Chapter 402: Chapter 327 Cloth Shoes (Please Subscribe!)_1
Tang Qing and Pan Yue leisurely sipped tea.
Dou Jiao led the two of them to try on various clothes.
Every time she tried on something she thought looked good, Dou Jiao would pull Lin Jiaxue over to have a look.
Tang Qing repeatedly complimented their choices.
However, due to age and occasion restrictions, there were many clothes that they could not wear, especially more revealing ones. Not to mention whether Lin Jiaxue dared to wear them, Tang Qing would certainly not agree to it, insisting not to satisfy the vain glances of others. Therefore, there were not many suitable outfits, and they had chosen almost all within half an hour.
In the end, Dou Jiao bought Lin Jiaxue clothes totaling nearly twenty thousand yuan, six pieces in total. As for Xi Shan, she only picked one piece, costing one thousand eight hundred yuan. Dou Jiao did not use Tang Qing’s free card. This was a gift from Dou Jiao to Lin Jiaxue. If she used Tang Qing’s card, wouldn’t it become a gift from Tang Qing? Even to make a statement, Dou Jiao didn’t use any discounts and paid the original price directly.
Tang Qing wanted to stop her, but considering it was a gift for their first meeting, he didn’t dissuade her any further. Dou Jiao also became a "local tyrant" now. As the General Manager of Sky Eye, she got a certain bonus for each project invested by Tang Qing. Just from the acquisition of the Dream Melody Group, she received nearly thirty thousand yuan after tax, not to mention having Pan Yue, who is a walking wallet.
Seeing tens of thousands of yuan being spent, Lin Jiaxue couldn’t refuse. She stealthily looked at Tang Qing, reassured only after he gave her a nod. She believed that Tang Qing would not recklessly accept other people’s things.
Although Lin Jiaxue got six items, and Xi Shan only had one, who told Lin Jiaxue to be Tang Qing’s girlfriend? Getting one piece worth one thousand eight hundred was already a big bargain for her.
She was only shocked at the relationship between Dou Jiao and Tang Qing. Over twenty thousand yuan was given generously, which somewhat challenged her worldview.
This is the world of the rich.
Yes.
I want to earn a lot of money in the future too, and buy many beautiful clothes.
Xi Shan pledged to herself.
Of course, Tang Qing and Pan Yue were the ones who ended up carrying all the clothes.
"Let’s go, little sister Jiaxue, I will take you to explore some other places. There are only clothes here, let’s buy something else for our little Jiaxue. Little brother Tang, what’s wrong with you? Why didn’t you buy any nice jewelry for your girlfriend? Come, I will take you to buy some." Dou Jiao criticized Tang Qing. Although the clothes Lin Jiaxue wore were expensive, she didn’t have any accessories to match.
You, as the boss of a few billion-dollar empire, your girlfriend doesn’t even have any jewelry, how could you face yourself?
Facing Dou Jiao’s criticism, Tang Qing blushed and could offer no defense.
"That’s enough, isn’t it? This is already too much."
Lin Jiaxue also knew the principle of not receiving gifts without contribution. Even if it was her elder sister spending money so lavishly, she was still a little shocked. Not to mention Dou Jiao, who was accepted as elder sister by Tang Qing.
"Eh, Jiaxue, you don’t even have your ears pierced! That’s not good, we women will have to attend various occasions in the future, and earrings are an essential accessory. Let’s go, I’ll take you to get them pierced."
Lin Jiaxue was somewhat startled by the suggestion. Piercing ears... that’s going to hurt.
"Not necessary, I... I will do it later. I am still in school and the school doesn’t allow us to wear any."
Dou Jiao stopped insisting upon hearing these words.
"Fine, I’ll take you to get your ears pierced after your National College Entrance Examination. Well, let’s buy a necklace then, to match this outfit." Dou Jiao suggested. She had just tried on a very good outfit. Both Tang Qing and Dou Jiao agreed that going out like this would be very nice, although Lin Jiaxue felt a bit not used to it.
"Sister Jiaojiao, let’s not buy a necklace. Jiaxue’s family owns a jewelry store, so let’s not waste money here." Seeing Lin Jiaxue feeling a bit difficult, Tang Qing quickly tried to save the day.
Dou Jiao didn’t ask any further about their family background.
"Oh, really.. How about some cosmetics then?"
Tang Qing refused this suggestion too.
"No ruining Jiaxue’s skin! It’s so white, naturally good." Tang Qing even made a show of pinching Lin Jiaxue’s face. Her skin was fair and flushed, especially when being "teased" like this by Tang Qing. Lin Jiaxue’s face turned even prettier, not requiring any make-up.
Dou Jiao also earnestly examined Lin Jiaxue’s skin and touched it with admiration.
Lin Jiaxue quickly stepped back two steps.
Then, Dou Jiao also nodded her head with deep agreement.
"Yes, such good skin shouldn’t be ruined by those cosmetics. Let me think,... right, shoes! We didn’t buy shoes yet. There are no shoes on the second floor here." Dou Jiao finally found an opening. The shoes of Sheng Tang were indeed rather mixed, and mostly stock goods. But this was also something Sheng Tang would take care of next, and Tang Qing was even considering launching a separate shoe brand.
"Yes, Jiaxue, let’s go buy some shoes. This time, I am paying. Sister Jiaojiao, you can pick a pair too." Tang Qing said. It’s all about reciprocity!
"Just one pair?" Dou Jiao pouted unhappily.
"Two pairs, two pairs okay? Pan Yue can pick a pair too, no restrictions."
Tang Qing had a pained expression on his face, of course it was all pretense, but it livened up the atmosphere.
Dou Jiao immediately cheered up. Getting to extort another pair was a gain. If it were anyone else, they would definitely be angry. But not local tyrant Tang Qing, who treated money like dirt, he was just joking.
"That’s more like it. Hehe, let’s go, Jiaxue. You need to keep a good eye on your boyfriend. Ah, Little Tang brother is really lucky to have such a good confidante like you in his life. If he bullies you, just tell me, and see how I will teach him a lesson. Where do you live, by the way? From now on, I will take you shopping, and give you a good makeover. Let me tell you, as a woman... "
Dou Jiao’s chatterbox nature was on full display.
She started preaching about all kinds of things.
Lin Jiaxue could only continue to nod her head. As a naturally quiet person, she was not accustomed to someone so talkative around her. But Dou Jiao’s enthusiasm also made her feel warm. Slowly, Lin Jiaxue got used to it.
As for Xi Shan, Dou Jiao did not leave her aside, chatting with her occasionally. However, her attention was obviously on Lin Jiaxue. After all, a younger sister is special.
Tang Qing and Pan Yue ended up carrying all the bags behind them.
Luckily, Pan Yue’s car was parked not far away. So they all went to drop off their numerous bags before continuing on their shopping spree.
They arrived at the brand street in the city center, and Dou Jiao’s group went in and out of various stores. Qingyan City is just a prefecture-level city, and not a very developed one at that. Naturally, there are not many international big brands here. However, it’s not totally devoid of them. After all, being a big city with millions of people, there is a certain level of high-end consumption. Although the numbers are not huge, they are enough to support the business of this street.
Tang Qing and Pan Yue waited at the entrance most of the time. The stores of high-end brands are generally not very large, allowing a birds-eye view of the entire premises.
"How about this pair?"
"Pretty."
"How about this pair?"
"It looks good too."
"Which pair of these two looks better?"
"Um, let’s just take both."
"No way, why would I buy two pairs from the same brand? The total is only over three thousand."
"You can choose whatever you like, I’m paying today."
"No, Yue Yue, which pair is better looking?"
"They’re both good, or listen to Little Tang. Let’s take both."
"No, it seems like we’ll have to flip a coin to solve this."
"...."
And Dou Jiao really did resolve this ’dispute’ by flipping a coin.
What an idiot.
Tang Qing and Pan Yue exchanged a bitter smile.
"Brother Pan, please be more forgiving of sister Jiaojiao’s personality in the future." Tang Qing said with a ’sympathetic’ look on his face.
Pan Yue just gave a light-hearted smile.
"Of course, this is her, we’ve known each other for so many years, I’m not used to her not talking at all."
Right...
One is willing to beat, and the other is willing to be beaten.
This is true love.
At this moment, Dou Jiao’s voice rang again, probably everyone in the nearby shops heard it clearly.
"Tang Tang, your name is really good, easy to remember and nice to hear, I’ll call you that too in the future."
"Whatever."
"Little brother Tang Tang, you should also come and pick a pair."
"Let’s finish choosing your stuff first."
"But this is a men’s shoe store, you two are always outside, how can you choose."
Upon hearing this.
The two looked inside the shop.
It really was a men’s shoe store.
"Okay okay... we’re coming."
The two had no choice but to reluctantly go in and try on shoes.
So the ’I say it’s good, you say it’s not appropriate’ comedy was performed again.
Basically, it was Dou Jiao who was speaking. Lin Jiaxue was standing beside her, but she always spoke for Tang Qing. If Tang Qing said it looked good, she said it looked good, so after a few times, Dou Jiao didn’t bother asking her opinion anymore.
It became a monologue.
In the end, Tang Qing bought two pairs of shoes for everyone, but Xi Shan insisted on only one pair. It was a pair of shoes that cost more than a thousand yuan. Xi Shan originally didn’t plan to accept it, but Lin Jiaxue finally persuaded her to take it.
This also let Xi Shan witness Tang Qing’s financial strength.
Money is not a problem.
Spending more than ten thousand yuan was as relaxed as spending a few extra bucks, she didn’t have any ’fear of accepting favors’, she just hoped that this rich ’second generation’ Tang Qing wouldn’t let Lin Jiaxue down.
Tang Qing himself was also forced to buy a pair, but not leather shoes, instead they were sports shoes. In his opinion, soft shoes feel more comfortable. Leather shoes are something that Tang Qing had worn enough in his previous life when he was doing business.
Leather shoes are not as comfortable as sports shoes at all.
Humph. 𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
I just won’t wear leather shoes.
Of course, this is for general occasions, if I have to meet the President of the United States or the Prime Minister of Japan in the future, I’ll just wear cloth shoes, what can you do to me?
Cough cough.
Enough bluffing.
