"There are five," said the woman, her eyes dancing as she immediately started to hike up the price. "Do you really want to buy them? Ten dollars a painting, are you buying or not?"
Five paintings, totaling fifty dollars.
Chiang Xiao felt a sourness in her heart. How could her teacher's paintings only be worth fifty dollars?
"Alright then, fifty it is, I just happen to round up the number," Chiang Xiao glanced at her, "Try to raise the price again and see if I change my mind."
She could clearly see that the woman regretted agreeing to the price and wanted to raise it again after she had accepted it.
Sure enough, after hearing Chiang Xiao's words, the woman immediately swallowed back her attempt to raise the price once more.
Liu Guoying was just a nobody!
