"It's a total of 102 yuan, I'll round off the 2 yuan. Thank you for your patronage."
After the salesperson finished speaking, she stared at me intently.
Actually, it's fine if I pay. Let's not talk about anything else, I already owe Xiao Qin a few thousand dollars for copying the Bible.
But the salesperson wouldn't know the inside story. If I paid without saying anything, it would confirm that I was Xiao Qin's boyfriend.
So I made a sour face towards the salesperson.
Meaning: "What are you looking at! I'm not this crazy girl's boyfriend, I'm just a normal classmate! Ask her for the money for the bra herself! "
The salesperson didn't avoid my gaze at all and glared back fiercely, as if to say: "You're not even willing to spend 100 yuan, what girlfriend are you having? Stop talking nonsense and pay up! If you don't pay, your girlfriend will lose face! "
I suddenly understood why Shu Zhe always felt like he didn't have enough money to spend.
It turns out that a boyfriend is not only a laborer, but also an ATM!
While I was hesitating, I felt someone poke my thigh with the tip of their finger.
Who else could it be? He lowered his head slightly and saw that Xiao Qin was pretending to be looking in another direction. She was holding a shopping bag in one hand and holding a piece of paper that had been folded several times in the other. On the paper was the picture of Chairman Mao that everyone in the country loved.
Using the cover of the counter, she tried to secretly pass the paper to me from an angle where the salesperson couldn't see.
Why are you doing this! Are you worried that I don't have money and it would be embarrassing to be stared at by the salesperson? Since you're so worried, why don't you just give the money to the salesperson, why do you have to pass it through my hands!
Do you really want me to pay for you (even if it's from your wallet)? Even if the salesperson mistakenly thinks you're my girlfriend, what good will it do you? Do you think it's a vote? Once there are enough people supporting you, you'll really become my girlfriend?
Seeing that I ignored her Chairman Mao, Xiao Qin looked up at the sky and whistled. In order to attract my attention, she pinched the corner of the bill and waved it slightly. For some reason, the movement reminded me of a carp waving its pelvic fins.
Don't be stupid! I won't accept it! It's not that I can't bear to spend money on you. What I'm worried about is what other people will think of me after I spend money on you!
Suddenly, I remembered the black credit card that Ai Mi once gave me.
I haven't used it in such a long time, I almost forgot about it … Let me look for it, it's still in my wallet!
He might as well use this card! If that's the case, then it's not me spending money for you, it's Ai Mi paying you for copying the Bible.
Speaking of which, this card felt really cold to the touch! What kind of metal was it made of?
I handed the credit card to the salesperson. She was obviously stunned and turned it over in her hand several times.
What? Haven't you seen it before? With so many people coming and going in this shopping mall, there should be a lot of credit cards going through their hands, right?
Xiao Qin was a bit surprised when she saw me take out my credit card. Then, she put the Chairman Mao she had been fiddling with back into her pocket.
The expression on her face was a little embarrassed, but it was quickly replaced by sweet happiness.
Don't misunderstand! I'm just giving you a salary! I don't want anything to do with you! Not even financial relationships!
At this time, the salesperson had already swiped the card on the terminal. She frowned and took out a pen for me to sign.
Ah, I was careless. Although credit cards don't need a password, they do need to be verified and signed. Whose name should I sign!
Should I sign Ai Mi's name? Or did she use Ai Mi 'er's stage name when she made this card? Moreover, her signature should be in English, right?
I remember Ai Mi said that her mother helped make this card, so should I actually sign her mother's name? Where would I get to know her mother!
She's so forgetful! Ai Mi is definitely a pig of a teammate! What should I do now!
I suddenly remembered that Xing Xing once told me that China doesn't have strict verification of credit card signatures. Once, when he was buying something, he deliberately signed "Big Bad Wolf" and it actually passed.
Okay, since it's like this, I'll also use a pen! What should I sign with a pen? I'll just write Adidas! Because some of the sports equipment were Adidas, this was one of the few English words that I could remember!
Just as I was about to act according to the plan, the phone on the counter rang.
The salesperson skillfully picked up the phone, "Hello, this is Fiery Bird Underwear Store …"
After a few words with the person on the other end of the phone, the salesperson's expression changed.
"It's for you." The salesperson doubtfully handed the phone to me. I also doubtfully received it.
"Hello?"
A middle-aged man's deep and steady voice came from the phone.
"Please forgive me for taking the liberty to ask: Did you pick up this credit card?"
Eh? Is it the bank that issued this credit card? Could it be that because I wanted to forge a signature, he called me directly? That's not right! I was just thinking about it in my head, there's no fait accompli yet. It seems like your terminal also has the function of a lie detector! Isn't your black technology a little too OP?!
"I am the commissioner of American Express in charge of China. My surname is Wang, you can call me commissioner Wang. Please forgive me if my guess is wrong. But, according to my conversation with the salesperson, the person who came with you shouldn't be Miss Ai Mi 'er, right? "
"If you accidentally picked up this card, please wait for 15 minutes. We will send someone to retrieve it. I hope you can cooperate with our work."
Although he used honorifics when speaking, but that kind of flat statement and matter-of-fact tone made me very unhappy.
"Hey, why do you say I picked up this card? If I don't cooperate, what can you do to me? "
Commissioner Wang was silent for a moment.
"Sir, the credit card you used is not a normal credit card. It is an American Express black card that only very few successful people can use. Some people also call it the 'King of Cards'. It is not something that just anyone can use. We must select the qualifications and take the initiative to send out an invitation — — so we have a comprehensive grasp of the customer's information."
The implication is that because he doesn't know me, I can't be the owner of the credit card.
"Even if it's Miss Ai Mi 'er, she can't completely satisfy the invitation requirements with her own strength. She was able to obtain the right to use this card because we considered her mother."
"The conditions are so harsh, the card holder will naturally enjoy better treatment. As long as you have it, no matter where you are in the world, you will enjoy our meticulous service. Of course, you must be a legal user … "
I suddenly realized that the reason why commissioner Wang told me so much was actually to stall for time.
But because I didn't pick up or steal this card, I wasn't particularly worried. Instead, I had the mentality of watching a show.
After a while, dozens of strong men would surround me, only to find out that I had come here for nothing. Wouldn't that be quite comedic?
So compared to the bank thugs that will soon arrive, I was more interested in the value of this credit card.
I covered the phone receiver and asked the salesperson who was stunned for a while:
"What is an American Express black card? Have you encountered it before? "
The salesperson blinked as if she had just woken up from a dream. The cold card was still in her hand.
"Really … is it really an American Express black card? I've only heard about it before, I've never seen it with my own eyes … even among the Hong Kong movie stars, it seems that only Liang Chaowei has ever used it … "
She held her breath and examined the black card again. Her focused eyes were like Gollum looking at the Lord of the Rings.
"It's really cold to the touch. I heard it was made of titanium …"
The salesperson said in a dreamy tone.
Suddenly, she was stunned. She probably remembered that I might not be the legal owner of this card. Maybe I will be taken away later?
"Ye Lin classmate, what's the matter? Is there trouble? "
Xiao Qin tilted her head slightly and asked me.
"No problem, I can handle it!"
I replied, then picked up the receiver again.
"Hey, commissioner Wang, you did a good job stalling for time!"
The other party hesitated for a moment, "Sir, you are very smart, why do you do something stupid? Our staff will arrive in 5 minutes, please cooperate and hand the black card to them. I have already notified the Henderson Building's security. If you want to escape now, you will be intercepted. "
I glanced behind me with the corner of my eyes, and sure enough, there were two burly security guards in black clothes staring at my back.
The jokes were pretty much done, it seems that it's time to tell the truth. If I get beaten up for no reason later, it won't be worth it.
So I smiled and told commissioner Wang that the card was lent to me by Ai Mi, and he can call her phone if he doesn't believe me.
Maybe it was because the phone number I gave was the same as the one recorded in the customer information, commissioner Wang told me to wait for a while and contacted Ai Mi using another phone on his desk.
Although commissioner Wang tried his best to lower the volume and didn't want me to hear the conversation between him and Ai Mi, Ai Mi didn't cooperate at all. Her high-frequency sharp voice kept ringing, and I could feel the heat of her anger even from here.
Ai Mi gave commissioner Wang a torrent of abuse on the other end of the phone.
I could faintly hear a few sentences at a higher volume:
"I can lend my card to whoever I want! Why are you meddling in other people's business! I'll ask my mom to hire a lawyer to sue you! "
"Yes! I lent it to him! His name? Why don't you ask him yourself? Didn't you say the customer is paramount? Now that he's your customer, you can just serve him! "
"Who is he to me? … Probably a manservant, no, you can just think of him as my housekeeper! Ah! Damn, I have something urgent here, I can't talk to you anymore! "
"In short, no matter what he buys, just think of it as if he bought it for me! If your service isn't good, just wait to receive a subpoena! "
When commissioner Wang came back to talk to me, I could hear him licking his lips a few times on the other side of the phone.
"I'm sorry, sir, if it's convenient, can you tell us your name?"
I felt that it wasn't easy for him to be scolded by Ai Mi, so I didn't make things difficult for him and told him the truth.
"Thank you, your basic information has been entered into the computer. We will treat you as a customer with the same rights as Miss Ai Mi 'er and provide you with excellent service."
"In order for you to better enjoy the company's service, I'll give you a general explanation: The American Express Black Card does not have an overdraft limit, you can freely use it within the limits permitted by law, just sign your name when checking the signature. The company's customer service department is located all over the world, if you encounter any personal problems, you can ask them for help, we will do our best to meet your requirements. "
After he finished speaking, he gave me a phone number and told me to contact him directly when the time comes.
Because Ai Mi threatened to sue him, he was careful and apologized a lot to me. The mall's security was also quickly called away by the department manager, it seems that American Express is quite efficient.
In the end, I finally used the so-called "King of Cards" to buy a ¥100 bra for Xiao Qin.
Isn't it a bit of a waste, when the salesperson returned the card to me, she opened her mouth as if she used up all her strength.
After the money and goods were cleared, Xiao Qin happily walked out of the store with the shopping bag. She didn't seem to be interested in the American Express Black Card that has no overdraft limit and can be swiped to buy a plane. She didn't ask where I got it.
She just kept staring at the shopping bag in her arms, sometimes blushing, sometimes giggling, and immersed in her own world.
When I put the titanium alloy black card into my wallet, I couldn't help but think: Ai Mi really gave me something amazing!
Is it okay to casually give such a valuable card to people? Isn't she afraid that after I know there is no overdraft limit, I will buy an aircraft carrier and fly it around the Diaoyu Islands for fun?
She actually trusted me, a complete stranger, so it made me a bit embarrassed.
I secretly swore that I won't use this card to satisfy my own selfish desires. Today's action was only to give Xiao Qin her salary, and in the future, this card will only be used on matters related to Ai Mi.
It's not that I have a high level of awareness, I just feel that if I spend money on myself, as a person from the Celestial Empire, I will be looked down upon by American girls.
I don't know why, but I especially don't want to be looked down upon by Ai Mi, as if I have an important position in her heart.
After walking out of the Henderson Building, Xiao Qin giggled and asked if I could send her home. If I was willing to send her home, she would wear her new underwear for me to see.
