22: Chapter 22 Wholesale Rain Gear

"Beep~" Following the successful payment notification from the phone, the vending machine began to rain drinks.

Clang, clang, clang... The sound rang out eight times in a row before it finally stopped.

It wasn't that it had dispensed all the drinks, but rather that the space below couldn't hold any more.

Chen Sheng hurriedly took out the drinks inside, and immediately the vending machine sounded three more times. A total of eleven XX drinks were finally sold out.

Chen Sheng placed all the drinks on the public table nearby, lining up the last three bottles in a row with the QR codes on the bottles facing him.

Aim, scan!

Scan successful. The phone page jumped, and following a flash of colorful animation effects, a spinning wheel game appeared on the screen.

The entire wheel was filled with cash amounts, with the minimum being 100 and the maximum being 2000. This was highly likely the result of scanning a special QR code.

Click to draw.

The wheel began to spin, going from slow to fast, and Chen Sheng's heartbeat gradually sped up along with it.

Although he knew he would definitely win a prize, who wouldn't hope for a higher amount!

Chen Sheng stared at the screen without blinking.

Exactly how much would it be between 100 and 2000? One hundred? Five hundred? Eight hundred? Or the maximum of two thousand?

Finally, the speed of the wheel slowed down, and the pointer settled on a bright red number. 999 Yuan!

Not bad luck! Although it wasn't the maximum of two thousand, he was already very satisfied.

This was already the equivalent of two days of backbreaking work, and now he had obtained it just by easily scanning a code. What more could he ask for!

Chen Sheng quickly withdrew the money to green bubble. Soon, green bubble signaled that the balance had arrived.

Chen Sheng was in a great mood. He immediately opened the bottle of drink, and with a "glug" sound of his throat moving, he downed half the bottle in one go.

Must say, this five-yuan XX drink actually tasted quite good.

Chen Sheng did not take the remaining ten unopened drinks back to his car, but instead sold them to pedestrians on the pedestrian street at a one-yuan discount.

As for whether they would still win a prize? That was unknown. Regardless, in the blink of an eye, under the gazes of people looking at him like he was a fool, Chen Sheng finished selling the drinks and bought two skewers of freshly grilled gluten from the boss before leaving the pedestrian street.

After finishing the grilled gluten in the car, Chen Sheng subconsciously opened the system panel and focused his gaze on Intelligence 2.

【Today's Intelligence 2: At 4:00 PM on the 1st, the entire city of Shu City will experience a heavy rainstorm, which will last for four hours.】

Looking at the weather forecast on his phone, which still showed a "Clear All Day" icon, Chen Sheng suddenly had a bold and crazy idea. However, he couldn't quite make up his mind for a moment.

Slap~ Chen Sheng slapped his thigh hard, the force of which made him wince.

"Damn it! I was timid before I had the system, and now that I have the system, I'm still being timid as hell. You really are pathetic."

With his mind made up, Chen Sheng decisively started the car and drove toward the Hehuachi Wholesale Market.

As a famous large-scale wholesale market in Shu City and even Shu Province, the goods in the Hehuachi Wholesale Market, located at the old train station, were dazzling in their variety.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as it is a daily necessity, if you can think of it, they have it here.

When Chen Sheng arrived at the Hehuachi Wholesale Market, it was already noon. He first found a nearby noodle shop to satisfy his rumbling stomach, then followed the navigation to Area C, where he found the high-end rain gear wholesale shop he had seen online.

After entering the shop, Chen Sheng first browsed all the items in the store before calling the Shop Assistant over, pointing to the products he had taken a liking to, and asking about the prices.

After negotiating the prices, Chen Sheng calculated everything in his mind again before saying to the Shop Assistant: "For the umbrellas, give me five of each of the Retro 1, 2, and 4 models, two of each of the Cartoon 3 and 7 models, and three of each of the Minimalist 2 and 3 models..."

"As for the raincoats, give me five sets of those transparent ones with hidden patterns..."

The Shop Assistant quickly filled out the shipping order with the models and quantities Chen Sheng had requested. In the end, it totaled 40 umbrellas of various styles at a wholesale price of 38 yuan each, and 20 raincoats of three different styles at a wholesale price of 26 yuan each.

"Handsome Guy, please check the receipt. If there are no issues, I will notify the warehouse to bring the goods over."

Chen Sheng took the receipt and carefully verified the data. After confirming it was correct, he handed the receipt back to the Shop Assistant, saying, "No problem."

"Alright, it will take about 15 minutes to get the goods. Please wait in the rest area for a while." The Shop Assistant led Chen Sheng to the rest area before going to the front desk to place the order with the warehouse on the computer. After placing the order, they made a call to urge the warehouse.

About ten minutes later, warehouse staff used a small cart to bring the goods Chen Sheng had purchased to the store. Chen Sheng checked the goods in the two cardboard boxes against the receipt, pulled out one umbrella to open it, and confirmed that the goods matched the samples before going to the front desk with the Shop Assistant.

"Handsome Guy, there are 40 umbrellas in total at 38 yuan each, totaling 1520 yuan. There are 20 raincoats at 26 yuan each, totaling 520 yuan. Together, that comes to 2040 yuan." The Shop Assistant tapped away on a calculator to calculate the total for Chen Sheng, then turned the calculator toward him and asked, "Handsome Guy, will you be paying by scanning a code or with cash?"

"I'll scan the code!" After confirming the amount was correct, Chen Sheng took out his phone and scanned the QR code on the counter. With a "ding," the store announced the successful payment.

【Ding! Industrial and Commercial Bank of China received a transfer of 2040 Yuan!】

"It's been transferred!"

"Alright, received. Handsome Guy, come back next time, and I'll give you a discount then." The Shop Assistant was clearly an ambitious person, already planting the seeds for their next meeting as they parted ways.

Unfortunately, Chen Sheng had no intention of entering the department store industry, at least not for now; otherwise, he would have definitely exchanged contact information.

Carrying the two cardboard boxes out of the store, Chen Sheng bought a trolley at a hardware store downstairs, strapped the boxes onto it, and pulled it all the way back to his car.

After getting in the car, Chen Sheng checked the weather forecast again. Seeing that it still showed a 'Clear All Day' icon, he felt relieved and started the car, heading toward An Xiaonuan's company.

When he arrived downstairs at An Xiaonuan's company, he called her down and handed her the umbrella he had opened earlier as a sample. "It's going to rain this afternoon, and I might not be able to come pick you up. You should take a taxi home yourself, and please be sure to stay safe."

"Rain?" An Xiaonuan looked up at the bright sun hanging high overhead, which was scorching her skin so painfully that she couldn't see any sign of rain at all.

However, since her husband had personally brought her an umbrella, it showed he cared about her. With her high emotional intelligence, she couldn't bring herself to say anything discouraging. Pretending to be touched, she praised him: "Hubby, you're so good. Don't worry, go ahead and get busy; I will definitely stay safe."

"Just verbal praise?" Chen Sheng bargained.

An Xiaonuan looked around and realized there were no familiar faces nearby. She immediately leaned over, stuck her head into the car window, and gave Chen Sheng a quick peck on the face.

After the kiss, An Xiaonuan immediately pulled her head back. Looking like a startled rabbit, she blushed and hopped away quickly toward the building, saying, "I'm not talking to you anymore. I have to get back quickly, lest my boss finds out..."

Watching An Xiaonuan enter the building, Chen Sheng started the car again and drove toward Taikoo Li with the two boxes of goods. This was his next battlefield.
