The woman was shocked by Lei Zhen's sudden price asking for the treatnt. She was a bit speechless by him for being so straightforward.
anwhile, Lei Zhen mistook her silent response for sothing else.
"Miss, the price I asked for is really reasonable." Lei Zhen said awkwardly.
And he continued, "The tweezers, alcohol disinfection, soft cotton balls, and the bandage all add up to around $60. But with my great dical services, I can guarantee the bullet wound won't leave a scar. Hence, I only charged you $85 for it which is 70% lower than the average hospital fee."
A slight 'puchi' sound emitted from the woman's mouth as she started laughing at Lei Zhen's nervousness in price asking.
It was her first ti seeing soone charging her and trying to reason himself.
"Do you really not know who I am?" She suddenly asked him.
Lei Zhen scratched his head, clearly confused by her question.
How was he supposed to know her?
Was she so sort of a famous person or a celebrity?
As a bookworm, Lei Zhen had naturally not been interested in the entertainnt industry nor read the current news.
Showing a helpless expression, Lei Zhen shrugged his shoulders and shook his head. "Sorry Miss, I don't know who you are, so I apologize if it sohow offended you."
Although the woman in front of her was extrely beautiful and her short purple hair was alluring, Lei Zhen didn't dare to harbor much intention.
He was a realistic person and understood a woman such as her would definitely not put him in her eyes. It was like comparing a pile of poop to a peerless diamond. He dared not daydream such fantasy.
anwhile, the woman held an amused expression as she could sense that he wasn't lying to her.
"Well, thanks for your ticulous treatnt. I, Liu Lingxin, will rember this debt of gratitude." The woman, Liu Lingxin introduced herself and purposely emphasized her surna, Liu.
'That should be enough hints, right?' Liu Lingxin thought. By emphasizing her surna, she believed Lei Zhen would finally know her background and be shocked to the core.
However, to her dismay, Lei Zhen held a calm expression and smiled briefly at her.
"Nice to et you, Liu Lingxin. As for my na, my tag here should have told you already." He replied and pointed at his na tag on the left side of his chest which was labeled Lei Zhen.
Liu Lingxin faked a cough when she realized she was overthinking herself.
She took out her phone and said, "You can just scan the barcode on my phone to accept the paynt."
Lei Zhen nodded his head.
Barcode scanning on the phone was another common paynt type in the year 2089.
It was just that Lei Zhen thought soone like her who had received a bullet wound would not want to use her phone to pay. After all, if she had decided to co to a convenience store to try to cure her wound, then it must have ant that she didn't want anyone else to know her location.
Still, none of this was his business since he was just trying to earn so sales from this treatnt. As for the rest, he could care less, and seeing how carefree Liu Lingxin was, there was no point in him worrying.
The saying goes that the emperor is not worried but the eunuchs are worried to death was what described the current scene. He wasn't a eunuch nor does he wish to place himself in so sticky situation.
He grabbed the barcode scanner that was placed on the counter and scanned her phone's barcode.
Beep!
The barcode scanner made a beeping sound, confirming the paynt had been successful.
"Alrighty then, Liu Lingxin, you should be fine now." Lei Zhen stood up and placed the barcode scanner back in its original position.
"If you still want to purchase sothing in the convenience store, then feel free to glance around. If you have nothing else to do here and wish to leave, then, by all ans, goodbye. I'll be returning to my work."
Liu Lingxin was originally dazed until she saw Lei Zhen returning to his work. She couldn't help but ask him in a dumbfounded tone, "You don't want my contact number?"
Lei Zhen paused his footsteps, turned around, and raised his eyebrow. "Why would I want your contact number? I know my limits and soone like you is above my league. I wouldn't dare to daydream."
With that said, he turned around and proceeded to stock up the new potato chips on the shelves, ignoring the baffled look from Liu Lingxin.
pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ Although Liu Lingxin was a beautiful woman, Lei Zhen didn't dare to harbor nefarious intentions toward her. Just a glance at the clothes she wore were all branded clothes and designed by famous people.
Not to ntion, the people she interacted with must be the big shots in the current society. He couldn't afford to interact with her and possibly bring so calamity to his normal life.
For soone like him who had no money or background, those big shots could easily have him buried alive and not a single dia would report the news.
Rather than dying without a corpse remaining, Lei Zhen preferred to be humble and earn enough money to support his sister's dical fees.
'Sigh, what an unlucky first day at work. This Liu Lingxin must be a daughter of a conglorate and have encountered her competitor's enemies. I should have been more careful and greedier. Why did I charge her only $145 for the treatnt?' Lei Zhen lanted his dumb brain.
He should have inspected her more thoroughly instead of trying to act like so saint and avoid looking at her body figure.
If he had leered at her body figure longer, then he would have noticed her branded clothes alone cost up to 300-500 thousand dollars.
While he felt like crying, Liu Lingxin remained still for a few minutes before standing up and leaving the convenience store.
Though, she made sure to sneak a final glance at Lei Zhen before muttering in a low voice, "Lei Zhen huh… why does this na sound so familiar?"
