Lin Tang followed Gu Yingzhou inside to take a look, and indeed, it was more upscale than the state-owned stores.
"...See anything you like?" Gu Yingzhou asked, "Don't worry about coupons; I've saved up a lot."
It was only when he mentioned coupons that Lin Tang remembered the Friendship Store required foreign exchange coupons.
And she didn't have a single one!
Lin Tang felt defeated.
An era where having money but no coupons meant you couldn't buy anything...
Gu Yingzhou seemed to read the young girl's mind and directly pulled out a stack of bills and stuffed them into her hand.
"What's mine is yours. Didn't you say I'm the host? You wouldn't refuse to give face to me as the host, right?" the man said with a low chuckle.
Lin Tang, hearing Gu Yingzhou use her own words against her, had an expression that was a mix of laughter and tears.
A few steps away from them was a young married couple.
The woman smiled upon hearing Gu Yingzhou's words.
