Chapter 9: A hourly wage of 20,000 yuan, is this the place I can come to?

"Did you have any long-sleeved clothes that suit her?" Qi Yun asked the waiter.

"We have both shirts and T-shirts," the waiter replied.

"Bring them all for us to see!"

Still dazed, Lian Qingxue was pulled into the fitting room.

After a while, no one had come out yet.

"Lian Qingxue?" Qi Yun couldn't help but ask at the door of the fitting room.

At this point, Lian Qingxue nervously opened the door.

At first glance, Qi Yun couldn't help but be stunned. She had already changed into a white shirt with her long black hair draped over her shoulders. The whole person stood tall and slender like a shy narcissus flower. Even the nearby staff were amazed by her appearance.

"Why does this outfit look so good? Why doesn't it have that effect on me when I wear it?"

"That's because she looks good in everything. This outfit makes her look expensive."

A middle-aged woman next to them also saw Lian Qingxue's appearance and couldn't help but say to the staff: "What kind of clothes is this girl wearing? Let me see it so I can buy one for my daughter too!"

Seemingly not used to everyone's praise, Lian Qingxue lowered her slender neck and covered one hand in front of herself.

Qi Yun understood immediately upon seeing this -the shirt was pure white and slightly transparent; you could even see some of what she wore underneath- an undershirt or bra perhaps?

"I think...she might be wearing a bandeau top?" Qi Yun was puzzled as bandeaus are usually worn by girls who just entered puberty; hardly anyone wears them after junior high school since they would switch to more mature styles instead.

Thinking about Lian Qingxue's frugality made him understand why she chose such an undergarment.

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

"Where are you looking?"

"Wherever looks good!" Qi Yun said with a smile and told the staff: "Wrap up this outfit!"

"What? Aren't you going to look anymore?" Lian Qingxue couldn't help but raise her head.

"It's 198 yuan in total," the waiter smiled as he handed over the packaged clothes, not giving Lian Qingxue a chance to refuse!

Qi Yun counted his money. He had just enough -with the one hundred yuan reward he received earlier- to buy it.

After paying, a prompt sounded in his ear: "The host has completed an investment. Congratulations! The host has earned a rebate of 1,980 yuan!"

His phone vibrated in his pocket; it was a text message confirming that the money had been deposited into his account.

What else was there to say?

Buy it!

...

Lian Qingxue gradually felt that going out to buy clothes with Qi Yun was a mistake.

She thought buying a coat would be enough.

But...

"How much is this sweater?"

"Eighty, why so cheap! Let's buy it!"

Lian Qingxue covered her heart and began to feel distressed.

"These pants are two hundred and ninety-eight? Great! I'll pay for them!"

Lian Qingxue took out a small notebook from her backpack and started frowning as she kept track of the expenses.

"How much is this down jacket? It's a bit expensive? Expensive is good!"

"It's only 1,888 yuan? Alright, let's buy it!"

Lian Qingxue couldn't help herself anymore.

She grabbed Qi Yun who was still excited: "We bought too much..."

Qi Yun looked at Lian Qingxue's anxious face and shook his head involuntarily.

He knew he couldn't go overboard. After all, if Lian Qingxue didn't voluntarily accept his investment, there would be no rebate for him.

But after roughly calculating the expenses today - spending 180 yuan on shirts, almost 300 yuan on sweaters and pants - the biggest expense was certainly the down jacket which cost 1,888 yuan.

In total they spent more than two thousand yuan.

After deducting costs, he probably earned around twenty thousand yuan.

After calculating his earnings, Qi Yun looked at Lian Qingxue with extremely hot eyes. He couldn't really scare her off though because he knew he shouldn't fish everything in one go; instead he should take things slowly but surely!

However...

Is this the kind of exciting store we came to?

Is this a place I can come to?

"What are we doing here?"

Qi Yun glanced subtly at Lian Qingxue in front of him and said, "What you're wearing is not very healthy, especially when it comes to exercising."

Upon hearing this, Lian Qingxue quickly covered her chest with both hands.

Steam seemed to be rising from her head as she was about to explode.

"Girls should take good care of themselves!" Qi Yun showed a wise old man's gaze and sighed deeply.

"...I don't need your help!"

"How about I pick something for you?"

Lian Qingxue was shocked and forgot all about feeling wronged.

She glared fiercely at Qi Yun before taking small steps into the store.
