"Sister, what are you going to buy?"
After dinner, Adi asked her boss Guang Xianglan to accompany her to go out to the night market, Xianglan asked. During the day, they took Adi to Baiyun Mountain. It was economical and affordable to spend a few yuan for a whole day.
"It's okay, just buy whatever you like." Adi said with a smile. After climbing the mountain all day, she had long wanted to go shopping.
The boss Guang also came over and said: "There are many two-yuan stores in Guangfu now. You can choose one for two yuan. Xianglan and I will take you shopping later?"
Adi shook her head and said with a smile: "No, I want to go to Jingcheng Road and Huanshi Road. There are many big department stores there. I also want to see the World Trade Center and Tianhe City. Listen. Said there are many brands to buy.”
The bosses Guang and Xianglan were both stunned, and asked with wide eyes: "Huh? Do you want to buy a brand?"
Adi was also stunned by their shocked looks, "Yes. "She didn't understand why they were so surprised when she wanted to buy a brand.
"Adi, those are big companies, and the things are very high-end and expensive." The boss said with an embarrassed expression. He always thought that Adi was still as poor as before and had no money. of. If she really went to those places to buy things, she couldn't afford it herself, and she wasn't willing to pay for it herself.
But Adi said meaningfully: "Money is not the problem, the most important thing is that I want to see the market." She thought for a while, and then said: "I won't say so much, time is also It’s getting late, let’s leave quickly, shall we?”
The boss Guangzheng was about to nod in agreement, but Xianglan held him back, and then said to Adi: “I’m sorry, sister, I suddenly remembered that there is still time in the evening. I made an appointment with Aguang to talk about the hotel. How about we go shopping another day?”
The boss just looked at Xianglan and knew that she didn't want to go by herself to avoid having to pay later, so he also fell silent. Adi smiled understandingly and said: "It's okay, it's okay. If you have something to do, just go and get busy. I can go by myself. It's a taxi ride back and forth anyway, so you won't get lost."
"Okay, you do your own thing. That’s it.” She picked up her handbag and went out. She walked around for more than three hours after going out, and did not return to Kang's house until around 10 p.m.
After everyone who was watching TV greeted A Di, the second brother asked curiously: "Sister Di, after visiting Guangfu for a night, what do you think of our Guangfu?"
“It’s so beautiful, even more beautiful than a few years ago.” Adi sat on the sofa and said, “This time I go out at night and the feeling is very different from a few years ago. The night view is particularly beautiful.”< br>
Big Brother Guang’s focus was different from everyone else’s. He asked: “Adi, have you been to Guangfu a few years ago? Why don’t you come to me?”
A Di waved her hand and explained: "No, I was watching TV. This is my first time coming to Guangfu." The boss Guang changed his expression and laughed, and A Di sighed again: " To be honest, if it hadn’t been for the taxi, I really wouldn’t have come back. Guangfu is too big.”
The second sister-in-law saw that she came back empty-handed and asked, “Sister Di, you have been shopping for so long.” Didn’t you buy anything?”
Adi nodded and said, “Yes, I didn’t buy anything, but I took a fancy to a camera. That camera.” As she was talking, the boss just started shooting. Duan said: "Wait a minute, Adi, have you bought it?"
"No." Adi shook his head.
“It’s a good thing you didn’t buy it, otherwise it would have been a waste of money.” The boss breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “I have two of those things.” Everyone looked at them in surprise. Looking at the boss, he continued: "What are your expressions? Do you think you bosses have no property? Adi, wait for me, I will give you one."
Adi was stunned when she saw the boss Guang walking back to the room, "Give it to me?"
Everyone saw that the boss Guang had returned to the room, and they all looked at Xianglan with confusion. Xianglan herself was also confused, "Don't look at me, I don't know anything."
The price of cameras is not affordable these days. Entry-level models cost three to four thousand yuan, which is quasi-professional. Models even cost tens of thousands of yuan. That's why everyone was so surprised when the boss just said that he had two cameras. This thing is not something that can be afforded casually.
“Fortunately, I asked you just now, otherwise I would have bought the same thing again.” The boss walked out of the room with a camera, handed it to Adi and said, “This camera is old. Yes, but it’s quite useful. Just think of it as a gift from me.”
Adi couldn’t help but laugh when she looked at the camera in Boss Guang’s hand. "Ah Guang, you are mistaken. I don't want these, I want a digital camera." A Di said.
Everyone laughed, and Xianglan said helplessly: "I find it strange. They are clearly talking about cameras, but why do you think they are cameras? I thought you bought two cameras when you came back." I know.”
“It’s not a camera?” Boss Guang said awkwardly. "You're so kind, boss. If you use this point-and-shoot camera as a toy for Tianxiu, Tianxiu won't play with it." The second guy also joked with a smile. The boss was unconvinced, "What? I just heard her say she wanted to buy a camera."
"I already have two cameras like this in my house. , I want to buy a 1 million pixel picture-in-picture camera." Adi waved his hand and said to the boss Guang: "I just saw a Canon DC10 in Tianhe City. I heard it is a new one. , the technology is very advanced.”
The second guy laughed softly in the boss’s ear. This time he was not just bleeding, but vomiting blood. Boss Guang was also a little worried. He quickly said to Adi: "Actually, the camera you mentioned is not for sale. Tianhe City is just displaying it and not selling it."
"Isn't it? I saw that the one on top had a price tag on it." Adi recalled it in her mind and said, "It's not expensive, it's only about five thousand yuan."
< br>"You must have read it wrong. The price listed above is in US dollars, which is equivalent to 40,000 yuan." The second sister-in-law deliberately exaggerated and said, "It's useless to buy such expensive things."
Adi frowned, she didn’t think she was wrong. But she still followed the second sister-in-law's words and asked: "Where can I buy it cheaply?"
"Gang City, there are cheap ones in Hong Kong City." The boss Guang said smartly, Adi Her eyes lit up and she was about to speak, but Xianglan pulled the boss Guang over and whispered, "What if she wants us to accompany her to Hong Kong City?"
The boss Guang was shocked. He turned around hurriedly and said: "Adi, the problem is that you need to use Hong Kong dollars to buy things in Hong Kong City, and we don't have that many Hong Kong dollars."
"Hong Kong dollars?" Adi thought thoughtfully.
At this time, the landline in the living room rang. The boss didn’t want to continue talking about the camera, so he took the initiative to answer the phone, "Hello? Who are you looking for? Looking for the boss? We don’t have one at home. Boss, you dialed the wrong number." Then he hung up.
"Why not? There are not many other things in our family, but there are many bosses." The second brother is right. He himself is the general manager of the tea restaurant, and Sachiko is the general manager of the confinement center. My sister-in-law is the deputy general manager of the clothing company, and Azu is the president of the film and television company. All four of them can be called bosses.
"Aguang, who are you looking for?" Mom also asked. The boss just shook his head and said: "He said he was looking for the boss. I thought, how could there be a boss in our family? They are all named Kang, including Lao Kang. So I hung up, and I didn't know he was looking for him. Who?”
Everyone rolled their eyes speechlessly when they heard this.
"Ring, ring, ring." At this time, another ringing sound came from the handbag Adi placed next to the phone. The boss took the handbag and handed it to Adi and said: "Adi, why did you bring the alarm clock with you when you came to Guangfu? Here we come." Kang Qirui couldn't stand it at all, laughing until tears came out.
"Sorry, maybe my phone rang." Adi opened the zipper of her handbag. Sure enough, someone called her. She stood up and said, "Sorry, I'll go in and pick it up first." Let’s call her and chat slowly.”
After she entered the room, the mother sighed: “Adi is really powerful, and she also has a mobile phone.” According to statistics from the Ministry of Information Industry, 2005. In 2018, my country's mobile phone penetration rate was 25 mobile phones per 100 people, exceeding the world average for the first time. And these 25 mobile phones are not all mobile phones, but also include many people who use PHS. Therefore, owning a mobile phone in this year is still considered a status symbol.
Even the Kang family, where almost everyone has a mobile phone, dare not use their mobile phone to make calls. Most of the time they use the landline at home because mobile phone calls are too expensive. This is similar to the situation where maintaining a car will be more of a burden than buying one in 20 years, so everyone is quite surprised that Adi owns a mobile phone.
The boss was just puzzled. He didn’t want to believe that Adi was a rich man. The second brother pointed at the big brother Guang and said: "Big brother, I found that your recent performance is much better. Stop acting. Let me ask you, did you give Adi her mobile phone?"
"Me?" The boss was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that he could still doubt himself. But Xianglan also agreed with the second brother's statement, "Of course he gave it to me. Didn't Aguang mishear before and thought Adi had cancer and sent two thousand yuan? Then since Adi is not sick, there is no need for the money. I took it to see a doctor. It was probably used to buy a mobile phone.”
Lao Dou nodded and thought that Xianglan’s idea was very possible. He sighed: "I really didn't expect that country people are so poor, but their consumption is so high and luxurious." Even the boss Guang felt that Xianglan's guess was right, and he couldn't help but said: "The words are true, but fortunately I am eye-catching. I haven’t spent a penny so far, hahaha.”
“Isn’t it because I reminded you?” Xianglan said.
Kang Qirui did not agree with everyone's views. He shook his head and said: "I think Sister Di is very good, not like what you said. And the boss hasn't seen her for more than 20 years, maybe Isn’t it true that people in Guangfu are changing from small things in one year to big changes in three years? Sister Di has been in the countryside for more than 20 years, so a big change is normal, right?”
Although everyone was thoughtful after hearing this, they still didn’t seem to believe it. Kang Qirui can also understand them. After all, the boss just heard that A Di was sick and sent him two thousand yuan, but now A Di has been showing up at Kang's house in full force for two days, saying that he wants to buy this, and that he wants to buy that. The two thousand yuan was never mentioned, let alone returned to the boss.
Therefore, everyone preconceptionally does not believe that Adi is rich, or in other words, everyone does not want to believe that Adi is a person who is obviously rich but does not pay back the money. (End of this chapter)
