10: Chapter 10 I'd be uncomfortable if I didn't suffer a loss.

Hearing Da Ya say this,

Tan Zhuoren was completely dumbfounded.

He wouldn't have imagined such a possibility in a million years.

But what Da Ya said actually made sense: "Holy crap!

What you're saying might actually be possible!

This device was originally priced at 11,999,

but the owner took a liking to my Miaoxin,

so he gave her a 10,000-yuan discount,

wanting to use this opportunity to get close to her!

Holy crap! Isn't he trying to steal my girl right in front of my face?!"

Da Ya patted Tan Zhuoren on the shoulder: "Brother,

you'd better watch out.

The guy directly gave Miaoxin a 10,000-yuan discount.

Do you really think you still have a chance?"

Tan Zhuoren lost his composure,

and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

This really was like having his home base stolen right in front of him!

He was just a poor student right now;

he certainly couldn't compete with a mobile phone shop owner.

He couldn't possibly produce 10,000 yuan!

Back then, buying this Ideal a8FE had taken him a whole summer of part-time jobs to save up enough money.

His goddess's phone had broken,

and he didn't have the ability to buy her a new one,

yet at this very moment, a generous phone shop owner had appeared...

Tan Zhuoren didn't even want to think about where the story would go from there.

He was almost on the verge of a breakdown.

He then remembered when he was eating with Lu Miaoxin earlier,

Lu Miaoxin kept saying how handsome the owner was and that he wouldn't lie to her.

She kept emphasizing how handsome the owner was,

which made him feel the possibility was even higher!

Could it be that Lu Miaoxin also had feelings for the owner?

Wouldn't that mean he had no chance at all?

At this moment, Tan Zhuoren was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Burning with anxiety, he asked: "Da Ya, what do you think I should do?

Isn't your nickname Zhuge Kongming?

Hurry up and give me a suggestion!"

Da Ya thought for a few seconds

and said: "This is just one possibility,

but it might not necessarily be the case.

How about we go to the phone shop and take a look?

If the owner really gave Lu Miaoxin such a big discount,

then you really are in big trouble.

Do you know where Lu Miaoxin bought the phone?"

Tan Zhuoren nodded repeatedly: "I know,

it's on the street just outside the school's west gate.

There are several phone shops on that street,

and I've already found out exactly which one it is,

because I was thinking about replacing my own crappy phone as well."

At the time, he had foolishly thought the phone actually sold for 1,999,

and was thinking of selling his own phone to switch to a xiaomi 4,

so he had asked for the shop's location clearly.

Da Ya said: "It just so happens there are no classes this afternoon,

so let's hurry up and go!

We'll go to that phone shop together

to meet that owner

and see if this phone really sells for 1,999,

or if it was a special discount he gave specifically to Lu Miaoxin.

If it's the latter,

then brother, your chances really aren't great.

Of course, it could also be the former,

but that possibility is just too small!

Because as you know,

these specs are quite top-tier.

Selling it for only 1,999,

I don't believe it anyway!"

The two young men hopped on their bicycles,

left through the west gate, and headed straight for that phone shop near the school.

Before they had even parked their bikes in front of the shop,

they saw a large poster hanging at the entrance,

listing the specific parameters of the phone,

which were clearly the parameters of the phone Lu Miaoxin had just bought.

The two of them looked it over from top to bottom with their heads tilted back,

still shocked by these specifications.

And when they saw the very end,

those few large, bright red numbers "1,999",

they couldn't help but look at each other in surprise.

"Crap! It really seems to be 1,999!

This phone is truly awesome!"

"Brother! It looks like it was the former case we guessed.

In that case, you still have a chance!"

Da Ya patted Tan Zhuoren on the shoulder.

Since they were already there,

and having confirmed the phone's selling price was indeed 1,999,

they weren't in a hurry to leave,

but instead wanted to go into the shop to experience it for themselves.

After parking their bicycles by the roadside,

they headed straight into the phone shop.

Seeing the owner resting on a lounge chair nearby,

Da Ya shouted out: "Owner, I'd like to ask if you still have that xiaomi 4 phone?"

It was noon right now,

and there weren't many customers.

Bai Jingqing had moved a lounge chair

and was lying there with his eyes closed, resting.

Hearing customers arrive,

he immediately opened his eyes

and sat up from the lounge chair.

"Welcome, you two!

You're looking for the xiaomi 4 phone,

I still have some here."

As he spoke, he took out several xiaomi 4 phones from the counter that had already been unboxed specifically for display,

handing them to the two of them for inspection.

As they took the phones,

Da Ya whispered to Tan Zhuoren: "Brother,

this owner really is very handsome!

If your girlfriend developed feelings for him,

I could actually understand it."

Tan Zhuoren smacked Da Ya on the head: "Get lost!

Didn't the sign at the door say so?

His phone sells for 1,999,

it's not at all that the owner is interested in my Miaoxin.

You're just making wild guesses here,

and you gave me quite a scare!

If you say another word, I'll tear your mouth off!"

Da Ya didn't dare speak anymore,

and the two of them focused intently on looking at the phones.

As expected, it was exactly the same as the phone Tan Zhuoren had seen Lu Miaoxin using,

with no cutting corners

and no downgrades.

Da Ya was also shocked.

After testing several options, he spoke up: "Owner,

this thing really sells for 1,999?"

Bai Jingqing nodded: "That's right, it sells for 1,999!

And there's no hidden manipulation,

no additional charges.

For just 1,999,

you can take a xiaomi 4 home!"

Da Ya was momentarily confused;

he hadn't expected such a magical thing to happen.

If this phone were sold by Ideal,

many people would scramble to buy it even at 11,999,

because the performance and various high-end components were truly top-tier.

But this owner was just too conscientious!

Such an awesome phone,

and it was actually being sold for only 1,999!

Bai Jingqing looked at the clothes of the two of them; they seemed to be university students,

so he asked: "Were you referred here by someone else to buy?"

Da Ya quickly said: "Yes, yes, yes.

A classmate of ours just bought one this morning.

We thought she'd been scammed,

feeling it was impossible to get these specs for this price,

so we also hurried over to take a look.

To our surprise, it was actually true!"

This was actually a pretty good line of thought!

Bai Jingqing immediately had an idea.

The chain reaction among these university students was very strong.

If one person bought it,

they were very likely to bring their other classmates to buy it as well.

So he said: "This phone is also considered a new product,

and it urgently needs to open up the market right now.

Can you two help me out?

If you can bring more friends to buy,

how about this: as long as each of you can bring ten people to buy a phone,

I'll give each of you one for free."

"What?"

Upon hearing these words,

both Tan Zhuoren and Da Ya were completely shocked,

their eyes widening like copper bells.

"Owner, you're losing too much this way.

Giving us one for free for every ten people...

this could likely sell for 11,999 on the market.

I think you're already losing a lot by selling it for 1,999,

and now you want to give them to us for free.

You're losing way too much!"

Bai Jingqing let out a sigh: "Sigh,

whether it's a loss or not,

why worry about it so much?

If you don't let me take a loss,

I'll actually feel bad!"
