36: Chapter 36 Revisited, Deji Square
Ai Shanshan smiled.
"Young Master Li, what brand of clothes do you want to buy? Do you have a price range in mind?"
The Two Women were speechless when they heard Li Luo wanted to buy clothes.
Big brother, you just spent nineteen million!
How are we ordinary people supposed to live!
But on second thought, if he spent nineteen million, the money for clothes was just pocket change to him!
"I don't care about brands or prices, as long as it's comfortable to wear."
The Two Women grumbled internally: Listen to that, just listen. Are those words a human would say?
An Yaxuan's expression shifted.
"Young Master Li, then let us take you to see Armani menswear. Many of their clothes don't have obvious logos. Since you're very low-key with your style, I think it would suit you. Want to go check it out?"
Li Luo's heart stirred; he often drove a ride-hailing car, so he did need to be a bit low-key with his attire.
In case one day someone took a ride-hailing car and saw that Li Luo, a driver, was dressed better than they were.
Out of jealousy, they might give him a bad review, which would be a real disaster out of nowhere. You really couldn't be sure about these things.
People fear their brothers suffering, but they fear their brothers driving a Land Rover even more.
Even among relatives, they're afraid you'll live better than they do.
Human nature is very ugly.
"Fine, that's the one. You two help me pick a few pieces, alright?"
Ai Shanshan chuckled.
"No problem, the two of us will dress you up to look super handsome."
With that, the three of them followed the signs toward the menswear section.
"Welcome to Armani, how can I help you?"
The Sales Associate's eyes lit up as she looked at the man and Two Women in front of her.
This man is definitely loaded.
An Yaxuan stepped forward.
"Take us to the menswear section."
"Certainly, please follow me, you three."
The Sales Associate led the three of them to the menswear section and turned to look at An Yaxuan.
"Ma'am, what style of clothes would you like to buy for your friend? Do you need me to help you choose?"
She didn't dare say he was her boyfriend, just in case the one next to her was the actual girlfriend!
Or even worse, both of them were his girlfriends; after all, in public, that wouldn't look good.
She didn't want her commission to go up in smoke, so saying 'friend' was the safest way.
"No need, just tell me which side has the more casual styles."
The Sales Associate pointed to the left.
"Everything on the left is casual style. There should be something you're satisfied with."
An Yaxuan turned and gave Li Luo a slight smile.
"Young Master Li, go sit in the lounge area for a bit. After Shan Shan and I finish picking for you, you can try them on one by one."
Li Luo nodded at the suggestion and went to sit in the lounge area. The Sales Associate followed and brought over a cup of warm water.
"Sir, please have some water. Call me anytime if you need anything."
"Alright, thank you!"
"You're welcome!"
The Sales Associate stood near Li Luo; after all, this sale was hers, so she had to keep an eye on it.
After a short while, the Two Women had picked out several outfits for Li Luo.
Li Luo took the clothes to the fitting room and began the try-on session.
After a round of trying things on, the Two Women had chosen four T-shirts, three pairs of casual shoes, and four pairs of casual pants for Li Luo.
"Let's just go with these!"
After just that short time.
Li Luo was getting a bit impatient with trying on clothes. One moment the Two Women would say this top wasn't right, the next they'd say the shoes didn't match.
What Li Luo hated most about buying clothes was trying them on, which was why he rarely went shopping for them.
The Sales Associate's face lit up with joy at his words.
"Sir, I'll pack these up for you. You can come with me directly to the front desk to pay."
The four of them arrived at the checkout counter.
After the cashier entered the tags into the system, they asked.
"Sir, the total is one hundred thirteen thousand eight hundred. How would you like to pay?"
"Card, please!"
Then the POS machine spat out a receipt.
"Sir, please sign here."
Li Luo casually signed his name.
He looked at the Two Women. "Help me carry these, why are you just staring at me!"
"Oh, right." The Two Women then took the shopping bags from the Sales Associate.
They had just been stunned for a moment upon hearing the cashier say over a hundred thousand; they had estimated the price to be around sixty or seventy thousand.
After all, these were all summer clothes, so they hadn't looked at the price tags when they picked them; they just took whatever looked good.
They didn't expect it to be so expensive.
They were momentarily dazed seeing Li Luo swipe his card and leave without batting an eye.
They only snapped out of it when Li Luo called them.
They couldn't help but think: Damn rich people.
Buzz! Buzz!
[Your CCB account 7320 was debited 113,800 huaxia coins at 4:30. Available balance: 80,954,402 huaxia coins]
Li Luo took out his phone and checked.
Seeing the balance, he still had eighty million. Money sure spent fast.
Then he turned off his phone and put it in his pocket.
"Let's go!" Li Luo said, taking the lead and walking out. The Two Women had no choice but to follow with the shopping bags.
They walked out under the envious gaze of the Sales Associate.
"Please come again!"
The three of them arrived outside. Men nearby sized them up, thinking: Now that's a real man!
If only I were that impressive, having two great beauties carry my things.
One man turned to the girlfriend beside him and said.
"Look at that man, he doesn't know how to cherish women at all. Not like me, holding you in the palm of my hand."
An Yaxuan, following behind Li Luo, looked at his empty hands in front of her.
Then she looked at herself and her Best Friend beside her, hands full of shopping bags. The most annoying part was that her Best Friend still had a face full of smiles.
But it was right for her Best Friend to smile; after all, Li Luo had closed such a large deal through her hands. He was even going to buy a laferrari later.
But what does that have to do with me? The car wasn't bought through me.
Up until now, you've only given me two thousand yuan, yet you treat me like your errand Girl.
But she didn't dare say it out loud; she guessed her Best Friend would be the first one not to let her off.
What's the big deal? A year's rent plus ten big meals—what's wrong with letting you carry a bag?
She said somewhat resentfully.
"Young Master Li, weren't you going to eat? Where are we going now?"
Li Luo was taken aback by An Yaxuan's slightly dissatisfied tone!
What's wrong? You're unhappy?
But on second thought, Li Luo realized it was true; he hadn't really given An Yaxuan any benefits.
Buying and selling cars, she had handled everything personally, and he had only given her two thousand yuan.
She couldn't be compared to her Best Friend.
Thinking of it that way, it was understandable.
Without looking back, he said.
"Going to buy a few outfits. Just follow me."
An Yaxuan was stunned. More clothes?
The three of them arrived at a Chanel boutique. The Two Women were a bit confused, and An Yaxuan said.
"Young Master Li, this is specifically for ladies."
Li Luo turned and glanced at her.
"Go pick something! You've worked hard accompanying me to buy cars and go shopping. Take whatever you want, I'll pay."
"Ah... you're buying for me?"
Seeing Li Luo speak so casually and freely, at this moment, Ai Shanshan suddenly found him incredibly handsome. Wasn't this exactly the kind of person she was looking for?
Even though Li Luo's words were directed at her Best Friend, he was still incredibly handsome.
[Ai Shanshan's favorability +6, current favorability 55]
[System: Ai Shanshan's favorability has reached 50 points. Reward: 5x Intermediate Cashback Cards. Cashback multiplier: 1–10x random multiplier. Stored in warehouse.] [Capped at 1 million, cannot be used cumulatively]
Holy crap!
Ai Shanshan broke through? What happened!
Li Luo had originally planned to let An Yaxuan go in and pick first, and Ai Shanshan would surely feel somewhat uncomfortable.
When the timing was right, Li Luo would then let Ai Shanshan pick. After the emotional roller coaster, she should have been able to break 50 points!
But this level 50 favorability reward is truly impressive. With good luck, tens of millions are practically guaranteed.
He just said the money was being used too fast, and here it comes.
Next is An Yaxuan, still 10 points short. I'll strive to win her over.
Looking at the reward that just arrived, Li Luo already had an idea in mind.
It's just that the system said after 50 points they become lovers. Li Luo glanced at Ai Shanshan.
Ai Shanshan was staring at Li Luo, love swirling in the depths of her eyes.
Li Luo thought to himself, if he asked Ai Shanshan to be his girlfriend now, it probably wouldn't be difficult!
Just as he was thinking, An Yaxuan's voice interrupted him.
"I don't want it. I just helped you pick a few clothes. Besides, your car purchase was also looking out for my Best Friend. I just came along to have a look."
"If you don't want it, I do! Young Master Li, I'm not buying clothes. I've had my eye on a bag for a long time. Can I buy it?"
In Ai Shanshan's heart, she already considered Li Luo one of her own, and she was already preparing to find an opportunity to make her move.
"Sure, go ahead!"
Her thoughts were exactly Li Luo's thoughts; Li Luo was more than happy for her to be like this.
If the 50 favorability reward was already this big, wouldn't 80 and 100 be even more exaggerated?
"Take your Best Friend with you and pick something for her too. Whether it's a bag or clothes, if she doesn't buy anything, you're not allowed to buy anything either."
"Fine!"
Ai Shanshan looked at her Best Friend with a long face.
"Xuan Xuan, let's go. You wouldn't want to see your Best Friend without a bag, would you?"
With that, she pulled An Yaxuan toward Chanel.
The Sales Associate at the door had noticed the three of them long ago. She wasn't blind; the logos on the shopping bags in the Two Women's hands were very clear.
She heard this man tell her to go in and pick whatever she wanted, yet that woman didn't want it.
Didn't you notice the one next to you? Her eyes are practically melting as she looks at this man.
What kind of taste does this man have? Clearly the one next to her is better looking. And that chest, oh my god!
It feels even bigger than my own butt!
And that woman clearly likes this man more.
Yet he said if she doesn't buy, he won't let the other one buy a bag.
What kind of taste is that!
Huh.
Wait, does that mean I might have a chance too? Am I really worse than the one who doesn't want anything?
Thinking this, her gaze became even more excited as she looked at Li Luo.
If Li Luo knew what she was thinking, he would definitely cough up blood.
Who the hell likes the worse one? I'm doing this for favorability!
Besides, is that just 'a little' worse? You're even a bit worse than that female car salesperson!
The kind that the system absolutely wouldn't even mention!
And so, An Yaxuan was dragged inside by her Best Friend.
"Welcome to Chanel, please come in, ladies." Seeing two Sales Associates attending to them, Li Luo was relieved.
For the sake of commission, these Sales Associates definitely wouldn't let them off easily.
It was basically a sure thing.
Li Luo called out loudly to those two Sales Associates.
"Have them buy plenty." With that, he walked toward the lounge area.
"Certainly, sir. Please go rest first. We will definitely make sure your friends are satisfied."
The other women in the store heard this and looked at the Two Women with envy. I want a boyfriend like that too!
The Girls who had boyfriends wished they could record this to show them.
Look at other men, and then look at you.
Why did they say 'boyfriend' in their hearts instead of 'friend'?
They knew these Two Women would definitely not escape this man's grasp.
If it were them, they wouldn't even try to escape; they'd want to be pinned there forever.
Being pinned by five fingers is too light; they'd want ten fingers.
How could they escape? There's simply no escaping!
Li Luo sat down in the lounge area and started scrolling through TikTok on his phone.
He saw a game streamer he followed was currently live, so he casually clicked in.
The streamer Li Luo followed was very interesting; she was a cosplayer who often cosplayed various domestic anime female characters.
Li Luo thought all the works she posted were quite good. Mainly, she looked quite 'authoritative,' though he didn't know how much of that was due to editing.
However, the main reason her fans liked her streams was that this streamer had a top-tier 'spicy strip' voice, and that included Li Luo.
Having such an authoritative face but with a voice like that—the contrast was incredibly strong.
Every time she streamed, the most common comment from fans was asking if her voice was her natural voice or produced by a sound card.
But the streamer herself always firmly insisted it was her natural voice.
Li Luo planned to top up some TikTok coins one day and send some 'Carnival' gifts to see if he could ask her out.
To see in person how much of a difference there was between reality and the internet.
On the other side, under the introduction of the Sales Associates, the Two Women had already succumbed, especially An Yaxuan as she looked at the exquisite designer bags placed before her one by one.
Her eyes had never once moved away.
Though her mouth said she didn't want it, her feet were very obedient.
With the Sales Associates repeatedly saying, "Beautiful lady, you're so pretty," "This bag really suits you perfectly," "It makes you look so elegant," and "You'll definitely be the object of envy for all the women around you when you go out."
An Yaxuan was already lost in it all.
Li Luo just then received a message from Pan Xingyue.
[Pan Xingyue: The store is having an event lately, a bunch of nonsense to deal with. Did you need something from me?]
[Li Luo: Nothing much, I just wanted to buy a watch. Didn't you say you sold watches last time?]
[Pan Xingyue: I sell Omega here, no other brands. And the prices aren't cheap. If you're just looking for something casual to wear, I don't suggest buying here.]
[Li Luo: I don't care about the brand, Omega is fine! What floor of the New Century Department Store are you on? I'll come find you in a bit. Besides, does your boss know you're pushing customers away?]
[Pan Xingyue: I already told you it's not cheap, so suit yourself. If it weren't for the fact that you treated me to seafood last time, who would bother with you! Come if you want, just don't be stunned when you see the prices. Truly, kindness is taken for granted.]
With that, she sent her location to Li Luo.
Li Luo also chuckled. This Girl Pan Xingyue was still so straightforward. She was truly good to her friends, which made it even more impossible to let her go.
"Young Master Li, we've finished picking."
Hearing the voice, Li Luo finally looked up, only to see the two Sales Associates each holding a bag.
He frowned slightly.
"After all that time, they only picked one each?"
One of the Sales Associates said with a wry smile.
"Sir, they did try on quite a lot, but in the end, they each only chose one piece and said they didn't want anything else."
The Sales Associates couldn't do anything about it either; clearly, after trying them on, they had looked very reluctant to part with them.
But no matter what they said, the Two Women each only took one item and refused to take any more.
"Then do this: all those clothes and bags they just tried on, the ones they were satisfied with after wearing and carrying them, bring them all over."
"Ah!" The Sales Associate looked bewildered.
"Ah what? Go, quickly! You don't want your commission, is that it?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Certainly, sir, please wait a moment, we'll go get them right away."
The two Sales Associates were overjoyed; they had really hit the jackpot today, meeting a real 'sugar daddy' benefactor.
