Since Han Peng got a girlfriend, he often stayed out at night, but this was fine, and it was more convenient for Nie Bing. Otherwise, the matter between the little ghost girl Yingying and Xiaoyu will definitely attract the other party's attention.
At noon the next day, Nie Bing took advantage of his lunch break to visit a large nearby pharmacy, Baicaotang, which is said to be a time-honored brand.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw many Chinese medicinal materials, as well as large vats of medicinal wine. These wines were contained in half-meter-high glass jars. Some of them were filled with Chinese medicine, and some were very scary. All the snakes soaked in were colorful snakes, some of which were even alive. Through the glass tank, one could clearly see their eyes moving occasionally.
Nie Bing came to the window sill. There were many white-flowered ginsengs here, but at a glance, it was obvious that they were artificially grown. Each one was as fat as a white radish. Sure enough, when Nie Bing came to the wild mountain exhibition stand inside, I found that these wild ginsengs are very thin, have extremely long beards, and have many wrinkles on the surface. The ones with slightly better appearance and humanoid shapes cost 700,000 to 800,000 yuan!
¡°Waiter, what¡¯s the lowest price for this ginseng?¡± Nie Bing asked, pointing to one of the thin and inconspicuous wild ginseng with a price tag of 300,000 yuan.
The waiter was sitting inside with his head down and playing with his mobile phone. He had not greeted Nie Bing much before. When he saw him asking questions, the corners of his mouth curled up and he said indifferently: "We don't bargain here, 300,000 is 300,000!" I said in my heart, this kind of people are the most annoying. They can¡¯t afford something and they just ask.
"Oh." Nie Bing felt a little displeased. When he was a beggar, he received such contemptuous looks every day. But now that he has returned to a normal life, does he still have to receive such bad looks? However, he was not in trouble. He just narrowed his eyes and asked calmly, "How can a businessman not negotiate the price?"
The waiter sneered, raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Nie Bing, and said, "It's true that we don't bargain, but if you have a membership card, you can get a discount. Do you have a membership card?"
"No. How to deal with this?" Nie Bing didn't want to argue with such a superficial person, so he asked patiently.
"When you spend over 1,000, you will get a free card. If you apply separately, it is 50." The waiter said lazily.
"Play a few off?"
"9.50% off, but things like wild ginseng require a gold card to get the discount. Gold cards can only be obtained by customers who have spent more than 100,000 yuan." The waiter said casually, but he was full of contempt in his heart. You are so poor, and you still ask about wild ginseng. Regarding the price of ginseng, although this wild ginseng is only thirty years old, can you afford it? Don't take a pee and look in the mirror.
"Then I bought this ginseng for 300,000 yuan. It's already over 100,000 yuan. Just give me a 50% discount!" Nie Bingxin said. If she didn't have enough money, she had to borrow it from Mo Xiaofeng first and pay it back later. give her. Who would have thought that things are so expensive? The cheapest wild ginseng costs 300,000 yuan.
"I borrowed it from Mo Xiaofeng, and he was more open-minded. But I borrowed it from Zhang Tong'er, but he was always a little embarrassed to say it.
The waiter curled his lips disdainfully and said, "That's not okay. According to our store rules, only when you first spend over 100,000 yuan to get a gold card, and then buy other things, you can get a discount!" Xin said, 300,000 yuan is 95% off. It's a discount of 15,000 yuan. I don't know if this guy even has the change for the discount. He actually wants to buy wild ginseng. He's too lazy to go around with you and waste time.
She has worked in this store for many years, and has long since developed a pair of "smart eyes" that she claims to know people. Nie Bing is ordinary, shabby, and young. At first glance, he does not seem to be the kind of person who is either rich or noble. After the waiter said this, he lowered his head to play with his mobile phone and ignored Nie Bing again.
Nie Bing was feeling depressed and thought, I will use money to beat you to death, you are a bitch, you are a bitch, you look down on others! However, he doesn't carry so much cash now. Then I thought about it, there is more than just your store in Wutong City, so I don¡¯t believe there are other stores that don¡¯t have wild ginseng. Maybe the price is even better. If you miss this business, it's your loss. He immediately turned around and left.
At this moment, a car stopped outside the door, and a man who looked like a manager strode in. When he saw Nie Bing, he couldn't help but be startled, and then he immediately greeted him with a smile and enthusiasm: "Oh, isn't this? Mr. Nie?"
Nie Bing was stunned, who was this person? He thought about it for a moment, and vaguely remembered that the last time Dong Shengfeng came to the hospital to get jewelry, this person seemed to be following behind, but at that time Nie Bing Bing mainly talked with Dong Shengfeng and didn't pay much attention to the manager, but he had the magical ability of photographic memory, so he remembered it as soon as he recalled it.
"You must be Manager Zhang, what a coincidence." Seeing the other person stretching out his hands, Nie Bing shook hands with the other person politely and said with a smile. After all, it's not okay for others to be so polite to you. The so-called sedan chair is carried by everyone and others are polite. You can't be like that waiter who looks down on others and ignores them.
Beside, the waiter heard the conversation, raised his head, and was stunned for a moment: "This, this, what is going on?"
She recognized this Manager Zhang. It was said that he was one of Dong Shengfeng's right-hand men and had a high status in the Shengfeng Group. This Chinese medicine store also belonged to the Shengfeng Group, although it was not directly under the management of Manager Zhang. But as long as Manager Zhang says a word to his boss, he can immediately open himself up.
Nie Bing noticed the shocked expression on the waiter's face and couldn't help but smile. He said to himself, "Everyone is a bitch. Don't let me look down on you again."
"Manager Zhang, why do you have time to visit the Chinese medicine store today?" Nie Bing asked casually.
Manager Zhang explained: "I'm not my wife yet, but I got a beauty recipe from somewhere and asked me to buy the medicinal ingredients for her. I thought we have it under the name of our Shengfeng Group, and it's close to where I work." Not far away, he drove over at noon! Mr. Nie, uh, are you here to buy medicinal materials?"
Seeing Mr. Zhang on the road like this, Nie Bing nodded and said: "I came to take a look at wild ginseng, but the price is too expensive. Why, this store is the property of your Shengfeng Group?" In fact, he had already I guessed it, but I was a little unsure, so I asked tentatively.
Manager Zhang immediately said: "Yes, yes, Baicaotang is one of the subsidiaries of Shengfeng Group, specializing in traditional Chinese medicine pieces. Our Shengfeng Group not only has jewelry and traditional Chinese medicine industries, but also has many other industries, such as Western medicine, He is involved in chemical industry, biology, machinery, real estate, etc." There is a sense of pride and pride in his words.
Nie Bing smiled and said: "That's really good."
"Come on, come on, Mr. Nie, please sit down! Xiao Jin, why are you still standing there? Why don't you go and pour two cups of tea? Why don't you even recognize me?" Manager Zhang looked at the waiter named Jin and asked. The arrogant waitress who had previously despised Nie Bing was stunned and shouted dissatisfied.
"Okay, okay, right away, right away." Xiao Jin jumped up immediately, stuffed the phone into the pocket behind his butt, and went in to prepare tea.
At the same time, several other waiters in the store were whispering secretly from a distance. "Xiao Jin is in trouble now."
"Yes, it seems that I made a mistake and hit a brick wall. It would be fine if that handsome guy didn't care. If he really does, the leader will probably give him a small gold."
"I've long been disgusted with this kind of woman, so I'll just let her go."
"Unexpectedly, that poor young man with an unattractive appearance actually recognized Manager Zhang."
"More than just acquaintance, Manager Zhang seems to be very enthusiastic about him. Well, his attitude is very low."
"Then what is this young man's background? Could he be the son of a noble family?"
¡°It doesn¡¯t look like it, the clothes you wear are just too¡ vulgar!¡±
"Don't judge people by their appearance!"
Soon, a manager on duty in the store heard the commotion and came down from the office upstairs. He said with a smile: "It turns out that Mr. Zhang is here. Welcome to come and guide the work!"
Manager Zhang smiled and said, "Don't be ridiculous. I'm here to buy some medicinal materials. Just give me a discount!" He immediately handed over a purchase list.
The manager on duty took it over, looked at it, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang wants to buy something. There is no need to come in person. Just make a call and I will have someone deliver it to you directly!"
Manager Zhang said: "After dinner, let's go out for a walk. It's just idle time anyway."
Immediately, the duty manager looked at Nie Bing and asked doubtfully: "I wonder if this little brother is"
Manager Zhang said mysteriously: "This is the chairman's friend, you must not ignore it." He said in his heart that Dong Shengfeng had expressed his intention to recruit Nie Bing in private more than once, but he valued it very much. And I heard that this kid is the king of killers. The jewel-stealing killer must be very good. According to the comrades from the Public Security Bureau who solved the case, he is famous internationally. But later he fell into the hands of Nie Bing. This kind of person must not be offended.
However, he didn¡¯t want to explain what was going on here to the manager on duty. In his opinion, the manager on duty was not high enough. It's okay to sit and drink tea with you, chat and laugh, but it's hard to reveal confidential things.
At this time, Xiao Jin brought three cups of tea and placed them respectfully in front of the three of them. When the tea was served to Nie Bing, the woman felt a little embarrassed and looked ugly, but she still managed to smile in a flattering way. Nie Bing snorted softly.
Manager Zhang observed his words and immediately shouted: "Xiao Jin, what's going on?
