80s: The cold-faced tough guy was controlled by the beautiful woman

Chapter 405 I'm playing the villain?

The next day.

Li Yingtang got up early to accompany Lin Tianju to exercise, play, and go shopping.

Along the streets near the ancient city, Lin Tianju picked out souvenirs: "Tangtang, where can I find cheap souvenirs?"

A pendant costs eight or nine cents, that's so expensive, she couldn't bear to spend the money.

Li Yingtang offered to pay for her, but she refused.

When she tried to negotiate with the stall owner, the stall owner, hearing her accent from out of town, assumed she was unfamiliar with the area and had nowhere to choose from, and kept his price firm.

Seeing this, Li Yingtang took out a map and decided to change locations.

After a long pause, he pointed to a location on the map: "Here, I remember there's a wholesale market there where things are sold by weight."

"It seems too far." Lin Tianju was concerned about Li Yingtang's big belly. Her mother had said that Tangtang was heavy and couldn't walk too far, and told her not to make things difficult for her. "Never mind, let's just buy it here." She prepared to take out her money.

Li Yingtang stopped her, saying, "Wait, this place also sells trinkets, and it's only two kilometers away from where we're standing."

"Well."

The two were about to leave.

The stall owner stopped him: "Hey, hey, hey, according to your price, the panda pendant is 50 cents each, and the butterfly brooch is 60 cents."

Lin Tianju, ever the rebel, retorted: "Too late! The price has changed. The little panda and butterfly are now four cents each. Are you going to sell or not?"

Stall owner: "Hey, girl, you're being unreasonable. They were originally 80 cents and 90 cents each, a huge discount for you, and you're cutting them in half? That's not fair."

"I'm just being unreasonable, that's how I am, so what? The money's in my hands, I can buy whatever I want, sell it or not, it's up to you. Humph!" Lin Tianju turned and walked away.

Li Yingtang thought the price the stall owner agreed to was reasonable, and that making an extra trip wouldn't necessarily be cheaper.

The stall owner probably thought Lin Tianju's behavior was unreasonable and willful, so she had to do the opposite: "Boss, I'm sorry, but my daughter has a bit of a temper. Could you please bear with her? How about 50 cents for each item?"

The boss glanced at Lin Tianju, who had already darted far away. If she still didn't agree, the deal would definitely fall through.

Sell ​​everything quickly and pack up early, otherwise the city management officers will come and chase people away: "Fine."

I got the boss's approval.

Li Yingtang called Lin Tianju back.

Lin Tianju was overjoyed to learn that Li Yingtang had mediated the price, making it one cent cheaper than the initial price agreed upon by the boss.

Children's emotions are written all over their faces. She said with a smug look, "Wouldn't it have been better if we had done this earlier?"

She paid for twenty souvenirs.

After getting away from the stall, she looked at Li Yingtang with admiration: "Tangtang, you're so amazing! How did you negotiate the price?"

Li Yingtang said, "You need to understand and grasp the boss's psychology. In our conversation, you played the 'good cop,' and I played the 'bad cop.' Do you know what 'good cop' and 'bad cop' mean?"

"I know, one plays the good guy, and the other plays the bad guy. I play the bad guy?" Lin Tianju's eyes widened.

Li Yingtang laughed and said, "Yes. You acted as the bad guy and got into a dispute with the boss, while I acted as the good guy and mediated between them. I also adjusted the price. Their street stalls were against the rules, and the city management would chase them away if they saw them. They were thinking about selling out as soon as possible and packing up as soon as possible. As long as they didn't lose money, they would definitely sell."

“I have to learn from you,” Lin Tianju said.

Li Yingtang smiled and said, "You'll understand when you grow up. These are things my parents taught me."

“My parents didn’t teach me these things.”

Li Yingtang: "You're still too young, it's not time for me to teach you yet."

My grandfather also disdained teaching scheming and backstabbing.

My mom has a strong personality, so no one dares to bully her.

So there's no need to learn it at all.

Noon.

The mother and daughter went into a noodle shop and each ordered a bowl of noodles with soybean paste.

Lin Tianju said, "In Yanjing, this is the only food I like to eat; the rest of the dishes are really not that great."

Li Yingtang laughed and said, "You've eaten too much good food. If we send you down to the village, you'll be able to eat anything after a month."

Lin Tianju: "If I live with you, I can eat anything."

Li Yingtang's smile widened: "Really?"

"Of course!"

Li Yingtang felt a mix of emotions—warmth and gratitude. No matter what, her mother always indulged her.

"Oops! My clothes are dirty." Lin Tianju's sauce from eating noodles got onto her light-colored cotton coat.

Li Yingtang took out some tissues from her bag and helped the other person wipe.

The more you rub, the bigger the stain gets.

Lin Tianju: "...It would be better not to wipe it at all."

Li Yingtang said awkwardly, "I'll get you a new one."

"No need, it'll be fine for a couple of days."

Li Yingtang: "Go ahead and buy it for me. There are many clothing stores nearby, the quality is no worse than that of big department stores, and the prices are half the price. After we finish eating, we can go shopping and then head home."

"Okay." Lin Tianju no longer stood on ceremony.

After meal.

Li Yingtang and her companion left the noodle shop and went to browse clothing stores on a nearby street.

Pick and choose.

Either Lin Tianju is not a good match, or Li Yingtang is not a good match.

"Never mind then." Lin Tianju didn't want to shop anymore.

I never knew buying clothes could be so tiring.

Why is it that every time my mom buys me clothes, they are the ones I like?
How did you do that?

Mom, you've worked so hard.

Li Yingtang pointed and said, "There's another store up ahead. If you don't find one after you've finished shopping, I'll go home and help you wash up."

"."

Stepping into the clothing store.

Li Yingtang and Zhou Shulai locked eyes.

"You opened a clothing store?"

Zhou Shu's face showed less of its usual fierceness as she smiled faintly, "Yes, I thought about it later. Every time I dress up to go out, many people ask me where I bought my clothes. Selling clothes might really be a way out. I happened to come across a clothing store for sale, so I took it over and worked there for a while. It really is a good way out. If I had known this, why would I have relied on men? Why would I have relied on you to buy clothes?"

Seeing the transformation in the other person, Li Yingtang was genuinely happy for her. "If she buys it, you can give her your recommendations."

Zhou Shu sized up Lin Tianju: "He looks like a child, and he's quite handsome. Is he a relative of yours?"

Li Yingtang: "Yes, it's a child."

Zhou Shu chose a light-colored long cotton coat: "This one is simple, suitable for all ages, made of the latest material, and is full of down inside. It's long and warm."

Lin Tianju tried it on; the length reached below his knees, making him look slightly more mature. Not bad.

It was a dress she was happy with.

She asked, "Tangtang, how are you?"

Li Yingtang reached out and touched the fabric; it was indeed of high quality, the lining was especially comfortable, and it felt like down when pressed. "It's beautiful, how much is it?"

“You want it? Sixty. I bought it for forty, and with all the shipping and handling, I’ll make twenty on you. I sell it to others for eighty,” Zhou Shu said.

Li Yingtang paid the money promptly.

Zhou Shu folded the cotton-padded coat she had taken off and put it into a paper bag: "Still looking for something?"

"I'm not picky anymore, goodbye." Li Yingtang led Lin Tianju away.

It was past noon when I got home.

Upon entering the living room, I immediately spotted Jia Yan.

Lin Ye and Zhen Pei were sitting opposite him, chatting.

Li Yingtang said, "Uncle Jia, aren't you taking your elders for a medical check-up today?"

"All right."

Li Yingtang: "Let me introduce you to my friend."

Jia Yan: "We've known each other for over ten years."

Li Yingtang's eyes widened slightly, clearly surprised: "We know each other."
