Chapter 72 - Paid Shopping Trip? (2/2)

He was so meticulous!

Could this be the legendary humorous, warm, easy-going, and meticulous boss?

The few of them sauntered in the shopping mall and soon reached Shenhua Digital’s exclusive shop. As the largest telecommunications and hardware manufacturer in the country—although Shenhua Corporation also dabbled in real estate and tech ventures, its main business was in digital products such as computers, cell phones, earphones, etc.

Xiao Lu lifted the latest flagship phone model and instantly fell in love with it. Pei Qian thought that in comparison with the phone models in his previous life during the same years, these phones’ appearances were actually quite decent.

In his previous life, smartphones in 2009 and 2010 were actually not that common yet. There was a wide variety of phones on the market. Most of them still had basic keyboards with a number pad; some even had full keyboards.

In this world, as the era of smartphones had arrived earlier, most of the phones on display here were fully touchscreen. This world was probably two or three years faster than his previous one. It felt more or less like the preliminary stages of Xiaomi.

Xiao Lu was now holding the Shenhua G9 model. It was one of the very few on the market currently that catered slightly more towards mobile gaming; it was 3999 yuan.

After taking a long and hard look, Xiao Lu placed the phone down silently.

Pei Qian was now not happy.

“What’s wrong, you don’t like it?” Pei Qian asked.

Xiao Lu hurriedly replied, “Err, nope. Just that I feel that my current cell phone can last for another year. Furthermore… this is a little pricey…”

“A little pricey? Use your special expense!” Pei Qian said.

“Ah? Boss Pei, this can be used under special expense as well?” Xiao Lu was a little bewildered. “What does buying this cell phone have to do with work…?”

Pei Qian shook his head, “Why isn’t it related? Who said we might not move to developing mobile games in the future? We could even do a new edition of Ghost General, right? What’s wrong with purchasing a new gaming cell phone as a test?”

“Err…” Xiao Lu was a little lost for words.

“The special expense limit is 3500 yuan. If you use 499 from the shopping gift card, wouldn’t that be just nice?”

Xiao Lu blinked. “However…”

“What’s there to hesitate about? Don’t you want this? Your current G6 is a model from two years ago; it’s almost going to crash, right? I think that using this phone has evidently lowered your work productivity!”

“Next time if I need to find you for something and your phone hangs, wouldn’t that disrupt our work? For the sake of your work, change it!” Pei Qian said sternly.

Xiao Lu could only nod and say, “Alright, Boss Pei!”

He was a little emotional as he took a brand new unsealed phone from the table and went to settle the bill.

“Remember, use three thousand five hundred on your credit card and four hundred and ninety-nine from the shopping gift card; then, give the receipt to Assistant Xin to charge as expenses!

“Don’t spend your own salary!”

Seeing Xiao Lu heading to pay, Pei Qian was still a little not content. He looked at Huang Sibo and asked, “I think it’s time for your cell phone to change as well, right?”

Huang Sibo hurriedly gestured and said, “No, Boss Pei, I only changed it two months ago…”

“However, your cell phone is a lite version; it is like digital trash, do you know?” Pei Qian took a look and immediately saw what model that was.

“There’s really no need, Boss Pei. I have other things I want to buy.” Huang Sibo rejected once more.

Pei Qian nodded. Since Huang Sibo had other things to buy, Pei Qian was going to wait and see. He took a look at Lin Wan. However, Lin Wan actually raised her left hand and displayed the Shenhua M10 model in her hand.

This was the latest commercial flagship cell phone; the cheapest model cost over five thousand yuan. Furthermore, Lin Wan’s cell phone looked rather special; it should be a high-spec one. Lin Wan said, “I basically have everything in this shop, Boss Pei.”

Pei Qian, “…”

Sigh, rich second-generation heirs really could do as they wished; Lin Wan was really something!
