Everyone listened to the director, looking utterly exasperated.
"Director, why don't you just say you're after the money in our pockets? Why go to all this trouble?" Jiang Xiubai pressed a hand to his forehead, speechless. Even after landing a big sponsor, the director was still as stingy and money-grubbing as ever.
"Our business genius of a director is back again," Xia Yu remarked, leaning against Hou Yunqi beside him.
"Other people offer things for 9.9 yuan with free shipping. Here, the director's prices start at 99." Yun Xi touched his pocket mournfully. He had only just saved a little from the grocery money in the previous episode, and now he had fallen into the director's spending trap again. Even when he bought things for 9.9 yuan with free shipping at home, he had to think it over for quite a while.
"99 is a bit low. The director's prices have to start at 999 at least." Gu Yunlan protested on the director's behalf.
Listening to their conversation, the director looked slightly embarrassed. Could he tell them that his cheapest item was only 199? If he started at 999, he was afraid the guests would gang up and beat him.
[Hahaha, the profiteering director really is back for a limited time.]
[200-yuan soda: it won't buy you a loss, it won't buy you a scam, but it will buy you a bellyful of rage.]
[Hahaha, sis above even made it rhyme.]
[The director looks so guilty. Did they guess right? Do prices really start at 99? If it's something big, we won't say anything, but if it's still water, soda, and other drinks, then you really will have earned that profiteer title, director.]
[Judging by his expression, their guess might even be too low. (This is going to be rough.)]
