Right at this moment, the woman in front of him gave him the illusionthat he had finally met someone fitting his criteria.
“Okay, this was our very first public sale. And, indeed, you were notable to bid on anything. We will make an exception as this was your firsttime.”
As soon as she has finished saying that, all the disappointed unaffiliatedperked up and shouted excitedly, “Maid Cheng, what do you have in mind?”
“Maiden Cheng, does that mean we will all have an opportunity to buyfrom the Cheng’s?”
“Maiden Cheng, please share your ideas, quickly!”
“……”
Everybody shouted out urgently and Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled brightly,“Calm down. A portion of you will have the opportunity to purchase, noteveryone. We don’t have that much inventory to sell to everyone. Now it’s alldown to your luck!”
“…..”
The ma.s.s stopped asking questions and just stared at her with their eyeswidened and ears perked, fearing that they’d miss even one word.
“You still remember that bamboo stick that you have purchased with onemystical stone? There’s a number on each of the bamboo sticks. If your stickhas “2” or “8” in it, you will have the opportunity to purchase from us!”
“2 and 8? Look, quick!”
Those who didn’t think much of the bamboo sticks immediately looked fortheir own bamboo stick to see if they have the opportunity to purchase from theCheng’s.
“HAHAHA, I have a ‘2’!”
“Oh my lord, I have an ‘8’!”
“I have a ‘2’ also!”
“’8’! ‘8’! I have an ‘8’!”
“Dang! I have neither ‘2’ nor ‘8’!”
“That’s so unfortunate! I don’t have ‘2’ or ‘8’ either!”
“Awwww, man. How am I so unlucky? I would take either ‘2’ or ‘8’…..”
“…..”
Everybody started shouting with their bamboo sticks in their hands. Somewere happy, naturally some were not. Those were the only two expressions thatone could find among the attendees right now. The happy ones wanted to jump upin the air and the distressed ones were full of disgruntledness and misery.
That being said, they have nothing else to complain about after losingout on the last chance of getting their hands onto something.
The problems did not lie with the Cheng’s, so no matter how unreconciledthey felt, they dare not more any more noises, nor make a scene.
Anyone who dare to make a scene at this point would risk angering allother attendees. Never mind the Cheng’s wouldn’t just remain silent, even theones cheering right now would probably not let the trouble-maker off easily.
Zhu Xiangyu looked down on his own bamboo stick and saw “88”. An oddfeeling crossed his mind. So he has the opportunity to buy from the Cheng’s aswell. He’d no longer need to join in the bidding.
Once again, he was fully amazed by Cheng Xiao Xiao’s tricks in pacifyingeveryone. Yes, this was the very first time this prideful young man from aprominent family appreciated a young woman.
The a.s.sociate Dean, was the only other one in the priority section whowould be able to make a purchase from the Cheng’s other than Zhu Xiangyu.n.o.body else was lucky enough judging from their looks of disappointment.
“Don’t be too excited just yet. I have something else to add!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao’s words made everybody quiet again, “Even the ones thatcan purchase from us still have a limit on how much they can purchase. Inaddition, everybody can only buy up to two types of goods. And, be careful ofyour bamboo sticks and don’t lose it. We will only be going off the bamboosticks!”
Her requests did not bring about any objections. Her reminderimmediately made these cultivators raised their guards and be more cognizant oftheir surroundings and worry that someone would attack them for their bamboosticks!
