Chapter 42: Custom Edition Cellphone_1

When they arrived, they must have negotiated with the people in the village.

The residents of Haran Village made a tidy sum from the rent, so naturally, they were pleased.

The city folks, when they pay, are quite generous.

Ellen Young nodded, stepping aside to let them push the suitcases in.

A path of bluestone slabs, wide and leading straight to the living room, was cleared in the middle.

Assistant Nana looked at Ellen, somewhat perplexed.

Is this a girl who grew up in the countryside?

She’s nothing like what I had imagined.

She had also seen other families’ children in the village when she came in.

Haran Village is located in the south, with a pleasant climate, so it’s not exaggerated to say their skin is tanned to a dark yellow, but those kids all have typical countryside traits—rough upbringing.

As for appearance, the parents don’t pay much attention, letting the kids run wild outside, their faces and bodies covered in filth, so it’s immediately obvious there’s a gap with the city kids.

Even the older children, their clothes aren’t as trendy as those in the city, and there’s always this indescribable rustic air about them.

Nana thought Ellen Young would be the same, but Ellen was beyond her expectations.

Ellen’s hair was loose, not very long, just reaching her shoulders, and the tips were a bit damp, looking as if she had just washed it.

Lucy Wood was pushing a few suitcase in with the assistants and asked, “Were you just washing your hair?”

Ellen watched them piling up the luggage without answering and instead asked, “Do you have a lot of things?”

Indeed, not just a few.

They kept rolling suitcases in, all bulging.

Lucy felt somewhat embarrassed, “You know my profession, I always need to be careful about some things.”

When recording a program, it’s best not to wear the same clothes every day, and there’s makeup, washing, skincare, and such. It’s already inconvenient in the countryside, so of course, she had to bring more things.

She also brought along a load of medications for everyday needs, just in case.

Ellen didn’t seem too emotional, simply saying, “Put them in your room, as for the rest, you can put them in the bathroom and the study.”

She pointed out a few places to Lucy, and while Lucy went to put her things away, Felicia Frost was also helping.

It was agreed that some assistants would come, but the program group said that would be too unrealistic; they wanted Lucy to manage on her own.

In the end, only the most reliable Nana was brought along, to help with Lucy’s daily affairs.

Lucy was born into the Wood Family, and after growing up, she entered the entertainment industry, always leading a life of being waited on. Although she wasn’t highly regarded in the Wood Family, she never had to do household chores herself, being somewhat of a young lady, which meant she was clueless about most things. Felicia brought Nana along to assist Ellen.

So Ellen wouldn’t feel burdened—

When she went to help put Lucy’s things away, she saw the cellphone on the table that belonged to Ellen.

Her expression turned to surprise.

She recognized that phone, it was made by the highly prestigious Wanton Group of Sina, where cellphones were just one of their industries. A few years back, they made a dramatic entrance by developing the world’s most advanced chip, named after Nuwa, and instantly dominated the foreign market, becoming a leading enterprise.

Wanton had many different models of cellphones, ranging from budget to high-end, and what surprised Felicia was that this one was Wanton’s latest luxury model.

With prices ranging from 7,999 to 9,999, Ellen’s model was a limited edition collaboration with a famous jewelry brand.

Even Lucy wanted to snap it up when it was first released, but unfortunately, she didn’t manage to.

Priced at 19,999.
