Qing Jiuyu.

  But in Tang Xian's eyes, neither of these two girls can afford to offend, and Bai Mansheng actually has further potential.

   But it is currently considered a very illusory thing.

   "It's all there. Don't worry, everyone has a share."

   After quelling the incident of two horrific women preparing to go to the human world, and at the same time completing the most profitable transaction in history with a set of cosmetics—

   Tang Xian enjoyed a delicious lunch with everyone.

  Tang Xian cooks mutton this time.

  As the name suggests, it is to eat the mutton with one hand and the bone with the other, while picking off the mutton with a knife.

   However, the meat of the mountain beast given by Qing Jiuyu has no bones, so Tang Xian can make it into a shredded style.

  Put the large pieces of mutton into the pot, add only a little spice, sprinkle some cumin on the surface, a touch of black pepper, match the prepared seasoning, and eat with the seasoning.

   looks very rough.

  So a few women ate some ink. Because I don't want to show an indecent posture.

  After teaching Qing Jiuyu and Bai Mansheng to use knives and forks, especially under the influence of the relatively elegant postures of human Qiao Shanshan and Dongran, the two big bosses are unwilling to eat too rudely.

   In stark contrast, the group of children and the group of men who ate extremely happily.

  Akas and Tang Xian didn't care about their image at all, because eating this kind of cuisine is one aspect, and how to eat it happily is also another aspect.

  It’s like drinking kumiss or vodka. If you drink it like wine, you’ll probably be called a sissy by the locals.

  So the second dish of lamb is also eaten in a similar way-grilled lamb chops.

  This dish pays attention to the control of the heat, but the most important process is here when it is roasted by fire. It is roasted until the outer skin is sauce red, and at this time, the meat inside is at the tender and juicy level.

  Tang Xiaojiu and Tang Suoye have already started their peak duel.

   This time Tang Xiaojiu vowed to restore her dignity as a snack.

   Tang Suoye became a ruthless eating machine after losing his voice.

  The duel between the two did not see the light of the knife, but only the greasy mouth.

   But in an instant, the lamb chops were eaten clean.

  Tang Suoye took twenty-seven seconds.

  Tang Xiaojiu took thirty-three seconds.

  She looked in shock at the young lady who couldn't speak.

  A look of self-doubt appeared on the small face.

  I feel sorry that I am a waste that is six seconds slower than others. These six seconds can eat a lot.

  …

  …

  In the evening, Qing Jiuyu and Bai Mansheng left respectively.

  Dongran and Qiao Shanshan, who were always less than talking, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

  Two children, Tang Suoye and Tang Xiaojiu, are in charge of washing the dishes.

  Dongran thought about everything today, but her brain was still a little dazed.

  She came to Tang Xian, who was sitting on the cool chair, enjoying the rare shade in summer.

"Brother Tang, I found that you don't even blink when you lie. You put those two girls... er... I don't know how to describe them. Anyway, you just give me the feeling... I can't tell when you are telling the truth and when you are telling the truth. Time to tell lies."

   Dongran was a little distressed.

   Tang Xian looked at Dongran with great interest, um, she really got a little fatter.

   "You don't have to care about the truth of what I said."

   Tang Xian understood this distress.

  As a member of the Li family, Dongran has known since she was a child that she only needs absolute obedience and trust, and never has to question anything.

   This girl is stupid. Has a very rare stupid loyalty.

  This quality is not good, but people with this quality are definitely not bad.

  But Tang Xian is largely a friend to Dongran.

"Why?"

"Because I won't harm you. When people are alive, they always have their own unspeakable secrets. For themselves and sometimes for others, we can't always tell the truth. Qing Jiuyu and Bai Mansheng are not human beings. If one day I am not a human being either Now, maybe I will tell them the real world."

   "How can you not be human?"

   "Just an example."

   "If one day they become your friends and start a war with humans, what would you do, Brother Tang?"

   Tang Xian smiled and said:

"Isn't what I'm doing just to avoid these things? Although Bai Mansheng and Qing Jiuyu are beasts, they have human nature. One day, they will be as real as you and countless people. What I'm doing, It is to let them try to accept humans."

   Tang Xian paused, then said with a smile:

   "At least, I'm not the only one who had lunch with the catastrophe-level boss, isn't it?"

  Dongran nodded and found that it was true.

  But I always feel that Brother Tang will run around like this in the future, and there will be some troubles.

  She couldn't figure out why, so she just asked curiously:

   "Brother Tang, if one day, humans and the beasts you are familiar with are going to war? Who will you help?"

   Tang Xian looked at Dongran.

   I probably understand that this is a question crawled out of a woman's intuition.

  He did not perfunctory, but seriously thought about this question for a long time before slowly saying:

   "I should be...helping humans."

  This question Tang Xian found himself unable to determine the answer immediately.

  He frowned slightly, then shook his head again.

  Dongran did not continue to ask. I feel like I'm just delusional.

   Some worse thoughts popped up.

   Tang Xian looked at Dongran's expression of thinking, and felt that it didn't fit Dongran's painting style.

   "Remember one sentence, what people hate is not a lie, but a lie that can be seen through."

  Dongran couldn't understand even more, so he simply stopped thinking about it, nodded to himself, and said:

   "By the way, before I came to the mining area, the second lady told me to remind you to attend the dance on the third floor after I saw you. It seems to be the closing banquet of the hunting event."

"prom?"

   Tang Xian thought that Li Xiaoyu didn't say anything last time, probably because he saw the natural disaster grade soul crystal, or he was forgotten by some of his own words.

   "Well, the hunters and envoys of the various fortresses will leave the next day after the dinner." Dong Ran said.

  Tang Xian probably understood, so he asked:

   "Will all hunters participating in the hunting event participate?"

"Yes."

   "OK, when did it happen?"

   "Just tomorrow night. Are you going?"

   "Go, I have a few people I want to meet."

   "Then I'll go back and report to Second Miss. She must be very happy."

   Tang Xian nodded, and Dongran went to prepare.

  …

  …

the next day. Akas and Tang Suoye stayed in the mining area, they didn't like places that were too lively.

   Tang Xian took Tang Xiaojiu Qiao Shanshan and left the mining area.

  After returning to the residence, Qiao Shanshan was going to take Tang Xiaojiu to her villa on the third floor.

   But before leaving, she looked at Tang Xian and suddenly remembered a big thing.

   "When you go to the dance, you have to change your clothes. With your low-level appearance, no girl will want to dance with you." Qiao Shanshan said.

   Tang Xian said:

   "With Li Xiaoyu here, no girl will dance with me in whatever I wear."

   Qiao Shanshan seemed to think of something.

  From some information revealed by Dongran before, and the enthusiasm for her from the second lady of the Li family, she suddenly understood.

   looked at Tang Xian in disbelief.

   "What are you looking at me for?"

   "I don't think you are particularly handsome. Why do Qing Jiuyu, Bai Mansheng, and Miss Li Er all like you? I look at that girl Dongran and I am superstitious about you."

   Qiao Shanshan felt incredible.

  Tang Xian thought about it seriously. He couldn't see his faceplate, and he couldn't show his charm in the mirror.

  So I'm not sure if I'm handsome or not.

  Women always feel that they are not beautiful enough when they look in the mirror. Most men feel more handsome when they look in the mirror.

   Of course, the real situation is often cruel.

   Tang Xian felt that he could only get a glimpse of his evaluation of his appearance from Liu Lang's previous teasing.

"The owner of the blacksmith's shop is called Liu Lang. He is quite handsome. He is called Takeshi Kaneshiro of the Thirty-Nine Fortress. It is said that the ancestors of his ancestors also have such a title, Nicholas Tse of Baichuan City. He thinks I am also very handsome, and I can be called the third Chen Guanxi, the nineteenth fortress. But it may also be a curse, after all, the young Chen Guanxi and the old Zhao Benshan. Since I am still young, I am probably very handsome.”

   Qiao Shanshan did not recognize these names, and said:

  "Smelly shameless, no matter how handsome you are, you may not even be able to enter the door with this clothes on. No matter how poor a man is, he should have his own suit. It doesn't need to be expensive, but it must fit and be neat."

   Tang Xian nodded, agreeing with what Qiao Shanshan said, although he had never done this before.

   Of course, he is not poor either.

   "You can choose a suit by yourself, I will take Xiaojiu to buy clothes too."

  Based on Tang Xian's previous comments about straight men, Qiao Shanshan felt that Tang Xian still understood some upper-class aesthetics, so she took Tang Xiaojiu and left without thinking too much.

  Tang Xian really didn't think too much about his clothes.

   Instead, I thought of other aspects.

   "It's a good idea. Women's wardrobes and shoe cabinets have always surpassed cosmetics in terms of value and quantity. Qing Jiuyu and Bai Mansheng's channels have been opened, how about more?"

   "But how to turn clothes and shoes into unparalleled treasures, you have to think about it..."

   Tang Xian stroked his chin and began to think.

   It was later, after noon, that he called Li Xiaoyu.

   On the phone, he indicated that he was going to buy a set of clothes, and asked Li Xiaoyu if he had any recommendations.

  Li Xiaoyu was feeling bored, so he asked Tang Xian to go to the third floor, planning to take Tang Xian to buy clothes.

  When he saw Tang Xian, Li Xiaoyu still had the same faint expression as before, like a black cat sizing up a stranger on the window sill.

   Tang Xian could clearly feel that she was much more relaxed.

   Tang Xian didn't ask any further questions, as he expected that Li Xiaoyu had already talked to Song Que.

  Li Xiaoyu did not mention this topic either, but said:

   "I originally asked Dongran to tell you because I thought you wouldn't go to it. After all, this kind of banquet should be very boring to you."

   "It's quite boring. But it's okay to participate once in a while."

  Li Xiaoyu nodded, Tang Xian didn't tell his real motive, so she didn't ask.

  I just thought tonight's dance would be fun.

  Li Xiaoyu took Tang Xian to Cesare Attolini's branch in Fort Thirty-Nine.

  Except for such a store on the third floor of the Italian Fortress, only the Thirty-Nine Fortress has it.

  When Li Xiaoyu approached Cesare Attolini's door, Franco the Golden Scissors waited respectfully aside. After kissing his hands, he arranged for an assistant to bring the clothes.

   Tang Xian was surprised:

"it is done?"

  He wasn't surprised that Li Xiaoyu would bring him to this luxury custom shop to buy suits, but today is not enough time, probably he can only buy finished products. Custom ones shouldn't be too late.

   But unexpectedly, Li Xiaoyu took a set directly.

   "Try to put it on?" Li Xiaoyu looked at Tang Xian expectantly.

   "When will it be done?"

   "Very early."

   "You don't even need to measure the size? You know it fits me."

   "I have your physical examination report every year, every bone, every muscle, and even the growth curve table of body changes. Why do you need to measure your size when making a suit?"

   Tang Xian was silent.

  What she said made sense, but it just sounded like a scene from a horror movie.

  Li Xiaoyu looked around and said with satisfaction:

   "I'll make all your future clothes. If you don't have any clothes, just come and get them. Don't feel bad."

  Franco has only seen such a story in the Italian fortress. The princess brings the poor boy to the royal suit shop to make clothes.

  He is happy to see such a picture, making a poor boy look like a noble son in an instant, this is the charm of Cesare Attolini. Even the position of each button inside will be precisely calculated according to the customer's body data, and the overall beauty will be refined to the extreme.

   "At the banquet tonight, there will definitely be many women who strike up a conversation with you."

   "So you're going to drive them all away?"

   "No, I can buy them if you like."

   "No, I'm only dancing with one person tonight."
