Chapter 12 The Chairman of the Women's Military Commission
Just when everyone was condemning the brutal demolition by the real estate company, Chen Taizhong had already taken a taxi and arrived at the First Department Store in Phoenix City.
What happened today allowed him to find the joyful feeling that he had not found for a long time. Of course, this kind of joy was not deserved. It was not a good thing to fall back into the same old ways. At the same time, this incident also brought him a little distress.
, is my emotional intelligence really that low?
Originally, he planned to stay at home for a few days and then buy a TV to take back to Donglinshui, but this discomfort reminded him that he might as well buy the TV today.
Bringing the 29-inch model home to show to his parents, and carrying the 18-inch model at home to Donglinshui, is this a temporary act of filial piety, and it stands to reason that it can increase his emotional intelligence, right?
At the end of 1996, the price of a 29-inch TV was more than 3,000 yuan, and the cheapest Gao Luhua cost 3,200 yuan. Chen Taizhong's clothes were not well-dressed. What was even worse was that he had just finished a fight.
, the move of demolishing the wall before leaving seemed very cool, but it also made him dirty, making him look like a migrant worker.
It was almost Chinese New Year, and there were a lot of people in the shopping mall, and there were also a lot of people wandering around the home appliance area, but unfortunately, no waiter was willing to pay attention to him. No one thought that this dusty guy could afford a color TV.
Logically speaking, Chen Taizhong would not be serious about being ignored by others. He has always been a careless person and was disturbed by others. As immortals, most people like to be clean.
But today he felt that it was necessary to be more serious, because it would prove that he was not a fool, and yes, he wanted to be serious.
"This TV is good, how much does it cost?" He pointed at a foreign brand and shouted, "Where are the waiters and the people? Are they all dead?"
As soon as he said these words, he regretted it. Looking at my bad mouth, he said, "Well, waiter, waiter!"
He consciously changed his words very quickly, but he didn't know that the curse just now had been heard by four or five salesmen. However, everyone was facing their own customers and could only turn a deaf ear.
However, in every group, there are people who are not well-educated. There was a chubby saleswoman in her early twenties who quit her job. Originally, she was recommending products to a pair of young people who were suspected of being lovers. When she heard this, she looked up.
He said loudly, "You are blind. Isn't the price marked on it?"
Well, Chen Taizhong was so choked by these words that he gasped and lowered his head slightly. Well, yes, there is a big sign in front of him. It says, the value of this TV is: ￥8999!
"Bullshit," he was a little annoyed. Of course, at least half of this anger came from the chubby salesman. The other half was that he was shocked to find that the People's Paper, oh no, it is RMB, is still useful in certain situations.
Well, the money in my pocket is really too little, "The foreign ones are bigger? They are so expensive!"
The chubby salesperson had already turned her attention to this place. She dared to admit that she was also a sweetheart. She abandoned the young couple who were shopping for newlywed items at the reception and ran over directly. She didn't even want the commission she wanted.
"You can't afford it, right? If you can't afford it, why should you charge it with a big clove of garlic?" She sneered, "Black and white TVs are sold in the basement, but the ones sold here are color TVs!"
Chen Taizhong was choked again. He became a little angry and finally spoke indiscriminately, "Can't afford it? Humph, I want to boycott Japanese goods! I won't buy Japanese things even if you ask me to buy them!"
"Boycott Japanese goods?" The saleswoman was stunned for a moment.
Time travel! The power of time travel is finally revealed.
In his previous life, Chen Taizhong had been living in a hazy state, only focusing on cultivation. He could not remember any major events that had happened in the country. He also knew nothing about the stage of the economy or any decisive things that had happened.
Therefore, when he first came back from time travel, he was very upset for a while because he could no longer make money using bugs. Although the immortal family didn't care about this yellow and white thing in the world, he still wanted to live the life of his parents.
Be happy.
However, he still has a somewhat vague impression of the memory of his previous life. For example, I don't know if it was 2008 or 2018, but China held the Olympic Games.
Furthermore, before the Olympic Games, for a few years, the Chinese people had a vigorous boycott of Japanese goods. After all, even if he became an immortal in his previous life, Chen Taizhong still came from a young man step by step.
Maybe you don't know anything about this kind of thing.
Unfortunately, it was now 1996, and the trend of boycotting Japanese goods had not yet formed. Therefore, although Chen Taizhong's words were very forward-looking, the saleswoman could not understand them.
"If you can't afford it, you can't afford it. Why are you boycotting Japanese goods?" The chubby woman sneered, "Now is not the time to fight the war. Boycott Japanese goods. You can go buy Philips!"
Philips color TVs are more expensive, so the salesperson is interested in seeing his joke, so naturally he tries to trick him like this.
"I want to support domestic brands, well, that is, domestic brands. I am a national cadre and I have to take the lead," Chen Taizhong said boldly, "Where are the domestic color TVs?"
He wanted to avoid this sharp-tongued salesman.
"You? A state cadre?" The fat woman looked at him up and down, and laughed out loud. This young man, who was covered in dirt and looked like he was only in his teens, could he be a state cadre?
"If you were a state cadre, I would be the chairman of the Military Commission," the woman laughed so hard that she wouldn't believe it even if I killed her.
"Xiao Chen, you are very enlightened," a voice sounded from behind Chen Taizhong. He was a middle-aged man, slightly stout and bald. He was accompanied by a beautiful girl of eighteen or nineteen years old.
"That's right, state cadres must support domestic products," the middle-aged man patted his palms, walked over, and looked at him with a smile, "Why, you don't recognize me anymore?"
"You...you seem to be in the examination group, right?" Chen Taizhong frowned and replied. His memory is actually quite good. As long as he is willing to remember something, he will not forget it for hundreds of years.
The middle-aged man was from the examination team. If Chen Taizhong had peeked at the examination team's evaluation of him, he would have recognized that this middle-aged man was the one who had exposed him. In other words, this person was the one who had exposed him.
I understand, not so much.
"Well, let me meet you. My name is Duan Weimin, from the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee." The middle-aged man chuckled and stretched out his hand, "Haha, what did you do to make yourself dirty?"
