When this subordinate went back, Peter was indeed angry.
When he heard the report from his subordinate and how those customers refused to sell him their purchase at a much higher price, he was anxious and angry.
The subordinate said, "Boss, I'll send people to guard the entrance of the supermarket tonight. We'll definitely be able to buy the things we need tomorrow!"
That plan worked. They got the stuff from the supermarket. The subordinate carried two baskets of things to Peter's office.
Peter looked at the things in the basket and frowned. He asked, "Why did you buy so little?"
The subordinate said with a bitter face, "Boss, the people we sent lined up at the back of the line. When it was their turn, most of the things had been sold already. It's already not bad that we managed to get something."
