Chapter 1238: If You Don"t Pay, You Might Not Be Able to Leave
Lin Yi was already used to the onlookers.
It was the same when he set up his stall at Tangchen First Cla.s.s.
Some mature young women would probably come over to ask for his phone number in a while and say that they wanted to have a paid physical interaction with him.
Just as Lin Yi had expected, more and more people surrounded him after he set up the stall.
From the elderly up to those who have just learned to walk, everyone gathered around the fruit stand.
No one cared why someone would set up a stall in a place like w.a.n.gfujing Street.
They only wanted to know how to contact this handsome little brother.
"That brother selling fruits is so handsome."
The person speaking was a young woman in her twenties, wearing a pair of denim shorts and a trendy pair of grey Yeezys.
"What"s the use of being handsome? He"s just a fruit seller. The money he earns in a month isn"t even enough for you to buy a pair of shoes."
The person who spoke was standing beside the girl.
Judging from his hairstyle, it was obvious that he had meticulously styled his hair. He wore a necklace with silver feathers around his neck alongside green cargo pants.
When it came to fashion sense, the two of them matched each other very well. It was obvious that they were a couple.
The two of them should be quite well-off. After all, the Yeezys under the girl"s feet were worth more than 5,000 yuan.
Ordinary people could not afford to wear them.
"I"m just saying, he"s indeed quite handsome. He"s even better looking than those popular celebrities."
"I"ll say it again. It"s useless just being handsome. You have to be rich." The young man said disdainfully.
"Look at those rich second-generation heirs. They"re not even as good-looking as me, but they have endless women around them. This is the appeal of money."
The young girl smiled as if she agreed with her boyfriend.
"You"re right, but I think his fruits look nice. I"d like to buy some back for dinner."
"Sure things. Those fruits are indeed quite appetizing."
"Let"s go and buy some. I haven"t eaten lychees in a long time."
The two of them walked over together. The young man looked at Lin Yi"s stall and casually picked up a colorful lychee to taste.
Instantly, his eyes lit up!
"How sweet!"
"Brother, how much is your lychee? Give me five pounds."
Since his girlfriend liked to eat them, he naturally had to buy more.
Seeing that the customer was so generous, Lin Yi didn"t argue with him about the small matter of him tasting the produce.
"3,000 yuan for 500g, so 5 pounds will be a total of 15,000 yuan. Just scan the QR code."
Hearing Lin Yi"s price, the two of them were stunned.
Even the surrounding onlookers were stunned speechless.
What kind of fruit could be sold for 3,000 yuan for 500g?
Even if he wanted to rob them, he shouldn"t do it so openly, right?
"What did you say? 3,000 yuan for 500g?!"
At this moment, not only was the young man angry, even his girlfriend"s expression was unpleasant.
This person was really too much. Did he think that just because he was good-looking, he could sell fruits for an astronomical price?
At the same time, Zhang Baotian, who was not far away, also saw Lin Yi"s situation.
However, he had no intention of helping.
This was just a small matter. Lin Yi could easily resolve it with his own ability. He probably didn"t need his help.
If Lin Yi was not careful and attracted the attention of the relevant departments, then Zhang Baotian would step in to help.
"You didn"t mishear. It"s 3,000 yuan for 500g. You"ve tasted it too. People who have eaten it say that it"s worth it," Lin Yi said.
"Kid, are you joking with me? Do you dare to sell this lousy fruit for 3,000 yuan for 500g?"
"What are you talking about? Didn"t you just say that this fruit is delicious? Now you"re saying it"s lousy fruit?"
"I think you"re trying to scam us!"
"It"s clearly priced!"
"What do you mean by clearly priced? Where"s the price tag?" The young man said angrily.
"Did you raise the price because I ate one first? Are you here to scam me?"
Lin Yi scratched his head speechlessly.
"If you can"t afford it, just tell me. I didn"t force you to buy it, but you ate a lychee. According to the price, it"s about 100 yuan. If you can"t afford five catties, then at least pay me for what you ate."
Lin Yi wasn"t a petty person. He wouldn"t care about a mere lychee.
However, he did not like this person, so he decided to be calculative.
The young man smiled disdainfully and looked at Lin Yi with disdain.
"What if I don"t want to pay?"
Lin Yi shrugged. "Then you might not be able to walk away."
"Wow, I didn"t expect you to be so hot-tempered. You don"t sound like you"re from Yanjing either, but you have to understand that this isn"t a place for you to act like a boss!"
"I"m selling fruit here, so I have plenty of time. Try it if you don"t believe me."
"Are you threatening me?"
The young man smiled at Lin Yi.
"I don"t have that much free time. I"m just stating the facts. After eating, you naturally have to pay. You"re already an adult, so don"t tell me you don"t even understand this logic?"
"Of course I understand, and if you sold it at a price of a few hundred yuan for 500g, I"d accept it. However, after I tasted one, you immediately priced it at 3,000 yuan. Don"t you think your actions are a bit shameless?"
"I don"t think so, because I"ve always sold it at this price, and I"ve gotten a lot of repeat customers. Of course, it"s up to you whether to believe me or not. I don"t care, as long as you pay the money."
After hearing Lin Yi"s words, the surrounding people nodded at him.
He felt that the young man was right.
After tasting it, the shopkeeper immediately raised the price. He was clearly at fault.
"He"s so good-looking, but I didn"t expect him to be so dirty."
"It seems that good-looking people like these are all idle and impractical. I guess it"s true that when looking for a boyfriend, you shouldn"t go for someone too handsome. As long as they have a car and a house in Yanjing, it"s enough. Looks aren"t that important."
Lin Yi glanced at the 180-pound girl.
"Like you ever f*cking stood a chance!"
"Let"s go. Hurry up and give him the money. Just treat it as dismissing a beggar."
The girl pulled the young man"s arm and said.
She didn"t want to cause trouble. She just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
At this moment, she no longer had a good impression of Lin Yi.
"Don"t worry, I"ll give him the money, but I don"t have any cash here. I have to call my friends and ask them to bring some over."
The young man was holding his phone. "Coincidentally, they opened a new shop nearby. I"ll make a call and be here in a few minutes."
With that, the young man looked at Lin Yi. "Stay here and don"t leave. I"ll get them to bring the money over now."
"This is where I set up my stall. Why would I leave?"
"Good, then just wait."
With that, the young man made a call and said loudly,
"Brother Chen, I was extorted by someone on w.a.n.gfujing Street. Can you send me some money and also bring some people over?"
"It"s right across the street from McDonald"s on North Straight. You"ll see us when you get here."
"There"s no need for so many. Just a dozen people will do. I"ll wait for you guys. Just come quickly."
