Chapter 192 - Why are you stalking me? Part 5

After celebrating their successful preparations, Runyan and the team promptly arrived the next day to do some final touch ups and last minute rearrangements.

This evening the mall owner had organized a huge gala on the ground floor common space to kick start the grand opening.

Several big shots and even some famous celebrities were invited to attend the grand opening.

And all the shops were also scheduled to open for business at the same time to increase the hype and rave about the event in socialite circles.

Since the mall exclusively housed high end stores and boutiques, the decorations were all very elegantly done.

All the store fronts looked fancy and exquisite with the right amount of bedazzling.

Boutiques had their best selling pieces up front and jewelry shops had their most ornate designs on display.

Observing all the shops around them, the new manager Wan Wan couldn't help but feel a little insecure and expressed her concerns to Runyan. "Boss, it feels like we don't have that "IT" factor for our shop yet? "

"Look at all those beautiful dresses and dazzling watches in the display section." Wan Wan pointed towards their neighbors. "Since our shop is just selling bottles of face creams and oils, maybe we are just a tad bit lagging behind the others??"

Runyan patted the concerned woman and smiled. "Don't worry. We have the most impactful hit factor among everyone here!! Did you start working on the store's posters yet?"

Wan Wan hurriedly nodded. "No Boss. That is the last thing remaining. We will do that now."

"He He. You should do that. Then you will see our special "It" factor".

Runyan instructed the new manager and went back to arranging the sales system, product shipment, and cash flow. 

Since she wouldn't be here that often, she wanted to make sure that every single process was streamlined and the shop could function independently without much oversight.

And just as she had expected, a few seconds later, high-pitched stereotypical fan girl screams echoed from inside as the posters were being unfolded.

Runyan shook her head and chuckled. She was already used to these sorts of responses!

After all, the posters were still the same compared to their previous store and they all portrayed different angles of the smoking hot devilishly handsome man, Luther.

In their flagship store back in Hangzhou city, it was a common occurrence for women to drool over the life-sized posters on a daily basis!!

"Just for his face, these women were shrieking so much, if only they knew how much he pampered Lin Lin. They would all probably go crazy with jealousy."

She shook her head and chuckled.

"Boss, Boss, which new model is this? Oh my god. My heart is beating crazily. I am going to faint from this sudden happiness!!!"

"He He. He is out exclusive secret store model." Runyan chuckled.

Wan Wan was extremely excited. "No wonder you were confident that our store will stand out among these other eye-catching stores. With this face, our store would definitely make both men and women stop and stare!!"

Sigh... Unfortunately, some things can only be looked at and were not physically reachable. If only she could meet this man in person... even from a distance... just once... 

Runyan understandingly patted the pitiful day dreaming girl. Sorry, he is already taken!

At almost six in the evening, the crowd started gathering near the mall's main entrance and a bunch of rich folks dressed in expensive formal evening attire waltzed into the brand new building.

A lavish food buffet complemented this mood and in short, the opening looked like it was a huge success.

After settling everyone in their respective positions upstairs, Runyan slowly walked down to mingle with the crowd.

Much to her dismay, social networking at events like this was apparently a must to young and budding entrepreneurs.

It encouraged forming friendly connections and collaborations and was listed in every book as a useful tool for developing the company.

But for an introvert like Runyan, this was pure torture.

Even then, she forced herself and resolved to at least talk to one stranger tonight. All for her sister's sake!

As she scanned the crowd for familiar faces, Runyan, just as expected didn't seem to know anyone here.

She tried introducing herself to a couple of socialites, but they didn't have a welcoming tone and ignored her after the initial customary greetings.

Family names were everything, and since Runyan didn't have one or rather refused to use hers, she was easily cast aside and ignored, no matter how pretty and elegant she looked.

She even spotted a few of the celebrities and big shots already starting to tour the various shops in the mall and so she quickly hurried over to their store outlet.

She might not be good at socializing but Runyan was definitely good at managing their production and distribution departments. So she didn't get discouraged and happily headed upstairs to oversee and finish her task of the day.

And as fate would have it...

Just as she gave up on mingling with others and turned around, she finally came face to face with a familiar figure, though not a friendly one.

"Are you serious??" Su Han raised his eyebrows in utter disbelief. This woman definitely had some guts.

He had just caught her yesterday shamelessly stalking him and even called her out on it right at the spot, but the brazen woman again stood in front of him the very next day!!

"Seriously, what do you want from me?"

"Let me get this straight. Even if you held me at gunpoint, I would never ever invest in your pitiful company. So just cut it out. Stop with this nonsensical stalking."
