Chapter 174: A Man's Dignity
"Really? Then I'll lend you my blessing!"
After Zhang Shuai finished speaking to Lin Zhou, he turned his attention back to Tian Xin: "Go ahead, Boss! I'll do whatever you tell me to do!"
When it comes to joking and interacting with people, Zhang Shuai is absolutely brilliant. She doesn't need anyone to teach her how to do it.
Ever since Tian Xin took him to the ancient city, he seemed to have opened up a new world. Although he didn't know many people, everyone who was familiar with him had good things to say about him.
Tian Xin also admires his outgoing personality. In Liu Xin's words: "Big brother is a loyal person!"
But this loyal person is not at all careless when it comes to important things. He even cares a lot about what others think and is afraid that he will not do well.
Tian Xin spent more than an hour carefully explaining to him every important clause in the contract.
In view of the unpleasantness caused by the quotation issue last time, before discussing the contract this time, Li Baiwan had taken the initiative to negotiate the specific quotation and monthly supply quantity with Liu Xin.
Although Zhang Shuai was in charge of the contract, it was really just a formality. As long as it looked harmless, there wouldn't be any problems. This was exactly what Li Baiwan cared about, so she came here to complete the process so that everyone could be relieved.
But Zhang Shuai was extremely serious. After listening to Tian Xin and Lin Zhou's instructions, he leaned back on the bed and reviewed the important points they mentioned with his eyes closed.
Seeing that nothing was wrong, Tian Xin remembered that he had just asked her for help, so she asked: "I have to go back to the factory to deal with tomorrow's work. If you need me to do anything, tell me quickly and I'll go right away!"
Zhang Shuai was just remembering it, but when she asked, he was stunned: "Help?"
"Ah!" Tian Xin said, "Didn't you just say that?"
She helped him recall it again.
Zhang Shuai remembered: "I do need a small favor!" But he didn't say it directly. He turned his eyes to Lin Zhou: "Well, Lin Zhou, why don't you go drive first? I want to talk to the boss!"
What's so mysterious that you have to avoid Lin Zhou?
Tian Xin was confused and gave Zhang Shuai a look. Zhang Shuai didn't say anything and waited for Lin Zhou to leave.
Lin Zhou didn't ask any questions and just told Tian Xin: "I'll wait for you downstairs!" Then he turned around and went out.
Zhang Shuai watched him leave before turning around and speaking hesitantly: "Boss, help me!"
Tian Xin thought his actions were like kindergarten kids whispering to each other. She found it hilarious and casually teased him, "I see you're really concerned about your appearance now! What's the point of hiding what you're talking about?"
"I can't speak in front of him. This is a matter of a man's dignity!" Zhang Shuai said righteously.
"What's going on? It's so serious? Can dignity be involved?"
"It's very important! So, boss, you have to help me with this!"
“…”
Tian Xin rarely saw Zhang Shuai take something so seriously, and he rarely made any requests to her. This should be the first time.
So Tian Xin was very concerned: "Okay, what's the matter? Just tell me! As long as I can do it, you can rest assured!"
"Buy me a suit!" Zhang Shuai looked at her seriously and added, "It has to be... something formal!"
"Suit?"
"Um!"
Tian Xin fell silent. She stared at Zhang Shuai for a long time before bursting into laughter: "That's it?"
"ah!"
"I thought you were going to talk about something important, but you're being so mysterious and even having to go through Lin Zhou's back! Just buying a suit, why don't you just say it directly?"
“…” Zhang Shuai stopped talking again!
"Oh, okay, okay! This is about a man's dignity, I understand!"
Tian Xin realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly made amends: "It's my fault. You really should dress more formally for this kind of occasion. I'll go buy it now. Don't worry, I will definitely get it done for you. Trust my judgment!"
"Oh!" Zhang Shuai responded weakly.
"A man's dignity!" Tian Xin muttered softly as she settled him down, with a strange smile on her face.
Zhang Shuai was speechless. He had never expected that his casual remark would become a joke for Tian Xin to laugh at him. He sighed and leaned on the edge of the bed, watching Tian Xin walk out laughing, and shook his head helplessly.
When Tian Xin went downstairs, she found that Lin Zhou did not go to the car, but was waiting for her downstairs in the inpatient department.
He stood tall and proud amid the crowd, his eyes calm, his soft features a touch of coolness. Perhaps the sun was warming him, so he rolled up his shirt sleeves to his elbows, folded them, and stood at the doorway, his arms folded, revealing his bony wrists.
Seeing Tian Xin coming over, he quickly stepped forward and asked, "What took you so long? What important thing does he want you to do?"
"It's a small matter!" Tian Xin remembered what Zhang Shuai had just said, "It's about a man's dignity," and couldn't help laughing out loud: "I have to go to the mall. If you have something to do, just go ahead and don't worry about me!"
This sentence originally meant nothing, but when it reached Lin Zhou's ears, it sounded like it was driving him away.
He was stunned for a second, frowned and said: "I have nothing to do today, so I took the time to come and accompany you!" After that, without waiting for Tian Xin to react, he grabbed her hand and walked straight to the door.
“…”
Huayuan County is a small place with few shopping malls. Lin Zhou thought she wanted to buy some clothes, so he drove to a women's clothing store and said, "The clothes here aren't very good. Take a look around first! If you're not in a hurry, I'll take you to the new city area later!"
"No, no, I'm not buying anything!" Tian Xin replied, "Just take a look around!"
The cost of living in places like the new city was ridiculous. It wasn't that she couldn't afford it, but she simply didn't think it was necessary.
In her previous life, she had her moments of glory, and had worn designer clothes. For her, clothes, besides keeping warm, just needed to be clean and elegant; there was no need to be overly flashy.
So, in this life, she bought most of her clothes at the wholesale market in the county town. With her previous life's vision, she had developed her own unique style, even if it was simple, it was not tacky.
But Zhang Shuai said it should be more formal, so it can't be too casual.
She looked up at the entrance of the shopping mall with the words "Huayuan Women's Clothing" written on it, hesitated for a few seconds, and got off the car.
Next to the mall was a commercial street. She remembered there were several men's clothing stores there, so she turned and walked over.
Lin Zhou followed her and saw her enter a men's clothing store. He was a little curious, but he didn't ask any questions and followed her in.
This store looks good. It’s not big, but the decoration is simple and elegant. Although the clothing styles look a bit outdated, it was 2006, so naturally they can’t compare to those more than ten years later, so it’s okay.
When the salesperson saw a customer coming in, she immediately came forward with a smile and introduced the new products to her: "The store is full of this year's new styles. Feel free to look around and try on anything you like!"
She didn't realize that she was talking to Lin Zhou behind her, and she casually replied, "Oh, no need to try, I'm just taking a look!"
She looked around, and the salesperson, seeing that she didn't like being disturbed, stopped talking and stood aside waiting for her to make her choice and introduce it to her.
Lin Zhou didn't know what she was doing in the men's clothing store. Seeing her looking at suits, the expression on her face was a little intriguing. But he didn't disturb Tian Xin. He sat aside and looked at her without blinking, with a faint smile on his face.
Tian Xin turned around and her eyes were attracted by a suit worn by a fake male model in the window.
This is a dark brown double-breasted suit, paired with a white shirt and a dark patterned tie in the same color, which looks of good texture.
She immediately fell in love with the clothes and asked the salesperson: "Can I see that one?"
The salesperson looked back at Lin Zhou and replied, "This set is wide-legged, so we might not have your size!"
"No size? No way!" Tian Xin took another look at the suit: "I think this one is quite suitable!"
