V4C13 – Rehearsed (2/2)

“Alright, then how much money does the sim card cost. I will top-up a 1000 Yuan. Just make the bill, and I will pay for it all at once!” I nodded.

“Good! The sim card costs 200, bringing the total bill to 1200 Yuan. I will open the system for you to choose a number from,” the young sales lady said hastily.

Xu Xueyun wanted to say something but didn’t. She wanted to think about the matter, but couldn’t think clearly. He had already spent so much on her today, what was she going to do for him?

“Do you have a phone number that ends in 0816?” Xu Xueyun said.

“0816?” After paying the bill, I heard Xu Xueyun’s words as I returned to her side.

“Yes. It’s my birthday on August 16!” Xu Xueyun said.

“Really?” I stared at her. How could there be such a coincidence? My birthday was also on the 16th of August!

“What’s wrong?” Xu Xueyun asked as she looked at me strangely.

“Ah, nothing,” I didn’t say it. Although I knew Xu Xueyun wouldn’t doubt even if I told her. I still felt it was sort of a cheap trick used to court girls!

“Oh, look! 139***0816. This number hasn’t been registered yet. Do you want to register it now?” The sales lady excitedly pointed towards the number list.

“Alright, let’s get this one!” Xu Xueyun said as she looked towards me.

After we left the cell phone shop, Xu Xueyun couldn’t help but sigh as she thought about how we just spent more than 5,000 in an instant. She wondered if this was how the life of the rich was?

Thanks to the two previous shopping experiences, Xu Xueyun didn’t talk too much when buying shoes. She chose two pairs of shoes she liked, and their price was also moderate. She knew I was going to buy them for her anyway even if they were expensive.

After buying all the stuff, I looked at the time. It was around 5:00. Although there was still over an hour till the agreed time, the traffic in City B wasn’t small, so we rushed to the Jiuding Resort.

Jiuding Resort was originally opened by a wealthy businessman from Hongkong who came to B City. When Three Rock Gang and Daxing Gang divided territories, the Jiuding Resort fell inside Three Rock Gang’s territories. The Hongkong businessman was afraid of this mess. He had grown up in Hongkong and heard that the Underworld Gangs were very terrible. He was afraid of getting implicated, so he handed the resort over to the Three Rock Gang. Three Rock Gang naturally wouldn’t deny a new development site, nor did they lack money, so they bought it and didn’t take advantage of the Hongkong businessman either. They easily got the resort under their subsidiary!

I naturally didn’t know all these little matters, but Du Xiaowei had investigated a lot of stuff as he was worried over my safety and let me know. However, there didn’t appear to be any chance for some accident in a reunion like this.

I didn’t know who put out the idea of the class reunion and even chose this place. It must be known that the Jiuding Resort had turned into one of the biggest resorts in B City after its reform. It seems the host wasn’t some common businessman or young master.

Xu Xueyun and I had already rehearsed all our actions on the car beforehand. Now, when someone asked us about our experience, how we got acquainted, and how I pursued her, there wasn’t a need to think too much. When the time came, we could just say what we made up.
