Chapter 323: Chapter 342 Not Like a Good Person (Part 2)
"What’s wrong, miss?" the cashier asked Yang Feifei.
Yang Feifei ignored her and put the basket aside. She checked all her pockets but still couldn’t find her phone.
"It was stolen!" Her face didn’t look good, and she cursed the thief in her mind, thinking they must be incredibly bold to target her.
In an instant, Yang Feifei was infuriated.
But she was helpless, as she was too embarrassed to talk about it; otherwise, she’d be the laughingstock of the entire military district.
After all, a dignified special forces soldier got her phone stolen while shopping, without even noticing it.
Just thinking about it, she felt too embarrassed to face anyone.
However, that phone was newly bought and cost her most of her savings.
If she had to buy another one, she simply wouldn’t have the money.
And don’t be fooled by her basket full of cosmetics; altogether, it was barely more than a thousand yuan.
Even though she was the granddaughter of Elder Yang from the Chuzhou military district, and the Yang family was one of the top families in Chuzhou City, her monthly allowance was only two thousand yuan.
According to her grandfather, this is about inheriting the Chinese traditional virtue of being industrious and thrifty!
So, she came to Jiangnan University in the sweltering heat to be an instructor, primarily because of the little extra earning from the school!
"Miss, do you still want these or not? If not, let the next person through!" The cashier was getting slightly impatient and called out to Yang Feifei again.
Yang Feifei felt a bit embarrassed and prepared to step aside.
"Wait a moment, miss, is this your phone?" A middle-aged man in a suit and tie walked up to the cashier counter and asked Yang Feifei as he glanced at her.
Yang Feifei looked over and, upon spotting the cute cartoon case, got excited at once and said repeatedly, "It’s mine, it’s mine!"
In the next moment, she took the phone from the middle-aged man’s hand, and with a slightly suspicious look in her eyes, she asked, "Who are you? How did my phone end up with you?"
The middle-aged man, with the calm demeanor of a successful person, looked at Yang Feifei in a gentlemanly way and said, "I’m Jia Cheng, the film director at Grammy. Here’s my business card, and this phone of yours must have fallen near the perfume section, and I picked it up."
"I came over intending to hand it to the cashier, but I didn’t expect you’d be right here!"
The film director from Grammy? That business card seems genuine!
The many girls settled at the side, instantly became excited, looking at Jia Cheng with adoring eyes.
This was the most famous film company in Chuzhou City, ranking among the top three nationwide, with numerous A-list celebrities under their belt, including the current hottest national goddess, Dili Bare.
If they could catch him like a lifeline, it might just open the doors to the film industry, bringing endless fame and fortune.
"...Is that so?" Yang Feifei curiously took the business card, glanced at it, and then pocketed it, thinking to herself that she might have indeed gone near the perfumes or maybe not; she couldn’t recall exactly.
But at least she got her phone back, which was the most important thing.
Yang Feifei looked at Jia Cheng again, calmed herself from the joy of recovering her phone, and said, "Thank you so much!"
After saying this, she turned, picked up the basket beside her, and handed it to the cashier, saying, "Check out!"
"..." Jia Cheng froze in place, subconsciously thinking, "Is it over just like that?"
Wasn’t she supposed to excitedly chat with him some more, maybe invite him for a meal? If she wanted to enter the film industry, perhaps she might even spend a night with him or something.
After all, he had just mentioned he was the film director from Grammy.
Though Yang Feifei seemed hard to approach and was by no means less attractive than Dili Bare; even if such girls weren’t easy to fool, at least saying a few more words was expected, wasn’t it!
The girls at the side were also stunned, all feeling Yang Feifei missed a huge opportunity.
"Shouldn’t you invite me to dinner?" Jia Cheng stepped forward, gentlemanly speaking to Yang Feifei, thinking such a good-looking girl was rare in the world, so he was unwilling to give up.
Yang Feifei turned her head in surprise, glanced at him, and asked, "Why?"
"I just found your phone; you should practically express your gratitude at least!" Jia Cheng spoke in a joking tone, smiling at Yang Feifei.
Upon hearing this, the girls nearby were instantly shocked, thinking this girl would surely agree, as the director himself had practically extended a personal invitation—what an honor it would be.
However, to their astonishment, Yang Feifei said, "Isn’t returning lost items a Chinese traditional virtue? You asking me for a meal makes you seem not like a good person!"
"Are you up to something?"
