Chapter 36 - Their eyes met (2) (1/2)

She accepted it and listed her down straight out as “Ji Xiao’s Schoolmate”.

Chen Jinyao sent her a cute emoji.

About two minutes passed.

Ji Xiao’s Classmate: “Hello, Sister Chen. I would like to ask, how much would it cost to straighten my teeth?”

It was the same question Ji Xiao asked her.

Chen Jinyao: “That would depend on the circumstances. You can send me a photo of the current state of your teeth. It would generally require about 5k or so.”

The photo was not sent over.

Ji Xiao’s Classmate: “That expensive?”

“…” Chen Jinyao really didn’t know how to respond to that. She lazily shut her eyes. For Ji Xiao’s sake, she was certainly able to understand the tight money situation of her schoolmate. She also told Ji Xiao she would give her a discount, but you couldn’t just cut the price in half with a discount, right?

Ji Xiao’s Classmate: “Wouldn’t small clinics generally charge cheaper?”

Oh.

Seeing this question means she had an idea about the prices for orthodontic treatments.

Chen Jinyao narrowed her eyes. “The fee is the same as other regular clinics. You can also ask other places.”

It was rare for her to have such patience to continue dealing with her.

Chen Jinyao: “I can give you a 500 yuan discount, but that’s as much as I can go.”

Ji Xiao’s Schoolmate: “Can’t you give a higher discount?”

Her cramps were getting worse. It was easy for a woman on her period to get irritated.

Especially while her stomach was hungry, her usual calm was completely gone. This was a less than pleasant negotiation.

Chen JInyao emphasized that she was running a clinic, not a charity.

Then, as a final touch, she wrote, “I really can’t go any lower.”
