Chapter 50: The Moon Rises Over the Sea

Upon seeing An Xin, Chu Xinxin immediately wanted to say something but quickly changed her mind upon noticing Gao Qilan.

The person who had been banging on the table rushed towards An Xin as soon as he arrived, led by a sturdy man at the forefront.

"Brother, I've heard you've been quite wild lately..."

An Xin sneered in response, "Really? Not as wild as you all."

Hearing this, the sturdy man touched his own bald head and said, "Looks like you're not convinced! I've heard you're one tough guy who can take on ten at once. Just wondering if we could witness that."

As they spoke, someone lunged forward, but An Xin dodged, leaving the attacker grasping at air.

The sturdy man attempted to seize him amidst the chaos but ended up missing as well.

"We shouldn't scare the lady; let's move somewhere else."

However, An Xin didn't give them a chance to leave and swiftly took them all down.

He then turned to Chu Xinxin and Hu Xiao beside him, "Let's go next door. Someone will clean up here."

They moved to a nearby place, which was where the store staff were having their team-building event.

Above the banquet, two large characters for 'Moon' were written, surrounded by people playing music and singing.

An Xin couldn't help but pause before asking the manager beside him, "What is this?"

"You've been so good to us, we wanted to repay your kindness. This is considered a grand store celebration where we can create a dreamlike dinner party for these wealthy guests," explained the manager, his face lighting up with excitement.

Yet, the manager was also a bit worried since the店主hadn't planned any of this.

It was all his own decision, and he wondered if it would cause any negative impact.

Seeing the manager's concerned look, An Xin said directly, "Here's another five million. Make today's dinner party a memorable one."

An Xin also had the previous set of beautiful clothes placed at the highest spot, catching everyone's attention with its splendor instantly.

Someone joked, "The boss of Moonlight is quite something; this is the first time I've seen such a grand store celebration."

Soon after, a giant moon appeared atop the Qin Feng Hotel, big and round, making everyone almost forget its name, with only 'Moonlight' lingering in their minds.

Watching the unprecedented spectacle, Chu Xinxin suddenly felt her breath shorten and heart race.

Was this what her mother meant when she said, "When you stand at the pinnacle of the Forbidden City overlooking all mountains as small, no grand scene will faze you, leaving nothing to surprise you."

But this was truly too exciting. Even though her parents often took her to various gatherings, she still felt somewhat panicked.

This was centered around her own efforts.

Noticing Chu Xinxin's nervousness, An Xin reassured, "Don't worry, we'll handle it today."

Chu Xinxin managed a smile, yet remained anxious.

"I have a task for you later. Whether Moonlight turns profitable by month's end depends on your performance today. As a successful partner, I have full confidence in you," An Xin said gently to those around him.

Chu Xinxin, initially tense, suddenly felt much calmer.

Gao Qilan, seeing Chu Xinxin leave, couldn't help but laugh, "She was so nervous just now, how come a few words from you and her nerves are gone?"

"I just mentioned our profit target for the end of the month, and then she feared nothing," An Xin replied with a smile. For a businessperson, nothing is more attractive than profit.

Gao Qilan chuckled, "You're indeed clever. No wonder even the sharp Chu Xinxin has fallen for you."

"Such jealousy! Could it be you're envious?" An Xin teased, turning towards Gao Qilan.

Only to see Gao Qilan sipping fruit wine delicately, her pink cheeks irresistibly charming.

The troublemakers were also discreetly removed by the owner of Qin Feng Hotel.

Meanwhile, Hu Xiao sat in a distant booth, drunkenly watching An Xin from afar, pondering why such a handsome man was already taken.

If her cousin hadn't offended him, might there have been a chance?

Hu Xiao couldn't help but mock herself with a bitter laugh, "Impossible!"

"Cousin, you're foolish to contend with someone like him."

After saying this, Hu Xiao took another gulp of wine. She thought she was wealthy until she realized, compared to An Xin, she couldn't even afford to mention it.

Gathering the courage to get to know him again, she saw Gao Qilan, an even more beautiful woman.

She wanted to step forward and ask but retreated.

On a stage not far away, Chu Xinxin suddenly announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, today marks the opening ceremony of Moonlight. You must have seen the ten most beautiful outfits on display."

"These are part of our owner's latest series, 'Flowers Bloom and Moon is Full', each infused with the designer's unique dedication."

"They are also handmade with special materials, incorporating jacquard techniques to reach the pinnacle of craftsmanship."

With these words, Chu Xinxin directed all the lights onto the gorgeous outfits.

And the crowd was dazzled by the sight of the clothes.

Before long, numerous celebrities parked their cars outside the hotel.

No one expected Moonlight, a new store, to attract so many influential figures after spending five million.

Suddenly, An Xin heard the voice of System Big Brother.

"Exceeding the target, the store receives a super boost for five hours."

Though An Xin didn't understand the meaning of this super boost, after seeing nearly all the stars arrive, he began to comprehend.

It seemed today's Moonlight had truly become the legend: "The moon rises over the sea, sharing this moment with all under heaven."

Soon, a female celebrity became enamored with one of the outfits.

She whispered to her bodyguard, "Contact the owner of this store for me; I must buy this outfit today, no matter the cost."

Just as everyone was poised for action, Chu Xinxin dropped an even more sensational announcement.

"Our owner has one more message for everyone: today's outfits will be given away through a raffle, regardless of status or rank. Everyone can participate. This is Moonlight's greatest gift to you all."

Watching the celebrities turn red-eyed with desire, An Xin gripped his wine glass, thinking this was just the beginning.
