I'm putting in twenty yuan!

"Fine, fine, I'll take the loss. You can take another pair; good things come in pairs. I'll take two sets, here's forty yuan!"

Xu Yi thought about it for a moment, realizing that the girl had it tough too.

In this sweltering heat, it wouldn't hurt to let her earn a little more.

"Two pairs? You're being too greedy!"

The girl stared at Xu Yi in shock.

She didn't prepare that many socks.

What should I do if the customer is too enthusiastic?

What if a customer wants to buy more after making a purchase?

What if we don't have enough products?

Honestly.

The girl had never thought about this question before setting up her stall.

After all, for her, the handicraft industry is more of a hobby.

How much it fetches depends entirely on fate; besides, even if you try your best to sell it, you probably won't make much money.

If you can earn enough to buy a cup of milk tea, that's already pretty good.

But now, the girl is confused and even regrets setting up a stall.

I spent so much time and effort making a bunch of handicrafts, but after all that hawking, the ones I sold the most were my own socks?

One pair wasn't enough, you actually want to buy two pairs?

This is absolutely outrageous and utterly perverse!

"No, I'll only buy one pair, or nothing at all!"

The girl said angrily.

This guy in front of me seems like a gentleman, so how can he be so perverted and so self-righteous?

She wanted to scream for help, but there was no reason for it.

After all, they were genuinely acting as a customer.

Xu Yi felt somewhat wronged.

I was patronizing the girl and trying to boost her popularity, but I was still being looked down upon.

How can you reason with this?

Xu Yi took the socks and examined them carefully, suddenly noticing a few small fuzz balls.

"Wait, could this be a second-hand, defective product?"

Xu Yi moved closer to take a look.

"!!!"

The girl immediately stood up, screamed, and snatched the socks from Xu Yi's hand.

"You pervert! How could you hear that in public!"

Even if you want it, you can't do it here. Go... I don't care where you go, just not here!

The girl screamed, glaring angrily at Xu Yi, when suddenly she felt dizzy and fainted from anger.

The crowd immediately surrounded Xu Yi, worried that he would escape.

"Oh no! The girl has fainted from lack of oxygen! It's all your fault for just looking and not buying, and you're all crowding around here fighting over air!"

Xu Yi rushed forward, hugged the girl, and started pinching her philtrum.

Everyone was completely puzzled.

Young man, aren't you going a bit against the natural order?

The reason this girl fainted is because you're such a pervert, isn't it?

"Young man, is the young lady alright?"

An old man hurriedly asked, not bothering to mention Xu Yi.

"It's nothing, it's probably just that I stood up too suddenly, causing insufficient blood supply to the brain, and combined with the hot weather, it's just heatstroke."

Xu Yi said, put the girl on the stool, sat down, and found a fan to fan her.

A moment later, the girl opened her eyes.

"Thank you."

The girl mumbled sleepily. As soon as she opened her eyes, Xu Yi's large face appeared before her, and she was so angry that she didn't want to speak.

"Girl, thank goodness for this young man! If it weren't for him, you would have suffered heatstroke!"

"Young lady, you're just setting up a stall to make a living, don't work too hard!"

"What's so hard about this? I'm selling secondhand goods, and defective ones at that. I'm the one who's having a hard time!"

Just as everyone was offering a few words of advice, Xu Yi began to complain.

"???"

You have the nerve to say that?

Would you buy socks that aren't secondhand?

What do you mean by defective products? If you're so tough, don't buy them, give them to us!

[Negative emotions +100]

A group of resentful eyes stared at Xu Yi, wishing they could slap Xu Yi.

The girl pushed Xu Yi away, packed her things, and turned to leave.

"Girl, you took my money, you should at least give me an explanation!"

"I won't sell it to you anymore, here's your twenty yuan back!"

"Look at you, why are you so temperamental? Just give me a good pair, and that'll be fine."

Xu Yi stared at the girl's retreating figure, utterly speechless.

The young girl is too shy; she dares to sell defective products but doesn't dare to face customers' questions. She's obviously new to setting up a stall.

If it were any other unscrupulous merchant, would they give up the money once it's in their pocket?

Even if it's a defective product, they'll probably turn the tables and say the customer caused it.

"I didn't even spend twenty yuan! What a mess! People who don't know any better would think I'm a penniless wretch!"

Xu Yi shook his head and began searching for a second target.

No.

The money has already been paid out today, so there's no reason to take it back.

If the girl doesn't want it, just give it to someone else.

Suddenly, Xu Yi's eyes lit up as he spotted another girl's stall.

This girl draws handicrafts.

"Girl, your sketch is pretty good. Give me one of you without clothes on!"

"Why are you staring at me like that? I'm warning you, I only have twenty yuan. If you draw the clothes, I won't pay you for any extra hours!"

"What do you mean I'm a pervert? You just draw the face and not the body, isn't that enough? Is what I'm saying so hard to understand?"

"What do you mean by 'so this is how you don't draw clothes'? Are there other ways to do it without drawing clothes?"

[Negative emotions +100]

Twenty minutes later.

Xu Yi walked out of the pedestrian street, satisfied, holding a portrait that only depicted a human face.

Today was really great, I spent twenty yuan to install something big.

It's time to eat.

After finishing his meal, Xu Yi planned to end his ordinary day Association President and continue his efforts to Film Industry Purification.

"Boy, today is your death anniversary!"

Xu Yi had just arrived at the car and placed the portrait on the back seat when he felt someone press a knife against his waist.

"???"

Xu Yi was shocked.

What's going on?

It's just a twenty-yuan portrait painting, is it really worth robbing?

Although he's the Association President, the problem is that all he Association President is impose fines, not pocket money, and he's only been in office for a few days. Is it really necessary to be so eager to rob someone?

"Dude, you guys must have misunderstood me. I'm really not a rich man!"

"I used to be a food delivery guy, and I did have some money back then, but ever since I invested, I'm only left with debt!"

Xu Yi said cautiously.

These days, anyone with even a little ambition is in debt.

Think of how carefree he used to be, with assets worth hundreds of millions, able to have whatever he wanted, even able to invest in movies.

However, ever since I started making Huangmen Chicken, I've fallen into a deep pit.

No one had ever told him that the restaurant industry was so expensive.

Hundreds of millions were invested, but there wasn't even a ripple; it would take at least six months to see any results.

Waaah, if I'd known it would turn out like this, I wouldn't have tried to be cool in the first place.

Debt? You'll be poor?

Boss Chen sneered, "Kid can afford a nice car now, how could he be poor?"

What are they?

They are the truly poor ones!

They're almost unaffordable for gas on their Xuan Yi; who dares to be poorer than them?

Xu Yi remained silent.

Although he has a system, the problem is that even with the system, he cannot change his mortal body.

The system can't grant him cyber ascension or mechanical immortality.

In short, the system is simply too incompetent.

"What did you say, you brat? I'm warning you, behave yourself, get in the car right now, we're going to the Back Alley Park!"
