Chapter 228: Chapter 228
She and her brother were both orphans, making ends meet by working part-time jobs while studying, so saving money was not an easy task for her and Rong Kuo back then.
Rong Qingqing retyped "silver jewelry" into the search box.
This time, Rong Qingqing was much more satisfied with what popped up.
Feeling enthusiastic, Rong Qingqing set the price range to 90 to 100, then started happily selecting.
"Shen Jue, do you think these earrings are cute? Retro green, like a button, with a white rabbit in the center."
Rong Qingqing said this as she lifted Shen Jue’s phone, shoving it right up into his face.
Shen Jue instinctively leaned back, reaching out to clasp Rong Qingqing’s wrist, pushed it forward, and glanced at the phone, then let out a "hmm".
If it were anyone else, they’d likely be lying outside awaiting an ambulance.
Rong Qingqing shook her wrist and, once Shen Jue let go, she sat up and added the retro green rabbit sterling silver earrings to the shopping cart.
Scrolling further down, her eyes lit up.
"Look quickly! These persimmon earrings are so cute!"
Rong Qingqing once again extended the phone over, "Look, orange-red persimmons. I think I pair even more than the last one."
"Do you like eating persimmons?" Shen Jue asked, frowning.
"Persimmons are delicious, and persimmon cakes are even better!" Rong Qingqing replied without much thought.
She checked the price—98 with free shipping.
Rong Qingqing clicked her tongue, opened the chat with customer service, and started bargaining.
She sent a straightforward message—Boss, will you sell for 100 with free shipping? If you do, I’ll buy it right away!
The customer service quickly replied with a string of question marks, asking Rong Qingqing if she had read the price wrong.
Rong Qingqing stole a glance at Shen Jue, who was watching her, then slowly turned her back to him, shielding the phone from his view.
Only then did she continue bargaining with customer service.
I know you sell it for 98, but I like the number 100. Will you sell for 100? If you do, I’ll place an order, and you can change the price for me to pay!
Shen Jue clicked his tongue, a faint smile curving his lips.
Could he not know what Rong Qingqing was doing with her back turned?
He had seen her bargaining message as soon as she sent it. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱
What a courageous woman, not afraid of being called crazy.
In fact, the customer service didn’t curse her out and, remarkably, Rong Qingqing persuaded them to close the deal.
After the customer service adjusted the price, Rong Qingqing hit pay and then quietly slid back to Shen Jue, handing the phone to him, "I’ve chosen; go ahead and pay."
Shen Jue accepted it, entered the password, and the order showed as successful.
"Want anything else?" Shen Jue handed the phone back.
Rong Qingqing shook her head, lying back down.
Shen Jue said nothing, retracting his hand, but after a moment of thought, he reminded Rong Qingqing.
"Rong Qingqing, if I recall correctly, you’re mildly allergic to persimmons. If you still want to look good, it’s best not to test your limits."
Lying in bed, Rong Qingqing’s heart skipped a beat.
The original owner was mildly allergic to persimmons?
She didn’t know that.
No wonder Shen Jue was giving her a strange look just now.
He was probably thinking only she would dare to do something so reckless, knowing she’s allergic to persimmons yet still likes them so much.
"Got it." Rong Qingqing quickly responded, noticing Shen Jue about to leave, she hurriedly added, "Shen Jue, goodnight! Tell Qiaoqiao I’ll teach her homework tomorrow; I need to rest tonight."
"Remember, tomorrow evening we’re attending Chairman Zhao and Mrs. Zhao’s anniversary." Shen Jue reminded Rong Qingqing, then said, "Well, goodnight."
"Completed the daily goodnight task, life extended by five hours!"
"New task completed, life extended by five hours! Total life remaining 121.5 hours!"
