Chapter 27 Brother Bing’s Equipment
Xu Chen didn't know what Feng Qingqing was thinking. He was just completing the tasks assigned by his father and trying his best to take care of this "leader's daughter."
The two of them ate casually, and Xu Chen asked about their afternoon schedule.
Feng Qingqing's previous text message had already defined the nature of this meeting.
"Just go through the motions and treat yourself as a friend..."
Overall, Xu Chen is not so stressed.
"My dad said that you need me to discuss studying with you. Then we can go to the reading room later." Xu Chen said.
"Okay..." Feng Qingqing replied shyly while eating a piece of tiramisu.
"Of course it's rare for us to spend weekends. If you want to go out and play, you can. We just don't tell your parents!"
"Really?" Feng Qingqing suddenly looked excited.
Xu Chen smiled and said:
"We can go shopping and have fun. I just want to buy something.
If you have time later, you can also go to the Internet cafe to surf the Internet together. ”
Feng Qingqing blinked:
"Can I go to an Internet cafe? Isn't that only for bad boys?"
"..."
Xu Chen took a sip of Coke and smiled honestly.
It seems that Feng Qingqing is usually very strictly controlled by her parents and rarely goes to Internet cafes.
In this era, Internet cafes have only been around for a few years. Indeed, the first group of children to go online are defined by many parents as "bad kids."
At this time, the Internet environment did not yet have the "Operation Qingming" of later generations, and there was a lot of unhealthy content.
In a certain sense, it has indeed "poisoned" many young boys and girls who have just entered society.
Of course, overall, we still help this generation of teenagers to open the door to the new world earlier...
"Your boyfriend didn't take you to an Internet cafe?" Xu Chen asked jokingly.
Feng Qingqing was stunned, a little embarrassed, lowered her head and ate the cake again.
In fact, she doesn't have an official boyfriend yet.
As she just told her best friend, she was afraid that Xu Chen would get entangled with her like the boys she had met before.
Feng Qingqing's eyes were very high, and she looked down on the boys in this small county.
Seeing Xu Chen himself, Feng Qingqing was still a little surprised.
In addition to being tall and handsome, he also seems to be good at taking care of others.
It is indeed very different from the "small town boys" I have seen before.
Feng Qingqing drank orange juice and said:
"You have a girlfriend too?"
Xu Chen smiled and replied:
"I'm just like you."
……
After eating, Xu Chen took Feng Qingqing to go shopping.
He said he was accompanying Feng Qingqing, but in fact it was Xu Chen who wanted to go shopping on his own.
He was still thinking about buying shoes for Xie Bingran.
The township is not prosperous, there is only one commercial street in the center of the town, and it is full of copycat brands.
In order to attract business, various shops played noisy music through loudspeakers.
These are also the popular songs and stars in the county and town during this era.
Daolang, Oath, Huanzi, Zheng Yuan...
This is the era of "CRBT", and operators can make a lot of money from this business alone.
It is a short commercial street with densely packed shops.
Smith Barney, Jeanswest, and Yichun are already considered "high-end" brands here.
As for genuine Nike and Adidas, in the eyes of teenagers of this era, they are serious international brands.
Xu Chen followed Feng Qingqing and walked around "Meibang".
Feng Qingqing was wandering around the women's clothing area, choosing skirts and jackets one after another, and she was very happy.
Xu Chen followed silently, cooperating to get drinks and clothes. Brands like Meibang were packaged as "domestic products" in later generations.
But now in the 2000s, these brands still have a high "IQ tax" and deliberately make themselves look like foreign brands.
In other words, they are fooling the boys and girls in the county. The premium quality and brand cannot actually support the price.
The cost-effectiveness of these brands will not be apparent until more than ten years.
Feng Qingqing tried a few items but had no intention of buying them.
Naturally, Xu Chen would not offer to pay the bill. After all, Feng Qingqing "already has a boyfriend." Xu Chen's offer to pay would be overreaching and abrupt.
These "senses of boundaries" still need to be there.
When the two of them walked to Nike's door, Xu Chen paused for a moment.
"I need to buy a pair of shoes to give to someone, please wait for me."
Feng Qingqing was a little surprised:
"You want to give Nike as a gift. It's quite luxurious. Isn't it for your girlfriend?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
In a small town in the early 2000s, giving people Nike shoes was indeed a "luxury".
Xu Chen smiled, turned around and entered the Nike store.
In this era, domestic brands of running shoes have not yet developed. If you want to buy professional running shoes, you still need to go to Nike or Adidas.
There seem to be ASICS, Mizuno, etc., but there are no official stores in this small town.
Xu Chen entered the store and looked around.
He didn’t know much about running shoes, so he went straight to the store clerk.
"We need more professional running shoes, for girls."
"Is it long-distance running or sprinting? Professional running shoes can be divided into two categories: cushioning and racing."
Xu Chen thought for a while: "That should be for racing."
"If you are racing, it depends on whether you are going to the track. If you are going to compete on the track, it is best to just buy spikes."
Xu Chen hesitated and said:
“No need for spikes yet, it’s best to use racing shoes that you can wear every day.”
He remembered Xie Bingran whom he had seen on TV in his previous life, and said again:
"I want red, really red."
Feng Qingqing followed behind, looking curious.
"Your girlfriend, does she practice sports?"
Xu Chen didn't know how to explain it, so he just smiled.
After a while, the clerk brought some pairs of running shoes.
"These three pairs are relatively good racing running shoes, and they are all the latest models."
Xu Chen looked at them one by one, but he couldn't tell why.
In this era, there seems to be no black technology for running shoes such as "carbon plates", but when you hold the running shoes in your hand, they are indeed breathable and light, and you can tell that they are good things at first glance.
If you can't tell the difference between good and bad, you can only judge it based on the price.
"How much do they cost?"
“This pair is a basic model, 489.
These two pairs are newly developed, lighter, thinner and have better foundation. They are 679 and 899 respectively. ”
Xu Chen didn't feel much. After all, the better running shoes in his previous life were also priced at this price.
As for giving it to the future Asian champion, Xu Chen wouldn't even think it was expensive.
What's more, this pair of running shoes is to be endorsed by Xie Bingran, which is worth at least hundreds of millions!
In Xu Chen's hands, he had several thousand dollars that his father had given him in the morning, and his budget was completely sufficient.
Feng Qingqing on the side was a little dumbfounded.
She never expected that a pair of running shoes would be so expensive.
Although she thinks highly of herself, after all, her family is just a civil servant in a rural town.
And this is 2006...
A pair of running shoes can easily cost 500 yuan, which is simply unbelievable to high school students in the county.
Feng Qingqing lowered her head and glanced at the light white sneakers under her feet. They seemed to only cost more than a hundred yuan, and she felt a little unsatisfied.
The title of the book has been changed:
"Rebirth: My dad is too persuasive"
