Chapter 173 Anyway, I can't bear it
Wu Xian took a quick-acting heart-saving pill before rushing to the mall with his men in a threatening manner. Before he left, Qiu Ling had already called her man over through the light brain.
Therefore, when he arrived, he saw that the high-end merchandise counter was crowded with Xing Chaoxing's family members who were dressed in eye-catching clothes.
Together with them were the media workers who were extremely excited to hear the news!
"Sisters-in-law," he took a deep breath, trying to control his expression and tone gently, "Our Xingxian Star is slightly richer, and the soldiers have much better welfare than those on other stars.
This time we came to Xingchaoxing for sightseeing and study at public expense, and they promised to cover all expenses, including buying some souvenirs for our families.
But let's make it clear before we set off, right? Each person is only given a quota of 10,000!"
The family member who had thrown himself on him came forward and said with a shy smile, "My Lord, we will do as you say.
Give each relative a souvenir worth 10,000 yuan. We interstellar people have long life spans, and every family has a hundred or eighty relatives, right, sisters-in-law? "
Everyone nodded and praised, "Yes, our wise prince is generous and considerate of our family members. Normally, we would never be willing to take a shuttle to other planets for fun, let alone buy souvenirs for each family member.
We have really broadened our horizons. Let's go back and tell everyone about the goodness of the virtuous prince!"
Princess Yan said that the virtuous prince paid the bill just to hear a few sweet words from them, but he just kept bragging that they would even call him ancestor for the souvenirs and storage rings worth hundreds of thousands of dollars they bought.
The virtuous prince touched his chest and wondered why these women didn't understand what he was saying. The quota for one person is not the quota for every relative!!!
Besides, the life span of interstellar residents is long, but they do not have many offspring. Some of them die of serious illness or accidents. Even large families do not have so many relatives who need large gifts to exchange.
Souvenirs worth four or five hundred million, haha, it’s really not my own money, so I don’t feel bad about spending it.
Wu Xian once again realized the power of this group of family members! "Okay, okay, let's not talk about the souvenirs first, but is a storage ring something that an ordinary family can afford and use? One costs four or five million!"
"My Lord, 4.2 million is the down payment, so the total is 8.4 million! 20 cubic meters, with a fresh-keeping function, it's very affordable. We were also worried that you didn't bring enough crystals, so we chose to pay in installments for your sake.
The original price was 10.5 million, but we cut it down to more than 2 million, which just offset the cost of our souvenirs..."
"Yes, Lord Xian, we are also thinking about you. The soldiers of Xingchao Star are equipped with storage spaces that are five meters or ten meters high and cover an area of 180 square meters.
We are so small, compared to humans, we are just a portable refrigerator. I am really afraid that if the incident gets out of hand, people will say that the welfare benefits of Xingxian Star are just bluffs, and that they have deceived people with petty gains..."
"We refuted it at the time. How could it be possible? Our virtuous prince has countless assets and the annual profits cannot be counted with two hands... Facing the contemptuous smile of Princess Yan, uncle can tolerate it, but aunt can't, so we collectively save face for you and bought all the hundreds of storage rings on the counter..."
Looking at the group of family members who were eager to take credit for him, Wu Xian wanted to collapse and faint, but he couldn't. Now there were media people carrying camera robots, and there was an 80% chance that they were broadcasting live!
He clenched his fists tightly. 1.8 billion was just the down payment. There was another 1.8 billion left...
Why is he so narrow-minded? After suffering a great loss on the Material Star, he still thinks he can turn the tables this time?
The military exercise hadn't even started yet, but he had already suffered several serious losses. His child was gone, he was involved in an affair with a subordinate's family, and now he had to pay more than 4 billion.
He, he worked so hard for so many years, but the total cash he could move was only a few billion!!!
"My Lord, would you like to pay the down payment first, or pay it all at once? Not only can we pay by bank card, but we can also conduct price assessments on shops, fields, houses, shuttles, and industries..."
The waiter was obviously smiling politely and speaking in clichés, but to Wu Xian it sounded like sarcasm, as if he was certain that he would default on the bill and not be able to pay.
It was just like when he was a child, those royal relatives, ministers and servants in the royal family who claimed to be orthodox, felt pity, sympathy and contempt for him.
It was as if he didn't have the Wu family's blood in his body, so he was just an inferior person and had to look up to them forever!
He had vowed that one day he would stand on a high mountain and let them look up to him.
"Speaking of which, no matter what I promised these sisters-in-law, as sellers, shouldn't you ask for my opinion first? What if someone pretends to be my relative or friend and comes to the store to buy, then will you also charge me for it?"
The clerk looked at him in surprise and said with a smile, "Don't worry, my lord. We are following the formal procedures. More than three billion crystals is not a small amount. We will call you first and wait for you to come and confirm it in person."
"That's right, Lord Xian. Although we are usually careless, we know the rules and are waiting for you to take us away..." The family members also said. "In fact, it's okay if you can't afford the money. Alas, after all, our Xingxian Star is not as well-off as Xingchao Star..."
Wu Xian really wanted to take the responsibility for the sake of face, but that was 3.6 billion yuan, and he might not be able to earn it back in three to five years!
"Hey, what are you all doing here? Sisters-in-law, you haven't left yet," Qiu Ling walked over with Wu Yan's arm, smiling, "Are you hesitating between 20 cubic meters or 50 cubic meters? If you ask me, you should buy the bigger one if you can..."
"Wu Yan, can you control your wife? She instigated our family members to shop without restraint. Was she instructed by you?" Wu Xian said angrily, gritting his teeth.
Qiu Ling restrained his smile and said, "I am not happy with what the virtuous prince said. What do you mean by instigating? It was me, the host, who explained to them the things on our Xingchao Star.
They like and are willing to buy souvenirs for their families, right? They are adults and can be responsible for their own actions.
But you can't come up with the 3.6 billion, and you don't want to admit it, for fear of losing the prince's face. Tsk, I'm curious, how much is our virtuous prince's face worth?"
Yan Zhao curled his lips and said, "My virtuous prince, you should leave yourself a way out. When you abducted my sisters-in-law here, you promised to reimburse all the expenses.
Now that my sisters-in-law have set their eyes on the storage ring, can you bear to see them staring at it?"
"Anyway, I can't bear it," Wu Yan curled his lips and said to the waiter, "Excuse me, do you have any larger storage rings in your store? It can be used as one of the prizes for successfully repelling the 00125 material star beast tide this time."
