Chapter 477 Eating what's in the bowl while eyeing what's in the pot
Ming Nianxi stood there, hesitant to move—she looked at the prices in the store, which were often several thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan, and simply couldn't bring herself to buy them.
Lu Boyi noticed her embarrassment, took her hand, and said softly, "Don't be shy, I'll help you choose, there's bound to be something you like."
Ming Nianxi had no choice but to let him pull her upstairs. Before leaving, she turned to Lu Boxi and instructed him, "Please decide on a place for dinner tonight, and choose a quiet one."
Lu Boxi nodded quickly: "Okay, I promise I'll arrange everything perfectly!"
The four shop assistants standing nearby watched the group with curious eyes, not daring to approach them easily.
Seeing this, the store manager quickly beckoned over two quick-handed and gentle employees and whispered a few instructions to them.
The store manager walked up to Ming Nianxi and Zhao Yizhi and asked with a smile, "Ladies, you can each choose a staff member to serve you and see which one you prefer."
The store manager had already learned about the dispute that had just occurred in the store from the other employees. He knew that in order to improve sales performance and to avoid offending Young Master Lu, he absolutely could not let the female salesperson who had been rude earlier serve Ming Nianxi again.
Ming Nianxi glanced at the two shop assistants and chose a girl with a cute appearance and a gentle smile;
Zhao Yizhi did not choose the remaining one.
The saleswoman who spoke rudely and had an arrogant attitude was chosen by Zhao Yizhi.
The female saleswoman, who had just been sullen about losing a big order, was overjoyed to be chosen by Zhao Yizhi.
—If you don't choose me, someone else will. Perhaps this celebrity client will be even more generous.
Thinking of this, the smile on her face brightened considerably.
This luxury store has two floors; the second floor is the clothing section, and the first floor is the bag section.
The bags on the first floor are divided into two levels: the regular models can be purchased directly without any purchase limit;
However, limited edition items require prior matching with other items, and the matching ratio varies, sometimes 1:1, sometimes 1:1.5, and sometimes even 1:2.
Simply put, if a limited edition bag is priced at 100,000, you would have to buy 200,000 worth of clothing in the store before you are even eligible to buy the bag.
The reason for this regulation is to prevent people from buying expensive bags but wearing cheap clothes, which would make them look out of place and lower the brand's image.
Ming Nianxi looked at the clothes hanging on the second floor. The price of any one of them was equivalent to two or three months' salary for her. She was speechless and couldn't bring herself to buy them.
Seeing this, Lu Boyi didn't force her. He took the initiative to help her choose, his eyes serious and focused, picking out styles that were simple and comfortable.
But Zhao Yizhi, standing to the side, watched as Lu Boyi made the shop assistant bring her an identical pair of clothes for every outfit he selected for Ming Nianxi, a subtle competitive glint in her eyes.
Lu Boxi was still on the first floor with Lu Boyi and hadn't come up, so he didn't notice his girlfriend's little actions at all.
Ming Nianxi frowned slightly as she watched Zhao Yizhi's actions.
I felt a little uncomfortable, but I didn't know what to say.
Xie Shuyao saw through Zhao Yizhi's manipulative behavior clearly and couldn't help but speak up, her tone calm yet sharp: "Miss Zhao, these styles don't seem to suit you very well, do they?"
"These were all specially chosen by Lu Yi for Xi Xi, to suit her temperament. You can actually choose clothes that suit your own style better."
Xie Shuyao never liked Zhao Yizhi.
—This woman is clearly Lu Boyi's younger brother's girlfriend, but she practically has her eyes on Lu Yi.
He looked distracted, clearly wanting more than he had.
She was becoming increasingly curious about Lu Yi's identity. For a female celebrity like Zhao Yizhi to be so eager to follow him, his family background must be extremely prominent.
But Xixi, that silly girl, hasn't figured out Zhao Yizhi's intentions yet.
She even obediently tried on the clothes Lu Boyi had chosen, without any sense of caution whatsoever.
Xie Shuyao was secretly anxious: You know, a reliable, wealthy, and truly loving husband...
It's much harder to find than a good job, and Xixi can't let someone steal her away.
Ming Nianxi didn't really think much of it, assuming that Zhao Yizhi simply liked the styles, so she obediently took the clothes Lu Boyi had chosen and went into the fitting room.
Lu Boyi chooses clothes that are relatively understated, without eye-catching brand logos, but they are of high quality and very suitable for everyday wear.
He selected several sets of two-piece outfits and a few simple dresses, all of which were hung at the entrance of the fitting room.
After changing into a different outfit, Ming Nianxi looked at the dozen or so clothes hanging by the door and couldn't help but ask, "Do I have to try on so many? Isn't that too much trouble?"
Looking at her in her new clothes, Lu Boyi's eyes flashed with amazement. He smiled and said, "Try them on. Try on a few more and see which one you like best. Buy them all and wear them in rotation."
Zhao Yizhi stood to the side, watching the slightly awkward yet tacit understanding between Ming Nianxi and Lu Boyi.
She was filled with doubt: she really couldn't understand it, Lu Boyi had only just returned to the country not long ago,
I'd never heard of him having a girlfriend before, so how did he get so close to this girl so quickly?
At this moment, Lu Boxi came up from the first floor. As soon as he saw Zhao Yizhi, he noticed that she didn't look well.
She quickly went over and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell, or can't find any clothes you like?"
Zhao Yizhi quickly concealed the displeasure in her eyes, forced a smile, and shook her head: "It's nothing, I was just a little bored waiting for you to come up for so long."
The two of them went back and forth between the fitting room and the rest area for more than an hour before finally choosing their clothes.
Lu Boyi looked at Ming Nianxi and saw how beautiful she looked in every outfit, his eyes filled with doting affection. He turned to the shop assistant beside him and instructed, "Wrap up all these clothes. No need to pick any more."
Ming Nianxi was startled and quickly grabbed him, "Wait, there are about ten pieces, right? You don't need to buy so many. One piece will be enough for me to wear for a long time."
She secretly calculated that these dozen or so pieces of clothing must cost at least tens of thousands of yuan. How could she possibly spend so much of Lu Boyi's money?
Their relationship isn't at the point where they can freely spend each other's money, especially since they're not married yet; it would be inappropriate for them to do so.
Lu Boyi gently patted her hand, his voice both gentle and firm: "This is my heartfelt gift. You don't need to feel any pressure. This is a gift I'm giving to my girlfriend."
Xie Shuyao chimed in, laughing, "That's right, Xixi, just keep it. Others would love to have it, don't let Lu Boyi's feelings go to waste. Besides, if you don't want it, there are plenty of others waiting to snatch it."
As she spoke, she glanced meaningfully at Zhao Yizhi.
