Some more introverted people might have compromised, but clearly, Xie Yizhi wasn't one of them.
"Cut the crap. I just don't allow filming here. If you don't want to play, please leave," the bald boss said, raising his hand to signal the two of them to do as they pleased. He wasn't going to reason with Xie Yizhi. Either they played or they left. He didn't care about losing one or two customers.
Tan Yuxi and Xie Yizhi exchanged a look. Hmm, was he being so arrogant?
Slap! Tan Yuxi took out her temporary police officer's ID from her pocket and placed it clearly in front of the bald boss. The bald boss, who had been looking impatient just now, immediately wilted. His expression changed instantly, and he smiled, saying, "The signal is not good in here. What I meant was that if we want to film, we have to connect to the wifi."
"Here, let me enter the password for you."
Xie Yizhi: "..."
——[Pfft, what a hypocrite! Another master of changing faces! Hahaha!]
——[Didn't this lady say she hasn't graduated yet? She's interning at the police station. How does she have a police officer's ID?]
——[Probationary police officers usually use temporary police officer's IDs. That's what the lady just showed.]
——[I see. Hahaha, it reminds me of that sentence, 'How can I help you?']
——[When people are embarrassed, they usually pretend to be very busy.]
When the bald boss saw Tan Yuxi show her ID, he obviously became more fidgety. He warmly asked Tan Yuxi and Xie Yizhi how they wanted to play and how much they were going to spend.
"Bring three basins first, worth sixty yuan," Tan Yuxi said, and immediately scanned the payment. She made the payment first to avoid any disputes later.
There were small basins on the table, each filled with sandbags. There were ten sandbags in one basin, which meant each sandbag cost two yuan.
"I don't believe it," Tan Yuxi grabbed a sandbag, aimed at the small plush dolls on the shelf, and started throwing them frantically.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... One small sandbag after another flew out, and she looked just like a Peashooter from the game. She was clearly a beautiful girl, but her actions were incredibly clumsy.
Xie Yizhi just stood by and watched. Strangely enough, although Tan Yuxi threw the sandbags quickly, she actually hit quite a few of the dolls. But the strange thing was that the dolls on the iron shelf seemed to be welded on. Even when they were hit, they just moved slightly and still wouldn't fall off.
Soon, the ten sandbags in one basin were all thrown, and only one doll was knocked down.
"See, it's definitely not a problem with my aim!" Tan Yuxi turned her head, pouted, and looked at Xie Yizhi plaintively. It was obvious that she really cared about her aiming ability...
"Is the sandbag too light?" Xie Yizhi picked up a sandbag and weighed it in his hand. The weight seemed okay, not too light. From such a distance, if a person was hit by it, it would hurt quite a bit. It was impossible that such a small doll couldn't be knocked down.
——[I often play this game in the park. Usually, the dolls will fall off with just a little hit!]
——[Right! How is it possible that she hit the dolls so many times but only one fell off?]
——[Check it! We must check it! There must be something wrong with the shelf!]
——[It's a shady store! Conduct a thorough investigation!]
Even the viewers watching through the screen were shouting that something was wrong.
Xie Yizhi threw the sandbag in his hand backhandedly, and it just hit the face of one of the Pikachu plush dolls. It definitely received the full force of the impact. But this Pikachu just swayed and finally remained standing on the shelf, not falling off.
"Your Pikachu has too much defense! It can't even be knocked down like this?"
"I have to go in and take a look," Xie Yizhi said and was about to step over the boundary line and approach the iron shelf, but he was stopped by the bald boss on the way.
"Hahaha, Young man, you can't touch this shelf. It's too troublesome to move it around," the bald boss said.
"We're just doing a small business. It's not easy."
"Look, miss, which one do you like? I'll give it to you. You can pick one," the bald boss said with a smile, pointing at several large plush dolls hanging on the side.
Although he still had a smile on his face, his tone was obviously a bit unhappy. If it weren't for Xie Yizhi's live broadcast and Tan Yuxi being a probationary police officer, he would have already chased them out if they were ordinary customers.
"I don't want the one you give me. I want the one we win ourselves," Tan Yuxi waved her hand.
Xie Yizhi ignored the bald boss and tried to sidestep him and walk towards the iron shelf. But he found that the bald boss was pulling his clothes with increasing force, which made Xie Yizhi frown and his face darken.
"Not letting me see?" Xie Yizhi asked.
"You can't see it. I'll say it again. Either you play or you leave, you two," the bald boss stopped pretending. In his opinion, these two were clearly looking for trouble. So what if she was a probationary police officer? He was running a business. The prices were clearly marked. It was up to the customers whether they wanted to play or not. No one was forcing anyone.
"What kind of attitude is this? I now suspect that you have the suspicion of defrauding consumers."
"Please cooperate with the investigation!" Tan Yuxi had never seen someone so arrogant before. She took out her ID again, trying to intimidate the other party.
But obviously, the bald boss was an old hand. He spread his hands and said, "What consumers have I defrauded?"
"Did I charge any extra fees? Or did I not give the rewards when the dolls were knocked down?"
"When I run a store, I have to set the rules for how the business is done. It's not that just because you're a police officer, you can bully us ordinary people."
Not only did he refute her without any loopholes, but he also put a label on Tan Yuxi.
"You!" Tan Yuxi was so angry that her nostrils flared and her mouth twisted, but she just couldn't say anything. Her eyes instinctively looked at Xie Yizhi.
——[Damn! This attitude! It's obvious that the shelf has been tampered with!]
——[Isn't he afraid of the miss? He's so arrogant!]
——[I feel like the boss's expression has changed immediately. He's so fierce. It's so scary!]
——[He must be a habitual offender. He hasn't cheated a few people before!]
Since the other party was desperately blocking them, Xie Yizhi didn't want to make too much of a scene in the mall. He turned around and went back to Tan Yuxi's side. After all, Tan Yuxi was a police officer, and she definitely couldn't argue with such an old hand. If she was labeled wrongly later, it would be hard to explain and have a bad impact.
But... swallowing his anger like this wasn't in line with Xie Yizhi's way of doing things.
"You said that if we use your sandbags and knock down the dolls, we'll get the rewards, right?" Xie Yizhi asked.
"Yes. If you knock down one doll, you'll get the same small plush doll as a reward. Six dolls can be exchanged for a slightly larger one, and twenty dolls can be exchanged for one that's more than one meter tall," the bald boss stroked his beard and regained his smile. He could tell that the young man was getting worked up. With a beautiful girl by his side, he must really want to show off. Therefore, he would buy a lot of sandbags, but his dolls weren't so easy to knock down. As long as Xie Yizhi played, he definitely wouldn't lose. Of course, the more worked up he got, the better!
"Forget it. Let's not play. It's clearly a shady store!" Tan Yuxi said angrily. She planned to go back and report this to the leaders and colleagues in the police station.
As she spoke, she instinctively tugged at Xie Yizhi's arm. Xie Yizhi turned his head and bent down slightly, and the two of them looked into each other's eyes.
It had to be said that Tan Yuxi's skin was really good. Even without makeup, when looking at her from such a close distance, she still looked great. She blinked her eyes, and before she realized they were too close, Xie Yizhi's heart seemed to stop for a moment. The smell was so strong! When this woman ate the bullfrog, she must have eaten it with garlic!
