Chapter 83 Out of Stock
Liu Lanxin, standing by, was completely confused and had no idea what Xia Liu was talking about.
However, the two bodyguards' pupils constricted sharply. They had indeed planned to forcefully take Xia Liu to Xiao Lin.
But now they dared not entertain the thought, alarmed that Xia Liu had explicitly pointed out what they had never divulged. What did this imply?
It implied that the man was an expert who understood the team's situation very well! It even raised the possibility that he could be a high-ranking official here on some mission.
The more they thought, the more terrified they became and immediately they said respectfully, "Sorry, we will go and call the young lady over right now."
"Xia Liu, what exactly is your identity? Even Xiao Lin's bodyguards are afraid of you," Liu Lanxin wondered as she watched the two bodyguards scurry away.
Though Xiao Lin's true identity was unknown, her friends in the circle had said it was better to provoke two tigers than to meddle with Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin might not be terrifying, but her background was dreadful, and the two bodyguards accompanying her were fierce enough to take on a hundred men each.
"Silly girl, have you lost your memory? Aren't I just a farmer from Osmanthus Village..." Xia Liu said as he reached out and touched Liu Lanxin's head.
...
Feeling the palm on her head, Liu Lanxin stilled for a moment.
Xia Liu realized that his gesture might have been inappropriate. When he withdrew his hand, he noticed that the girl's face had slowly turned crimson.
Clap, clap, clap...
"Sorry, folks, I hope I'm not interrupting,"
After a round of applause, Xiao Lin approached with a smile.
Liu Lanxin looked up and her face turned even redder. For some reason, she hadn't felt any anger just now and had even hoped Xia Liu would make further moves.
Being seen and even mocked by Xiao Lin, she felt extremely embarrassed.
"If you have something to say, sis, just say it." Facing Xiao Lin's provocative words, the thick-skinned Xia Liu simply ignored them.
"What's the matter? You dare say my… in front of all those people and reporters," Xiaomi mentioned, her anger flaring up, wishing she could tear Xia Liu into pieces.
"Hehe, sorry about that. My intention was harmless and even aimed to help you," Xia Liu apologized repeatedly, acknowledging his earlier direct remarks about Xiao Lin as somewhat excessive, but necessary to achieve his effect sometimes.
"I don't care if it was intentional or unintentional. Since you've done wrong, you must make it right. I won't settle this without two or three million today!"
"Two or three million!" Liu Lanxin was scared by Xiao Lin, who seemed to be robbing them, considering that Xia Liu had only told the truth about what happened.
"I don't have money, just a simple man, but if you need someone to warm your bed, I can go back with you," Xia Liu was also surprised, but he wasn't someone to be easily bullied.
"Despicable!" Xiao Lin glared at Xia Liu, at a loss for words for him.
If it wasn't for the bodyguards mentioning Xia Liu's complicated identity, she would have ordered them to tie him up and take him away long ago.
"Forget it, I won't stoop to your level. I'll give you a chance to repent. Just give me a few boxes of Beauty Mud and we'll consider this never happened."
"None available. Tianluo Pharmacy sells them, you can buy them yourself."
"Enough of this! Pull out your guns, I want two more holes in his body!" Xiao Lin was utterly infuriated, she had good intentions to forgive Xia Liu.
But not only did he not show any respect, he even made her go to those stores to buy things. Those stores were as chaotic as a marketplace now, clearly making things difficult for her.
"This..." The two bodyguards exchanged looks. If it were any other time, they definitely wouldn't have hesitated and would have just knocked him out.
But now it was different, involving guns and Xia Liu's mysterious identity, they were extremely troubled.
"Alright, alright, I was just kidding. The Beauty Mud is in the car outside, I'll go get it for you." Seeing the two bodyguards hesitating, Xia Liu felt a pang of guilt; they were supposed to be fighting enemies on the battlefield or carrying out missions.
Your journey continues with empire
Now they were supposed to protect a princess; if he made things more difficult for them, he'd be inhumane.
Seeing Xia Liu compromise, Xiao Lin was overjoyed, but she didn't know that Xia Liu had compromised because of the two bodyguards...
Eventually, Xia Liu took a plastic bag out of the car, filled with unpackaged Beauty Mud.
Looking at the Beauty Mud that looked just like dirt, Xiao Lin was furious, but she didn't immediately explode. Instead, she left with the bodyguards.
Just in case it really was Beauty Mud, she'd definitely be ridiculed later; it was better to go back and try it first.
Moreover, before investigating Xia Liu's background, she couldn't let the two bodyguards take any unnecessary risks.
"Xia Liu, I want to tell you, Xiao Lin has a brother who is an officer in the army." Recalling the conflict between Xiao Lin and Xia Liu, Liu Lanxin voiced her concerns.
"I figured as much." Xia Liu had guessed as much. If Xiao Lin had no connections in the army, how could those two bodyguards be following and protecting her?
Seeing Xia Liu looking completely unconcerned, Liu Lanxin simply shut her mouth. She had kindly reminded him, and he didn't react at all, it was a total waste of expression.
They hadn't even driven back to the villa when Liu Lanxin's phone rang. It was a call from the pharmacy manager.
"No way! I just gave you a thousand boxes this morning, and they're all sold out?" Hearing the manager saying that all the Beauty Mud had been sold, Liu Lanxin was slow to react.
"Miss, it's true, it's too crowded, and we can barely control the scene! The No. 3 store is requesting more goods." The other end of the phone was very excited, and there was a lot of noisy commotion, indicating that the scene was extremely chaotic.
After a brief response, Liu Lanxin hung up the phone, completely stunned— a thousand boxes of Beauty Mud, that was twenty million!
The manager said that within just less than an hour, a thousand boxes of Beauty Mud had been sold out.
If it continued like this, the sales would absolutely go crazy; and this was just one store, others hadn't even reported their sales yet.
No sooner had she thought of the other stores than Liu Lanxin's phone rang again.
It was another store manager calling; the situation was the same, all the Beauty Mud was sold out.
Just after hanging up, the phone rang again, and the situation was the same as the other stores, they were out of stock!
"Xia Liu, we're going to make a fortune; all the Beauty Mud has been sold out!" Liu Lanxin said excitedly.
"I knew it would be like this. There's no way around it, that stuff is made on-demand, no stock means we can only wait until tomorrow." Xia Liu wasn't very excited; he had prepared himself when Mo Wanqing had tried the Beauty Mud.
Today was just a bit of a stir, wait until the day after tomorrow when more people see it on TV and online videos, the customers that come to buy then will be terrifying.
Liu Lanxin, on the other hand, was gleefully happy, she too could imagine how many women the Beauty Mud would drive crazy.
