Chapter 86: Chapter 86 I’ll Take This One, Bro!
Wang Hao strolled through the neighborhood, humming a tune as he walked.
What good thing might he encounter today? Could a pie fall from the sky?
No sooner had he thought it than something fell with a splat just two meters ahead. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed a pie!
Wang Hao cursed as he looked up: “Damn, who’s so careless?! Throwing things from heights is dangerous, you know?”
Damn it, think of a pie and a pie falls. My phone’s broken; maybe a phone will fall next?
Well, that didn’t work. But even if a good phone did fall from above, it would have broken anyway—off to buy a bed then!
He hopped on Bus No. 213 and headed straight for a large furniture market nearby. He had no choice; the real big furniture market in Zhonghai City was in the city center, but all he needed was the cheapest single bed, so no need to go that far when the principle of proximity served well.
Three stops later, he got off and was stunned as soon as he reached the entrance of the furniture market!
A sea of people! All older men and women in their forties and fifties! What was going on? Was there a move today? No, wait, he was supposed to be lucky today. His intuition told him something good was happening here!
Without a second thought, he marched inside. Today he was invincible, pushing through people as if they were mere obstacles.
He strutted confidently, but before he’d gone fifty meters, a fragrant breeze wafted from behind, followed by a sensation of something soft. A pair of tender hands covered his eyes!
Those hands smelled delightful, so pleasant!
As if that wasn’t enough, Wang Hao then felt a kiss smack onto his face!
Damn, that felt good!
Whose bold sister was this, so proactive, enthusiastic, and unrestrained?!
He loved this kind of thing!
“Guess who I am?!” The girl asked with a giggle.
How was he supposed to guess?
“It’s Sister Lin!” Wang Hao picked a random answer—it must be Sister Lin falling from the sky! Was today the day to use Mr. Du hidden in his pocket?!
“Wrong answer; I won’t talk to you now!” The girl let go, frustrated. Wang Hao turned around, and their eyes met …
“Who are you?!” “Who are you?!” They asked in unison.
The girl with short hair was pretty, but honestly, he didn’t recognize her …
“Sorry, wrong person!” The girl blushed profusely, covered her face, then turned and ran!
Damn, he really was unbeatable today! A girl fell from the sky and kissed him out of the blue! And she even mistook him for someone else! Could it be because he was wearing the same clothes as someone else today?!
Wiping away the lipstick mark from his face, Wang Hao was beyond thrilled!
Once inside the furniture mall, Wang Hao finally understood why it was so crowded today!
There was a prize draw!
A huge red sign was placed in the center of the hall. Fifth prize: a bedsheet; fourth prize: a pillow; third prize: an electric cooker; second prize: a microwave oven, and the grand prize: a smartphone!
Holy shit, I love you, boss! How did you know I just broke my phone!
This was meant for him! Just recently, he was puzzled about how a phone could possibly fall from the sky; turns out this was how!
Quickly he checked the prize draw rules—every two hundred yuan spent gets a barrel of soybean oil, and spending over three hundred yuan grants an additional chance to draw!
Heh heh, not bad, that’s the spirit!
Time to pick a phone… pick a bed!
He made a beeline for the furniture section, and quickly reached the bed sales area. Oh dear, these were all high-end goods; any random bed cost three or four thousand yuan! Hmm, this bed’s not bad, good-looking—but unaffordable! That bed’s also nice, high-end—still unaffordable…
Ah, these beds are cheap, single beds, made of wood, simple and practical!
He swiftly made his pick!
Wang Hao took a liking to a single wooden bed in no time when a salesperson approached him: “Good morning, sir, are you looking to purchase a bed?”
“Yeah, just looking,” said Wang Hao as he inspected a folding bed, the right size at 1.2 meters wide and 2 meters long. “How much for this bed?”
The salesperson checked the model and said, “Sir, you really have an eye for quality. This pine wood single folding bed is on special offer today and is selling very well. The price is two hundred eighty-eight yuan, made from pure pine. If it’s for someone of your build, it can support over ten people standing on it without any problem—very sturdy.”
Good, sturdiness is key. His previous bed wasn’t sturdy and nearly killed him!
Wang Hao nodded, “The bed’s good, just a bit too cheap…”
Wang Hao asked, “Do you have something a bit pricier?”
He was No Shortage of Money, didn’t they get it? A mere two eighty-eight? What a joke! It had to be at least three hundred and up!
The salesperson caught on right away, with a smile she said, “Sir, are you interested in the prize draw?” Meanwhile, she thought to herself—another sucker, what are the odds of winning without losing a fortune?
“Yeah,” Wang Hao nodded, “I came for the phone!”
Trying not to laugh, the salesperson said, “Of course, I believe sir will have great luck today. Please follow me.”
Wang Hao followed the salesperson onward: “Definitely, recommend me another one.”
The salesperson covered her mouth and giggled, “Of course, sir. Take a look at this one.” She pointed to a folding bed of the same style: “This pine wood single folding bed is also a hot seller today, priced at three hundred eight yuan. It’s solid pine, and just like before, it can support over ten people with someone of your stature, very sturdy.”
That sounded vaguely familiar, didn’t it?
Curious, Wang Hao asked, “What’s the difference between this one and the one you showed me before?”
“Yes, sir,” the salesperson replied seriously, “this bed is priced at three hundred eight yuan, which is the exact amount you need for the prize draw.”
Good price, the classier the better! Three oh eight, isn’t that lucky? Ever heard of class, huh?!
Wang Hao asked, “Besides the price, is there anything else different?”
The salesperson answered, “No, sir.”
So you’re saying this is a premium product specifically for the prize draw, right?
Heh, no need to pretend; I’m buying this one. I came today just for that smartphone!
