97: Chapter 97 The Pig Stealing the Cabbage

The third floor of Zone A in the Huaqiangbei electronics market.

This was the largest distribution hub for digital Photography equipment in Shenzhen.

A very upscale shop was located here.

The large, transparent glass display window was polished until it was spotless.

Inside, there was a dazzling array of professional Photography equipment.

From mirrorless cameras to top-tier cinema lenses, everything was available.

At this moment, besides a few staff members wearing uniforms inside the shop, two people were also sitting on the leather sofa behind the counter.

One was a middle-aged woman who looked elegant and luxurious.

Her name was Store Owner, and she was the proprietress of this equipment shop.

Sitting next to her was a young man who was dressed very smartly.

This young man was none other than Lin Yuxi's university classmate, Chen Zhuo.

At this moment, Chen Zhuo's face was filled with irrepressible excitement.

"Mom, a classmate of mine is coming over to buy some equipment in a while."

Chen Zhuo leaned in close to Store Owner and lowered his voice.

"You absolutely must give a bigger discount!"

Watching her son's eager, monkey-like appearance, Store Owner felt a sense of gratification in her heart.

It was the gratification of watching the pig she raised finally learn to root for some cabbage.

She curled the corners of her mouth into a playful smile.

"Listening to your tone, it's a female classmate, right?"

Chen Zhuo was exposed by his mother and immediately felt a bit embarrassed.

He scratched his head and nodded honestly, admitting it.

"Yeah, it's a female classmate."

Store Owner watched her son's bashful appearance.

She finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Show me a picture of this girl."

"As long as I'm satisfied with what I see, I'll give her a huge discount."

Chen Zhuo heard this and immediately got anxious.

"Mom, what are you doing!"

He appeared very embarrassed, his face even turning a bit red.

"Hurry up and take it out, don't dilly-dally."

Store Owner reached out and patted her son on the shoulder.

"I really want to see what kind of girl she is."

"To be able to make your blockhead suddenly wake up."

Speaking of which, Store Owner's biggest worry was her son's relationship problems.

Chen Zhuo used to be entirely focused on his studies, and his grades were indeed good.

After graduation, he also put all his heart into working with the family business.

But when it came to relationships, he was simply a slow-witted nerd.

As his mother, she had been worrying about this for a long time.

Now that she saw her son finally had a target of affection, she was naturally itching with curiosity.

Although Chen Zhuo felt a bit embarrassed, he actually had a desire to show off a little bit.

After all, Lin Yuxi's looks were recognized as school belle level at university.

He immediately took out his phone and started scrolling through his photo album.

He soon found that large group photo taken during university graduation.

He zoomed in on the picture and pointed to a girl standing on the edge.

"Mom, it's her, her name is Lin Yuxi."

Store Owner fixed her gaze in the direction her son was pointing.

Her eyes immediately lit up, and she was filled with amazement.

The girl in the photo was wearing a simple bachelor's gown.

But that cold and stunning face was flawless.

Especially that unique, cold, and otherworldly temperament.

She stood out like a crane among a flock of chickens in a large group of graduates.

Store Owner sighed to herself in her heart.

No wonder she could make her own slow-witted son instantly wake up.

Such an exquisite and beautiful girl—who wouldn't be captivated?

Seeing his mother staring intently, Chen Zhuo felt even more proud.

He opened the short video app on his phone again.

He found Lin Yuxi's account in his following list.

He casually clicked on a makeover video with a high view count.

He handed the phone to Store Owner.

"Mom, she's an internet celebrity who makes makeover videos now."

Store Owner took the phone and watched it seriously.

In the video, Lin Yuxi was wearing a gorgeous ancient costume.

Combined with exquisite makeup and perfectly timed camera movements, she looked just like an unparalleled fairy who had walked out of a painting.

Store Owner looked at the comment section below.

She discovered that most of her followers were female fans who liked looking at beautiful women.

This made her impression of this girl even better.

Store Owner returned the phone to her son and asked casually.

"Does Lin make a lot of money being an internet celebrity?"

Chen Zhuo put away his phone and shook his head.

"Probably not much. Last time she came to me to buy equipment, she bought the cheapest second-hand items in my shop."

Hearing this, Store Owner immediately had a calculation in her mind.

She felt that this girl's family situation probably wasn't very good.

Her income from being an internet celebrity probably wasn't particularly high either.

Otherwise, why wouldn't she be able to afford a new set of equipment?

Although this girl was indeed extremely outstanding in appearance, compared to her own family's conditions, theirs were definitely considered good.

This large storefront in Huaqiangbei, plus several properties owned by the family, amounted to at least tens of millions in assets.

Calculating it this way, her son and the girl were actually a good match.

After Chen Zhuo finished showing off, his heart started drumming again.

"It's just... Classmate Lin is always very cold and aloof."

"When I send her messages, she often takes half a day to reply with one sentence."

Chen Zhuo's tone revealed a trace of obvious nervousness and lack of confidence.

Store Owner looked at her son's spineless appearance.

She patted her thigh with great confidence.

"What are you afraid of? Our family's conditions aren't bad."

"You are good-looking and work hard."

"It's a perfect match for this girl, you two are well-suited!"

Chen Zhuo heard his mother's praise.

His nervous heart finally settled down quite a bit.

"Mom, are you really telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true, would Mom lie to you?"

Store Owner nodded vigorously, giving her son some peace of mind.

However, she was secretly planning in her heart.

Although her son looked a bit slow and didn't know how to please girls, today, she, as his mother, was personally presiding over things here.

When that girl arrives later, she would just need to provide a few assists.

She would definitely be able to help her son make this good thing happen.

After all, Lin Yuxi's image and temperament were truly top-notch.

Even for someone like Store Owner, who started from scratch with her husband and now ran such a large equipment shop, having seen all kinds of people, she was also very satisfied with this future daughter-in-law.

Next, she simply started chatting with her son.

In between their words, she directly imparted quite a few tactics and knowledge about pursuing girls.

Chen Zhuo nodded repeatedly as he listened, as if a door to a new world had been opened.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Zhang Qi was driving that rolls-royce phantom.

It had already smoothly driven into the underground garage near the Huaqiangbei electronics market.

Zhang Qi skillfully parked the car in a spacious VIP parking spot.

He decisively turned off the engine, pushed open the car door, and stepped out.

Lin Yuxi also quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car after him.

The underground garage was a bit stuffy, and the air was filled with the smell of car exhaust.

Lin Yuxi followed beside Zhang Qi, nervously twisting the corner of her clothes with both hands.

On her cold face, her brows were slightly furrowed.

Her heart was still worrying about meeting that enthusiastic male classmate in a while.

This look of heavy-heartedness naturally couldn't escape Zhang Qi's eyes.

Zhang Qi looked at her, the corners of his mouth curling into a faint smile.

He didn't point out Lin Yuxi's little social anxiety thoughts.

He just took calm steps and walked towards the elevator lobby.

Lin Yuxi quickly quickened her pace and obediently followed him.

The two took the elevator and arrived directly at the third floor of Zone A in the electronics market.

As soon as the elevator door opened, a wave of noisy heat rushed towards them.

The entire third floor was filled with shops selling all kinds of Photography equipment.

People were coming and going in the aisles, and the sounds of bargaining rose and fell.

As a person with severe social anxiety, Lin Yuxi instantly felt completely uncomfortable.

She subconsciously leaned closer to Zhang Qi.

As if only by standing beside this powerful man could she feel a bit more secure.

Zhang Qi felt her nervousness and slightly turned his body.

He used his broad shoulders to block a few passersby who were brushing past them.

This subtle action caused a warm current to surge in Lin Yuxi's heart.

She raised her head and looked at Zhang Qi with eyes full of gratitude.

"Where is your classmate's shop?"

Zhang Qi looked at the dense signs around them and asked casually.

Lin Yuxi quickly took out her phone and checked the location sent by Chen Zhuo.

"It's at the corner ahead, called Zhuoran Photography Equipment."

She reached out her fair fingers and pointed in the direction to the front right.

Zhang Qi nodded and led her towards that direction.

Soon, the two arrived in front of that luxuriously decorated shop.

The large glass door was open, and the air conditioning inside was turned on very high.

Lin Yuxi took a deep breath, suppressing her inner resistance.

She took a step and followed Zhang Qi into the equipment shop.

At this moment, she had no idea.

She hadn't just conquered that stiff male classmate from university.

Even the classmate's shrewd mother had already been conquered by her.
