Women's Struggle to Change Their Destiny
Buying Birthday Gifts
Baiyun Square is in the most prosperous area of Haicheng District. There are many shopping malls around. It was still early in the morning, so Jian Ai walked towards the nearby Wanbo Commercial Building.
After his rebirth, this was the first time Jian Ai had gone shopping with a purpose.
Although Baiyun City prospered in 2002, there were only a few boutiques in the mall. Foreign brand infusions are also not thorough. Eighty percent of stores are local products.
Audio shops can be seen everywhere on the street. The entrance of the store has a poster of the popular singer, Ren Xianqi. The off-store sound system also plays the most popular music right now. Today, they still need to buy tapes to listen to songs. Laserdiscs have not been popularized. Who would have thought that later on during the rapid development of the Internet, the era of laser discs only appeared a few years before the Internet shut them down? The recording industry is down drastically.
Jian Ai was already thinking about what to buy for Lin Yi. He immediately entered the Wanbo Commercial Building and headed straight for the third floor.
Guoyou's pen was Jian Ai's dream when he was a student. However, he never wanted to buy it because the most basic style cost him almost a hundred yuan. Jian Ai only used a pen that cost only a few yuan. When Jian Ai became the boss later on, Guoyou had been shut down under the influence of the economic industry.
When he arrived at the counter, he noticed there were many Guoyou pens with various styles on display inside. Each of them seemed to shine. They're so beautiful.
The silver gray pen immediately entered Jian Ai's line of sight. The pen is smooth and bright with a stable luster. It was lying quietly inside a beautiful packaging box with a price of two hundred and ninety-nine yuan beside it.
This price was equivalent to Jian Ai's living allowance for a month, but the quality and style of this pen made him think of Lin Yi at once. Jian Ai thought he would like it.
“Halo, please help me wrap this pen!” Jian Ai spoke to the woman at the counter without hesitation.
The woman took out a pen and smiled at Jian Ai. “Did you give it to someone or use it yourself? We have just introduced engraving technique, so we can help you engrave name on pen for free.”
Jian Ai thought for a moment before nodding. “Help me carve a word.”
He exited the Wanbo Commercial Building with the gifts he bought and returned to Baiyun Square via the same route. He realized that Guan Tao had arrived earlier.
“Xiao Ai!” Guan Tao waved his hand when he saw Jian Ai.
Jian Ai ran forward. Guan Tao immediately saw the gift in Jian Ai's hands and asked, “You bought Lin Yi a birthday gift?”
The bag was specially made by Guoyou. Guan Tao recognized him at a glance and inevitably looked surprised. “A Guoyou pen? Xiao Ai, how much did you spend? You can't even bear to buy it! ”
Jian Ai initially thought it was nothing. However, he remembered they were all students, and it was very impractical to buy a pen. After all, the soul in his body was no longer a fourteen year old child.
However, Guan Tao's reaction made Jian Ai feel a little embarrassed.
Thas right. He had never used a Guoyou pen in his life, but the first time he bought it was for someone else as a birthday present.
However, he thought about it and felt relieved. Lin Yi, however, was someone she had liked for three years in her previous life. He deserves this gift!
Jian Ai smiled faintly and found an excuse. “With Lin Yi's family background, she probably won't like ordinary pens.”
