Power and WealthChapter 32 – iPhone 4

Yansha Youyi Shopping City.

It was almost Autumn, and the shopping mall’s air conditionwas still blowing cold air. It was a bit chilly.

Many people were walking in and out of the mall. Qu Yunxuanwas wearing heels, and she almost fell when she tried to avoid a woman carryinga child. She grabbed onto Dong Xuebing’s arm. She continued to hold on to DongXuebing’s arm into the mall. Dong Xuebing was nervous. Aunt Xuan was holding onto him. He looked at her holding on to his arm and secretly peeped at her chest.

The first floor was mostly selling cosmetics and perfumes.The place was filled with sweet scent.

Both of them went upstairs and stop by the section sellingmen’s apparels.

Qu Yunxuan squeezed Dong Xuebing’s arm. “Xiao Bing, Auntsuggest that you should buy a suit. You will leave a good impression with yourleaders.”

Dong Xuebing nodded. “Okay. I will listen to you.” Having abeauty like Aunt Xuan shopping with him was more important than buyinganything.

A sales assistant walked over to serve them. She got asurprised look on her face when she saw Qu Yunxuan. Qu Yunxuan was toobeautiful. “Hi, what sort of suit are you looking for?” Dong Xuebing noticedthat the nearby sales assistants and customers were looking at their direction.They were all looking at Qu Yunxuan.

Qu Yunxuan started to choose the clothes for Dong Xuebing.“Do you have anything more casual?”

“Yes.” The sales assistant pointed to the back. “Over hereplease.”

Qu Yunxuan immediately spotted a beautiful design. “Thisshirt is not bad. Xiao Bing, come over here.” She picked up the shirt and placeit in front of Dong Xuebing. “Hmmm.... Quite nice.”

The sales assistant smiled: “Yes. I think this shirt suitsyour friend.”

Your friend?

Dong Xuebing was very sensitive to this word. In Beijing,people will associate “friend” as being in a relationship. For example, if DongXuebing were to introduce his girlfriend to others, he will say “This is myfriend.” It meant his girlfriend. It was the same as the others. For instances,“Oh, I heard that Xuebing have a new friend.”

Dong Xuebing starts to imagine things.

Suit, leather shoes, belt.

Long sleeve shirt, long pants, sports attire.

Dong Xuebing had bought a set of new presentable clothesselected by Qu Yunxuan. Of course, the whole set was not cheap.

Dong Xuebing saw the sales assistant packing all the clothesand shoes, he took out his wallet. “Where is the cashier?”

Qu Yunxuan tugged his arm and laughed. “Let’s go. I havealready paid when you are trying the clothes.”

“Ah?” Dong Xuebing gasped in surprised. “Aunt Xuan, how canyou pay for me? No. How much do all these cost? I will return you the money.”Aunt Xuan had been taking care of him by washing his clothes and cooking forhim. He was still thinking of getting her a gift since he had the money now.Instead, she bought the clothes for him.

Qu Yunxuan lifted her fist and said with a straight face:“If you say one more word, I will hit you. Let’s go.”

Dong Xuebing shut his mouth unwillingly and carried all theshopping bags. He followed Qu Yunxuan out of the mall. He was still feeling badfor letting her pay for the clothes. Oh yes. It was time to change thehandphone. The battery life was getting shorter and shorter, and the buttonswere not responding. This type of imitation phones was also quite embarrassing.Aunt Xuan was also using an old Nokia phone for almost 3 years. Yes. I will buyher a new phone too.

“Aunt Xuan. I am thinking of changing my handphone. Shall wego to the Electronic Mall to have a look?”

“Okay. There is a Suning not far ahead. Let’s go.”

The skies turned dark, and stars appeared.

200 meters away, Suning Electronics.

It was almost National Day, and there were lots of people inthe shop. The carpark in front of the shop was fully parked. The moment theystepped into the store, they saw rows of counters selling computers andhandphones. Around the corner, it was the home appliances section. It was alsofull of people. It seems that there was a promotion before the National Day.

Qu Yunxuan helped Dong Xuebing to carry 3 bags. “What brandof handphone are you buying?”

Dong Xuebing does not mind about the brand of handphone. Hewas more concern which brand of phone Qu Yunxuan likes. “What brand do youthink is good?”

“Nokia, Sony, Motorola, are all good brands.”

After walking one round in the handphone section of themall, Dong Xuebing saw iPhone 4 advertisement on a lightbox. This was thelatest model of Apple phone. A while before, it had been out of stock. Applefans had queue up since 4 am to buy this phone. Dong Xuebing had also heard QuYunxuan talking about this phone. She was also an iPhone fan. But because itwas too expensive, she could only envy others.

Dong Xuebing said. “iPhone 4 seems to be very popular.”

“Of course. The design and specs are outstanding. But it wastoo expensive.”

“You think it is nice?”

Qu Yunxuan laughed. “Of course, it’s nice. If not, why wouldso many buy it? I remember when iPhone 4 was launched in China, the prices hadreached more than 10,000 RMB per phone. Now, the prices had fallen. It is alsoabout 6,000 RMB. Haha. I just think that this phone is pretty. Wait for thelaunch of iPhone 5 and iPhone 4 prices will drop further. I will buy one then.I cannot afford it now.”

Dong Xuebing made his decision in his heart. “Go over andtake a look?”

“Okay. Taking a look will also not cost money. Hahaha.”Qu Yunxuan really likes this phone. She stoodin front of the counter and stared at the iPhone 4 on display. She even askedthe staff to show her a display set.

The staff was a young girl who was good with her words. “Sister,iPhone 4 currently has two colors. White and black. We are having a promotionfor our black color model. 16G for only 5,580 RMB. You are so pretty, and thisiPhone 4 really suits you.”

Qu Yunxuan looked at the display set and did not say a word.

“If you buy now, we will give you a screen protector and aleather casing. Also......” The sales girl could tell that Qu Yunxuan really likesthis phone and starts to recommend.

Qu Yunxuan was hesitating. She seems to be thinking aboutsomething. But she looked at the price tag again and shook her head.

Dong Xuebing stepped forward and said: “Okay. Give us 1set....... No..... 2 sets.”
