"The old men asked me to talk to you about the drones we'll be using for this military training."

"I'll put together a list and give it directly to Xiao Liu later."

"Boss, you're so generous! My old folks and I thank you in advance. How long are you going to North America this time?" Cheng Jun asked Gu Yanci.

"It's not decided yet, it depends on how smoothly things go." Gu Yanci stopped talking after saying that.

He had a slight understanding of Gu Yanci's situation, and seeing that he didn't say much, he wisely refrained from asking further. "Alright, the old men's instructions are done. I'll go back and prepare for the upcoming confrontation with these freshmen. From what I've heard, they'll make adjustments to these freshmen after military training."

After finishing his tea, Cheng Jun said goodbye and left.

"Brother, we need to go to Italy first this time. We're running low on supplies and need to restock, just in case something unexpected happens in North America. Amu has already gone to make arrangements."

Li Si reported to Gu Yanci.

"Okay, go and handle this matter, and also give some of the funds for this new product development."

"Okay, I'll go prepare now," Li Si said before going out to follow up on the matter with his secretary.

"An'an, what do you think of this?" Chu Jiaojiao showed Chu Xingyue a sunscreen.

"What do you two ladies need? I can make recommendations for you."

While talking, she recommended skincare and sunscreen products suitable for both of them, and even did a facial spa treatment for Chu Jiaojiao, applying light makeup to her face.

Chu Jiaojiao touched her face and said, "Hey, I have to say, sister, your skills are really good. I've never worn makeup before, I never thought I could look this good." She chuckled to herself as she looked in the mirror.

Chu Xingyue touched her nose and felt that Chu Jiaojiao's behavior was a bit unbearable to look at; she was too narcissistic.

The saleswoman's lips never left her mouth after being praised by Chu Jiaojiao. She found the two girls extremely interesting. When she went to pay, she took Chu Xingyue's card. The saleswoman's eyes widened as she looked at the card in her hand. This was their mall's black gold card. The cardholder didn't just enjoy a discount on the entire store, but the entire store was free.

The saleswoman was at the counter processing the checkout information. Even though the order was free, she still had to enter it into the system to track sales.

The saleswoman handed the card to Chu Xingyue with both hands. Chu Xingyue calmly accepted it and replied, "Thank you for your help."

"No trouble at all, it's my pleasure." Her standard toothy smile was pleasant to be around. Within her authority, she even gave them some portable samples. They might not need them, but whether she gave them or not was a matter of her attitude.

But the saleswoman was far from calm. "Oh my god, who can save her? She finally saw the legendary black card! I heard that only the president's favored cronies can have this card. She has an aunt who works in a middle management position in the company. Her parents asked her aunt to help them find an easier job. Her aunt saw that she was sweet-talking, pretty, and good at getting things done, so she hired her. Before she came in, her aunt specifically told her what to pay special attention to when working in the mall, and being a black card holder was one of those things."

She took out her phone and sent a message to her aunt, as well as to a few of her friends at the mall, telling them about Chu Jiaojiao and Chu Xingyue's characteristics. She also mentioned that a handsome young man was with them. She wondered why Chu Lezhi hadn't come out with them today; he had gone to a closed training camp and would be representing the school in a competition after the start of the new semester.

Xia Yiyang went shopping with his sisters, eating and drinking, and was having a great time. Although his hands were full of things, he didn't show the impatience that other boys would have. On the contrary, he enjoyed it. This was thanks to the training he received from Chu Xingyue every day. If a man couldn't even carry things while shopping with a girl, especially his closest family member, Xia Yiyang would look down on him.

There were many coffee shops in the mall, so they randomly picked one and went in.

"You guys sit down for a bit, I'll go see if I can find the mall to arrange for someone to deliver our things home," Xia Yiyang said to Chu Xingyue and Chu Jiaojiao before heading out with their things.

"The shopping malls in big cities are really different; they even offer home delivery," Chu Jiaojiao muttered, looking around the coffee shop with curiosity.

Chu Xingyue remained much calmer in the face of Chu Jiaojiao's curiosity.
