The longed-for village system

Chapter 25 Old Wang's Fear Returns

Seeing the familiar smile on Chen Qing's lips, Teacher Huang and the others sat up straight, ready to watch the show. With this bargaining expert on their side, they had nothing to worry about; these three hundred pineapples would at least get a 20% discount.

"Here it comes, here it comes, the fear of being dominated by the landlord, I can even see the camera shaking."

"The poor production team personally invited a super talented person they were afraid of to join. This is going to be interesting."

"Hey landlord, come on over! I need to learn some bargaining skills."

Netizens were very much looking forward to the upcoming show, but the director team's subsequent actions left them greatly disappointed.

"How about this! Originally, there were supposed to be 5 of you picking pineapples, but since Teacher He needs to recover from his injury, we'll be humane and give you a 8% discount! You only need to pick 240 pineapples."

Huang Shi and the others were not surprised by this result. Even Zhao Xiaogu looked at Chen Qing with an expression of watching a good show, all of them wearing the signature "please begin your performance" expression.

Chen Qing was naturally dissatisfied with this result. He hadn't even started bargaining yet, and they were already offering 20% ​​off. This was clearly a sign of looking down on him. In order to save his image, he felt it necessary to haggle a bit.

Seeing Chen Qing walk up to them, Old Wang involuntarily took a step back, feeling a unease he had never experienced even when facing Teacher Huang.

"Mr. Wang, I'm not going to eat you, why are you keeping such a distance from me? Come over here, let's have a good chat as old friends." Chen Qing said to Old Wang with a warm smile.

Old friend? When did they become friends? All told, they've only known each other for less than three days. This guy looks honest, but his mouth is always running around. How could someone as simple-minded as me not run away?

"Old Wang, as a man, you need to take responsibility. Your sister and Xiao Gu are both girls. How can you, as a man, ask them to go out and pick pineapples in this sweltering heat? You're heartless, but we wouldn't do it! Besides, your sister is preparing for the college entrance exam. What if she gets heatstroke and it affects her studies? Can you take responsibility for her failing the exam?"

"I can tell from your guilty look that you know you made a mistake. So, we won't blame you for not thinking things through. Originally, it was supposed to be Teacher He, Peng Peng, me, and the new guest picking the fruit. We'll be generous and not ask you to lower the price. We'll give you a 7% discount!"

Old Wang breathed a sigh of relief that Chen Qing had shown leniency. He had thought the discount would go straight to 60% or 50%, but a 70% discount would be acceptable, since they were missing one of Teacher He's key players.

Peng Peng, seeing that Chen Qing had mistaken the new guest for a male, immediately spoke up to inform him, "Brother Chen, the new guest is a girl. She's a good friend of Sister Xiao Gu, but we don't know who she is." "It's a 30% discount. A gentleman's word is his bond. You only need to pick 210 pineapples."

When Peng Peng reminded him, Lao Wang didn't wait for Chen Qing to speak again and immediately agreed. Then he turned around and ran away, as if he was afraid that Chen Qing would call him back.

Chen Qing looked at Lao Wang's fleeing figure with a puzzled expression. He ran away already? He hadn't even used his strength yet! What a piece of trash.

The crowd below the tent burst into laughter at the sight of Lao Wang's back. They never expected that the production team would be in such an embarrassing situation. This was probably what happened to a mouse encountering a cat.
The two assistant directors twitched their brows when they saw Director Wang leave, and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Chen Qing didn't continue to haggle. They were already prepared to escape.

Old Wang can't handle them, let alone them. Teacher Huang's slippers are so much better! Although they sometimes accidentally hit them, the pain is nothing to them.

Chen Qing's verbal attacks are different; he starts by dismantling you psychologically, making you feel stupid and heartless, just like in these two instances of haggling.

"As expected, it really takes your intervention; otherwise, we don't know how badly Old Wang and the others would have been cheated." Huang Shi clapped and cheered.

"Wow, you're even better at talking than me. Why don't you go get a host certification?" Teacher He started giving Chen Qing advice again.

Of course, the happiest person was Peng Peng. With 90 fewer pineapples, he and Brother Chen could at least save themselves two trips and have dinner earlier tonight.

"Haha, that's all I'm good at. I'm not good at anything else. I definitely can't be a host." Chen Qing naturally wouldn't really consider taking the host qualification exam.

He can't even leave the village now, so taking the exam is out of the question. Besides, his ambitions don't lie there. It's not bad for him to stay in the village with his money. If he has any ideas, he can travel all over the world. Wouldn't that be a wonderful life?

"Xiao Chen, you're being modest! Putting aside your creative abilities, the bone-setting technique you just used is something that not everyone can learn. I've been to countless hospitals all over the country, but I've never heard a doctor say that they can cure their back injury."
