Chapter 213 - 83: Buying Eight Phones at Once

"Then should we bring them lunch?"

When Shen Yanzhi came over, Jiang Li put the phone on speaker, so Jing Shiyun naturally heard what he said.

She thought about it carefully. "If it’s not too much trouble, that would work."

’If you don’t bring lunch, we’d just have to order takeout anyway.’

’Takeout isn’t as clean or healthy as a home-cooked meal, and it doesn’t have all those artificial additives and preservatives.’

Jiang Li had no objections. "Alright, I’ll bring you lunch later."

She hung up, went to the bathroom to freshen up, changed into some loungewear, and headed downstairs.

In the dining room, breakfast was already prepared. Xie Wan stood to the side, as if she were part of the scenery.

She pulled out a chair for Jiang Li. Jiang Li nodded in thanks and sat down. As she picked up her chopsticks, she gave her instructions: "My mom broke her leg, had surgery, and is in the hospital. Later, have the kitchen prepare a soup and a couple of light dishes."

Xie Wan nodded. "Yes, not a problem."

She called out, "Ah Yan."

Shen Yanzhi looked up. "Hm? What is it?"

Jiang Li suggested earnestly, "I think... maybe you should go into the office every day."

’If Shen Yanzhi doesn’t leave, how am I supposed to go on the livestream and boost my favorability score?’

’I can’t just hide in the bathroom every time, can I?’

’Shen Yanzhi would probably think I have some sort of digestive issue and drag me to the hospital for a check-up.’

Shen Yanzhi froze, put down his chopsticks, and asked in disbelief, "You don’t want me at home?"

’We’ve only been married for such a short time. Is she already tired of me?’

’Could I really say yes? If I said I did, Shen Yanzhi would probably run off and tattle on me to Jing Shiyun and Jiang Bowen.’

She immediately put down her chopsticks and waved her hands dismissively. "No, of course not! I just think you’re overdoing it. There’s no need to stay home all the time just for me."

"And besides, you must be busy with your company. It’s not sustainable to handle everything remotely from home."

Jiang Li did have a point. The new company had only just been founded, and there was indeed a mountain of work to do.

But Shen Yanzhi couldn’t rest easy leaving Jiang Li home alone, even with Xie Wan and the bodyguards to keep her company.

Meeting Jiang Li’s earnest gaze, he didn’t hesitate for a second before saying, "Nothing in the world is more important than you."

Hearing this, Jiang Li felt a surge of affection, but mostly, she just felt exasperated.

’If Shen Yanzhi won’t leave, how am I ever going to watch that livestream?!’

Her gaze darted around the room, finally landing on Xie Wan, who stood off to the side.

’That’s it! I can’t watch, so I’ll just have Xie Wan send the gifts for me.’

’All I need are the favorability points anyway. It doesn’t matter at all whether I’m the one sending the gifts myself.’

At this thought, Jiang Li’s eyes lit up.

She averted her gaze and pursed her lips. "Fine. Do whatever you want."

Before Shen Yanzhi could reply, she quickly changed the subject. "You know, my phone’s been acting up lately. I think I want to get a new one."

’That way, I can just give my old phone to Xie Wan. She won’t even need to download the app herself.’

Shen Yanzhi asked, a bit tentatively, "So... should we go to the mall after breakfast?"

Jiang Li nodded. "That works."

After breakfast, they called for Xu Shijie and his three men. The six of them then went to the mall together.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman, followed by four imposing men in suits—the combination had a head-turn rate of nearly 100%.

Jiang Li had a clear goal and made a beeline for the phone store.

’Now that I’m at the mall, it’d be a crime not to cash in.’

Jiang Li stood before a display case, turning to Shen Yanzhi to propose, "Since I’m getting a new phone, why don’t we get new ones for both our parents, and for your brother, too?"

Shen Yanzhi blinked, then nodded. "Sure."

’A phone wasn’t that expensive, anyway. For a few people, it would only add up to a few tens of thousands.’

She called a sales associate over. "Hi, could you please get me the latest Huawei model with the most storage?"

"Our latest Huawei model is the Mate 80 RS Extraordinary Master. The version with the most storage costs 12,999 yuan."

Jiang Li nodded. "Alright. I’ll take eight of them."

’Eight phones would be around 100,000 yuan. Factoring in the cash back, it would be like getting eight phones for free.’

The sales associate asked, somewhat incredulously, "Ma’am, are you sure?"

"Positive. Go ahead and scan the code."

The associate made an inviting gesture. "Of course, right this way!"

Shen Yanzhi was a step ahead and pulled up his own payment QR code, but just as the associate was about to scan it, Jiang Li covered his screen with her hand and paid with her own phone.
