BXBX NOVEL Chapter 759: 759: Buy One Get Two Free, I've Really Lost Out
She saw a man with a backwards black baseball cap, a cool and swaggering personalized gold necklace, loose-fitting ripped jeans, white skate shoes, oozing a hip-hop vibe all over.
She was reluctant to recognize him, but remembering her dad mentioned the master had recently been living nearby, she tentatively called out, “Master?”
The man passing by stopped in his tracks and looked at her.
Lin Gantang: “…” Is it really the master?
She began to speak, “You…”
Before she could finish, the master pretended as if his glance towards her was accidental rather than being stopped by her calling out. He looked up at the sky, then at the ground, and turned to walk away.
As he walked away, of course, Lin Gantang gave chase.
However, as she pursued, he ran even faster.
Lin Gantang stopped chasing and took out a bill, placing it on the ground and yelled loudly, “Master, don’t go, I just want to ask if this one hundred yuan might be yours?”
The person ahead halted abruptly and turned around.
He eyed the pinkish bill on the ground, walked back, and after a glance around, bent over to pick it up.
Lin Gantang seized the opportunity to grab his arm, “Why are you running?”
“Why are you chasing me? I’m on vacation and not taking any jobs,” the master pocketed the money.
“Even if you’re not taking jobs, you don’t need to run. My dad has been looking for you many times. Considering he’s a regular customer, he has quite a bit of trust in you. I was just curious to see what you look like and wanted to ask if you could have a look at an amulet for my husband,” Lin Gantang held onto him and didn’t let go.
The master, hearing that it involved a regular customer, felt reassured.
“Your husband? Your husband is fine,” he straightened his back, adjusted his clothes and cool accessories, more concerned with her earlier remark, “Now you’ve seen me, right? Don’t I look handsome?”
Lin Gantang looked at the under-the-cap dirty braids and his characteristic outfit, and against her conscience said, “Handsome, incredibly so, especially the mole between your eyebrows—it elevates your entire aura. You exude an imposing and spirited demeanor, clearly a talent standing out from the crowd.”
The master was immensely pleased with the praise, “You flatter me too much.”
“Not at all, just telling the truth. So, do you know who my husband is?”
“Of course, of course,” the master remembered his phone call was still ongoing and casually cut it off, “Your father is?”
“…” Is this man reliable? Lin Gantang eyed him skeptically and answered: “My father is Lin Mingzhuo.”
Hearing that, the master suddenly remembered, clapped his hands and said, “I know now, the one who inquired about the wedding date. So you’re married, right? Do you want me to calculate your children’s fate? It’s five hundred thousand, and I won’t do it for free.”
“Five hundred thousand?” Lin Gantang’s eyes widened as she gripped his arm, “I heard you tell the person on the phone that an amulet costs ninety-nine thousand each? Was that also the price my dad paid for the amulet?”
The master thought she was dissatisfied with the price and felt a bit uneasy, “That… there was no discount back then, so it was more expensive. Alright, I’ll compensate you for the difference.”
He took out an identical amulet from his pocket, “I don’t have money on me, how about buy one get one free?”
Lin Gantang, who had asked impulsively, stared at the amulet. So, how much had her dad actually spent?
The master, seeing her silent, thought she was unsatisfied and brought out another one, “Buy one get two, now I really am at a loss.”
Lin Gantang accepted it, “My brother, my sister-in-law, and my nephew still don’t have any.”
The master felt the pinch, “Don’t you already have three?”
“My dad, my husband, and me, aren’t they all accounted for?” Lin Gantang’s sincere eyes met his, “How about this, I’ll pay for the next three, and you give a regular customer a discount on top of the discount?”
“Sure thing,” the master was immediately invigorated.
