Starlight Plaza.
Inside the Chanel counter, after some careful choosing, Xu Zixuan finally selected shade No. 920 from the Miss Coco Series, priced at 400 yuan.
I had to admit, that price was very Chanel!
An Wuyang looked at Xu Zixuan's choice and almost lost his composure. In his eyes, the shade No. 920 she had chosen was exceptionally ugly, resembling the color of some kind of blood.
What taste.
Hard to comment!
Anyway, An Wuyang felt that Xu Zixuan's taste was questionable.
After Niu Fenjin paid, Zhou Yue took a brand-new tube of the Miss Coco Series No. 920 true-red lipstick from the display and began inspecting it. She also indicated that Xu Zixuan should check for flaws as well, explaining, "Our beauty products cannot be returned or exchanged after purchase. We hope you understand."
Beauty products were indeed troublesome when it came to returns and exchanges. Most of them could neither be returned nor exchanged.
Xu Zixuan knew about this rule too, and answered firmly, "Okay, I understand."
After the inspection was complete, Zhou Yue placed the lipstick in a small shopping bag. She then tied a bow with Chanel's custom ribbon around the handles of the paper bag before handing it to Xu Zixuan.
Seeing Xu Zixuan take the shopping bag, Niu Fenjin was just preparing to find an excuse to slip away with her when he heard Zhou Yue call out, "An, there's also a trial set here. It's for this beautiful lady."
Zhou Yue picked up a medium-sized Chanel shopping bag and handed it to An Wuyang.
An Wuyang took it and casually passed it to Xia Yuqing.
Xia Yuqing hesitated slightly but accepted it anyway, secretly consoling herself that it was merely a free set of trial samples.
Xu Zixuan watched Zhou Yue give Xia Yuqing a large bag of trial samples, and immediately felt unbalanced. She was the one who had spent money buying the product, yet the trial samples had been given to Xia Yuqing?
Was that fair?
That didn't seem reasonable, did it?
So Xu Zixuan asked directly, "Don't I get any trial samples?"
Zhou Yue first looked at An Wuyang. She was planning to adjust her treatment according to the customer!
If An Wuyang showed any indication, she could give Xu Zixuan some samples. But if he showed no such indication, she would not give her any.
Faced with Zhou Yue's gaze, An Wuyang did not respond at all. He even looked toward Xia Yuqing. That dismissive attitude was itself an answer.
So Zhou Yue replied apologetically, "I'm sorry, miss. At the moment, we don't have a promotion offering trial samples with lipstick purchases."
In truth, whether to give away trial samples depended entirely on the sales associate's judgment.
She could give them away, or she could choose not to.
Without any indication from An Wuyang, Zhou Yue could still have given Xu Zixuan a few samples. For example, she could have given her a 1.5-milliliter perfume sample. What would have been the problem with that?
The key was that An Wuyang had given no indication!
Since they had come to the counter together, An Wuyang still refusing to say anything meant that their relationship was clearly poor, not merely that they were unfamiliar.
If they had even a slightly better relationship, wouldn't An Wuyang have helped put in a word?
Faced with the sales associate's refusal, Xu Zixuan furrowed her brows. She looked at Xia Yuqing, then at An Wuyang, but An Wuyang and Xia Yuqing seemed to be whispering to each other, and neither of them had any intention of paying attention to her.
Niu Fenjin broke the awkward silence and took the initiative to speak. "An, weren't you going to buy a suit?"
An Wuyang deliberately turned the invitation around. "Brother Niu, why don't you come help me take a look?"
Faced with An Wuyang's invitation, Niu Fenjin instinctively wanted to refuse, even though An Wuyang had just accompanied them to Chanel to buy lipstick.
Niu Fenjin even suddenly felt that An Wuyang had accompanied them to buy lipstick precisely because he was familiar with the sales associate, making the two of them look like clowns. Wasn't that it?
However, before Niu Fenjin could refuse, Xu Zixuan agreed. "Okay, An. We can help you take a look."
"." Niu Fenjin was speechless. He did not want to help An Wuyang choose at all.
After all, based on what had happened at the Chanel beauty counter, Niu Fenjin had already determined that An Wuyang was definitely no ordinary person. Otherwise, the Chanel sales associate would not have been so enthusiastic.
Following An Wuyang to buy a suit now would not be helping him choose anything. It would be a public execution, all right?
Didn't he, Niu Fenjin, have any dignity?
Thinking about how he had shown off his Chanel lipstick earlier, along with his superior attitude, Niu Fenjin felt his toes curl from embarrassment.
Xu Zixuan, however, had other ideas!
Xu Zixuan had already thought An Wuyang was very handsome. Now that she had discovered his family seemed to be extremely well-off, she immediately developed some other thoughts.
Although Xu Zixuan was far behind Xia Yuqing in terms of looks, she felt that she had other advantages.
For example, Xia Yuqing was very conservative!
There were things Xu Zixuan could do that Xia Yuqing definitely could not.
Xu Zixuan had never hoped to tie An Wuyang down. She merely wanted to obtain some benefits through him. This was called upward socializing, okay?
Did they understand the value of upward socializing?
Seeing that Xu Zixuan had already agreed, Niu Fenjin could only grit his teeth and agree as well. "Okay, An. We'll help you come up with an alternative opinion."
Xia Yuqing looked at her cousin suspiciously. She had realized that Xu Zixuan probably had ulterior motives!
Xia Yuqing was a little anxious. She did not know how to warn An Wuyang. After all, it would be strange for her to say something like that, and she had no position from which to do so.
Xu Zixuan followed up by asking, "An, which brand of suit are you planning to buy?"
An Wuyang did not answer directly. He replied with a smile, "I'm pretty familiar with Starlight Plaza too."
Xu Zixuan had previously expressed how familiar she was with Starlight Plaza, and now An Wuyang was expressing the same thing. Xia Yuqing almost laughed aloud beside them, because she knew An Wuyang was being sarcastic and mocking Xu Zixuan!
At the same time, Xia Yuqing knew she no longer needed to warn An Wuyang.
An Wuyang did not give Xu Zixuan time to think either. He called for Xia Yuqing to walk ahead.
Xu Zixuan pulled Niu Fenjin along behind them. Her curiosity had already been piqued. She wanted to see exactly which brand of suit An Wuyang would buy and use that to judge his family's financial situation.
If An Wuyang's family really was well-off, Xu Zixuan felt she could charge forward without hesitation!
Even if An Wuyang gave her nothing, a handsome high school graduate brimming with youthful charm was still a win for her, right?
An Wuyang did not yet know that Xu Zixuan had set her sights on him. After all, within An Wuyang's social circle, he truly had never encountered someone like Xu Zixuan.
An Wuyang led Xia Yuqing toward Zegna with practiced familiarity. He chose Zegna not only because of its exceptionally high position among men's brands, but also because An Huchun was a Zegna customer.
When Niu Fenjin followed An Wuyang and Xia Yuqing to the entrance of the Zegna store, he already felt his scalp go numb.
