The coffee shop was not open yet, but Chu Mengyao had already gotten up and was preparing to open the shop. After seeing Ling Ling, she smiled and said hello, "Isn't this Ling Ling? You came here so early, do you suddenly want to give up your shift and come to help in the shop? Let me make it clear, there is no overtime pay."
"You think too much. It's just that the place Xiaoxiao and I agreed to meet is here~"
"Okay, okay. Since you are our first customer today, I'll give you a glass of milk for free." Chu Mengyao said as she poured a glass of milk from the bar and handed it to Ling Ling.
Ling Ling naturally wasn't polite. He drank milk and chatted with Chu Mengyao, and time passed quickly.
Zhou Xiaoxiao finally arrived more than half an hour after the agreed time. As soon as she entered the room, she said to Ling Ling with an apologetic look on her face, "I'm sorry. I played games until 4 o'clock last night and didn't hear the alarm clock in the morning, so I rushed here as soon as I got up."
Ling Ling noticed the thick dark circles under Zhou Xiaoxiao's eyes. It seemed that she really played games until the early morning. Ling Ling smiled and said, "It's okay. You haven't had breakfast yet, right? Why don't you sit down and have breakfast first? We're not in a hurry anyway."
"Long live understanding! Maid over there, give me a free cake and a free cup of milk tea, hurry up."
"Here are the cakes and milk tea you asked for." Chu Mengyao placed the cakes and milk tea in front of Zhou Xiaoxiao with a smile on her face.
"Hey!" Zhou Xiaoxiao didn't expect Chu Mengyao to bring it over so readily. Did the sun rise from the west today
Before Zhou Xiaoxiao could take a bite, she heard Chu Mengyao say with a smile: "The money for the cake and milk tea will be deducted from your salary."
"You... forget it~ I knew that a stingy person like you wouldn't be so kind." Zhou Xiaoxiao ate the cake with an unhappy face, as if she mistook the cake in front of her for Chu Mengyao.
After Zhou Xiaoxiao finished solving the breakfast problem, the two left the cafe and prepared to go to today's destination, 'Skynet Electronics Market'.
Since the destination was far away, the two chose to take the subway. Fortunately, it was past the rush hour and there were not many people on the subway. The two even found two empty seats.
"Hey~ Isn't your sister here with you? Didn't you say you were going to buy her a cell phone?" After getting on the subway, Zhou Xiaoxiao realized that Ling Li was nowhere to be seen.
"Well, if she doesn't want to come, then let her do it. As for the cell phone, just buy the same one as mine."
"You really dote on your sister~"
Ling Ling smiled slightly but said nothing.
······
The two arrived at their destination quickly. After all, the subway is not like the bus, and there is no traffic jam on the subway.
“A lot of people.”
As soon as Ling Ling stepped out of the subway station, she saw a dense crowd of people. She really didn't expect that there would be so many people here on a weekday.
"Yeah, you have to pay more attention to your wallet. There are a lot of thieves here. Your wallet might be gone if you're not careful."
Ling Ling nodded to show her understanding, and then followed Zhou Xiaoxiao into the crowd.
"The owner of this store is a nice guy. I got my computer here. The owner of that store is very shady. A classmate of mine went to get a computer from him and got ripped off. And this one is also a shady store..."
Zhou Xiaoxiao, who was walking in front, led the way while introducing the shops on both sides. She knew clearly which ones were good shops and which ones were shady shops. It seemed that she must be a regular customer of this market.
As they were talking, the two came to the "Banana" mobile phone store.
Speaking of this 'banana', in Ling Ling's previous life it was similar to an 'apple', and even the icon was a banana with a bite taken out of it.
At this time, many people had gathered in front of the door of the "Banana" store. Considering the release of "Banana 7" some time ago, Ling Ling already understood what these people were doing.
“There are just too many people~”
"It's okay, I don't need to queue. Come with me~" Then he walked towards the alley next to the store.

Chapter 30: Do you want a cell phone
After Ling Ling followed Zhou Xiaoxiao into the alley, they came to the back door of the store, and then watched Zhou Xiaoxiao take out her cell phone and say something to someone.
Not long after, the door opened and a fat uncle in a suit walked out. After seeing Zhou Xiaoxiao, he walked up to her with a smile and gave her a big hug. "Long time no see, Xiaoxiao looks beautiful again."
"No way~" Although she said no, the upturned corners of her mouth betrayed her.
"Okay, this is the 'Banana 7' phone you wanted. Uncle has something else to do, so I'll go back first. Say hello to your parents for me." After saying that, the fat uncle hurried back. It seemed that he was indeed a little busy.
"This is Uncle Wang who lived next door to me when I was a kid. He was very kind to me. He is a manager of Banana Company in China, so you know~"
Ling Ling naturally understood, and at the same time couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it really is good to have connections.
"Let's go, I've already taken care of it, it's your turn." Zhou Xiaoxiao said with a smile. She was in a very good mood after getting the new phone.
Ling Ling followed Zhou Xiaoxiao through the alleys again. She really admired Zhou Xiaoxiao's ability to move freely in these intricate alleys. If it were her, she would have gotten lost countless times.
"Why are you so familiar with this place?" Ling Ling asked curiously.
"Well~ Because I used to live here for a period of time, so I am very familiar with this place." A trace of nostalgia flashed in Zhou Xiaoxiao's eyes.
After walking for a while, the two finally got out of the alley and returned to the outside world. Across the alley was a mobile phone store, and Ling Ling followed Zhou Xiaoxiao in.
The store is still very busy, and there are people asking for advice at almost every counter.
"What kind of phone do you want to buy?"
"My budget is only 2,000 yuan. Can you help me see what kind of mobile phone I can buy with 1,000 yuan?"
"One thousand yuan~" Zhou Xiaoxiao lowered her head and thought for a while, then took Ling Ling to a counter, pointed at a mobile phone and said: "'Seven Star NOTE7', this phone is pretty good. In fact, with the performance of this phone, it is impossible to sell it at a price of one thousand, but because it may explode, the price is reduced to such a low level. There have only been a few hundred cases in China, and only dozens of people had their skulls blown off. If you believe in your luck, buy this. In fact, sometimes this phone can also be used as a grenade~"
"Blow up... blow off the skull? Forget it. Anyway, why is this phone still being sold if it has such a big problem? Is there no one to care?"
Zhou Xiaoxiao spread her hands helplessly and said, "This... I don't know either. Since this one doesn't work, then this one will do."
Zhou Xiaoxiao pointed to a mobile phone next to the Seven Star NOTE7 and said, "'Akino 1110' is the flagship model of Akino for many years. It has perfect lines, a small body, and excellent configuration. It can run 'Battlefield 1' and 'Titanfall 2' at the same time. It also comes with a bulletproof system, 360° defense against bullets, built-in tracking and rebound, and can even be used as a miniature nuclear bomb if the miniature nuclear reactor inside is activated. Miraculously, it only sells for 998. I can't believe it."
"Um...can I ask what kind of company Aquino is?"
"Don't you know? 'Aquino' is the world's largest weapons manufacturing company. It is said that they are now making space-based weapons. It seems that they are launching a certain model of 'Aquino' mobile phone from a satellite to produce a power greater than a nuclear bomb. Of course, this is just a rumor."
“······” Ling Ling was no longer able to complain.
Seeing Ling Ling's expression, Zhou Xiaoxiao knew that this 'Aquino 1110' would not be acceptable to the other party. But it didn't matter, there were other mobile phones here.
"Come, how about watching this one?"
Ling Ling took the phone and took a look at it. It was no different from a normal phone and felt very good. However, since it was not turned on, he didn't know what the operating system was.
"This phone is called 'Watchdog Prototype I'. Although its name may sound a bit tacky, it is a truly good phone. It can hack into most electronic devices. For example, isn't it annoying to wait for a red light when crossing the road? With this phone, you don't have to worry about that at all. The red light will turn red when you want it to, and the green light will turn green when you want it to. It can also steal other people's private information and even transfer money from other people's bank accounts secretly. It can also cause a blackout when necessary. It is a must-have phone for murder and arson, and the price is 998. It's incredible."
"Also, it is said that the maker of this phone, Aiden Pierce, will launch a new model at the end of this year. It is said that new features will be added to it. Are you excited?" Zhou Xiaoxiao said, staring at Ling Ling with watery eyes.
"Oh~" Ling Ling suddenly felt that going out with Zhou Xiaoxiao to buy a mobile phone might be a wrong choice.
