“I’m really sorry; I didn’t do it on purpose.”
Bi Fang looked embarrassed, just now when Yao Jun claimed the hunting knife couldn’t cut through, he couldn’t resist trying himself, only to find out how easily it…
Looking at the slit in the jacket, Yao Jun barely squeezed out a smile.
“No problem, it seems I bought a dud. Lucky for me, Master Fang helped me find out; I’m very grateful.”
It was he who said that not even a hunting knife could cut through it; he had to keep up the act, even if it meant doing so in tears.
Without delay, Yao Jun led Bi Fang to another jacket.
“Let’s take a look at this one, the Mammoth limited edition, a Swiss brand, designed for high latitudes and cold, rainy, snowy weather, which I think reflects the natural characteristics of its region well. It has personality, youth, and flashiness; for someone with an inverted triangle figure like Master Fang, it would definitely be very flattering, and this one is absolutely cut-resistant! Master Fang, you try again!”
“Ah, this… wouldn’t be good, right?” Bi Fang hesitated, worried that this one would get cut as well.
“No, this one is absolutely cut-resistant!” Yao Jun insisted, and Bi Fang had no choice but to test it with the knife.
“It’s impossible for me to have two duds at the same time…”
Sssshhh!
Another grating noise of tearing fabric.
Yao Jun fell silent.
He turned and left the room, then returned with another piece of equipment. “This one! This Ancestor Bird! It’s also for high latitudes and snowy mountains, and personally, I think it’s the best outdoor brand out there. It’s stylish and fairly restrained. The cut-resistance coefficient of this jacket is very high! I’ve tested it myself; it’s absolutely cut-resistant. Master Fang, you try!” But this time, Bi Fang flat-out refused to try again. Having sliced two jackets, he had begun to understand: surely, the clothes were supposed to be cut-resistant.
It’s not that the enemy is weak; instead, the System possesses a Gundam.
Compared to industrial assembly line products, the quality of items from the System was absolutely miles better. Just now, he had stealthily tried cutting an Ancestor Bird issued by the System and hadn’t made a scratch…
His hunting knife was not quite the same as Yao Jun’s…
However, this time Yao Jun would not take no for an answer; he insisted that Bi Fang must try, and refusing was not an option.
But Bi Fang simply refused to agree.
In the end, Yao Jun grabbed a knife and slashed fiercely at the jacket himself, not once but twice, clearly exerting a lot of force.
Sure enough, this time the jacket didn’t rip!
“Haha, look, it didn’t tear! It really didn’t tear! It’s truly cut-resistant!”
Yao Jun lifted the jacket and shouted excitedly.
He hadn’t lied!
The jacket really was cut-resistant!
Bi Fang nodded again and again.
Right, right, right; everything you said is right, just put the knife down.
“I knew it, you can’t trust the quality of products from Ugly Country, so many duds, I don’t understand how they got so famous!” Yao Jun put down the knife, indignant. He swore that in the future, buying anything from Mammoth would be a fool’s errand!
Bi Fang joined in criticizing with Yao Jun, and then tried to change the subject. “Don’t you have your own sports brand? How come I’ve never seen it?’ “Er.” Yao Jun scratched his forehead, suddenly a bit embarrassed, “Actually, it can’t compare with these big international brands, after all, they’ve been developing for so many years. If it were anyone else, I would definitely recommend my own products, but since it’s Master Fang, I can’t just give you any old thing.”
“Back when Master Fang became popular on the trending searches, I actually thought about asking you for an endorsement, but then I thought better of it.” Yao Jun’s meaning was clear; he knew Bi Fang would inevitably become a world-class survival master. If he endorsed an outdoor product that wasn’t top quality, it could damage his image.
Simply put, it wasn’t swanky enough.
In Yao Jun’s heart, only a top-tier brand like Ancestor Bird was worthy of Master Fang’s endorsement. His own brand was just minor league stuff. “Then why don’t you acquire Ancestor Bird?” Bi Fang suddenly asked. “What?” Yao Jun was startled; he had never dared to consider such a thing, stammering, “How could that be possible?”
“How is it not possible?” Bi Fang retorted, “Although Ancestor Bird is a high- end brand, its sales have always been lackluster. It has a good reputation but doesn’t make much profit. Your brand caters to the mass market, with thin margins but higher sales volumes, and is valued much higher, so why not?” His words were not without basis. Bi Fang remembered clearly that in his previous life, Ancestor Bird had been acquired by Anta. Why couldn’t Yao Jun do it?
Even if he couldn’t, didn’t he still have a father?
Bi Fang’s prompt seemed to open a door for Yao Jun. He had never considered this before, but now, it seemed feasible?
Bi Fang struck while the iron was hot, “If you can acquire Ancestor Bird, I’ll personally endorse you!”
“Really?” Yao Jun asked instinctively, and for a moment, he was tempted.
“Why would I lie to you?”
“I need to think about it, need to think.” Although Yao Jun was excited, he hadn’t lost his senses.
“Alright, then take your time thinking about it.” Bi Fang didn’t want to hustle Yao Jun; the guy wasn’t a fool, and he didn’t intend to trick him. Moreover, if the deal succeeded, Yao Jun might see his fortune soar.
Yao Jun felt the same way. Just thinking about everyone wearing domestic brands from underwear to outer shells when they went outdoors filled him with energy, his blood pumping with excitement, his metabolism speeding up, and before he even took the first step to conquer the mountains, he urinated.
But it was no matter, as the Hermes of domestic outdoor brands, everything from the inside to the outside was quick to dry.
Alright, enough dreaming. I actually came here for another purpose, to select universal equipment for the club,” Bi Fang woke Yao Jun from his daydream.
They returned to discussing serious business.
At eight o’clock in the evening, Bi Fang and Yao Jun finished dinner and each went home.
On the way, Bi Fang suddenly received a call.
“Hello, is this Bi Fang, Mr. Bi? This is the Xicheng City Public Security Bureau.
We have a few questions for you. Are you available?”
The police?
Bi Fang was confused upon receiving the call. What did the police want with him?
“I’m available, go ahead and ask,” he said.
“Do you know Lu Wentao and Lu Junming?”
Is something the matter?” Bi Fang frowned; he certainly knew of them, but he had never met them face to face. He left Shark precisely because of their scheming.
But thanks to them, Bi Fang had seen Shark’s true colors.
“Well, we received a report and apprehended two individuals. Surveillance confirms that they were acting suspiciously. They clearly don’t live nearby, yet they lingered in front of your house for quite a while. However, they produced their IDs, admitted they were there to see you, and claimed you would not fail to recognise them, so we called to verify,” the officer said.
“Oh, I don’t know them,” Bi Fang said, almost squinting with a big smile, as he spoke into the phone with conviction.
Please, officer, make sure to ask them why they were lingering in front of my house. As a good citizen, I’m very scared,” he said.
“Don’t worry, we won’t wrong a good person, nor will we let any bad person go! We will get to the bottom of their intentions,” the officer assured.
The policeman on the other end was instantly alarmed at the response.
What’s going on here?
Those two shifty-looking characters were indeed up to no good, daring to lie to the righteous people’s police!
No, it seemed that they couldn’t be released so easily!
They needed to be interrogated!
