Modern Extra 2 Modern Life, Starting from Scratch

Modern Extra 2 Modern Life, Starting from Scratch

When you have no money, the tri-fold phone is easily damaged, drains quickly, and is as heavy as a brick. When you open it, it’s like a memorial to the throne…

But it’s different now. Now he’s latched onto a sugar daddy. He’s Lin Yan of the Niohuru clan. He has 500,000 for snacks a day. He can get five phones for Xiao Qi at 21,000 apiece.

One for everyday use, one for playing games, one for watching videos, one for online classes, and one as a spare. It can also be used as a table leg, to hold down instant noodles, or for self-defense.

“Give me five!”

Lin Yan was eager to pay, but Yun Qi finally realized something was wrong.

In the midst of their conversation, his good brother was about to max out the store’s KPI.

“Brother, don’t…”

Yun Qi’s strong opposition, coupled with the store’s insufficient inventory, meant Lin Yan ultimately didn’t realize his wish of buying five phones for different uses.

He reluctantly bought two in different colors, but as soon as they left the store, Xiao Qi told him that the red one was his.

FINE.

The life of the rich is boring… boring my ass, it’s awesome, okay?!

Lin Yan, eager to try out his new equipment, pulled Yun Qi along with one hand while fiddling with his phone with the other, not paying attention to whether the thing in front of him was a store clerk or a pillar or an escalator.

Forced to become a guide dog, Yun Qi couldn’t take it anymore. He finally confiscated the phone and sternly threatened to put Lin Yan in kids mode.

Without the temptation of the phone, his thoughts gradually cleared.

Lin Yan remembered that he was going to take Yun Qi to get a haircut.

“Ding—”

The revolving glass door opened at a thirty-degree angle, and two moon-white figures wrapped in wind crashed into the warm gold lobby. The long hems of their clothes swept across the Italian marble floor, startling the drowsy aromatherapy humidifier.

“Welcome…” The receptionist’s gaze slid over their clothes, turning into a meaningful glance at Tony.

Two poor students, clearly not the kind to spend big money.

“Are you here for a haircut?” Tony dropped a metal comb onto the glass counter with a clatter and handed over the price list, waiting for them to back down. “Our wash, cut, and blow-dry package starts at 688.”

Yun Qi found everything in this era novel. The lobby of the upscale salon was also luxuriously decorated. He carefully looked around, the little person in his heart already screaming wildly.

In Tony’s eyes, these actions were just signs of ignorance. His attitude became more arrogant, and the price list in his hand became a threatening knife.

Lin Yan glanced at the price list, his heart unmoved by the increasingly long prices.

The most expensive was less than a tenth of his snack money. It didn’t fit his current status at all. He was a nouveau riche now, and he had a kept boy. He had to show some momentum!

“This, this, and this.” Lin Yan casually pointed at a few packages and tossed the price list back. “Have your store’s chief stylist do my brother’s hair.”

He was kidding. His “brother” used to be a prince. Even after transmigrating, he was still a young master. He had to combine the packages and have the chief stylist do it to avoid being unfair.

Lin Yan was usually good-natured, but when dealing with snobby little clerks like this, he didn’t mind acting like their benefactor.

I’m spending money, I’m your daddy!!!

“Please wait a moment.” Tony’s face instantly changed. He was respectful for two seconds before deflating, his enthusiasm burning brightly for a third of a second before dying out.

Anyone could talk big. Were these two just pretending to be rich?

“I’ll check the director’s schedule for today. Please have a seat.” Tony gave the receptionist a look and scurried into the back room.

Lin Yan glanced at the mirror on the wall, feeling like he had seen this layout somewhere before.

Emmm…

The room where eyewitnesses in police stations identify suspects? One side is a mirror, one side is glass. People inside can see outside, but people outside can’t see inside?

It shouldn’t be that bad, right?

The receptionist leaned over, a professional fake smile on her face. “Do you have a membership? Should I scan the code or…”

Lin Yan grabbed Yun Qi, who was about to take out his money, and said coldly, “Isn’t it always pay after you consume?”

The receptionist gave a dry laugh, her tone becoming colder. “Our store is a little different. You see, you are…”

“Let’s scan the code.” Lin Yan took out his phone, opened the green bubble, and clicked his tongue at the no-signal notification. “This crappy network is acting up again?”

The receptionist already had a look of schadenfreude on her face. Yun Qi, always eager to see a show, fanned the flames on the side.

“Brother, didn’t you take out the SIM card just now?”

The receptionist was already applauding in her heart. It had been a long time since she had seen such a comedy. It was great. If there was a twist…

“Forgot, forgot.” Lin Yan took out the tri-fold from Yun Qi’s pocket and clumsily swiped the screen, muttering, “Green bubble, green bubble…”

No matter how you fold the tri-fold, it always has a face.

The receptionist, who got her wish for a twist, couldn’t laugh anymore. And this “poor student” she thought was so polite and apologized to her.

“Wait a moment, I just bought this tri-fold, and the software is a little hard to find.” Lin Yan unfolded the tri-fold, looking less like he was looking for software and more like he was reviewing memorials to the throne.

“Okay, okay, no rush.” The receptionist quietly wiped away a sweat, then saw Yun Qi take out another tri-fold in a different color.

Everyone had a machine worth 20,000? Oh my god.

The receptionist had never felt time pass so slowly. She brought a small snack to Yun Qi and cautiously probed, “Why don’t we let your brother go wash his hair first?”

“No, let’s do it according to your rules.” Lin Yan waved his hand and opened the scanning interface. “Should I scan you?”

“Whatever, whatever.” The receptionist hurriedly handed over the payment code, her hands trembling as she operated.

The long receipt was printed out, and the receptionist handed it over with both hands.

“It’s done, do you want to get a membership…”

Lin Yan waved his hand and looked in the direction of the mirror. “Why is Tony taking so long to check the schedule?”

The receptionist cursed in her heart.

What was he dawdling for? Even going to Mars would be enough time for a round trip, right?

“We have a lot of customers today, thank you for waiting.” Tony, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, came out from the back room, his face full of smiles as he handed Lin Yan and Yun Qi two cups of drinks. “This is a milk tea for you, you see…”

A decent brand, costing thirty outside.

Lin Yan waited for Yun Qi to take a sip before taking his milk tea. He ruffled Yun Qi’s hair again and softly comforted him, “Be good, go wash your hair.”

Yun Qi didn’t understand the complicated process, but he fully trusted his brother’s choice. He nodded and followed Tony to the back room.

The waiting time was long and boring. After a moment of silence, the receptionist quickly started chanting again: “Do you want to get a membership card…”

Membership card, membership card, membership card…

Lin Yan felt like he was about to transform into a monkey with a headband, covering his head, frowning, and muttering, “Annoying, stop chanting.”

Expensive, full of scams, avoid this place.

The receptionist talked for a long time, but Lin Yan was unmoved. The exasperated woman finally used the worst strategy – belittling the customer, exaggerating the harm, and boasting about the product.

“Handsome, your hair is dry and split because you don’t pay attention to maintenance. Our store can customize a maintenance plan for you, guaranteed…”

Lin Yan nodded thoughtfully.

It worked!

The receptionist was overjoyed and prepared to strike while the iron was hot, trying to win over this sucker.

“The stylist will be back tomorrow, let him handle your hair maintenance plan, brother.” Yun Qi, wearing a dry hair towel, leaned close to Lin Yan and coquettishly said, “It takes a long time to cut hair, brother, come in and keep me company.”

Lin Yan, with an excuse to escape this place, got up and left without looking back.

Yun Qi, who successfully saved his brother, curled his lips and pulled Lin Yan into the VIP box.

The hairdresser Tony hadn’t returned yet. Lin Yan asked in a low voice, “Does the Yun family have stylists?”

“I was just talking nonsense.” Yun Qi picked up his phone and waved it in front of Lin Yan, smiling slyly. “The CEO novels on brother’s phone are all written like this.”
