Chapter 42 Shopping

Yesterday, Liu Ye gave me 50,000 yuan in commission and bonus.

Tomorrow is the Little New Year, and it is also the day when I am going to confess my love to Qi Yao. I have money in my pocket, so I want to buy some confession gifts for Qi Yao.

"Qi Yao, are you okay this afternoon? Come with me to the city. Chinese New Year is coming soon and I want to buy some new clothes."

I know Qi Yao's character. If I give her a gift, she will definitely refuse it, so I am going to change the way and give her a surprise.

"I do have time, but buses leave in the morning, and there are no buses to the city now," Qi Yao said.

The car issue is easy to solve. Fatty has a car, and he has a lot of free time every day. It takes an hour and a half to go back and forth from the county seat to the city, so he has enough time.

"I'll figure it out for you, as long as you have time."

With Qi Yao's consent, I called Fatty's phone number.

Fatty immediately agreed to my request. About ten minutes later, Fatty's Audi A6 arrived at the door of the chess and card room.

What surprised me was that besides the fat man, there was another person in the co-pilot, Qin Hao!

He was amazed at the fat man's efficiency in doing things. In just a few days, he was able to poach Qin Hao. He was indeed someone who had studied in a big city, and his efficiency in doing things was very high.

"Brother Qiu, sister-in-law."

After getting in the car, Qin Hao turned around and greeted Qi Yao and me.

This call from sister-in-law surprised me. I looked at Qi Yao. Her face turned slightly red and she was shy, but she still nodded slightly and made a slight hum.

I am secretly happy, it seems that Qi Yao has recognized this relationship, and I feel more confident about my confession tomorrow.

"Qin Hao, when did you come here?" I asked, implicitly asking when he started hanging out with the fat man.

Qin Hao immediately replied: "I proposed to withdraw from Huang Mao last night, and I went to Brother Hong this morning to report."

"Okay, there won't be much development if I hang out with you, Huangmao!" I patted the fat man on the shoulder again and joked: "Jiang Zhihong, you have quite a bit of charisma."

"That's right. Otherwise, do you think my brother's singing every night depends on money? He relies on his charm, okay!" The fat man looked so vulgar that I couldn't help but give him a punch.

"Ahem." He coughed twice, reminding him that there was a girl sitting next to him and not to talk nonsense.

"Yanqiu, is your throat uncomfortable?" Qi Yao asked with concern, but she had already put her hand on my leg and pinched it hard: "Are you also singing every night?"

"No, I didn't."

........

I'm not familiar with the city, but Fatty is familiar with the roads.

Hearing that I was going to buy clothes, he drove us directly to the department store in the city.

The entire shopping mall has about six or seven floors, and each floor sells different things. The first floor mainly sells gold, silver and jewelry.

Above the second floor, there are clearly divided areas for men's clothing, women's clothing, sports, and leisure. In my mind, this is the place for high-end shopping.

When we entered the mall, we didn't immediately go upstairs to buy clothes.

"Let's walk around the first floor first and look at the necklace." I suggested.

In the Northeast, gold necklaces have always been the accessories pursued by men of our generation. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, gold necklaces became a symbol of men's status.

If you want to know whether this man has money, just look at how thick his necklace is.

But my main purpose is not to show myself the necklace, but to find a suitable gift for Qi Yao.

After visiting several jewelry stores, Qi Yao's eyes were suddenly attracted by a pearl necklace in a jewelry store.

"Go over and have a look." I took Qi Yao's hand and walked over.

Seeing us coming, the sales lady came over enthusiastically and introduced the products.

When the sales lady took out the pearl necklace from the counter, Qi Yao's eyes lit up and she couldn't put it down.

"Like it?" I asked.

Qi Yao nodded, then immediately shook her head: "Let's go, let's go upstairs to choose clothes for you."

It can be seen that Qi Yao likes this necklace very much, but the price tag on the necklace is a price she cannot afford.

I didn't offer it to her, and she would never accept it.

Keeping the name of this jewelry store in mind, a group of us headed to the men's clothing area on the third floor.

After shopping around a lot, I finally bought two sets of clothes for myself at Lilan.

"It's New Year's Day tomorrow. I'm treating you today. Each person will buy a set of clothes. You are not allowed to refuse." I said generously.

Nowadays, I can be regarded as a big brother. Although I have only one younger brother, the big brother must act like a big brother.

"Since Brother Qiu has arranged it, I won't be polite, haha."

At first, both Qin Hao and Qi Yao refused, but due to the fat man's pattern and my tough attitude, both Qin Hao and Qi Yao chose their favorite clothes, and I even bought one for Lu Kai.

"Thank you, Brother Qiu." Qin Hao was very moved when he saw me paying nearly a thousand yuan and thanked me.

Come to think of it, Xiao Huangmao probably never gave him anything.

Seeing his moved expression, I knew that my money was not wasted. The huge difference in attitude between Huang Mao and I towards him made him loyal to me.

I hugged Qin Hao's shoulders and laughed and scolded: "Since you are following us, then he is a brother. Why are brothers so polite?"

On the side, Qi Yao and Fatty also imitated Qin Hao naughtily: "Thank you, Brother Qiu."

I was speechless for a while.

When I walked out of the mall and saw them all getting on the bus, I looked anxious and said, "I'm going to the toilet first, please wait for me."

Returning to the shopping mall, he went to the jewelry store, packed up the necklace Qi Yao was interested in, hid it in the handbag of clothes, and then got into the car with satisfaction.

It was past five o'clock when I returned to the county seat. I put my things back home and hurried to the Sixi chess and card room.

It was exactly six o'clock when I arrived.

Walking into the chess and card room, he went straight to the box. Boss Liu, Lanna, and the couple had already arrived, but Xiao Wang did not follow.

Since then, in the entire gambling game, there is only one pig, Boss Liu, and the rest are trustworthy.

At this time, Boss Liu was counting the money, and the person in charge was standing next to him. On the table was yesterday's IOU.

"Two hundred thousand, just right." Boss Liu placed the piles of money on the table.

The person in charge smiled and put away the money on the table: "Mr. Liu, the first one hundred thousand is interest-free. The second loan requires interest."

Hearing this, Boss Liu lost another 10,000 yuan to the person in charge with a dark face.

Today, Boss Liu's high-spiritedness has disappeared, and his face is bitter. However, it is understandable that anyone who loses so much money can be in a good mood.

"Brother Liu doesn't look very energetic today. Did you get angry after losing yesterday?" I joked with a smile, adding a pinch of salt to his wound. Anyway, I already had the image of a bad guy, so I had to do it to the end.
