72 She Likes Sincerity
At first, she only thought that Xia Wan was good at bargaining and had good taste. However, later on, she found out the cause of her illness, which made her even more careful of her. She didn’t expect Xia Wan to know so much at such a young age. Now, Sister Hong had already treated Xia Wan as a senior. She couldn’t even repeat what Xia Wan had said.
“Sister Hong will acknowledge you in the future. As long as you say what you want to do, I will actively cooperate with you! We’ll be good business partners from now on!” Sister Hong gushed in a very straightforward manner.
She had set her eyes on Xia Wan and felt she was poised to be more successful than others in the future!
Xia Wan smiled slightly. In her previous life, she was a miracle doctor, and throngs of people lined up to see her. Some even directly invested 100 million yuan. However, at that time, she did not lack money or fame and it was completely up to her mood if she wanted to see the patients or not.
She didn’t feel anything when so much money was thrown around her. But now, looking at Sister Hong’s sincere and trusting eyes, Xia Wan suddenly felt that her chest was filled with strength.
As expected, only the most sincere feelings were the easiest to move.
It was only now, when she had nothing, that others would not have schemes on her. Those who were good to her were the ones who were truly good to her.
Such a simple life made Xia Wan rather contented and happy.
After talking to Sister Hong, Xia Chen took the bag from Xia Wan’s hand, and the two headed to another place.
Xia Wan had her eyes on a stall that specialized in selling hats. In this age, very few people wore hats, even in the hot season However, if you wore a handsome outfit with a hat, you would be the most eye-catching existence in the crowd.
Xia Wan stopped and asked, “Boss, how much is this hat?”
The stall owner was a man in his forties. Seeing that Xia Wan was just a little girl, he thought she was buying a hat for Xia Chen, who was behind her, so he said directly to Xia Chen, “You’ll look good in our hat. I guarantee you won’t get tanned. Look at your handsome face. You won’t look good if you get tanned. My hat is only eight yuan. A ma.s.sive bargain.”
“What? Eight yuan? That’s too much. I’m not buying, not buying.” Xia Chen waved his hands.
His father had to break his back for a month just to earn a measly 300 yuan. This was just a hat, and it cost eight yuan! His father could only afford one with the money he earned every day.
The stall owner looked at the bag in his hand and thought that Xia Chen was also a wholesale businessman, so he was ready to continue persuading him.
“Two yuan each,” Xia Wan said directly. “If you give me that price, I’ll take ten. If they sell, I’ll come back for more.”
The stall owner was dumbfounded. He stared at Xia Wan for five seconds and then looked at Xia Chen.
“You … You’re the one making the decision?” The stall owner pointed at Xia Wan in surprise.
Xia Wan nodded. “Yes, I’m the one who’s going to take the money. This hat costs two yuan at most. If it’s expensive, no one will buy it. If you give them to me for two yuan, I can sell them, and when the sales are good, you can buy more. The more I sell, the more you’ll earn. I’m young too, and I understand the aesthetics of young people better.”
The stall owner was a little hesitant. He felt that Xia Wan’s words made sense, but two yuan was indeed obscenely low.
He stretched out three fingers. “Three yuan. I can’t go any lower.”
Xia Wan smiled. “We’ll be leaving then. We’re not buying.”
She pulled Xia Chen and was about to leave, but Xia Chen followed her obediently.
Unlike Xia Wan’s departure, which was just a means of bargaining, Xia Chen really felt that there was no need to buy this hat. It was hot in the summer, and so be it. They were boys anyway, and they didn’t care if they got tanned. On the contrary, in their village, the tanner one was, the more manly he would seem.
The stall owner saw that the two were really leaving and immediately panicked. He quickly shouted, “Argh! Hey, it’s two yuan for you. Come back, come back.”
This time, Xia Chen was dumbfounded. Even though he had seen Xia Wan’s bargaining skills at Sister Hong’s side, he still found it hard to believe.
With just a few short words, this stall owner had changed his mind.
From eight Yuan to two Yuan, a hat was cut down to six Yuan. It was really magical.
Xia Chen felt his worldview being washed away.
Xia Wan came back and happily, gave the stall owner the money. She chose five styles, and she purchased two of each.
Then, Xia Wan picked out a variety of jewelry, hairpins, leather ropes, and nail polish that girls would wear and put them all into the bag. Xia Chen slowly recovered from the initial shock. He was getting used to this.
