Chapter 150 - 150

Chapter 150 Exchange Meeting ClashThe day of departure arrived quickly.They met at the school first, and then took a bus together to the train station.I heard that some people from Tsinghua University also went there this time.However, they weren't together. She only knewLu Jiayan and Zhou Yang from Tsinghua University, but she didn't know if those two would go.The train rattled southward, and Yun Ting gazed out the window, her mind preoccupied with her plans for Shanghai.This exchange meeting, including travel time, only lasted five days, so the meeting itself was only one day.Some students in Shanghai schools are quite arrogant.It had a provocative tone from the very beginning."We've heard that Peking University's foreign language department is quite strong. We'd like to see for ourselves."A female student from Shanghai looked arrogantly at Yun Ting and her group."Heh~ How about we, the hosts, go first?"After saying that, the female comrade began her performance, introducing herself and her school entirely in English, and her spoken English was indeed quite good."Hello everyone, I'm from Shanghai..."Her pronunciation was standard, yet every word seemed to have been carved from a template. Even her pauses and gestures showed signs of careful rehearsal. At the end, she gave a meaningful glance to the team from Capital City, as if showing off her home advantage.But anyone in the know can tell at a glance that it's a pre-recorded script.As soon as the female comrade finished speaking, applause broke out in the room, and she proudly raised her head to look at Peking University."What's there to be arrogant about? We haven't even said anything yet!"The teacher leading the Capital City team also looked a bit displeased; in any case, this behavior certainly had a sense of intimidation.He glanced at Yun Ting, who thought to herself, "As expected, there's no escaping it."Helpless, she went straight to meet them.Yun Ting spoke fluent and standard English throughout, unlike the female student who had clearly recited a script. She spoke entirely off-script, which amazed everyone present. The female student who had provoked her earlier, along with her teacher and teammates, all looked extremely displeased.Yun Ting smiled calmly."Wow... Peking University students are really something else! They're amazing and beautiful too. I wonder if I could get to know them.""Anything can happen in dreams..."Wan Huanhuan from Tsinghua University nearly ground her teeth to powder. She had just been about to go up and teach the other party a lesson, but the Peking University student beat her to it.I don't know if it's because Duan Xingye'sboyfriend is from Peking University, but she's secretly starting to compete with people from Peking University, especially that girl from earlier, who was so good-looking that she stole her thunder.At this point, she didn't know that Yun Ting wasDuan Xingye's girlfriend; otherwise, she probably would have gone crazy.Yun Ting found this kind of exchange meeting extremely boring, and she would never have come if she hadn't wanted to take the opportunity to sell some things.As soon as the exchange meeting ended, Yun Ting said goodbye to the teacher and went off to do her own thing.She didn't have much time to stay here, so she had to finish quickly.After making some inquiries, our first stop was a department store.When Yun Ting saw the Dacron shirts and Shanghai brand watches in the glass display case labeled "Free of Charge," she suddenly tightened her grip on her cloth bag, a thought flashing through her mind.Looking at the woman in front of her, who was clearly much older than her, she stepped forward and asked sweetly, "Sister, how much does this watch cost?"Upon hearing such a young and beautiful girl call him "sister," the man was overjoyed and immediately responded enthusiastically, "Miss, you're not from around here, are you? This watch is only 120 yuan, the quality is excellent, would you like one?""Sis, to be honest, I came here from Capital Cityfor an exchange program. There are no watches available for free in Capital City! I need to bring one back for all my relatives.""Oh my! You're from the capital. No wonder, I could tell you're no ordinary person.""Hey... what's so special about that? I'm actually envious of you guys here, you can buy whatever you want! I've always heard that there are so many trendy and good products in Shanghai, and I finally have the chance to come and take a look. Hey, you know what, it's true.""Young lady, you've come to the right place! No tickets required, and we also have scarves, silk scarves, and some trendy fabrics! Would you like some?""Okay, thank you, sis. Give me five watches first! I need to bring some for my brother, my dad, my younger brother, and my uncles and aunts. Oh dear! There are so many people in this family. Give me twenty scarves and shawls each! There are so many relatives in the family. They all asked me to bring some when they knew I was coming!""Okay, I'll wrap it up for you right away."The saleswoman was taken aback. As expected of someone from the capital, she was so generous from the start."Want some fabric? Look, this pattern is perfect for a young and beautiful girl like you.""I'll come back later, sis. Please keep these for me while I take them back to mail.""Okay, sure."Yun Ting didn't actually send them by mail; instead, she found a place and put all the things she had just bought into her personal space.Then they went back to pick out fabrics, choosing several batches with nice patterns.Having attracted a lot of attention, she happily stopped, saying, "Sister, that's all!"After paying, I still found an opportunity to put it in my online space. In order not to attract other people's attention, I went to another shopping mall to buy more.After several shopping trips, she bought a total of twenty-three watches, more than seventy scarves, and over fifty silk scarves.She plans to save these for when she goes back to her hometown for the Chinese New Year.People in the Capital City have seen a lot of good things, so they probably won't find these items that special. But it's different back home, especially during the Chinese New Year. If she takes them out, everyone will be fighting over them.A watch costs 120 yuan, and even if you add a few dozen yuan more, there will still be plenty of people vying for it.Now, the next step is to see if she can get in touch with the black market here. If she can, she wants to sell a batch of food from her space and then go straight back to Capital City, so that no one can trace her.She used an apple to find out the location of the black market from a woman.Yun Ting found a place to change her appearance before taking action.Because of time constraints, she went straight to the point and asked the black market gatekeeper if they bought and sold goods.At first, the underling didn't care and casually replied, "Our boss doesn't accept anything that's not good."Yun Ting didn't waste any words with him and directly showed him the rice, flour, and apples she had brought. "Such good stuff? If you don't want it, then I'll go somewhere else.""Wait, big sister, I was blind and didn't recognize you. I'm sorry, I'll take you to see our boss right away."Yun Ting wasn't afraid at all and just followed him without hesitation. If things got really bad, she could just run away; she was pretty good at escaping anyway.The leader of the other party was a bald man. After seeing her and learning her purpose, he smiled and looked like Maitreya Buddha. Yun Ting suppressed the corners of her mouth that were turned up.Because there wasn't much time, Yun Tingsimply told him how much stock he had and the price, and asked if he could handle it."My boss and the others are still waiting for me to get back and give them my report! We're just passing through, and we don't have much time. What do you think of this guy?"Yun Ting deliberately made it seem like they were a group of people, so if they wanted to double-cross them, they'd better think twice.The other party was also straightforward, immediately deciding, "I'll take it no matter how much.""Alright, the transaction will take place in half an hour at the abandoned warehouse at the old dock. Remember, no tricks."
