"Don't look, don't look! Drinking this will make you fat, drink this will make you fat..."
That milk tea shop is also Beichen's own brand. Chen Ya glanced at it and said:
"They have a fruit milk drink that's mainly made of milk, and it's skimmed, so it's high in protein. If you really want to satisfy your craving, you can order a cup."
"No way, no way." Lu Qianzi shook her head vigorously. "If we go there, I'll definitely want to order high-fat, high-sugar drinks again. Damn it, why did Grand Hyatt have to open a milk tea shop on the first floor? Wouldn't it be better to open a jewelry store instead?"
Lu Ruixiang walked ahead and said, "If you want to go to the jewelry store, you have to go up to the fifth floor. They sell the best diamonds in the entire capital."
"The point isn't about the mother, it's just that it feels strange. Aren't the first floors of most shopping malls jewelry stores?"
The group chatted casually as they walked into an Adidas store and picked up clothes from the racks.
A young waitress in a plaid skirt stood with her hands behind her back, not too close and not too far away, ready to come and serve at any time.
Chen Ya said, "In general shopping malls, the first floor has the highest rent, so it is usually rented to stores with large consumer spending, such as cosmetics stores, or stores with high profit margins, such as jewelry stores."
Lu Qianzi was looking at a cartoon-themed collaboration T-shirt when she asked:
"Then why doesn't Grand Hyatt do that?"
"The Grand Hyatt operates on a different logic; it prioritizes customer convenience. Jewelry stores, which are rarely visited, should be placed on the top floor."
Lu Qianzi said, "But I've heard that Grand Hyatt's jewelry stores are very famous."
"Yes, because of its high quality and unique selling points, it naturally attracts a specific group of people. Those who genuinely want to buy jewelry won't mind going up to the fifth floor. This has always been Beichen's business philosophy."
"Oh~~"
Lu Qianzi drawled, unfolding a T-shirt in her hand, and said, "How about this one?"
Chen Ya glanced at it: "A bit childish."
"It's better to be younger, otherwise people will see that you're almost thirty, how can you pick up young girls?"
Lu Ruixiang walked over carrying a pile of clothes and placed them in Chen Ya's arms:
"Try these on. This top goes with these pants, and these two are a different set. Let's go to the fitting room first... What's this?"
She was holding the cartoon-themed T-shirt that Lu Qianzi had picked out for him.
“I picked it out for him!” Lu Qianzi puffed out her chest.
“Okay, let’s give it a try.” Lu Ruixiang frowned. “That’s too childish.”
Why are you all saying the same thing?
……
...When Chen Ya came out after trying on the clothes, both mother and daughter were immediately impressed.
"Not bad," Lu Ruixiang nodded.
"Yeah, not bad. Pretty handsome."
Chen Ya wore a white T-shirt with an eagle logo on his upper body, black jeans on his lower body, and a green jacket on his outer layer. His height of 1.8 meters was made even taller by the fitted clothes.
The jacket had a large green four-leaf clover printed on the back, and the clothes underneath were a limited edition "Raptor" series launched by Adidas in collaboration with the NBA. Just one piece cost 2999. Chen Ya's entire outfit, without shoes, was already approaching 5000.
The waiter stared intently, and it took him a while to react before he whispered:
“This fitted style is really suitable for someone with your figure. Your legs are already long, so you don’t need to flip them up; you can just bring them down.”
After saying that, she squatted down and helped Chen Ya roll up his trouser legs, her bangs gently brushing against Chen Ya's legs.
"Let's buy this set." Lu Ruixiang was quite satisfied. "Checkout."
Lu Qianzi tugged at her mother's arm and whispered, "This is only the first one! Shouldn't we go to another one to compare?"
“If we find something we like better, we’ll buy it,” Lu Ruixiang said. “Anyway, we can’t wear our old clothes while shopping at the Grand Hyatt.”
Chen Ya's clothes were obviously cheap, low-quality items, and she couldn't bear the embarrassment.
She stared at Chen Ya's face, scrutinized him for a long time, and then suddenly said:
"I've figured it out. The problem is mainly with your glasses. We'll take you to an optician to replace the frames, or even get you a new pair."
Chen Ya shook his head: "That's not necessary. I'm wearing non-prescription glasses."
Why should I wear non-prescription glasses?
"For blue light protection."
Chen Ya had his hands in his pockets.
These glasses are the [Superman's Glasses] given to me by the system.
I always wore it, not to hide my true identity.
Rather, it's for its side effect—making one's appearance ordinary.
His current emotional entanglements are largely due to his face.
So he always wore glasses to avoid attracting too many romantic suitors.
Lu Qianzi stood on tiptoe and, with lightning speed, removed his glasses from his face.
"It's broad daylight and I'm not looking directly at the computer screen, so where is the blue light coming from?"
She froze as soon as she took off her glasses.
Lu Ruixiang was also stunned.
This is a bit... too handsome.
Chapter 189 You're really awesome!
Lu Qianzi looked at Chen Ya's face, gently biting her lip, her heart skipping a beat.
So handsome.
With sword-like eyebrows that reached his temples and jet-black eyes, his facial features exuded a masculine aura.
As she watched, Lu Qianzi's eyes actually started to well up with tears.
Chen Ya reached out to take the glasses from her hand: "Stop looking."
She instinctively turned around and handed the glasses to her mother:
"Don't wear glasses anymore. It's a waste for someone as handsome as you to wear glasses."
Lu Ruixiang casually wrapped his glasses in a handkerchief and tossed them into her handbag.
"Qianzi is right, it looks better not to wear it than with it. Don't wear it, you look so handsome like this."
Chen Ya was helpless.
They kept praising his good looks, and he felt embarrassed to refute it, since it was true.
Lu Ruixiang held up her phone and asked, "Hello, Chen Hai? What's wrong?"
He frowned immediately after hearing what the other person said.
"Wait here for a moment." She turned her back and walked to a secluded spot.
Several minutes later, she finally walked over in her high heels.
"Something's happened. I need to go to your brother's place right away."
Lu Qianzi asked, "What's wrong?"
"I don't know why, but Beichen has suddenly started investigating your brother again," Lu Ruixiang said with a frown and a hurried tone.
Lu Qianzi held her breath.
She knew that Beichen's investment in Chen Hai's factory was the most important thing for their entire family.
"Didn't the previous inspections all pass? Why are they still under inspection now?" Lu Qianzi asked.
Lu Ruixiang shook her head: "I don't know. Lu Hai couldn't get any information out of him for a long time. The people from over there only said that a high-ranking leader of theirs personally oversaw the project, and Beichen is now attaching the highest level of importance to this project."
Lu Qianzi was stunned. Her brother's OEM factory was actually "highest level of attention" from Beichen. She could brag about that for a lifetime.
Lu Ruixiang bit her lip and said, "In short, I think this is both a crisis and an opportunity. I have to be there. You take Chen Ya and continue to look around. You'll figure out how to get to school later."
She patted Lu Qianzi's face, then hurriedly left.
Lu Qianzi turned to look at Chen Ya and said helplessly, "Is there anything else you want to buy?"
Chen Ya looked up and said, "Let's go upstairs and take a look."
"what?"
"There's something I want to buy, and it just so happens that it's on the fourth floor here."
With that, Chen Ya stepped onto the escalator.
"Fourth floor? What do you want to buy on the fourth floor? Wait a minute..."
Lu Qianzi hurriedly followed.
A short while later, the two appeared in front of the Patek Philippe store.
Warm yellow light shone through the completely transparent glass walls, and the satin-like curtains were the color of red wine. Looking at the letters PATEKPHILIPPE written on the door, Lu Qianzi felt her legs go weak.
Yesterday, her mother gave her a budget of 2 yuan. A watch here costs tens of thousands of yuan. If Chen Ya wants to buy one, she can't afford it.
"Stop looking. If you want to buy a watch, let's go to the basement level and take a look," Lu Qianzi said softly.
Chen Ya looked up at the lintel.
Xia You recommended Patek Philippe to Chen Ya after much consideration.
If you want to assess the scions of prominent families, it's difficult to get in if you look too humble.
After thinking it over, I still think wearing a watch on my wrist is the most convenient.
No need to say a word; they'll just glance down and know you're a player like them.
Chen Ya stepped inside, but Lu Qianzi grabbed his arms with both hands and spread her legs, managing to stop him.
"Wait a minute!" Lu Qianzi was a little angry. "Do you even know what kind of store this is?"
"Isn't this a watch shop?"
Lu Qianzi was so angry she almost fainted.
"This is a watch shop, that's true, but this is Patek Philippe! There are only two stores in the whole of China, one in Shanghai and the other is here, you..."
"Oh, this is the place I'm looking for." Chen Ya lifted his leg and continued walking inside.
Lu Qianzi was so angry that she stomped her feet outside.
Go ahead, go ahead, anyway, you're the one who'll embarrass yourself, not me!
He'll understand once he sees the price!
Chen Ya walked into the shop, circled around the several display cases, and after a quick glance, he roughly had a idea of what was going on.
He then walked over and sat down on the sofa. A sales clerk in a suit and tie, with gray hair, came over and asked in standard Mandarin:
"Sir, is this your first time here?"
"Mm." Chen Ya nodded.
"Are you looking for a particular model, or just browsing? Would you like me to introduce Patek Philippe to you?"
Chen Ya said, "There are some I want to buy, but I haven't decided on a specific one yet. I want to compare more options."
Which series would you like to learn about?
"Supercomplication Timepieces Series".
The salesperson said, "You have excellent taste. Patek Philippe possesses the world's finest complicated watchmaking craftsmanship. Please wait a moment. Also, would you like juice or milk tea?"
"juice."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
After Chen Ya finished speaking, he leaned back on the sofa.
An old man sat opposite him, his legs crossed and shaking incessantly. There was a glass of milk on the table in front of him.
When Chen Ya said he wanted to see the super complicated timepiece series, he glanced at him slightly.
Just then, Lu Qianzi sneaked over and sat down next to Chen Ya.
