"Uh, that's right."
Mary succinctly stated her purpose in wanting to borrow mourning clothes.
Finally, I'd like to add one more thing.
"I'll pay you. I'll give you some money, consider it rent from you?"
"No, there's no need for that. I thought it was something serious. It turns out you just need to borrow mourning clothes. I'll take them off and let you wear them for a couple of days."
what?
Not only was Mary stunned, but everyone in the live stream was also dumbfounded.
"How about you charge me a little less? Otherwise I won't feel at ease wearing this."
Finally, at Mary's insistence, the bespectacled man accepted one hundred dollars.
He only wanted fifty bills, but Xiaoxue gave him whole hundred-yuan bills.
Seeing how magnanimous the bespectacled man was, Mary couldn't resist asking her question.
"Aren't you afraid of breaking school rules?"
"School rules?"
The bespectacled boy touched his nose, indicating that he had good grades and his teachers doted on him, so it wasn't a big deal if he didn't wear his school uniform once or twice.
"I'm a sure thing that I could get into the top high school in the province, so they usually don't punish me."
Did I lose it?
Everyone: ()
Sure enough, good students who are both academically excellent and approachable are favored by teachers.
I'm sorry, I want to apologize to the guy with glasses.
[Apology +1]
[Huh? What happened? Why are you apologizing?]
[Uh, I just saw everyone else resting, and he was the only one doing the test. I thought he was some kind of show-off.]
[Yes, that's what I thought too. I was just criticizing him for being pretentious.]
[I never expected her to be a true academic genius!]
[Not only is he a good student, but he's also a really nice person. Look at the guy with the buzz cut, then look at the guy with glasses? What a difference!]
[Cough, am I the only one who noticed? The guy with glasses said Mary could borrow this mourning clothes for "two days," not the guy with the buzz cut who said it had to be returned during evening self-study.]
[If you don't understand, how many times did Jin Ye lose money in his transactions with the crew-cut man?]
The initial "kickback" should be around one or two hundred.
Seeing that the crew-cut man hesitated, Jin Ye gave him another two hundred.
Finally, he asked the man with the buzz cut to borrow mourning clothes from the bespectacled man, which cost him three hundred.
So it cost around 700 yuan?
Mary only spent one hundred.
That's bad enough, but Jin Ye from the crew-cut gang only managed to borrow it for half a day.
The meaning behind this is self-evident.
That was so that after Jinye returned the mourning clothes at night, he could sell them to him again the next day.
[Selling crutches and trafficking in human traffickers?]
[666, getting ready to see a second chance tomorrow.]
This guy with the buzz cut is a true business genius. With one well-executed move, he made a fortune without putting in any effort himself.
At this point, the executives of the kimchi company turned pale.
I thought that although Jin Ye had suffered some losses, at least he had managed to borrow mourning clothes.
In their eyes, there was nothing wrong with it; they even thought Jin Ye was very clever and worthy of praise and boasting.
That would indeed be true if Mary weren't there.
But now that there are outstanding examples following behind, Jin Ye's actions seem even more like polio.
"Damn it! What an idiot! He's disgraced our kimchi!"
"Extremely stupid!"
"Alright, alright, let's put aside whether Jin Ye is stupid or not for now. What we need to consider now is whether or not to tell him about Mary's deal?"
"We have to tell him! Otherwise, this idiot might keep trying to make deals with the crew-cut guy tomorrow. Do you want to see him 'get a second chance' like the comments are saying?"
"Let's wait. Even if we tell him, we can wait until after evening self-study. There's no rush."
Let's wait and see.
Even if we get scammed, that's a problem for tomorrow. But tonight, something big is definitely going to happen.
"Haha, we don't need to belittle ourselves. It's true we got scammed, but it's our first time, and we have no experience. Look at Jiang Xiao from the Dragon Kingdom, he doesn't even have a single hair of mourning clothes yet!"
Chapter 389 The Strange Xinyi
Jiang Xiao?
Come to think of it, he didn't seem to take it to heart at all.
Isn't it just mourning clothes?
During the entire lunch break, Jiang Xiao spent his time with Wang Qiang and a group of his cronies at the convenience store downstairs, only leisurely returning to the classroom when the school bell rang.
"Strange, why does lunch break seem to go by so fast?"
The first class in the afternoon was still taught by the homeroom teacher.
Teacher Miejue walked slowly into the classroom, her gaze sharp as lightning, sweeping across the face of every student.
In the huge classroom, the unconventional Jiang Xiao was undoubtedly the most eye-catching one.
Finally, her gaze fell on Jiang Xiao.
Oh?
Jiang Xiao raised an eyebrow; he felt a very familiar chill.
This is more like it, isn't it?
Extinction's pupils turned pitch black in that instant, as if they could devour all light, and his whole being exuded an eerie aura that was hard to describe.
The other students in the class also sensed this change in atmosphere. The chatter gradually stopped, and for a moment the classroom was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
"Jiang Xiao".
Teacher Miejue's voice was deep and magnetic, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.
Jiang Xiao stood up, trying to remain calm.
"Teacher, what's the matter?"
Teacher Miejue slowly walked to Jiang Xiao's desk. There seemed to be a deep darkness surging in her eyes, making people afraid to look directly at her. Her tone also became devoid of any emotion.
"You still have the nerve to sit? Stand up! Do you know what it means to not be wearing mourning clothes?"
Jiang Xiao slowly stood up, but there was no trace of fear on his face.
"I have no choice, really, I'm not lying to you."
Jiang Xiao didn't explain, nor did he bother to. Even if he did explain, Miejue would never believe him.
Besides, head-on confrontation has always been his forte.
With his peach wood sword borrowed, Jiang Xiao had no choice but to resort to the primitive methods.
Should I slap her face first, or kick her in the groin first?
Unexpectedly, Miejue did not make a move, but interrupted him, her voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible sarcasm.
"No way? What do personal difficulties matter when it comes to the rules? Do you want our whole class to lose points because of your mistake?"
The old woman turned and left, her back to Jiang Xiao, her voice echoing in the classroom.
"Rules are meant to maintain order. What would the world be like if everyone broke the rules because of their own difficulties?"
After saying that, she did not continue to blame Jiang Xiao, but began the lesson.
But that eerie atmosphere still lingered in the classroom, making it feel suffocating.
Jiang Xiao sat back down, surprised; he had thought a fight was about to break out.
but
Putting aside personal prejudices, there is some truth to what Extinction said.
These rules were set by the school, and if you break them, you'll drag the whole class down with you.
Jiang Xiao definitely wouldn't have fallen for this trick elsewhere.
