Chapter 154 Can You Afford To Buy This Phone?
“Oh! Young Master Ding, do you know him?” Su Ming asked with a wry smile.
Ding Hao was considered popular in this area now.
The people had received news that Yunmeng Mountain, which was located further west, was going to
be developed soon. The Yunmeng village where Ding Hao lived would have to be relocated.
This area would become an important business area in the future.
As Ding Hao was going to inherit the valuable properties after the development of the village, he
started to be active around this area.
He was a regular customer of the shop, so the promoter knew him.
“Haha, not really. He’s my friend’s high school classmate.” Ding Hao shook his head.
He then ignored Chen Hao and turned to smile at Su Ming. “Su Ming, which phone model would you
recommend? I want to have a look. I’m buying new phones for two of my friends!” Ding Hao said.
The two friends he mentioned were obviously Chen Lin and Li Shihan.
Two of them were equally pretty, and Ding Hao liked both of them. However, he had realized that both
of the girls seemed to have a crush on him and he was in a dilemma. He was really anxious because
he could only pick one, and the other one would undoubtedly end up getting hurt. He pitied her,
regardless who it was.
In the end, he thought it was better to please both of them instead.
The two girls usually competed with each other in every way. It satisfied Ding Hao’s ego very much to
see this happen. In short, he felt great to be in such a position.
As expected, Chen Lin and Li Shihan were happy when they heard that he was going to buy them a
phone each, but their faces darkened right after that.
They were probably having the same thoughts in their minds—How do I gain all of Ding Hao’s love?
As for the other girls who were with them, they could only feel envious and jealous.
“Here, this is the latest model. Try it out!” Su Ming wore a smile on her face and quickly passed the
phone Chen Hao wanted to see to Ding Hao.
It stoked Chen Hao’s anger.
So the policies in your shop are only applicable to me!
Chen Hao wanted to burst into fury but didn’t because Li Shihan and Chen Lin were there. He didn’t
want to embarrass himself. Moreover, he really didn’t want to stay here with them any longer.
Chen Hao left and came to the famous branded phone store next door.
“Sir, we have just launched the latest model in our store. It’s an internationally well-known brand. The
first fifty customers can enjoy the exclusive offer, where you only need to pay 28,888 for the phone.
The original price is 32,000. Sir, do you want to have a look?”
Just as he entered the store, a promoter who looked about eighteen or nineteen came up to him with a
bright smile.
She looked nervous and she seemed to be new here. She didn’t really observe the appearance of
customers and only tried to promote the products.
But the price of the phone really shocked Chen Hao.
It was just too much for a phone to cost a few ten thousands.
After recognizing the brand and having a quick look at the features of the phone, Chen Hao understood
why it was so pricey.
It was said that this phone model was used by many presidents and military leaders from other
countries.
It had great function and superior quality. Moreover, the phone had many layers of security which
protected the user’s confidentiality.
It was even more powerful than the phone which cost 18,888.
“Sir, this phone is the most expensive model we have in our store. We have some models which are
more affordable too. You may have a look at this model, which cost only 6,888!” The promoter thought
the price startled Chen Hao as he was frozen.
Right, how can an ordinary person afford to buy a phone that costs up to 30,000? she thought. She
quickly recommended the other models to Chen Hao.
As the largest branded phone store in the whole mall, it was normal for the cheapest model to cost at
least 6,000.
“It’s alright. I’ll have a look at the most expensive one. Oh yeah, please lend me a SIM card eject pin,”
Chen Hao said with a smile.
“No problem, sir!” The promoter handed the phone and a SIM card eject pin to him carefully.
Since this was a shopping mall that specialized in selling mobile phones, there were security guards
patrolling and guarding every entrance. There were even special sensors in the stores. The
shopkeepers weren’t afraid of anyone stealing or changing the phones secretly and so on.
Chen Hao took the things from her and immediately inserted his SIM card into the new phone.
“Damn, what did you just say, Su Ming? This phone costs 18,888? It’s too much! It’s daylight robbery!”
Meanwhile, Ding Hao’s surprising exclamation could be heard from the store next door.
Li Shihan and Chen Lin who were standing by his side were startled by the price as well.
Even though the price scared them, they knew how great the phone was after looking at its model and
its functions. The camera had a very high megapixel, which was more important than anything else for
girls who prioritized their beauty, like them.
So, both of them looked at Ding Hao with anticipation, hoping that he would buy the phones for them.
But Ding Hao was breaking out in cold sweat and said, “No way. It’s too expensive. One phone costs
nearly 20,000, so two of them would cost nearly 40,000! It’s too much!”
He wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead.
His house was indeed being relocated due to the development of Yunmeng Mountain, but he would
only receive the reimbursement for the relocation after two or three months. He was actually spending
with his credit card now and he was only going to pay for it when he received the reimbursement later.
He could never afford to buy these two phones now.
“Young Master Ding, I didn’t think that there was something that you couldn’t afford. Since both of the
pretty girls like it so much, why don’t you just buy one for each of them?” Su Ming was very good at
doing sales. She immediately mentioned the name of Chen Lin and Li Shihan to persuade him to buy
the phones.
“Haha, I can’t buy them now. I’ll come back next time. Let’s go to the other stores to have a look!” With
that, he brought Li Shihan and Chen Lin, who were slightly reluctant to leave, to the other stores.
Su Ming was dismayed. She had reeled Ding Hao in and she wasn’t about to let this potential customer
out of her sight.
She immediately followed him.
“Young Master Ding, how about this store? This brand is very popular these days, and even the
cheapest model looks very classy!” Chen Lin walked up to him and said.
“Sure, let’s have a look. Damn, the price is from 6,888 onward?” As Ding Hao came closer, he glanced
at the price and was startled by it.
He didn’t even dare to think about the latest model in promotion, which costs 28,888!
Immediately, he showed an awkward expression and said, “How about we go to another store…”
Disappointment was written all over Li Shihan’s and Chen Lin’s faces.
Although the phone that costs 6,000 is considered expensive, as the heir who will be inheriting the
reimbursement soon, you are just a miser.
It’s not like we are asking for the phone that costs 28,888.
Besides, even if you bought the one that costs 28,888, we wouldn’t know how to use it. The price is
exorbitant and asking you to buy that overpriced phone is not realistic at all.
Chen Lin wanted to persuade Ding Hao to buy the phone. Just then, she turned her head around and
happened to see Chen Hao, who was lowering his head while inserting his SIM card.
“Damn! Chen Hao, it’s you again! Why do we have to meet you wherever we go? Don’t you look at the
brand before buying a phone? Do you think you can afford the phone of this brand?” Chen Lin was in a
bad mood. Initially, she wouldn’t mind even if she saw Chen Hao.
But now, she was frustrated because Ding Hao couldn’t afford to buy the phones in this store and they
were about to leave. She got even angrier when she saw Chen Hao acting cool and looking at the
phones in the store.
She taunted him promptly.
“I’m here to buy a phone. Is there a problem?” Listening to her mockery, Chen Hao couldn’t help but
shoot back at her. He had inserted his SIM card and had quickly downloaded the app for e-wallet. Henovelbin
was about to make the payment for the phone.
“Oh dear, why are you still acting? Look at yourself, do you think you can afford this phone?” Chen Lin
got angrier.
“Chen Lin, look! Chen Hao is holding the phone that costs 28,888. Damn, does he think he can buy it?
Hahaha…”
Just then, Ding Hao felt much relief. The embarrassment of him not being able to afford the phone just
now was gone with Chen Hao here as a contrast.
Li Shihan knitted her eyebrow and stared at Chen Hao…
