Audrey and Bryson went to have breakfast first, and then they went to Ancient City outside of Peace City together.
By the time the two of them arrived, Cordell and the others had not yet arrived.
Audrey called Cordell.
After the call, Audrey frowned and looked at Bryson.
"It was Mr. Brook who brought Professor Fenton over. However, there was a traffic accident on the road they were
on and they are blocked. I'm afraid it will take about half an hour for the traffic police to handle it."
"Half an hour," Bryson looked at the bustling crowd in front of him, "before they come, why don't we take a walk
first?"
"Sure."
...
Audrey and Bryson casually strolled around Ancient City. Audrey saw that there were wooden carvings on the side
of the street next to Ancient City. She casually picked up one of the objects. It was a pen holder made of peach
wood.
Bryson looked at the pen holder and raised his eyebrows, "You want to buy a pen holder?"
Audrey said, "In a few days, when your pen holder will be delivered to me, you will not have one, so ... I plan to
compensate you!"
Looking at the pen holder in Audrey's hand, Bryson frowned.
Seeing that there was a business, the vendor came up with a smile.
"Beauty, do you want to buy a pen holder? This is made of peach wood. Since ancient times, peach wood is an anti-
evil object. If you buy one and place it on your desk, you will not dare to cause any trouble. Your work will be
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsmooth and the bad luck will go away, and the money will naturally come to you."
Hearing the vendor's words, Audrey became interested, "Then boss, how much does this pen holder cost?"
The vendor carefully looked up at Audrey and Bryson. The clothes they wore were very ordinary and they looked
very low-key. However, the vendor was also a clever and shrewd person. At a glance, he could tell that Bryson wore
a famous handmade suit and an Omega watch on his wrist.
The clothes on Audrey were also new autumn products of some big brand clothing.
The vendor, who had seen countless people, naturally recognized that the brand products on Audrey and Bryson
were not fake goods but genuine ones.
People in branded clothes and jewelry were either rich or noble, and these people were all generous.
After thinking for a few seconds, the vendor already had some thoughts.
He extended a finger, "Ten thousand!"
Audrey and Bryson were stunned when they heard this number.
Audrey looked at the vendor with a half smile.
"You said that this pen holder cost ten thousand?"
Seeing that Audrey was questioning the price, the vendor hurriedly explained, "Young lady, I can tell that you can
tell good from the bad. Look at the pen holder. It's made from a peach tree that is hundreds of years old. Look at
the patterns on the pen holder. It's carved by the famous. And the molding is very perfect. In Ancient City, no, in the
whole Peace City, there may not be another pen holder like this. It is a discount that I said ten thousand."
Boaster. A big boaster.
Audrey looked at the pen holder with a smile and stretched out two fingers.
"Two hundred!" Audrey smiled and said, "otherwise I won't buy it!"
When the vendor heard Audrey's direct bargaining, his face suddenly sank.
"Two hundred?" the vendor frowned and glared at Audrey, "hey, beauty, look at me. My prime cost is not only this
much, but you actually offered me two hundred. Are you joking? Or are you deliberately treating me as a beggar?"
Audrey took out two hundred dollars from her wallet.
"Just two hundred. Are you selling?"
The vendor stared at the two hundred dollars in Audrey's hand and turned around angrily.
"Beauty, don't deliberately insult me like this. If you don't want to buy it, then go somewhere else."
"Since you don't want to sell it for 200, then forget it!" with that, Audrey prepared to stuff the money back into her
wallet and turn to leave.
However, just as Audrey took two steps, the vendor behind her suddenly called out to her.
"Hey, beauty, don't go. We can discuss it again!"
Audrey stopped and turned around. She smiled and said, "I'm only willing to pay two hundred. If you don't want to
sell it, why don't I leave? Moreover, you were the one who chased me away just now."
The vendor glared at Audrey angrily.
"Hey, beauty, you really know how to bargain. I want ten thousand, but you want to give me two hundred."
"Then are you going to sell or not?"
"Sell! Sell! For the sake of your beauty!" the vendor packed up the pen holder and said reluctantly, "beauty, it's
really worth it for you to buy this pen holder for 200. It's the first time I've met someone like you. However, after
you buy it, don't tell anyone that you bought it from me for 200."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAudrey smiled and handed over the money. The vendor took the money Audrey handed over and carefully checked
it. After confirming that the money Audrey handed over was real, he handed over the pen holder.
When Audrey left, the vendor smiled and waved at Audrey, "Beauty, come again next time."
Bryson, who had been standing beside Audrey, was stunned by Audrey's ability to bargain.
He even ... looked at her in a new light.
Unexpectedly, the pen holder, which was originally priced at ten thousand, was taken by Audrey with just two
hundred easily.
After leaving, Bryson frowned and asked suspiciously, "If you buy this pen holder for two hundred, won't the vendor
lose money in business?"
"Loss?" Audrey looked at Bryson with a funny smile, "what are you going to do if the other party asks you for ten
thousand? Could it be that ... you are going to directly hand over ten thousand?"
Bryson was speechless.
Audrey rolled her eyes as if she knew everything. She said, "I'm not going to let you go." "You people born in a rich
family have never been worried about money since you were kids. You don't know how hard it is to earn money. So,
you always spend money lavishly. No matter how much others want, you can just give it out."
Bryson pointed at the pen holder in Audrey's hand.
"This pen holder was indeed made of peach wood."
Audrey waved the pen in her hand. "Yes, this is indeed made of peach wood, but that doesn't mean it is worth
10,000. For example, the decorations sold in fancy shops are all decorated with a brand, which includes material,
labor, venue, and brand fees. The price will naturally rise, but the real cost of those things is not high.
"Just like this pen holder, I don't think it will cost more than fifty. He can tell that our clothing brands, so he asked for
ten thousand dollars. Generally, those rich people who know nothing about the ordinary people's world will pay ten
thousand dollars without hesitation."
Bryson, the so-called rich man who knew nothing about the ordinary people's world, was speechless.
