Love Apartment: The All-Around Comedian

Page 247

"What method?" Su Mingyang and Lü Ziqiao asked curiously.

“Just give my Transformers to Maori. That way, I can not only save 1 yuan in year-end bonus, but also express my feelings. What do you guys think of this idea? Isn’t it great?” Lu Zhanbo clapped his hands proudly, as if he thought he was a genius.

Su Mingyang and Lu Ziqiao exchanged a speechless glance, then stared at Lu Zhanbo with looks that suggested he was mentally challenged.

Lu Zhanbo noticed something was off about the way the two were looking at each other and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Lu Ziqiao was speechless: "What problem do you think there is? There's a huge problem! Is your brain made of Transformers?"

"Huh?" Lu Zhanbo looked completely bewildered.

Su Mingyang explained, "Zhanbo, think about it carefully. What girl likes Transformers? Giving her this is not as good as spending a few dollars to win a plush toy for her."

Lu Ziqiao said irritably, "Exactly, even a matryoshka doll that costs a few dozen yuan will do."

Su Mingyang: "..."

Lu Zhanbo sighed: "Alright then, it seems I can only choose one between the coat and the necklace."

He couldn't save that 1 yuan even if he wanted to.

Lu Ziqiao's eyes lit up, and he suggested, "I think you should choose the overcoat."

Lu Zhanbo frowned and said, "But what if she likes the necklace more?"

Su Mingyang retorted, "When you said you were going to give her a Transformers toy, didn't you consider whether she would like it?"

"Well, okay." Lu Zhanbo smiled awkwardly.

Lu Ziqiao said in a lecturing tone, "Zhanbo, you are a man, don't get stuck in this kind of dead end like a woman."

"Not knowing what you want is just a superficial phenomenon. If a man sincerely gives you something, it will be given additional value, such as deep affection. Then such a thing is more precious than profit."

“That makes sense.” Lu Zhanbo agreed, then added with some doubt, “But if you put it that way, Ziqiao, then giving me a Transformers toy can also convey a lot of affection, right?”

Lu Ziqiao nearly vomited blood upon hearing this: "Do you still want to pick up girls? Can you please stop talking about Transformers!"

"I won't mention it, I won't mention it anymore." Hearing Lu Ziqiao's tone sound like he was about to get angry, Lu Zhanbo didn't dare to argue any further.

Su Mingyang stood aside, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and silently hit the ball.

After calming himself down, Lu Ziqiao put his arm around Lu Zhanbo's shoulder and said, "My friend owns a coat store. If I want to buy one, I can get a 9% discount."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhanbo immediately became excited: "Wow, it's so cheap!"

"Of course, how about it? Do you want me to buy it for you?" Lu Ziqiao raised an eyebrow.

In fact, he can make a profit even if he gets a 7% discount.

Su Mingyang smiled slightly, realizing that this was what Ziqiao was planning.

Just by hearing that, you can tell it's more than a 9% discount.

Lu Zhanbo, that simpleton, never imagined that he could save more than 1000 yuan. He was so excited that he couldn't express it: "I want it! I want it!"

"Okay, I'll help you!" Lu Ziqiao revealed a smug smile.

"Thank you." Lu Zhanbo took out his year-end bonus.

Lu Ziqiao accepted it with a smile.

Su Mingyang watched from the sidelines, but did not expose Lu Ziqiao's trick.

Since Lu Zhanbo is happy, why did he say so much?

Chapter 296

After fooling Lu Zhanbo, Lu Ziqiao set his sights on Su Mingyang.

When asked what gift he wanted to give Lin Wanyu for Valentine's Day, he suggested choosing a warm coat, just like Lu Zhanbo did.

Upon hearing this, Su Mingyang could easily guess what Lu Ziqiao was thinking.

They refused outright, stating that they already had their own plans.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ziqiao had no choice but to give up and return to the Love Apartment to place an order for a coat.

……

The next day arrived in the blink of an eye.

Lin Wanyu and Chen Meijia arrived at the apartment lobby together.

Opening mailbox 3602, Chen Meijia took out several letters and said excitedly, "Wow, that's great! I received three birthday cards."

Lin Wanyu took out a stack of letters and small packages from mailbox 3603 and casually asked, "Who sent these?"

Chen Meijia glanced at the sender and said somewhat disappointedly, "Uh, **China Mobile and Bank of Communications."

Lin Wanyu comforted her, "At least it's a card, not a bill."

Upon hearing this, Chen Meijia quickly opened the letter.

Upon seeing it, I felt like I'd stepped in dog poop. Speechless, I exclaimed, "My God, they actually made the bills into card-like formats! How could they do that?"

Lin Wanyu joked, "If you pay off the overdraft sooner, they will definitely give you roses."

Chen Meijia ignored the question and looked at the other two letters, feeling much better: "Hey, Wanyu, look, these are the birthday cards you and Mingyang sent me."

Lin Wanyu turned her head and glanced at it, somewhat puzzled, and said, "How did you know? You haven't even opened it yet."

Chen Meijia laughed and said, "You forgot? The card was a free gift with the purchase of laundry detergent. After you two wrote it together, I still helped you mail it out."

"Oh, right, I almost forgot." Lin Wanyu said, a little embarrassed.

After locking the mailbox, the two returned to the Love Apartment together.

Chen Meijia noticed the large pile of things Lin Wanyu was holding and exclaimed with envy, "Wow, Wanyu, you have so many cards!"

"No, most of these are from Mingyang. Many readers somehow found out where he lives and sent him razor blades, as well as love letters," Lin Wanyu said helplessly.

"Uh, okay." Chen Meijia nodded, then suddenly remembered something and whispered, "Um, Wanyu, could you give me some razor blades? I need them for hair removal, hehe."

Lin Wanyu immediately agreed: "No problem, you can take it if you want."

"Yes, thank you." Chen Meijia immediately expressed her gratitude.

After entering the elevator, she thought about her birthday and her mood became a little depressed again. She complained to Lin Wanyu, "It's all my parents' fault for giving birth to me two days before Valentine's Day. Now the whole world is celebrating Valentine's Day, who remembers my birthday?"

Lin Wanyu said, "It's me, Mingyang, and also China Mobile and Bank of Communications."

Chen Meijia immediately felt a little aggrieved: "But I have never received a decent gift before."

"Has Ziqiao never given you a gift before?" Lin Wanyu asked, somewhat surprised.

Mentioning this, Chen Meijia became even more dejected: "Yes, one year he gave me a magazine I had read, which was full of big bear beauties, and another year he gave me a warm hug, but it was after he was drunk."

"Is this considered a gift?" Lin Wanyu didn't know what to say.

Chen Meijia sighed and said, "Valentine's Day is approaching, and all prices are soaring. He will then have a reason to say that now is not a good time to buy gifts. After Valentine's Day, he will say that your birthday has already passed, and you should focus on the road ahead for the next year. Gifts will only remind you that you are a year older. It's all irrelevant."

After hearing this, Lin Wanyu was also a little angry: "Ziqiao is really something."

"Speaking of which, I really envy you, Wanyu. On your birthday, Mingyang gave you a custom-made Cartier Ballon Bleu, which cost over 10 yuan. As for me, Ziqiao just used my birthday as an early advertisement. Right now, he's probably thinking about which girl he'll spend Valentine's Day with," Chen Meijia said quietly, tears welling up in her eyes.

Lin Wanyu advised, "Meijia, don't say that. Maybe Ziqiao will change for the better this year, who knows?"

Chen Meijia shook her head, not taking those words seriously.

After exiting the elevator, the two returned to the living room of apartment 3602.

When I saw the exquisite gift box on the coffee table.

Chen Meijia's eyes immediately lit up. 9.

Chapter 297

With a glimmer of hope, Chen Meijia asked, "What is this? I didn't see it this morning."

“It’s a gift. Look, here’s the invoice.” Lin Wanyu said, picking up the invoice from the gift box to look at it.

Chen Meijia immediately leaned closer, and when she saw the recipient's name, her breathing quickened instantly. She asked incredulously, "Lu Ziqiao, really? Ziqiao gave this to me?"

Lin Wanyu subconsciously thought that Lu Ziqiao wouldn't spend money on gifts to woo a girl; the only possibility she could think of was that Lu Ziqiao had a change of heart and bought them to celebrate Chen Meijia's birthday. She smiled and said:

"The items are all here. Judging from the packaging, they don't seem to be intended for Teacher Zeng and Guangu."

Upon hearing Lin Wanyu's words, Chen Meijia was so excited she couldn't express herself: "I'm the only girl in our suite!"

"Hmm, it seems Ziqiao hasn't forgotten your birthday," Lin Wanyu said with a smile.

Chen Meijia was secretly pleased, but outwardly she pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Let me open it and see what it is. It's not that easy to defeat me."

After saying that, he opened the gift box without hesitation.

"Where's Ziqiao?" Lin Wanyu wondered where Lu Ziqiao had gone. She called out a few times into the room, "Ziqiao? Ziqiao?"

"I'm doing e-commerce."

At this moment, Lu Ziqiao came out of the room and saw Chen Meijia opening the gift box. His expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "Meijia, what are you doing?"

Chen Meijia ignored Lu Ziqiao's words and proceeded to pack and unpack the package on her own.

"Meijia, don't hit her..." Lu Ziqiao was about to rush over to stop Chen Meijia's behavior.

Unfortunately, his leg speed couldn't match Chen Meijia's hand speed.
