Chapter 316 Black-Hearted Boss
"Did it land in?"
The boss laughed and said, "At the very least, I'm a businessman. I have to be honest. If you really landed it in, not to mention just a laptop, even if you landed in everything on the stall, I wouldn't say anything."
As he spoke, he pointed at the laptop in the very back, "Little girl, do you see the small sign next to the laptop?"
"What sign?"
Ning Xi was stunned by the question. Her gaze moved over, but she didn't see anything.
The boss's face revealed a victorious smile. He walked to the laptop and pulled out a sign about the size of a baby's palm from underneath. On it were four tiny words, almost invisible.
"Hanging doesn't count!"
Ning Xi looked at the sign in the boss's hand, her little face turning red with anger, "You, you… you're cheating!"
The boss took on a look of indifference, expressionless as he said, "Little girl, I'm an honest businessman, don't slander me. This sign has been here all along; you just didn't see it."
Ning Xi was just about to say something when Ye Fan stopped her, his tone calm: "If it doesn't count, then it doesn't count."
Hearing this, the boss was a little surprised, then a smile appeared on his face.
That laptop was the treasure of his stall. The purchase price alone was twenty thousand yuan — equivalent to a month's income from this stall. To prevent it from being won, he had long prepared countermeasures.
"Young man, you're quite reasonable."
Ning Xi huffed, stewing in anger on her own.
Ye Fan looked at the boss with a faint smile and asked, "Boss, what if it lands completely inside — does that count?"
"Of course it counts!"
The boss nodded as if it was a matter of course, his smile growing wider, his eyes narrowing to slits.
The ring's diameter was 39 centimeters, but the laptop's box had a diameter of 40 centimeters. Even the most skilled expert couldn't possibly land it completely in!
Want to win the laptop?
He couldn't wish for more!
With that kind of desire, people would willingly hand over their money — that's the trick of business, after all.
Hearing the boss's response, Ye Fan nodded slightly, rubbed Ning Xi's head, and gently comforted her, "Xiao Xi, let's keep playing. The most important thing when going out to play is to have fun. And besides, it's not impossible to land it completely in — don't be upset."
"But…"
Ning Xi was still unconvinced. She looked at the two rings in her hand, then glanced at the distant laptop. "Those two are almost the same size, how could it possibly land completely in?"
"It's possible."
Ye Fan leaned close to the girl's ear and gently blew, "Just now while you were throwing, I was calculating in my head. There's still a chance to land it completely. You keep playing. Later, watch me teach the boss a lesson."
Ning Xi's eyes curved with a smile, "Really?"
"Absolutely!"
"Then… okay, I'll try again."
Ning Xi picked up a ring, measured it slightly, and threw it.
Perfect… miss!
The final chance just grazed the laptop's box — it didn't even hang on.
Seeing the result, the boss grinned from ear to ear, walked back to his seat, and picked up his pork elbow to continue gnawing.
Ning Xi's pink lips pouted slightly, her small fist clenched and waved lightly.
Sensing the girl's disappointment, Ye Fan's thin lips curled up, and his eyes turned deep.
Since the boss was being unkind, then don't blame him for being unjust!
With that thought, Ye Fan picked up a ring with his right hand and twisted his wrist at a strange angle.
The ring spun wildly in the air. However, because the ring was a solid color, neither Ning Xi nor the boss noticed anything.
The ring traced an arc in the air, flying precisely toward the laptop's packaging box. The moment the two made contact, a miraculous scene occurred.
The ring, which was smaller than the box, wasn't bounced off.
Instead, it spun violently atop the box for nearly three seconds. Then, like a spinning nut, it forced the laptop box to slightly deform under the pressure of its spin.
When the ring stopped spinning, it came to rest perfectly in the center of the box!
Ning Xi's eyes widened in disbelief, and she couldn't help but let out a gasp.
The boss, still gnawing on his pork elbow, dropped it to the ground. Staring blankly at the ring resting on the laptop box, his eyes went dull; his face changed again and again.
This… actually worked?
Emmm...
Ning Xi placed her hands on her hips, her gaze proud and fierce, "Boss, do you have anything to say now? Don't tell me you're going to back out again?"
The boss: "..."
He walked to the back of the stall in disbelief, looking down at the ring fixed on the laptop box. When he saw the box slightly deformed under the ring, countless unknown creatures rampaged through his heart.
How could this be possible?
At that moment, he still wanted to go back on his word — but after just saying it out loud, to now instantly backpedal, would be a real slap to the face.
But when he thought of the laptop's value, in a flash, he made a decision in his heart.
Face?
What the hell is that!!!
Seeing the boss squatting there in a daze, Ning Xi softly urged, "Boss, you can give us the prize now, right?"
"No way!"
The boss stood up and said seriously, "I didn't see clearly just now. Who knows if you cheated — this one doesn't count."
Blatantly reneging!
Upon hearing this, Ning Xi froze for a moment. Her chest heaved with anger as she tugged on Ye Fan's sleeve, "Gege, I don't want to play anymore. This boss has no integrity at all. He's so infuriating."
"Don't be mad, don't be mad. Don't stoop to his level."
To be honest, even Ye Fan hadn't expected this boss to be so shameless — he couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing this, the boss's old face turned red, and he forced himself to act tough, "What are you laughing at? I was eating just now, I didn't see clearly. If you've got the guts, try again. If you land it again, I'll definitely give you the laptop!"
Ning Xi snorted, "There you go again — same old trick. Seriously… such a shady boss!"
Her voice wasn't loud, but not soft either.
The boss's face twitched with slight embarrassment, but only for a moment. Then, expressionless, he raised his head and said, "Little girl, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I really didn't see clearly just now. If your boyfriend can land it again, I'll definitely give you the laptop!"
Hearing the word "boyfriend," a hint of shyness flashed in Ning Xi's eyes.
This shady boss — not only was his character bad, his eyesight was too!
Where did it look like Ye Fan was her boyfriend?
Utter nonsense!
But truthfully, from their intimate behavior earlier, anyone watching would probably think they were a couple.
The person involved is confused, while the bystander sees clearly.
Seeing Ye Fan and Ning Xi stay silent, the boss smirked and pointed at the laptop beside him, "Dare or not…"
Just three words in, and his voice abruptly stopped…
