Chapter 4: First Encounter Twists and Turns 1. Finally, I can become a rich person
An Chengye kept his promise. When Mai Xiaoshu woke up the next day and was washing up in the bathroom, the cell phone on the sink rang, and a text message from the bank jumped into his eyes: RMB 100,000 has been deposited into your account.
The contract deposit that An Chengye mentioned yesterday was actually 100,000 yuan!
He is indeed a wealthy man with plenty of money!
Mai Xiaoshu rubbed her eyes and stared at her phone over and over again. The numbers on the screen didn't disappear. Only then did she dare to confirm that this huge sum of money really belonged to her: "I'm rich now!"
When she came out of the bathroom with a nervous and happy mood, she saw Song Feifei standing in front of the table, pressing buttons randomly on the rice cooker. The poor rice cooker's plastic buttons, which had long been loose, flew in an arc to Mai Xiaoshu's feet . It seemed that another home appliance had been "retired" gloriously.
Song Feifei turned around aggrievedly: "The rice cooker broke down, and the porridge we cooked last night was not cooked. We can only eat raw bread."
"The rice cooker should have been replaced long ago," Mai Xiaoshu walked over, took a look at the cold porridge in the pot, and said to Song Feifei with a bright face, "Let's go out to eat. It's my treat."
"Ah? The sun didn't rise from the west today!" Song Feifei looked at Mai Xiaoshu in disbelief, and then looked left and right out the window.
"Ah for what?"
"What's wrong with you? Normally you would say just eat something . What's going on today? Why did the word 'treat' come out of your mouth?" Song Feifei raised her little face and looked at Mai Xiaoshu suspiciously.
"I'm not as stingy as you say. I was just too tight financially before and wanted to save some money!" "You've always been tight financially, haven't you? How come you look so radiant when you woke up today? Did you win the lottery?"
"I'm not that lucky. It's just that I will start working at Sicool Technology from next week. The salary they offer is very considerable..." Mai Xiaoshu said vaguely, but did not dare to reveal the real reason for being hired.
"Really? You've had a lot of good things happen to you recently. It must be that the amulet I prayed for you last time worked." Song Feifei shook Mai Xiaoshu in delight. Her face instantly lit up with the same glow as Mai Xiaoshu's. "I heard that the salary at Shiku Technology ranks among the top ten in the world. We're rich now, rich!"
"It's not like I'm going to get rich. I'm just starting out as an intern."
"Intern? The salary should be at least 5,000, which is much higher than the 800 a month you make working in the zoo." Song Feifei looked like a money-grubber.
"Well... it's quite high." It's not just five thousand, An Chengye offered an annual salary of one million! But An Chengye asked not to leak any news about the project, fearing that Song Feifei would be suspicious after hearing about the high salary, so he had to hide it from her.
Song Feifei suddenly seemed to think of something and asked curiously, "Hey, how did you pass the interview? I heard they are very strict in recruiting people?"
"Because... because they found that I was diligent and careful during the interview, and the new project is in urgent need of an intern assistant. In fact, it's just some odd jobs and errands, so they let me try it first..." She deliberately made it sound simple, fearing that Song Feifei would delve into it, so she quickly changed the subject, "Hurry up and wash up, or your favorite Zhou Ji Wonton will be closed if you don't go out!"
"Okay, I'll be there soon." Speaking of food, Song Feifei touched her hungry stomach and nodded quickly.
Zhouji Wonton is located on the basement floor of White Bear Plaza. Today is the weekend and there is a long queue outside the store. Fortunately, hard work pays off and the two of them waited for the last two bowls of wontons. After eating and drinking their fill, Mai Xiaoshu took Song Feifei to the first floor to buy a new rice cooker.
Although there was 100,000 yuan in the bank card, Mai Xiaoshu didn't dare to spend it recklessly. The two of them walked around the mall for a long time and found that nothing was cheap.
"What? A small rice cooker costs thousands of dollars!" Song Feifei couldn't help but complain when she saw the astronomical figures on the price list.
"There are discounts over there." Mai Xiaoshu saw a store that was having a clearance sale and pulled the discouraged Song Feifei inside.
When Mai Xiaoshu was showing the store clerk the size of the rice cooker he needed, a female voice came from a distance: "Mai Xiaoshu!"
Yin Lunmei, dressed in youthful and beautiful clothes, appeared out of nowhere. Behind her were two people who looked like bodyguards, helping her carry shopping bags of various sizes. The huge logos of LV and Chanel made Song Feifei's eyes sparkle.
“How could it be her!” Mai Xiaoshu wanted to pretend not to see it, but Yin Lunmei was not going to let her go and walked towards them quickly.
"Am I seeing right? You will also come to White Bear Mall?" Yin Lunmei put her hands on her hips and looked at Mai Xiaoshu with an incredible expression. She then glanced at Song Feifei, who was standing next to her in simple clothes, with a look of disgust.
"Why can't we be here?" Mai Xiaoshu twitched his lips and asked back.
"Of course you can't even pay the tuition." Yin Lunmei deliberately raised her voice and looked at the clerk who was about to pick up new goods. "Although KZ is not a high-end brand, their small appliances are not cheap after discount. Can you afford it? Don't let the clerk work in vain."
When the female clerk heard this, she looked at Mai Xiaoshu and Song Feifei hesitantly and said, "Girls, this product costs 800 yuan. Are you sure you want it?"
"Eight hundred?" Song Feifei was shocked. The two of them had originally budgeted for about two hundred, and they came in because they saw the word "discount" prominently marked at the door of the store. If they had known it was so expensive, they would not have bothered the clerk to introduce it.
"Let's take a look at other things." Song Feifei tried to pull Mai Xiaoshu away.
Mai Xiaoshu was stunned for a moment and muttered, a pot for cooking is still selling for eight hundred after a discount?
Seeing Song Feifei's embarrassed and frustrated look, and then looking back at Yin Lunmei's arrogant look, Mai Xiaoshu's fighting spirit was aroused. She took out a bank card from her bag, handed it to the clerk, and said decisively: "Of course, swipe the card now!"
"Okay, okay, I'll pack it for you right away." Upon noticing how generous the two girls were, the clerk immediately resumed his attentive attitude.
"Haha, stop bragging. Eight hundred is equivalent to your monthly salary, right?" Yin Lunmei continued to sarcastically.
"Don't look down on others like that. No matter how poor we are, it's none of your business! Besides, this money was earned by Xiaoshu through hard work. She can spend it however she wants. What's it to you? Look at yourself. Every penny you spend is given by your parents. To use biological terms, you are a parasite! What right do you have to look down on others?" Song Feifei had long disliked Yin Lunmei. At school, she had to endure it because of her status as vice president. But outside of school, she acted like an official and deliberately made things difficult for others. She really couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to defend her good friend regardless of the consequences.
"You said I'm a parasite?" Yin Lunmei's face turned red with anger. "I... I can reincarnate but you can't. I'm just better than you!"
"Fei Fei, let's go. Don't argue with such an ignorant girl. It's not decent." Noticing that more and more people were watching the fun around, and some were pretending to take out their phones to take pictures, Mai Xiaoshu didn't want to make things worse, so he held the shopping bag in one hand and pulled Song Feifei's hand with the other and walked towards the mall exit.
"Who are you calling ignorant, you country bumpkin? Mai Xiaoshu, don't leave!" Yin Lunmei stared at the two enemies' gradually disappearing backs with wide eyes, turned to look at the onlookers, and stamped her feet in anger, "What are you filming! Be careful or I'll sue you for violating my privacy!" Even the two bodyguards behind him were affected: "Why don't you speak for me? Are you all mute?"
No one could stop this young lady from "exploding" on the spot.
