Chapter 627 Options and More Options
"I can't really say, I told you so." Mr. B said, with the same smile plastered on his handsome face. He then dialed a number on his phone. "It's me." He said. "Did you get the recording?" He asked. "Alright. Good."
Jun Liang listened as Mr. B talked about paying people to make the article trend for days before he finally ended the call.
"Thank you for your cooperation." Mr. B uttered as he rose from his seat.
"What will happen to Chen Shi now?" Jun Liang asked. As someone who had been a victim of that woman's schemes, he was really interested to know how she would receive her own karma soon.
"Mr. Liang… Miss Chen loves playing games. So we let her play." Mr. B said. "And beat her at her own game." His smile turned devilish as he continued. "Do you know what it feels like to look down on everyone? To think that you are the smartest? To sneer at everyone's stupidity?" He chuckled. "It's heavenly."
"But…" He made a deliberate pause. "Losing to those very people whom you deemed as dumb is excruciating. She underestimated you and her husband. She always thought that she would win. That her plans were perfect. If my guess is right… she might have even started celebrating. Imagine her despair once she loses?"
Without waiting for Jun Liang's answer, Mr. B turned his back on him and walked towards the door.
….
Zhou Capital, Hong Kong.
"So this is called brown sugar milk tea?" she asked as she stared at the cup in her hands.
Secretary Go nodded at Lily's words.
"And….but there is no tea in it?" she confirmed.
"Yes, Madam." For the second time, he nodded. Since Zhou Jingren was still in a meeting, Secretary Go had to buy the milk tea for Lily.
"So… why is it called milk tea if there is no tea in it?" Lily held the creamy liquid in her hand. She glanced at Secretary Go. "Do you know why?"
"No Madam. All I know is that this is a Taiwanese drink that is very popular right now. People call it bubble tea. It has tapioca pearls which the younger generation really loves."
"Oh." Lily nodded. She leaned against the couch and eyed the drink. "Alright. I will try this one." She then gestured for Secretary Go to leave her. "Thank you." In response, Go Jichen bowed and left to attend Zhou Jingren's meeting.
"Yang Mi." Lily uttered as she started drinking the bubble tea. She opened her phone as she sent a text to Zhou Jingren. "Let's go. I will buy something for Jingren." She said.
Today, Lily decided to buy something for her husband. Little things that would remind him of her. Now that Lily thought about it, she hadn't really bought Zhou Jingren anything that could be used every day. Sure, she bought him a watch and that pen, but he seldom used them. The man has a lot of watches and he thought that using it might damage Lily's gift.
In the end, Zhou Jingren only uses it for special events, which were also very rare.
After having these thoughts, Lily had a Eureka moment! She could actually buy him some designer ties. Stores like Gucci and Louis Vuitton sold ties that Zhou Jingren could use every day. Maybe she could even buy cufflinks for her man and force him to use it every day!
This time, Lily went to a mall that only had luxurious and imported brands.
"President, these are the list of all the ties in Gucci, Burberry and Louis Vuitton. Though, we are not sure if this is available in Hong Kong. I am still checking out the ties in other brands." Yang Mi handed the tablet to Lily the moment they entered the room.
To make their shopping more convenient, Lily told her that she wanted to see all the ties that the store offered online. This would give her an idea of the materials and designs used in each tie.
"Alright. I want some bright colors. Pink, blue and red? Also, some classic monotone colors with minor prints. Silk is good too." Lily said as they walked towards Louis Vuitton. She smiled as she eyed the various branded stores around her.
In response, Yang Mi nodded. To be honest, she had never seen Zhou Jingren wear pink ties. He always preferred dark colors like blue or black and not bright ones, like red and pink. However, knowing President Zhou, he would never hesitate to wear anything that Lily would ask him to wear.
The duo entered Louis Vuitton while their bodyguards stayed at the door. After all, walking around inside the store with two tall men following you around could easily attract the attention of people.
"I want this and this. The pink one too, and red. Alright… two red and as for the rest, one each." Lily didn't have to examine the quality of each tie as she knew that Louis Vuitton would not disappoint her. Moreover, she could not really spend a lot of time walking and standing. She needed to shop in the shortest time possible.
Lily started pointing ties with distinct colors and immediately asked the attendant to wrap them for her. She wanted to surprise him alright? Lily wanted to buy him a hundred ties! And she wanted to have them wrapped up in a big black box.
She laughed inwardly. Maybe being too bored was not really good for her. After Louis Vuitton, Lily went to other stores such as Burberry and Chanel to check out their ties. After all, Zhou Jingren could not wear ties from one brand. The purpose of this shopping was to give him options.
Options…
Options…
And more options…
Lily smiled inwardly. She could not help but wonder about her husband's face once he discovered that she bought him a hundred ties. She covered her mouth, unable to stop the giggle that had been bubbling inside her for a while now.
"I keep on staring at this tie. While wondering why you are so happy staring at it."
Lily turned towards the man who stood next to her. Gannon Liu. The man who made Madam He borderline crazy. She turned towards the tie in her hands and ignored him.
Men like him… deserved to just burn in hell.
