“By the way, where’s Dr. Zhao?” I was going to say hello to Zhao Zichen before I left.
As a result, that doctor’s expression turned regretful all of a sudden, “Dr. Zhao is in the ICU, the patient he brought with him is badly injured and may not be saved.”
I instantly remembered Erguzi, who was unconscious from the smoke.
Chu Xiaoxiao asked, “How come everyone else is fine? Why is he the only one hurt so badly?”
“It’s not clear. He inhaled a lot of toxic gas and probably cried out for help at the scene of the fire, his respiratory tract was all burned and extensively infected, we are doing our best to rescue him.”
I felt something was wrong and said, “That’s strange, when I rescued them, everyone had their mouths shut and no one was calling for help. Zhao Zichen is a doctor himself, he must know that crying out for help in a fire is fatal.”
“That’s true, but people get dizzy in emergencies, so maybe he didn’t take Dr Zhao’s words to heart. Hey, this time Dr Zhao must be very sad ……”
Chu Xiaoxiao said dismally, “That’s for sure, that’s Zhao Zichen’s brother, ah, I hope he’s lucky.”
“The two of them were lifelong friends. This young man’s name is Huang Han, he and Dr. Zhao were junior high school cla*smates, and the two were closer than blood brothers, hehe ……”
I froze, always feeling that something was wrong.
The two of them are so close, Huang Han can’t be that he doesn’t trust Zhao Zichen, right?
But there was no point in dwelling on this now, I just hoped that Huang Han would survive.
After leaving the hospital, Chu Xiaoxiao and I went straight to the mall to pick out a birthday present for Cai Xiaobing for Lin Yue’er.
I am not good at picking out gifts, but fortunately Chu Xiaoxiao is familiar with spending money on things. It’s not a good idea to buy something too cheap, as if you’re too cheap to part with your money, or too expensive, as if you don’t dare to accept it. Besides, with Cai Xiaobing’s salary, she can’t afford to buy anything too expensive.
Later Chu Xiaoxiao chose a Swarovski crystal necklace, she opened the box and gave me a look, it was really gorgeous.
“How much is it?” I asked.
In fact, I wasn’t afraid of paying for it when I asked, I was just worried that the value of the item was far more than Cai Xiaobing could afford and that Lin Yue’er would see through at a glance that it wasn’t bought by Cai Xiaobing.
I didn’t know at the time that it was just over a thousand dollars and looked quite upscale, and it was also a big brand, so I thought it would be at least seven or eight thousand. After all, I’ve been in the military since I got rich, so where would I get in touch with these things?
The first time I asked, a long, white hand reached over and gently took the box out of Chu Xiaoxiao’s hand.
I was talking to Chu Xiaoxia, but I didn’t expect it, so I looked in the direction of that hand at the same time, only to see a melon-faced female shop a*sistant, with a cold face, taking out the necklace from the box just now and putting it back into the display case.
“What’s wrong? This is the necklace we want.” Chu Xiaoxiao was a little confused by this scene, the look of this female shop a*sistant was clearly that she just wouldn’t sell it to us.
“Sorry sir Miss, this necklace is a bit expensive for us.”
As soon as this was said, Chu Xiaoxiao and I both looked at each other and then couldn’t help but laugh at the same time. I knew what she was laughing at, this kind of shopping experience of being mistaken for a poor man was something we both hadn’t experienced in a long time. I didn’t expect this drama to be staged now that I’ve made a mess of the city, with eight out of ten people on the road remembering my face and knowing that I’m the young proprietor of Junran.
“Are you thinking I can’t afford it?” I asked.
I finished and scanned the price tag, one thousand two hundred dollars, something at this price was just right for Lin Yue’er.
“Sir, that’s not what I meant. It’s just that you don’t have to be so vain, it’s better to wait until you have a certain financial base before you come to buy it.”
Chu Xiaoxiao and I smiled at each other and nodded, saying repeatedly that she was right.
I put my arm around Chu Xiaoxiao’s shoulder and said, “Daughter-in-law, when I was in high school I heard about a rich man who went to a luxury shop to buy something and ended up having the clerk despise him, thinking he was poor, and then guess what?”
Chu Xiaoxiao also deliberately shook her head very exaggeratedly and said she didn’t know.
I said, “That fool just wrapped up everything in this shop. You see, this is the kind of fool who has money, and this shop a*sistant despises him, and he still buys things to give people a performance commission. If it were me, I wouldn’t do that.”
When I finished, the shop a*sistant laughed softly, his contempt for me written all over his face, the look as if to say, “Don’t fantasise if you don’t have money.”
“Sir, I’m doing this for your own good, don’t get me wrong, if you have to buy it, we don’t refund or exchange here. You are not allowed to wear it for two days and then come back for a refund.”
Because we were talking so loudly, the manager of the shop heard us, and the clerk, seeing the manager’s roving gaze, changed his tone and added.
“Daughter-in-law, it seems we are really too poor, how do you think we can make us look slightly richer. If we don’t dress up, we won’t be able to buy a present for Lin Yue’er today.”
At the astonished gaze of the shop a*sistant, I put my arm around Chu Xiaoxiao and turned my head to walk into the Cartier next door.
I had already wanted to buy something for Chu Xiaoxiao, I had never bought anything for her in all the time I had been with her. I didn’t know anything about jewellery, so I let the Cartier clerk recommend whatever she saw that looked good and gave it to Chu Xiaoxiao to wear.
When we returned to the Swarovski shop with three big gold bangles and a face of a rich man, the manager and the clerk’s faces were almost blackened into mud.
