Chapter 766 Meeting Lu Xiaolan Again
The saleswoman's legs turned to jelly, and she sat down on the ground. It took her a while to get up.
She could only turn to Chen Xuan for help.
"You two, stop this nonsense," Chen Xuan said with a frown.
"How about this, swipe her card to buy one phone, and then swipe mine to buy another phone," Murong Meng suddenly had an idea and said, "This way, one phone can be exclusively for my calls, and the other can be exclusively for Qiu Yingying's calls."
"Yes!" Qiu Yingying's eyes lit up, and she nodded in agreement. It was a rare occasion for her to agree with Murong Meng.
"Two phones? Isn't that too much trouble for me to carry?" Chen Xuan found it inconvenient.
"How can it be troublesome? Not at all!"
"They'll all be in the bag anyway, I don't need to carry them on me."
"Right, right, right!"
"We must buy two."
Murong Meng and Qiu Yingying chimed in, their voices lively, effectively shutting down Chen Xuan's objection. Chen Xuan, too weary to argue further and already feeling a headache, finally agreed.
Only the saleswoman was delighted, unexpectedly securing another sale. What a pleasant surprise!
"Manager, the customers are buying two fifty-thousand-yuan custom phones!" After paying a five-thousand-yuan deposit, the saleswoman rushed to the manager, asking him to retrieve the merchandise from the warehouse.
"Esteemed guests, the three of you may rest in the lounge area for a while. Our manager has already driven off to get your phones and should be back shortly." The saleswoman smiled and gestured towards the adjacent lounge.
Just as Chen Xuan was leading Murong Meng and Qiu Yingying to the lounge, a sharp, sarcastic voice echoed, "Chen Xuan, buying a phone?"
Chen Xuan turned his head and saw a woman arm-in-arm with a man approaching from nearby. This woman was Lu Xiaolan, the eccentric female streamer he'd met on a blind date before. He glanced at the man beside her. The man was quite handsome, standing at 1.8 meters, with a robust build and good looks. Could this be the big spender from her live streams?
In fact, Chen Xuan's guess was correct. The man beside Lu Xiaolan was indeed her top supporter, who had generously gifted ten sets of "Big Rockets" in her live stream. This man, Luo Dabiao, owned a factory and was worth tens of millions. His favorite type of women were those he called "Queen Reds," and both his current girlfriends were streamers on a certain live-streaming platform. Coincidentally, upon meeting, Luo Dabiao, to show his sincerity, had come to buy Lu Xiaolan a phone and ran into Chen Xuan.
"Yes," Chen Xuan replied nonchalantly.
"Are you buying a hundred-yuan phone, or a thousand-yuan phone?" Lu Xiaolan asked mockingly. She had seen Chen Xuan's Porsche, but then she thought it through. With Chen Xuan's sloppy attire, how could he possibly own a Porsche? It must be rented! People sometimes rented high-end clothes for blind dates and returned them afterward; such things were common. Renting a luxury car for a blind date was hardly surprising.
"Neither," Chen Xuan replied.
"You're not going to buy an Apple phone, are you?" Lu Xiaolan glanced at the saleswoman who was tidying up the counter and putting an Apple phone back on the shelf. A look of disdain crossed her face, further solidifying her assumptions. She even said to the saleswoman, "Salesperson, this guy is a broke bum. He probably doesn't have a dime and is just looking. Don't be fooled by him!"
The saleswoman looked at Lu Xiaolan as if she were an idiot and then said coldly, "Miss, if you're not buying a phone, please leave."
Lu Xiaolan hadn't expected such an attitude from the saleswoman. Shouldn't the saleswoman, knowing the situation, scold Chen Xuan?
"Why wouldn't I buy? Not only will I buy, but I'll buy the best! Right, darling?" Lu Xiaolan retorted. She had bought a thousand-yuan phone here before and had been given the cold shoulder by the saleswoman, which had been mortifying. She came here to buy a phone with the intention of getting revenge.
Luo Dabiao, wanting to please Lu Xiaolan, chimed in, "Just the best, the most expensive!"
The saleswoman naturally didn't refuse a customer and said indifferently, "What kind of phone would you like?"
Lu Xiaolan pointed at the Apple phone the saleswoman was holding and immediately said, "I want this Apple phone, the Peak Blue!" She then turned to mock Chen Xuan, "Do you know that the Peak Blue Apple phone, with one terabyte of storage, the top configuration, costs over ten thousand yuan! Can you afford it? You, a broke bum who can't even afford a phone, can find a girlfriend? Hahaha..."
"It's only ten thousand yuan, not much money! Hahaha!" Luo Dabiao also threw his head back and laughed, looking at Chen Xuan mockingly. Is there anything more satisfying for a man than to put down another man in front of a woman?
"Darling, you're amazing! Let's have a baby tonight," Lu Xiaolan said shamelessly. Luo Dabiao was instantly excited. A mere Apple phone had accelerated their relationship; it was wonderful!
"Swipe card!" When is a man most dashing? Of course, it's when he's swiping his card! Luo Dabiao had already taken out a bank card from his wallet and placed it in front of the saleswoman.
However—
The saleswoman seemed to notice something and turned to leave. "Hey, where are you going? I order you to come back!" Lu Xiaolan shouted angrily. But the saleswoman didn't even look back.
Lu Xiaolan and Luo Dabiao's faces turned grim. They followed her gaze. The manager of the phone store, carrying a case, rushed in breathlessly, and the saleswoman hurried to meet him. The manager was a portly man who waddled like a penguin as he walked. His haste made him appear even more comical.
After a brief exchange with the manager, the saleswoman walked towards Chen Xuan. "Sir, your phone is here!" the saleswoman said, approaching Chen Xuan.
Seeing this, Luo Dabiao became furious and shouted, "What do you mean? I'm in the middle of buying something, and you're abandoning me to serve another customer? Do you believe I won't want this Peak Blue Apple phone anymore!"
"Exactly! We're buying the over ten-thousand-yuan Peak Blue Apple, while he's just a show-off pauper who can't afford a decent phone. You need to think clearly!" Lu Xiaolan also put her hands on her hips, saying indignantly. They were extremely displeased with the saleswoman's dismissive attitude.
"You're buying the Apple Peak Blue?" The saleswoman was about to speak, but the manager stopped her. He looked at Luo Dabiao and Lu Xiaolan with a cold smile.
"Indeed!" Luo Dabiao said, chest puffed out. Lu Xiaolan nodded repeatedly, a look of pride on her face. The Peak Blue Apple, the king of mobile phones, was the most expensive phone she knew of.
"Heh, it's just an Apple phone, and you dare compare it to our VIP customer?" the manager sneered.
"What do you mean?" Lu Xiaolan frowned. "Did this punk buy some expensive phone?" Was there a phone more expensive than the Peak Blue Apple?
"Open your damn eyes and see clearly!" With that, the manager placed the case on the counter and pressed a button. Soon, the sound of a mechanical lock turning came from inside the case. The next moment, the lid of the case slowly lifted on its own...
