Xin Jing...
Chapter 38: Three 8 Billion "Where have we met before?"...
The next day, a high-end luxury brand's new products of the season arrived. Xin Jingli contacted the store and asked them to bring all the clothes, bags and shoes to her home to try them out one by one.
Now your appearance has improved and your physical strength has recovered. You don’t have to worry about fainting. Wear beautiful skirts and high heels. Buy them sooner and enjoy them sooner.
Xin Jingli changed into a light pink miniskirt and paired it with high heels.
Siah He was sitting on the sofa, and the salesgirls standing next to him were stunned.
"Sister...sister...
"Wow... Miss Xin..."
They spoke in unison, their eyes fixed on her, as if glued to her, unwilling to move away for a moment.
"Sister, you too..."
"What's wrong?" Xin Jingli lowered his head and looked at himself. "Doesn't it look good?"
She likes this set very much.
I have never worn this kind of clothes before. Firstly, this kind of beautiful girl-like skirt requires temperament to support it, otherwise it will look tacky.
Secondly, she only earned 4,300 yuan a month at the time, and this dress cost more than 200,000 yuan, and the shoes cost more than 300,000 yuan. She didn't even dare to take a look when she passed by the door, let alone go into the store to try them on.
Seeing everyone's big reaction, Xin Jingli was worried.
Is it because they look tacky when they wear it, but they are too embarrassed to say it, so they can only look at themselves like this?
"Or... I'll go change." She scratched her temples awkwardly.
When he turned around, Siah immediately stopped him, "No need to change! Just this set!"
He jumped off the sofa, walked behind her, pushed her shoulders and walked to the full-length mirror, pointing at her in the mirror with a smile on his face.
"look!"
Xin Jingli was stunned.
As expected, clothes make the man. She had always worn loose sportswear before, and even though her appearance had improved, she never paid much attention to herself.
Now, looking at himself in new clothes, Xin Jingli was also stunned.
A slender waist, fair limbs, and a plain but rosy face.
It really looks good.
Siah is a standard handsome guy. At this moment, he bent down slightly and moved closer to her. In the mirror, she and he seemed to be equally good-looking, even... a little matched.
The system pops up a prompt: [The host's appearance has been detected to be rising. Currently, the host's appearance is 80. ]
"Huh? This can also improve appearance?" Xin Jingli talked to the system in his mind.
Moreover, it increased so much in one go.
System: [The host's outfit change has a magnifying effect on their appearance, so the value increases.]
Xin Jingli is in my heart. According to the ratings, she is now in the category of... 8 points for appearance?!
She scored 8 points and Shiah scored 8.7, no wonder.
But, she was already pretty, so why didn't Siah's favorability increase? His eyes were clearly full of admiration, and he didn't want to look away for a moment.
Xin Jingli secretly retrieved the data in his mind and immediately knew the reason.
The charm value is 1.
All right.
She accepted the fact that she was not attractive now.
Also accept the fact that you have become more beautiful, and there will be more good things like this in the future!
Xin Jingli was secretly delighted and tried to calm himself down.
I chose seven or eight sets of dresses and shoes, as well as matching bags, each set costing more than one million yuan.
The total amount was more than 10 million yuan, and Xin Jingli paid it readily. After all, they used the rich man’s card, not hers.
The salesgirls couldn't stop smiling.
"Miss Xin has a great figure. These suit your temperament!"
"She's beautiful, even in a sack. It's an honor for the dress to be worn by Miss Xin!"
"I can't take my eyes off her. Miss Xin's legs are so long, and with high heels, her proportions are even more amazing."
Everyone praised her so sweetly that she was completely ecstatic.
Although he knew it was flattery, Xin Jingli liked to hear it.
"The little girls are so sweet!" She said happily and gave a tip of 100,000 yuan to each person.
Now, the salesgirls were even more delighted.
For a moment, the whole villa was filled with joy.
After they left, Xin Jingli sat back on the sofa.
"Sister." Siah came closer.
He stayed here for two days and two nights, and his complexion and strength became better and better. It was not because of the house, but because of Xin Jingli.
So he wanted to test who was actually responsible.
"Are you free today? Come out and play with me~" He grabbed Xin Jingli's arm and shook her.
Xin Jingli was just dizzy from the praise, and before she could even smile, there was a handsome little brother acting coquettishly beside her. For a moment, she felt so happy that she nodded repeatedly.
"Go, go, go with you."
I have nothing to do anyway.
"Then I'm going to the playground!"
Buzz-
Just as he was about to agree, Xin Jingli's phone rang, with WeChat messages and memos reminding him at the same time.
One was a reminder from the 4S store to pick up the car, which she left.
One is a reminder to buy a birthday present for Aunt Xue, left by the original owner.
Two things happening at once, oh no, three things, and now there's Siah.
Siah also saw the message, pouted, and acted coquettishly, asking her to choose him.
If I refuse now, Shiah's favorability will definitely drop.
"Yah, how about this, I finish these things today and spend the whole day with you tomorrow, okay?"
It's just empty promises. Her boss used to do that when she was working there.
Siah He originally wanted to do an experiment. Anyway, she agreed to go with him, and it didn't matter whether it was today or tomorrow. But he was worried that she was just making excuses, so he pouted and stuck out his little finger.
"Make a promise! Sister, you are not allowed to lie to me anymore!"
Xin Jingli hooked it up, "I won't lie to you."
There is indeed no schedule for tomorrow, and she hasn't been to the amusement park for a long time, so it's a good opportunity for her to relax.
After dealing with Xiayahe, Xin Jingli called the 4S store and asked them to prepare another sports car. She would not go there, and someone else would pick up the car.
After taking care of these things, she put on her backpack and went out, turning towards the small villa next door.
Jin Jingfang was worried about his sister's condition. When Xin Jingli didn't go out and didn't need him, he would stay in the living room of the villa to video chat with his sister, supervise her eating, sleeping, etc., and occasionally tutor her in her homework so that she would not fall behind when she recovered from her illness and went back.
When Xin Jingli came over, his sister had just said happy birthday to him and ended the call.
He looked up and his breathing hitched.
The boss is...especially different today.
Her hair is smooth, her figure is graceful, she is wearing high heels, and her legs are long...
He looks exactly like a rich man, with confidence emanating from his temperament, clothing, and behavior.
It turns out that she was really pretending before, pretending to be ugly and having bad skin. Now that she has experienced enough life, she finally returned to her original state.
Realizing that he had been staring at her for too long and it was not polite, Jin Jingfang immediately turned his gaze away.
Xin Jingli ignored him. Jin Jingfang was originally indifferent, and his favorability was the most difficult to improve. He was not within her hunting range, so she just needed to do her bodyguard work.
"You don't have to follow me today. Go to the store and help me pick up the car. Then take a day off and go back to have dinner with my sister."
When Jin Jingfang signed the contract, his ID information said that today was his birthday. He and his sister depended on each other for survival, and he should have celebrated his birthday with his sister in the past, so they let him take a day off.
Although he is a bodyguard, he still needs to show humanistic care.
She had just fought with Qin Mo, and there were no enemies of hers in Dongcheng for the time being, so there was no safety risk.
-
After giving instructions to Jin Jingfang, Xin Jingli went out.
Aunt Xue is a real Dongcheng native, a landlady, and a middle-aged woman. This kind of people may not look well-dressed and have little money in their pockets, but in fact, no one knows how much savings their family has saved, so they are definitely not short of gold.
If you want to give her a gift, you can't be as casual as other people her age.
Xin Jingli got into a taxi and drove slowly along the street.
The driver was a local, so Xin Jingli chatted with him and also asked about the hobbies of middle-aged people in Dongcheng.
"If that auntie isn't short of money, she'd probably like some antiques, like plates and porcelain. You can go to the southeast alley and take a look; it's full of those kinds of things."
Xin Jingli was not from Dongcheng and didn't know where this alley was, so he just followed the driver there.
After getting off the car, paying and saying thank you, Xin Jingli turned around and couldn't help but exclaim.
The alley is decorated in the old times, with wooden doors, wooden plaques, wooden paper windows, etc., and bluestone slabs. As soon as you step in, you can smell the wood fragrance, which makes you feel quiet, and it is two different worlds from the outside world with tall buildings and hustle and bustle.
The bluestone streets are spacious and sparsely populated, with only three or five people occasionally. All the shops are open, including chess halls, calligraphy and painting galleries, teahouses, etc.
Xin Jingli walked for a while and stopped in front of a Tan shop.
The interior is decorated like an inn, with black shelves on both sides, on which are placed various porcelains and bracelets with beads. The air is filled with the scent of sandalwood, and from time to time there is the crisp and powerful sound of chess pieces falling.
She walked in. On the left was a translucent screen with a landscape painting. Behind her, a man in black new Chinese clothes with bamboo embroidered on his collar sat next to a chessboard. He was spinning a black bracelet in his left hand and picking up white pieces with his right hand. He had placed many pieces, but there was no one opposite him.
He is playing chess with himself.
The man has fair skin, a delicate profile, indifferent eyes, and a scholarly air.
Perhaps he noticed someone coming in, his pupils moved slightly towards her, then fell back onto the chessboard, ignoring her.
Xin Jingli waited for the system to pop up a prompt. After all, judging from the silhouette, the high nose bridge, clear lip line, and slender and delicate hands all scored more than nine points.
But no, there was no sound from the system.
Is it because his character is not good enough?
It was the same thing last time with Zhang Ziyang. His character was not good enough, so he didn’t give her the information. It was only after she asked the system that it gave it to her.
He is so handsome, but he is not a good person. What a pity.
Xin Jingli sighed.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a set of blue and white porcelain bowls on the shelf.
The last time she moved out, she had seen the decor of Aunt Xue's house, which was mostly made of wood. This set of blue and white porcelain bowls was made of the Pingdengqing material, which had a light and elegant color and matched perfectly with the wooden furniture.
Wanting to see its details, Xin Jingli walked inside.
"Sorry, miss." A woman in a dark patterned cheongsam stopped her and said with a smile, "You can't go in."
Xin Jingli was puzzled. They opened the store for business but didn’t allow customers to enter to look at the merchandise?
"I want to see that set." She pointed to the blue and white porcelain bowl.
The set of blue and white porcelain bowls was closest to the screen, and many people wanted it. Zhuang Lingqing just smiled.
She is Tan Jingfan's assistant and also the manager of Tan's shop, responsible for helping Tan Jingfan take care of the business here.
Tan Jingfan likes this shop very much. After finishing his work at the company and live broadcasting, he will come here to drink tea and play chess.
There are many people coming to the store to look at things, and more of them come to see Tan Jingfan.
Especially the girl dressed like this, with an expensive little skirt, expensive high heels, and an expensive handbag, she must be the daughter of a wealthy family in Dongcheng.
She had encountered this kind of thing dozens of times. People said they were buying things, but they were just chatting on WeChat.
"Sorry, please wait a moment, I'll get it for you."
The general meaning is: Don't get close to the screen.
Every time he said this, those people knew they were being rejected. Tan Jingfan was a man of his word, and if they tried to force their way through, they would definitely be rejected. Besides, this set of blue and white porcelain bowls had been in the store for many years and was expensive. It was not worth spending money and not being able to get the bowls, so most of them waved their hands and left tactfully.
Xin Jingli nodded, walked to the wooden sofa next to him, sat down, and waited obediently for her to bring it.
Zhuang Lingqing was stunned.
She...isn't really here to buy this?
It doesn’t matter. Since the customer has asked her to do so, she has to do it.
Zhuang Lingqing put on gloves and carefully brought the blue and white porcelain bowl over.
Xin Jingli put on gloves and looked at it for the sake of proof.
She didn't know much about this, but the driver just said that all the people doing business here are selling genuine goods, and no one dares to sell counterfeits because the Tan family's son, who loves these things, is here to protect them and no one can afford to offend him.
This shop is called Tan’s Shop. I guess it is related to the Tan family, so I feel more at ease.
"I want this set." Xin Jingli said.
Zhuang Lingqing said "Ah?" and cleared her throat. She turned and called towards the screen, "Mr. Tan."
"Okay." the man replied.
Xin Jingli looked over curiously.
The man's voice was deep and pleasant, but... I seemed to have heard it somewhere before?
