Chapter 164 No Need to Look for It
The young clerk smiled and immediately took out the latest mobile phone on the market from the counter. He said to Tang Shuo, "This phone is new and ultra-thin. It's perfect for your girlfriend."
Judging from the way these two people were dressed, they didn't look like they were short of money. And men usually try to be generous at this time, even if it's beyond their means, they'll still buy it.
The young clerk has already started calculating in his mind the commission that this phone can bring him.
When did I become his girlfriend?
Wang Shanshan, who was standing nearby, raised her eyebrows when she heard the clerk's words and quickly said, "I'm not his girlfriend."
The young clerk glanced at the two of them, gave them a knowing smile, and said, "I understand, I understand."
"What do you know?" Wang Shanshan asked dissatisfiedly.
Tang Shuo didn't bother to argue and said to the clerk, "Get the cheapest phone."
After hearing Tang Shuo's words, not only the young clerk, but even Wang Shanshan was stunned.
Why is this guy so stingy?
The young clerk asked in confusion, "Sir, what price range of mobile phone do you need?"
"The cheapest." Tang Shuo answered affirmatively.
In fact, Tang Shuo was not short of money. Although he had never used the money from the Datang Group, Zheng Xiaowan would transfer a part of Nan Guo's profits to his card on time every month.
It’s just that this is the first time he met Wang Shanshan, so there’s no reason for him to be such a sucker, right?
Moreover, the prosperous Tang Dynasty is short of money, so of course we need to save as much as possible.
The young clerk's attitude quickly turned cold. He said something to another clerk beside him, then stood aside with a look of disdain on his face.
Wang Shanshan was immediately annoyed. She had spent over 7,000 yuan on her phone. Was this guy trying to trick her by just buying her a random phone?
"No." Wang Shanshan said, "You have to give me a phone that's exactly the same as the one I had before."
Tang Shuo turned his head and glanced at Wang Shanshan, then said confidently, "I don't have any money."
“…”
Wang Shanshan opened her mouth but didn't say anything in the end.
However, if he knew that Tang Shuo was the controller of a large group with assets worth billions, he would definitely eat Tang Shuo alive.
If we still don’t have money in this situation, then wouldn’t all the Chinese be poor?
At this moment, another clerk, who had gone to get something, dumped a discontinued Nokia on the table and said to Tang Shuo, "This phone is the cheapest, only 80. We also offer a free phone with a top-up, but the minimum top-up is 500. Would you like to see the free phone?"
"No thanks," Tang Shuo refused directly. Even an elementary school student could do this. Why bother asking again?
Taking out eighty yuan from his pocket and throwing it on the counter, Tang Shuo said directly, "No need for change."
The two shop assistants looked at each other, wondering how they could find it even if they wanted to.
Tang Shuo picked up the phone and handed it to Wang Shanshan, saying, "This one looks good and suits you very well. You can apply for the card later."
Wang Shanshan raised her brows unconsciously and slowly reached out to take the phone.
She had been a journalist for many years and had some savings. Originally, she should have looked down on it, but at this moment, she accepted the phone as if possessed by some unknown force.
Tang Shuo took two steps outside the store. Noticing that Wang Shanshan hadn't caught up with him, he turned around and asked, "Why are you still standing there?"
Wang Shanshan came to her senses when she heard Tang Shuo's urging, and hurriedly chased after him with the mobile phone that she had bought for 80 yuan.
She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't remember what it was.
As soon as the two walked out of the store, the phone in Tang Shuo's pocket rang.
Tang Shuo took out the cell phone from his pocket and answered it immediately. It seemed that there was progress on Jesus' side!
Wang Shanshan on the side finally realized that something was wrong. When this guy said that he had no money, she believed him, but how did this guy look like he had no money?
Although the clothes on this guy were not expensive, if she was not mistaken, the Hermès belt on him should be genuine, and it should cost at least ten thousand yuan. Moreover, he was actually using a mobile phone that cost thousands of yuan!
Looking at the Nokia name on her phone, Wang Shanshan felt that this was a complete mockery of herself!
When Tang Shuo hung up, Wang Shanshan was about to confront him, but Tang Shuo spoke first, saying, "Reporter Wang, there's a big corruption revelation. Are you interested in hearing about it?"
"What corruption?" Wang Shanshan forgot about her own affairs after being interrupted by Tang Shuo and asked what Tang Shuo said.
"Do you know about the Zhujiang Project auction that will be held tomorrow?"
Wang Shanshan thought about it and nodded, "That's true."
When the Zhu Jiang project was established, her colleagues had reported this matter, and she paid a little attention to it at the time, but she didn't know why this guy suddenly brought it up.
"The person in charge of Jinxiu Real Estate and the person in charge of this matter are having dinner together right now." Tang Shuo asked, "Do you think there's any connection between the two?"
Wang Shanshan frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Maybe it's just a coincidence. They're just friends getting together."
Tang Shuo smiled and asked, "Reporter Wang, I'm afraid you don't even believe these words, right?"
"But tomorrow's auction is going to be held, and the process is completely transparent," Wang Shanshan countered. "And the government has repeatedly stressed that this is completely fair and just."
"Do you think there is such a thing as fairness in China?"
Tang Shuo shook his head, wondering how Wang Shanshan became a reporter.
"Then how can you prove that there is something hidden behind this matter?" Wang Shanshan said stubbornly.
In fact, even she herself felt a little guilty about what she had just said. She had seen and heard all kinds of scandals and shady dealings, and many of the things she had said were enough to shock the public. But even so, she still believed that most people were good people and was not very willing to consider the issue from a conspiracy theory perspective.
Her thoughts are completely different from Tang Shuo's. Tang Shuo always considers things from the worst perspective.
"Come with me."
After Tang Shuo finished speaking, he walked towards the white Polo on the side of the road. Wang Shanshan immediately followed after hesitating for a moment.
Tang Shuo got directly into the driver's seat and immediately drove towards the restaurant Jesus had just mentioned.
Wang Shanshan looked at Tang Shuo with a complicated expression, but in her heart she was thinking about the consequences if this matter really happened as Tang Shuo said.
The government held an open auction some time ago. The location of that piece of land was far inferior to that of Zhujiang, but it was still sold at a sky-high price of 1.3 billion.
It can be expected that the value of the land used for the Zhujiang project is definitely more than 1.5 billion.
If there is any hidden secret behind this matter, it will definitely cause a large amount of state-owned assets to be lost, and it will be a huge corruption case.
----
The car soon arrived in front of a hotel called Yukou. Tang Shuo and Wang Shanshan had just gotten off the car when Jesus, who was chatting with a female receptionist in front of the hotel, immediately walked towards Tang Shuo.
Jesus was about to recount this story to Tang Shuo, but when he saw Wang Shanshan beside him, he instantly stopped talking. With shining eyes, he turned to Wang Shanshan and bowed slightly, saying, "Hello, beautiful lady. God told me that a beautiful angel will appear here at night, and I think he's talking about you."
Wang Shanshan first glanced at Tang Shuo in confusion, then said doubtfully, "Hello."
No woman would refuse such compliments, and Wang Shanshan was a great beauty, so she gladly accepted the compliment.
But she just saw that the blond man was coming towards Tang Shuo. Could it be that these two didn’t know each other?
"Excuse me……"
“Pah…”
Before Jesus could even ask his question, Tang Shuo on the side had already kicked Jesus on the butt and said with a smile, "Let's get down to business."
Jesus turned around and glared at Tang Shuo, then said, "The two have been talking in there for half an hour. They should be coming out soon."
"Did you take the photo?" Tang Shuo asked.
Jesus took out a camera from his pocket and handed it over, saying with a smile, "Absolutely high definition and no censorship."
Tang Shuo shook his head helplessly and took the camera.
A few days ago, after Lao Hei woke up, he asked Jesus to get a tablet computer from Lao Mao. The computer was full of things that were not suitable for children.
At first, Lao Mao was just entertaining himself, but later Jesus also joined the battle. The two of them each wore a headset and sat in the corner all day long with lewd smiles on their faces, whispering discussions together.
At first, Yu Wen ran to take a look out of curiosity, but she immediately ran away with her face flushed. From then on, whenever Lao Mao was holding a computer, Yu Wen never went near him again.
