Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Powerhouse Alliance, the Cashback Card
After the two of them left, Yang Qiniang finally had a moment. He walked over to Lin Feng, sized him up, and then remarked,
"Never would’ve guessed, Old Lin!"
"I always thought I was the richest guy in our dorm, but I never expected you to be even richer than me!"
"Nope. I’m not letting you off the hook for that meal. You’re paying for half!"
Yang Qiniang had a smile on his face; he was clearly joking with Lin Feng.
However, Lin Feng nodded and agreed.
"Sure, but let’s not do half."
"When it comes to treating someone, it’s all about taking turns."
"After we finish shopping, I’ll treat you all to afternoon tea."
Since they had already agreed that Yang Qiniang would treat them to hot pot, Lin Feng didn’t want to change the plan on a whim.
After all, he’d already let Yang Qiniang treat him, so it made no sense to go back and split it.
Compared to going Dutch, Lin Feng much preferred the give-and-take of treating each other.
’Of course, as for those certain roommates who go to the cafeteria and conveniently "forget" their meal cards, Lin Feng could only think of them as shameless freeloaders.’
"Fine, since you put it that way."
"I know a new tea house that just opened, but it’s a little pricey. Don’t you go getting heartache over the bill later!"
Yang Qiniang nudged Lin Feng with his elbow, smirking.
He didn’t look like a rich heir at all.
’In front of a true big shot like Lin Feng, wasn’t he just a broke loser?’
"Oh right, Brother Nian."
"Do you know any good places to buy clothes?"
Lin Feng added.
"Clothes, huh?"
"Normally, I’d suggest Adidas or Nike, but now..."
"Since you’re so loaded, why bother with crap like Adidas? Let’s hit the luxury brands upstairs!"
Although it wasn’t Yang Qiniang buying for himself,
tagging along with Lin Feng and getting a taste of the high life was still pretty awesome!
After all, he was a rich heir with a monthly allowance of only 20,000 yuan.
Usually, he had to settle for buying clothes at Adidas or Nike. The higher-end stuff made his wallet hurt a little too!
Soon, Yang Qingqing finished paying and returned with Su Ruoxi.
The four of them left the cosmetics counter and went straight upstairs to the floor dedicated to clothing.
A single glance revealed
that most of this floor was dedicated to women’s luxury brands.
You could find brands like Gucci, Dior, and Chanel all on this floor.
But you’d be hard-pressed to find a single store dedicated to men’s clothing.
Lin Feng suddenly recalled a report he’d read once. It had a ranking of consumer spending power that went: women > children > the elderly > dogs, and last of all, men!
The ranking was a bit absurd,
but judging by reality, it wasn’t much of an exaggeration.
This was especially true for clothing, as the layout of the mall’s shops made plain.
After searching for a long time, the four finally found two stores that specialized in men’s clothing.
And they were hidden in a corner, near the restrooms.
’How pathetic!’
’Is men’s spending power really that low?’
Lin Feng felt a bit resigned. Even Yang Qiniang and the others looked a little awkward.
Most of the clothes Yang Qiniang usually wore were bought for him by his mom or by Yang Qingqing on their shopping trips.
So he had no idea whether this mall even had any men’s clothing stores.
Luckily, Lin Feng wasn’t picky about clothes.
He just wanted to spend money, pick up some necessities, and increase his system’s Experience Points.
It was a win-win-win situation, so why not?
...
They picked one of the stores at random and went inside.
After browsing for a bit, Lin Feng noticed a problem: the clothes were all a bit old-fashioned.
They weren’t quite suitable for a guy his age.
It made sense. After all, men tend to have the most money when they’re young adults or middle-aged.
Guys like him who were still in college usually didn’t have much money.
Just then, Yang Qingqing volunteered and picked out a polo shirt for Lin Feng.
A glance at the price tag showed it was over three thousand.
But it looked great on him.
Lin Feng was six feet tall, and fresh from military training, his well-defined muscles filled out the shirt perfectly.
Watching Lin Feng come out of the fitting room, Yang Qingqing nodded with great satisfaction.
Then she turned to Yang Qiniang and said, "Brother, look at Lin Feng! He has such a great build—the type who looks lean in clothes but is ripped underneath!"
"Now look at you. You’re so young and you’ve already got a potbelly. Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?"
Facing the constant digs from his own sister, Yang Qiniang just rolled his eyes.
Then he remarked, "I’m not just saying this, Old Lin, but your physique is insane!"
"If I were a girl, even I’d be falling for you!"
"So what do you say? Wanna give it a shot?"
"We could totally make it work!"
Seeing Yang Qiniang’s lecherous grin, Lin Feng looked at him with utter disgust.
"Get lost!"
"I’m not into guys!"
Lin Feng shut him down flatly.
"Don’t be like that, Old Lin!"
"Look, let me do the math for you."
Yang Qiniang, not ready to give up, pressed on. "You’ve got money, I’ve got money. If we got together, it would be a union of powerhouses!"
"We could hit up the internet cafe for games during the day and grab late-night barbecue at night, and we’d both be paying our own way!"
"We could even treat our roommates and have a full five-man squad."
"Why should we bother finding girlfriends just to let them spend our money?"
"Right?"
Lin Feng was left completely speechless by Yang Qiniang’s bizarre logic.
’Other rich heirs are always thinking about how to spend their money on chasing girls.’
’But when it comes to you, all you can think about is how to stop women from spending your money?’
’Looks like his sister has really done a number on him!’
’He’s even got PTSD from it!’
’Still, that theory of his... actually made a damn bit of sense. Instead of letting a woman spend his money, why not spend it on himself and have a good time?’
At this moment, Yang Qingqing couldn’t take it anymore.
She shot Yang Qiniang an exasperated glare. His comments were obviously a dig at her.
Su Ruoxi, on the other hand, had been standing quietly to the side.
She gave Lin Feng a once-over, then turned and headed for the pants section.
"Ruoxi, wait for me."
Seeing this, Yang Qingqing also hurried to follow.
"Where are they going?"
Yang Qiniang looked at Lin Feng in confusion.
"How would I know."
Lin Feng waved his hand dismissively.
A moment later, the two of them walked back, each holding a pair of pants.
"Try these on."
Su Ruoxi handed the pants to Lin Feng, her expression as cool as ever.
’So that’s why she was so quiet. She went to pick out pants for me!’
Seeing this, Lin Feng didn’t know what to say.
But when he turned his head, he saw Yang Qiniang with a cheeky grin. "Ooh, Old Lin, something’s going on here!"
As he spoke, he even waggled his eyebrows suggestively.
Lin Feng ignored him and looked back at Su Ruoxi.
"Go try them on."
"They should go well with that shirt!"
Su Ruoxi added.
Lin Feng nodded and walked into the fitting room.
It had to be said, Su Ruoxi had excellent taste.
The pants she had chosen for him not only flattered his figure perfectly, but they also complemented the shirt.
After changing into the pants, Lin Feng’s whole look was elevated.
At least he no longer looked as shabby as before.
