After a moment of silence, he said, "Of course you can ask me for advice, it's free."
Chen Rou was taken aback, thinking to herself that this person was probably trying to make fun of her, a kind of dry humor.
She looked at him in disbelief. After a while, Nie Zhao seemed a little embarrassed and raised his hand to touch his chin.
But he forgot that his collarbone was still hurting. When he raised his hand, his brow twitched in pain, and he struggled to pull his hand back.
Okay, this one looks rather funny.
In her previous life, Chen Rou didn't shop at clothing stores much; work clothes were enough for her to wear all year round.
But this time it's different. She used to be a special police officer, and special police teams also have drug-sniffing dogs. Police officers and soldiers can have national borders, but drug-sniffing dogs don't. They are the police's best comrades-in-arms and also humankind's best friends.
Although she was going with Nie Zhao to offer condolences, and knew that Inspector Yu's invitation was definitely not for good reasons, Chen Rou still turned her head and said, "Mr. Nie, could you help me think of something later? It has to be something the dog likes."
Nie Zhao suddenly leaned back, crossed his legs, and stopped talking.
He didn't speak, and Chen Rou naturally didn't speak either. Seeing him healthy, she couldn't help but think of him in her past life, with his white hair, and his courage to cooperate with the mainland military in the present. She admired him so much that she didn't dare to be casual.
Of course, it was Nie Zhao who broke the ice first. He suddenly turned his head and said, "Just call me A-Zhao."
So his sudden silence just now was simply because she called him Mr. Nie?
Is this man really that sensitive?
The car stopped, and they arrived at the clothing store. Song Yuanchao immediately got out of the car and quickly opened the door.
Ram was driving, and Hank and Sam were following behind in a bodyguard car; they caught up at that moment.
Including the driver, there were four bodyguards. One stood in front of Nie Zhao, while the other three stood with their hands behind their backs on three sides, their eyes quickly locking onto passing vehicles, crowds, and sniper positions, with one hand always on their guns.
Song Yuanchao opened the door, and Nie Zhao got out of the car first. Then he turned around, squeezed past Song Yuanchao, and reached out his hand. Chen Rou had no choice but to help him out of the car. As soon as they got out of the car, all the women in suits at the clothing store bowed and said, "Welcome!"
It was a large clothing store, but there were no customers inside; a sign at the entrance said it was a VIP day.
Chen Rou understood this; Nie Zhao had specifically arranged for the clothing store to be cleared out so that she would be the only customer today.
Although Chen Rou didn't wear luxury brands in her previous life, she was familiar with all kinds of century-old luxury brands as well as local small brands. For the sake of the mission, whether it was a soldier or a policeman, her knowledge needed to be broadened.
Before entering, she glanced at the storefront and, sure enough, this brand would be a high-end brand that only made custom orders in the future.
Two men, clearly the manager and top salesperson, followed her and bowed in unison the moment Chen Rou turned around, saying, "Hello, Third Aunt."
Chen Rou smiled and nodded, and had to say it again: the rich really have a grand presence.
Chen Rou didn't know what Nie Zhao's taste was like, so she let him choose.
Chen Rou had only ever seen him choose clothes on TV. After walking past a row of similar-looking suits, he said, "All the trouser suits are packed up according to my wife's size and sent to Repulse Bay. This suit, this suit, and this suit are reserved for her to try on and wear here."
This man was indeed shrewd. He knew she was prone to fighting and kicking people, and that she didn't wear skirts, opting only for pants. He picked out several outfits for her to try on, all in black, a safe color for dogs, which was a good choice.
If Chen Rou hadn't watched some TV dramas in her past life and knew that rich people are generally extravagant and wasteful, she would have called Nie Zhao her sugar daddy.
He bought all the formal suits and trousers in the store, and also bought all the casual suits and trousers. He even picked out a set for her to try on. But that wasn't the end of it. She had to try on the size first. Nie Zhao chatted with the manager in English for a few minutes, and soon a line of saleswomen filed in, carrying shoe boxes and jewelry boxes, of course, from other brands.
This was truly the first time Chen Rou had ever seen luxury brands offering door-to-door delivery services for their products.
Although the store manager repeatedly volunteered to accompany Chen Rou to try on clothes, she refused.
She doesn't like people watching her take off her clothes.
Nie Zhao chose a black, classic suit set, a wide-leg suit jacket and straight-leg trousers that were popular these days, paired with a white fitted T-shirt. It was a rather unisex style, and Chen Rou quite liked it.
After changing her clothes, she came out into a corridor. Just as she was about to leave, she caught a glimpse of Nie Zhao standing by the window at the end of the corridor, holding a mobile phone and making a call.
Businessmen, especially the owners of large companies, often have their phones glued to their screens when they're out and about.
Chen Rou thought it was a business call from Nie Zhao and didn't want to listen, so she was about to leave. But then Nie Zhao pulled her back and said to the person on the other end of the phone, "If he's on a hunger strike, show him that movie, 'Men Behind the Sun 731.' Keep watching it, keep watching it on repeat. If he falls asleep, wake him up and keep watching it until he eats."
Chen Rou is very familiar with the movie "Men Behind the Sun 731," which was also her childhood nightmare. It was a co-production between Hong Kong and mainland China, a film that reflects true history. After watching it as a child, Chen Rou was so frightened that she couldn't sleep for a long time.
After thinking about it, she realized that Nie Zhao was referring to Nie Yao.
It seems that Nie Yao, who has been imprisoned for a long time, has finally reached his breaking point and has started a hunger strike in protest, intending to commit suicide.
Show him "Men Under the Sun 731," let him watch it repeatedly, on a loop?
It must be said that Nie Zhao truly deserves his reputation as Hong Kong's richest man, having fought his way up in such a chaotic world; his methods are ruthless and vicious!
