Chapter 196: Welcome Young Master Wang's arrival in Donghai Shi

Hearing the beautiful woman say the ring cost 40,000 yuan, the crowd burst out in a scornful laugh, stimulating the beautiful woman to almost jump up.

She rubbed against her boyfriend twice, then started acting coquettishly, "Brother, they're talking about us like this, you won't give them a taste of their own medicine, let them see something."

No need for her to fan the flames; the leading handsome guy himself was already furious, nostrils flaring, he shouted loudly, pointing at the people around and Ye Cheng, saying,

"You bunch of ignorant country bumpkins, you don't know shit."

Ye Cheng looked at his opponent jumping with rage, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, then his expression changed, and he said impatiently,

"Alright, alright, you're a city person, but since you can't afford it, don't brag here—just leave."

This provocation made the handsome guy unable to hold back any longer; he pointed at Ye Cheng and shouted, "Who says I can't afford it? Tell me, how much are you selling it for?"

Ye Cheng gave them a disdainful glance, scanning them one by one, then shook his finger,

"Even if I tell you, you still can't afford it, so hurry up and leave—I still have business to do."

"'Say, tell me a price, see if I can afford it!' the handsome guy shouted, straining his neck and raising his voice—this isn't about money anymore, it's about dignity, dignity!"

"Right, what could our Young Master Wang possibly not afford?"

"You country bumpkin, just give the price when asked—why all the nagging?"

"Let me tell you, our Young Master Wang is so poor all he has left is money."

Young Master Wang looked at Ye Cheng proudly, gave a thumbs-up pointing behind him, and said arrogantly,

"See? Hurry up and give the price."

Ye Cheng let out a big sigh, shook his head, and said, "Fine, since you insist on asking the price, I'll tell you."

Having said that, Ye Cheng deliberately paused, then said, "Actually, telling you won't help—you really can't afford it."

"Damn! When will this end? Just say it already."

Not to mention Young Master Wang, even the surrounding fish sellers want to curse—this never-ending, right?

"Alright, then I'll say it. This big one is a rare treasure, 10,000 yuan; these two small ones are precious varieties, together 10,000 yuan; all three add up to 20,000 yuan."

"Oh dear, I already told you you can't afford it, right?"

As soon as Ye Cheng's 20,000-yuan quote came out, the whole place fell silent instantly—you could hear a pin drop.

Several fish sellers on the dock silently cursed, "You're not selling fish, you're robbing—blatant robbery."

"Even if this coconut crab is rare and tasty, a few hundred yuan per jin is the max, yet you're selling by the piece, right?"

"And on top of that, the rare treasure is 10,000, totaling 20,000—this is like slaughtering a pig."

"Do you think we're idiots?"

Hearing Ye Cheng's quote, Young Master Wang's face flushed between green and red; he could pay 20,000, but he thought it a bit pricey.

"He's rich, but not an idiot."

"Spending 20,000 on a luxury item is for face, and you can wear it forever; spending 20,000 on three crabs, once eaten they're gone."

The beauty beside Young Master Wang also fell silent—it's a bit pricey.

Ye Cheng saw everyone silent and said, "That won't do—if you're silent, who's going to buy?"

He muttered softly, "I already said you can't afford it, yet you insist I quote a price—pretending to be big shots, you few youngsters."

He said this with his head down, not aiming at anyone, but adding 'you few youngsters' afterward made the target clear.

Young Master Wang's face instantly flushed red.

Damn!

I came out to have fun, passing by this downplace, actually being looked down upon by a few country bumpkins—if this gets back, how will I ever hold my head up?

He stiffened his neck, slapped a hand on the water tank, then stared at Ye Cheng and said through gritted teeth,

"'Who says I can't afford it? I'll take all three crabs—20,000, right? I'm paying.'"

Saying that, Young Master Wang directly pulled out an exquisite waist pouch, drew out two stacks of big bills, and slapped them onto Ye Cheng's face with a pap-pap sound.

Ye Cheng cooperatively gave a shocked expression, then took the money and began to count it, acting as if he'd never seen the world.

Seeing Ye Cheng's shocked look and his trembling hands while counting the money, Young Master Wang felt delighted inside.

The surrounding people felt their worldviews completely shattered—what kind of hellish scene is this? What kind of world is this?

Even with money, you can't spend it like this, can you?

Ye Cheng, while acting, secretly gloated inside—you just don't understand the psychology of the rich; they don't care whether this thing is worth it, they want face, status, something no one else has.

Plus, Ye Cheng's few words had him backed into a corner—this kid definitely wouldn't be able to back out if he didn't buy.

Behind him, Xiao Hu rubbed his face vigorously; he had basically guessed that these people in front had been swindled by Ye Cheng.

Ye Cheng carefully finished counting the money, then quickly put it away.

With eyes full of admiration and envy, he looked at Young Master Wang and began to flatter, "Young Master Wang, so generous—20,000 yuan and you don't even blink."

"'Come, let's all applaud for Young Master Wang's arrival in Donghai Shi! Welcome Young Master Wang!'"

Having said that, he led the applause.

Behind him, Xiao Hu froze for a moment, then immediately joined in.

The surrounding crowd still looked bewildered, not knowing what 'arrival in Donghai Shi' meant, but having been taught since childhood that when others clap you must clap too, so after a dozen seconds, the whole venue burst into enthusiastic applause!

Young Master Wang had been holding in his frustration; buying such expensive crabs, he might get complained about when he gets back.

But this sudden burst of enthusiastic applause made Young Master Wang feel a bit—ah—happy.

"'Is Young Master Wang handsome?' Ye Cheng shouted amid the applause."

Handsome!

"'Are the beauties beautiful?'"

Beautiful!

"'Are the handsome guys handsome?'"

Handsome!

As Ye Cheng shouted loudly one after another, the people below joined in the clamor; once the atmosphere got going, it was just this exhilarating.

Those few shouts got Young Master Wang's little girlfriend and a bunch of companions all excited, unable to resist waving their hands and interacting with everyone.

Ye Cheng also got hyped, simply jumped onto a high platform, and shouted loudly to the beat.

"Thank you, Young Master Wang, for buying the crabs! The whole venue's atmosphere is electrified for you! From now on, you're the biggest, you shine the most in Donghai Shi!"

"The Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves, the stars shine bright and you're the brightest, if heaven has feelings it too grows old, Young Master Wang, Young Master Wang you're the best, beyond the green mountains, beyond the towers, my Young Master Wang you're the most awesome!"

These dynamic rhythms and rhyming words are exactly the lines used to thank the #1 big brother in modern livestreams—something this era doesn't have.

This completely hype Young Master Wang up, his smile splitting his face, his face glowing red, and he suddenly felt that this bunch of country bumpkins wasn't so bad after all.

After Ye Cheng finished with the mic, he suddenly raised his right hand and shouted loudly, "Come, let's bow to our Young Master Wang."

Saying that, he led the bow.

The people around had already been brought along by him, and a few younger ones also followed and shouted a line.

"Bow to Young Master Wang."

Then, imitating Ye Cheng's style, they also gave Young Master Wang a bow.
