Chapter 163 After the old house caught fire (13)
Chu Xiang felt that this person's way of speaking sounded familiar, but the boss didn't give her any time to think about it. He quickly introduced, "These are all newly arrived products. Miss, take a look at what you need and pick whatever you want. The ones in my store today are 50% off everything! ”
Chu Xiang was surprised, "50% off?"
The boss couldn't figure out what her tone meant, so he cautiously held out three fingers, "What about 30% off?"
Chu Xiang: "Three folds?"
The boss swallowed and made an uncertain voice, "Do you want a 10% discount?"
Chu Xiang was a little hard to understand, "I almost thought you were going to give me things for free."
"So that's it. If you had told me earlier, I would have given it to you for free!"
Chu Xiang was stunned, "Send it to me for free? Then how do you make money by opening a store?"
The boss thought to himself: Where do I need to make money?
But Chu Xiang's expression was full of doubts. He later realized that there was something wrong with the way he did business, so he quickly used his clever mind to make up for it and said: "Today is our opening day." Reward, and you are a friend of Mr. Eugene..."
"Eugene has said hello to you, so can I still buy things for free?"
The boss stammered, "Well... that's it."
Chu Xiang raised his hand and touched his chin, thoughtfully.
She picked out a few things she needed, but she didn't really take them for free. Instead, she asked the boss to charge according to the market price. However, the boss seemed even more confused than her as a customer. How much were the items worth? I couldn't say anything for a long time.
In the end, Chu Xiang roughly estimated the price based on common sense in life and gave him the money.
When the boss sent Chu Xiang out, he looked at the banknotes in his hand and felt like a hot potato.
Not long after, his cell phone rang.
When I answered the phone, the dog-like man's voice came over there.
"The security in the neighborhood has not been very good recently. Yesterday there was a murderer wandering around with a butcher knife, and today there are gangsters who will stop and rob single women on the road."
The boss's eyes were blank, "Is there such a thing as security in our neighborhood? And what about the gangsters who rob single women on the road?"
The person over there sighed, "Ovid, have you forgotten that if I say there is something, then there must be something."
After hanging up the phone, Ovid finally couldn't help cursing, "You must be sick!"
He hurriedly tore off the skin on his face and ran out.
Chu Xiang held an umbrella in one hand and a shopping bag in the other, walking back toward the sun. She was still thinking about what had just happened in the daily necessities store.
Suddenly, a figure rushed in front of her.
This is a young man dressed in hip-hop style. He holds a knife in his hand and yells at Chu Xiang carelessly: "Stop, stop!"
He must have been running very fast, his breathing was erratic, and there was a layer of sweat on his face, so he couldn't speak fluently.
There was no one else passing by around. Chu Xiang was alone, and it was difficult to compare with an adult man in terms of strength.
She asked: "What do you want to do?"
The young man wiped the sweat from his face and said simply: "Robbery!"
Chu Xiang felt more and more that she had been deceived by the Internet. When she was looking for information, the Internet said that the security of the Ivy Community was very good, and that no crime had ever occurred. In this "free" country, it was simply unsafe. .
However, she encountered two dangers in a short period of time.
She said: "If I give you the money, you will let me go?"
The gangster said: "Okay, as long as you stop playing tricks and take out all the money, I will let you go." Then, the gangster was suddenly attacked from behind, and a hand grabbed his shoulder, and he easily He pinned his whole body to the ground.
The brutal gangster had almost no power to fight back. His face was on the ground, and it hurt from being pressed. He raised his eyes desperately, "Hey, are you acting——"
——It’s too much!
Before he could finish his sentence, the hand on his head tightened, and his entire head was pressed against the ground. You could even hear the sound of his skull cracking and see the cracks on the ground.
Eugene was still wearing the very deceptive black suit, rigorous and meticulous, but now his action of kneeling on one knee and buckling a man to the ground was very simple and rough.
At this moment, his golden hair was shining in the sun, and his blue eyes were like flashing lights in the sea. The man who had always been gentle suddenly showed his strength, it was like a magic weapon descending from the sky.
Eugene asked warmly: "Miss Chu, are you injured?"
Chu Xiang shook his head, "I'm fine."
"It's my fault that I came too late to give you another bad memory. You can rest assured that this person will be sent to the police station and receive the punishment he deserves."
Lilith jumped out from nowhere. She skillfully pulled out a rope and tied up the gangster whose head was almost broken.
Eugene stood up straight and said, "Lilith, the bad guys should be punished and leave it to Officer Ovid."
"Lilith got it!" Lilith grabbed one of the gangster's legs with one hand and jumped away.
The gangster who was dragged on the ground bumped into the corner several times, and from time to time there was a "squeaking" sound from his body. He who was still moving at first was completely motionless now, and was dragged mercilessly into the shadow without sunlight.
Eugene adjusted his sleeves and smoothed the wrinkles of his clothes. He came to Chu Xiang, took the umbrella from her hand, and held it above her head to block the scorching sun. He looked guilty, "Miss Chu , if I had gone out with you at that time, maybe you wouldn’t have encountered such a terrible thing.”
He apologized deeply, "This is all my fault for not insisting on going out with you."
Chu Xiang: "Do you like me?"
Eugene's performance was getting better when he suddenly heard these words from her. He didn't react for a moment. Rarely, he looked a little confused, "What?"
"When I had lunch today, you were very concerned about whether I had eaten well."
"You said hello to the owner of the daily necessities store, paid for me in advance and let me get the things for free."
"And now, you, a person who usually falls down after just a few steps, actually exploded into a small universe and rushed out to defeat the bad guy who wanted to rob me..."
"Although I really don't want to say that I feel too good about myself, but with so many things coming together, it's hard for me not to doubt whether you like me."
Eugene couldn't answer the call because the plot had developed beyond his expectation and had derailed to a point that was unfamiliar to him.
Chu Xiang took a step forward, raised his face, and smiled with interest: "Do you know the suspension bridge effect?"
The distance between them was too close. If they were a little closer, she would be able to press against his chest.
Eugene held his breath involuntarily and said, "I've heard of it."
"So, you fell in love with me because I saved you while we were surviving in a dangerous environment last night?"
There was a little more sarcasm in Eugene's smile, "How could I-"
"Okay, if you like me, then we can try to date."
Eugene's voice stopped abruptly.
Chu Xiang tilted his head, blinked, and asked: "What did you want to say just now?"
Eugene turned his face slightly and avoided her gaze, "What I want to say is that you are right."
