The security guard was trembling with anger. He glared at Lin Lina for a long time before waving his hand impatiently: "Hurry up and do what you need to do. I'm about to close the door and you're only just arriving."
"Why didn't you do this earlier? You can't recognize your place and you insist on humiliating yourself. Humph."
Seeing that the security guard had given in, Lin Lina immediately tossed her hair and strode in with an air of arrogance. Her overbearing demeanor made the security guard feel short of breath again.
"Never mind, she doesn't know how long she'll be out anyway. I'll go check if any doors are unlocked." The security guard muttered to himself as he took the keys and went upstairs.
They don't have keys to the office doors, and of course they won't hand over the keys to important places to the security guards. However, there are storage rooms on each floor, and these places are under their jurisdiction. Checking the opening and closing of the storage room doors is also one of their responsibilities.
Lin Lina didn't notice that a security guard was slowly walking upstairs behind her. She quickly ran to the office, took out her key, opened the door, and went inside.
The security guard passed by the door and saw Lin Lina walk to one spot, take something, and then quickly move to another spot. He immediately frowned. Why was she taking it to someone else's spot?
Although he was a security guard, he knew that everyone only had one workstation, right? Was this theft? The security guard muttered to himself, dismissing his own guess. It was obvious who would leave important things in their office? Why would they steal a bunch of junk if there was nothing important? Something must have happened.
After thinking it through, the security guard walked past the door and slowly entered the storage room on the floor. Lin Lina put her things away.
After finishing, he turned and left, completely unaware that his every move had been observed by an inconspicuous security guard.
Xu Xinchen hailed a taxi and arrived at the department store that Chen Ningsheng often took her to. She looked up at the building, which wasn't actually very tall and wasn't as luxurious as it would later become, and sighed softly.
Actually, her salary is only fifty yuan, about the same as when she was a teacher. Back then, she bought a dress and that was it. Now that she's here, she doesn't know what she can buy with that fifty yuan.
Although she had doubts about what she could buy with her salary, Xu Xinchen still resolutely stepped into the department store.
This is a department store "building" with only three floors. The first floor is for men's and women's clothing, the second floor is for various shoes and accessories, and the third floor is a supermarket. Xu Xinchen went straight to the second floor.
Chen Ningsheng's clothes are all custom-made. She didn't want to lower Chen Ningsheng's style by wearing a bunch of inferior clothes. The suit she wore last time was an accident. She only found out after they got back that Chen Ningsheng's clothes were all custom-made and he basically didn't wear anything bought from outside.
There weren't many jewelry shops on the second floor, and people of this era weren't particularly eager for such luxury items, especially men. After browsing around, Xu Xinchen finally chose a pair of glasses with non-prescription lenses from a shop that specialized in selling eyeglasses.
"Excuse me, could you please get these glasses for me?" Xu Xinchen, having identified her target, immediately looked up and greeted the salesperson standing behind the counter.
The salesperson looked at the suit Xu Xinchen was wearing. The quality was good, the color was warm and lustrous, and it was clear it wasn't a cheap item. The salesperson immediately determined that Xu Xinchen was someone with purchasing power, and thus began to approach her.
His face was always full of smiles.
"Is this the pair? Wait a moment, I'll get it for you right away." The salesperson said as she pushed open the glass cabinet door and took out the pair of glasses that Xu Xinchen had chosen.
Xu Xinchen held the glasses in mid-air, carefully observing them under the overhead light. The glasses were simple in design, with a small frame and two round lenses.
Xu Xinchen tried it on and looked into the distance. She didn't feel any soreness or pain in her eyes, nor did she feel very tired. Chen Ningsheng's company has computers, and it was perfect for him to wear this while working, as it could relieve some of the pressure on his eyes.
Most importantly... Xu Xinchen thought that Chen Ningsheng always had a cold and aloof demeanor. These glasses had an exquisite frame and would make him look very refined, which could reduce some of Chen Ningsheng's sharpness.
As she was thinking, Xu Xinchen couldn't help but laugh out loud. When the salesperson next to her saw Xu Xinchen's expression, her eyes narrowed with laughter, and she opened her mouth to actively promote her product to Xu Xinchen.
"Comrade, you have excellent taste. These are new arrivals in our store. Don't let their simple design fool you; they make you look incredibly gentle and refined. Plus, they're made with the finest materials. If you like them, how about I wrap them up for you?"
Xu Xinchen was taken aback when she heard the salesperson's words. Was she really that gentle? Wouldn't that be too ladylike and not suitable for Chen Ningsheng? Thinking of this, Xu Xinchen said to the salesperson, "Do you have a mirror here? Can I have a mirror to look at myself?"
When the salesperson saw that Xu Xinchen's smile had vanished after he complimented her, he froze, thinking his deal was about to fall through. Hearing Xu Xinchen's request, he quickly nodded, bent down, pulled out a small mirror, and handed it to her.
In front of Xu Xinchen.
Xu Xinchen looked at herself in the mirror, feeling increasingly uncertain. Her gaze darted left and right, as if she wanted to find a guy to help her try it out. When the salesperson saw Xu Xinchen's appearance, he quickly asked, "Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"
Xu Xinchen bit her lip: "I want to find a guy to help me try on these glasses. I want to buy them as a gift for my fiancé. If they're too ladylike, I'll pick another pair."
Upon hearing Xu Xinchen's words, the salesperson immediately breathed a sigh of relief. So it was a gift for her partner. No wonder she was so hesitant. As long as she wasn't being played with, that was fine: "Oh, I see. Please wait a moment, sir. I'll get someone to help you try it on right away."
The salesperson said as he squeezed out, "Sir, please wait a moment, just a moment."
Xu Xinchen stood there dumbfounded, holding the glasses. What was going on? Was this salesperson really that careless? Leaving a complete stranger like herself in the store? Wasn't she afraid that she would just grab a few pairs of glasses and run away?
Within three minutes, the salesperson pulled a man in a suit and glasses to Xu Xinchen's side: "Comrade, I've found someone for you. This is my husband. He's a bit rough-looking, but at least he looks like a man. Why don't you let him try it on for you?"
