6: Chapter 6: Consumption; The School Beauty Has Excellent Taste
Li Xue was very happy to hear Jiang Jing's words.
Why? Because someone who could spend three thousand yuan to hire a companion player clearly wasn't short on money and possessed strong financial backing. Plus, Jiang Jing himself was quite handsome. Wouldn't you be happy if a tall, rich, and handsome man praised you for being pretty and even confessed that he had a crush on you?
If it were a guy who was 1.7 meters tall, with average looks and an average family background, Li Xue's favorability likely wouldn't increase if he complimented her.
If his appearance were peculiar, her favorability might even decrease…
That's just how reality is.
"Brother, should we go eat or go shopping first?" Li Xue asked Jiang Jing, covering her small mouth, looking very happy.
Jiang Jing thought for a moment and decided to spruce himself up first; after all, clothes make the man.
"Let's go buy some things first, then we can go eat."
Li Xue agreed obediently, "Okay, Brother, let's go then."
After saying that, she followed Jiang Jing.
The people around them looked away upon seeing this; in their eyes, it was just a young couple out for some fun.
During this time, Jiang Jing chatted with Li Xue on and off. Li Xue was always able to keep the conversation going smoothly without any awkward silences, providing Jiang Jing with plenty of emotional value.
A few minutes later, the two arrived at the largest shopping center in Rong City—Rong City Plaza.
Rong City Plaza was located in the city center of Rong City, a place where every inch of land was worth gold, and its footprint was indeed massive.
Numerous top luxury brands had set up shop inside.
Jiang Jing brought Li Xue to the third floor. Looking at one luxury brand store after another, he really had no idea where to start, so he turned to ask Li Xue beside him, "Do you have any good suggestions? You girls should be extremely good at things like buying clothes and coordinating outfits, right?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xue asked softly, "Brother, are you planning to choose from these luxury brand stores?"
"That's right, feel free to choose whatever you like," Jiang Jing said casually.
Li Xue looked at the row of top luxury brands on this floor, like LV, Bulgari, Hermès, Gucci…
Jiang Jing's casual tone was enough to reveal one thing: he didn't feel any heartache when spending on top luxury brands.
Li Xue now had a preliminary understanding of Jiang Jing's financial strength, so she suggested, "Then let's go to Balenciaga; their style is quite popular lately."
"Alright, let's go." Jiang Jing led Li Xue toward the Balenciaga store she pointed to.
As soon as they entered the store, a sales assistant greeted them warmly. She welcomed them with great enthusiasm, not worrying at all about whether they could afford to shop there.
Because generally, people without the financial means to shop wouldn't come in just to feel uncomfortable. Anyone who could enter had both the need to consume and the financial strength to back it up.
This was a very common effect.
"Hello, sir and miss, are you here to buy clothes? Do you have any specific requests? I can introduce and recommend some things for you!" The sales assistant was very enthusiastic, wearing a very appropriate smile on her pretty face.
"No need to trouble yourself, we'll just look around on our own." Li Xue politely declined the sales assistant.
"Alright, if you need anything, you can come find me directly." After saying this, the assistant left.
Li Xue led Jiang Jing to the men's clothing section and started selecting and coordinating outfits for him; after all, this was part of the job.
She quickly selected a shirt for him, blue and white, with a bit of velvet and some small decorative patterns.
Jiang Jing smiled and said, "That works. You can just help me pick out a whole set; otherwise, I'll have to run back and forth to the fitting room too many times, which is troublesome."
Li Xue thought this made a lot of sense, so she expanded her search range. At this moment, her desire to shop was ignited.
She viewed Jiang Jing as her own fitting model, her eyes shining as she prepared to dress him up to look incredibly handsome.
Honestly, this was also a major hobby for girls. (When I was a kid, my seatmate was a girl who always loved dressing up her Barbie dolls in different outfits…)
Soon, the pants and shoes were selected. "Try them on, I guarantee you'll look very handsome!" Li Xue declared confidently.
Jiang Jing nodded upon hearing this and headed to the fitting room with his gear.
Before long, Jiang Jing finished changing and came out. Li Xue's gaze immediately fell upon Jiang Jing, wanting to see how her taste held up.
Li Xue's eyes suddenly lit up. Jiang Jing at this moment could be described in one word—handsome!
His 185cm height combined with a handsome, angular face, and neat short hair made him look extremely spirited.
On his upper body was the shirt with decorative patterns, and on his lower body was a pair of beige casual suit trousers. There was a small design on the cuffs that made them look casual while also carrying a touch of rebelliousness.
The top two buttons of the shirt were undone by Jiang Jing, revealing his toned pectoral muscles, giving off an explosive sense of hormones.
On his feet was a pair of new-model white sneakers.
Li Xue nodded in satisfaction as she looked at him, giving a mental thumbs-up to her own taste.
[Li Xue's favorability +5]
Her eyes inadvertently swept across Jiang Jing's pectoral muscles, and a faint blush flashed across her fair cheeks. She hadn't expected this handsome guy to have such a good physique.
Just kidding, this was transformed by the system; how could he not be Indomitable if his physique wasn't good…
Li Xue looked him up and down, then selected a small leather belt for Jiang Jing to fasten, accentuating his somewhat monotonous waistline.
"So handsome!" Li Xue couldn't help but praise.
Jiang Jing had to admit that the beauty's taste was truly good.
If it were up to Jiang Jing to choose, it would probably be a short-sleeved shirt + joggers + sneakers, known as the "death trio"…
Now, standing in front of the mirror, Jiang Jing couldn't help but admire himself: Who does this big hunk belong to?
At this moment, the sales assistant also walked over. Looking at Jiang Jing, she praised him repeatedly: "Sir, your girlfriend has such good taste! The outfit she picked for you really suits you very well!"
Jiang Jing was very cocky: "Yeah, I think so too!"
"So, sir, are you planning to purchase it? If you buy it now, we can give you a 5% discount."
Jiang Jing smiled slightly upon hearing this. The sales assistants at these luxury stores were all very shrewd; they could always make you have a strong desire to buy.
"Alright, I'll take this set. Let's pay directly."
The sales assistant happily led Jiang Jing to the front desk to settle the bill. As the receipt printed from the POS machine, Jiang Jing took a look—it really wasn't cheap.
This set cost ninety thousand yuan, but for Jiang Jing, it was just pocket change, no different from spending nine mao.
"Let's go, to the next store." Jiang Jing planned to buy a few more sets; after all, the school beauty's taste was truly excellent, so it was perfect to buy a few more to rotate through.
The two left amidst the sales assistant's smiles, and Jiang Jing took the school beauty to browse other luxury stores.
Li Xue brought Jiang Jing to the LV next door.
"Welcome to Louis Vuitton. Is there anything you need, sir and miss? I can help you with some recommendations."
Looking at the handsome man and beautiful woman in front of her, the assistant was very enthusiastic. Having long since trained her sharp eyes, she could tell at a glance that the outfit Jiang Jing was wearing was the new collection from the Balenciaga next door.
As usual, they declined the assistant's recommendations and let Li Xue take the lead.
Before long, at Jiang Jing's strong request, Li Xue selected several sets of clothes, pants, and shoes. Since he trusted Li Xue's taste, Jiang Jing didn't try them on one by one (mainly because he found it troublesome) and just swiped his card to pay.
They spent a total of nearly five hundred thousand yuan. Jiang Jing calmly took back his card, but Li Xue, standing beside him, was not calm at all.
