Chapter 54: A Million-Dollar Suit, Is Lu Shenwei Showing Off?

Just as the time was set, before Lu Shenwei could hang up, Zhou Wen’s call came in.

“Director Zhou’s call came in. Let’s talk about it tomorrow when we meet.”

Lu Shenwei said, then answered Zhou Wen’s call.

“You’re quite something, kid. You’ve been sanctioned by the Eagle Sauce Defense Department again, and you’ve caused quite a stir.”

“Director Zhou, they were bullying people. I had no choice.”

Lu Shenwei spread his hands helplessly. They were shitting and pissing on our heads; how could we tolerate that? If I didn’t screw them, I wouldn’t be worthy of being called a Dragon Xia man!

“Hehe, young people have ideas.”

Zhou Wen said with a chuckle. Lu Shenwei probed in a low voice, “You don’t blame me?”

“Blame you for what? You’re the first Dragon Xia enterprise that dared to confront the Eagle Sauce Defense Department. We don’t have enough time to praise you.”

“To be honest with you, I’ve wanted to do this for a long time. If it weren’t for Dragon Xia being a land of etiquette, a full-frontal assault would be a light matter!” Lu Shenwei said with a chuckle.

“You can make a scene, but don’t go overboard. You handled this wave of public opinion well. ‘I Steal Oil for My Motherland’ has been covered in multiple versions and spread, and the effect is even stronger than two years of external propaganda.”

The world has suffered under Qin for too long. How many people are thinking of entering the pass and making the Eagle Sauce old geezer cough up money?

It’s a pity that a starving camel is still bigger than a horse, and the Eagle Sauce is still holding on by a thread.

But now that Julong Steel is emerging, various forces naturally follow closely, creating a frenzy.

I can’t beat you, but I can disgust you to death, right?

“You should have said so earlier. I still have some trump cards up my sleeve.”

“Let’s talk business. Who planned this external propaganda campaign of yours? The Municipal Bureau’s propaganda department wants to invite him to guide their work.”

“Ah? Is that appropriate?”

The Municipal Bureau’s propaganda department is a legitimate and powerful department, responsible for online public opinion supervision and value guidance.

“Originally, the propaganda department was supposed to liaison with you, but their director heard that we were familiar, so he asked me to pass on a message.”

“So that’s how it is. However, you are most familiar with the planning of this event.”

“Me familiar? Who is it? It can’t be Old Ma, can it?”

“Your nephew, Zhou Cun, our factory office’s propaganda head.”

“He has this ability? Why didn’t I know?”

If it was really his own nephew who planned it, then the Old Zhou family’s ancestral graves must have been smoking green.

“You can ask him in detail later.”

The two exchanged a few pleasantries and ended the call.

The next day, in Bai Xiaoying’s live stream.

“Hi everyone! Look who I’ve got here?”

Bai Xiaoying pulled Lu Shenwei into the frame. Lu Shenwei smiled and said, “Hello everyone, I’m Lu Shenwei.”

“The sun has risen from the west! Director Lu is in Xiao Ying’s live stream again?”

“This is truly a dream linkage. Could it be that Xiao Ying succeeded?”

“Xiao Ying, I advise you to cherish this. Looking at all the rich people in Dragon Xia, Director Lu is the only one younger than you.”

Bai Xiaoying ignored the fans’ teasing: “Today’s live stream theme is ‘A Billionaire’s Simple and Unpretentious Day’, and the protagonist is Director Lu.”

“How much did it cost to get Director Lu here?”

“Don’t you know? Director Lu and Xiao Ying are friends. When Julong Steel was being slandered across the entire network, Xiao Ying strongly supported Julong Steel.”

“I remember that. A lot of traitors caused a ruckus in the live stream.”

The fans chatted excitedly, and Bai Xiaoying took Lu Shenwei into the Qinchuan SKP International Shopping Center.

“Live shopping? Spreading dog food on the spot? What crime did I commit?”

“Every cut stabs the heart, utterly outrageous!”

“Director Lu, when can you lift the sales restrictions on drones and steel pipes? Our family is waiting for water pipes for renovation.”

“Orders surged a few days ago, and the production line can’t keep up. It’s estimated it won’t recover until next month,” Lu Shenwei explained.

“Home renovation? Using Julong Steel Pipe? Stop pretending, I remember you boasted about a 20,000 steel pipe order. Can renovation use that much?”

“Brother upstairs, don’t be so outrageous, your abacus beads are practically bouncing off Director Lu’s face.”

Bai Xiaoying ignored the fans’ comments and spotted a Chinese-style formal dress: “How about this one?”

“It has lace, not very formal,” Lu Shenwei thought for a moment.

For the guangyu silent sea trial, all the attendees were military leaders, so it had to be formal and appropriate.

Bai Xiaoying asked, “What’s the occasion? What’s the budget?”

“A serious and grand occasion. As for the budget, don’t make it too expensive, preferably no more than 1 million yuan,” Lu Shenwei mused.

“Listen, is that even human language? ‘Not too expensive, no more than 1 million yuan’!”

“Tyrannically rich! 1 million yuan can buy a house!”

“I can’t watch this live stream anymore, I’m having a heart attack!”

“Pants with gold trim don’t even cost 1 million yuan, Director Lu. I’m a senior tailor, I can make you a hundred custom-fit suits for 1 million yuan.”

“Damn it! I’m crying with envy, I’m so sour, truly sour!”

Bai Xiaoying was speechless upon hearing this. He just casually took out 1 million yuan?

What event was Director Lu going to attend, the Dragon Xia Supreme Elder Council?

“A 1 million budget is definitely ample, we have many choices.”

The thought of a 1 million yuan dress made Bai Xiaoying feel like her heart was on fire.

She worked hard, exposing herself to the public, and only earned a few hundred thousand a month from live streaming.

And that was only because she leveraged Julong Steel’s massive traffic; otherwise, earning over ten thousand a month from live streaming was rare.

“If you two have ample budget, you can look at our Prosperous Attire series. A complete set is only 198,000 yuan,” the saleslady said with a sweet smile.

“Prosperous Attire, a masterpiece by a top Italy designer. 198,000 yuan is considered extremely cost-effective.”

“Upstairs, are you speaking human language? A suit for 198,000 yuan? And you’re talking about cost-effectiveness with me? Do you really think everyone is a rich person?”

“For Director Lu, 198,000 yuan really isn’t expensive, it’s not even as expensive as a meal.”

Bai Xiaoying examined the clothes: “It looks decent. How about trying it on?”

A black suit, a light blue plain shirt, a navy tie—elegant yet grand.

Lu Shenwei nodded and said, “Alright.”

Ten minutes later, Lu Shenwei, dressed in a sharp suit, walked out of the fitting room.

Bai Xiaoying’s eyes lit up. Director Lu is so handsome!

“He is like jade among men, a peerless young master! This phrase describes Director Lu, doesn’t it?”

“Clothes make the man, and Director Lu will definitely look awesome wearing this out.”

“Is it alright?” Lu Shenwei asked.

Bai Xiaoying examined him: “I still feel like something is missing. Oh, right, the leather shoes.”

“Director Lu’s outfit is incredible; he’ll definitely turn heads wearing it out.”

“I’d say Xiao Ying has good taste. Get together! Get together!”

“How about these two pairs? The black one is simple and grand, the brown one is understated and luxurious. Both are made from Italy top-grain calfskin,” the saleslady said almost fawningly.

In the past two years, with the economic downturn, even the luxury goods industry has suffered.

Diamonds and gemstones are no longer being bought, and the clothing luxury sector is in decline.

“What do you think?” Lu Shenwei asked.

Bai Xiaoying thought for a moment and hadn’t spoken yet when the saleslady interjected, “Black is versatile, brown is eye-catching. Either choice works, but it depends on your boyfriend’s wearing habits.”

Boyfriend? What the heck?

Lu Shenwei was too lazy to explain. Bai Xiaoying frowned and said, “He’s a friend!”
