A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Wei Si said, "Li, you have many women around you?"

Li Wei said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Wei Si said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little surprised. I originally thought you were a fashion designer, but now it seems you're not."

While fashion design gurus may be very wealthy, it's utterly absurd that these so-called big names could obtain a woman's exact body measurements simply by looking at her.

Moreover, Li Wei didn't have that strange vibe that those so-called fashion designers had. She disliked those so-called fashion designers because she couldn't understand some of their designs.

Li Wei laughed and said, "I'm not a professional fashion designer, but clothing design is one of my hobbies. There are no tools here, otherwise I could make you a suitable outfit myself."

Wei Si said with some surprise, "You know how to sew? Men like that are quite rare, except for professional tailors, of course, who make a living from it."

Li Wei laughed and said, "I know a lot of things. If I were to explain everything in detail, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to leave the house today. I don't know anyone in this area, so don't open the door to any strangers. There's a pistol, a magazine, and bullets in the coffee table drawer. Carry it with you for self-defense. In case those guys chasing you catch up with you when I leave, at least you won't be unarmed."

Wei Si walked to the coffee table, squatted down, opened the drawer, and saw the pistol and magazine inside. She picked up the gun, and the cold touch gave her a bloodthirsty excitement.

While gun control in Europe isn't particularly strict, it's not rampant either. The fact that Li Wei could get his hands on a gun suggests that he's not just rich, but also has a good network of connections. Saying he doesn't have many friends here is just a modest way of putting it.

Wei Si put the pistol back in the drawer and said in a well-behaved manner, "I'll be careful."

Li Wei smiled and said, "The clothing store I'm going to isn't far from here. It'll only take an hour to walk there and back. You can do anything except leave this building. Of course, I might be back a little late. If anything happens, I'll just call the number here. You can contact me by phone if you need anything."

Wei Si nodded. After leaving the house, Li Wei walked unhurriedly toward the clothing store where Shermie worked. Shermie was a saleswoman at the clothing store.

Meanwhile, the local gang members, who had been mentally manipulated by Li Wei, had already begun heading towards the clothing store and would be there about ten minutes after Li Wei arrived.

Chapter 4. Sharmé and the Little Shop

Shermie is a clothing store saleswoman. Her life moves at a very slow pace. She spends her days in the store, greeting customers when they come and doing things she enjoys when there are no customers, such as designing clothes that she thinks are beautiful and turning those designs from drawings into reality.

Shermie's situation is fairly consistent with the original SNK materials that Levi obtained, although there are some differences, they are not significant.

Li Wei's plan was simple: he would have the local gang that controlled the street where Shermie worked collect a high "management fee," and Li Wei could use this opportunity to get closer to Shermie.

Those underworld figures who had been subjected to his mind control techniques had become puppets who obeyed his every command. Although he could not directly control them, he only needed to give them an order, and they would carry it out. They were quite useful cannon fodder.

While these individuals, lightly manipulated by suggestive techniques, aren't very useful, they're fine for occasional emergencies. The truly effective ones are those controlled by puppet clone techniques, but puppet clone techniques are meant for high-value targets; Li Wei doesn't even bother with these small fry. He's too lazy to modify them unless absolutely necessary, as modification takes time and effort.

Li Wei stopped outside a small clothing store with a very retro decor. Through the glass of the shop window, Li Wei could see Shermie leaning over the counter, sketching clothing designs on paper.

Li Wei pushed open the slightly old glass and wooden door and entered the small shop full of nostalgic charm.

Hearing the door open, Sharmi put her sketches into the drawer of the counter, stood up, and said with a smile, "Welcome, guest. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Shermie stared at Li Wei, who was as handsome as a mythical sun god, and was momentarily stunned. But being in the service industry, she knew it wasn't appropriate to stare directly at customers, so she quickly looked away. Although her eyes were partially obscured by her thin bangs, some people are very sensitive to others' gazes, so she didn't dare look directly at Li Wei.

Li Wei said, "I'd like to see the lady's clothes."

Sharmie approached Levi and led him to a section, saying, "This is the women's clothing area. Sir, are you here to choose clothes for your wife?"

Li Wei said, "It's not a lady, it's just that I'm helping a friend choose clothes. She has some things to do and can't come over, so I'm doing it for her."

Shermie said softly, "If you need advice, sir, I can provide it. If you would like to see for yourself, sir, I'm right behind you. You can ask me any questions you may have."

Li Wei nodded. Shermie, dressed in her signature outfit, looked incredibly avant-garde and adorable in this day and age. Shermie's dream was to become a famous fashion designer. In fact, her design skills were already quite good. Unfortunately, she was not formally trained and had no connections, so it was not an easy thing for her to enter the fashion design circle and make a name for herself.

People in Europe place a high value on connections. Simply having talent isn't enough; without connections, many things are difficult to accomplish. However, this is true everywhere, but the situation is more pronounced in Europe.

Li Wei's senses swept across the entire shop, and he had already selected clothes suitable for Wei Si. However, he did not intend to leave yet, so he pretended to look around slowly and make his selection.

Charmy was used to guests like Levi. After all, there were always picky customers in Europe, especially in Falese, a country known as the fashion capital. People there were particularly particular about their taste in clothing, so they would spend more time choosing clothes than people from other countries.

The vanity of the Falese is well-known throughout Europe.

Li Wei said, "Madam, you really have great taste. The clothes in this store are clearly made with great care."

Hearing Levi's praise, Sharmi showed a proud expression and said, "Our store is no worse than those big stores when it comes to ready-made clothes, because all the ready-made clothes in our store are made by me with great care. My craftsmanship has been recognized by everyone in the whole block."

Shermie had an amazing passion for clothing, and when Levi praised her, she felt a surge of pride.

Shermie has always worked at this shop. Because of her excellent tailoring skills and good design ability, the boss paid her a very high salary. She also runs the shop as her own business with great care.

"Are all these your works? They're really impressive, even better than those established designers," Li Wei praised without reservation.

Sharmi was very pleased with Li Wei's praise. People always hope to present themselves better in front of attractive members of the opposite sex. This is not only true for men, but also for women.

Li Wei said, "Since you can also customize clothes here, in addition to buying ready-made clothes, I'd also like to have a few outfits custom-made."

Sharmi felt a surge of joy. The economic crisis wasn't just affecting large cities; small towns like her couldn't escape the gloom either. With less money in their wallets, people naturally wouldn't consider buying new clothes. Her shop, a high-end clothing store specializing in bespoke tailoring, was also impacted. While business hadn't plummeted, revenue had decreased significantly. Just covering Sharmi's wages and rent was already a struggle.

In order to help the store survive the economic crisis, Sharmi even voluntarily took a pay cut, just to help the store where she had worked for several years get through this ordeal.

That's why she's especially happy when a big client like Li Wei appears.

After all, everyone is very tight on money right now. For things like clothes, you can make do with old clothes. Faced with the economic crisis sweeping across Europe, even the vain people of Falessi have to put aside their pride and save money as much as possible.

Moreover, Li Wei possessed a kind of "noble" aura. Just by walking in, Sharmi felt as if she were facing a nobleman, which she found somewhat unbelievable. How could an Asian face give her the feeling that she was meeting an emperor?

Li Wei selected a few outfits he liked and handed them to Sharmie. Sharmie was pleasantly surprised. For a wealthy man like Li Wei who didn't care about money, the shop could survive as long as he came once a month.

Li Wei said, "Let me report my physical data..."

Hearing Li Wei describe the female friend's figure, Sharmi was somewhat surprised. Although there was still a certain gap between her and Sharmi, it wasn't too far off. She was a beautiful woman with a very lovely figure.

Shermie was quite satisfied with her figure, but her only worry was that her bust was too big, which often caused her shoulder pain. The body measurements that Li Wei provided were the perfect figure she had always dreamed of.

Instantly, Shermie felt a pang of envy, unaware that she too was the envy of many women. She was also unaware that she was previously considered the bust size leader in the King of Fighters series. It wasn't until the character Angel was introduced that she had a worthy rival; even Mai Shiranui paled in comparison in terms of bust size alone.

Chapter 4. The Mafia Organization

Sharmi said, "Although I haven't met that lady, based on the body measurements you provided, I can imagine that she is a beauty with a model-like figure, and the kind of swimsuit model from Miami."

There are currently two main styles popular in the market: one is the so-called Paris Fashion Week style washboard body, and the other is the swimsuit week style healthy and beautiful body. Compared with the local aesthetic in Falce, Sharmi prefers a healthy body. After all, the aesthetic in Falce is very morbid, and the models completely torture themselves to achieve that skeletal body, which she dislikes very much.

Moreover, Sharmi herself has a healthy and beautiful figure, yet people in the fashion circle ridicule her as a "fat woman".

Because her beauty did not conform to the mainstream fashion aesthetics of Falaise, and the clothes she designed were all for women with fuller figures, this unconventional behavior in the mainstream fashion circle was also an important reason why she could not enter that circle.

Shermi persisted in her choice because the people in the neighborhood appreciated her. Not everyone can have the tall, slender figure of a model, and her designs better accentuated the beauty of ordinary people. Therefore, her design style was quite well-known locally.

Li Wei smiled and said, "But your beauty is in no way inferior to my friend's. Your beauty is like a lily, elegant and serene."

Sharmi felt a little shy at Levi's praise, but having worked as a clothing store saleswoman for so long, she managed to remain composed and did not show any signs of losing her composure.

Li Wei continued selecting clothes, sensing that the gangsters had already arrived outside the shop.

The Mafia is not unique to Hetalia. In highly developed Europe, people go bankrupt every moment, and where do these bankrupt people go?

Most people don't care about such issues. In their eyes, these bankrupt people are just losers eliminated by society. However, the vast majority of bankrupt people turn to crime. Some bankrupt people with connections and relationships even form various gangs on their own. In places like Falaise, gangs are rampant in various small cities, and even the authorities don't dare to do much about these underworld thugs.

Therefore, the small city was divided into different spheres of influence by different gangs. Each organization guarded its own territory and tried every means to squeeze every last drop of blood out of it.

Sharmi saw the man in the black suit outside the door through the glass window, and her expression changed instantly. She said to Li Wei, who was still choosing clothes, "Sir, please step aside for a moment. An uninvited guest has arrived!"

Shermi grew anxious. She had finally met a distinguished guest, but this unruly bastard had disturbed her. If a big customer like Li Wei left, then the shop's business for the month would be ruined. Thinking of this, Shermi had a headache.

However, those mafia members are not people you can reason with. They only care about money. If she hadn't been a capable fighter and used force to intimidate them, the store would probably be like other businesses, paying a hefty management fee every quarter.

Because of Sharmi's military intimidation, the management fees this clothing store had to pay each time were only the same as those charged by other businesses.

Shermie and the clothing store owner were afraid that the other side would smash up the store under the cover of night, while the mafia on the other side were also afraid of Shermie's strength and feared that a direct confrontation would result in manpower losses. Therefore, both sides maintained relative restraint and made concessions.

Sharmi was furious. She had just paid the management fee, and these guys were back again, acting like mad dogs.

Li Wei laughed and said, "No one has ever been able to make me back down; it's others who should be the ones to back down. If you're talking about those thugs outside, they're not qualified for me to do that."

Sharmi was somewhat anxious; Li Wei's insistence made her feel a little uneasy.

Sharmi said, "Sir, this is not the time for jokes. Those people outside are members of the local mafia. They are lawless bastards. What if they hurt you?"

Shermi didn't want to see Levi get hurt. She herself didn't know why she had such thoughts. It seemed that seeing Levi injured would make her feel heartache.

Li Wei took the clothes he had chosen from Shermi's hands and placed them on the counter, saying, "Please settle my bill first. After all, you're a business here, and I can't just take the clothes and leave."

··· ·Requesting flowers····

Helpless, Sharmi glanced at the Mafia members guarding outside, went to the counter, took out a small calculator, and began to calculate the price of the clothes Levi had chosen. As for the custom-made clothes that Levi had mentioned earlier, they would also be included in the price.

“It’s in Euros.” Sharmi pushed the calculated figure in front of Levi.

Li Wei took out his bank card. Both of his puppet clones were very wealthy, so he was not short of money at all.

Just then, members of the Mafia organization pushed open the door and walked in.

Wearing only a white shirt and not a black coat like the others, the young man in the top hat said, "Business is good, another big customer."

Sharmi's expression changed, and she said, "Carl, we've already paid the management fees, why are we here again? What do you want?"

The young man, known as Carel, said, "That's because you need to pay the management fees you owe. Your shop's management fees are only a fraction of what other businesses pay. This discount has been in place for three years. Just think about how much management fees you owe."

Sharmi's expression was quite unpleasant. She said, "This is robbery! Charging management fees is illegal!"

Carrar sneered and said, "Part of this has to be handed over to the big shots above us. We're under a lot of pressure too, and I hope you can understand. We've been providing discounts to this store for so long, and now, we can only make up for our cash shortfall by coming from this store. After all, it's you who owe the management fees."

Sharmi covered her forehead. The local authorities were incredibly incompetent and corrupt, practically a den of snakes and rats, as evidenced by their leniency towards the Mafia.

Even if she told the police about this blatant collection of management fees, it wouldn't make a difference, because the local police station pockets a portion of these fees, which is practically a form of taxation.

Sharmi said, "I don't have any money either. You know what the situation is like. Our money has all been used to buy all kinds of high-end fabrics and for the maintenance of the shop."

Chapter 4. Sharmi's Concerns

Kaller said, "I don't care about all that. All I know is that you already owe us a lot of money. I'm only giving you three days. If you can't raise 10,000 euros in three days, you know what the consequences will be."

Sharmi's voice unconsciously rose a little as she said, "Are you all crazy? This is 10,000 euros, not euros! Where am I supposed to find that much money in three days?!"

As for the owner of this small clothing store, that old lady also runs an orphanage. The vast majority of the money earned from this clothing store goes to the orphanage's operating funds. She couldn't possibly embezzle money from the orphanage; she wouldn't do something so despicable.
