100% Love from the Boss

Ling Tianyi stopped and stood in his place. He looked at the thin little girl. Such a little girl dared to question him, the famous business genius in A City, even in the world. She thought that he did not understand?

“Darling, what’s wrong with you?” Xia Xiaoluo looked at him. For a moment, she didn’t know what to do.

“Hum? I am fine! I am just curious. Do you think that I don’t know this?” Ling Tianyi held Xia Xiaoluo’s shoulders, waiting for her answer.

“Yes! I don’t think you understand why I didn’t buy the pearl necklaces together?” Xia Xiaoluo said.

“Well! Don’t you think that it’s better for you to bargain if you buy them together?” Ling Tianyi said. Although he would not bargain with others, as an excellent businessman and the boss of a multinational group, he knew these basic principles.

“Darling, you are half-right! If there is only one stall selling pearl necklaces in this market, I will buy more things to bargain. But there are many stalls over there. They have more styles. Dou Ya bought there.” Xia Xiaoluo said.

“And then? What are you going to do?” Ling Tianyi was excited suddenly, he was very interested in Xia Xiaoluo’s idea.

“I will go there with this pearl necklace and tell them that I spent 20 yuan on it. If the peddler doesn’t sell me cheaper, I will pretend to leave. It’s much better if you can cooperate with me. You talk about the cheaper necklaces outside with me and we want to buy more. I’m sure the peddler will give me the lowest price.” Xia Xiaoluo said proudly.

“Darling, do you believe that I can buy a necklace with 20 yuan?” Xia Xiaoluo said.

“You clever girl, you calculated everything. If you do business like this, you will be successful!” Ling Tianyi laughed. Although the little girl was stingy, she was very cute.

Finally, Xia Xiaoluo proved her judgment with practical actions. She bought five pearl necklaces there at the price of 20 yuan for each and one conch for free.

“Darling, am I smart?” Xia Xiaoluo asked.

“Aren’t you planning to buy two necklaces for my friend’s wife and his granddaughter? There are four more. What are you going to do?” Ling Tianyi asked. If the little girl bought these only because they were cheap, she did not deserve his praise.

“Of course I am going to give them to your friend’s neighbors on the grassland!” Xia Xiaoluo laughed. “In case someone else comes to visit us, we can send them.”

“You are very thoughtful.” Ling Tianyi nodded with satisfaction. He thought that Xia Xiaoluo was clever.

“But darling, I want to keep one to show off to Dou Ya. She thinks that she is better at bargaining than me. I will prove that I am the best bargainer by showing this necklace to her!” Xia Xiaoluo said proudly.

“The best bargainer!” Ling Tianyi suddenly burst into laughter. The little girl gave herself such a funny nickname.

“Darling, why do you laugh?” Xia Xiaoluo did not like Ling Tianyi laughing at her like this. She would feel embarrassed.

“Okay, I won’t laugh.” Ling Tianyi stopped laughing. “So the best bargainer, where are we going?”

“Let’s go on. We can’t only buy pearl necklaces as gifts; we can buy some key chains and bracelets made of coconut shells.”

“Your friend is a sixty-year-old man. I think that besides the planned shell crafts, we can also send him a delicate flagon. He likes drinking, but he doesn’t like our wine. If we send him a delicate flagon, he will think of us every time he drinks wine.”

“He seems to have a grandson, a boy about my age. He may want to find a girlfriend. We can send him more gifts and let him send them to the little girls on the grassland. How cool it will be!”

Xia Xiaoluo spoke continuously, while Ling Tianyi was listening to her patiently. Although she talked unceasingly, Ling Tianyi liked to listen to her.

Finally, Xia Xiaoluo bought a lot of gifts and shell crafts. Ling Tianyi saw her bargaining skill once again.

Ling Tianyi helped Xia Xiaoluo to carry them. “You are really the best bargainer.”

“That is it!” Xia Xiaoluo was proud. But suddenly she looked unhappy, “Unfortunately, there is no suitable flagon here.”

Ling Tianyi smiled. “It doesn’t matter. Today we bought a lot of things. As for the flagon, we can buy it in the shopping malls.”

“Darling, we ask someone to make one for him. We can engrave your friend’s name and wishes on the flagon, then it will be a unique gift.” Xia Xiaoluo had a new idea.

“Well! That’s okay! It is a good idea!” Ling Tianyi nodded with satisfaction. In fact, he did not expect that Xia Xiaoluo could give him any good idea, but Xia Xiaoluo gave him a surprise.

The pearl necklaces were cheap and in poor quality. The shells and coconut shells were not good. However, Xia Xiaoluo’s ideas and the speed of her reaction made Ling Tianyi satisfied.

“Darling, I am a little hungry!” Xia Xiaoluo said embarrassingly; her stomach was making noise.

“You made an effort in winning the honorable title ‘The best bargainer’. You must be hungry!” Ling Tianyi laughed. He looked around. There was no restaurant that could match his identity.

“Let’s go downtown by taxi!” Ling Tianyi suggested. He refused to take the subway and bus firmly.

“Darling, I know there is a small stall selling spicy hot pot nearby. It’s delicious! Darling, let’s eat it together! I’ll pay for it!” Xia Xiaoluo looked at Ling Tianyi with begging expressions in her eyes. After all, Ling Tianyi would never allow her to eat at roadside stands. But now she was very eager to eat it.

Ling Tianyi did not want to agree, but when he looked at Xia Xiaoluo’s pitiful look, he finally nodded.

“Oh yeah! Great! Darling, I love you!” Xia Xiaoluo cheered. When Ling Tianyi saw that Xia Xiaoluo was happy, he was also happy. He just thought secretly, the little girl liked to eat spicy hot pot. He could ask the chef of Huasheng Group to do some research and then cook clean spicy hot pot for her.

When Xia Xiaoluo took Ling Tianyi to the stall, Ling Tianyi immediately regretted. It was a room less than 10 square meters; the son of the owner was doing his homework, and two cauldrons were placed at the entrance of the door. Low tables and small chairs were put on the pavement. Most of the people came to eat spicy hot pot were girls in ordinary clothes. Although they were young, they looked ugly when they ate.

“Darling, are you sure we are going to eat here?” Ling Tianyi frowned. He hoped that Xia Xiaoluo would regret. Then he could immediately take her to eat delicious food cooked by the top chef.

“Of course, darling, don’t you regret? You promised me. If you go back on it, I will not believe you anymore.” Xia Xiaoluo was afraid that Ling Tianyi would regret, so she talked constantly.

Ling Tianyi clinched his teeth and said. “I will keep my words. Now that I promise you, then I will eat here!”

After Ling Tianyi finished, Xia Xiaoluo went to choose vegetables excitedly, but Ling Tianyi was unhappy. In fact, Ling Tianyi didn’t like it, but he couldn’t go back on it. He cared about what Xia Xiaoluo just said casually. He was afraid that his little wife would not believe him anymore, so he had to eat the spicy hot pot with her.

“Darling, what do you like to eat? I help you to choose vegetables!” After Xia Xiaoluo chose herself, she helped Ling Tianyi to choose vegetables warmly.

“No, I am not hungry. You eat!” Ling Tianyi refused quickly. He was unwilling to stay here. He didn’t want to eat here at all.

“Darling, if you don’t eat, I will feel uncomfortable. You must be hungry after going shopping with me for such a long time. I will help you to choose vegetables, and I’m sure that you will be satisfied. OK?” Xia Xiaoluo smiled. After she finished, she helped Ling Tianyi to choose vegetables without his consent.

“Will you be ill after eating it?” Ling Tianyi said to Xia Xiaoluo, who was sitting at the low table and waiting for her food.

“Of course not, I often eat it. You can see that there are many people.” Xia Xiaoluo said. She saw Ling Tianyi standing all the time, “Daring, sit down! If you do not sit down, you won’t have a seat when someone comes.”

Ling Tianyi was so tall. He usually sat on the leather sofa, so he didn’t want to sit on the small chair!

“Sit down!” Xia Xiaoluo pulled Ling Tianyi, so Ling Tianyi could only sit. But his legs were too long to sit comfortably.

The enthusiastic owner brought the spicy hot pot to them soon. When Xia Xiaoluo saw the delicious food, she immediately ate regardless of her image.

“Why don’t you eat?” Xia Xiaoluo saw that Ling Tianyi was looking at the spicy hot pot all the time and stunned. She asked him to eat.

“I don’t like spicy food!” Ling Tianyi found an excuse.

“Why didn’t you say it? Otherwise, I can ask the owner to cook one without chilli.” Xia Xiaoluo said and stood up, Ling Tianyi quickly pulled her. “Darling, I really don’t like it. You let me go!”

“Well, this is mine, too!” Xia Xiaoluo brought the spicy hot pot in front of Ling Tianyi and looked as if she could eat the two bowls up.

“Take it easy! It’s not good to eat too much!” Ling Tianyi advised.

“It’s not good to waste food!” Xia Xiaoluo ignored the advice from Ling Tianyi and continued to eat.
