Chapter 1102: Chapter 626: Keeping a Trump Card Hidden
Outside the fruit shop, by the deserted roadside.
Ma Shicheng calmly looked at Li Shi, this female classmate comes from a family as wealthy as Qi Tianheng’s, with a haughty and cold demeanor and a stubborn streak in her bones.
With a little guidance, greater benefits could certainly be gained.
As for whether it’s somewhat despicable to outsmart a girl? Ma Shicheng didn’t care.
As Li Shi expressionlessly mentioned a price four times higher, Wang Longlong, who saw through Brother Ma’s intentions, knew when to stop and immediately played the role of the good guy:
"How about this, let’s all take a step back, and these fruits will go to..."
Before he could finish, Zhang Chi, sensitive to money and somewhat of a gambler, flashed a cold gleam in his eyes.
People like Li Shi, these second-generation rich kids, are usually generous and lack intelligence!
You seek wealth through danger!
He raised his head, attempting to look down on Li Shi with a condescending demeanor, but unfortunately, Li Shi was almost as tall as him.
For effect, Zhang Chi stood on tiptoe:
"Four times the price, what a joke!"
He shook his head and made a gesture: "I’ll offer 8 times the price, please buy elsewhere."
After speaking, Zhang Chi gave Hu Jun and the others a reassuring look.
Who knew, after hearing this, Li Shi said: "Alright, deal."
She stretched out her hand, her charming face carrying a sly expression: "Pay up."
Zhang Chi’s face suddenly changed dramatically.
The originally cheerful trading atmosphere was instantly disrupted by Zhang Chi, making Wang Longlong feel suffocated.
Good-for-nothing who can ruin things but not succeed!
Ma Shicheng stood out and reprimanded him: "Who are you? What business do you have here?"
Zhang Chi pretended not to know them, awkwardly said: "Hahaha, I thought it was fun when I heard you, so I just tried to place a bid."
"You guys enjoy, I’m leaving now."
After saying this, Zhang Chi quickly made his escape.
Li Shi looked at Hu Jun again and said two words: "Double price."
Ma Shicheng: "Deal."
At noon, they didn’t return to the dormitory but gathered and went to Ma Shicheng’s rental place.
Because Li Shi bought half of the cherries at double the price, it was as though Hu Jun didn’t spend any money.
He then went to Juewei Duck Neck and bought more than 200 yuan worth of marinated snacks, duck necks, duck intestine, dried tofu sticks, edamame, and so on, and also got Coca-Cola and Sprite, preparing to have a joyful gathering with his brothers.
Ma Shicheng was renting in a dilapidated neighborhood nearby, on the third floor, with a one-bedroom, one-living-room layout, and a monthly rent of five hundred, paid for with the money he earned from doing surrogate gaming.
The few of them sat on the sofa and benches, drinking Coke and eating marinated snacks. Guo Kunnan sighed: "It’s great to have money!"
Wang Longlong: "Of course."
"If Li Shi were my girlfriend, wouldn’t I never have to worry about food and drink?" Guo Kunnan fantasized, thinking Li Shi was good-looking and so rich.
Hu Jun: "Yes, rich women are attractive."
Hearing Brother Nan’s words, even Dan Kaiquan couldn’t help but laugh: "Come on, do you think she’d ever consider you?"
Guo Kunnan had a lot of self-awareness at this moment, lamenting: "Indeed, with that much money, we ordinary people simply can’t bring her happiness."
Dan Kaiquan, from his experience pursuing Bai Yuxia, had gained a lot of insights: "What you have, she might not even care about."
Hu Jun: "You save up for a month, buy a 500 yuan cosmetic for her, and she uses the ones that cost thousands."
Guo Kunnan: "We’re not on the same level."
Ma Shicheng picked up a duck foot: "It’s not that outrageous, just a rich girl after all."
Guo Kunnan: "Brother Ma, you say it lightly, anyway, I can’t imagine what kind of person could actually win her over."
Hu Jun: "Someone handsome, richer than her, more capable than her."
Ma Shicheng cheerfully said: "If we go by Lu Qiqi’s standards, you’d also have to provide her with emotional value."
"However, according to Cui Yu’s perspective, it’s very simple, just hit her on the head on her way home with a stick and bag over her."
Guo Kunnan was stunned, was Yu Zi’s thought that dangerous?
Ma Shicheng concluded: "No matter how wealthy she is, she’s just an ordinary person like us, our people don’t have the concept of inherent status differences, even wealth cannot act with impunity, if you go out for barbecue at night, you still have to back away if you run into punks."
Wang Longlong: "That’s true, there’s no difference in the levels of life, they too will experience birth, aging, sickness, and death."
"And if it weren’t for Zhang Chi, she wouldn’t have obediently paid four times the price to buy Brother Jun’s cherries?"
At that moment, Hu Jun’s phone rang. He took it out to look; it was a call from Zhang Chi.
Dan Kaiquan cursed: "Got so caught up in having fun, forgot to deal with him!"
"I’ll take it."
He took the phone, intending to tell Zhang Chi to stay away and not cause trouble.
Hu Jun said: "It’s too late."
Dan Kaiquan was puzzled, and as soon as he touched the phone, the ringing stopped, and he didn’t manage to pick up.
Dan Kaiquan was in a daze.
Hu Jun said: "Zhang Chi is stingy, unwilling to spend on phone fees, the phone rings only twice, most people can’t pick up his call."
...
In the afternoon, the wind picked up by the river dam.
Xue Yuantong sat sideways on the electric scooter, her two slim legs gently swinging, and she wore a red scarf that made her little face look as white as snow.
"Hehe, Chuchu’s mother said she would treat us to a meal tomorrow at noon."
Jiang Ning held the handlebars, slightly slowing down to make the ride last a little longer: "Why the sudden invitation?"
Recently, he had been focusing on studying the Array and with a highly concentrated Divine Sense, he hadn’t extended it to Chuchu’s house.
"Chuchu’s mother said you’ve often given Chuchu food, and she feels bad about it, so she plans to cook some dishes to entertain you." Xue Yuantong looked delighted, "Auntie works in the procurement department of Evergreen Liquid, and I heard she spent money to buy some rare ingredients."
"Alright, we won’t go to the cafeteria at noon tomorrow." Jiang Ning said.
Chuchu’s mother’s invitation should be accepted, otherwise with Chuchu’s sensitivity, she might start overthinking again.

Yu Wen’s expression was melancholic, after launching numerous attacks on Huang Zhongfei, all were deflected.
