“Oh my God, is that really a Black Gold Card from Qianda Department Store? Isn’t that too valuable?”
“With this Black Gold Card, you can purchase all items in the department store at a 30% discount, which is an incredibly generous offer.”
“It’s said that in the entire Zhonghai, there are fewer than a hundred Black Gold Cards issued by Qianda Department Store. Those who get their hands on one are either rich or noble.”
“This Black Gold Card is also a symbol of one’s status, something money can’t buy.”
“Even though the department store was at fault to begin with, giving away some clothes as compensation would have been enough. But to also include a Black Gold Card?”
“Yeah, this does seem like making a mountain out of a molehill…”
Everyone clearly was surprised by Zhou Bingrui’s gesture, and their discussions buzzed nonstop.
From the crowd’s conversations, Tang Feng could tell how precious the Black Gold Card was, and he immediately thought to return it.
“Tangtang, don’t listen to their nonsense. It’s just a shopping card after all. It’s just that my authority only goes so far, otherwise, I’d give you several diamond cards to play with,” Zhou Bingrui obviously wasn’t concerned about parting with a Black Gold Card.
Seeing him so nonchalant, Tang Feng didn’t insist on politeness anymore.
After all, if others were so generous and he continued to dither, it would seem rather petty.
At present, he didn’t yet understand the true value hidden in that card.
All the stores in Qianda Department Store were priced at a no-discount policy. The price marked was the price you paid.
However, with this Black Gold Card, he could get all his purchases at 70% of the cost.
Should someone unscrupulous get their hands on it, they could buy in bulk every day and then resell at a profit, which would certainly be a lucrative business.
By giving him this card, Zhou Bingrui was taking quite a responsibility upon himself.
“Tangtang, let’s exchange contact information,” Zhou Bingrui suddenly suggested.
Heard him use that nickname, Tang Feng frowned slightly, “Exchanging contact info is fine, but could you stop calling me Tangtang? I’m a man!”
“If not Tangtang, what then? Fengfeng? That works too.” While Zhou Bingrui took out his phone to add Tang Feng’s contact, he teased.
Tang Feng displayed his WeChat QR code for Zhou Bingrui to scan, “Would you die if you didn’t repeat words? Call me Tang or Feng, either is fine. But not Tangtang.”
“I still think Tangtang sounds nicer, it’s so endearing.” By then, Zhou Bingrui had already accepted Tang Feng’s friend request and directly saved his contact as “Tangtang.”
Tang Feng was so irritated he almost exploded but he ended up noting Zhou Bingrui’s contact as “Zhouzhou” instead.
Zhou Bingrui accidentally caught sight of his new contact name, and suddenly he was not pleased, “Change it back right now, what Zhouzhou? That sounds terrible.”
Tang Feng locked his phone screen and put it in his pocket, “Heh, so you’re allowed to call me Tangtang but I can’t call you Zhouzhou? That’s not fair.”
“Tangtang, aren’t you being a bit unreasonable?”
“Zhouzhou, you can’t blame me, you started this.”
“Tangtang…”
“Zhouzhou…”
The onlooking crowd hadn’t dispersed yet and hearing the two exchange nicknames, they all felt goosebumps at the exchange.
And looking at the two, their gaze suddenly took on a “I see” kind of understanding.
“No wonder Mr. Rui went all out and gifted a Black Gold Card. So this is what it’s about.”
“That Tangtang, dressed so androgynously, turns out to be a bottom.”
“Heterosexual relationships are just accidents, homosexual love is the real deal.”
“Now that you mention it, I suddenly feel like that girl was superfluous…”
It wasn’t just them; Jiang Zi felt the same, like she was superfluous.
Now all she wanted was to quietly turn around and leave, not to intrude. That was her final act of kindness.
Tang Feng and Zhou Bingrui clearly also sensed the ambiguous atmosphere between them and hastily retreated from each other in disgust.
Zhou Bingrui dropped his playful demeanor, speaking seriously, “Alright, I’m busy, so I won’t waste more time with you. Some other time, we should go jade gambling…”
“Cough cough!”
Tang Feng quickly coughed twice to interrupt and shot Jiang Zi a meaningful look.
Jiang Zi clearly was the type well-suited to domestic life. If she heard about him gambling on jade, she might think differently of him.
But Zhou Bingrui seemed to either not catch on, or he did it on purpose. Instead of stopping, he purposefully raised his voice, “You really are my lucky charm. Last time I touched you, I hit the jackpot and won a piece worth a million!”
His words led those present to wild speculation.
What does “touch” and “a million” mean?
Sounds pretty thrilling, doesn’t it?
Tang Feng felt if he stayed any longer, he might end up truly branded as a troublemaker.
He didn’t discriminate against those with such preferences, but he definitely didn’t want to be labelled as someone involved in them.
Hurriedly, he pulled Jiang Zi away.
“Mr. Rui seems to really treat you well,” she commented once they were out of Qianda Department Store.
Jiang Zi couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle.
Maybe it was Tang Feng’s imagination, but he felt like Jiang Zi’s gaze towards him seemed less wary of a male and more relaxed, as if he was of the same gender.
“There’s really nothing between us, today was only our second meeting. Before that, I didn’t even know his name,” he said, worried that the beautiful Jiang Zi might misjudge his orientation, leaving him in despair.
“It’s fine, society is very tolerant these days. Even if there is something between you two, it’s not a big deal,” Jiang Zi said, understandingly.
Tang Feng rolled his eyes.
A visit to the department store and now his orientation has changed?
Jiang Zi appeared to enjoy seeing him flustered, chuckling, “But seriously, you must be the most successful among all our classmates now, right?”
Tang Feng thought to himself, you’re only noticing now?
But he restrained himself in his reply, “Bah, where? I’m just getting by. Anyway, I have no use for this card, so you take it.”
As he spoke, he casually took out the valuable Black Gold Card and handed it to her.
“Ha, ‘just getting by’, and yet you’re gifting away such a prized Black Gold Card. If this is you ‘just getting by’, then the rest of us can’t even be considered average,” Jiang Zi couldn’t help but tease, but she didn’t turn down the card, accepting it.
She might not necessarily use it, but if she refused, he might just give it to some other woman.
Hmph, even if I don’t use it, I won’t let it fall into the hands of any other woman!
