Chapter 397 Pretending to be poor was just to test you.
Zhou Chen returned to his dorm and searched carefully again, but still couldn't find anything.
He couldn't recall ever taking the headphones out.
But now the headphones are gone.
I only sent out a box.
Because of this so-called surprise gift, Zhou Chen has already lost face twice in front of Jiang He.
But since he had already shown the box to Jiang He, he had no choice but to actually give her a pair of headphones.
Even if I have to buy one, I have to buy one.
Zhou Chen happened to have no classes the next morning.
Then just go to the store and buy a new one.
There is a shopping mall near the school.
It used to only take ten minutes or so.
These headphones are inexpensive to buy, unlike mobile phones which are expensive.
His part-time job earnings were enough to buy things.
It's normal that Zhou Chen can't find these headphones.
Because Jiang He took the headphones.
Things that have disappeared cannot be found.
The next day, Zhou Chen went to the mall to buy headphones.
First, I went to Zhou's shop.
The shop assistants naturally didn't recognize Zhou Chen, the young master of the Zhou family.
Zhou Chen looked at the headphones and saw that they cost a hundred yuan. He really couldn't understand what was so special about them and why they were so expensive.
Is it just because of the Zhou family brand?
It's just a pair of headphones; if Zhou's headphones work, other brands should work too.
I was originally thinking of buying an original one, since the sound quality would be better.
Jiang He couldn't tell the difference between sound quality and other audio quality.
He really couldn't bear to spend 100 yuan on a pair of headphones.
This will cost him his own money.
This is what he earned through hard work.
He would have to work part-time for several hours to earn 100 yuan.
If he doesn't have to pay for it himself, then he can just swipe his card anywhere.
But now it's different; he doesn't want to take that hundred-yuan bill out of his pocket.
Zhou Chen left the Zhou family compound.
After walking a few more shops, I saw the deep sea.
This deep-sea thing seems to be quite popular lately; he hears that name all the time.
I heard some of these things during a previous meeting.
This brand seems to be quite affordable.
Zhou Chen walked towards the deep sea.
I saw headphones displayed in the shop window right outside the store, priced at twenty yuan.
Twenty yuan, much cheaper than Zhou's.
Then I'll buy this one.
As soon as Zhou Chen stepped into the store, he heard a familiar voice.
He saw Jiang He.
Jiang He and her roommate are looking at their phones.
Jiang He also saw Zhou Chen.
"Zhou Chen, what are you doing here?"
Jiang He greeted Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen naturally couldn't tell Jiang He that he was there to buy headphones.
"Oh, I didn't have any classes this morning, so I thought I'd come and see if there were any part-time jobs around here."
And you? What are you doing here?
"I don't have any classes this morning either."
I also came here to look for part-time jobs, and Zhao Hui said she wanted to buy a new phone, so we came together.
"Buy a new phone? Why not buy a Zhou's? Didn't Zhou's just release a new phone? It seems to take pretty good pictures."
Zhao Hui was the richest in Jiang He's dorm. She used to use a phone from Zhou's company, which Zhou Chen recognized at a glance.
Why don't our loyal customers continue to buy new products?
Zhao Hui also came over.
"Zhou Chen, you know about Zhou's mobile phones too?"
"Ah, no, I don't know. I just went over there and heard a salesperson talking about how great the camera is on the new phone, so I listened for a bit."
Zhao Hui, isn't this Zhou's phone? Why didn't you continue using Zhou's when you got a new one?
"It seems you really don't understand."
But look at this price.
What are the prices at Zhou's place?
How deep is this ocean?
I've tried both phones.
These deep-sea photos are no less impressive than Zhou's.
The price difference is double.
If the Zhou family is treating me like a sucker, then I can't just let them take advantage of me.
We had no choice but to say goodbye to the Zhou family.
I've decided to buy the Deepsea one.
The store clerk brought the new machine from the warehouse, and Zhao Hui went over to inspect it.
"Zhou Chen, are you going to keep looking here? Zhao Hui and I will go back together later. I'll probably go straight to Sister Zhu's shop later."
"Oh, then you wait for Zhao Hui, I'll go first."
Zhou Chen checked the time; he still needed to rush back to his part-time job.
time is limited.
If he waits until Jiang He and Zhao Hui leave before buying headphones, it might be too late.
Although Sister Zhu would agree to let me take leave, I would lose sixteen yuan for every hour I missed.
Considering that a pair of headphones costs 100 yuan, Zhou Chen felt he couldn't afford to lose those 16 yuan.
Zhou Chen, of course, did not choose to return to the Zhou family's shop.
One reason is that it's easy for Jiang He to see it.
If Jiang He sees him spending 100 yuan on headphones, how will he explain it?
I forgot about the surprise gift, so I'm buying it today?
Is this how a boyfriend should behave?
You just bought a pair of headphones for 100 yuan without thinking?
Is this the kind of spending a student from a poor family should have?
Secondly, Zhou Chen was reluctant to part with the 100 yuan.
He felt that these headphones didn't even deserve a hundred yuan.
Especially after seeing that the price of deep-sea seafood was only twenty yuan.
Zhou Chen agreed with Zhao Hui; the Zhou family was treating their customers like suckers.
He wouldn't be taken advantage of like that.
Zhou Chen returned to school.
I bought headphones at the school supermarket.
Twenty-five yuan for a no-name brand.
But these are the only headphones available in the school supermarket.
There's nothing cheaper than this.
It has to be said that the food at school is relatively cheap, but other things are quite expensive.
It's nowhere near as cheap as the big supermarkets outside.
Even these no-name headphones are more expensive than Deepsea headphones.
Fortunately, it's still cheaper than Zhou's.
Zhou Chen had no time to regret it.
I grabbed my headphones and went to the store to start my part-time job.
I'll do a two-hour part-time job at noon to earn back the money for these headphones.
Zhou Chen handed the earphones to Jiang He.
Jiang He asked Zhou Chen why he wasn't wearing the clothes she had given him today, and why he was wearing tattered clothes instead.
"The clothes you gave me, I only realized after I got home that I had accidentally gotten them dirty."
It must have been from accidental splashing while eating the clay pot rice noodles.
I took it to be washed.
It's not dry yet; I'll wear it once it's dry.
"Okay, give it a try and see if it suits you."
If it suits you, I'll buy you another one.
These clothes are cheap, so buy a couple while you can, so you can have some to wash. Otherwise, you might not find these clothes again.
"No need, no need to buy any more. I have enough to wear, I really have enough."
I have a change of clothes, so I really don't need to.
Jiang He, don't waste this money.
Zhou Chen panicked when he heard that Jiang He wanted to buy him clothes.
He doesn't want these clothes; they'd be an eyesore even if given to him.
He also needs to ask Aunt Zhou to make him an exact replica.
Too much trouble.
At Zhou Chen's insistence, Jiang He finally gave up her plan to buy him another poisonous garment.
