Chapter 10 Shopping



Li Shijianing's appearance can definitely reach a score of seven, and her fashionable outfit and elegant demeanor add another point to her.

What is fashion? Everyone has their own interpretation, but Li Shijianing explained to Si Mingyu that it's all about how to spend money wisely. Some things are indeed better the more expensive they are, after all, it's easiest to just pamper someone. But some things aren't necessarily better the more expensive they are. It's about finding the right fit for you. Otherwise, you'll end up with a painful example of both the seller and the buyer showing off.

After an hour and a half of talking about the season's fashion trends, it was almost four o'clock.

"It's almost time. Sister will take you out to buy clothes and have a meal." Li Shijianing glanced at the Bulgari ALLEGRA cocktail watch on her wrist.

"Sister, don't scare me. I can't afford anything you like." Si Mingyu was already familiar with Li Shijianing, so he spoke less restrainedly.

He'd learned from their earlier casual conversation that Mr. Fu specialized in high-end etiquette training. He offered his services as long as the money was in place, never questioning the client's identity. Even if you were an ordinary person who could afford the training, he would still teach you wholeheartedly. So, Si Mingyu didn't need to pretend to be rich.

"Okay, stop pretending to be poor in front of me." Li Shijianing took out a credit card from the LV bag on the table and handed it to Si Mingyu. "Your family sent it this morning. The card is in your name, but your family is worried that you will spend money recklessly. You have to listen to me about what to buy. I will keep it for you after you use it."

Si Mingyu picked up the card and saw it was a CMB American Express Centurion Platinum Card. He understood. Another company benefit. He had no idea why the company was treating him so well. He would have to ask Sister Xueyi later.

Li Shijianing drives a red Ferrari 296GTB, which costs less than 3.5 million including personalized customization.

"Do you have a driver's license?" Li Shijianing asked:

"Ah? Yes." Si Mingyu was stunned and answered subconsciously.

"Here are the keys, you drive." Li Shijianing took out the keys and handed them over.

"Sister, stop teasing me. I'm afraid we'll both get killed if I've never driven one before." Si Mingyu didn't take the key. A sports car is different from an ordinary car. It's better not to touch it if you haven't driven one before.

"Not bad, you're a patient person. If you really want to drive away, I won't let you." Li Shijianing got into the car with a smile.

After Si Mingyu got into the car, Li Shijianing carefully fastened his seat belt.

They went to the Hang Lung Plaza in the JA area. Along the way, Li Shijianing explained to Si Mingyu in detail the various functions, control methods, and driving precautions of the car.

Theory is just theory after all. Those who have never driven a car are not experienced drivers, and those who have never driven a sports car cannot be called driving gods.

After getting off the car, Li Shi Jianing naturally put her arm around Si Mingyu's arm. Feeling the sudden softness, Si Mingyu's body stiffened.

"Relax, you'll have to get used to attending banquets in the future." Li Shijianing breathed out sweetly as she whispered in Si Mingyu's ear.

Si Mingyu was pulled into the mall like a puppet.

"It's true that the clothes of top figures are all custom-made, but their faces and identities are their passes. For those who are unknown, brand-name clothes and accessories can save a lot of trouble. At least those guys who look down on others won't mess with you." Li Shijianing said as the two walked.

"Let's go to this one first." The two walked to the door of Zegna.

"Welcome!" A salesgirl in a professional suit, black stockings and high heels greeted us warmly.

The female salespeople in high-end shopping malls all have their own skills in identifying customers. Although Si Mingyu is wearing third-tier brands, Li Shijianing's looks and expensive clothes make it clear that she is not an ordinary person. A man who can get a beauty of this level to hold his arm can only be a hidden talent.

After a round of walking around, Li Shijianing picked out a casual suit, several shirts, two polo shirts, a pair of casual trousers and a pair of CITY five-pocket jeans, a pair of leather sneakers and a pair of casual leather shoes for Si Mingyu.

The salesgirl found the right size and brought it to the fitting room.

"Go try on clothes. You need to dress maturely for formal occasions." Li Shi Jianing pushed Si Mingyu into the fitting room.

"This suit is okay, but it needs to be altered." As he spoke, Li Shijianing called the salesgirl over and asked her to make a note of it.

"These two sets are fine, let's just take them. Don't take off this one, just wear it." After all, buying clothes is not as troublesome for men as it is for women.

Si Mingyu felt relieved after receiving Li Shijianing's approval. Most men don't like to go shopping, and even if they buy clothes for themselves, they are unwilling to try them on.

When Si Mingyu took out the platinum card to pay, the salesgirl's eyes lit up and she silently praised her own vision. She carefully cut the tag off Si Mingyu's clothes and watched them leave with a smile on her face.

As for clothes that need alterations, you can pick them up next week.

Not long after walking, Si Mingyu was dragged into the Prada store by Li Shi Jianing.

As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. Si Mingyu has a good appearance, and after changing into a set of branded clothes, he immediately attracted the attention of the female salesperson.

This time it was simpler. I just tried whatever I was asked to try, and finally I chose two sets of clothes to match.

"We're still missing a bag. Bring those two over for us to try." Li Shijianing said, pointing to a nylon and leather backpack and a messenger bag.

The female salesperson took it off immediately and helped Si Mingyu try it on and adjust the strap.

"That's all." Li Shijianing winked at Si Mingyu to pay the bill.

After leaving the store and seeing Li Shijianing wanting to continue shopping, Si Mingyu immediately pleaded, "Sister, we've already spent over a hundred thousand. Can we stop here today?"

"You are quite good at saving money for the family. We are still short of two belts. Let's go eat after buying them." Li Shijianing was amused after hearing what Si Mingyu said. This kid is really frugal.

"As you say, let's go."

The last stop is Hermès. Although their belts are everywhere, they are indeed highly recognizable. I’ll buy two first.

Although it was a top luxury store, the salesgirl saw Si Mingyu and the other man carrying several Zegna and Prada shopping bags, and knew that they had purchasing power, so she immediately came up to them with a smile on her face.

I chose a belt with an H-striped buckle and a CapeCod32 double-sided belt. The shoes looked nice, so I picked out two more pairs for Si Mingyu.

While the salesgirl was getting the goods, Si Mingyu whispered, "Sis, since you've taken so much trouble to help me choose clothes, why don't you pick something too?"

"What? You want to hook up with me?" Li Shijianing's words made Si Mingyu blush, and he quickly defended himself, "That's not what I meant. I just felt..."

"I'm just kidding. Look how scared you are. We in this industry also have professional ethics. We can't take the customers' things." Li Shijianing smiled happily.

She didn't know the client's specific information, and according to the rules, she couldn't ask for it. But no matter what the other party's status was, the extremely rich couldn't marry her, and the ordinary rich couldn't support her, so why bother accepting gifts and playing with ambiguity? If it went too far, it would be worth it.
