In the past six years, Jiang Yilu often traveled between Gangcheng and the inland, but he seldom saw Ruan Ruan. On the one hand, he was deliberately avoiding her, and on the other hand, Ruan Ruan didn't seem to want to see him very much. Every time he came to Gangcheng, it was almost always Ruan Congzhao who came to pick him up, and Ruan Ruan was either out playing with friends or going to school.
He thought that after all these years, the other party had come to understand that he was not the one she really liked, but he did not expect that the girl would appear in front of him again today and say such words frankly.
Jiang Yilu was shocked.
"You are still young--" Apart from this sentence, he really didn't know what to say. His words were dry and lacked the momentum of his usual eloquent speeches in business occasions.
"I knew you would answer like that." Ruan Ruan curled her lips, but she didn't turn around and walk away like she did six years ago. Six years have not only made her more beautiful, but also made her mind no longer as naive and fragile as before.
"I'm here to discuss the financial situation of the film and television company this year. I hope Mr. Jiang will take good care of me during my stay in the capital." Lie Lang was afraid of clingy women, and she didn't believe that she couldn't conquer his big bunker even though she was so active.
During these six years, Ruan Ruan worked hard to learn more knowledge and actively participated in the film and television company that she and Jiang Yilu had invested in. She didn't want to hide behind her loving family all the time. She also wanted to let them see that she was no longer the little girl who knew nothing. She was qualified and knew very clearly what she wanted and could make her own decisions.
The most important thing is that Brother Xiaobao can no longer use the fact that she is still young to reject her. Even if he doesn't believe it now, sooner or later she will make him look at her in a new light.
Ruan Ruan came here this time with the determination to win.
Jiang Yilu had nothing to say. Although he knew that the little girl must not have given up, but since she was already here, he couldn't bear to send her back. He could only sigh and let her follow.
"You just came here empty-handed, without any gifts?"
Ever since he got his driver's license as an adult, Jiang Yilu has been driving himself except for some formal events. Before he could open the door for Ruan Ruan, Ruan Ruan sat in the passenger seat consciously, fastened her seat belt obediently, and blinked at Jiang Yilu, causing him to retract his hand that was reaching for the back seat. Jiang Yilu couldn't help feeling a headache and laughter at the increasingly mischievous girl.
Jiang Yilu sat in the driver's seat and noticed that Ruan Ruan was only carrying a small bag, which could probably hold some documents and a wallet. It seemed that she didn't bring any spare clothes. Apart from that, there was only a briefcase, which probably contained some important documents.
"I missed you. I heard that the company would send an accountant to contact you about the financial statements, so I volunteered to come here." Ruan Ruan didn't feel shy at all. The man in front of her was almost hiding in his shell. If she didn't take the initiative, she would be giving her beloved man to someone else.
Jiang Yilu didn't know what to do with Ruan Ruan after listening to her frank words. He dodged her fiery gaze, turned the car around, and changed the destination to Jianghai Department Store, the largest department store in the capital.
"The room at home is still reserved for you. You just need to buy some toiletries, a few more sets of clothes, and some jewelry and bags. You can also go to the mall to have a look. If there is anything else you want, we can talk about it when we get to the mall." Jiang Yilu looked at Ruan Ruan who had pierced her ears. Girls of this age love to be beautiful, and different clothes need to be matched with different jewelry. Judging from Ruan Ruan's appearance, she probably didn't have time to put on her pierced ears. This time, she would probably stay for quite a long time, so she had to get them done.
Jiang Yilu said that he wanted to keep his distance from Ruan Ruan, but when something really happened, he couldn't help but worry about her and nag like a housekeeper.
Ruan Ruan looked at Jiang Yilu who was driving with a smile. She responded to whatever he said and felt very touched by his care.
Jianghai Department Store is only half an hour's drive from the airport. Located on the city's most prosperous trade street, the 25-storey commercial building covers a vast area and covers all aspects of people's food, clothing, housing and transportation, from daily necessities to famous brand luxury goods. As long as you can think of it, Jianghai Department Store has it all.
As the largest and most outstanding department store of its kind, Jianghai Department Store is packed with customers almost every day and is never short of customers.
As soon as Jiang Yiliu entered the shopping mall, he took Ruan Ruan to the branch of Fengliu, a clothing brand under Jiang's family, in Jianghai Department Store. As the center of trade in the capital, this branch is also the largest of all the stores. Almost all the ready-made clothes of the Fengliu series in every season can be found in this store.
In order to match the value of the clothes, the design of the clothing store is extremely luxurious and elegant, with shiny beige tiles and wooden and metal interior decorations. The whole layout looks clean and spacious.
When Jiang Yilu brought Ruan Ruan in, there were two customers in the clothing store who were choosing clothes. The four shopping guides in the store were surrounding those customers. When the two of them walked in, they only received a few glances from the shopping guides.
Jiang Yilu frowned and looked at the salesperson who withdrew his gaze and continued to serve the two customers like the moon surrounded by stars, without paying any attention to him and Ruan Ruan. He took a note of the manager of this branch and felt that he had not done the most basic training job well.
However, there were still guests present, so Jiang Yilu did not mention it directly. He pulled Ruan Ruan towards the rows of clothes hangers.
In fact, Jiang Yilu will appear in the store except when a new store opens. He will never appear in the branch store at other times. The financial situation and personnel management of the branch are all handled by his subordinates. Jiang Yilu ensures the overall stability. Now he has more and more businesses on hand, and he really does not have extra time to take care of a small branch.
Ruan Ruan's height is just right for a girl, 165cm tall, just above Jiang Yiliu's chin. She has a small frame and a little flesh, but she doesn't look fat at all. Instead, she looks soft and tender, which makes people want to take a bite.
Ruan Ruan had no shortage of clothes. In addition to the foreign brands bought for her by her aunt and sister-in-law, Jiang Yiliu would send new products suitable for her age to Ruan Ruan in the name of Jiang Sini every quarter. The clothes sold in this store had actually appeared in Ruan Ruan's closet long before they were put on the shelves.
"Yilu, what do you think of this dress?" Ruan Ruan felt that the first change should start with the way he addressed her. If he called her "Little Bao Brother" every day, the other party would then just treat him as a younger sister.
Jiang Yilu didn't notice the change in the other party's address for a moment, and his eyes were looking at the clothes that Ruan Ruan liked.
This dress, from today's perspective, is actually somewhat sexy. It has a one-shoulder design, with the chest and shoulders level, and translucent lace above, which vaguely wraps around the sexy collarbone and slender neck. The fabric of the skirt is relatively simple, with plain satin tightened at the waist, the hem slightly stretched, and the length is less than the knee. The pure white color gives this skirt the sweetness and innocence of a little girl, and the use of lace adds a touch of feminine charm to this skirt.
Overall, this is a piece of clothing that is both pure and charming, but in Jiang Yilu's heart, Ruan Ruan is still a little girl, so when he sent the clothes over, he did not include this one.
At this time, he saw Ruan Ruan liked the dress and did not object.
"Miss Salesperson, please bring me a smaller size of this dress." Jiang Yilu said to the salesperson beside him.
The girl surrounded by four shopping guides subconsciously looked in the direction of Jiang Yiliu. When she saw the beautiful skirt, her arrogant eyes lit up slightly: "That skirt is good, let me try one."
She pointed her finger at where Ruan Ruan was standing and spoke to the shopping guide in a commanding tone.
There were only two pieces of the dress they liked in the store. The one hanging outside was a medium size, and the one inside was a small size. They both wanted to try it on, so it would be bad to give it to either of them. The shopping guides also had their own plans. They worked in a clothing store under Jiang's, which was different from the salespeople in state-owned enterprises. In addition to a fixed salary, they could also get a small commission for each piece of clothing. Jiang's clothes were expensive and sold well, which could bring them a lot of income every month.
Those who looked down on them in the past are now proud to work at Jiang's. Although it is not as good as a stable job, the benefits are real and outsiders are trying their best to get in.
The spoiled woman was a frequent customer of the store, and all the shopping guides were willing to curry favor with her. Jiang Yiliu and Ruan Ruan were new faces, especially the way they were dressed today. Jiang Yiliu wore an ordinary white cotton T-shirt and loose pants without any brand mark, which looked no different from the clothes that cost two yuan at the night market. Ruan Ruan was wearing a slightly better dress, a light yellow dress from Yazhi, with a simple style. Although it was more expensive than ordinary clothes, in the eyes of the Fengliu series salesperson, it was still not as much as the cheapest piece of clothing here.
People in this line of work like to "judge people by appearance". Naturally, Jiang Yilu and Ruan Ruan's rather shabby clothes were not noticed by those picky shopping guides. In this era when people with a little money want to show off, people like Jiang Yilu who only dress for comfort in daily life are in the minority.
"That dress costs 880 yuan. The lace on it is all hand-woven. If it gets snagged, you have to pay for it."
A woman in her thirties, slightly older than the shopping guide, spoke to Jiang Yilu and Ruan Ruan, hoping to use price to make the other party give up.
"I know." Jiang Yilu said without blinking, he knew roughly the price range of his own products. Besides, the money would still be in his hands in the end, so he wouldn't feel bad if he added another zero.
The shopping guide was choked, and couldn't figure out whether the young man in front of him was just being young and hot-headed and wanted to fight for it, or whether he really had the ability to make the purchase. But looking at the way he was dressed, he really didn't look like a rich man.
"Stop talking nonsense. Pack these clothes and that one for me. I'm too lazy to try them on." The spoiled woman got excited when she saw someone fighting with her for clothes. She didn't even bother to try them on and decided to buy them directly.
"Okay, Miss Xu, we will pack the clothes for you right away. Please go to the front counter to check out." For the clothes worth 800 yuan plus the first few pieces, she can also get a commission of a few yuan, which is equivalent to several days' salary of an ordinary worker. Several shopping guides immediately became excited and started running around busying themselves, almost praising the woman as an ancestor.
Jiang Yilu and Ruan Ruan, who were the first to ask to try on the dress, became mere decorations and were left aside by the shopping guides.
This is the quality of the shopping guides in her clothing store. Jiang Yilu had a blank expression on his face and even wanted to laugh. Ruan Ruan understood that this was a sign that Brother Xiaobao was angry. Looking at those shopping guides who had smiling faces and were unaware of the impending disaster, she didn't know whether to sympathize with them or say that they brought it upon themselves.
