How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?

Chapter 125 - 94: A Firework Feast for You_2

Lin Ran: "..."

Not willing to deal with him any longer, Lin Ran glanced at the camera’s display and let out a sigh of regret, "It’s a pity. The fireworks are set off too far away. Otherwise, it would have made great Vlog material."

"What’s wrong, this won’t do?"

"It’s not that it won’t do, it’s just too distant. It looks beautiful to us here, but the recorded effect is mediocre."

"That’s easy to fix. Get in the car."

"What for?"

Before she finished speaking, Gu Heng had already pulled Lin Ran into the car, didn’t answer, and just sped off towards town.

The journey that should have taken six or seven minutes was cut in half by Gu Heng’s amateur racer driving skills, and they arrived in town.

Although it was called a town, it wasn’t much more bustling than Gu Heng’s place—reminiscent of the suburbs in the city years ago. But regardless, the place was bustling.

Especially because of the Little New Year, many children were setting off firecrackers on the roadside...

From time to time, crisp laughter could be heard...

Gu Heng paid no attention to these scenes but stopped at the entrance of a fireworks wholesaler...

"Get out, get out..."

"What on earth are you doing?"

Lin Ran was a smart woman. Seeing that Gu Heng had brought her to a firework store, she had roughly guessed what Gu Heng was about to do, but she couldn’t help asking.

"Never mind what I’m doing. Hurry up and get out."

After that, Gu Heng got out of the car first and went straight into the fireworks store.

"Boss!"

As soon as he entered, Gu Heng called out loudly in dialect.

"Hey! What do you want to buy?"

Gu Heng didn’t want to squabble with the store owner, so he continued, "Then give me all the ones you have left, and top up the rest with the slightly smaller ones until you have a hundred. That will be enough, right?"

"Enough, enough, enough! But, young man, purchasing so many might be hard to transport. You would need a small truck to haul them. If you’re not in a hurry, I can deliver them to your doorstep. Just give me an address, and I’ll bring them to your place tomorrow."

The owner’s tone was even more polite than before, as he was about to close a substantial deal and even offered to deliver the goods to Gu Heng’s doorstep.

But Gu Heng wasn’t the least bit moved by this offer, waving his hand and saying, "Don’t take them away."

"Not taking them? So you’re not buying?"

The store owner thought Gu Heng was messing with him, and his tone rose sharply...

Customer service in the countryside is straightforward: they’re nice to you if you’re buying. If you aren’t, they couldn’t care less about you.

"When I say don’t take them away, I mean set them off here!

Find some people to move the fireworks outside your store. I saw a big open space next door, just set them up there."

"No way, you’re saying you’re buying all these fireworks just to set off here for fun?"

Gu Heng was tired of the back-and-forth, impatiently saying, "Just tell me if you’re selling or not. If you are, hurry up and give me the total."

"I’ll sell, but you have to pay first. This is the first time I’ve encountered someone purchasing like you.

40 units of the 400 yuan fireworks come to sixteen thousand, plus 60 of the 120 yuan ones make seven thousand two hundred. That’s a total of twenty-three thousand two hundred. Just give me twenty-three thousand."

Hearing the price, Gu Heng scanned a QR code that the owner, with a suspicious look, pointed towards.

[WeChat payment received: Twenty-three thousand yuan]

Following the chime of the received payment from the phone, the store owner finally smiled and said, "Hold on, I’ll call my son to come over."

"How long will it take?"

"Not long, my place is just around the corner, they’ll be here in two minutes."

....

....

Lin Ran had been standing at the entrance all along, listening to Gu Heng’s conversation with the store owner. Watching Gu Heng walk out with a complicated expression, she said, "Actually, it wasn’t necessary. The Vlog I shot was barely passable."
