After a while, the food came up.
"After dinner, let's go buy clothes." Chen Xu said.
Luo Xiyun asked curiously, "What clothes do you want to buy?"
"You have good taste in clothes I'm wearing. Can you give me some advice?" Chen Xu said as he picked up a piece of meat and gave it to her.
She has been controlling her diet, eating mostly vegetarian food, and is worried about gaining weight. Chen Xu is worried that she is not getting enough nutrition, but she doesn't look like she is prone to gaining weight, so even if she eats a few more pieces of meat, she won't gain much weight.
"Why did you buy those clothes?" Luo Xiyun was a little wary. Chen Xu had never paid much attention to clothes. He had bought some famous brands before, but they were all bad. Now he suddenly paid attention to his clothes, which seemed a little strange.
"In the future, my career will grow bigger and bigger, and I will attend more and more business events. I need to improve my image. I can't embarrass you."
Luo Xiyun said, "I think you want to hook up with the girl."
Chen Xu smiled and said, "I'm already past that age."
Luo Xiyun expressed doubt, "This statement is not credible at all."
That being said, after dinner, Luo Xiyun still accompanied Chen Xu to buy clothes. They were both busy before, so dates were always for dinner, and occasionally to the movies, but shopping for clothes was rare.
Luo Xiyun didn't know much about men's clothing, but it was not a problem for him to match Chen Xu's clothes. The main reason was that men's clothes were not that complicated and could be bought in sets.
They went to a big brand store, and Luo Xiyun picked out a few sets for Chen Xu to try on while she sat outside and waited.
"You have to be careful." Luo Xiyun suddenly said through the door of the fitting room.
Chen Xu asked, "Be careful about what?"
"His name is Zhou Hao. His family is close to my father, and they wanted to bring us together. Due to personal reasons, I met him a few times. It was a long time ago..."
The door of the fitting room suddenly opened, and Chen Xu came out wearing a new suit. He said, "No wonder I thought he looked familiar. He was the one who drove to the company to pick you up. The rumored boyfriend."
Luo Xiyun continued, "I didn't have any feelings for him and rejected him face to face. But he kept pestering me. I used that attitude in order to make him give up completely."
This is really her way. When Chen Xu thought of the first dream, as soon as they met, she bluntly said that it was impossible for them to be together. It turned out that he was not the first victim.
Luo Xiyun said with some concern, "He is a narrow-minded person and may retaliate against you. You'd better be careful."
"He should be the one who needs to be careful." Chen Xu stood in front of the mirror, looked at it for a while, then turned around and asked, "What do you think of this set?"
Luo Xiyun became even more worried after hearing what he said. Chen Xu was not an ordinary person and he really didn't need to be afraid of Zhou Hao. "Don't do anything rash. His father is a shareholder of Tianluo Group. He is rich and powerful. If anything happens to him, his father will not let it go."
"Don't worry, I know my limits." Chen Xu pulled his sleeves in front of the mirror and said, "I think it's pretty good. What do you think?"
Luo Xiyun glanced at the clothes on him and nodded, "It's okay."
“I bought it.”
…………
The two of them spent the entire afternoon shopping and bought a lot of clothes. In addition to Chen Xu's, they also bought a lot for Luo Xiyun.
"Let's go look at houses tomorrow." Chen Xu put bags of various sizes in the car and suddenly said, "The current house is too small. There's not even a cloakroom."
In comparison, Yang Jinxia didn't care so much about these things and often wore the same clothes repeatedly, especially the ones he liked.
Back to reality, they definitely pay more attention to their image. A dressing room is absolutely necessary, and it must be big.
Luo Xiyun asked, "Do you have that much money now?"
"Let's rent a room first." With Chen Xu's wealth, he really couldn't afford the kind of house he wanted to buy. He couldn't ask Yang Jinxia to pay for it. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't ask for it.
As for Luo Xiyun, she doesn't have that much money. Even though she earns a lot, she also spends a lot.
Moreover, according to Chen Xu's idea, he probably won't have that much spare money to buy a house in a few years. The money he earns will definitely be invested in his career first.
Luo Xiyun said, "I have to go to work tomorrow. I have taken so many days off, so I must have a lot of work piled up."
"It's okay, you can go and see it after you get off work." Chen Xu said, "Now, let's go eat first, and then you can accompany me to meet someone later."
"Who?"
"I need to interview an employee."
…………
In a private room, Chen Xu met the person he was going to interview, a man in his early thirties, wearing glasses and with a fair complexion. He sat opposite him and seemed a little reserved.
Chen Xu said, "Cai Weiye, I have read all your information. Your doctoral thesis is well written."
Cai Weiye seemed a little embarrassed, "Mr. Chen, you are too kind." He knew his level. He was only good at writing papers. In terms of academic level, he was mediocre among his supervisor's students.
"Excuse me, which company does Mr. Chen work for?"
Chen Xu was surprised, "Didn't your mentor tell you?"
Cai Weiye whispered, "No, he just told me that there was a job opportunity and asked me to come for an interview."
"It's like this, I acquired a laboratory and need to hire a person in charge."
Cai Weiye thought he had misheard. The head of a laboratory? He was a fresh graduate with a doctorate and hadn't made any significant achievements. How could he be the head of a laboratory? He must be kidding.
He swallowed and said, "Well, I'm just a newly graduated doctoral student. I don't have any experience in completing a project independently. I'm afraid I can't take on such an important task."
Chen Xu's eyes showed a little more appreciation, and he said, "The reason why we are looking for a newly graduated doctoral student like you is to cultivate our own talents. I already have the topic and experimental plan. Your task is to be responsible for the operation and write the paper. Of course, you must also be mentally prepared, the conditions will be more demanding. However, in terms of salary, I think you will be satisfied."
Cai Weiye was a little moved when he heard him say that, and asked, "I wonder what the topic of the experiment is?"
Chen Xu said, "It's what you did with your advisor before, lithium battery materials. As for the specific content, I can only tell you after you are admitted."
When Cai Weiye heard this, he felt a little conflicted. After a while, he said, "Well, can I consider it?"
"No problem, you have two days to think about it."
