"Yes."

Duan Jiabao also said sadly.

"Xiao Luo, have you given your wedding gift yet?"

A colleague of Luo Yan ran out of the room.

Luo Yan: Not yet.

"Here, have a big red envelope."

A colleague handed Luo Yan a red envelope:

Don't forget to give a gift!

"Good heavens, Luo Yan, this is truly tragic!"

Bai Ye, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but say something.

Sacrificing my work time, even on my birthday, to run around for my boss's father-in-law's birthday, buying red wine at the supermarket and having it rounded down to fifty-two, and finally having to give a big red envelope to my boss's father-in-law... This is just too tragic.

Liang Shuang and the others had no choice but to watch Luo Yan.

How much are you planning to give as a gift?

Jiang Xiaoguo asked tentatively.

She was afraid that Luo Yan's emotions would be tormented to the point of collapse.

Luo Yan: "I want to..."

Jiang Xiaoguo: "I gave my teacher a thousand yuan for her birthday before, but she was the teacher who mentored me. How could you, my boss, be so incompetent..."

Luo Yan: "I want to resign..."

"Stone, you mustn't act impulsively. Your job is so great, nine to five, five social insurances and one housing fund, and the benefits are excellent. Your mother went to great lengths to find you this job, and I'm so envious. Why don't you just bear with it a little longer?"

Jiang Xiaoguo and Duan Jiabao took turns trying to persuade Luo Yan.

Every job has its downsides, but Luo Yan's job, which is like a secure, stable job, is different. It's a guaranteed income regardless of circumstances, and it would be a real shame to quit because of some bad temper from her boss.

Luo Yan: "It's not that I couldn't stand being wronged, it's just that I've realized this isn't the life I want..."

Bai Ye and Liang Shuang stood on the other side waiting for the result. Liang Shuang was not the type to give advice.

What a coincidence.

Bai Ye and Liang Shuang saw that President Zhang was pulled into a corner by his father-in-law.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"Xiao Zhang, you're really clueless! What day is it today? I have to make sure it's a grand occasion, right? What kind of wine did you buy? With so many relatives and friends, is it even presentable?"

"Dad, I originally wanted to buy some good wine, and I had a good plan, but my subordinates are useless. They bought some cheap stuff. How did I end up with such a bunch of good-for-nothings!"

Liang Shuang was so angry that her face almost turned blue. What kind of bastard leader was this? He had already driven Luo Yan to the point of resigning, and now, at this critical moment, he was pushing a bunch of dirty things onto Luo Yan.

She turned her head and met Bai Ye's gaze:

"Bai Ye, what do you think we should do about this?"

Bai Ye pondered for a moment and then said:

"I have a few cases of Moutai hidden away, how about... we send them over here?"

Chapter 289 The Grand Finale

"How much is it? If the price is too low, Mr. Zhang's father-in-law won't be satisfied."

Liang Shuang said.

Bai Ye thought for a moment and said, "The cheapest one is probably around three thousand a bottle, while some can cost hundreds of thousands a bottle."

"Then let's go for the three thousand yuan a bottle," Liang Shuang said. "If it's too expensive, it might scare the elderly away, and they might not buy it."

"OK."

Bai Ye nodded and said:

"You wait here, give me ten minutes, and the wine will be here."

"Two boxes will be enough."

Liang Shuang called out from behind.

Bai Ye gave a no-questions-asked gesture.

Luo Yan's boss, Mr. Zhang, was incredibly stingy. On his father-in-law's birthday, he had clearly instructed Luo Yan to buy a bottle of red wine that cost over 100 yuan. However, when Luo Yan returned with the wine, he made various excuses to round down the price by 52 yuan.

Given Mr. Zhang's personality, it's safe to say that if someone were to give him a bottle of Moutai costing 3,000 yuan, it would be absolutely heartbreaking for him.

In this world, there are many people who value face above all else, and no matter how empty their wallets are, they still want to maintain their image.

However, there are also those who value money above all else, and any waste of even a little bit of money will break their hearts.

Characters like Grandet in "The Human Comedy" or Yan Jiansheng in "The Scholars" vividly portray these characters who are extremely greedy and stingy.

Bai Ye brought over two cases of Moutai liquor to help Luo Yan and teach this miserly General Manager Zhang a lesson.

Once outside, sitting in the car, Bai Ye lit a cigarette for himself.

The Moutai liquor was in his spatial ring, so he didn't need anyone to deliver it; he could just take it out directly. So he sat in the car, smoked a couple of cigarettes, and when it was almost time, he went inside.

Liang Shuang found Luo Yan:

"Luo Shitou, are you really sure you want to resign?"

"what!"

Luo Yan stared blankly at Liang Shuang and nodded.

"Then leave this matter to me!"

Liang Shuang said directly:

"You all come with me!"

Liang Shuang walked in front, followed by Jiang Xiaoguo, Duan Jiabao, and Luo Yan, looking like a triumphant returnee.

Mr. Zhang also explained to his father-in-law:

"Dad, I'm really not the kind of person you think I am. Believe me, it's just that those useless subordinates misunderstood me."

"Hello, Mr. Zhang!"

Liang Shuang stood in front of President Zhang.

Mr. Zhang and his father-in-law both paused.

Liang Shuang: "I'm Luo Yan, a classmate. We just met. I heard you're buying good wine here? Is that right?"

"Correct!"

Mr. Zhang stared blankly at Liang Shuang.

"I came here specifically to help you." Liang Shuang gave a professional, sales-like smile.

Mr. Zhang: "What do you mean?"

Liang Shuang: "Because Luo Yan just misunderstood your meaning, Mr. Zhang, she felt very uneasy, so she specifically came to me to solve the problem for you. After hearing this, I immediately contacted a batch of Feitian Moutai for you. It is absolutely genuine and original. If it is fake, I will compensate you tenfold."

"Flying Fairy Moutai?"

Mr. Zhang's face hardened.

This stuff doesn't need any explanation; everyone has a basic understanding of it. It's not alcohol at all; it's liquid gold. Who the hell would buy this stuff to drink for fun?

As he spoke, Bai Ye walked in, carrying a case of Moutai liquor in each hand.

"The goods have arrived. How about it? Not too late, right?"

"Mr. Zhang, look, check it freely, it's genuine Feitian Moutai." Liang Shuang said, "A bottle of Feitian Moutai costs three thousand yuan. If you're not a regular person with enough connections, you can't even buy it! This is Luo Yan's special apology to you!"

"Well, one bottle is three thousand, a case is six bottles, that's eighteen thousand, and two cases would be thirty-six thousand. Today is a good day, your father-in-law's birthday, so let's round it up for good luck. Six sixes bring good fortune, so I'll charge you thirty-six thousand six hundred and sixty-six!"

Mr. Zhang... was so anxious that his face turned red, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He took out a handkerchief to wipe away the sweat.

"You have 36,666, right? No problem, money is not a problem. It's not about the money, but right now, the counterfeiting of Feitian Moutai is too serious. Unless you're a professional, who can tell the difference between real and fake?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at his father-in-law.

The father-in-law had no time to pay attention to Mr. Zhang anymore; he had already opened the box and examined it carefully: "Young Zhang, that's right, this is genuine Feitian Moutai. I saw it at your Uncle Wang's 60th birthday party last time, and he even taught me how to identify genuine Feitian Moutai. Look how proud he is!"

"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, but if you know about Moutai, you'll know that it's very precious. Once the box is opened, returns are not accepted unless there are quality issues."

Liang Shuang shrugged and said:

"If you want to return the goods, you can only return one box."

Mr. Zhang: "..."

"Son, this wine you picked is so impressive, we'll really look good with it! This is it!"

The father-in-law beamed and patted Mr. Zhang on the shoulder.

"Dad, okay? Pay right away!"

Mr. Zhang had no choice but to force a smile.

He took out his phone.

There was a pause.

The sound of clenched teeth making a "crunching" noise came from his mouth.

In the end, with tears in my eyes, I paid the money.

There's no way around it. My father-in-law has already opened the whole case of wine, so there's no way to return it. Could I possibly embarrass him by returning one case and keeping the other? That's impossible! My father-in-law works for the government; he can't afford to lose face like that!

After paying, Mr. Zhang rubbed his temples, feeling that his blood pressure had risen considerably.

"Mr. Zhang, this is my gift."

With a mischievous smile on her face, Luo Yan handed over her red envelope.

Mr. Zhang rolled the thickness of the red envelope with his hand and felt it was not bad. This Xiao Luo probably gave a little over a thousand.
