Episode 4

“钱是什么？钱是王八蛋！”宁小凡看着屏幕上那一串零，咧嘴一笑，冷笑道。他对别的什么都没有感觉，但是对这个混蛋，却充满了仇恨。“有钱能买什么？”宁小凡想着自己破旧的衣服。他已经收到了很多其他人不屑的目光。妈的，他该买件新衣服了！不，等等，他还没吃午饭。他应该找个好饭馆，大快朵颐一番才对。这么想着，他就去了学校旁边的餐厅，算是中档的。这里最受欢迎的菜是麻辣鸡和香鱼，大学生吃得起。然而，“学生用得起”这三个字，只适用于其他人。至于之前的宁小凡，他几乎每年都不会来这里一次，除非他被邀请参加宿舍聚会。五六十块钱就够他吃饱了，但他那时候买不起。但是现在，有了更多的钱包，他就大步向前了。有了更多的钱，自然会更有信心和更少的拘束。“一盘麻辣鸡，一盘香鱼，一份麻辣牛肉，两瓶啤酒！”能不能吃完，宁小凡今天的目的，就是先下单，后做决定。如果他不开心，他会点更多直到他开心为止。关键是他现在钱多了！服务员是个三十多岁的女人，薄唇长马脸。她看起来不像一个善良的人。“孩子，你一个人吃饭吗？”女服务员用讽刺的语气说道。“是啊，那又怎样？”宁小凡回答道。“没什么，买这些差不多要两百块钱。”她没有把菜单递给他，也没有问他是否负担得起，但她的语气里透着讽刺和不屑。

宁小凡胖而不笨。“你怕我买不起？”

“我不敢啊，现在的大学生有钱了，不过你看看你这身打扮，嘿嘿。”

“我穿衣打扮有什么问题？穷人就不能去饭店吗？”

宁小凡没有生气，反而冷笑。不过，他稍微大点的声音，却引起了旁边老大的注意。

老板是见多识广的世故光头，不像女服务员眼界狭隘，很快就把事情圆了。

After learning which dishes Ning Xiaofan wanted, he rushed to have them cooked, looking very respectful. In his eyes, customers were gods who had to be served according to established protocol. Who knows, maybe he will even meet a big client. Even if it's not a big client, repeat customers are also good.

It can't be someone trying to eat for free, right? But can you really get away with that around here?

This is a savvy businessman, but young Ning Xiaofan didn't know better. He didn't want to know so much – just wanted to fill his stomach first.

Splash splash, the big plate of chicken, fragrant fish, beef, and beer all arrived.

Ning Xiaofan's growling stomach couldn't hold out anymore as he crazily devoured the food...

After a dozen or so minutes, he burped loudly and finally felt full.

"Boss, how much?"

"235." The bald man smiled.

Ning Xiaofan nodded and opened his phone. He paused for a moment, then directly transferred the money through Alipay.

"Alipay, 300 yuan received!"

"Huh? Classmate, this meal was only 235! Are you...?" The boss was a bit confused, thinking Ning Xiaofan had made a mistake.

However, Ning Xiaofan waved his hand and said, "235 is for the food, and the remaining 65 is for the tip. Since you all worked so hard, I will treat everyone to some water. I just took a look, and there are not many customers in the store, including you, the boss, and a total of 14 employees. I will buy 13 bottles of this 'Xiaoming Green Tea' and one bottle for each person except for this lady."

"Wow! We have drinks to have!"

"This young man is good!"

"From the looks of it, he seems to have a bright future!"

...

The bald-headed boss felt a little embarrassed but still said, "Yes, yes, you're very generous. On behalf of the staff in the restaurant, thank you."

"Don't mention it."

Ning Xiaofan wiped his mouth with a napkin, glanced at the lady with the long, horse-like face who was already purple and black, feeling triumphant in his heart but still calm on the surface.

He threw the napkin on the table and pointed to the food stains in front of him, saying slowly, "Lady, could you please clean this up?"

After speaking, he turned and left.

Wow, he felt so thrilled after acting cool and leaving!

In fact, for Ning Xiaofan, he did not necessarily need to quarrel with that lady. He had been poor for over twenty years and had endured the cold eyes of the world for twenty years. Even though he was a rich second generation now, did he still need to continue to endure?

Hell no!

It felt great to fill his stomach, and Ning Xiaofan silently made a decision that looked stupid but was extremely real - he would never starve to death even if he had to struggle his whole life!

Just look at how much he had grown over the past twenty years of hardship.

Next, he had to do one more thing, which was to change his phone.

He would buy a bigger and better phone than the one bought for Liu Qiao, like the iPhone XS.

Without hesitation, he went straight to the phone store. Once inside, there was a dazzling array of brands, including Apple, Samsung, Huawei, Nokia, and many more.

Ning Xiaofan went straight to the Apple counter where he had purchased his previous phone: "I want an Apple XS with the highest memory capacity, do you have that?"

"You're the student who came in a few days ago to buy a phone for his girlfriend, right? I'm sorry, but the XS with the highest memory capacity is what you bought last time." The receptionist apologized politely.

Damn it! Ning Xiaofan hadn't noticed either, no wonder he had to pay thousands of dollars in installments.

He also had a loan of ten thousand yuan to think about.

When he thought of this, he was so angry that he calmed down. No worries, take it slow. Liu Qiao, wait for us, we'll figure out the accounts later.

A cold glint flashed across Ning Xiaofan's mouth, and he said, "Do you have any phones that are more high-end than the last time? I want something more powerful."

The receptionist knew that Ning Xiaofan didn't understand much about phones, but she didn't show any disdain for his appearance. After all, he had already purchased a phone before, so she kindly recommended, "If you want something better than an Apple XS, then it's the Apple XS-Max. It's a newly released model this year, and it's an upgraded version of the XS."

"Upgraded version?"

Hahaha, Ning Xiaofan laughed loudly, "Good, that's the one!"

Immediately, he had the receptionist pack it up.

"Wait a minute!"

"What's wrong, sir?" The receptionist was taken aback and was counting how much commission she could earn. Did the guy regret buying it?

"Give me another one to go, and the latest iPad and iPod, one of each!"

"Sir, are you sure?"

The young receptionist had been working there for a few months, and she had seen many wealthy customers, but none like him, buying gadgets like groceries.

Can this fat man afford it? The receptionist wondered in her mind.

After packing everything, she asked with some hint of curiosity, "Sir, would you like to pay now or...?"

Loan? He could never get a loan to buy a cell phone in his lifetime!

Even less likely to get a loan to buy for others!

"Pay now!"

He said and directly transferred the payment via Alipay.

The total amount was over 30,000 yuan plus the previous bill of over 10,000 yuan, a total of over 40,000 yuan, which he paid off in one transfer.

The receptionist had never seen someone so extravagant before. He didn't even dress like a rich person, she never thought that this fat man must be a second-generation rich!

Ning Xiaofan picked up his bag and was about to leave when the receptionist stopped him. "Sir, could I add you on WeChat? In case you have any questions while using your phone, we can communicate anytime. I'm online 24 hours."

She said and blinked her eyes.

Wow, having money is really different!

A girl even came forward automatically, but Ning Xiaofan was too engrossed with the phone and did not notice. When The girl caught his attention, he realized that she was really stunning, with big and bright eyes, great skin, and a nice figure, way better than Liu Qiao; he felt captivated by her.

"Scan it!"

For some reason, Ning Xiaofan's voice became much more confident and assertive now as he pulled out the QR code without any nervousness.

"Don't be nervous, Miss."

"Okay, okay," she giggled.

Her laughter was like a hundreds of blooming peach blossoms… Ning Xiaofan was dazed by her beauty.

After leaving, their WeChat was connected.

Soon after, that girl quickly sent a message at lightning speed.

"Brother, let's keep in touch often, I'll always be here, hehe. (Mischievous emoji)"

妈的，这丫头还卖萌，看不下去了。身为死忠宅男，宁小凡不能容忍，连忙反驳道：

“嗯，当然！（吸烟表情符号）”
