Since the teacher had made it clear that there would be no exam that night and no evening self-study, Li Lechen naturally wanted to hurry home, so he quickly packed his schoolbag.
Everyone was taking an exam just now, so I had to take it easy and only draw simple things. When I get home tonight, I can draw some more fun things.
With this 7D printing pen, it felt like he had obtained Ma Liang's magic paintbrush and golden finger. If it weren't for the two eggs holding him back, Li Lechen would have already tried it.
Installed!
Let's get out of here!
"Li Lechen".
Suddenly, Lin shouted.
"I?"
Li Lechen hadn't even put the bag on when he was called back, and he was stunned for a moment.
"You can stay behind to do the cleaning today," Lin instructed naturally.
"Why me?" Li Lechen protested. "It was me too, at the end of last semester!"
That's right. The end of the semester and the start of the semester are the two times when the cleaning workload is the heaviest. One time is to clean up before the summer vacation, and the other time is to thoroughly clean up the dust that has accumulated over the summer vacation.
The key point is that Li Lechen is eager to go home to explore the mysteries of the 7D printing pen; he doesn't want to stay and clean.
But Lin had his own explanation: "To be fair, last semester we arranged it in ascending order, but this semester we're arranging it in reverse order, so that the same person doesn't always have to clean the same time period."
"......"
Li Lechen was truly speechless at this explanation.
The word "official" has two mouths, so you're always right.
However, it's not bad that Lin Pohuang didn't bully Lin Kun this time.
"Wooden stick!"
Before we could even celebrate for Lin Kun, Lin spoke up again: "You'll stay and do your chores too!"
As expected, Lin Kun accepted it without even a ripple of emotion.
Since I'm not fighting alone, let's sweep through.
Li Lechen had no choice but to accept it.
Lin continued to boast. After all, what family doesn't have an uncle?
Wu Qunfang and Lin are best friends, a fact known to the whole class. Wu Qunfang has connections at school; her uncle is the dean of students and will soon become the vice principal. Lin's family is wealthy; her uncle is a big boss who reportedly owns an entire office building in Hong Kong.
But when Lin arrived at the hair clip, Wu Qunfang's expression changed slightly.
The hair clip in her hair was indeed bought from Hong Kong by Lin's uncle. The two of them were looking at a magazine together when they saw this one, which cost over a thousand Hong Kong dollars.
Wu Qunfang sighed at the time, saying she really wanted one.
Lin immediately offered to have her uncle buy one for her in Hong Kong.
And, just like that, ten days later, Wu Qunfang received a hair clip exactly like the one in the magazine, completely inlaid with Swarovski crystals.
“My uncle just happened to bring it back this time, so there’s no need to mail it,” Lin boasted. “And it just so happens to be on sale at the mall. The original price was HK$1288, but after the discount, it’s only RMB 1074. You can just give me RMB 1000.”
Wu Qunfang was completely captivated by the exquisite hair accessories, and was stunned when she heard that she had to pay for them.
The inner monologues of the two began to unfold intensely—
Wu Qunfang: Isn't this a gift for me?
Lin: More than a thousand! How could I possibly give that away!
Wu Qunfang: It wasn't a gift. Why were you so eager to give it to me back then?
Lin: You were the one who was very excited and wanted it; I was just going along with it.
Wu Qunfang: If I had known it cost over a thousand yuan and I would have to pay for it myself, I wouldn't have bothered! You can buy a dozen for ten yuan on Pinduoduo. After all, knockoffs aren't counterfeit goods, so it's perfectly acceptable.
Lin: You act like you don't know it costs over a thousand. Please! Is your uncle the dean of students' affairs?!
Wu Qunfang: Please! Your uncle is a big boss, a thousand yuan is nothing to him, right?
Lin: I won't give it to you.
After their internal monologues were over, the two resumed their performance of a superficial friendship.
Wu Qunfang: "It's really beautiful! How much of a discount did you get?"
Lin: "9.5% off! This brand of jewelry usually doesn't offer discounts."
Wu Qunfang: "This discount is really... quite big. How can I pay you?"
Lin: "Why are you in such a hurry? You can do it anytime. Or you can transfer the money to my WeChat?"
Wu Qunfang: "I don't have that much money in my WeChat account."
Lin: "Alipay works too."
Wu Qunfang: "How about I give you cash?"
Lin: "Cash is fine, of course."
Wu Qunfang: "Then I need to go home to get it; I didn't bring it with me."
Lin: "No rush, no rush, or... don't you have any money in your Alipay account?"
Wu Qunfang: "I think cash is more convenient."
Lin: "Hehe...that's true."
Wu Qunfang: "Hehe... Thank you."
However, this could only be delayed for a while, and three days later, Wu Qunfang had no choice but to reluctantly pay Lin 1,000 yuan, a full ten Mao Zedong bills.
For Wu Qunfang, spending a thousand yuan on such a hair accessory was nothing more than the kind of pain one feels when being cheated on.
Lin was also frustrated. Although her uncle didn't charge her for the hair accessory, the price was still there. The actual price was 1074 yuan, which was genuine. She had already given Wu Qunfang a price that was considered a "best friend" price, but she was still dragged into this mess.
However, the two maintained a superficial friendship. After all, one had an uncle who was an official, and the other had a wealthy uncle. They were also classmates, so it was impossible for them to fuss over a hair accessory.
However, now that Wu Qunfang's uncle is going to become the vice principal, Wu Qunfang suddenly feels that her value has increased a lot. She gladly accepts the compliments from everyone and also accepts Lin's flattery, regardless of whether it is true or not.
