98. Chapter 98 Aliens are too expensive(2/2)
A young foreign woman came over, holding an exquisite blue crystal necklace in her hand, and said to the boss.
Li Xiangming looked at her. She had fair skin, blue eyes, and was pretty. She didn't know which country she was from.
The boss didn't understand English, but he still looked at the foreign woman with a smile on his face and said, "What are you talking about, are you asking how much this necklace costs?"
"What-are-you-saying?" The foreign woman didn't understand Chinese and had a strange expression on her face.
Huo Xiaoyan couldn't help but laugh secretly. The boss was asking the foreign woman what he was talking about, and the foreign woman was asking the boss what he was talking about. Neither of them knew what they were talking about.
The boss was very shrewd. When he saw Huo Xiaoyan smiling, he guessed that Huo Xiaoyan should understand what the foreign woman said, so he looked at Huo Xiaoyan with a smile on his face and said, "Beauty, do you know what she is talking about?"
Huo Xiaoyan didn't want to embarrass him and said with a smile: "She was asking you how much this necklace costs just now."
After hearing this, the boss felt moved in his heart. He quickly stretched out five fingers to the foreign woman and said with a smile on his face: "We Chinese are the friendliest. Since you are a foreigner, I will give it to you cheaper, five hundred."
piece."
After hearing this, Huo Xiaoyan and Li Xiangming were both shocked. How could this be called selling anything? They just grabbed it. This crystal necklace was so expensive that it cost thirty yuan at most.
And now he's selling it for five hundred. Isn't this a scam?
The boss saw the surprised expressions of the two of them and was worried that they were bad guys, so he quickly explained to them: "We are small businessmen and we really can't make much money. I heard that foreigners are very easy to cheat, so you just let me cheat you."
Let her do it this time!"
"What-are-you-saying?" The foreign woman couldn't help but frowned when she heard the boss chirping and looking vulgar.
The boss also realized that the foreign woman did not understand a word of what he just said.
So, the boss looked at Huo Xiaoyan and said, "Beauty, translate it for me and say this necklace costs five hundred yuan."
Huo Xiaoyan was a little hesitant. If he translated for him, wouldn't it be obvious that he was helping him deceive people? However, there is nothing wrong with the boss wanting to make a fortune. After all, you can't make much money in a small business, and foreign women come to your door on their own initiative.
, even if it were another boss, he would still choose to cheat her.
"Xiangming, can you help him?" Huo Xiaoyan couldn't make up his mind and asked Li Xiangming.
"Help him." Li Xiangming replied.
After all, we are all Chinese, so of course the Chinese have to help the Chinese.
"The-boss-said, this-ce-of-five-hundred-yuan." Huo Xiaoyan looked at the foreign woman and said fluently in English.
"Oh, my-god, it's-too-expensive." The foreign woman showed a very excited expression.
"What did she say?" the boss asked quickly.
"She said your necklace was too expensive." Huo Xiaoyan translated for him.
After hearing this, the boss became a little depressed: "Aren't foreigners very rich? Why would they find it expensive?"
"What-are-you-saying?" The foreign woman heard her boss mutter and felt a little strange again.
"The-boss-said-you-are-very-beautiful." Huo Xiaoyan said on his own initiative in English, "The boss said you are very beautiful."
After hearing this, the foreign woman immediately smiled happily: "Thank-you, I-know-I'm-very-beautiful, but-still-thank-you-appreciate-my-beautiful."
Huo Xiaoyan smiled in agreement and thought, this foreign woman is too straightforward. Even if she is beautiful, she doesn't have to say that she is beautiful.
When the boss saw the foreign woman smiling, he felt that there was something interesting, so he said to Huo Xiaoyan: "Beauty, please help me translate again and say, 'Five hundred yuan is not expensive at all. This is the purest and best crystal. Wearing it on
What you have on you can make you very beautiful. If you want it, I’ll give it to you for three hundred and fifty yuan. I paid this price because you are so beautiful.”
After hearing this, Huo Xiaoyan thought to herself that this boss was really good at cheating people. However, she still helped the boss to translate to the end.
“Five-hundred-yuan-is-not-expensive-at-all, this-is-the-most-pure, the-best-crystal, wear-on-your-body, can-let-you-are-very
-beautiful,if-you-want,three-hundred-and-fifty-yuan-for-you-forget-it,I-see-you-are-so-beautiful,just-out-of-the-price.”
Huo Xiaoyan translated all the boss's words in one breath. Her pronunciation was very standard. Li Xiangming could also hear those simple words. He even felt that Huo Xiaoyan's English was better than that of his English teacher Xie Han.
After all, it is quite rare to achieve this level of fluent conversation with foreigners.
After hearing this, the foreign woman was very happy. She quickly took out 350 yuan from her wallet and handed it to the boss. She thought she had taken a big advantage and kept saying thank you.
When the boss saw that he had succeeded in cheating, he laughed so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth.
After the foreign woman left, the boss generously put the two crystal bracelets Huo Xiaoyan liked into her hands, and said gratefully: "Beauty, thanks to you just now, I will give you these two bracelets."
"But……"
"Stop it, take it. If you don't accept it, I'll be a little embarrassed." The boss smiled, and then he took two more red ropes and handed them to Huo Xiaoyan and said: "These are concentric ropes, couples wear them
You will be very happy. You two are talented and beautiful. I give it to you. I hope you will always be happy."
After hearing this, Huo Xiaoyan blushed suddenly, lowered his head, but glanced at Li Xiangming secretly.
Li Xiangming smiled and said, "Thank you, boss."
After the two people left the shop, Huo Xiaoyan's face was still red. After a moment of silence, she suddenly raised her head and handed one of the red ropes to Li Xiangming, and shyly replied: "Here you go, this is the concentric rope."
"I'll help you put it on." Li Xiangming took the rope and said with a smile.
Huo Xiaoyan nodded, smiled with a blushing face, and said softly: "I'll help you too."
The two people put it on each other's hands tenderly. Li Xiangming put the concentric cord on Huo Xiaoyan's right hand, and Huo Xiaoyan put the concentric cord on Li Xiangming's left hand in a tacit understanding, symbolizing that the left and right sides would never be separated.
Then they looked at each other and smiled.
When he returned to school, it was already half past five in the afternoon. After shopping all day, Li Xiangming was a little hungry, so he took Huo Xiaoyan to a small restaurant next to the school for dinner.
At this time, Huo Xiaoyan suddenly pulled Li Xiangming's arm, looked at the school gate and said, "Xiangming, there is a girl over there looking at us."
