Chapter 574 The Businesswoman Who Breaks Down
"Rumors?"
Tao Yao repeated the word, her clear eyes quietly watching the businesswoman, her voice carrying a pure, almost cruel, innocence.
"So, the most crucial destination on that map is just a rumor you heard from somewhere else, one you've never actually investigated?"
Her words were soft, yet like a precise scalpel, slowly and methodically dissecting all the excuses the businesswoman had previously constructed.
"And this just proves that the map you sold us is a fake."
"Your product is actually not that great."
This conclusion completely shattered the businesswoman's last bit of stubbornness.
"How is that possible!"
The businesswoman instinctively retorted, raising her voice several decibels.
"I already said, maps are time-sensitive! The wasteland changes every day! That's normal!"
Even if that rumor isn't necessarily true, at least... at least...
She spent "at least" half a day trying to find the right words to continue defending this uncertainty.
That self-righteous indignation deflated rapidly, like a punctured balloon. She stammered, her face turning red, but she couldn't utter a single complete sentence.
On the roof of the car, Ling Yue and A Que, who had been eavesdropping the whole time, had completely forgotten about their aches and pains.
They stared blankly at the scene outside the car window, their minds still reeling.
This pink-haired devil... is actually trying to reason with someone? And it seems he's even left the other person speechless?
Inside the carriage, Tao Yao, seeing the other woman's embarrassed appearance, did not let her off the hook.
She continued to deliver her finishing blow in that gentle tone, as if patiently instructing a student.
"See, you don't even know how to explain it yourself, right?"
"You yourself aren't even sure if your product is good or not, and yet you're selling it to us. Do you think that's appropriate?"
Every word Tao Yao uttered was like a precise blow, striking the most vulnerable part of the businesswoman's self-esteem.
"So, it's not that we don't want to buy your stuff."
Tao Yao's voice even carried a hint of grievance, as if she were the innocent consumer who was harmed by the inferior product.
"But from the current perspective, your product really doesn't seem to be effective. Even if we buy it, what if it breaks down on the way?"
This problem has completely cornered the businesswoman.
Her mind went blank; all her sales pitches and sophistry failed her at that moment. In desperation, a thought blurted out.
"I'll definitely provide after-sales service for this!"
She was stunned for a moment as soon as she said it.
But in order to save face as a "top salesperson," she had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue.
"Yes! After-sales service! Everything sold by me comes with a lifetime warranty and technical support! I'll compensate you for any problems that arise!"
She patted her chest, trying to salvage the situation with a seemingly sincere promise.
However, she was facing Tao Yao.
"This is not an after-sales issue."
Tao Yao gently shook her head. Her innocent and harmless appearance made her next words seem even more convincing.
"Knowing that the product itself is very likely to have problems, do you really have the nerve to sell it to us?"
"..."
The businesswoman fell completely silent.
She felt that her eloquence, which she was so proud of, was like a child's trick in front of this pink-haired woman, which was easily seen through and ruthlessly dismantled.
She was pushed to the limit.
That absolute confidence, stemming from its own products and professional capabilities, is now being repeatedly trampled on by the other party.
This is even more painful than killing her outright!
"Row!"
The businesswoman gritted her teeth, as if she had made an extremely difficult decision, and exuded an air of "what's the use of trying?"
"Since you think there's something wrong with my product, I'll let you try it for free, okay?"
"I'll give you that 'Eagle Eye III' drone! It's free!"
"Even if it really runs into problems, you won't have paid any price! Now you won't have anything to say, right?"
She thought that her declaration of "giving away for free" was sincere enough and enough to shut the other party up.
However, she was still too naive.
A faint smile finally appeared on Tao Yao's sweet face.
But the words that came out of her mouth were still a refusal.
"No no no..."
She waved her hand dismissively, as if the other party was giving her not some high-tech product, but a pile of hot garbage.
"Even if it's a free trial, don't we still become your guinea pigs?"
"What if your product has some unexpected problems? Wouldn't we be the ones who suffer?"
Tao Yao stretched out a slender finger and pointed to the twisted and deformed motorcycle not far away.
"Like that high-tech motorcycle you just mentioned, it looked amazing, but it couldn't even stop properly."
"If this had happened to me and Fei Ying, we would probably be dead in a car crash by now."
"Your product is too risky."
These words are reasonable and full of concern for personal safety.
To the businesswoman, however, it sounded like the most complete denial of her as a person and all her products.
She felt like her lungs were about to explode with anger.
"So what exactly do you want?!"
The businesswoman finally couldn't hold back any longer and practically shouted those words.
She stared intently at Tao Yao, looking as if she wanted to pounce on her and bite her.
Standing to the side, Fei Ying watched as Tao Yao pushed the wandering merchant to the brink of collapse step by step. A hint of helplessness appeared on her usually cold face.
This wicked woman really doesn't hold back when she bullies people.
Faced with the businesswoman's questioning, Tao Yao finally revealed her true intentions.
She slowly revealed her ultimate goal.
"It's very simple."
"You want us to be your guinea pigs, to test whether your product works or not."
"As the party being tested, you must pay some price and give us some compensation, right?"
"Otherwise, let's not do the deal."
Tao Yao shrugged, her face clearly showing her predicament.
"After all, your product is really not good."
The word "no" was like two sharp knives, piercing the businesswoman's heart.
She shuddered.
Then, she slowly, deeply, took a breath.
The surrounding air seemed to freeze at that moment.
"You can say I'm no good, fine."
The businesswoman's voice was surprisingly calm, but beneath that calm lay a volcanic rage.
"Even if you say I have character issues, I won't care."
"but!"
She suddenly raised her head, each word seeming to be squeezed out from between her teeth.
"You shouldn't have... questioned whether my product had any problems!"
This is her bottom line, the foundation upon which she survives in this wasteland! It is her faith!
The next second, she seemed to have no choice but to go all out.
"You can use that 'Eagle Eye III' drone, and everything else usable in my car! It's all free!"
"From now on, if you want anything on your journey, or need any rare supplies, just tell me! I'll find them for you!"
"Is this alright now?!"
She used almost all her strength to shout out this extremely humiliating, yet unwilling, condition.
She wants to prove it!
She was determined to prove to this despicable woman that her product was the best in the wasteland!
She had barely finished speaking.
Inside the carriage, Tao Yao's face, which had been showing a hint of innocence and embarrassment, suddenly blossomed into a radiant smile of triumph.
She snapped her fingers decisively.
"make a deal!"
The crisp sound of "Deal!" echoed like thunder across the highway.
The businesswoman froze completely.
Ling Yue and A Que, who were on the roof of the car, had their mouths agape, wide enough to fit an egg.
Hiyori, in the passenger seat, helplessly raised her hand and gently touched her forehead.
They all stared at this surreal scene with a complex mix of shock, bewilderment, and a hint of amusement.
This incredibly powerful pink-haired woman, in just a few words, not only got a bunch of high-tech products for free, but also found a free, readily available helper for her group...
Logistics supplier?
The homeless merchant who was tricked and crippled seems to still be immersed in the tragic emotion of defending the dignity of his product, completely unaware of how deep a pit he has fallen into.
