"Let me try it for you." Li Ke helped Li Zhaokun roll up his shirt to reveal his back. He placed the two patches on his back and turned on the switch. "How does it feel?"
"Itchy and numb, but it works." Li Zhaokun nodded in satisfaction. "This thing is really good."
Liu Shan and the others had the same expression as Pan Ying. Spending more than ten thousand yuan to buy this thing? Was there something wrong with his brain?
But looking at Li Lan and Li Ke's serious expressions, it did not seem like they were scammed. They just could not understand.
Chen Dadi was old and wise, but he knew what he was doing. He walked out of the room and saw Li Lan following him. He smiled and said, "Which shop is it? Let me know. I'll tell them to close in the afternoon."
He had the confidence to do so.
"It's not far from here." Li Lan gave him the address. "Thank you, Uncle Chen."
His attitude was clear. He did not care about the money, but he could not be a fool.
"This kind of scammer needs to be taught a lesson. Otherwise, they will continue to scam others." Chen Dadi smiled. "Alright, I'll take care of this. You don't have to worry about it."
The weather was hot, and no one went out. They watched TV in the room for a while.
When the sun was about to set, Chen Dadi knocked on the door and came in. "Are you going to the Expo Garden now?"
"Then let's go." Li Zhaokun woke up in a daze. At this moment, he was bored to death.
The staff had already arranged for the car to enter the Pudong Expo Garden through a special tunnel. Once they got out of the car, Chen Dadi gave everyone a badge. "Wear it around your neck. You don't need to line up to enter the national pavilions. Take the VIP passage. Don't lose it, or the guards will stop you.
There were many people in the Expo Garden. There was a long line in front of each national pavilion.
"Follow me." Li Ke did not ask Li Zhaokun what he wanted to see. He would not get any answers anyway. Whatever her father liked, he could just bring it there.
Li Zhaokun did not care about high-tech, humanities, and sustainable development, so Li Ke did not bring him to the China Pavilion, the American Pavilion, the French Pavilion, or the Japanese Pavilion. Instead, he went straight to the cheerful African Pavilion.
Naturally, Li Zhaokun could not feel any strong African culture or exotic atmosphere. At most, he was a little curious about the special musical instrument performance show, the sculpture show, and the hair-braiding show.
The African Joint Pavilion was a lively bazaar. Despite the language barrier, Li Zhaokun still asked a lot of questions. Anyway, Li Ke was proficient in French and English, so he could translate in time.
Li Zhaokun bought whatever he saw. He was generous with his money. As for the staff, he naturally answered whatever they asked without any hint of impatience.
The one who was really having a hard time was Li Ke. He followed behind until his mouth was dry. Of course, Li Lan, who was helping to carry the big and small bags, was also having a hard time.
The Africa Pavilion was very large. It was not easy to walk around it.
After leaving the Africa Pavilion, Li Lan received a call from Liu Shan and the others. They had finished visiting the French Pavilion and the American Pavilion.
"Are we going back?" Pan Ying asked Li Ke, but in fact, he was asking Li Zhaokun.
Li Zhaokun said, "Let's go back. It's not that interesting."
He was also very tired.
They had just returned to the hotel when Wu Shuping came.
"I wanted to come up earlier, but I was delayed by a meeting. What do you want to eat tonight? It's my treat."
"Auntie Wu, you're welcome. We don't have anything important to do, so we don't want to hold you up." Li Lan did not want to trouble others. Moreover, he knew that others treated him well because of his father. He did not like fake friendships.
"You're still being polite with me?" Wu Shuping turned her head and said to Li Zhaokun, "Uncle Li, let me help you. Let's go downstairs."
"I'm not paralyzed yet." Li Zhaokun insisted on not letting anyone help him and went downstairs by himself.
The dinner wasn't held at the Four Seas Hotel, but at a very special restaurant in our sect.
At the dining table, Li Lan, He Zhou, and the others were not used to local food. It was too sweet and a little greasy. In order not to embarrass Wu Shuping, they symbolically moved their chopsticks a few times.
Pan Ying and Li Ke ate with relish. Li Zhaokun did not mind either. Not only could he not smoke or drink, but he was also very particular about his diet. No matter what kind of restaurant he went to, he would eat porridge, light food, and fruits.
He was just short of eating grass.
"Hi, sorry, there's a bit of traffic." Halfway through the meal, a girl in her twenties pushed the door open and greeted everyone. Then, she sat beside Li Ke. "I haven't seen you in a long time."
"This is my girl." Wu Shuping stood up. "You're about the same age. Get to know each other and be friends in the future."
"Hello everyone, my name is She Ziling," the girl said generously. "You can call me Xiaoling."
Then, she extended her hand to He Zhou, who was sitting next to her.
"Hello, He Zhou." He Zhou stood up and extended his hand out of politeness.
Wu Shuping said, "This is from your Auntie Zhaodi."
"Liu Yao." As soon as She Ziling got close to him, he immediately sneezed and said awkwardly, "Sorry."
"I never spray perfume on my body …" She Ziling sniffed herself and did not notice anything out of the ordinary.
Pan Ying smiled. "He's allergic to perfume. We always joke with him. In the future, when he finds a girlfriend, he must not find someone who knows how to put on makeup."
"Try your hair after you just washed it?" Wu Shuping touched her daughter's fluffy hair. "This is from your Uncle Liu Si's family."
"Yeah, I just washed it. I'm really sorry." She Ziling laughed heartily. "What do you use to wash your hair every day?"
Did she not wash her hair every day?
Liu Shan said, "The shampoo and shower gel that I buy don't contain any essence."
He was allergic to perfume since he was young, but his parents did not understand. Before he entered high school, he had always used sulfur soap to wash his hair. His hair was not smooth, so he cut it bald in order to be more nimble.
Even though his grades were always good, he had never been favored by girls because of his image.
"Alright, sit down." Pan Ying smiled. "I don't need to introduce myself, do I?"
Whenever it was a holiday, her father would take her around, and she had met She Ziling several times.
"I don't mind if you introduce yourself again." She Ziling poured herself a glass of wine. "Let me toast everyone."
Everyone raised their glasses.
After drinking, Wu Shuping volunteered to send Li Zhaokun back first so that Li Lan and the others could have some fun near the Bund.
