Chapter 38 04% Just then , the shop assistant brought the ginseng over . Shannon checked it casually and was about to put it away . Suddenly , Myra said , This looks good . Ill have one , too . The shop assistant replied , Im sorry , maam , but any ginseng over a hundred years old requires a reservation . Id be happy to register you for an appointment now , or perhaps youd like to look at some of our other products ? Myra pulled a long face . What do you mean ? She didnt have an appointment , did she ? The shop assistant answered , Shes not like the other customers besides , she did have an appointment. Hows she different ? Are you looking down upon me ? Do you know who I am ? Myra looked at her arrogantly . Employees of Rainbow Trade , a high end shop in Lorston , were sensible , of course . The shop assistant replied with respect , Im sorry , Mrs. Its a rule in our store . I am not authorized to sell you supplements without an appointment . Myra was completely enraged . Are you kidding me ? Do you guys even want to stay in business ? Acting so smug right in front of me what , you think our familys easy to mess with ? Enjoying yourself giving a shop assistant a hard time ? suddenly Shannon asked bluntly . Hearing this , Myra looked at her disdainfully . Who said you got to speak ? Shannon rolled her eyes . Why couldnt I ? Who gave you the shit authority to silence the others ? Myra was furious . Y You have no manners , do you ? Such vulgar language . Manners are for people who deserve them . As for you ? Yeah , I dont think so . Shannon sneered . You … Myras expression changed . Shannon mocked , You what ? You arent even qualified to buy ginseng . I feel embarrassed for you . But if you like the one Ive just bought , I may consider selling it to you at a reasonable price . Looking at her , Myra asked , What do you mean ? Smiling brightly , Shannon answered , I can sell it to you if you pay more . Myra frowned . Before she said anything , Beatrice beat her to it , saying , Mom , no . See how complacent she is ? I bet shell rip us off . No ? Alright then , Shannon sighed , looking disappointed . Then she turned to the shop assistant . You have 500 year old ginseng , right ? Ill take that , too . OK , the shop assistant said . Furious , Beatrice stopped the shop assistant . What kind of store is this ? Youve got stock , but you wont sell to us ? Weve got should know better than to piss off us ! money , okay ? And if you know who we are , you Im sorry . Im not at liberty to sell . I … The shop assistant suddenly saw Shannon nodding at her . So , after a pause , she said , Ill call Mr. Tucker to see if we can do something about it . Soon , she came back and told Beatrice and Myra , Mr. Tucker says youre our VIPS and therefore our walk ins , but todays minimum purchase for VIPS must total at least three million . 3 million dollars was just the price of a necklace to Beatrice and Myra , and they were OK with it . 1/3 15:16 Mon , Dec 30 Chapter 38 Beatrice looked at Shiatmon arrogantly . So what if we dont have an appointment ? We got what we wanted anyway . Congratulations , Shannon said flatly . Her attitude made Beatrice suspicious , who looked at her . It bugs you a lot , right? No. Im quite pleased . Shannon was being honest . 14/0 Yet Beatrice wouldnt believe her and snorted , . Yeah , right . She pointed at the ginseng Shannon wanted to buy . Ill take that one . The shop assistant hesitated . But this lady here has already called dibs . Beatrice snorted , She hasnt paid , has she ? Shannon smiled , Ever heard of the concept of honesty in business ? I called dibs first , so its mine unless I decide I dont want it . Shannons implication bugged Beatrice , who pulled a long face and looked at the shop assistant . You get commissions for everything you sell , right ? The more you sell , the more commissions you get . Sell me this , and Ill give you an extra 50 thousand dollars . The shop assistant felt a bit awkward . Its not how things work here , Miss Gross . Myra chimed in , How much does it cost ? Ill pay you double the price . The ginseng was quite rare ; her father was getting old , and this ginseng would do good to him , so she was set to have it . With a half smile , Shannon glanced at Myra . Gross , youre well off indeed . But you shouldnt act like a bandit , dont you think ? Remaining calm , Myra said righteously , Ill pay . What kind of bandits does that ? You can feel free to double the price , too . Shannon replied lazily , That wont be necessary . You can have it ! Then she turned to the shop assistant . You have another one just the same , right ? Ill take that one . Myra was stunned , and then her face turned sullen . As she looked at the shop assistant taking out another ginseng identical to the one she bought , she suddenly said , Ill take this one , too . She figured that it was not a bad deal , since each ginseng was of fine quality . Since it was a regular supplement in their family , buying two was acceptable . Shannon deliberately looked displeased and said coldly , Mrs. Gross , youre going too far . I didnt have any objection when you took the first one , and now you want this one , too ? You know what ? Even the doubled price is nothing to me . I didnt raise the price simply because I didnt want to cross you . Do you really think I cant afford it , Mrs. Gross ? Ill be OK even with the tripled price or more its all just pocket change to me . Ill even buy whatever the shop is selling . She looked at Beatrice and Myra while continuing , Why the silence ? Youre not competing with me anymore ? Ran out of cash ? Her gaze turned pitiful . I really envy you two . Using hubbys or daddys supplementary credit cards every day , carefully sticking to the spending limit to save a buck or two . So frugal , so responsible . Not like my husband , who handed me the main black card and told me to swipe to my hearts content . Cant stop me from blowing through money if he tried . 15:16 Mon , Dec 30 Chapter 39 Title: Crimson Revenge: Bride Sacrifice (English-dubbed) Embark on a riveting journey with Misty, a fresh police academy graduate, as she fearlessly undertakes a perilous mission to infiltrate the enigmatic 'Divine Marriage' ritual in Florals Village.
