Lin Xu smiled.
There is only one Chen family among the top families in the school district, and that is Chen Shaojie's family.
As for families like the Bai and Xiao, although their power is far greater than that of the Chen family, their roots are not in the school district. Therefore, it is not wrong to say that the Chen family is the number one noble family in the school district.
However, given his connection with Chen Shaojie, even if he poured the peach juice down the drain, he wouldn't sell it to that guy.
Moreover, according to the shop assistant, the Chen family would only give 2.5% of the profit.
Good heavens, this ratio is half as low as he expected. It just goes to show that they are indeed nobles; even their blood is black.
Lin Xu looked at the shop assistant with a half-smile.
He was secretly pondering whether to contact the shop owner directly and expose the employee's underhanded tactics, or to feign agreement with the employee and then move on to the next business partner.
Although exposing the clerk pleased him, the outcome of this matter depends on the store owner.
If the shop owner knew the employee's identity beforehand but didn't have the courage to deal with a nobleman's pawn, then there would be no point in exposing him.
It would be better to pretend to agree to the shop assistant's request and then go to the next shop.
Anyway, he had listed eight suitable targets, and he didn't think that all the shops would fail to complete the transaction smoothly.
However, just as Lin Xu was about to speak, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
That was the sound of high heels, crisp and clear on the ground, but the pace was fast, suggesting that the person walking was a capable woman who walked quickly.
When the shop assistant saw what the newcomer looked like, his expression changed immediately, and he tried to take Lin Xu's thermos cup into his pocket.
Lin Xu raised an eyebrow as he read this.
He wasn't about to let the shop assistant keep his things, so he reached out and, to the shop assistant's shocked and resentful expression, easily grabbed the shop assistant's arm and took the thermos back from the shop assistant's hand.
What are you doing?
A cool yet melodious voice came from behind me.
The shop assistant's face instantly darkened. He glanced at Lin Xu with displeasure and stammered without saying a word.
Lin Xu turned around and looked at the person who had come, his eyes lighting up.
Before me stood a stunningly beautiful mature woman with short, neck-length hair.
Her hair was combed smoothly and straight, and she had a small face with very delicate features.
The woman was wearing a white open-necked shirt on her upper body and a bodycon mini skirt on her lower body, with black stockings on her legs.
Even without speaking, the woman exudes a clear air of competence and aloofness.
But her appearance was quite exquisite and aloof, especially her mouth, which was very small.
Looking at her face alone, one feels as if seeing a fairy from the heavens, or a snow sprite on an icy plain.
At first glance, this woman has a mature and sophisticated air, but there is also a hint of youth and innocence in her eyes and brows, as well as a touch of girlish charm.
She is indeed a truly stunning beauty.
Although she is not quite as beautiful as Tao Yao, she is definitely comparable to Bai Qingniao.
Because the white bluebird was still somewhat green, the cold beauty's temperament seemed more sophisticated, subtly overshadowing the white bluebird.
Seeing the beautiful woman improved Lin Xu's mood considerably. He temporarily suppressed his original intention to leave, because he was very curious about the woman's attitude towards the shop assistants.
The woman saw Lin Xu, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
She didn't immediately notice the Bai family badge on Lin Xu's chest; instead, she looked at Lin Xu's face as if she were seeing an acquaintance.
Lin Xu was taken aback, wondering if this beautiful woman knew him.
Sure enough, upon seeing Lin Xu, the beautiful woman immediately opened her mouth and said politely:
"It turns out you are Mr. Lin Xu, the top student in the school district. It is an honor for you to visit my shop."
Lin Xu's eyes flickered.
Although he is indeed academically excellent, he is probably not qualified to catch the eye of some businesses.
The fact that this woman recognized him was more likely because his talent score had been exposed.
The woman must have extensive information channels and a good memory to have been able to learn about his talent so quickly; she could recognize his face at a glance.
At this moment, Lin Xu overlooked his handsome face.
In reality, any woman with normal aesthetic sense would find it hard not to remember him after meeting him.
The beautiful woman knew Lin Xu because she had seen his photos.
Seeing that the woman recognized him, Lin Xu became even more interested in how she would deal with the treacherous employee, so he nodded to her.
Only then did the beautiful woman notice Lin Xu's clothes and then see the Bai family emblem.
A glint flashed in the woman's beautiful eyes as she scrutinized Lin Xu, her expression slightly surprised, before she seemed to ponder something.
However, the woman didn't ask anything; instead, she said:
"It's a great honor for Mr. Lin to visit my shop for the first time. Today, no matter what you buy, the first item will be 10% off. I just don't know what Mr. Lin and my staff were doing just now. Were you fighting over the merchandise?"
Lin Xu chuckled, but before he could speak, the shop assistant interrupted:
"Boss, we didn't do anything wrong. It's just a personal matter. You don't need to worry about it too much. As long as I meet the daily sales target, you don't need to ask about many things, right?"
As the shop assistant spoke, he repeatedly winked at Lin Xu, seemingly wanting Lin Xu to cooperate and cover things up.
Hearing what the shop assistant said, Lin Xu found the matter even more interesting.
Because the shop assistant's attitude was hardly respectful; in fact, when facing the beautiful female owner, their tone even carried a hint of pointing fingers.
Judging from how skilled the clerk was, he's probably done this kind of thing many times before.
The fact that a shop assistant can boss around the boss like that is truly surreal, befitting a world ruled by the aristocracy.
Lin Xu looked at the beautiful woman with great interest, ready to see her reaction.
Judging from the staff's attitude, the beautiful boss had mostly tacitly accepted the staff's actions in the past and had not taken any countermeasures.
However, the beautiful woman, upon hearing the shop assistant's words, did not remain silent. She looked at the shop assistant coldly:
"My business strategy is none of your business."
As she said this, the beautiful woman turned to look at Lin Xu again:
"Mr. Lin, is that what happened just now? You were just handling personal matters with this shop assistant?"
After the beautiful woman spoke, Lin Xu didn't react much, but the shop assistant looked astonished and incredulous.
He stared at the beautiful woman, pointing at her as if he wanted to curse her.
In his view, this beautiful woman had always been a pretty face, only good-looking on the surface, and had always let shop assistants like him ride roughshod over her.
Why is this woman so brave today, daring to contradict him?
Has this woman forgotten that she was recommended to join the shop by Young Master Chen? She can't afford to offend his background!
Lin Xu saw the hurt and humiliated look on the shop assistant's face and felt a surge of joy.
Although he had no personal grudge against the shop assistant, he would be very happy whenever he saw the Chen family members suffer.
At this point, he was naturally happy to watch the show and wouldn't help the shop assistant cover it up. Instead, he took out the peach juice essence:
“This isn’t a personal matter between me and this person; I just want to promote my product and hope your store will buy it.”
Upon hearing this, the shop assistant's expression changed drastically, and he almost reached out to forcibly take away the peach juice, stopping Lin Xu's actions.
However, the beautiful woman had already taken the peach juice.
She opened the thermos lid, and her expression changed slightly.
Unlike the shop assistant, this beautiful woman didn't need to drink the liquid; she simply blurted out:
"This is a life-saving potion!"
Lin Xu raised an eyebrow.
This beautiful woman is quite capable.
Without superpowers or a powerful island, it would be impossible to make such a judgment so easily.
This woman doesn't seem as weak as she appears.
Would someone like this really be bullied by a shop assistant?
Lin Xu nodded:
"The boss knows his stuff. Are you planning to buy this?"
The beautiful woman carefully put the bottle cap back on and handed the bottle of raw liquor back to Lin Xu.
The woman looked at Lin Xu with a slightly amused expression and a hint of curiosity.
"Where did Mr. Lin get these life essences from?"
