After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved-Chapter 25 - My heart melts when she calls me brother

Chapter 25: Chapter 25 My heart melts when she calls me brother

Chapter 25 -25 My heart melts when she calls me brother

Beijing is the political center and capital of China, while Jiang City is its economic center. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that every inch of land is worth its weight in gold, and it’s a place where people live in drunken luxury.

Lu Youye took Lu Sheng to a shopping mall called Xingyue, the largest shopping center in Jiang City’s commercial district. The consumption there is quite high, with even the lower-tier luxury brands starting at several thousand yuan.

Lu Jingyan had told Lu Youye to buy Lu Sheng a smartphone first, so they headed to the smartphone section right away.

As soon as they entered, the salesperson welcomed them warmly.

“Are you two here to buy a smartphone? Whatever you need, just let me know and I can help you pick one out.”

“This is for her,” Lu Youye said casually, pointing at Lu Sheng, “Ask her what she likes.”

Salespeople in malls are sharp, and they could tell from Lu Youye’s demeanor and casual attitude that this was a person who definitely wasn’t short on cash.

“Oh, I see,” the salesperson immediately turned to Lu Sheng, “In that case, miss, what brand of phone would you like, and which features are you most concerned with?”

Lu Sheng thought for a moment: “As long as it can make calls, that’s fine.”

“Uh…”

The salesperson was speechless.

Usually, girls of this age care about whether the phone is pretty and takes good photos, but this young girl just wants to make calls.

That requirement was way too low—The salesperson, who was prepared to pitch the most expensive model, was suddenly at a loss for words.

“Aren’t all phones able to make calls,” said Lu Youye after glancing at Lu Sheng, “then just pick the model that most girls like and wrap it up for me.”

“Of course, sir.” The salesperson’s eyes brightened upon hearing this.

As expected, he really didn’t care about the price—not even asking how much it was.

So tentatively, the salesperson said, “As it happens, sir, our store just got a new batch of the latest ZE series smartphones, and the newly released pink and white color is extremely popular among girls.”

“The latest ZE model is only available in stock at our store, and this color option is in severe shortage throughout the entire city. In fact, we are the only ones in Jiang City with the last piece in stock. What do you think about choosing this one?”

ZE is currently the most high-end smartphone brand globally, and every new series launch starts at ten thousand yuan for the lowest configuration. Despite this, they’re always in high demand, selling out almost as soon as they’re released.

While speaking, the salesperson brought over a pink and white ZE phone—its girly, cute colors combined with a high-quality glass body made it very delicate and pretty, a good fit for girls.

“Not bad,” said Lu Youye looking towards Lu Sheng, “Do you like it?”

Lu Sheng wasn’t really concerned about what the phone looked like; as long as it met her basic needs, she was fine. So she nodded, “Then let’s go with this one.”

Seeing the goal was reached, the salesperson hardly containing her joy, said, “However, sir, because this phone is now in high demand and short supply in the market, our store manager has decided to reserve it for VIP customers.”

“This smartphone is priced at 29,999. If you’re not one of our store’s VIPs, you could apply for a membership card now with a precharge of two hundred thousand, and we’ll deduct the cost of the phone directly from the card later.”

Thirty thousand for a phone?

Isn’t that daylight robbery?

Lu Sheng was about to say she didn’t want this phone, any other would do, but Lu Youye had already agreed smoothly, “Okay, where do I apply for the card?”

“Certainly, sir,” the salesperson grinned ear to ear, “You can have this young lady wait here in the store, and you can follow me to the service counter on the first floor to proceed.”

“Wait here for me,” Lu Youye said to Lu Sheng, unable to resist ruffling her hair, and added in a low voice, “Don’t wander off, otherwise I’ll have to find you if you get lost.”

Lu Sheng had already figured out that Lu Youye was a classic case of a ‘sister complex.’

He liked the feeling of being depended on and adored.

So she nodded and said softly and obediently, “Okay~ come back soon, brother.”

Lu Youye’s ears turned red in an instant.

Ahhh.

How could his little sister be so adorable?

Just hearing her call him ‘brother’ could melt his heart.

Right after Lu Youye left with the salesperson, a young girl in her twenties, wearing a name tag of a trainee salesperson, approached Lu Sheng, her face full of envy.

“Sister, your boyfriend is so good to you, recharging a card for two hundred thousand without batting an eye, and he’s also so tall and handsome.”

She mistook Lu Youye for her boyfriend, probably because they were both wearing the same branded black T-shirt and shorts, which she assumed were couple outfits.

But Lu Sheng couldn’t be bothered to explain to a stranger, so she just smiled politely and then took out her old Nokia to message Li Muchen.

[I’m Lu Sheng, how does your leg feel?]

[Did you try to get up and walk around, can you stand up now?]

Lu Sheng was busy typing the message when she heard a girl who had just entered the store asking the salesperson who had spoken to her earlier.

“I called before I came, and there was still one last pink and white ZE phone available, right?”

This girl’s voice sounded rather domineering.

“I want that phone, go wrap it up for me.”

“Ah, I’m sorry, miss, but just a few minutes before you arrived, that phone was already purchased by another customer. Would you like to take a look at some other models?”

“What?” The girl was clearly annoyed, “I already called you to reserve the phone for me, why didn’t you hold it?”

“I’m sorry, miss,” the young trainee salesperson apologized, “Our store doesn’t support reservations over the phone, we only honor in-store purchases.”

The girl took a deep breath, clearly frustrated, and said as if repressing anger, “So who bought that phone? Are they far gone?”

“Uh, that young lady is still in the store, but her boyfriend has already gone to recharge the card, so I’m really sorry…”

While they were chatting, Lu Sheng had been focusing on typing and hadn’t been paying any attention to their conversation.

But the next second, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly spoke from behind her: “…Lu Sheng? Is that really you!”

Someone she knows?

Lu Sheng frowned slightly and looked up.

The girl in front of her looked about her age but was dressed very maturely, staring at her with wide eyes.

Wearing a DIOR dress and carrying a Chanel chain bag, even her earrings showcased the conspicuous Chanel LOGO. Her whole outfit might cost around a hundred thousand but gave off the aura of nouveau riche pretense.

She didn’t seem like some rich heiress, but rather like a tycoon’s daughter.

Lu Sheng swiftly searched her mind and found that indeed, she did know this girl. Or rather, they were more than just acquainted.
