Love Apartment: The All-Around Comedian

Hearing this, Lin Wanyu was a little confused and asked, "Since you, Teacher Zeng, don't follow fashion, why do you subscribe to this fashion magazine?"

"He's probably drunk."

Su Mingyang smiled and handed the freshly made iced coffee to Zeng Xiaoxian.

Zeng Xiaoxian thanked him, took the coffee and took a hearty sip, saying, "I didn't drink too much. I was just lucky to get this magazine. And Mingyang, you should know that this magazine is extremely high-end; it's not something you can just subscribe to if you have money."

"Is this high-end magazine some kind of magazine that a fashionista just dropped from the sky and delivered to your hands?"

Su Mingyang raised an eyebrow.

"Haha, that's a really high-level idea."

Lin Wanyu smiled.

"hehe."

Zeng Xiaoxian chuckled dryly, "Actually, it was a free gift in a lucky draw when I bought fried dough sticks."

Su Mingyang: ""

Lin Wanyu flipped through the magazine and casually said, "No matter how it came about, it's all free."

0 "

"Wanyu, you're overthinking it. There's no such thing as a free lunch."

Su Mingyang shrugged.

"I see."

Hearing this, Lin Wanyu nodded, looked at Zeng Xiaoxian, and waited for his answer.

"Mingyang is right."

Zeng Xiaoxian's face was full of dejection. "I won three free issues of the monthly magazine, and then I filled out a survey, and I was inexplicably and automatically upgraded to a member."

"See, Wanyu? It's all a setup."

Su Mingyang shook his head.

Zeng Xiaoxian covered his face, on the verge of tears.

"All right."

Lin Wanyu pouted, thought for two seconds, and asked, "So upgrading to a membership will cost money, right?"

"Of course, regular members receive a bi-monthly magazine for 79 yuan per month, gold members receive a weekly magazine for 159 yuan per month, and platinum members receive a double weekly magazine for 499 yuan per month."

Lin Wanyu asked curiously, "What kind of member are you?"

"Diamond Membership! Three issues a week! 599 per month!"

Zeng Xiaoxian's face instantly turned ferocious. "And it's released from the 5th to the 15th of each month, 1 on the 10th, 2 on the 20th, and 30 on the 30th."

Special editions and extra editions are released on the birthdays of the editors-in-chief of major and minor programs; I've tried it three times.

3. Read two books a week.

At this point, Zeng Xiaoxian tilted his head: "Let me think, I haven't read five hundred books."

"All I can say is, Teacher Zeng, you're really rich."

After listening, Su Mingyang patted Zeng Xiaoxian on the shoulder, completely speechless.

He just did a rough calculation.

Diamond members receive the 20th issue of January.

Zeng Xiaoxian reads six books in a month.

There are still twelve books I haven't read.

It has now accumulated to more than 500 books.

This means he has subscribed to this magazine for at least thirty months, at 599 yuan per month, which means he has spent around 20,000 yuan.

Wow, you know, this guy was living in a cheap apartment that cost 50 yuan a few months ago when he came back.

Chapter 231 The biggest joke of the century!

"Ha, the idea that I'm rich is the biggest joke of the century."

Zeng Xiaoxian looked at Su Mingyang, his eyes filled with bitterness. "After paying back the six thousand yuan rent you lent me, I only have enough left for basic living expenses, unlike you, who has already bought a house."

Su Mingyang shrugged, picked up his coffee, and took a sip.

Lin Wanyu frowned, puzzled, and said, "If that's the case, why bother subscribing? Wouldn't it be better to just unsubscribe and save the 599 to buy snacks and watch a movie?"

Zeng Xiaoxian's face fell: "Do you think I don't want this? Do you think I want hundreds of yuan to be inexplicably deducted from my bank account every month? I've tried it. Their unsubscribe hotline automatically forwards calls to the subscription hotline, and the person who answers the phone is a foreigner who speaks English that I can't understand a word of."

Lin Wanyu suggested, "Then we can just go to the magazine office to cancel the subscription."

"well."

Zeng Xiaoxian lowered his brows and said helplessly, "Wanyu, you don't know, some things are very difficult for us men! Mingyang should understand me."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanyu looked at Su Mingyang with a questioning gaze.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Zeng, I don't understand."

Su Mingyang shrugged.

Zeng Xiaoxian: ""

Lin Wanyu covered her mouth and chuckled.

Su Mingyang continued, "It's just unsubscribing from a magazine, I don't think it's difficult at all. Compared to that, getting Ziqiao to pay back the money is much harder."

"Yes."

Lin Wanyu nodded in agreement.

"Mingyang, both of those things you mentioned are very difficult for me!"

Zeng Xiaoxian gritted his teeth and said.

Lin Wanyu held up a magazine, puzzled. "But what's so difficult about unsubscribing from this magazine?"

Zeng Xiaoxian reached out and took it, pointing to the cover and saying, "This is a fashion magazine that claims to be the trendiest in the city!"

"I can also claim to be the most handsome man in the world."

Su Mingyang joked.

I agree.

Lin Wanyu's eyes curved into crescent moons.

"Haha, of course, Wanyu, you are also the most beautiful girl in the world."

Su Mingyang patted Wanyu's head, his eyes full of tenderness.

"whee."

Lin Wanyu squinted comfortably, as if she had turned into a kitten, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

"Ahem, could you two please stop interrupting?"

Seeing the two of them start showing affection at the drop of a hat, Zeng Xiaoxian coughed twice, his eyes filled with resentment.

Lin Wanyu smiled shyly: "Go on."

Su Mingyang also gestured for Zeng Xiaoxian to continue.

Zeng Xiaoxian composed himself before continuing, "It's a limited edition fashion magazine, supposedly only 200 sets were released citywide, and I'm a diamond member."

"Putting the magazine itself aside, this logo alone proves that I'm among the top two thousand most fashionable men in the city, and perhaps not even the second thousandth."

Lin Wanyu was confused: "But what does this have to do with you wanting to unsubscribe from this magazine?"

"Uh"

Zeng Xiaoxian was stumped by the question and awkwardly replied, "Okay, I admit I can't bring myself to do it. You can imagine what I would say if the receptionist at the cancellation counter asked me if I was sure I wanted to leave the top fashion industry."

Su Mingyang: "I'm out of money, I can't afford to book."

Lin Wanyu almost burst out laughing; those words were way too direct.

""

Zeng Xiaoxian nearly spat out his coffee, his lips twitched, and he said with a bitter face, "Mingyang, don't kid me. I'm a well-known media figure. How can you expect me to say something like that? Where does that leave my pride?"

As he spoke, Zeng Xiaoxian patted his face.

"face"

Su Mingyang raised an eyebrow. "At the last party, when people asked you for autographs, you pulled out a dozen autographed photos and offered them to them. Where's your sense of propriety?"

"How can that be the same? I was short of money at the time. Besides, selling my autographed photos to fans was a win-win situation for both parties. How can you say I lost face?"

Zeng Xiaoxian weakly retorted.

Su Mingyang was speechless: "Was anyone willing to buy it back then?"

Zeng Xiaoxian opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. He smiled wryly and said, "Uh, let's get back to talking about the magazine."

At this moment, Lin Wanyu was browsing through the magazine when she pointed to a line of small print and read aloud:
