After putting the car in the warehouse, Lin Yi locked the door.
He rode his bicycle towards the nearest mall.
The first thing he had to do now was to quickly buy a phone. Otherwise, it was inconvenient to keep using cash in this era of scanning QR codes.
As for the one at home, Lin Yi believed that his mother would not let him get it before the college entrance examination…
In the iPhone store, Lin Yi waved his hand and interrupted the salesperson's introduction. He directly pointed at the latest phone at the counter and said, "Alright, there's no need to introduce them to me. I'll take the iPhone 12. Give me two white ones."
After saying that, Lin Yi reached out and handed the bank card in his pocket to the salesperson.
Lin Yi's actions stunned the salesperson. She did not expect this handsome young man to be so straightforward and directly ask for two.
This second one was definitely bought for his girlfriend. Sigh, what a pity that such a rich kid was already taken…
A few minutes later, Lin Yi walked out of the store with two bags.
After coming out, he turned and walked into a mobile business hall beside the mall.
After walking in, the shop was empty. Apart from a bald middle-aged man doing business, there was no one else.
Seeing this, Lin Yi did not queue up and directly walked over to the salesperson inside.
"Hello, please apply for two phone cards for me."
Looking up at Lin Yi who was walking over, his eyes immediately lit up. His originally impatient expression because of the bald middle-aged man's chat instantly turned into a smile.
"Handsome, give me your ID card. Pick your number from the computer beside you. You can choose any number you like."
Lin Yi smiled at the salesperson and took out his identity card to hand to her before walking to the computer.
When the bald middle-aged man doing business over there saw that the female salesperson who ignored him was so gentle to Lin Yi, who looked like a student, he was immediately unhappy.
He could not help but complain in his mind, 'What's the use of looking good? In this society, money is the king! What else can such a gigolo do other than live off a woman?'
He was very unhappy. Now that he saw that Lin Yi wanted to choose a number, the bald middle-aged man strolled over to watch the commotion. At the same time, he wanted to step on this poor student and let that young salesperson know the truth that money was everything!
Seeing the middle-aged man walk over, Lin Yi nodded and smiled politely at him before ignoring him. After all, it was a tradition for people to watch the commotion.
Little did he know that at this moment, he had already been implicated for no reason because of his handsome appearance…
Looking at the computer screen, Lin Yi's gaze was attracted by a string of numbers on the computer.
"These Chinese mobile phone numbers are free for you to choose from! 188XX00000! More beautiful numbers are waiting for you!"
"Heh, this number is good. It's cool and easy to remember."
Although he knew that such a number would definitely not be easily obtained, Lin Yi was really tempted.
He could be considered to have a small status now, and his future was even more limitless. It was not a big deal to get a better number. He was just going to spend a little more.
However, as soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, a disdainful voice sounded beside him.
"Heh, you think it's cool? You really dare to say anything. Kid, this number is not something poor students like you can use. Do you know what this number means? It means money! Let me tell you, to get this number, it should at least cost this much!"
As he spoke, the bald middle-aged man directly stretched out a finger. Then, before Lin Yi could speak, he continued to explain.
"This is not a thousand, it's a million! Just this number is at least worth a million! Not to mention this number, just my number with 4444 in it cost me more than $20,000."
He glanced at the bald middle-aged man who felt good about himself from the corner of his eye. Lin Yi only had one sentence in his mind: Idiots are appearing every year, but there are too many this year! Why are there such arrogant idiots everywhere? Did I provoke you? Are you using me to find a sense of existence?
However, Lin Yi ignored this guy in disdain. He was just a fool.
He directly opened the page and immediately, phone numbers that had three or four of the same digits appeared in front of Lin Yi.
Seeing this scene, the bald middle-aged man shook his head in disdain. Then, he ignored Lin Yi and strolled back to the chair opposite the salesperson.
"Sigh, the young people nowadays are getting worse with each generation. Without money, they still can't recognize the cruelty of reality…"
Looking at Lin Yi, he quickly locked his gaze on the two numbers on the computer screen.
"Heh, isn't this a coincidence? It's you!"
As he spoke, Lin Yi's fingers quickly tapped. Soon, two numbers appeared alone on the screen of the computer.
"188XXX66666: Reservation cost: $16,666. Minimum monthly spending: $1,666 for five consecutive years."
"188XXX99999: Reservation cost: $159,999. Minimum monthly spending: $1,599 for five consecutive years."
Looking at the two rows of numbers on the screen, Lin Yi could not help but clench his teeth. A phone card actually cost $160,000. They really dared to extort!
However, looking at these two numbers, Lin Yi finally gritted his teeth and bought them!
With this in mind, Lin Yi raised his head and said to the salesperson, "I've chosen the numbers. What should I do next?"
The female salesperson who was printing a copy of her ID looked up at Lin Yi's handsome face and smiled.
"There's a confirmation option under the number. I can see it from my side after you click."
Hearing this, Lin Yi directly clicked confirm according to the salesperson.
However, the bald middle-aged man at the counter raised his eyebrows and said in a mocking tone, "Oh, you're done choosing so quickly. What, did you choose the number with 6666 or 9999?"
Hearing this, the salesperson at the counter could not help but frown. 'What does the young man choosing his number have to do with an old guy like you? Stop trying to get others' attention!'
At this moment, Lin Yi had already walked over. He looked at the disdainful middle-aged man and said indifferently, "Heh heh, I don't have the 'money' like you. You actually chose '4444' for your phone number. Heh heh, don't tell me your car has this number too?"
When the bald middle-aged man heard Lin Yi's words, he was immediately interested. Without caring if he was saying good things, he stuck out his huge stomach and said proudly, "Heh, you saw it? That's right, the large Accord with '444' on the license plate at the door is my car."
