Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
[The skincare products he sold still cost 1,900 dollars after the discount. The most expensive skincare products I use only cost a few hundred dollars. I’m still a freshman. If my parents knew that I bought skincare products that cost 1,900 dollars, they would beat me to death.]
[The bag he just sold was for 100,000 dollars. Does he know how much the bag we’re carrying costs? Did he think a 100,000 dollar bag was considered cheap? Ordinary farmers can barely earn that much a year by planting crops. Ordinary workers can only earn 100,000 dollars a year.]
[100,000 dollars is equivalent to a normal person’s annual salary, but in Lu Li’s eyes, 100,000 dollars is the same as 100 dollars. Does he really understand our spending style? He even put on a look as if he was thinking for us but we didn’t appreciate it.]
[To think that 1 was looking forward to his live broadcast. I came to watch, but all 1 received was humiliation. I never thought that I would be looked down upon by the seller.]
More and more curses started to flow in, causing Lu Li to frown.
He asked his assistant sitting next to him, “Why are they reacting so strongly? 1 fought so hard for them to gain from this. If they buy these things in the mall, the price will be much higher. I’m just trying to improve their standard of life. Shouldn’t they be grateful to me?”
The assistant looked troubled. He didn’t know what to say.
If he comforted Lu Li, he would offend the viewers. Since Lu Li had asked him, if he didn’t say anything, he would offend Lu Li.
The assistant said helplessly, “Maybe you have different spending standards from us. The prices might be out of range for ordinary workers like us. Actually, many people only earn a few thousand dollars a month. They still have to pay rent, water, electricity, food, and clothes. Other than trying to survive, they won’t have much money left.”
Lu Li still didn’t understand. “Since they feel that the money they earn isn’t enough to support themselves, why can’t they just work harder? Shouldn’t they work hard to make a better life for themselves?”
Lu Li didn’t wait for his assistant to reply. He looked at the stream again and said, “Although everyone starts from different places, your fate is in your own hands. The reason you’re living a mediocre life now is because you haven’t worked hard enough. If you think the prices of these products I sell are high, then treat this as your goal. You have to work harder to earn more money so that you can afford these products and live a good life.”
Hearing Lu Li’s words, the people in the stream became even angrier and began to talk back to him.
[Do you think that by working hard we’ll be rewarded even more? Even if we work 12 hours a day, our wages won’t reach your level of consumption.]
[You didn’t rely on your own hard work to live such a life. You were born into a rich family because you were lucky. What right do you have to look down on us?]
[Every penny we earn is earned by our own hard work, but what about you? Have you ever worked for anyone else? Your parents have given you everything since birth, right?]
[It’s easy for you to do anything since you’re born into a wealthy family. You have no idea how difficult it is for ordinary people to achieve a high income. Do you think we can enter so many big companies just because we want to?]
[There are many graduates from top universities who can’t find a good job after they graduate. The salary of an intern is only a few thousand dollars a month. They work very hard, but they still can’t change their fate. It’s because the money in the market is controlled by you capitalists. It’s too difficult for ordinary people to live a luxurious life like you.]
[We didn’t attack you for being rich, but you’re here to complain that we’re poor. With your attitude, no one would want to buy from you. We can’t afford to waste time here.]
[Why were you trying to compare yourself to Pei Xin in the first place? Look at the products that Pei Xin sells. They are all helpful and cheap. They are cheap and easy to use. What about you? Keep the things you sell for yourself.]
Lu Li panicked when he saw that everyone in the stream was scolding him.
He didn’t understand, and at the same time, he was getting annoyed. He felt that the people in the stream had no sense of worth. What kind of products were Pei Xin selling that he couldn’t sell? What he was selling was the good stuff.
The assistant beside him looked at Lu Li helplessly..
