Chapter 17: The blessing of the word spirit, the invincible sales pitch
After going around in circles, Hu Tao brought Ying Ping to another important potential client.
This time, the client was a shrewd businessman wearing a luxurious robe and exquisite gold-rimmed glasses.
“Master of the Wangsheng Hall, why is it you?! I’ve already said that I don’t need the services of the Wangsheng Hall!”
“If you come here to cause trouble again, I will call the Qianyan Army again!”
When he saw Hu Tao appear, his face changed, and then he showed a very helpless expression.
“Hey, hey, hey, Boss Mu, calm down, don’t be angry first!”
“I didn’t come here alone this time. Do you see who’s next to me?”
“He is the hottest new star in the Liyue Adventurer Association, the newly promoted legendary adventurer, Mr. Ying Ping, the Sword Master of Liyue!”
Hu Tao smiled and didn’t look annoyed at all. She took the initiative to push Ying Ping in front of her with her little hand and introduced him solemnly with a serious look.
“Hello, Boss Mu, I am the adventurer Ying Ping, and I’m glad to meet you here.”
Ying Ping said with a smile.
“Legendary adventurer, Liyue Sword Master Ying Ping?”
“Oh, I know you. You are the hot topic in the newspaper recently. You are really a good-looking person.”
“I have read the interview about you fighting against the Hill Culvert tribe and the Ruin Hunters in the wild. Wow, the battle scene of one man against a thousand is really exciting! Even my son admires you very much!”
“Without the power of the Eye of God, you can get to this point with martial arts alone. Your strength is really amazing!”
“So… May I ask why you and the head of the Wangsheng Hall came to see me together?”
Boss Mu pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and asked with a very curious expression.
“Ying Ping, quickly tell him your invincible words and sell him that insurance!”
Hu Tao showed an impatient look and encouraged.
“Okay.”
When Yingping saw Hu Tao’s expectant eyes, he smiled dotingly.
So, he activated the protection of the Word Spirit again and repeated the same words to Boss Mu as when he met Brother Wu.
Under the protection of the powerful Word Spirit, Boss Mu’s reaction became as excited as Brother Wu.
He decided on the spot to buy all kinds of insurance, and even paid a large deposit in advance to Yingping.
This generosity and enthusiasm in rushing to give money scared Hu Tao a little.
Finally, Yingping accepted the deposit, and then exchanged a few words with the other party before temporarily saying goodbye to Boss Mu with Hu Tao.
“Let me tell you, Yingping, you are born to be a businessman!”
“Alas~ I, Hu Tao, think I am good at speaking and eloquent, but I still have to admit defeat when I meet you. I can only sigh that I am not as good as you!”
“You are so eloquent, you can turn black into white, every word is like honey, every sentence can be sweet to the heart! It’s really amazing!”
Hu Tao clapped her hands and exclaimed sincerely.
“Hey~ No way, Hu Tao, you are still exaggerating.”
“They just recognize the insurance product and are willing to give us a face.”
“If it is something that is obviously not beneficial, do you think they will agree so readily?”
Ying Ping smiled and shook his head, saying very modestly.
“Well, is that so?”
“But what you said does make some sense. They did it for our face.”
“Then…if you are not in a hurry, accompany me to another place.”
Hu Tao narrowed her eyes and tilted her head with an expression of obvious disbelief.
She was sure that there was some kind of magical power in Yingping’s words.
“Hahaha, sure.”
“Anyway, I don’t have anything to do today, so I can stay with you all the time.”
Yingping smiled and agreed happily, then followed Walnut’s pace again.
This time, the two came to a remote stall in the port.
The stall owner here was a middle-aged woman with a sad face.
She sold handmade woven products such as lanterns and bamboo baskets, as well as some toys for children, but there were few customers and the business didn’t seem to be very good.
“Hello, Sister Congzi, hehe, I’m here again.”
Walnut waved to the female stall owner and greeted her with a smile on her face.
“Hmm… is it you? The head of Wangsheng Hall? What are you doing here again?”
“I’ve already told you, if you’re not here to buy something, please leave. I’m not interested in your Wangsheng Hall business at all!”
The female stall owner put down the knitting she was doing, and looked at Hu Tao with a very alert look, and said in a slightly angry tone.
“Hey, please don’t say that. This time, I’m here as a customer to take care of your business. I want to see if there are any small items you need.”
Hu Tao put his hands behind his back and walked over in a swaggering manner.
“Hello, boss, how much is this?”
Ying Ping interrupted the conversation between the two. He bent down and picked up a pair of red hairpins that he liked from the stall, and asked the female stall owner very gently.
“These two… a total of one thousand Mora, the big one is six hundred, and the small one is four hundred.”
The female stall owner hesitated for a while and said.
“Okay, I’ll buy it.”
“Did you make this pair of hairpins yourself? You are so skillful, and the things you make are very beautiful. I like these styles very much.”
Yingping smiled and nodded.
“Thank you for the compliment, I hope you like it, my customer.”
The female stall owner showed a simple and shy smile, facing Yingping’s compliments, and she didn’t know where to put her hands.
“Yingping, why did you suddenly buy something for girls? Are you planning to give it to someone?”
“I can help you with some suggestions.”
Hu Tao also walked to Yingping’s side and squatted down. She put her hands on her white knees and asked like a curious baby.
“Of course I bought it for you, Hu Tao, because I think you will look good wearing it.”
Yingping smiled slightly, and then without saying anything, he put the pair of hairpins he had just bought on the ends of Hu Tao’s hair.
