Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

"Wasn't that just letting them get away with it?" Xiao Dang said, "In the past, they'd give you a Hong Kong residency permit as soon as you went, it was free. Now it's not like that anymore, getting a residency permit is such a hassle... Never mind, let's not talk about this anymore. Once I become a big star, what won't I have? Why would I need this little Hong Kong residency permit?"

"Yo!"

Xu Damao, who was standing next to him, asked, "Is Xiao Dang going to be a singer? Do you even know what a singer is? A singer?"

"and!"

Xiao Dang scoffed, "How come I don't know? Uncle Aiguo, tell me, am I considered a minor pop star now?"

"I'm a trainee at TUB, um... and my sister is too?"

As he spoke, Xiao Dang looked at Liu Aiguo.

That's right!

Liu Aiguo is also drinking tea with the old men!

"Hehe!" Liu Aiguo said, "You haven't debuted yet, so you can't be considered a singer. I don't really know much about that either!"

Having failed to gain Liu Aiguo's approval, Xiao Dang said, "You're just a country bumpkin, you wouldn't understand even if I explained!"

"Do you know who Mei Fangfei is? She was the champion of the first Hong Kong Newcomer Singer Competition, and we were very close!"

"And do you know who Lowen and Jenny are?"

Everyone shook their heads...

They didn't really recognize these Hong Kong singers, but they might know their songs.

"You don't know this?" Xiao Dang said coldly, "You know about 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' that aired on our channel a while ago, right?"

"I know!"

The moment the topic of this TV series came up, everyone became excited.

In an era when cultural feasts were scarce, the people in the compound were extremely excited to see such a good martial arts film on television. To be honest, it was also quite unexpected.

Whenever the topic of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" comes up, the residents of the compound get excited.

This film was shot in Hong Kong a couple of years ago, but it wasn't until this year that it was finally shown in mainland China.

It's incredibly popular!

Because of this television set, Liu Aiguo's factory's television sales doubled compared to usual.

"Following the grass across the vast desert, I fear neither snow nor frost..."

While everyone was having a lively discussion, Xiao Dang suddenly sang a line. Although it wasn't quite the original Cantonese, the accurate Cantonese pronunciation and precise tone surprised everyone.

"This song was sung by Lovin and Jenny, now you know!"

"Let me tell you, this Lovin and Jenny are also my good friends. We're like sisters, 1.5 times closer..."

"Oh, by the way... I heard they're in Beijing right now. How about I invite them to come to our compound to sign autographs and meet everyone when they're less busy in a few days?"

Everyone looked at Xiao Dang with great interest.

Because of their passion for The Legend of the Condor Heroes, they were also passionate about the song.

Because of their enthusiasm for the song, everyone temporarily forgot about Xiao Dang's character and assumed that she really could invite Luo Wen and Jenny.

Liu Aiguo, standing next to him, chuckled and asked, "Little Dang... what's that thing on your waist?"

"This!"

Xiao Dang proudly took out a large black brick from his waist and then gently pulled it with his hand.

An antenna has emerged.

"This is a mobile phone...never seen one before, right? It's like a telephone, but you can make calls without a cord, and you can take it anywhere you want!"

Chapter 220 A Massive Car Crash and Social Disaster

Xiao Dang touched her mobile phone with great care, as if afraid of dropping it and breaking it.

Liu Aiguo smiled!

He knew about this thing too.

A characteristic of this era is that many big bosses use it to display their status.

But he didn't use it.

why?

Because it's ugly.

He's a time traveler from the future, and he's seen all sorts of sophisticated mobile phones. Even the iPhone 13 Pro has been updated. You want me to pick up an old-fashioned mobile phone?

I'm sorry, I can't take it.

So he was useless.

"Uncle Patriot!" Xiao Dang waved the mobile phone in his hand: "Never seen one like this before, have you? This mobile phone costs more than 60,000 yuan!"

sizzle...

Upon hearing Xiao Dang's words, the neighbors all gasped in shock.

"My God!"

"More than 60,000?"

"Isn't this too expensive?"

"Are you crazy? Spending over 60,000 yuan on this thing?"

Immersed in the envy and amazement of everyone, Xiao Dang felt the satisfaction he deserved.

However, Liu Aiguo immediately exposed him: "You're talking nonsense. A brand new mobile phone only costs a little over ten thousand yuan!"

Xiao Dang's expression changed, and he said, "Uncle Aiguo is 29, you've never seen it or bought it, how could you know the price? Don't listen to people's nonsense, it's over 60,000, maybe 10,000 for you to see and touch!"

Liu Aiguo smiled faintly: "I've never bought one, but turn your mobile phone upside down and see if there's a round green label on the bottom!"

Xiao Dang turned around and glanced at it. There was indeed a green circular label at the rough seam of the black hard plastic.

“Yes!” Xiao Dang nodded.

Liu Aiguo asked, "Do you recognize the words written on it?"

"I recognize it!" Xiao Dang did know a few words: "Shenlong Group communication products!"

“That’s right!” Liu Aiguo said, cracking sunflower seeds. “It’s made by us. This model of our mobile phone isn’t currently available on the mainland; it’s only sold in Hong Kong. The latest version costs over 11,000, but your older model is only 8,000 now!”

"what……"

"puff……"

After the envy, an endless stream of ridicule followed.

After being exposed, Xiao Dang's face flushed red.

Fortunately, she had seen a bit of the world these past few days, and her reaction was quick. She immediately started cursing, "Damn that bastard, he's a real piece of work! It was only eight thousand dollars? This was a bonus from my company, they said it was over sixty thousand. They actually cheated me! And... I'll go and settle the score with Brother Luo Wen and Sister Jenny later!"

After hearing this, the mockery from the crowd eased slightly.

Liu Guangtian said, "Xiao Dang, don't forget to call that original singer over for us! I'll treat you to dinner; I just want to see the real person!"

Xiao Dang said, "Don't worry, I'm on very good terms with Brother Luo Wen and Sister Jenny. They'll be free in a few days, and I'll invite you over. It's just a matter of a word from me."

But in my heart I was thinking, in a few days I'll just say they're too busy to come, and then I'll go back to Hong Kong. What can you do about it?

As a result, Liu Aiguo directly exposed his little scheme.

Liu Aiguo said, "Why change the date? Let's do it today... Don't you have a mobile phone? I remember Luo Wen and Jenny have mobile phones too. Why don't you give them a call and ask if they have time?"

"Here's what we'll do: you call them over. I'll treat them to lunch and dinner today, all-inclusive, at Lou Xiao'e's Lou's Restaurant. How about that?"

This immediately cornered Xiao Dang.

This……

Everyone looked at Xiao Dang!

“Yeah, right!” Liu Guangtian chimed in, “Anyway, you two are best friends, a phone call is no big deal, is it?”

Everyone looked at Xiao Dang.

Xiao Dang was a little embarrassed.

She glanced at her mobile phone and suddenly had a brilliant idea: "Hehe... Okay, I'll make the call right now... beep beep beep..."

She dialed a few numbers on her mobile phone, then frowned: "Sorry, I've forgotten their phone numbers for a moment, and I didn't save them!"

"Forget it, forget it, I'll talk to them about it in person later!"

"Sorry everyone!"

Xiao Dang easily put away his big mobile phone.

It has to be said that her experiences outside over the past six months have made her much more mature and quicker to react.

However, Liu Aiguo smiled slightly and said to Liu Guangtian beside him, "Guangtian, go to my room and bring me your Aunt Yu Li's mobile phone!"

"it is good!"

In just a few dozen seconds, Yu Li's mobile phone appeared in Liu Aiguo's hands.
