"How much?"
Sister Feng's eyes widened in surprise.
"Ten million?!"
"Manager Lu, what kind of joke are you making?"
"Wasn't it Sister Feng who joked with me first?" Lu Fei sat down, placing his hands on his knees, and looked at Sister Feng with a half-smile on his face.
Sister Feng frowned, clearly unhappy. "Manager Lu, what do you mean? Where did I joke with you? I am sincerely here to buy something."
Lu Fei said, "The Immortal Skin can only be used by one person and cannot be divided. Is Sister Feng buying it to use for just one customer?"
"Once you sell it, why do you care how others use it?" Sister Feng snorted lightly. "Everyone is in business for money. I am sincere in wanting it; give me a sincere price. If it's appropriate, I will write the check now."
"No need." Lu Fei waved his hand indifferently. "The treasures of Sinisterium Pawnshop are only sold to those who truly need them. Please leave, Sister Feng."
"Is this how you do business!" Sister Feng's face immediately fell. "Boss Liu, you introduced me! This is the attitude you show?"
"Sister Feng, Manager Lu said that the Immortal Skin can only be used by one person. If you buy it and can't use it on your customers, wouldn't that be a waste of money? We are also doing this for your benefit," Liu Fugui explained with a smile, trying to pacify her kindly.
Sister Feng huffed and said, "Then I'll buy it for my own use. That should be alright, right?"
"Not suitable." Lu Fei still disagreed.
"I'm using it myself, how is that not suitable?" Sister Feng raised her voice.
She had a large face with a flat forehead, a plump chin, and a short neck.
Her nose pointed upwards, and her round eyes shone with cunning.
She had the typical features of a pig.
People with this kind of appearance are usually shrewd, selfish, greedy for money, and fond of pleasure.
How could Lu Fei believe that she was buying the fairy skin for her own use? Most likely, she would use it as a gimmick to trick customers into spending money.
Money is a small matter, but don't tarnish the reputation of Sinisterium Pawnshop.
"I've said it before, Sinisterium Pawnshop's treasures are only for those who truly need them," Lu Fei said impatiently, waving his hand to signal Liu Fugui to see her out.
"How come I don't have skin problems?" Feng Jie was still unwilling, patting her face and said loudly, "I have wrinkles, spots..."
"Feng Jie, if Manager Lu says it's not suitable, then it definitely isn't. You look so young and beautiful, with such good skin, there's no need for..." Liu Fugui spoke soothingly, escorting her out of Sinisterium Pawnshop.
"Pah! What kind of nonsense! You deliberately won't sell it to me. I bet that so-called divine skin is a fake! A store like yours will go out of business sooner or later!"
Feng Jie cursed outside for a while, but when no one paid her any attention, she had no choice but to walk back, her high heels clicking loudly.
After just a few steps, she almost bumped into two people.
"Can't you watch where you're going?" she shouted angrily.
"Sorry, ma'am! Are you alright?" The couple in front of her were dressed very shabbily and looked very haggard, looking at Feng Jie cautiously.
"You stink of poverty, how unlucky!" Feng Jie wrinkled her nose in disgust, "My shoes cost several thousand dollars a pair. Can you afford to pay if I damaged them?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The woman hurriedly bent down and wiped the non-existent dust off the high heels with her sleeve.
"Alright, alright, today must not be my lucky day." Feng Jie withdrew her foot in disgust.
"Excuse me, miss, is there a Sinisterium Pawnshop up ahead?" The man gave an awkward smile and asked cautiously.
"What are you going there for?" Feng Jie, who was about to leave, stopped in her tracks when she heard the man's words, and sized up the couple with shrewd eyes.
"We heard that they have a treasure for treating skin conditions there." The man answered honestly.
Feng Jie's eyes rolled, and she put on a kind expression: "Let me tell you, that pawnshop is nothing but a black market store! It's a scam, don't go there! The owner is not a good person. I'm only warning you because I can see that you're honest people!"
"A scam?" The couple was taken aback, their eyes clearly showing disappointment.
"Yes, it's a scam, absolutely don't go there!"
Having said that, Feng Jie walked away in her high heels, a sinister smile on her face.
"Husband, what should we do? Should we still go?" The woman tugged at her husband's sleeve, her face full of worry.
"We've come all this way, we might as well take a look." The man sighed.
"We don't have much money to begin with, and if something goes wrong..."
"In broad daylight, we can't just openly rob, right? It's okay, let's just take a look. Keep an eye on our bags, and if there's any problem, we'll leave immediately!"
The man patted his wife's rough hand and led her into the alley.
Inside the pawnshop.
"Mr. Lu, please sell it to me, I really need it."
Bingbing was still pleading with Lu Fei tirelessly.
"Miss Bingbing, I think you should understand that this is not just a simple skin problem," Lu Fei said, unmoved, as he slowly sipped his tea.
Liu Fugui and Hu Zi had been secretly observing Bingbing, very curious about what was wrong with her face.
But she covered her face so tightly that they couldn't see anything after looking for a long time.
"Forget it, Miss Bingbing. If Mr. Lu says it's not suitable, then it must not be suitable. If it's a plastic surgery issue, it would be more reliable to find a hospital for a fix," Liu Fugui advised.
"Reliable hospitals are too few! Besides, the repair also takes time, and I can't wait. The company only gave me one week. If I don't recover in a week, the opportunity to enter the entertainment industry will be given to someone else."
Bingbing reached out to grab Lu Fei's sleeve, but after a glare from Lu Fei, her hand retreated awkwardly.
"Manager Lu, please save me!"
"You know how hard it's been for me to get to where I am today! If you don't rescue me, my future will be ruined."
"Miss Bingbing, are you saying I'm the one who disfigured you?" Lu Fei raised his head, a hint of mockery in his eyes.
If she can't buy what she wants, she tries to use moral coercion?
"That's not what I meant! Manager Lu..."
"See her out."
Bingbing was also escorted out by Hu Zi.
She didn't dare to offend Lu Fei. After coming out, she saw a couple nervously peering around at the entrance and vented all her anger on them.
"Who are you? What are you looking at here? Don't you know where this place is?"
"Miss, is this the Sinisterium Pawnshop?" the man asked, mustering up his courage.
"What do you want?"
"We're here to buy something. We heard that there's a treasure for curing skin problems here. Is it true?"
Bingbing looked at them, then glanced at the pawnshop, and walked over to whisper, "It's fake! This pawnshop doesn't have any treasure for curing skin problems. The owner is very fierce, and you'd better not go in. I almost got cheated just now."
"Oh? It really is a scam?"
The couple's faces changed dramatically.
After encountering two people in a row who all said the same thing, there must be something wrong with this shop.
"Hurry up! Don't let them see you, or you won't be able to leave!" Bingbing urged, leading the couple out of the antique street.
"Miss, thank you so much. If it weren't for your reminder, we would have been cheated today."
The couple was extremely grateful to her.
"You're welcome, it was just a trivial matter." Bingbing watched the couple walk away, then turned to look in the direction of Sinisterium Pawnshop, her eyes brightening behind her sunglasses.
"As long as no one else buys the celestial skin, he can only sell it to me."
