Chapter 3687 Cut it into minced meat for me
crunch--
The shop door was closed at this time.
The shop assistants quietly approached, and the group subtly formed a circle around Xiaobai, like a pack of wolves surrounding an innocent lamb.
The two shop assistants who had been kicked out of the shop by the owner, Brother Li, were now leisurely smoking outside. They chatted and laughed outside in a roguish manner while observing the activity inside and outside the shop. Their eyes were filled with a cold and triumphant look, as if they considered Xiaobai as their own.
As the shop assistants approached, Xiaobai remained calm and composed.
Even under everyone's gaze, Xiaobai raised his hand and looked at his palm.
Just now... it was store manager Brother Li who deliberately tossed the camera into his palm, and then, before he could even grab it properly, caused the camera to slip from his hand and fall to the ground, where it was damaged.
So that's how it works.
The saying "jade should not be handled too closely" probably refers to this principle.
Xiao Bai lowered her hand, a faint smile appearing on her lips.
It seems they don't only know one trick.
Xiao Bai understood something.
Even if you don't spend your own money to buy these things, these people who have long regarded you as prey will probably have plenty of ways to embellish you in order to squeeze every last drop of profit out of you.
Just as his scheme succeeded and the trap was set, Brother Li, with a hint of smugness, gathered his employees and looked at Xiao Bai.
In Li Ge's judgment, the young girl in front of him exuded an air of nobility. During their conversation, her words also subtly revealed a sense of indifference towards money, as if it were just numbers to her. Therefore, it was highly likely that her family was well-off and not short of money.
Brother Li was very much looking forward to seeing what kind of expression the young girl would make after realizing she had lost more than 200,000 yuan.
Will it cry? Will it be afraid? Will it beg for mercy?
Will I still feel regret, anger, or even remorse?
No matter what the young girl in front of him says or does, he is determined to get the 240,000 yuan today.
Brother Li thought to himself, his gaze falling on Xiaobai.
Then, looking at Xiaobai's expression, Brother Li suddenly frowned, a strange look appearing in his eyes.
...Is she laughing?
Brother Li clearly saw that Xiao Bai, who was surrounded by the ill-intentioned crowd, did not show any fear, anger, or regret. Instead, she sat quietly in her chair, her feet firmly planted on the mechanical fragments scattered on the ground, with a faint smile on her lips.
Xiao Bai's quiet demeanor stood out from the ill-intentioned shop assistants around him.
It's like a fawn that, despite clearly sensing several hyenas baring their long teeth, drooling, and staring with bloodshot eyes as they approach step by step, continues to stand on the water's surface, head bowed, drinking.
It's really a bit jarring.
What is she laughing at?
...Was she terrified?
The strange look on Brother Li's face gradually intensified, but he quickly realized that he couldn't lose his rhythm. Then he laughed and spoke to Xiaobai.
"Oh dear... young lady, it seems you'll have to compensate your uncle with 240,000." Brother Li, regaining his composure, said leisurely, "You probably didn't have enough money in your bank account, right? No problem, no problem, your uncles won't make things difficult for you. You can have your parents or relatives come over, and once they've made up the difference, your uncles will let you go, how about that?"
"So, Uncle, you mean I can't leave here unless I give you the money?" Xiao Bai looked up and asked Brother Li.
"Hey, that's right." Brother Li was pleased with Xiao Bai's thoughtfulness. The strange feeling that had been rising in his heart after seeing Xiao Bai's smile also dissipated at this moment.
"Two hundred and forty thousand..." Xiaobai lowered his head and sighed, seemingly with some regret.
"Young lady, it's not that I'm not giving you a chance, it's just that our shop has its own rules." Brother Li thought that Xiaobai felt the price was a bit too high, so he immediately said with a smile, "Triple compensation is our rule, we're not targeting you. How about this, give me your parents' phone number first, and I'll handle the communication for you?"
"Is there any need to communicate about something that's only a little over 200,000?"
Unexpectedly, the first thing Xiaobai said left Brother Li completely bewildered.
"what?"
"Two hundred and forty thousand? I have that much," Xiaobai said.
"...?" Brother Li stared at Xiaobai, frowning. "Little girl, you just said you only had 10,000 yuan in your card. I know you lost more than 200,000 yuan. If your family finds out, they'll definitely punish and scold you. But if you don't make up the money for your uncles, you won't be able to go back home."
“I really do have it,” Xiaobai shook her head. “I have it in my card.”
"Really?" Brother Li asked doubtfully.
"My mom says you shouldn't flaunt your wealth, so I can't tell anyone I have this much money," Xiao Bai said to Brother Li with a smile.
"..." Brother Li fell silent.
"..." The shop assistants around Brother Li also fell silent.
Everyone thought Xiaobai's words were a bit outrageous, but looking at Xiaobai sitting in the chair with a calm and smiling expression, they inexplicably felt that she wasn't just talking big.
"show you."
In front of everyone, Xiaobai took out his phone, opened the payment app, and showed everyone his balance.
Brother Li and the shop assistants gathered around and took a look.
The next second, Brother Li and the shop assistants gasped.
The payment interface that Xiaobai showed to everyone displayed a long, bright string of numbers that was quite impressive.
"I am the best!!!"
"Over a million!!! You have over a million!"
"See, I have it." Xiaobai put the phone away and said to everyone.
As everyone stared at Xiaobai's phone, their eyes turned red. Their breathing became heavy, and they even felt an irresistible urge to pounce on him and snatch the phone away.
But just as the shop assistants were about to rush forward, Brother Li stopped them.
"Watch out, everyone! We're here to run a business, not to rob you!" Brother Li reprimanded his employees with a serious expression.
The shop assistants, looking obsequious, retreated with fawning smiles.
In an instant, the tense atmosphere surrounding Xiaobai dissipated, and the shop assistants even began to serve Xiaobai tea and water, with everyone showing ingratiating and amiable smiles.
"Hey... Miss, you've been here for so long, how about something to drink?"
"We have bottled water, juice, soda, and coffee..."
The crowd around Xiaobai kept talking.
Xiao Bai sat in the chair with a smile, looking at Brother Li.
Brother Li was also feeling a pang of heartache.
Damn... if I had known this little girl had so much money, I should have said more in the first place...
Damn, she's a rich woman!
Who would carry so much money with such a young girl when she goes out?
Brother Li coughed.
"Ahem, um... customer, the money you have on you... it should be from somewhere legitimate, right?"
"Don't worry, these are all mine," Xiaobai nodded and said with a smile.
Actually, the money in Xiaobai's card... is indeed from a legitimate source. It's all the salary Xiaobai earned as an admiral over the past two years. It's not the property of the newbie naval base; it belongs solely to Xiaobai.
As for the composition of this money, it includes not only the majority of the monthly salary of an admiral, but also the attendance expenses for a series of business trips, the bonus for conquering the eighth chapter of the strategy, and the bonus for winning first place in various sea activities, etc. Compared with the salaries of ship girls, Xiaobai earns more than most humans, but it is nothing compared to the ship girls. In addition, Xiaobai sends about half of the money she earns back to her parents back home, which makes her personal bank account figure seem a bit meager compared to the ship girls.
Therefore, Xiaobai's salary is indeed among the lowest in the newbie garrison.
Her salary is estimated to be only higher than that of some of the deep-sea deans in her family who spend all day slacking off and sleeping in, doing almost nothing of substance, and simply serving as decorative vases.
Of course, the majority of the funds controlled by Xiaobai actually come from the finances of the newbie naval base.
However, that thing was nominally no less powerful than Xiaobai's. If he showed it to this group of people, they would probably be so scared that they would think Xiaobai was using pirated software, so Xiaobai didn't take it out.
"Ah, it came from the right source, it came from the right source."
Brother Li looked at Xiaobai, sighed deeply, and turned to the shop assistants.
"Look, this little girl is just lucky to be born into such a good family, and she has so much money. Meanwhile, we brothers work hard every day and night, and we don't even earn as much as her pocket money."
"Damn it!"
The shop assistants said in unison, their eyes filled with envy and jealousy as they looked at Xiaobai.
Xiao Bai naturally ignored Brother Li and the shop assistants.
"Little girl, since you have money, then I won't waste any more words with you. Scan this card, and that's it for today." Brother Li said to Xiaobai, reaching out to grab her phone.
Xiao Bai moved his phone behind him, dodging Brother Li's hand.
"What are you doing?" Brother Li's expression immediately turned displeased when he saw Xiaobai dodge away.
"You only want 200,000?" To Brother Li's bewilderment, Xiao Bai looked at him with an obedient gaze and asked.
"what?"
"Only two hundred thousand? That's not enough." Xiaobai sighed regretfully. "Think about it. How many times in a lifetime do you get the chance to meet a customer like me? How can you not squeeze more out of me?"
"...?"
Brother Li looked at Xiaobai with a face full of question marks.
Wait, is this what rich women like to do these days?
"Young lady, we also have professional ethics, you know?" Brother Li seemed a little unhappy.
"Professional ethics, right? It's okay, I have a way." Xiaobai stood up with a smile. In everyone's view, she leaned against the transparent glass panel behind her, then pointed to the cameras inside the glass panel. "How about this, you take these cameras out and chop them into minced meat for me, and I will compensate you three times the price of these cameras according to the store's rules."
Chapter 3688 A Woman Falls from the Sky
Do not know why.
Looking at Xiaobai, everyone suddenly felt that this cute girl who had just seemed calm and innocent seemed to have undergone some subtle changes in her temperament.
She seems to have become a bit mischievous.
"Young lady, you must be joking," Brother Li said. "Cameras are made of plastic or metal casings and glass lenses. They're not like fatty meat or lean pork. You expect us to chop them up like minced meat?"
"Is it not okay?" Xiaobai asked.
"...You're really going to give me the money?"
"I really will." Xiao Bai turned his head to look at the cameras worth hundreds or thousands of yuan in the glass cabinet, and smiled sincerely at everyone. He was honest and earnest. "If it's triple compensation, your profit margin is over 300%, right? My mother said that no one in this world can refuse a profit margin of over 300%."
"...Are you serious?"
"Yes."
How can we trust you?
"I'm just a little girl, how could I possibly run away?" Xiaobai covered her mouth, looking weak and helpless.
"..."
The store remained silent.
The only sound was the breathing of the shop assistants.
At this moment, for some reason, everyone looking at the fair-skinned and clever little girl in front of them felt as if they had been turned into the host.
This is wrong both emotionally and logically.
But unfortunately... she gave just too much.
"..." Brother Li gritted his teeth and shouted at the shop assistants around him, "What are you all standing there for! Take out your cameras!"
"Oh, oh, oh, oh!" The shop assistants immediately rushed forward, and everyone ran behind the counter to take out the cameras one by one from the glass case.
Another employee ran to the back door of the shop and brought out a cutting board and a knife from the kitchen.
"Sir, take a good look, this is the camera you wanted." A salesperson stepped forward and showed a camera to Xiaobai. "This camera is priced at 1688, but if you triple that, it will be..."
"No need to calculate, I'll give you six thousand," Xiaobai said.
"Okay, okay!" The shop assistant immediately ran to the cutting board with the camera, picked up a cleaver, and was about to start attacking the camera.
"Wait a minute." Just then, Xiaobai suddenly called out to the shop assistant.
"Huh? What's wrong?" The shop assistant stopped mid-air, holding a cleaver.
"Let the shop owner do it himself." Xiao Bai looked at Brother Li. "I specifically asked the shop owner to cut it."
