The Champs-Élysées was bustling with people, and the festive atmosphere was strong as the year drew to a close.
Various Christmas and New Year decorations adorn this world-famous shopping street with vibrant colors.
Brand-name stores stand side by side, their windows dazzling with a wide array of products, from jewelry and accessories to branded clothing and shoes.
Window display is a specialized field that requires careful arrangement by designers to better highlight the visual appeal and value of the merchandise.
Lin Xiao's upcoming courses included related content, so she paid extra attention as she walked.
Wang Wei grew up in Paris and was much more familiar with the place, so he didn't have the same strong sense of novelty as Lin Xiao.
However, he still followed her patiently, looking around as they went, stopping occasionally to admire her.
Before long, they arrived near the brand's flagship store where the centennial celebration was being held.
Many fans were already waiting at the store entrance, even more than at the airport that morning.
Just like before, many young girls held up signs and light boards with Wei Changfeng's image on them, looking excited.
Lin Xiao glanced at the crowd and was surprised to see that in addition to young fans, there were also many middle-aged women, and even some gray-haired aunties among them.
Wang Wei also noticed this: "Wow, this guy is popular with all ages! Is he very famous in China?"
Lin Xiao smiled faintly: "It's alright. I don't watch many idol dramas, so I don't know much about them."
"Hey, don't girls all love watching idol dramas? Why don't you like them?"
"It's fake. It's always the 'domineering CEO falls in love with me' plot, and he'll even break with his family to marry no one but the female lead." Lin Xiao was very dismissive.
Her experience taught her that there aren't that many naive, love-obsessed people in wealthy families.
What does "I will marry no one but you" mean? Everything is the result of weighing the pros and cons, and every move is a carefully calculated scheme.
Her father, Lin Haitao, has built a company that has gone public, making it the leader in Linjiang City and one of the top companies in the province.
However, on a national scale, the Lin Group is probably not much of a force to be reckoned with.
Even so, Lin Haitao's daily calculations revolve around profits: how to make more money and how to expand his business empire.
Many of these middle-aged businessmen have extensive romantic histories, with many having mistresses, but it's all just for fun.
In their eyes, career and women are not even on the same level; the former is far more important!
As for their next generation, among the rich second-generation people Lin Xiao knows, not all of them, but at least half of them are living a life of leisure.
Especially for boys from wealthy families who are also outstanding in their own right, surrounded by admirers, how could they possibly be devoted to one girl?
The handsome, rich, and devoted domineering CEOs in TV dramas are just for fooling young girls!
Even someone as naive as Feng Jinglin, who, due to strict family upbringing, didn't have much of the air of a spoiled brat, still betrayed his childhood sweetheart.
Lin Xiao didn't want to dwell on the past anymore, so she forced a smile and said to Wang Wei, "Didn't you say a lot of celebrities would be coming? Who else? It can't be just this one, right?"
Wang Wei was momentarily dazed when he saw Lin Xiao's radiant smile.
"And there's a celestial beauty, I heard she's incredibly beautiful in person!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he regretted it. How could he praise another woman's beauty in front of a girl? Especially in front of the girl he liked.
He tried to change the subject, and continued, "There are also European and American spokespeople for this brand, and it seems that the only Asian spokespeople are Wei Changfeng and Tianxian Baby."
But there will be lots of celebrities at Paris Fashion Week next month, it'll be even more exciting then, I'll take you to see it.
"Thank you," Lin Xiao replied politely.
As the two were talking, a black, extended luxury car slowly drove up, and the crowd began to stir.
"Ahhh!" The fans couldn't contain their excitement and screamed softly.
The brand dispatched more than ten security personnel dressed in black suits, and French police officers were patrolling nearby in case of any incidents.
The car stopped, and a middle-aged man who looked like the person in charge opened the car door from the outside. Wei Changfeng stepped out first with his long legs.
He then got out of the car, and the flashbulbs went off everywhere.
The fans began to cheer loudly, chanting his name.
Even Lin Xiao had to admit: Wei Changfeng, dressed in a pure black suit, was really handsome and had an outstanding demeanor, instantly captivating everyone's attention.
Bodyguards rushed over and surrounded him within about a meter of his body. He walked slowly while waving to the fans and media present.
"Damn, this kid is really handsome! No wonder he has so many fans waiting for him." Wang Wei couldn't help but exclaim.
After greeting the media and fans, Wei Changfeng turned around and started walking up the steps into the store.
Suddenly, a commotion arose not far from the street. Lin Xiao turned around and saw a domestic tour group carrying a small flag.
The middle-aged women in the tour group are sprinting towards this direction at top speed.
I don't know if they saw Wei Changfeng from afar, or if they just noticed the large number of people here and thought there was something interesting to see.
In the blink of an eye, many people rushed over and began to squeeze into the fan group.
Lin Xiao, who was originally standing on the periphery of the crowd, has now suddenly become the primary target of the attack.
In the chaos, she grabbed Wang Wei's arm, afraid they would be separated. She was very uncomfortable with and afraid of this chaotic scene.
Wei Changfeng, who had already reached the steps and was about to enter the store, stopped and turned around to see what was causing the commotion.
With that glance back, he quickly spotted Lin Xiao, who was squeezed right in the center of the chaotic crowd.
She was wearing a light-colored thick hoodie, looking like a flustered little bear, and was tightly holding onto a boy next to her.
