25: Chapter 25 Today's shift was worth it!

The two walked out of the tea house, crossed the mirror-like marble corridor of The MixC, and walked straight into the official Apple store directly opposite.

On a weekday afternoon, the store was still crowded. Bright natural light streamed in through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows, shining on the natural wood display tables.

Zhang Qi didn't have the heart to play with the demo units like ordinary customers. He walked straight to the checkout counter and beckoned to a male sales assistant in a blue uniform.

"The latest iPhone Pro Max, I want the top-spec 1TB model."

Zhang Qi's tone was casual, as if he were buying cabbage at a vegetable market.

The sales assistant was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to nod, Zhang Qi's finger had already pointed to the display area nearby.

"That latest iPad Pro, and the MacBook Pro over there, I want the top-spec versions of those too."

"Oh, and get the Apple Watch and AirPods Max headphones, too. Let's make it a complete set."

"Pack it all up."

Sun Yiyao, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded.

She had originally thought that Zhang Qi brought her here to at most buy a new phone costing a little over ten thousand to disgust her cousin Sun Qianwen.

Who could have imagined that as soon as Zhang Qi opened his mouth, he directly picked out all the flagship products in the Apple store.

Hearing this, the professional smile on the sales assistant's face instantly turned into ecstasy, and he ran into the warehouse to get the stock with nimble hands and feet.

In less than ten minutes, several white packaging boxes printed with the huge Apple logo were neatly stacked on the checkout counter.

"Sir, the total price for these products you have selected is 42,995 yuan. How would you like to pay?"

The sales assistant's voice was filled with irrepressible excitement.

"Scan the code."

Zhang Qi took out his phone, brought up the payment code, and handed it over.

Beep.

A crisp electronic prompt sounded, and the payment was successful.

Zhang Qi took back his phone and waited silently in his heart for two seconds.

His mind was quiet; that familiar, beautiful mechanical voice did not sound as promised.

Subsequently, the phone vibrated, and a bank deduction text message popped up on the screen.

"Your savings account ending in 9527 spent 42,995.00 RMB at 15:24, with a current balance of 824,640.50 RMB."

Looking at the balance that had truly decreased, a knowing arc curled up at the corner of Zhang Qi's mouth.

The system's judgment was indeed strictly outrageous.

This forty-something thousand yuan was spent for Sun Yiyao and did not fall under the category of "spending for oneself," so naturally, it could not trigger the double cashback.

This was purely out of his own pocket.

But Zhang Qi didn't feel a shred of heartache.

He now had over eight hundred thousand in his card, and he could still frantically farm rebates every day by spending money on himself. To him, this forty-something thousand didn't even count as a drop in the bucket.

People without money trade their dignity for cash, while the rich trade money for a good mood.

Spending a mere forty thousand to make himself feel good.

For him right now, it was an absolute steal!

Zhang Qi turned his head and looked at Sun Yiyao standing beside him.

Sun Yiyao was currently staring fixedly at the pile of packaging boxes on the table like a small mountain, not even blinking.

She was completely stunned.

Over forty thousand.

Just now at the men's clothing store and the leather goods store, although Zhang Qi had spent hundreds of thousands without blinking, that money was all spent on Zhang Qi himself.

She was just a spectator; apart from being shocked, she hadn't received any substantial benefits.

But now it was different.

This real money of over forty thousand was genuinely spent on her.

Working at the wine shop, how much wine would she have to sell to earn this forty-something thousand?

This casual sentence from Zhang Qi was directly equivalent to half a year of her salary.

This dizzying feeling of being directly hit by money and wrapped in absolute wealth made Sun Yiyao's breathing become a bit rapid, and the stunning fullness on her chest heaved violently.

She looked up, and in the eyes she used to look at Zhang Qi, there was no longer the initial entanglement and hesitation; replaced by a nearly fanatical worship.

She had now completely figured it out.

Zhang Qi had definitely made a huge fortune, and the kind that was bottomless.

As long as she clung tightly to this big thigh, even if Zhang Qi only leaked a little residue from his fingers, it would be enough for her to enjoy for the rest of her life.

Thinking of this, a sense of absurd gratitude suddenly arose in Sun Yiyao's heart.

She really had to thank her cousin Sun Qianwen.

If it weren't for her cousin's WeChat moment, Zhang Qi might not have spent money on her.

As for the matter of posting to WeChat Moments to make it official, the current Sun Yiyao was a hundred percent willing.

She only hoped that when her cousin saw the WeChat moment, her blood pressure could stay stable, and she wouldn't just get so angry that she ended up in the hospital in one breath.

"Brother Qi."

Sun Yiyao took the initiative to step forward and very naturally reached out to pick up those heavy shopping bags.

She raised that exquisite and charming face, her moist peach blossom eyes filled with lingering affection, and her voice was so sweet it could drip water.

"Then I'll go over to the tea house to take photos and edit the caption."

Zhang Qi looked at her obedient and sensible appearance and nodded with satisfaction.

"Go ahead, I happen to need to change my phone too, I'll go stroll around over there."

Zhang Qi pointed to the mobile phone zone at the other end of the mall.

The crappy phone he was currently using was a thousand-yuan phone bought three years ago, and the paint on the edges of the screen was worn off.

Before, he couldn't bear to change it, but now that he had to spend money on himself to farm rebates, he had to arrange the best.

Apple was still too cheap. Among mass-produced phones, the most expensive one currently should be Huawei's triple-foldable, so he planned to go stroll around the Huawei side.

"Alright Brother Qi, I'll wait for you at the tea house once I'm done."

Sun Yiyao replied happily, hugging that pile of complete Apple set, twisting her graceful waist, and walking towards the tea house in her high heels with a da da da sound.

That back view exuded a sense of triumphant joy.

Zhang Qi withdrew his gaze, hands in his trouser pockets, and strolled towards the Huawei flagship store at the other end of the mall.

He walked straight to the most conspicuous display stand.

On the stand was the currently hottest Huawei triple-foldable screen phone on the market.

"Do you have this triple-foldable in stock?"

Zhang Qi pointed to the demo unit under the glass cover and looked at a female sales assistant nearby.

"We have stock, sir, but it's in the warehouse. If you need it, I'll go to the warehouse now." The female sales assistant looked at Zhang Qi's demeanor and didn't dare to underestimate him.

"Okay, go get it."

Zhang Qi nodded.

In less than two minutes, a beautifully packaged triple-foldable screen phone was placed squarely in front of Zhang Qi.

The price tag was 23,999.

Zhang Qi looked at this slightly thick machine and suddenly thought of a question.

Folding screens certainly looked cool, but what if he wasn't used to it?

Anyway, money was the least of his worries now, so he might as well buy a backup phone.

"Give me another Mate 80 RS Ultimate Design, I want the 16GB+1TB one."

Zhang Qi pointed to another display stand nearby.

The female sales assistant was overjoyed and immediately brought over another top-spec flagship bar phone priced at 12,999.

"Both together, calculate how much it is."

Zhang Qi directly took out his phone and brought up the payment code.

"Sir, it is a total of 36,998 yuan."

The female sales assistant took the scanner and respectfully scanned it.

Beep.

Payment successful.

Just at the moment the deduction was successful, the crisp mechanical voice in Zhang Qi's mind finally sounded again.

"[Ding! Detected that the host spent 36,998 yuan on himself, meeting the cashback conditions.]"

"[Double cashback triggered, 73,996 yuan has been transferred to the host's savings account ending in 9527. The source of funds is absolutely safe, please feel free to use it.]"

"[Current cumulative consumption amount: 819,105 yuan.]"

Following that, the old phone in his pocket vibrated.

Zhang Qi lowered his head and glanced at the text message that popped up on the screen.

"Your savings account ending in 9527 received 73,996.00 RMB, with a current balance of 861,638.50 RMB."

Looking at the numbers rising and jumping in his account again, Zhang Qi couldn't help but be happy in his heart.

Just now he spent over forty thousand on the complete Apple set for Sun Yiyao.

As a result, he turned around and bought two phones for himself, and the money came back.

This was the charm of the system.

As long as I keep spending money on myself, my money will never run out.

This feeling was simply addictive.

The store service was very good, proactively helping Zhang Qi take the SIM card out of his old phone and inserting it into the brand-new triple-foldable screen phone.

Zhang Qi threw the old phone directly into the store's trash can along with the packaging box.

Carrying the shopping bag containing the other bar phone, Zhang Qi walked out of the Huawei flagship store in a pleasant mood.

He strolled all the way back to the elegant tea house from earlier.

Just as he lifted the curtain and walked in, Zhang Qi saw Sun Yiyao sitting at the booth.

The pot of 3,600 Da Hong Pao on the table was still emitting faint heat.

Sun Yiyao had already unpacked all the boxes of the complete Apple set.

The brand-new phone, tablet, laptop, watch, and headphones were arranged in an orderly manner on the huanghuali tea table.

She was holding her old phone, constantly adjusting the angle, taking photos like crazy.

Seeing Zhang Qi walk over, Sun Yiyao's eyes lit up suddenly, and she quickly put down the things in her hand and greeted him.

Her charming face was flushed with a moving blush due to excitement.

"Brother Qi, you're back."

Sun Yiyao leaned close to Zhang Qi, and a faint scent of perfume wafted into Zhang Qi's nostrils.

She picked up her old phone and handed it to Zhang Qi like she was presenting a treasure.

"Brother Qi, I've taken the photos and edited the caption, do you think this is okay?"

Zhang Qi sat down on the chair and took the phone to take a look.

On the screen was the WeChat Moments interface that had been edited but not yet posted.

The photo was taken very cleverly.

In the center of the frame was the complete Apple set exuding the smell of money.

In the background, the pot of premium Da Hong Pao priced at 3,600 and the exquisite tea set were faintly visible, exuding a cold, high-end vibe.

"It feels so good to be pampered like a little girl."

"I just casually mentioned that I wanted to change my phone, and dear Brother Qi arranged the whole complete set directly."

"It turns out that a real mutual devotion isn't about weighing pros and cons, but unconditional favoritism."

"The rest of my life is all you!"

This passage, even the punctuation marks, exuded a precise, green-tea style hit.

It not only perfectly replicated the sentence structure of the WeChat moment Sun Qianwen just posted, but also achieved a comprehensive dimensional strike in terms of spectacle and financial power.

Your new boyfriend sends an Apple phone and you dare to call it a mutual devotion.

My new boyfriend directly throws out a whole complete set; this is called unconditional favoritism.

Especially since Zhang Qi's name was in the caption.

This was equivalent to slapping Sun Qianwen directly in the face.

Zhang Qi looked at this caption, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

He handed the phone back to Sun Yiyao, leaned back in the chair, and took a sip of the now warm Da Hong Pao.

"It's fine."

Zhang Qi spat out two words in a flat tone.

"Then let's take a photo together, we can post it after we take it."

Sun Yiyao took the phone and sat down beside Zhang Qi very naturally. Zhang Qi reached out his arm to put it around her, and she leaned into Zhang Qi's embrace.

Click!

A joint photo was fresh out of the oven.

Although it was just a casual snapshot, her beauty was divine and flawless. It looked good no matter how it was taken.

Although Zhang Qi looked slightly ordinary, with the blessing of luxury brands and a luxury watch, they looked like a talented couple.

"Then I'm posting it." Sun Yiyao said while inserting the photo into her WeChat Moments.

"Post it." Zhang Qi was still holding her soft, tender body, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up in an expectant arc.

Sun Yiyao took a deep breath, suppressed her wildly beating heart, and tapped heavily on the screen with her fair fingers.

Sent successfully!

Beside them, the waiter who had finished the work but was still lingering, although keeping her head down, had her ears pricked up to listen to the conversation between the two.

Let alone the parties involved, Zhang Qi and Sun Yiyao.

Even she, the bystander waiter, felt her heart rate accelerate.

They really posted it!

Today's shift was worth it!!
