"Xiao Ming stood at the classroom door, took a deep breath, and firmly held the secret letter his mother had given him." Lu Man's face was very unpleasant, and the young girl, as always, spoke without reserve, "Let's go and chase after them!"
In a few quick steps, she ran toward the nearby electric scooter.
Yang Tingting was only slightly stunned for a moment, then followed her. She realized that when it came to Lin Yihang, her heart was also a bit乱 (disordered).
The two of them rode the electric scooter and chased in the direction Lin Yihang had just left. Unfortunately, the pedestrians on the road were in a mess. Due to their delay, they had already lost his trail and couldn't even see his back. After searching for a while and finding nothing, they could only give up in a huff.
...
At the Gome Electrical Appliances mobile phone store.
As soon as Lin Yihang and Dong Qing entered, a beautiful saleswoman immediately came up to enthusiastically introduce the phones.
However, what made Lin Yihang depressed was that most of the phones she introduced were priced around one thousand yuan, or even less. Does he look so much like someone who isn't rich?
People are judged by their appearance, and horses by their saddles! It seems that buying a brand-name outfit is very necessary. The feeling of being looked down upon is very unpleasant.
Lin Yihang sighed inwardly. But he also knew that he couldn't blame the saleswoman, who was quite热情 (enthusiastic) and showed no sign of looking down on him.
"Xiao You, I'll take this customer. You go check if the prizes for the event are ready," a woman in her thirties, dressed in a business suit, came over. As she approached, a strong scent of perfume wafted over.
"Okay, Sister Zou," the saleswoman named Xiao You's face darkened slightly. Although she was somewhat unwilling, she respectfully agreed.
Competition is everywhere!
Lin Yihang, of course, understood what was going on. There weren't many customers in the store at the moment, and Sister Zou must have seen that he was a genuine buyer, so she used her seniority to snatch the performance.
As for Xiao You, she looked like a new salesperson... uh, a recent graduate. She might even be a part-time college student, still green. It was completely normal for her to have her business taken by a more experienced employee.
Lin Yihang understood this but didn't say anything. Such things happen all the time in society. He wasn't a savior and didn't have the ability to save all the weak.
Dong Qing also frowned slightly.
"Sister Zou" seemed completely unaware, smiling and starting to introduce phones to Lin Yihang. The prices she mentioned were a notch higher... mainly around 1,500 yuan.
"Sister Zou" had rich sales experience. She knew that a guy with a pretty girl was definitely a major consumer. Although this guy looked a bit 土鳖 (rural), in front of a beautiful girl, he would puff up his cheeks to act rich!
"Lenovo specialty, Nokia specialty, ZTE specialty..." Lin Yihang looked at the lighted signs in the phone mall.
"Why isn't there an Apple specialty store?" Lin Yihang asked curiously.
This guy knew that using an Apple phone was the most prestigious.
"Hehe, if you mean an Apple specialty store, I'm afraid there isn't one even in the provincial capital, let alone Shuncheng! However, we do have Apple phones, guaranteed to be genuine. Which model of Apple do you want? The 4S is now on sale for just 3,148 yuan," Sister Zou enthusiastically promoted.
"4S? No, no!" Lin Yihang shook his head.
Sister Zou's expression froze. She didn't expect that he wouldn't want the 4S. Even the older Apple 4 was almost out of stock. As for better models... Sister Zou didn't think much of it, as Lin Yihang was dressed in cheap, market-bought clothes, looking very shabby.
She already had some disdain. If you can't afford an Apple, don't pretend in front of a girl, acting like a big shot but unwilling to spend money.
More importantly, although the Apple 4 costs over two thousand yuan, because the model is more mature, the price is stable, and the profit margin is small, so her commission is also low.
"Actually, you can look at this new Lenovo phone. The Apple 4 is single-core, but this one is quad-core, with faster internet speed..." Sister Zou rattled off the introduction like a machine gun.
Lin Yihang gave her a strange look. When did he say he wanted to buy the Apple 4? He didn't even like the 4S, so why would he buy the Apple 4?
Before he could speak, Sister Zou's eyes suddenly lit up as she stared at the door. She left Lin Yihang and Dong Qing, turned toward the door, and waved to Xiao You, "Xiao You, you take care of these two customers."
Wasn't she just competing for business?
Lin Yihang turned his head in surprise and immediately understood what was going on.
Damn! A middle-aged man with a big belly, dressed in a suit, was walking in with a long-legged beauty in her twenties.
Sister Zou had spotted a better customer and handed them over.
Damn!
Anyone would be annoyed to be treated so lightly!
"Let's look at phones!" Just as Lin Yihang was about to react, Dong Qing pulled his sleeve.
"Really sorry," Xiao You walked over and gave a bitter smile.
Now, Lin Yihang didn't know how to react. He could only shake his head and ask, "Wasn't the new model that came out a few days ago the Apple 5S? And the 5C? Which one is better?"
"In terms of price, the 5S is more expensive. However, for everyday use, there's no need to buy such a good phone," Xiao You said, looking at Lin Yihang and thinking he didn't seem rich, fearing that the young man might act on impulse due to the earlier slight.
"Right! I'll take the 5S! I heard there's a gold version?" Lin Yihang decided, not wanting to waste words.
"The gold version costs extra. It was 5,980 yuan when it first came out, but it has dropped a bit and now costs 5,580 yuan," Xiao You said.
"Lin Yihang, we high school students don't need such an expensive phone. If you have money, a Xiaomi would be fine," Dong Qing also spoke up. She used a Xiaomi herself.
"What, do I look so much like someone who isn't rich?" Lin Yihang stared at Dong Qing with interest, pulled his backpack from behind, and placed it on the glass counter, quickly unzipping it.
Immediately, three stacks of bright red hundred-yuan bills were revealed, shining brightly.
Anyone with a bit of common sense could see that this was over thirty thousand yuan.
Thirty thousand yuan isn't a huge amount in this era of inflation, but carrying that much in a backpack and spending a few thousand on a phone is quite normal.
It seems he's a low-key rich second generation!
Xiao You's eyes lit up. She was pleasantly surprised, not expecting to close a deal so easily.
Dong Qing was also surprised. But thinking about it, it made sense. Although Lin Yihang's clothes were cheap, he ate medicinal dishes every day, and the ingredients, even without much knowledge, were clearly expensive.
Could someone who could afford such medicinal dishes be poor?
"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll get the phone for you right away," Xiao You smiled happily.
Selling a gold version would earn a good commission! More importantly, it would show in her performance. Their job was stressful, and sales performance was crucial.
The people who had looked at Lin Yihang strangely when he entered now understood.
Anyone who could afford a gold version was definitely rich! No wonder he could have such a beautiful girlfriend.
His simple clothes were just a sign of his low-key nature!
Of course, some people were annoyed. "Sister Zou" had left for a moment, and now saw that the guy she had dismissed as a 土鳖 (rural) had so smoothly bought a gold version. Her frustration was understandable.
This business should have been mine!
Sister Zou lamented in her heart.
But she had already used her seniority to snatch a business from Xiao You once. Now, she had handed it back, and the customer had already decided to buy. It would be unreasonable to snatch it back now.
The customer she was now serving looked rich, but... the gold version was already the most expensive phone in their store. Even if she closed the deal, it would be a break-even sale.
Sister Zou began to strongly recommend the gold version, "Boss, would you like to see the gold version? This student just bought one, and it's selling very well. It's just a bit more expensive."
Sister Zou's sales skills were excellent. Pointing out the high price often made many men more determined to buy. This is called the challenge method. No one wants to lose face in front of a beautiful woman.
"The price is no problem for us," the middle-aged man hadn't spoken yet, but the girl beside him spoke first, hugging his arm and shaking it, her large chest rubbing against his arm, "Darling, I want the gold version."
The man frowned, "Why do you want the gold version? It's vulgar! It's not suitable for women. I think the Apple 5C is fine, with its colorful options, which are more suitable for women."
The man clearly had no intention of buying the gold version. It was a difference of almost two thousand yuan!
If it were a normal day, selling an Apple 5C would be a good business, and Sister Zou would be satisfied.
But now, having just lost a gold version customer, if the one she was serving only bought a 5C, it would clearly show that her judgment was poor. Sister Zou could see her colleagues secretly laughing at her, and she suspected they were mocking her poor judgment.
No! She couldn't afford to lose this!
