When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 460

Chapter 460: Chapter 162: The Green Tea Female Supporting Character in a Period Piece (49)

Jiang Zishi’s eyes lit up as he, too, grasped the brilliance of the auction idea.

He was quite experienced at reading people and knew that the combination of the investment group’s curiosity and the wealthy families’ love for flowers in the Capital City was more than enough to make an auction a success.

The pair was already lost in a wonderful daydream of a multi-win scenario: saving face, currying favor with their connections, and turning a quick profit on the resale.

Chi Yun’er lowered her gaze, asking softly in feigned confusion, "Did I ever say I don’t like flowers?"

"Since you’ve already spent the money, if you can’t bear to part with them, just say so. Why go through all that pretense just now?"

Jiang Zishi froze.

But the assistant beside him quickly interjected in broken Mandarin, "Ma’am, it’s one thing to run a business and quote exorbitant prices. But our Young Master, out of consideration for your past, didn’t haggle and even took a loss to buy these for a huge sum."

"Don’t push your luck. If there’s a bouquet you like, just keep it. Our Young Master never said he was giving *all* of them to you."

Chi Yun’er shrugged and nodded. Saying nothing more, she simply held out her hand again. "Payment for the goods!"

Jiang Zishi winced as he wrote out a check for one million Pounds.

Claiming she was afraid of being scammed, Chi Yun’er made a special trip to the post office to cash the check into RMB. Only then did she instruct her staff to load all the flowers onto a truck and have them delivered to the hotel.

She even took the responsibility of writing out five full pages of detailed care instructions for the plants.

"I must say, Comrade Chi Yun’er, now that you’ve closed such a big deal, are you just going to wash your hands of the matter?" Bian Yumin said with a light laugh. "We’re planning to sell these flowers. If you leave them in the care of laymen like us, they’ll probably wilt in a day or two."

"That’s just not acceptable, no matter where you shop."

"So, Comrade Chi Yun’er, would it be possible to hire you to look after them for a few days?"

"Rest assured, we’ll pay you well. We certainly won’t ask you to work for free."

Jiang Zishi’s heart leaped. A certain phrase popped into his head: ’Proximity breeds opportunity!’

He couldn’t resist squeezing Bian Yumin’s hand, nodding with a smile. "Ten thousand a day. How does that sound?"

Chi Yun’er stared at the pair as if they were a couple of fools.

They might as well have hung a sign on their faces that read: ’Loaded and clueless, come rip me off!’

"Alright," Chi Yun’er agreed with a nod, "but my shop can’t be left short-staffed."

"Payment first," she said, lazily holding out her hand once more. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
