CH 9

Chapter 9: An hourly wage of twenty thousand, is this a place I can come to?

“Do you have long sleeves that would suit her?” Qi Yun asked the sales clerk.

“We do, both shirts and T-shirts.”

“Let’s take a look at all of them!”

Lian Qingxue was led to the fitting room in a daze. After a long while, no one came out from inside.

“Lian Qingxue?” Qi Yun couldn’t help but ask at the door of the fitting room.

At this point, Lian Qingxue shyly opened the door.

At first glance, Qi Yun couldn’t help but be stunned. She had changed into a white shirt, her long black hair draped over her shoulders. She stood tall and elegant, like a shy daffodil.

Even the sales clerk was stunned.

“Is this shirt so good-looking? Why doesn’t it look like this when I wear it?”

“It’s because she’s good-looking. Indeed, the shirt looks more expensive when she wears it.”

A middle-aged woman standing nearby also noticed Lian Qingxue.

“I want to see what kind of clothes this young girl is wearing. I want to buy the same one for my daughter!” she said to the sales clerk.

Apparently not used to the praise, Lian Qingxue lowered her slender neck and covered herself with one hand.

Qi Yun understood at a glance. The shirt was pure white and slightly translucent. Lian Qingxue’s inner wear was somewhat visible.

“But… it seems she’s wearing a bandeau?” Qi Yun was a bit puzzled, as bandeaus were typically worn by girls just entering puberty. After about junior high, girls would usually switch to more mature styles. Considering Lian Qingxue’s frugality, he had a vague understanding.

Seeing Qi Yun staring at her, Lian Qingxue became even more shy.

“What are you looking at!”

“Look at what’s beautiful!” Qi Yun said with a grin, and then told the sales clerk, “Wrap up this shirt!”

“What? Aren’t you going to look anymore?” Lian Qingxue, forgetting her shyness, looked up suddenly.

“That’ll be one hundred and ninety-eight!”

The sales clerk happily handed over the packaged clothes, not giving Lian Qingxue a chance to refuse.

Qi Yun counted the money in his hand. He had just over a hundred, plus the hundred he’d been rewarded earlier, which was just enough to afford it.

After paying, a prompt sounded in his ear: “Host completed an investment, congratulations, host, you’ve earned a rebate of 1980 yuan!”

His phone vibrated in his pocket, it was a notification of the deposit.

What else was there to say?

Buy!

…

Lian Qingxue gradually felt that going shopping for clothes with Qi Yun was a mistake. She thought they were just going to buy a coat.

But…

“How much is this sweater?”

“Eighty, how come it’s so cheap! Let’s buy it!”

Lian Qingxue clutched her chest, starting to feel heartache.

“These pants are two hundred and ninety-eight? Good! Let’s pay!”

Lian Qingxue took out a small notebook from her backpack, and began to jot down their expenses with a troubled expression.

“How much is this down jacket? A bit expensive? Expensive is good!”

“Only one thousand eight hundred and eight? Alright, let’s buy it!”

Lian Qingxue couldn’t take it anymore.

“We’ve bought too much…” she said, pulling the enthusiastic Qi Yun.

Qi Yun looked at the anxious Lian Qingxue and shook his head. He knew he couldn’t go overboard. After all, if Lian Qingxue wasn’t willing to accept his investments, there would be no return.

But after a rough calculation, he realized that they had spent around two thousand today. The shirt was one hundred and eight, the sweater and trousers nearly three hundred, and the most expensive item, the down jacket, was one thousand eight hundred and eight. So, after deducting the cost, he probably earned around twenty thousand.

After doing the math, they hadn’t even been shopping for an hour. His hourly wage exceeded twenty thousand!

After calculating his earnings, Qi Yun looked at Lian Qingxue with a heated gaze.

He had to make sure not to scare Lian Qingxue. After all, he couldn’t exhaust his resources; he had to keep a steady pace!

But…

“Let’s go to one more store!”

“Just one more?”

“Yes! The last one!”

Lian Qingxue thought for a moment and finally nodded. She had been frightened by Qi Yun’s shopping frenzy.

Qi Yun led Lian Qingxue down half the street until they arrived at the store Qi Yun had mentioned. By this time, Lian Qingxue was too tired to walk.

She stared blankly at the scantily-clad lingerie models in the window.

Wait…

So they had come to such a provocative store? Was this a place she could come to?

“What are we doing here?”

Qi Yun cast a subtle glance at Lian Qingxue and said, “What you’re wearing isn’t very healthy, especially when exercising.”

Upon hearing this, Lian Qingxue hurriedly covered her chest with both hands. Steam seemed to be rising from her head, as if she were about to smoke.

“Girls should take good care of themselves!” Qi Yun said, his gaze filled with the vicissitudes of an older man.

“…I don’t need it!”

“How about I pick for you?”

Lian Qingxue was shocked, so shocked that she forgot her grievance. She glared fiercely at Qi Yun and slowly stepped into the store.
