Push Me Away When I Come, Don't Hold Me Back When I Leave - Chapter 174

Chapter 174: The Prepared “Prologue”

****

Xu Fengwu held the Samsung Galaxy S5 plus demo unit and looked at it for a long time, then looked at the specification sheet handed over by the clerk, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

As expected of Samsung, being able to make such a high-end phone so incredibly ugly didn’t disappoint her expectations.

“I’ll take this one,” Xu Fengwu said to the sales assistant with a satisfied smile.

“Uh… miss, are you serious?” The clerk couldn’t believe Xu Fengwu would say such things and blurted out something rather impolite. If this sale really went through, this would be one of the few S5 plus units sold in the store. After all, the S5 was already ugly enough that people who bought it felt ripped off after using it for a while, and with the more attractive Note 4 already on sale, not many people were eager to choose the S5 plus version. Those who liked to grab first releases wouldn’t come here to get one either.

“What do you mean?” Xu Fengwu’s expression suddenly turned cold, giving the clerk quite a scare.

After all, what clerk would speak to customers with such an attitude? Did they think she couldn’t afford it?

“I mean, if miss is interested in Samsung products, the Note 4 actually has better performance and looks better. That phone also sells better than the S5. If you’re interested, why don’t I bring it out for you to look at? I’m not trying to trick you, to be honest, I get a higher commission on the S5 plus, but…” Although she was a Samsung gold-level sales representative at the plus tier with a 15% commission rate, and poorly-selling models like the S5 plus even had a 22% commission, the extra money really wasn’t enough to make her want to trick such a cute young lady.

“No need, I’m buying it as a gift for someone, and it has to be ugly, ugly in such an artistic way perfectly meets my requirements,” Xu Fengwu said carelessly, her tone emphasizing a combination of foolishness and wealth, exactly the type that salespeople love most.

The clerk was even more confused. She really hadn’t intended to trick this somewhat “wasteful” young lady, but this young lady had said something that would leave her puzzled for a long time. Buying it as a gift? This young lady looked like she was either still a student or hadn’t graduated long ago, and her clothes weren’t even any luxury brands. Could she really afford to buy such an expensive phone as a gift?

And why specifically buy an ugly phone as a gift? Could it be that it’s for someone she doesn’t get along with, wanting to annoy them? But if you want to annoy someone, why specifically buy a high-performance phone? What if the recipient actually likes this kind of muscular phone and happily accepts it, only ending up annoying yourself?

She really couldn’t figure it out no matter how she thought about it, but since Xu Fengwu had said this much, firstly, the customer is always right, and secondly, only a fool would turn down money at this point, so she stopped trying to persuade Xu Fengwu and just went along with it.

“Alright, this phone is currently on promotion for 5,899 yuan. Which carrier version and color would you like? The China Telecom version supports dual SIM 4G, while China Mobile and China Unicom versions only support 4G on the main SIM. For colors, we currently have black, white, blue, and gold.”

“I’ll take the China Mobile version, but I don’t need any bundled plans,” Xu Fengwu took out Chu Suhe’s SIM card to look at it, then said to the clerk, “Also help me get a top-spec 128GB iPhone 6 Plus in space gray, also China Mobile version, for my own use.”

Although she had just changed her phone not long ago, for her performance to go more smoothly, she still bought herself a new phone too.

“Certainly, we’ll get those for you right away, please wait a moment.” The clerk bowed, now very respectful toward this “big customer” who had chosen two top-priced models right away, and was very straightforward, not asking many questions or trying to bargain, not even requesting any small gifts.

What salesperson wouldn’t like this kind of person?

After a while, the clerk came back carrying two boxes in bags, containing some small gifts she had prepared for her, phone cases, power banks and such things, along with her phone number included. Usually customers who didn’t ask wouldn’t get these perks, since selling these items actually gave her a higher commission than phones.

But firstly, she wanted to leave a good impression on this young lady, since she had noticed that Xu Fengwu’s current phone was this year’s new model, yet she was now buying a brand new iPhone 6 Plus, so she might become a regular big customer in the future.

Secondly, well, she had a weakness for pretty faces, and found this young lady quite pleasant to look at. Xu Fengwu also didn’t have that aggressive attitude like some nouveau riche, so giving away some freebies wouldn’t hurt anyway, so she proactively gave Xu Fengwu some small perks.

“Miss, these are your free gifts, including phone cases for both phones and a power bank,” the clerk said to Xu Fengwu with a smile. “And my phone number is on this paper, it’s also my WeChat ID. You can add me, and if you have any questions in the future or want to buy new phones, you can find me.”

“I’ll add you after I switch to the new phone and transfer my data,” Xu Fengwu said calmly.

“Alright, so this is the total price. Would you like to pay in cash or by card, miss?” the clerk continued politely.

“Card,” Xu Fengwu took out her card from her jacket pocket and went to the counter with the clerk to complete the payment.

After the transaction was complete, the clerk eagerly handled everything for Xu Fengwu, including cutting the SIM card for Chu Suhe, transferring data for Xu Fengwu, and finally “thoughtfully” helping Xu Fengwu add her own WeChat.

“Well then, miss, goodbye. Remember to contact me if you have any questions, I’ll definitely help you solve them.” Before leaving, the clerk gave Xu Fengwu a signature sweet smile, and Xu Fengwu also politely waved goodbye.

Afterward, Xu Fengwu went to a nearby mobile store to add 4,000 yuan of credit to Chu Suhe’s phone, then used the app to change Chu Suhe’s plan to a 4G+ plan, added the phone numbers she had noted down to the contacts, and deleted all the text messages about the plan change and credit top-up. This way everything was completed quietly without Chu Suhe having to do it herself, and Chu Suhe wouldn’t know.

“Phew… finally finished,” Xu Fengwu let out a long breath as she walked out of the mobile store’s doors. Fortunately she could think of such a brilliant plan, even Xia Ruoming wouldn’t have thought of it.

When she returned to the dormitory in the evening, Xu Fengwu directly pulled Chu Suhe to a milk tea shop outside that had seating. She had already rehearsed the upcoming scene once and was confident she wouldn’t reveal any flaws.

When pulling Chu Suhe out, Xu Fengwu didn’t mention anything about returning Chu Suhe’s phone, and Chu Suhe didn’t bring up the matter either.
