Group Pet Eldest Lady, She Just Wants To Be A Salted Fish

Chapter 63 Part 5 一 “Brother, am I being deceived?”

Entering the first floor living room, Ruan Yōu held 2,400 yuan in her hand and walked in. “Our living expenses have arrived,” she said. “The director mentioned that for the next four days, this is our total living expense. We’ll stay here today and tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow we’ll move. I don’t know where we’re moving to, the director only said that it’s a place with abundant resources and we won’t have worries about food and clothing.”

Fu Jiazhan: “What are we going to do specifically for the next two days?”

“The director said that in the first season, for the first two days, the guests showcased their daily lives as usual. However, in this season, due to the investors…” Ruan Yōu paused for a moment. “The investors are not important; what’s important is that they’ve added a new theme to this season 一 the theme of ‘bitterness before sweetness’, starting with bitterness. These next few days might be quite tense. We will probably focus on making sure to have a good meal first and then move on to do something else…”

Ruan Yōu comforted, “After the Spring Festival ends, we will return to the previous recording process, and at that time, there will still be money.”

Qi Nuo suddenly spoke, “In that case, after the Spring Festival, will we record separately?”

【Ah… I really wish they could stay together, sob sob sob】

【Me too, I want to see them recording together. It’s no fun if they’re apart.】

【Come on, Everyday Taking Down Entertainment Company! You’re an investor, show some strength. Don’t record separately, keep them all together in a luxurious mansion and let them spend money together! The scene would be spectacular for sure.】

Ruan Yōu hesitated: “It seems like that’s the case.”

“Well, let’s discuss that after the Spring Festival. Let’s focus on the current matters!” Ruan Yōu counted the money, “In total it’s 2,400 yuan. Should we keep it separate or put it together?”

“Put them together,” Gu Fuchen said.

Ruan Yōu thought the same way.

Ruan Yōu and the others didn’t consider future matters. The most important thing at the moment was to solve today’s lunch.

To be more accurate, it’s a late lunch.

It’s already 11:301now. If they delay further, they could just have dinner directly.

“Going out to eat is too expensive. For the first meal, how about we eat in the villa and make something ourselves?” Fu Jiazhan said softly, “Although there’s nothing in the fridge, the kitchen utensils are all here. The staff said there’s a 24-hour market nearby.”

The production team chose the location of the accommodation here, obviously wanting them to cook themselves.

His cooking skills weren’t great, but he could manage to make something.

Qi Zhiyan suddenly said, “I’ll cook.”

Lu Xuan was surprised, “Sister Qi, you can cook?”

“Mhm.”

While abroad, she often used cooking to pass the time.

Having someone cook makes things easier.

Everyone collaborates and works together.

Apart from Qi Zhiyan, Qi Nuo and Lu Jin stayed behind to help her.

The remaining people went out together to buy groceries.

. . . . .

At 12:00, everyone was cooking at home, and there weren’t many people at the market.

When Ruan Yōu, Gu Fuchen, and the program staff walked into the market, they became a beautiful scenery.

To save time and not keep Miss Qi Zhiyan waiting for too long, everyone split up to buy groceries.

Subconsciously, Gu Fuchen stood by Ruan Yōu’s side, but before he could speak, Lu Xuan interrupted, “I want to go with Sister Yōuyōu!”

As she spoke, annoyance and resentment filled her eyes as she looked at Gu Fuchen.

Earlier, Gu Fuchen had tricked her into changing rooms, and now it was a good opportunity for revenge.

She wouldn’t let Gu Fuchen go shopping with Sister Yōuyōu.

Heh heh heh~

Fu Jiazhan and Jiang Huai knew that Gu Fuchen would definitely try to argue, so they stood on his left and right, forcibly ‘dragging’ him away.

As they walked, they whispered some ‘chicken soup for the soul’ to Gu Fuchen:

“Ruan Yōu has already become a mature fat cat. She doesn’t need your protection when it comes to spending money on groceries.”

“You should learn to give her a little freedom.”

“Distance creates beauty. The more you stay in front of Ruan Yōu, the more she will find you annoying.”

After thinking for a moment, Gu Fuchen felt it made sense.

Times have changed from the past. He is no longer the business genius in everyone’s eyes. The halo of genius has almost disappeared. Without filters, it’s only natural that his sister finds him annoying.

Gu Fuchen didn’t struggle anymore and went to buy meat with Fu Jiazhan and Jiang Huai.

Before Ruan Yōu and Lu Xuan separated from Jiang Huai, he earnestly advised, “Sister Bodhisattva, Little Princess, we only have this much allowance. Later, you must learn to bargain with the boss.”

It was also Jiang Huai’s first time doing such a thing. After learning from the staff for a while and searching for bargaining tips online, he said, “Bargaining isn’t difficult. Just ask the boss if the price can be a bit cheaper. If she says five yuan, you say three yuan. If she says four yuan and fifty cents, you say four yuan. Find the middle ground and negotiate slowly.”

Ruan Yōu nodded.

She would be able to do that.

Ruan Yōu and Lu Xuan’s task is to buy some oranges and apples to supplement their daily nutritional needs.

Qi Zhiyan attaches great importance to this point and insists that they must buy it.

The quality of life of the wealthy young masters and young ladies of the top wealthy families cannot decline any further. Each person having an orange and an apple is their bottom line.

Of course, Qi Zhiyan, who initially firmly stated the need for fruit, hesitated for two seconds before Ruan Yōu and the others set off, furrowing her brow and saying, “If they are really expensive and we can’t afford them, we still can’t not buy them.”

Ruan Yōu & Lu Xuan: ….QAQ

Look at how they’ve pushed their young ladies into what kind of situation!

These fruits are a must-buy!

Lu Xuan nervously clung to Ruan Yōu’s elbow all the way: “Sister Yōuyōu, I don’t know how to bargain.”

“It’s okay, I’ll handle it later,” Ruan Yōu said, pretending to be calm.

Actually, a long time ago, Ruan Yōu used to bargain when going out to buy groceries. She had mastered the skills in that area, but today, in front of the live streaming camera, she felt a bit embarrassed.

But Lu Xuan is younger than her. Sometimes Ruan Yōu is used to protecting Lu Xuan like an older sister, just like how her brother would protect her.

Standing at the entrance of the fruit shop, Lu Xuan pursed her lips: “Sister Yōuyōu, can you really do it?”

Ruan Yōu took a deep breath: “I’ll give it a try.”

Before entering the fruit shop, the cameraman intentionally filmed the storefront.

Seeing this scene, Ruan Yōu quietly withdrew her gaze. She comforted herself that the live stream would bring a lot of traffic to the fruit shop owner, and with courage, she could negotiate a lower price by a yuan or two without causing the owner to lose much.

Um!

That’s the spirit!

To save a little money and buy a bit more fruit in the future, for the sake of 77’s nutrition, go for it!

After reassuring herself once again and confirming her successful self-brainwashing, Ruan Yōu walked confidently into the fruit shop. However, the moment she saw the owner, all her courage disappeared.

The shop owner was a middle-aged woman in her forties. Upon seeing their group enter, she was somewhat surprised, thinking they had come for a big order.

“What do you want?”

Ruan Yōu cleared her throat, “I’d like to buy some oranges and apples, could they be a little cheaper?”

She gestured with her hand, slightly pinching her index finger and thumb together, “Just a little bit.”

Lu Xuan, feeling extremely anxious, added, “Yes, yes, yes. We really don’t have money right now. After I go home, you can ask for however much money you want.”

The three cameraman following behind Ruan Yōu and Lu Xuan were using a hidden filming method. The boss hadn’t noticed their devices. Upon hearing Lu Xuan’s words, the female owner was completely puzzled.

Ruan Yōu hurriedly explained: “We’re currently filming a variety show, and the unscrupulous investors have only given us a small living expenses.”

After speaking, she nervously glanced around the fruit shop, waiting for the female owner’s reply.

In a moment of random thought, Ruan Yōu happened to notice a laptop on a small table owned by the female owner, playing a drama. An idea struck her.

“Boss, you’ve been using this laptop for a while, right? Is it good?”

The female owner, who was just about to agree to lower the price, didn’t know why Ruan Yōu suddenly brought up the laptop, but she continued the conversation based on what Ruan Yōu said.

The female owner does indeed like this laptop. She’s been using it for four or five years and it doesn’t lag at all. She thought the young girl wanted to buy a laptop and smiled, saying, “Yes, it’s very good. Do you want to buy it too?”

Ruan Yōu gave a slight smile and whispered something in the female owner’s ear that the cameraman didn’t hear.

The female owner was completely stunned.

After Ruan Yōu finished speaking, she scratched her head, feeling a bit more at ease. However, she still asked with a hint of embarrassment: “Um… could the oranges and apples be a bit cheaper?”

It’s a bit embarrassing for her to ask the female owner for a discount without offering anything in return.

“Take as much as you want, I’ll give them to you.”

Lu Xuan: !!!

“Boss, you’re so kind!”

Female owner:…

“No, no, no, you’re the ones who are kind.”

. . . . .

Half an hour later, Ruan Yōu and Lu Xuan arrived with a pile of fruits to meet Gu Fuchen, Fu Jiazhan, and Jiang Huai.

Upon seeing so many fruits, Jiang Huai became especially anxious.

“Did you spend all your money?”

Lu Xuan raised her chin very proudly: “No, we only spent ten yuan. It’s all thanks to Sister Yōuyōu.”

“Sister Yōuyōu saw that the laptop the female owner was using belongs to Bozhan, and she said she could give her one. The female owner happily said she would give us the fruits. We felt embarrassed, so we left her ten yuan.”

Gu Fuchen, Fu Jiazhan, and Jiang Huai: …

“Wait a minute.” Jiang Huai pursed his lips, looking quite serious. “So your way of bargaining was to spend a laptop and get a pile of fruits in return?”

Jiang Huai looked at Gu Fuchen.

一Take care of your own sister!!

Gu Fuchen looked a bit embarrassed and awkward facing Ruan Yōu, but he said earnestly, “I think Ruanruan’s bargaining method is excellent.”

Jiang Huai: ?

“She knows how to use family resources to bargain; she’s truly genius at bargaining.” After a pause, Gu Fuchen added, “This is very Fat Cat.”

【Hahaha, if we consider a computer to cost five thousand yuan, and now these oranges and apples weighing ten jin in total, before bargaining they averaged 5.5 yuan per jin, and after bargaining, they cost 500 yuan per jin.】

【Fat Cat, it really is you, Fat Cat!!!】
