Chapter 98: Buying All Three Items

Chapter 98: I'll Take All Three

Yu Wanyue smiled and said, "Boss, we'd like to sign up for a membership card."

Jiang Yingxue replied, "Alright, ID of the person signing up, please."

Yu Wanyue looked at Du Yingzhe, signaling him to take out his ID.

One second passed, then two, then three, and still he hadn't moved.

Du Yingzhe stood with his hands in his pockets, frowning, his face cold and clearly in a bad mood, giving off a cold, indifferent vibe.

Du Yingzhe was the very picture of a young, successful talent in J City. The Du Group was one of the top enterprises in J City; his father was its chairman, and his uncle was the mayor. He was a wealthy heir born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and he himself owned a publicly listed internet technology company with exceptional strength. He had every reason to be proud.

Whether it was high-end hotels, clubs, or other establishments, membership cards were delivered to his doorstep with just a word from him. Yet, this humble Xuehe stall actually required him to come in person to apply. When he first heard about it, he scoffed.

Who did they think they were? He wasn't that easy to get an audience with.

He hadn't wanted to come today, but considering that Xue Kaisheng was a regular at the Xuehe stall and with Yu Wanyue's soft words, he had come.

His cold, stern gaze raked over Jiang Yingxue with scrutiny.

So this was the stall owner who insisted he come in person.

She wasn't bad-looking. But so what if she had some looks or got to see him face-to-face? Did she think she could use this to get close to him? Dream on.

Jiang Yingxue said calmly, "ID, please."

Another two seconds passed. Still no ID.

"Next," Jiang Yingxue directly looked at Tu Xiying, who was behind them in line, and said, "What can I get for you today?"

Tu Xiying had a gentle demeanor and was beautifully made up. She took out an orange membership card from her bag and said with a smile, "Boss, I'd like 3 meal boxes, 2 roasted chickens, 1 set of Spirit Flower Cookies, 2 boxes of candy, and 3 large cups of Buddha Lotus Seed Juice."

"Alright, just a moment."

As the owner packed her order, Tu Xiying smiled and greeted the man beside her, "Yingzhe, what a coincidence."

Tu Xiying's husband, Zhang Lei, and Du Yingzhe were cousins. Zhang Lei's grandparents had two sons and one daughter: the eldest son was the current mayor of J City, the second son was Zhang Lei's father, and the youngest daughter was Du Yingzhe's mother.

Seeing it was Tu Xiying, Du Yingzhe's expression softened slightly. "Sister-in-law Xiying."

After the greeting, they fell silent. Tu Xiying knew Du Yingzhe had this kind of personality, so she stood quietly in front of the stall, waiting for her food.

After Jiang Yingxue packed the order, she took the membership card to deduct the payment. "Miss Tu, your total is 10,150 yuan. Your remaining balance is 383,200 yuan, with a total of 168 points."

"Alright, thank you, boss."

"You're welcome."

Tu Xiying noticed a small booklet along with the membership card the boss handed back and was puzzled. "What's this?"

"This is the membership points gift catalog."

Tu Xiying walked off, browsing the booklet as she went. Her kid was in the second grade. Her cousin had told her the food at the Xuehe stall was truly delicious and nutritious, and that Xia Yu Flower Candy was especially suitable for children, so she'd rushed to sign up and start buying. Today was her second day as a member.

She murmured to herself as she looked at the booklet, "Starlight Dress, Woven Moon and Flowing Gold Dress, Blazing Peacock Feather Dress... these dresses are so beautiful! I really want to buy them all, but unfortunately, they can only be redeemed with points."

Just then, someone patted her on the shoulder, giving her a start.

Tu Xiying patted her chest and shot him a mock-stern look. "You scared me!"

The person was none other than her husband, Zhang Lei. Zhang Lei said, "What's so interesting? I called you twice, and you didn't respond."

Tu Xiying pointed to the dress patterns in the booklet and asked, "Are they pretty?"

"Very pretty! Then let's buy all three of these."

"We can't buy them; they require points to redeem."

"Let me see... 3,000 points, 50,000 points... you need to spend 1.3 million yuan. Isn't that simple?"

"The most expensive item at the stall is only 3,000 yuan. When will I ever spend 1.3 million yuan?"

Zhang Lei said, "Go ask the boss tomorrow if she has more expensive items. I don't believe someone who can make nutritious meal boxes like this doesn't have premium items."

"Honey, you're amazing! I'll ask tomorrow."

After a moment's thought, Tu Xiying added, "I just saw your cousin at the Xuehe stall."

"Yingzhe?" Zhang Lei's mouth twitched. His stuck-up cousin actually went to a street stall to buy food?

"Yes, he didn't want to give the boss his ID to sign up, so the boss ignored him and served me first," Tu Xiying continued. "It's normal to need an ID to sign up. Your cousin is really strange."

"Hahaha, that's just how he is. Don't mind him." Zhang Lei laughed. He would definitely tell his mother about this when they went back to the old house for dinner on the weekend. How amusing.

Back to Du Yingzhe, he stood by the stall watching Jiang Yingxue continue her business, feeling a surge of inexplicable irritation.

Seeing the boss getting angry, Yu Wanyue also felt helpless. If she had known he would act like this, she would have just used her own ID.

"President Du..."

Before she could finish, Du Yingzhe flicked his sleeve and said, "I'll wait for you in the car."

With that, he turned and left.

Watching Du Yingzhe's retreating figure, Yu Wanyue sighed inwardly. She reminded herself that he was her bread and butter; she had to endure it.

She looked up at Jiang Yingxue with a smile and said, "Boss, he's not signing up. I will."

Jiang Yingxue returned the smile. "Alright."

Just as the previous customer had left, Jiang Yingxue explained to the next one, "This young lady was already in line earlier. Could you please wait a moment?"

The customer was quite understanding. "Sure, she can go first."

After thanking the customer, Yu Wanyue looked gratefully at Jiang Yingxue. She had thought she would have to queue again; both the boss and that customer were good people.

"Boss, I'd like a cyan membership card. Here's my ID."

"Alright."

After the membership registration, Yu Wanyue also received the points gift catalog. She said, "Boss, I'd like 2 nutritious meal boxes, 1 roasted chicken, 2 boxes of candy, and 2 large cups of Spirit Hawthorn Juice."

"Alright... Miss Yu, your total is 5,600 yuan, with 56 points."

"Next."

...

Yu Wanyue returned to the car carrying a bag of food. Du Yingzhe quickly glanced at the food bag in her hand before looking away, then opened his mobile banking app and transferred a sum of money to her.
