Chapter 671 - 299: Senior, You’re Such a Big Capitalist

When Xu Yun said that, even Lin Wanzhou, who was standing right next to him, felt embarrassed on his behalf.

’Bro, can you really say that in front of a woman?’

"Yeah."

Unexpectedly, the woman across from them didn’t seem embarrassed at all.

Instead, she smiled graciously and asked, "Senior, do you have any good brands to recommend?"

The newcomer was none other than Wu Jinyan’s daughter, Ou Jingya.

"..." Lin Wanzhou.

’Damn, she’s a tough one, too.’

’But why is this guy Xu Yun always surrounded by beautiful women?’

’First that flight attendant, and now this chance encounter.’

Faced with Ou Jingya’s flirtatious comeback, Xu Yun just shrugged. "I don’t use that stuff, so how would I know?"

"Oh? I thought you were quite the expert on the subject, Senior."

"..." Xu Yun.

Seeing Xu Yun at a loss for words, Ou Jingya laughed. "But I have to say, I never expected a man worth hundreds of millions like you to be shopping in a regular supermarket, Senior."

"The way you say that makes it sound like I’m not the same species as you guys."

Xu Yun retorted, a bit annoyed, "Not only do I like shopping at budget supermarkets, I also love eating at street food stalls."

"Is that so? Well, how about we go grab a bite together tonight?"

Ou Jingya smiled. "I know a fantastic barbecue stall. I guarantee you won’t regret it. It’s right near Jiang University."

"I don’t have time today. I’m with a friend."

"Hey, don’t worry about me."

Lin Wanzhou chimed in from the side, completely undermining him. "Besides, when I’m having dinner with Yurou later, I don’t want you there being a third wheel."

"???" Xu Yun.

’Oh, okay. So that’s how we’re playing this, is it?’

’Just you wait. I’ll get my revenge when I see your dear Yurou!’

Hearing this, Ou Jingya burst out laughing. "See, Senior? Even your friend is ditching you. So, what do you say?"

"Fine."

Xu Yun nodded in agreement, then asked, "Do you need to buy anything else? I’ll go with you."

"What about your friend?"

"Let him wander around by himself. He’s ditching me anyway."

"Okay."

And so, Xu Yun and Ou Jingya turned and left together, leaving a lonely Lin Wanzhou behind, wondering where he should go next.

Leaving the grocery section, Xu Yun accompanied Ou Jingya to the home appliance department on the second floor.

Xu Yun asked, puzzled, "You’re buying home appliances?"

"Mhm."

Ou Jingya explained, "All the appliances at home are over ten years old. They’ve been acting up recently, so I figured I’d just replace them all."

"It’s about time. Teacher Wu is too frugal."

Xu Yun laughed. "The other day when I visited, looking at all your stuff felt like I’d traveled back to 2012."

"Haha, my mom’s not frugal. My dad was the one who bought all those things."

Ou Jingya said, "That’s why she could never bring herself to replace them."

"I see."

Xu Yun sighed with emotion. "Teacher Wu must have really loved your father."

"For their generation, marriage and love were like that. There weren’t so many material distractions. Once you got married, it was for life."

Ou Jingya continued, "It’s not like now, where relationships are complicated by so many other things. Very few people actually end up together."

"Is that why you don’t have a boyfriend?"

"Exactly."

Ou Jingya admitted frankly, "I’m an idealist. I’d rather have nothing than settle for less. I want to find a man who’s as reliable as my father was."

"How about me?"

Ou Jingya was stunned for a moment, then asked back, "Are you serious, Senior?"

’She clearly remembered that Xu Yun had a girlfriend!’

"Nah, just kidding."

"..." Ou Jingya.

Next up was appliance shopping.

Back when Xu Yun worked at the media company, he had been involved in ad planning for home appliance events, so he at least knew more about them than a complete novice like Ou Jingya.

Following his advice, Ou Jingya bought a lot of big-ticket items all at once.

Things like a washing machine, an oven, a range hood, a water heater, a refrigerator, an air conditioner, a television, and so on...

Today, she was truly a big spender and was about to drop a lot of money.

The nearby salesperson who was watching could barely contain their smile.

As they were about to check out, Ou Jingya sighed, "Well, this is probably going to wipe out my entire bank account!"

"Let me see if I can save you a little bit, then. I think I have a membership card for this place."

Xu Yun remembered that Yan Can had gotten him a super membership card for this chain, saying it would give him discounts on purchases.

Luckily, membership cards these days don’t require a physical card; a phone number is all you need.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had it on him.

"I have a membership card for this place, too."

Ou Jingya said, "It doesn’t save you much money. You just earn points that you can use to redeem gifts during promotions."

"I think mine has a decent discount. I’ve never used it, so I’m not entirely sure."

"Really? Let me try it, then."

Hearing this, Ou Jingya didn’t hesitate. She was naturally happy about the chance to save some money with a membership.

At the checkout counter, she gave the cashier Xu Yun’s phone number.

As soon as the cashier entered it, her expression turned strange.

This wasn’t an ordinary membership card. It was a super membership card, one that only family members of the company’s shareholders could possess.

The privilege of this card was that all purchases in the store were billed at a 60% rate, which was basically the cost price.

Noticing this, Ou Jingya asked, "Is something wrong, miss? Is there a problem with the card?"

"Not at all."

The cashier glanced at her and Xu Yun, then said respectfully, "Your total comes to 56,000. But because you’re a super member, after the discount, you only need to pay 32,000."

"!!!" Ou Jingya.

’More than 20,000 saved just like that???’
