Yansha Friendship Shopping City
It was already early autumn, but the mall's air conditioning was still blasting cold air, making it slightly chilly inside.
There were many customers coming and going. Perhaps because Maggi was wearing high heels and feared losing her balance, she instinctively grabbed Johny Lee's upper arm and pinched his elbow when she dodged a woman carrying a child who almost bumped into her.
She didn't let go even after they entered the main hall of Yansha. Johny immediately became nervous, glancing at his arm held by Maggi, while simultaneously stealing a peek at her figure, swallowing hard.
The first floor was mostly counters selling perfume and cosmetics; a pungent scent of roses and other unknown fragrances rushed toward them.
Stepping onto the smooth marble floor to go upstairs, they stopped as they passed the area selling formal suits, belts, and leather shoes.
Maggi pressed her hand against his arm. "Johny, I suggest you buy a suit. It will give your leaders a more mature and stable impression."
Johny nodded. "Sure, I'll listen to you."
With a great beauty like Maggi accompanying him, it didn't matter what they bought. He was just happy to be there.
A saleswoman approached them.
When she saw Maggi, a look of genuine surprise flashed across her face, what a beautiful person!
"...Uh, hello. What style are you looking for?"
Johny noticed that nearby sales staff and several male customers were also casting stunned glances their way. Some gazes lingered on Maggi's world-toppling face, while others wandered over her long legs.
Maggi had already started picking clothes for him, looking at this one and checking that one. "Do you have anything slightly more casual but professional?"
"Yes." The saleswoman pointed diagonally behind her. "Please come this way."
Maggi's eyes lit up. "Oh, this one is quite nice. Johny, come here."
She picked up a navy blue suit jacket and held it up against Johny to compare. She smiled, adjusting the collar. "Heh, so handsome. Not bad, not bad at all."
The saleswoman chimed in with a smile, "Yes, I think this outfit really suits your friend."
Your friend?
Johny was very sensitive to this term. People generally used "friend" as a polite euphemism for "partner." For example, if Johny were to introduce a girl he was dating, he would say "this is my friend," meaning girlfriend.
Thinking wildly like this, Johny's vanity couldn't help but feel a little satisfied.
Suits..... Leather shoes....Belts.
Long sleeves, Trousers... Sportswear.
Under Maggi's guidance, Johny acquired a decent set of gear. Of course, it cost quite a bit of money.
Seeing the saleswoman pack the clothes and shoes, Johny pulled out his wallet, ready to pay with his newfound stock earnings. "Where is the cashier?"
Maggi pulled his arm and said with a smile, "Let's go. I already paid the bill while you were trying on the clothes."
"Ah?" Johny was stunned and immediately cried out, "Maggi, what are you doing? No, no! How can I let you spend money on me? Give me the receipt; I'll pay you back!"
He felt so embarrassed. Maggi cooked for him and washed his clothes, and he had been thinking that once he got money, he must buy her something nice. Who would have thought she would buy clothes for him instead?
Maggi raised her hand and put on a stern face. "If you say another word, I'll hit you! Let's go!"
Johny clicked his tongue helplessly, turned back to grab the large shopping bags, and followed Maggi out, feeling conflicted.
No. I have to buy something for Maggi too, or I won't feel right.
Right! I need to change my phone anyway; the battery and buttons are barely working, and taking out this crappy knock-off phone in front of leaders is really embarrassing.
Maggi's phone also seemed to be an old Nokia model from two or three years ago.
Yes, yes! I'll buy one for her too!
"Maggi, I want to change my phone. Shall we go to the electronics mall for a bit?"
"Sure, there's a Suning Electronics store not far from here. Let's go."
The sky gradually darkened, and the stars began to twinkle above the city lights.
Two hundred meters away, Suning Appliance
National Day was approaching, so there were many people coming to buy home appliances during the sales.
Cars were parked haphazardly under the silk banners outside the store. Upon lifting the thick curtain and entering the mall, several computer and mobile phone counters were crowded right in front. Even the washing machine section in the corner was full of people.
Maggi thoughtfully helped Johny carry three of the shopping bags so he could look around. "What brand do you want to buy?"
Johny didn't care about himself; the key was choosing for her. He asked, "Which one do you think is good?"
"Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola... these are all pretty reliable."
After walking around the first-floor hall, Johny's eyes suddenly fell on the light-box advertisement at the Apple display, the iPhone 4.
This was a model that had taken the world by storm as soon as it was released. It had been out of stock for a while, and many 'Apple fans' would queue up at four or five in the morning just to buy one.
Johny had heard Tammy talk about it more than once; she was a die-hard fan of the iPhone 4 but could only sigh at the price.
Johny blinked and said, "The iPhone 4 seems very popular?"
"Isn't it? The design and specs are top-notch, but it's just too expensive."
"You think it looks good?"
Maggi gave a gentle smile. "Of course it looks good; otherwise, so many people wouldn't be buying it. I remember when the iPhone 4 first entered the country, the price was hyped up to ten thousand yuan per unit. Even if it's dropped a bit now, it must be around six thousand.
Anyway, I think the iPhone 4 is great. Well, let's wait. When the iPhone 5 comes out, the price of the 4 will probably drop. I'll consider getting one then. For now, forget it. I can't justify the cost."
Johny made up his mind. "Let's go take a look?"
"Sure, looking doesn't cost money, haha."
Maggi seemed to truly like this model. Walking to the counter, her gentle eyes couldn't leave the iPhone 4 in the glass display.
She looked and looked, and finally let the clerk take out a sample unit, feeling the sleek glass and metal in her hand.
The clerk was a young girl with a sweet voice. "Miss, the iPhone 4 currently comes in white and black. For the black ones, we are having a promotion. The 16GB unlocked phone is only 5,580 yuan. Miss, you are so beautiful; among all the phones, only this iPhone 4 suits you best."
Maggi played with the sample unit without saying anything, swiping the screen.
"If you buy it now, we also give away screen protectors and leather cases, and..." Seeing the beauty looking a bit tempted, the clerk immediately started chattering away with more introductions.
Maggi hesitated. Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but after glancing at the price tag again, she slowly closed her mouth and shook her head hesitantly. She placed the phone back on the counter.
Johny understood at a glance.
He stepped forward and pulled out his bank card.
"Alright. Please ring up one for us... no... make it two."
