Chapter 449 Huo Xingzhou is like a turtle in the wishing well

Old Chen followed behind Qiao Xi and Sun Weimeng and noticed some unusual movements.

He stepped forward and reminded her, "Madam, it seems someone is following us. If you are choosing your dress later, please try not to act alone. Unfortunately... Miss Jiaojiao is not around, and it is inconvenient for Young Master Sun and I to do so since we are both men."

Qiao Xi slowed down her pace after hearing his words, and opened her rosy lips: "I miss Jiaojiao a little too. Maybe she will come to the capital soon."

I always feel that she is not the kind of person who would stay in Haicheng obediently.

Sun Weimeng was a little jealous: "Isn't this young master good? If you want a sister, I can be your sister. When you choose your dress later, I can also give you advice."

Old Chen smiled innocently: "Young Master Sun, you can't follow me into the locker room. Otherwise, Young Master... will really make you a eunuch."

"Old Chen, you are... vicious!"

Sun Weimeng protected himself with both hands, "Don't even think about taking away my pride!"

Since he cured his impotence, he has become very popular in the Haicheng Club, and even those playboys dare not look down on him. After all, he has the connections of Doctor Qiao and can get good health products.

If Qiao Xi could make some little pills that could restore one's virility, they would sell like crazy!

Qiao Xi glanced at them and said nothing.

They walked up the escalator of the mall and strolled around the shops. However, the dozens of clothing stores on the ground floor only sold ordinary brands of daily clothes. They represented the face of the Huo family and could not go there casually to attend the Guan family birthday banquet.

Qiao Xi suddenly remembered the matter of medicinal herbs, so she asked Lao Chen, "When you went to get your car fixed last night, I asked you to inquire about Chinese medicine stores in the capital. How was it?"

Old Chen's expression was not very good: "Young Madam, they refused to sell! As soon as they saw my face, they said it was gone! The news that we have arrived in the capital has spread. More than 90% of the large pharmacies in the capital are controlled by the Lu family."

The Lu family is responsible for the business of traditional Chinese medicine, while the Xiang family is responsible for Western medical equipment and medicines.

The two families joined forces to monopolize the East and West, leaving almost no room for others to survive. That is why they were able to prosper and become a force that could not be ignored in the imperial capital in just 20 years. The Xiang family also took advantage of this to squeeze into the four major families in the imperial capital.

The needle testing conference is over, and the once-in-a-decade family ranking evaluation will be held in the first month of next year.

The Lu family is ambitious.

The Xiang family wants to replace the Guan family, which ranks third, and the Lu family wants to take the fourth place.

If they really succeed, they will be able to cover the sky with one hand in the imperial capital.

The aristocratic family has superior resources and a great reputation. This kind of power class is tacitly accepted by the upper class of the imperial capital, and there are distinctions between high and low.

For some big cakes, it is tacitly agreed that only the four great families can sit down and share them, which is considered to be a monopoly of the top resources. Others can only drink a sip of soup and will never take the initiative, unless there are brilliant and talented descendants who find another way and lead the family to break through the siege.

Everyone wants to squeeze into the top of the pyramid of the imperial capital!

Qiao Xi's smile faded after hearing what Old Chen said. But the Lu family's actions also showed that Lu Bannong and Grandpa Cheng had a deep grudge. They held a grudge and even refused to sell her the herbs.

She really doesn't look like the great philanthropist, female Hua Tuo, or living Guanyin as rumored.

Young Master Sun complained: "How petty! They have no vision at all. It seems like they are afraid that you will become powerful! This also shows that they are afraid of you and Mr. Cheng, as if they are facing a powerful enemy!"

"right."

Qiao Xi nodded, "They take me too seriously."

They stood on the escalator of the mall and went to the upper level. The last level required a special elevator to go up. That was the paradise of luxury goods on the top floor. All of them were high-end custom-made luxury brands, and not everyone was qualified to buy them.

The entrance to this level is weird and has a capital verification system.

In order to maintain the order of the mall and improve the quality of service, customers with personal assets exceeding 10 million can enter the top floor. This is a very common practice in some extremely high-end malls to prevent customers without purchasing power from entering and leaving at will and wasting sales time.

Qiao Xi and Sun Shao both provided relevant certificates and passed the capital verification before they could take the exclusive elevator to the top floor.

However, they did not expect that Lao Chen's bank deposits were over 10 million. After all, he was a bodyguard with a monthly salary of 100,000, and he also received additional subsidies.

"Mr. Chen, you are so rich!"

In the private elevator, Sun Weimeng drooled at Lao Chen, "I want to buy a sports car, but I don't have enough money. My parents don't approve of me buying a sports car, so they don't want to give me money. Can you lend me 5 million first?"

Old Chen shook his head while holding his bank card. "Mr. Sun, I am just a humble worker. As the son of a real estate tycoon, do you have the heart to exploit me?"

"I will definitely pay you back when I have money!"

"Young Master Sun, all my deposits are fixed deposits."

"I'll give you the interest." Sun Weimeng said with a gritted heart, "How about a 10-point interest rate? I'm just short of money at the moment, and this little money is not enough for me to spend."

Old Chen was determined not to spend a penny.

Qiao Xi narrowed her eyes and said, "Young Master Sun, please don't embarrass Old Chen."

Sun Weimeng pursed his lips, "Alright. We don't need a car in the capital." He was already thinking about inviting Huo Xingzhou to his birthday next year and making a wish in front of him, but he didn't know if it would come true!

Huo Xingzhou would definitely fulfill his wish because of his lackeyship.

He is like the turtle in the wishing well.

Oh no.

Qiao Xi said Huo Xingzhou was Aladdin's magic lamp! As long as you make a wish, it will come true.

The bastard is not powerful enough.

Sun Weimeng secretly glanced at Qiao Xi and thought that the couple was quite amusing.

"Three of you, please."

The door to the private elevator opens.

A bright, luxurious world opened up to them. The salesgirls here all wore uniforms with the same logo, which cost about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan each, and they all had formal smiles on their faces.

Sun Weimeng exclaimed "Wow".

It’s not because the luxury goods here are rare and expensive, but because there are many beautiful women.

The entire top floor of the shopping mall is a straight-line moving branch, and all stores are clearly visible. The atrium node is a display stand, which is very ornately decorated.

"This is where the world's 20 most famous brands offer high-end customization, covering jewelry, watches, accessories, clothing, and perfume. It's a must-visit place for the capital's upper class to prepare for banquets. But today there should be a 21st one..."

Sun Weimeng whispered to Qiao Xi that he was the best at eating, drinking and having fun.

He glanced at the largest store at the end, and saw that the door was closed. He wondered why the 21st store was not open yet.

What a mess!

So I said, "Today we are going to pick out dresses. Master Yilin has recently released a lot of new products. They are sold in limited quantities in China, so I think they should be available here."

Sun Wei looked around and said, "Here it is!"

He pulled Qiao Xi forward, and Qiao Xi's eyes fell on the store.

The high-end cream white European style decoration, the lights are like stars falling on the clean and bright ground, giving people a very comfortable feeling. Inside is the previous work of Master Yilin, Nai Cai.

Qiao Xi also owned one and she really liked the style of this designer.

The salesgirls lined up in a row, all dressed neatly and with graceful postures.

Seeing her and Sun Weimeng, he and his companions exchanged glances secretly.

After the final eye contact, the prettiest one of them walked in front of Qiao Xi.
