106: Chapter 106: Trampled Underfoot 106: Chapter 106: Trampled Underfoot The next morning, Ye Qiu opened his eyes. It was already past seven. When he got up to wash, he saw that his sister’s and parents’ room doors were open. Not seeing the three of them, Ye Qiu thought, “They wouldn’t have gone back to open the porridge and noodle shop again, would they?” He hurriedly washed up, then rushed downstairs to the porridge and noodle shop. Sure enough, he saw Ye Xue and his parents there. “Sister, why are you here again? Weren’t you supposed to rest at home?” Ye Qiu asked. “Dad said we can’t just suddenly stop. We need to work for two or three more days and then post the shop transfer notice. That way, our regular customers will know.” So that’s how it was. It was evident that Ye Weidong and his wife were still very responsible. After Ye Qiu sat down and ate a bowl of noodles, he said, “Sister, when I come back later, I’ll take you to buy a phone.” Now Ye Xue and their parents didn’t have phones. Ye Qiu thought it was quite inconvenient. Ye Qiu first rode his bike to Liu Lingxiu’s house. When he reached her door, he saw that Liu Lingxiu was already waiting for him. Ye Qiu greeted Liu Lingxiu’s parents, then Liu Lingxiu hopped onto the back of his bike. Ye Qiu pedaled towards Jiangbei No. 3 Middle School. “Ye Qiu, there’s a monthly exam the day after tomorrow. Aren’t you going to take it?” “It doesn’t matter to me whether I take it or not. This time, I won’t take it. I’ll let you have first place.” Ye Qiu laughed. If it was before, Liu Lingxiu would have thought Ye Qiu was joking. But now, Liu Lingxiu knew Ye Qiu was serious. “Even if you don’t take the exam, I might not get first place. With Su Luoluo around, I might only get second place.” Thinking of Su Luoluo, Liu Lingxiu felt that her grades weren’t much different from hers, unless her general studies surpassed Su Luoluo’s. Ye Qiu biked to the teaching building of Jiangbei No. 3 Middle School. After letting Liu Lingxiu get off the bike, he rode out of the campus again. Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming, who had just come downstairs, were planning to hang out with Ye Qiu but couldn’t find him anymore. When Ye Qiu biked back to the porridge and noodle shop, Ye Xue was already waiting for him. “Mom, I’m taking Sister to buy a phone.” “Ye Qiu, be careful while riding.” Chen Fang said. In Jinling City, the area of Jiangnan was much more prosperous compared to Jiangbei. So, Ye Qiu biked towards the most famous phone market in Jinling Jiangnan. On the way, at first, Ye Xue held onto the bike seat. But gradually, she directly hugged Ye Qiu’s waist like Liu Lingxiu did. She felt Ye Qiu was her brother, so there was nothing to worry about. Besides, Ye Xue knew their real relationship better. Ye Qiu biked to the phone market. After finally finding a place to park, he and Ye Xue got off the bike, locked it up, and walked into the phone market together. Upon entering, Ye Qiu thought he had entered a vegetable market. To his surprise, there were so many customers inside. Moreover, the market sold all kinds of phones and related accessories. “Sister, have you been here before?” Ye Xue shook her head. Before, her right foot was inconvenient, and she didn’t like going anywhere. So, even though this phone market was in the same city, she had never been here. Now, as more and more people crowded in, Ye Xue hugged Ye Qiu’s arm directly and followed him inside. Ye Qiu planned to buy a phone for himself, and one each for Ye Xue, Liu Lingxiu, and their parents. There were plenty of phones inside. There were phones from the United States, South Korea, Japan, and many domestic brands. “Sister, which phone do you like?” “Whatever you buy, I’ll like it.” Ye Xue said. Ye Qiu took Ye Xue to the entrance of the most famous phone brand store. But upon entering, he saw that it was also crowded with customers. Most of the phones sold here were priced around five or six thousand. So, many people were just looking, and few were actually buying. Ye Qiu and Ye Xue entered. Ye Qiu dressed plainly, and although Ye Xue was beautiful, her clothes were also ordinary. So, as soon as they entered, none of the sales assistants in the phone brand store paid attention to them. They could only look at the phones through the glass counter. Neither of them had owned a phone before. The primary function of a phone was to make calls and send texts. As for other functions, they were becoming more numerous, but without having used a phone, they wouldn’t know. “Excuse me, sales assistant, can you come over?” Ye Qiu called out. The female sales assistant heard Ye Qiu but ignored him, pretending not to see, and just sat there. She had been working here for a long time and had seen all kinds of customers. Most were just looking; only genuine buyers went straight in and purchased without hesitating. With so many customers, she didn’t want to waste time on Ye Qiu and Ye Xue. Judging from their clothes, she thought they were just ordinary workers. How could they afford such expensive phones? The average salary in Jinling was two or three thousand. According to the price of these phones, these workers would have to save for two or three months without spending money to afford one. Ye Xue pulled Ye Qiu and said, “The phones here are too expensive. Why don’t we go to another store to look at those that cost a few hundred yuan?” Ye Xue thought the phones here were too expensive. Even though she knew Ye Qiu had millions, she never liked wasting money. “Sister, she looks down on us, thinking we can’t afford it. We’ll show her.” Ye Qiu said directly. Ye Xue knew Ye Qiu was different from before, so she said no more. In this brand store, there were over ten sales assistants, all busy with other customers. Ye Qiu called several sales assistants, but they either glanced at him or told him to look on his own, without coming over to help. Ye Qiu realized they were underestimating him. Seeing this, Ye Xue was about to pull Ye Qiu to leave. But Ye Qiu headed into the crowd, went up to the female sales assistant, and, in a move that stunned Ye Xue, the other customers, and even the sales assistant herself, Ye Qiu snatched the phone from her hand. In front of everyone’s eyes, he threw the latest model to the ground and stomped it into pieces. Ye Xue was dumbfounded! The female sales assistant was dumbfounded! The onlooking customers were also dumbfounded. A five or six thousand yuan phone was stomped to pieces by Ye Qiu just like that!
