Chapter 142 Don’t Discuss the Value of Gifts Between Friends

There is a line of letters printed on the red box——

HUAWEI MATE60 RS ULTIMATE DESIGN
Chen Jingle was stunned: "Is it Huazi, the extraordinary master?"

"OK."

Li Beixing smiled and said, "I see your phone is quite old. I was thinking of giving you the latest model, but their latest model won't be released until the end of November, so I can only give you a 11RS version first. I hope you don't mind."

"It's too valuable, I can't accept it."

Chen Jingle hesitated and shook his head: "My phone is quite new, I've only used it for two and a half years. It looks old because I haven't changed the phone case in a long time. In fact, I have kept it very well, and it looks almost like a brand new one."

As he spoke, he opened the soft cover of the phone, revealing the shiny base underneath.

He is currently using Yaozi's digital series, which has never been damaged since it was put into use and is in 99% new condition.

Nowadays, the lifespan of a mobile phone is generally 4-5 years. If it is not broken, he will wait until it starts to lag before considering replacing it.

Li Beixing stopped smiling and frowned: "Why is it expensive? Shouldn't I change it after using it for more than two years?"

Chen Jingle was helpless: "A phone worth more than 10,000 yuan, isn't it expensive?"

He knew that Li Beixing's family should be well-off, but he didn't expect that even as a gift to an ordinary friend, he would give such a high-value electronic product.

A little flattered.

It’s a shame to say that even though he earns so much money, he has never used a mobile phone that costs more than 5,000 yuan.

Whether it is fruit or Huazi.

Li Beixing glared at him: "Then how much do you think this calligraphy you gave me is worth?"

Chen Jingle was speechless.

When giving a gift to a friend, talking about money seems too vulgar.

But if you think this way, isn’t it contradictory?

The gifts you give to others should not be measured by money, but should the gifts others give to him be measured by money?

So he could only choose to remain silent and acquiesce that Li Beixing was right. But he still felt that the other party's gift was beyond his tolerance.

I have never received such a valuable gift.

Li Beixing snorted: "You just think it's valuable. If it were me, I think ten mobile phones wouldn't be enough to buy this calligraphy."

She can have as many mobile phones as she wants, which seem expensive to outsiders.

On the contrary, Chen Jingle's calligraphy and paintings are different.

What's more, the one you paid for is different from the one he sent you voluntarily. The one you wrote according to your own requirements is also different from the one he wrote in advance.

How can a mere mobile phone compare?

Seeing that he remained silent, Li Beixing became a little angry: "What? Do you really want me to beg you to accept it?"

Chen Jingle took a breath, exhaled again, and smiled awkwardly: "I see. Thank you! I'm sorry for the expense."

He looked at the red box in front of him.

It is no exaggeration to say that this should be the most valuable gift he has received in 30 years.

Li Beixing then raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled: "Stop talking nonsense, just accept it. Besides, you also gave me something. It doesn't make sense to accept a gift without giving something in return."

Chen Jingle nodded slightly, believing that the other party was indeed right in this matter.

"Open it and see if you like it?" Li Beixing pushed the box in front of him.

Having said that, Chen Jingle had no choice but to open the box on the spot.

Tear off the film and open the box.

The box is divided into two layers, the upper layer contains the mobile phone alone, and the accessories are on the lower layer.

Chen Jingle chose to look at his phone first.

The red version is really beautiful. Although it is no longer a Porsche co-branded model this time, it basically continues the previous design aesthetics.

The back cover of the RS version is divided into two parts, the upper part is red ceramic, and the lower part and the frame are red aluminum alloy. The octagonal lens module is very recognizable, with the XMAGE imaging brand logo in the middle.

No wonder they dare to sell it for more than 10,000.

He had watched the press conference at first. After all, with hundreds of media outlets reporting on it, it was hard not to attract attention. When he saw this version released, he was amazed.

Although he looked at it, he was reluctant to buy it.

Besides, his phone was less than a year old at that time, so there was no need to change it.

If Huazi had not been sanctioned in the first place, and the 5G version was launched before he bought Yaozi, he would probably grit his teeth and buy the standard 60 series version.

It’s a pity that he bought Yaozi first.

He doesn't pursue running scores and is not a heavy game user. For him, an Android flagship phone costing two to three thousand yuan is more than enough.

It is worth mentioning that the 60RS model has cancelled the curved screen, which makes it feel much more comfortable.

The Yaozi model that Chen Jingle is currently using has a curved screen, which sometimes causes accidental touches, which is not very user-friendly.

I am quite satisfied with it as a whole, except that the three holes on the screen are a bit annoying.

One hole under the screen is ugly enough, let alone three holes.

In terms of accessories, there is a car charger, two data cables, a charging connector, a pair of wired headphones, and a dark red protective case made of plain leather.

"How's it going? Is it okay?"

Li Beixing saw that he was looking very seriously and showing a look of surprise from time to time, and he immediately knew that he had made the right gift.

It turns out that when giving gifts to men, you have to give them electronic products.

Chen Jingle raised his head: "Very beautiful. Thank you!"

Li Beixing smiled so much that her eyes curved into crescents: "As long as you like it."

She has the same model, but in black.

At Li Beixing's urging, Chen Jingle replaced the SIM card on the new phone and migrated the data from the original phone.

The original Yaozi will be the backup machine from now on.

……

After a lot of trouble, it was finally done. "Oh, by the way, I have some good news to share with you."

Chen Jingle said: "I successfully sold a fine-brush flower and bird painting online. After receiving the goods, the buyer expressed his satisfaction and came back to me to place an order again, and he bought ten paintings at a time."

Ten pictures?

Li Beixing was stunned when he heard this: "So many? How did you set the price?"

Chen Jingle said: "A four-foot-long piece is priced at 20,000, which is the same price we sold it to Boss Liu and Boss Long."

Li Beixing nodded. It wasn’t a cheap sale. It seemed that he had met a big customer, which was a good thing.

She was just curious: "Are you short of money? It will take a long time to paint ten paintings, right?"

Chen Jingle smiled and said, "A little bit. Besides, it's good to earn more money, at least to make enough money for retirement. As for how long I will paint, it shouldn't be for a long time."

Pension?
You are only a few years old and you are already thinking about retirement.

Li Beixing was speechless. She had never thought about these issues.

Because there is no need to consider it at all.

Speaking of lack of money -

"How much do you need?" Li Beixing looked at him.

Chen Jingle was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head: "No, no, this order from the buyer is enough to solve my current problem. I was originally thinking of buying a car, but I didn't want to divert my original savings, so I thought about making more money."

When the topic of buying a car came up, Li Beixing became even more curious: "It's ok to buy a car, but what kind of car do you want to buy?"

"Audi's A4L, maybe."

Between Audi A4L and Cadillac CT5, Chen Jingle finally chose Audi.

There is no other reason, in daily life, Audi is more balanced.

He has no need to take a bath.

"I remember you were driving an A3?" he asked Li Beixing. Last time when they had dinner, he saw her car in the parking lot.

Li Beixing nodded: "Yes. Do you need me to ask the salesperson for you?"

The owner of the Jiangbei Audi 4S store knew her father, and she got a very good discount when she went to buy the car.

If I introduce it to a friend, the salesperson should give me a good price for the sake of my boss, right?
Chen Jingle agreed: "Thank you for your help then."

"Do you plan to pay in full or take out a loan?" Li Beixing asked.

Chen Jingle thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I can borrow some money without affecting my normal life. But don't worry, I'll talk about it later."

Because at this time, the restaurant waiter came over and asked if the food needed to be served.

It’s time for dinner, so why not chat while eating?

Only after the dishes were served did Chen Jingle open the insulated lunch box he had brought with him.

He felt a little embarrassed when Li Beixing looked at him, and said with a smile: "I only brought two dishes, one is Huaishan Four Treasures Soup, and the other is Braised Pork Hoof."

These two dishes are serious and super hard dishes and require a lot of effort to prepare.

Huaishan Four Treasures Soup contains not only Huaishan yam, but also hydrangea mushrooms, cordyceps flowers, and astragalus, all of which are qi-replenishing.

The soup uses broth, and the meat uses chicken and pork ribs.

Among them, yam has the largest portion and plays a major role. Eating yam during the autumn season can nourish the spleen and stomach, promote fluid production and benefit the lungs, nourish the kidneys and astringe the essence, and clear away heat and detoxify.

As soon as the lid was opened, Li Beixing smelled the fragrance of the food.

After taking another look, he was even more amazed: "Your cooking skills are really amazing!"

First of all, this soup is probably the best soup in the eyes of Lingnan people. It looks perfect.

As for the braised pork trotters, they are rich in color and aroma, extremely tempting, and my appetite reaches its peak at this moment.

It completely surpassed the two signature dishes of the Xingyue Tower next door.

"Just average."

Chen Jingle smiled and helped to serve the soup: "Pick up your chopsticks!"

Seeing this, Li Beixing stopped being polite and took a sip of the Huaishan Four Treasures Soup first, and his eyes immediately lit up.

One word, fresh!

Extremely fresh!

As the saying goes, one hot soup is better than three fresh ones. The soup must be drunk while it is hot. The taste will be completely different when it is cold.

The soup is clear, rich in flavor, and meaty. Such a complex taste makes people feel very comfortable after drinking it in one gulp, and they want to take a second sip.

Moreover, the chicken and ribs are boneless, so you don’t have to worry about looking ugly when eating them.

It’s great that even this has been taken into consideration!

Although the braised pork trotters have bones, they are stewed until they are soft and boneless. The skin and flesh will fall off with a slight push of chopsticks, so there is no need to worry.

When you take a bite, your mouth is full of gelatin and the glutinous fragrance of the pig's trotter is fully released. It feels super good!

Li Beixing, who was used to eating Aunt Wang’s cooking, was completely amazed.

The last time I was so amazed was when I was traveling in Beijing and had a meal at Beijing Hotel.

It is known as the ceiling of domestic dining, and its standards are the same as those of hotels in Beijing.

But that was several years ago, I don’t know if the taste has changed now.

Li Beixing was very happy to experience this amazing feeling again.

I thought she had overestimated Chen Jingle's cooking skills, but I didn't expect that I had underestimated him.

This guy is really a monster. Who would have thought that a person who can write and draw can also cook such delicious meals.

Tsk tsk~
Food is the best way to soothe the heart!

Without having time to think too much, she was completely conquered by the delicious food in front of her. She kept eating while barely maintaining her image.

I can’t imagine how happy I would be if I could eat such delicious meals every day.
