Rebirth: Super Banking System

Chapter 291: Chapter 237 Territory Planning, Trying on Clothes (Subscribe!)_2

Without question, Tang Qing would rule the underground world in Bangkok within half a month. However, he didn’t have any interests in being the boss of these hooligans. He wouldn’t even involve himself in this had it not been for his Uncle Er.

"How about the others?" Tang Qing asked, naturally referring to the soldiers, intelligence analysts, and business robots who moved to Thailand.

"Commander, all have reached their respective set goals," Tang Yi replied.

"Any conflicts?" Tang Qing asked further.

"Commander, there were none. Some strict examination was there though, we have handled them all without being found out by anyone. All loose ends have been permanently tied up," Tang Yi said.

"That’s good. The auxiliary plan should be executed slowly and subtly," Tang Qing suggested. These guys were practically meant for war and conspiracy. They utterly disregarded human life, which is why he always reminded Tang Yi. Also, for any mission that would cause substantial casualties, he would roughly look at it and suggest a gentler strategy.

Sigh... It’s a headache to deal with subordinates who resort to extreme measures at the slightest disagreement. But he couldn’t entirely stop them, otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to get anything done till now.

"Yes, commander," Tang Yi responded.

....

Seeing there was nothing to attend to, Tang Qing teleported back to his luxurious office in Sheng Tang.

True, he skipped his classes again. Too many things to handle in the morning, he decided to finish them altogether. All night he was curious about the reactions of Guan Kun and others. Plus, Qi Yan insisted he try the custom-made clothes, on top of that, Dou Jiao would be back this afternoon and would want him to join her for lunch. Tang Qing simply decided to get everything done in the morning. That said, Dou Jiao mentioned a surprise, which Tang Qing wasn’t looking forward to at all.

It wouldn’t be a pleasant surprise, for sure.

Sitting in the boss chair.

Tang Qing did not leave right away. Instead, he played the game "Legend" in his office for a while. There were no proper games worth playing. The other online games which released in 2005 didn’t’ spark his interest, and the stand-alone games he enjoyed were not yet out.

He couldn’t even play games in the command room.

Even a proper computer wasn’t available, there was no specialized communication chip. Not just the communication server, even Little Two didn’t provide any wired or wireless internet connection. He could log in to online games through Little Two’s projection, but without a mouse. Though he could play it like a touch screen, it wasn’t as satisfying.

Playing without holding something in hand always felt off. Just like the ’King’s Glory’ in later years, it never felt right to play on a mobile phone. Gaming without a mouse lacked the fun.

This time, he was playing on the official server of Shanda. Though leveling up was slow, once he had enough money, he could hire someone to help with leveling up. Eventually annoyed by the low-level monsters, Tang Qing directly hired someone else to level him up, he would buy equipment later.

He planned to rule the entire server.

Cough, cough... this was a wild dream, of course.

In ’Legend’, unlike in ’Journey’, he couldn’t single-handedly take on an entire country. A group of people with comparable equipment in ’Legend’ could team up and take him down.

After handing over his game account to the other party, Tang Qing turned off the computer.

He was headed upstairs.

Upon reaching the staircase, Tang Qing heard the usual chatter. Every time he passed by this spot, he felt as if he was running a fake fashion company with fake designers.

Turning right, he came to Qi Yan’s workspace. Qi Yan was sorting out clothes with her head down. As soon as Tang Qing entered, Shen Nian, who had sharp eyes, stood straight and greeted, "Good day, Boss Tang."

"And to you," Tang Qing responded with a nod.

Seeing Tang Qing, Qi Yan lifted her head and her face lit up with a bright smile. She waved at him and said, "Young boss, come try on the clothes. You must try all of them before you leave. We’ll change any that don’t fit."

Initially, when Tang Qing’s clothes were ready and stacked in the cupboard, he kept saying he didn’t have the time each time they called. This frustrated the designers who were eager to see him in their designs, so they constantly nagged at her.

"Sister Yan, the clothes you designed should fit me perfectly. No need to try them, right?" Tang Qing said with a bitter smile. There must be fifty or sixty outfits in this cupboard. He wasn’t a woman who finds trying on clothes interesting.

Hearing this, Qi Yan glared at Tang Qing and said, "How is that possible? Clothes are not just about fitting, they must suit the person and match well with their style, which can only be verified when worn."

"Sister Yan, I think all of these are pretty good. They’ll surely look great when worn." Tang Qing complimented as he flipped through the clothes in the wardrobe.

Qi Yan shook her head and said, "No, not acceptable. You must try on each and every one today. We’ve been waiting for so long, you can’t just casually dismiss this. By trying them on, we can accumulate design experience. Besides, many designers are eagerly waiting for you to try on their designs."

"What?" Tang Qing was taken aback. Was he about to be ’surrounded’ again?

"Haha.. What’s with that expression? It’s not like you’re going to the execution ground." Qi Yan was amused by Tang Qing’s expression. She pointed behind him and said, "Behind you."

Behind?

Tang Qing turned around in confusion, only to see a group of designers walking in, all looking at him with gleaming eyes.

"Hello, Boss Tang."

"Boss Tang, you’re finally here."

"We’ve been waiting so long that our flowers have wilted."

"..."

Are they playing Landlord?

Tang Qing felt a dull headache coming on.

"Sister Yan...can’t we just not do this? It’s only trying on the clothes. Is it necessary for everyone to gather around?" Tang Qing helplessly said to Qi Yan.

"It can’t be helped. After all, these clothes were designed specifically for you. And besides, who can resist your good looks and perfect figure? You are the perfect model!" Qi Yan teased, laughing uproariously.

"Erm..." Tang Qing wanted to ask if they didn’t have work to do, and perhaps throw around some boss-like attitude. But seeing so many eyes filled with anticipation and excitement, he couldn’t bring himself to dismiss them outright.

Being surrounded by a group of beauties while trying on clothes.

This is a privilege that many men can only dream about.

Well, alright then.

It wouldn’t kill him to try on a few clothes. They had put a lot of effort into designing these clothes just for him. He’d been away for nearly a month, and no one could fault the designers wanting to see the fruits of their labor.

"Alright then. I’ll try them on. But we have to do it quickly, I’ve got things to do this afternoon." Tang Qing agreed with a nod. Seeing how excited the designers were, he wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry. But he wasn’t mad. After all, having such adorable employees, there was nothing to be angry about.

"Don’t worry, boss, we’ll have you done before lunch. Now go change." Qi Yan handed him one of the clothes she’d just folded.

"Okay."

For the next two hours, Tang Qing was paraded around like a show horse. Yes, he was being admired as an attractive man, but after several rounds of this, it was getting a bit tiresome.

Surprisingly, while most of the clothes fit well, there were a few that just looked off, no matter how they tried to match them. Qi Yan put those aside, decreeing that Tang Qing wasn’t allowed to be seen in them. In her words, failed designs held no value.

The rest was decent, and indeed, Tang Qing did pull off the model role quite well.

He was quite stylish and handsome, especially considering all these clothes were given the seal of approval by two or three dozen professional fashion designers. Qi Yan even mentioned these designs were exclusively for him, one-of-a-kind, and wouldn’t be reproduced. This made Tang Qing feel a little overwhelmed.

After the trying-on session, Tang Qing piles the clothes into his car. Naturally, he couldn’t take all of them home. He left part of them in his office, another portion in his Audi, only planning to take ten plus pieces home.

PS: A big Chapter of 4,000 words today. Did not have time to write during the day, waited for inspiration to come in the evening. Only started writing after 8 o’ clock. I’m all worn out. It was a bit verbose at the beginning as it’s a summary and a turning point. My mind is foggy, and it may not be up to standard. Please be understanding.
