Chapter 310 The End of the Match
"Is it any of your business? Are you supposed to speak? Did I allow you to speak? Shut up!"
Wang Sheng was frustrated with nowhere to vent his anger, and when his subordinate spoke up, it was the perfect opportunity to take all his anger out on him!
The subordinate felt extremely aggrieved; he didn't say anything more and stepped aside.
He had only intended to give the boss a reminder, after all, this was indeed his problem.
Since the boss had no interest in his words, the subordinate decided not to speak out anymore in the future and rely entirely on the boss to figure things out.
Now, Wang Sheng glared fiercely at Lin Yi as if he could kill. How could he have ended up like this if it weren't for that guy?
It was all Lin Yi's fault, every single bit of it.
Now look at what's happened: he had no customers left, as all the customers had flocked to Lin Yi's side. He couldn't really end up with not a single customer and lose face, could he?
In the end, Wang Sheng thought of playing the customer himself and buying from his shop. After all, Lin Yi wouldn't know how many people were his.
"What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and go find people for me, find a lot of clients!"
Wang Sheng spoke to his subordinates in the nastiest tone, and they were taken aback for a moment, only then realizing that the boss was planning to cheat.
After all, their boss had always been like this. Just put up with it, since he paid well.
With that, Wang Sheng's subordinates swarmed out, while Lin Yi had already anticipated what they were up to.
However, Lin Yi didn't care about this competition, whether he won or lost didn't matter.
Because Lin Yi was not only selling medicinal herbs but also advertising his pharmacy.
"Everyone, if you like the herbs here, you can also visit our pharmacy. Of course, if you don't, that's fine too. At such cheap prices, you can't lose out or be cheated. Once you get home, I guarantee they'll last you a long time. Oh right, the main product of our pharmacy is a special remedy that people should have seen in the news recently..."
With that other guy unable to hear what he was saying, Lin Yi shamelessly advertised his pharmacy.
Soon, a lot of people had arrived at Wang Sheng's side, all scrambling to buy his herbs.
"Hmph! Lin Yi, see that? We still have a lot of people here. Sure enough, the audience is discerning; they won't go to a crappy place like yours. All of you have been hoodwinked, or else how could you possibly not come to my place? I really wonder what you're thinking."
With customers at hand, Wang Sheng grew bolder and even had the audacity to pick a fight with Lin Yi.
But Lin Yi simply ignored him.
Lin Yi's customers, however, were not happy. If it weren't for that guy's attitude earlier, how could they have ended up at Lin Yi's?
Although they admitted Wang Sheng's prices were indeed low, they didn't appreciate that kind of customer treatment, which really irked them.
The people who came didn't know about the other boss's attitude; once they found out, they would come too.
But this time, the customers guessed wrong, none switched sides because of Wang Sheng's attitude.
It could almost be confirmed that these people were shills.
"It's just selling herbs, and you've resorted to using shills? I really don't know how you manage your shop. Hasn't your boss taught you anything?"
A customer complained dissatisfiedly, Wang Sheng's face turning so dark it couldn't get any darker.
He had indeed used shills, and he had no way to rebut.
But he absolutely couldn't let these poor people have the last word.
They were only able to afford such good herbs because they were on the lookout for a bargain; what right did they have to criticize him?
"What are you idiots talking about? You're just a bunch of poor wretches. If it weren't for the discount on these herbs, would you be able to buy them? You probably wouldn't even dare to take a look."
Wang Sheng's words were too harsh, and even Lin Yi found it hard to listen.
"Enough, Wang Sheng. These people are customers, not capital for us to judge. And you're just someone with a bit of stinking money, don't get too full of yourself. To be honest, if it weren't for the shills you hired, you probably wouldn't have had any customers by the end of this. Customers really value service attitude, and you have none."
Lin Yi didn't want to see his customers being humiliated by Wang Sheng anymore, so he spoke up.
When the customers saw Lin Yi standing up for them, they couldn't have been happier.
Find adventures at empire
They immediately took out their wallets, ready to buy more to help boost Lin Yi's sales and ensure he wouldn't lose.
"Thinking finding shills will let you win? Don't kid yourself; with us here, we'll never let you win. Boss, we'll take more, as much as you have!"
"Exactly!"
The boss on the other side dared to mock them for being poor, and though they did love a bargain, they could certainly afford the normal-priced herbs.
If there was a discount on offer, why shouldn't they join the excitement? Their money didn't come from the wind.
They're different from those rich kids; they earned their money through hard work.
"Don't get carried away, everyone; we still encourage rational consumption. We don't recommend buying so much that it might not even be used after taking it home."
Lin Yi was somewhat amused at his customers' affection; he hadn't expected such a turn of events to happen to him.
On the other side, seeing this scene made Wang Sheng extremely jealous.
After all, the customers at his side were all shills he had hired, all his own subordinates.
And he had to spend money to buy back the herbs he was selling, which really upset the balance in his heart.
"What are you standing around for? Aren't you going to buy already?"
Unable to vent his frustration, Wang Sheng took it out on his subordinates instead.
They not only had to obey the boss's orders but also be manipulated by him; they felt extremely stifled, looking at the harmonious scene on the other side.
Honestly, these subordinates had already thought about defecting, but Lin Yi probably wouldn't welcome them.
Finally, after three grueling hours of selling, the competition came to an end.
Lin Yi's side of the table was completely empty, without a single item left, while Wang Sheng's side still had some.
The winner was clear.
"The competition is over; it's pretty obvious who won and who lost. I don't want to argue with you, and I have no grudge against you. I'm leaving first."
