"Comrade, these three items cost a total of 4300."
These two Seiko watches are very expensive; they are both imported, and together they cost four thousand.
The latest amplifier is a tape recorder, which costs 300 yuan.
Ouyang Zhenyu took the ticket and went straight to the women's clothing counter next door.
"Comrade, please help me with this one, this one, this one... these five dresses."
"Yes, and this red scarf."
And these four pairs of women's leather shoes.
Size 36.
"And please get me the best of everything, including this shampoo and facial cosmetics."
And these leather bags.
"Could you please get me a suitcase? After you've paid for all these items, could you please put them in the suitcase for me?"
The women's clothing counter clerk usually clicks her tongue while issuing the ticket, wondering what's going on.
He was just driven crazy by Xiao Wu. Is this man determined to utterly humiliate himself?
But since the manager didn't say anything, they had no choice but to comply.
The male manager quietly approached Li Huimin.
"Lady, you should advise your friend that there's no need to do this, it will only make him feel more embarrassed."
Our staff has already apologized; why let this situation escalate? Look, everyone's gathered here, upstairs and downstairs. Making this a big deal won't benefit anyone.
Given Ouyang Zhenyu's behavior, the manager can't very well have someone kick him out. If they dare to kick him out today, they'll be on the front page of the newspaper tomorrow.
Their department store can't afford to lose that kind of reputation.
They are an advanced unit in the city.
A unit that has been recognized as an advanced unit for ten consecutive years cannot afford to lose this honor.
Li Huimin sighed and stepped forward.
"Comrade Ouyang, how about we buy these things next time?"
Ouyang Zhenyu took so many things at once that he didn't have enough money in his pocket.
Although preparations were made, who would spend tens of thousands of yuan when going out? And these days, everyone carries cash. Who would carry 10,000 yuan on their person?
Ouyang Zhenyu must be furious.
However, Ouyang Zhenyu's actions suddenly made Li Huimin dislike him. It is understandable for a man to have pride, but it also depends on the occasion.
Ouyang Zhenyu's actions will only make others look down on him even more.
I originally thought Ouyang Zhenyu was calm and reserved, and had a commanding presence, but now it seems he's a bit petty.
Acting so impulsively.
Ouyang Zhenyu said calmly.
"Comrade Li Huimin, this is my private matter, so please don't interfere!"
I definitely want to buy these things.
You can definitely find some brand-name items you like at department stores, but I don't need to buy my clothes here.
Li Huimin pulled him aside and whispered.
"Comrade Ouyang, stop making a scene. If we make a big fuss about this in public, how will we face the Hong Kong businessmen tomorrow?"
Letting others know this news will only cause these negotiations to fall apart.
"I know you're upset, but there's no need to be so childish."
The staff had already filled out the forms and pushed them in front of Ouyang Zhenyu. Ouyang Zhenyu grabbed the thick stack of forms and turned around to walk to the cashier.
Everyone made way for him; everyone was watching the show.
The waiters didn't start serving anything; to be precise, they were all watching to see how Ouyang Zhenyu was about to embarrass himself.
Some people nearby couldn't bear to watch and quickly tried to persuade him.
"Comrade, I know you're in a bit of an awkward situation, but there's no need for that."
"Everyone has times when they can't afford things. Besides, you're carrying so much stuff, several thousand dollars' worth at once. Doesn't that make you look even more embarrassed?"
"The waitress's attitude was indeed problematic, but you don't need to get angry with her."
"Yes, yes, it's not a good thing for young people to be so concerned about their image."
Ouyang Zhenyu placed the receipt on the cashier's counter, and the cashier fiddled with the abacus beads for a while before speaking.
"The total is 6900 yuan."
For a moment, it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; everyone was shocked by the number.
However, most people were just watching the spectacle; they were curious to see how this young man would get off the stage.
These days, nobody just casually spends that much money with one hand.
When Li Huimin heard the number, she squeezed the wallet in her hand; she didn't have that much money with her.
I never expected Ouyang Zhenyu to go to such extremes.
The male manager stood aside, watching Ouyang Zhenyu with a mocking expression. They had already given him all the advice they needed to give.
This young man insisted on going his own way, and he has no reason not to embarrass himself.
Just at the critical moment, a cracking sound came from the side.
When Li Huimin turned around, her face instantly changed color.
It was a reporter holding a camera; such professional cameras are unaffordable for most people, except for journalists.
After taking two photos, the reporter put down his camera and approached with great interest.
"Comrade, I am a reporter from Shanghai Daily. I would like to ask you, what is the purpose of you spending such a high price to buy these things?"
I see you've only bought women's clothing.
"I bought these things for my girlfriend, of course."
"Oh, so it's for his girlfriend. I didn't expect this guy to be so generous to his girlfriend. I'd like to ask him, how much is your monthly salary?"
You need to understand that 6900 yuan is no small sum.
"Comrade reporter, don't listen to his nonsense."
He couldn't even afford his own clothes which cost over 2,000 yuan, let alone this 6,900 yuan. You don't know, this young man is always putting on airs.
He just asked his girlfriend to pay for everything, and then he turns around and says these things are for his girlfriend. Who would believe that?
The waitress immediately added fuel to the fire, of course she didn't believe Ouyang Zhenyu would pay the bill.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, the reporter's eyes changed, but his expression remained the same, and he continued to ask with a smile.
"Oh, so your girlfriend is here. May I interview her?"
"This is his girlfriend."
The saleswoman enthusiastically pointed to Li Huimin.
The reporter quickly stepped forward and handed the microphone to Li Huimin, who immediately beamed with joy.
If she publicly acknowledges that she is Ouyang Zhenyu's girlfriend now, perhaps their relationship can take another step forward.
I never expected such a pleasant surprise today.
Just as I was about to speak, I heard Ouyang Zhenyu's voice.
"I'm sorry, comrade, you've got the wrong person. This isn't my girlfriend; she's just a colleague I work with."
As soon as she said this, the way people looked at Li Huimin immediately changed.
The saleswoman immediately glared at Ouyang Zhenyu with displeasure and said...
"You're quite something, buddy. When that girl offered to pay for you, why didn't you say she wasn't your girlfriend?"
They're denying it now.
"He's actually living off his wife!"
"Lady, you'd better open your eyes wide. You'd better dump a man like that as soon as possible."
