Chapter 54: Chapter 56 Buying a Phone

Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin, upon hearing this, showed concern in their eyes, "Is he out of danger now?"

"Yes, he is out of danger now, and then I hurried back," Qin Hao replied.

Qin Youguo spoke, "Tomorrow, we should buy something and go visit him."

"Yes, Dad, I know. You guys should rest early," Qin Hao ate something casually in the kitchen, and then he went back to his room.

Once in his room, he lay on the bed and sighed deeply.

At that moment, his phone suddenly rang; it was a message from Xia Qing: "What are you doing?"

Qin Hao: "Just got home."

"Why did you come home so late? Did you go out to have fun?" Xia Qing asked curiously.

Qin Hao replied, "No, I found a job a few days ago, planning to challenge myself and earn some tuition money."

Xia Qing sent a surprised emoji, and then asked, "Where did you find the job?"

"At that Jiangshan Roasted Duck Restaurant we went to last time."

Xia Qing: "Are they still hiring? I also want to do a part-time job there."

Qin Hao, his face falling upon hearing this, thought, Xia Qing is coming too? Wouldn't I be exposed then?

He quickly said, "It seems they aren't hiring; I got in through a relative."

"Oh, never mind then, my parents wouldn't agree to me looking for a job outside anyway."

Xia Qing sounded a bit downhearted as she spoke about this issue.

It was also clear from her words that she cared about Qin Hao.

Her parents had long disapproved of her working a summer job, and her inquiry about the job at the roasted duck restaurant was an attempt to be with Qin Hao.

Qin Hao was about to reply to the message when his phone suddenly went dark and powered off.

He hurriedly took out the charger and plugged it in, but the phone did not respond, and it felt very hot.

Could it be broken? Qin Hao tapped the phone a few times, but it remained unresponsive.

He didn't turn on the computer to chat with Xia Qing; the day's events had been too much, and he fell asleep after a shower as soon as he lay down on the bed.

The next day,

Qin Hao first went to the roasted duck restaurant and then bought some fruits to go to the hospital.

When he entered the hospital room, only Li Qian was keeping watch by herself over Mrs. Li.

By then, Mrs. Li had woken up, and her condition had clearly improved a lot compared to the day before.

Seeing that it was Qin Hao, Li Qian's face lit up with a smile: "Hao."

She was very grateful to Qin Hao; if he hadn't intervened, her mother might have left her forever.

Qin Hao smiled and nodded slightly, "Auntie, are you feeling better? I brought some nutritional supplements to see you."

Li Qian quickly said to the bedridden Mrs. Li, "Mom, this is my brother's good friend, he's the one who saved you yesterday."

Mrs. Li, having just undergone surgery, still couldn't move about freely.

She turned her head to look at Qin Hao and said, "Thank you, Xiao Hao. Our Li Bao is blessed to have a friend like you, a blessing earned over three lifetimes."

Qin Hao, embarrassed, smiled and said, "Auntie, you are overstating it, talking about a blessing earned over three lifetimes; we just get along well because we have similar personalities."

Mrs. Li was well aware of her son's antics over these years, mixing in society and the kind of friends he had.

In her view, none of them were really suitable friends, except for the fat one who often visited their home.

...

Curious, Qin Hao asked, "Where is Li Bao? Why haven't I seen him?"

"My brother said he had something to do this morning and left early; he hasn't come back yet," Li Qian replied.

Qin Hao heard Li Qian's words, his brows slightly furrowed but then dropped the subject of Li Bao.

He had stayed here for a while and chatted for some time before leaving the hospital.

After leaving the hospital, Qin Hao went to a large mobile store.

The mobile store was huge, featuring all kinds of phone brands, and there were many people buying phones.

Qin Hao walked up to the WO mobile counter, where a dazzling array of phone models filled the display.

There were several clerks inside the counter, one of whom saw him and smiled as she asked, "Hello, what type of phone would you like to purchase?"

Qin Hao replied, "Can you give a detailed introduction? I don't really understand much about them."

The saleswoman smiled and said, "Sure, tell me what price range you are looking at, and then I can give you a detailed introduction."

"Price isn't an issue; I just want something that's easy to use."

Qin Hao still had tens of thousands of yuan in his account, enough to buy a better phone.

Upon hearing his words, the saleswoman's smile grew sweeter, "Sir, this is the new WO phone model, the X21 Plus.

It's a full-screen phone with 128GB of storage and 4GB RAM. It features fingerprint and facial recognition among other functions and is one of the more fully-featured models currently on the market.

The casing is made of aluminum alloy, and it has a large battery capacity with a long standby time. Its price is 3688.

However, we are currently having a summer promotion, and the promotional price is 3588."

Qin Hao nodded slightly, then asked the saleswoman to introduce other brands of phones as well.

Eventually, Qin Hao stopped in front of the Red Fruit phone counter, where there were also many people choosing phones.

He took a liking to a Red Fruit phone, a new model called Red Fruit Z.

Whether it was the color of the device or the user experience, it indeed was better to use than many others.

Qin Hao was a normal person, and he had his vanities.

Moreover, he was not short of money, so he also wanted to buy a better phone.

Qin Hao also knew another thing; the market value of this Red Fruit company was nearly 900 billion Federation Coins.

Nine hundred billion Federation Coins is equivalent to five trillion Xuan Country Coins; for a company to achieve such a market value is terrifying indeed.

No company in Xuan Country has ever reached this level, state-owned enterprises excluded.

A private enterprise achieving this is truly phenomenal and something many entrepreneurs could learn from.

Qin Hao, now an entrepreneur himself, held a respect for such industry giants.

Even with the system at his disposal, he wasn't very confident about growing his own company to a market value near a trillion Federation Coins.

He was now curious about what kind of mind did the creator of the Red Fruit company have?

"Sir, which phone would you like?" the saleswoman, seeing Qin Hao lost in thought, interrupted him softly.

Qin Hao had been here for nearly half an hour already, and she had been tirelessly explaining, her mouth dry from talking.

"Get me a black Red Fruit Z, 256GB," Qin Hao came around and said apologetically.

Her face lit up with joy at his words, "Alright, sir, that will be 8999. Please wait a moment."

After filling out his personal information and swiping his card, the phone was in his hands; he swapped out the SIM card and added a screen protector and a case.

Many people nearby were watching him, especially a few young men and women, their eyes filled with envy.

That was the latest model of Red Fruit Z, and they too wanted one, but they knew their parents would not agree.

Still, one girl said to her dad, "Dad, I want a Red Fruit Z too."

"If you can get into a top university, not just a Red Fruit Z phone, even a Red Fruit computer, Dad would make the decision for Mom to buy it for you."

After hearing her dad's words, the girl suddenly deflated.
