One of the servants pleaded) “Boss, we were wrong. We only wanted to sell
ourselves sooner so that you would not need to suffer losses. Please understand. We didn’t have any other intentions.”
The broker laughed coldly and said, “If no one buys you in 10 days, then you will be heading to the mines!”
As he said that, the broker instructed someone to watch over them. He then went to bring other servants for Zhao Chuchu to inspect.
There were a total of three of them. They did not seem very old, around their late twenties to early thirties. All of them had toned physiques. They must be practitioners.
They remained motionless under Zhao Chuchu’s scrutiny. It was as though they were completely ignoring her.
If the Ruyu Center was open to men as well, they would be prime candidates. Unfortunately, the center would only be open to women. Big muscular men like them would not be allowed in.
No young maiden would dare to come with such men at the center.
This era was different from the future. In the village, people were not particular about the segregation of the sexes. However, it was different in the capital.
Only young maidens from large clans could afford to come to the Ruyu Center. They would be even more reluctant for men to be present there.
Zhao Chuchu said, “Forget it. Broker, help me keep an eye on any suitable candidates. If you encounter any female newcomers that are around the same age as this girl, let me know. I’ll make another trip here.”
“Tsk. If you cannot afford us, why pretend to be rich?”
The broker had yet to reply when the man in the middle mocked Zhao Chuchu openly.
“A young girl like you cannot afford us three brothers. Do you know who we are? Are you even worthy of being protected by us?”
Zhao Chuchu remained silent.
She then picked up her ears and asked, “What did I hear just now? Did you question my worth? The three of you good-for-nothings have sold yourselves as slaves to the broker house. Between us, who is unworthy? You have already reached this point. Why do you still act so aloof? Do you think that you are worthy of me saving you from this place? What a joke.”
The man had not imagined that Zhao Chuchu would be so eloquent. He was immediately enraged. He retorted, “Bitch, what did you say…”
Smack!
The man was slapped loudly before he could finish speaking.
He didn’t even see clearly how Zhao Chuchu managed to slap him. She was already back in her seat.
He covered his reddened cheek and stared at Zhao Chuchu in disbelief. He exclaimed, “You dare to slap me?
“Your mouth stinks. You need a good slap as a wake-up call. Who do you think you are to be putting on airs in front of me?” Zhao Chuchu coldly snorted. “Are you dissatisfied? If you are, try hitting me. Why are you just standing there? Are you afraid of me? So, you are a coward, after all.”
“Bitch, I will teach you a lesson…”
Before the man could finish his sentence, he was kicked by Zhao Chuchu. He flew backward and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a long while.
She looked at the other two men and challenged them, saying, “What do you think? Your brother has been beaten up by me. Do you two want to attack me together?”
Stunned, the two men exchanged glances. They did not dare to act recklessly after witnessing the misery of their companion.
One of them said, “Madam, are you joking with us? I don’t know him well.”
The other man added, “Madam, if I’m lucky enough to be bought by you, I’ll surely be very loyal to you.”
Worried that Zhao Chuchu might take out her anger on them too, the two men were eager to clarify that they were not close with the man who had been beaten up.
She walked up to the man on the ground and teased, “This is how much your friendships are worth. I thought you were important to them. Do you still think that I’m unworthy to redeem you? I don’t want weaklings like you who can’t take a hit from me, even if they are free.”
The man coughed up blood.
Zhao Chuchu threw five pieces of silver to the broker and said, “Find a physician for him. Don’t let him die.”
“Mrs. Xie, five pieces of silver is enough to buy him,” the broker reminded her softly.
“Buy him? I wouldn’t want him to sully my home,” said Zhao Chuchu as she snorted.
That man scolded and struck women without reason. If they weren’t at the broker house, she would have let him suffer 10 times more than he was now.
The broker laughed sheepishly and did not say anymore.
The man was humiliated by Zhao Chuchu. His anger could not be quenched.
However, he was not as skilled as she was. Even if he was angry, he could not do anything about it. He could not defeat her.
Zhao Chuchu sat back down again and said, “Do not let this kind of trash in my sight ever again. He is an eyesore!”
“Yes, Mrs. Xie,” replied the broker as he quickly gave orders for the man to be taken away.
Initially, Zhao Chuchu planned to redeem the three of them.
After all, they looked fit. If she put some effort into training them, they would master her skills in no time.
After the Ruyu Center gained its popularity, she was thinking of opening a gym for men.
However, since one of them had already been beaten to a pulp by her, there was no need for her to consider them now.
Zhao Chuchu turned to look at the three people she had chosen and asked, “Are all of you willing to follow me? I am a very reasonable person. I prefer to take your views into consideration. If you don’t want me to buy you, I will not force you. I do not want you to work half-heartedly.”
“We are willing!” answered the three of them in unison.
Based on what happened just now, it was apparent to them that Zhao Chuchu was a reasonable person..
