Rebirth: I have Monopoly System
Chapter 341 - 327: A Gift for the Mother-in-lawSeeing that all the liquor had been brought over, Wu Yun turned to Qi Fei and asked, "Qi Fei, is there any other liquor you want to buy? The liquor cabinet at Black Eagle Manor is still empty!"
"Not right now. We’re heading back to Jingyang tomorrow, so let’s worry about it when we get back!" Qi Fei couldn’t think of any other liquor she wanted to buy at the moment.
Seeing that Wang Hao had already inventoried and inspected all the liquor, Wu Yun asked the shopkeeper, "Boss! Could you tally this up for us?!"
"You got it!" The female shopkeeper pulled out a calculator.
"ZERO! ZERO!" the calculator announced several times as it cleared.
"Fifteen hundred times thirty equals forty-five thousand yuan!" The female shopkeeper’s fingers flew across the keys, arriving at a number.
The female shopkeeper looked at Wu Yun with a grin and said, "Sir! The retail price for the Feitian Maotai is 1560, but I took the liberty of rounding it down for you!"
As she spoke, she picked up a pen and jotted down the amount for the Feitian Maotai in her notebook.
"Ten bottles of 10-year Maotai, fifty thousand yuan."
"Five bottles of 15-year Maotai, forty thousand yuan!"
"Two bottles of 30-year Maotai, forty thousand yuan!"
The female shopkeeper then tapped the calculator a few more times. "...for a total of 175,000 yuan!"
The young couple who had just been hesitating over which liquor to buy gasped. The way rich people did things was truly shocking!
The young woman looked on with a touch of envy at Qi Fei and Wu Yun, who were the clear center of attention, and sighed softly to herself.
Wu Yun gave Wang Hao a look. Wang Hao, understanding immediately, pulled a bank card from his bag and handed it to the female shopkeeper. "Ma’am, please run this card."
Wu Yun pointed to the Feitian Maotai and said in English, "You four, put these five cases in the front vehicle! The aged liquors go in the trunk of my car."
"YES, SIR!"
"OK, BOSS!"
"Oh, right! Boss!" Wu Yun said to the shopkeeper, who was taping up the boxes. "Could you please get me some gift bags that hold two bottles each? I’ll be giving some of these as presents."
"Of course, one moment! Sir!" The shopkeeper quickly finished what he was doing and jogged into the storeroom, emerging a moment later with a stack of sturdy paper gift bags.
After handing the Maotai-logoed gift bags to Da Xiong, the shopkeeper recalled what Wu Yun had asked Qi Fei earlier. He grinned and asked, "Sir! Are you planning on stocking up on more liquor? Why don’t we exchange contact information! If you need anything in the future, I can deliver directly to you. I can get foreign liquors, red wines, baijiu—all of it, and I guarantee it’s all authentic!"
Ever since getting the System, Wu Yun had lived by the principle of spending a little money to save time and trouble. So, when the shopkeeper made the offer, Wu Yun agreed. "Alright! You can add my secretary’s contact info. If I need anything, I’ll have him contact you."
"Excellent!" The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly. ’I have to seize this opportunity to expand my business. A rich man like Wu Yun, with bodyguards and all... this could be my big break! The fortune teller said I’d meet my benefactor when I turned forty, and this might just be it!’
Seeing Wu Yun turn to leave, the shopkeeper said enthusiastically, "Take care, sir! Don’t hesitate to call me if you need anything!"
Back on the street, Wu Yun checked the time and gave an order. "Wang Hao, you and Hawkeye go to that tea shop the company always uses. Buy twenty boxes of tea, around three thousand yuan each, and put them in the car."
"Oh! Right! And buy one more box of premium tea! Don’t worry about the price! I’m planning to give it to my future father-in-law."
"Yes, President Wu!" Wang Hao turned and walked toward the last Mercedes SUV in the convoy.
Wu Yun saw him talk with Hawkeye for a moment before Poison Thorn got out of the passenger seat to switch places with Wang Hao.
Wu Yun then said to Wei Wu, who was standing by the car, "To Taikoo Li!"
Once in the car, Wu Yun saw a mother carrying an adorable little girl of about two walk past. That’s when he remembered he’d forgotten something.
Wu Yun looked away from the window and asked, "Qi Fei! Do you have any kids in your extended family? How old are they?!"
Qi Fei adopted a thoughtful expression. "My eldest uncle’s grandson is five this year! My second uncle’s granddaughter is three! And my aunt’s grandson is two! So that’s three of them!"
Wu Yun immediately joked, "So on your dad’s side, you’re the only one left, huh!"
Qi Fei’s face flushed red. She put on a proud air and said, "Who wants to have kids with you! I’m still a kid myself! I still get red envelope money for the New Year!"
Speaking of which, Qi Fei held out her fair, rosy palm. "All you’ve thought about is buying New Year’s gifts for everyone else. What about mine?! My red envelope money! Hand it over!"
Wu Yun put on an innocent expression. "Uh... Didn’t I just give it to you last night?!"
"Last night? That was just a bouquet of flowers!" Qi Fei said angrily, then she realized what he meant. She started playfully punching Wu Yun’s shoulder. "Xiaoyunzi! If you keep this up, I’m going to have to raise my rates next time!"
Wu Yun didn’t dodge, simply catching Qi Fei’s hands in his. "Okay, okay! My mistake! Let’s get back to business! What about your mom’s side of the family?!"
Qi Fei’s chest was heaving, and she was slightly out of breath. "On my mom’s side, only my two uncles have grandchildren!"
Having gotten the information he needed, Wu Yun took out his phone and called Wang Hao. "You’ll need to withdraw some more cash! Let’s say fifty thousand. And while you’re at it, buy a stack of red envelopes!"
"Yeah! That’s right! The ones that say ’New Year’s Gift’ or ’Happy New Year’ on them!"
Although the New Year was approaching and there were fewer cars and pedestrians on the roads in general, the downtown commercial area around Taikoo Li was still brimming with a festive atmosphere. The streets were festooned with red lanterns and silk ribbons, and the sidewalks were packed shoulder-to-shoulder with a bustling crowd.
"Xiaoyunzi! What are we doing here?!" Qi Fei asked, a little confused.
Wu Yun smiled and explained, "I got your dad liquor and tea. If I don’t get something for your mom, she’ll definitely make things difficult for me! Who knows? She might arrange a matchmaking session for you the second I’m out the door!"
