Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Bai Bing’s Archenemy
Bai Bing, who was just about to make a call, silently put her phone back in her bag.
She had always thought that Lin Xi was merely a person skilled in medicine and had some other skills, but never expected him to be so good at fighting.
This actually made her more curious about Lin Xi.
Seeing the pathetic state of the fat woman, Lin Xi couldn’t be bothered to argue with her and waved her off to leave quickly.
The fat woman, as if receiving a pardon, didn’t care about the bodyguards lying on the ground, lifted her skirt, and hurriedly left. The four big men on the ground, seeing their owner leave, promptly picked up the bags on the ground and followed.
"Is it done?" Lin Xi asked Xiaozhu, who was standing to the side in a daze.
"Hold on, almost."
Xiaozhu was startled, and now looked at Lin Xi with less casualness than before.
In the distance, Xiaozhu’s colleagues were standing with their mouths wide open, enough to fit a duck egg, and then whispered to each other,
"I bet this guy is just a pretty boy."
"Not necessarily, maybe he’s a bodyguard?"
"Bodyguards don’t look like him, he should still be a pretty boy."
"No no no, I’m sure he’s neither a bodyguard nor a pretty boy, didn’t you see that beauty’s attitude towards him?"
"Then what is he?"
,,,,,
"Ahem!"
The middle-aged woman at the cashier coughed twice, and a group of clerks immediately dispersed, pretending to be busy with their own tasks, but their eyes still sneakily glanced at Lin Xi’s direction.
"Sir, given that your purchase today exceeds 150,000, we have applied for a complimentary gold card for you. In the future, you can enjoy a 10% discount at any Armani brick-and-mortar store."
The middle-aged woman walked to Lin Xi’s side and said to him.
"Alright." Lin Xi accepted the card.
His thinking was quite simple: having it is better than not having it.
As for whether he would shop at this store again, that depended on the opportunity, but for now, he wouldn’t be returning.
Because if he had to buy it himself, he really couldn’t afford it.
At this moment, Xiaozhu also finished packing, splitting the eight bags into two parts and taping them together with duct tape.
Lin Xi took one in each hand and left the store with Bai Bing.
After Lin Xi and Bai Bing left, the sweet-faced girl who had been around from the beginning ran up to the middle-aged woman and gossiped, "Manager, why did you give that guy the gold card?"
Because they all saw that when Lin Xi walked in, he was dressed shabbily, and in the end, it was Bai Bing who paid the bill.
By this conclusion, even if the card was given to Lin Xi, he probably wouldn’t be able to afford it in the future, which would be a waste of the limited gold card balance.
At this time, there were no other customers in the store, and all the clerks plus Xiaozhu gathered around, curious about the manager’s actions.
"Didn’t you all notice? As soon as that woman came in, except for a glance at those men’s suits for the guy, she didn’t look at any of the latest women’s fashion at all. In this situation, there are only two explanations: first, she can’t afford it, second, she looks down on it." The middle-aged woman was quite pleased with the staff’s reactions and continued,
"And in the end, you all saw that she is definitely not someone who cares about money."
"Could it be that there was nothing she liked?" the sweet-faced girl asked curiously.
The middle-aged woman shook her head, smiling without saying anything.
"Then why?"
"Could it be that she lacks nothing? Don’t all women love beauty?"
"That’s impossible, our store has the trendiest items."
"Could it be that she completely forgot about herself and her heart is totally on that guy?"
,,,,,,
Seeing the staff’s increasingly outrageous guesses, the middle-aged woman finally explained, "I’m sure you all noticed what she was wearing, but couldn’t tell what brand it was, right?"
"Yes, yes, but what does that have to do with anything?" one of the clerks asked in confusion.
"It matters a lot. I can tell you that what she bought from us today, those eight sets, likely don’t match up to the value of that one piece," the middle-aged woman said.
"How is that possible?"
"Even the most expensive items in our store aren’t priced like that."
"Looking at the material and cut, is it custom-made by someone? And this person must be a master level, otherwise, it wouldn’t look so good and be so costly." Xiaozhu, standing on the outermost edge, suddenly said. She studied fashion and design in college and has some expertise in this area.
"Yes, Xiaozhu, you’re right!" The middle-aged woman nodded unexpectedly, surprised that this seemingly ordinary girl actually had such an eye for detail.
On the other side, Lin Xi and Bai Bing walked out of the store and headed straight to the parking garage.
After finding the car, as Bai Bing drove towards the garage exit, a fiery red Lamborghini suddenly shot out from the side, stopping directly in front of them.
Bai Bing slammed on the brakes, stopping just a few centimeters from the car in front, her face turning slightly pale with fright.
If she wasn’t skilled, a regular person would have crashed into it already.
Bai Bing removed her seatbelt and got out of the car with a cold expression. She wanted to see which idiot was being so reckless!
Lin Xi also got out just in case.
Judging by his experience, this wasn’t an accident. The red Lamborghini was obviously intentional.
At this moment, the opposite car’s door was pushed open, and out came a woman.
When she fully emerged from the car, even Lin Xi couldn’t help but be stunned.
A perfect woman!
"It’s you, Shangguan Nichang!" Bai Bing’s face changed slightly, gritting her teeth as she said each word, clearly indicating the two knew each other.
"What, you’ve forgotten me?" Shangguan Nichang looked Bai Bing up and down, puzzled, "Dressing so fashionably yet carelessly, that’s not like you!"
"None of your business, move out of my way!" Bai Bing said coldly.
The two were college classmates, from the same class and both campus belles. With their extremely incompatible personalities, they often clashed.
"Whoa, have you seen the light? Out here flaunting a man!" Shangguan Nichang glanced at Lin Xi and continued, "Playing cosplay, huh? Quite a heavy taste!"
Because at this moment, Lin Xi was still in his previous shabby outfit.
"Watch your mouth, I’m not as casual as you, changing men every other day!" Bai Bing warned expressionlessly, clearly not wanting to entangle with Shangguan Nichang.
Shangguan Nichang, both in college and now in Chuzhou City’s upper society, was known to others as a woman with a very rich dating history.
Because to date, she had dated no fewer than a hundred boyfriends, each lasting no longer than three months, and she was always the one to end it.
"So you’re not casual, means you’re serious then." Shangguan Nichang suddenly became curious, directly walking up to Lin Xi, their faces almost touching, almost feeling each other’s heartbeats.
"Vixen!" Lin Xi stared at her unflinchingly, but cursed inwardly.
"Hey there, handsome, what’s your name?" Shangguan Nichang took it a step further, actually wrapping an arm around Lin Xi’s.
