After hanging up the phone, Chu Yang took Zhou Yang's hand and strolled around the mall.

Zhou Yang didn't have anything in particular she wanted to buy, nor did she go into those high-end shops. She only picked out a few small items that were reasonably priced.

Chu Yang was somewhat surprised. Was this aloof and elegant woman really this frugal?

Seeing his confusion, Zhou Yang chuckled and said, "We've already invested so much money in our bar, and we haven't even opened for business yet, so we can't afford to waste money."

"Besides, I don't like buying those designer clothes and bags. I think it's too expensive. For the same price, I can buy many other items from other brands, and the styles are all very nice."

"For example, the stockings I just bought. If they were Balenciaga, I wouldn't let you tear them."

Every word he said made perfect sense, especially the last sentence, which was the finishing touch.

But how could Chu Yang let her suffer after following him? He immediately waved his hand and said, "You can buy cheaper stockings, but nothing else."

"Come on, I'll buy you some nice clothes and shoes, and I'll get you a bag too. When the bar opens, your boss's wife will be the most beautiful girl there."

Zhou Yang chuckled, her eyes crinkling into a smile: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

Just as the two were about to enter a store, a voice suddenly rang out behind them.

"No wonder, no wonder, so she has a boyfriend!"

Zhou Yang turned around and saw a man in a gray suit.

She frowned: "You've mistaken me for someone else."

“How could I be mistaken? I’ve seen your photos.” The man in the gray suit looked her up and down, then chuckled, “You’re even prettier in person than in the photos.”

Zhou Yang's face turned cold: "Idiot!"

"Let's go." After saying that, she took Chu Yang's hand and was about to leave.

But then the man said, "Zhou Yang, you didn't come on this blind date because of this pretty boy? I didn't expect you to like this kind of young, tender girl!"

Zhou Yang paused, before she could say anything.

Chu Yang turned around and walked up to the man. He was half a head taller than the man and looked down at him with a commanding presence. His eyes were sharp as lightning as he coldly said, "Who the hell are you calling a pretty boy!"

In fact, Chu Yang is not fair-skinned, but has a healthy, slightly wheat-colored complexion, and his handsome appearance carries a touch of masculinity.

Moreover, with a height of 1.8 meters and a strong physique, it's no exaggeration to say he has a masculine presence.

Today, I was actually called a pretty boy and a young, tender girl?

"You're the chicken, your whole family are chickens!"

The man in the gray suit was taken aback by his imposing manner, took a step back, and said angrily, "He's such an ill-mannered guy. I really don't understand how you could like this kind of young boy."

"Zhang Hao, that's enough!" Zhou Yang finally remembered that the guy in front of her was a blind date arranged by her father, and he had even shown her a photo.

He claims to have a doctoral degree and that he studied in the UK.

But she was already against it, so after her father canceled the meeting, she ignored it.

I never expected to meet you here.

"It's an honor that you recognized me. How about we have dinner together tonight?" Zhang Hao ignored Chu Yang and extended an invitation.

Zhou Yang refused without hesitation: "Not interested."

"Let's go, Chu Yang, ignore him."

After saying that, she pulled Chu Yang into a clothing store.

To everyone's surprise, Zhang Hao followed, hands in his pockets, a mocking expression on his face.

"The clothes in this store aren't cheap. I heard you lost money running a bar. How could you afford such expensive things?"

"I know the general manager here. He gave me a shopping card that gives you a 30% discount. Do you want to borrow it?"

"Why don't you just come with me? Life will be much easier. You won't have to support this little... boy. What are you going to do with him?"

"Why do you talk so much?" Chu Yang grabbed him by the collar and pushed him toward the door.

"Can't you see we're ignoring you? You're still babbling on and on, and you're talking about discount cards? You think I won't break your bones?"

After saying that, she pushed him to the ground at the entrance of the store.

Zhang Hao was furious and got up to fight.

At that moment, a cold shout rang out: "What are you doing? Stop!"

Zhang Hao paused, then turned his head to look.

"Manager Zhao? It's me, Zhang Hao. My dad had dinner with you a few days ago, and I was there too!"

Manager Zhao nodded, but his expression was not good. He questioned, "What are you doing?"

Zhang Hao pointed at Chu Yang and said, "This kid has no manners at all! He even hit me with a knife just now! Uncle Zhao, quickly call security to throw him out!"

"Shut up!" Manager Zhao snapped.

Then he turned to Chu Yang and said with a fawning smile, "You must be Chu Yang, President Chu?"

Zhang Hao's expression changed. What, President Chu?

"I am Chu Yang." Chu Yang nodded, already guessing that this was the general manager of the shopping mall that Shen Nansheng had mentioned on the phone.

They delivered the cards.

"Hello, Mr. Chu. I didn't expect you to be so young. My apologies!" Manager Zhao extended his hand warmly.

Then he took out a gold card and handed it to you with both hands: "This is what President Shen instructed me to send to you. This is Delong's highest-level shopping card. As long as you show this card, you can enjoy a 30% discount on any purchase!"

Chu Yang took it: "Thanks."

"Please don't be shy. Oh, by the way, Mr. Chu, this is my business card. Feel free to contact me if you encounter any problems here!" Manager Zhao handed over his business card.

Chu Yang accepted the business card and then said casually to Zhang Hao beside him, "Thirty percent off."

Zhang Hao was stunned and speechless.

He had just been bragging about having a 30% off card, and now he had received a top-tier gold card. He felt his face burning with embarrassment; he had lost face immensely.

Then Chu Yang pointed at him and said, "Manager Zhao, this guy is so annoying. He keeps harassing me. I don't want to see him in the mall again."

Manager Zhao immediately replied, "Understood, understood, I will handle it!"

Then he stood there and watched Chu Yang and Zhou Yang leave.

Zhang Hao was dumbfounded and asked blankly, "Uncle Zhao, who exactly is this kid?"

"Don't call me Uncle Zhao!" Manager Zhao glared at him and said coldly, "You blind fool! Your father even said you were a PhD who returned from studying abroad, but all those years of schooling have been wasted! Now, immediately, get out of here!"

Zhang Hao, his face filled with resentment, asked, "Uncle Zhao, what exactly happened to him...?"

Manager Zhao interrupted him: "Your whole family can't afford to offend this person. Get out of here, or I'll have to call security!"

Helpless, Zhang Hao could only leave in anger.

He turned his head and glanced at Chu Yang's figure in the distance.

Pretty boy? Young and inexperienced girl?

So, what exactly is this person's identity...?

…
