Lan Xing Mall.
This was a relatively famous mall in Lan Hai City; ordinary people generally wouldn't come here to shop or browse.
Because they couldn't afford it.
This mall was specifically targeted at high-end consumers.
Two youths, dressed impeccably, were chatting while looking around, searching for a potential target.
"Young Master Xu, look at that girl, she's so stunning!" one of the youths said, pointing at a woman browsing in a shop, his eyes bright and excited.
"Hmm?" The youth referred to as 'Young Master Xu' followed his companion's gaze. Upon seeing the woman, his eyes suddenly lit up, "So pure, such a beautiful woman! I, Xu Wa, have dated several so-called campus beauties, but compared to her, they're like chewing wax, bland and tasteless!"
"Campus beauties are also tiered. In schools where the general quality of female students is lower, a T3 level is considered a campus beauty. In schools with better quality, the tier is a bit higher, a T2 level. But this girl, she's definitely T1 level, not even just at the threshold of T1, but top-tier T1! In a place like Lan Hai University, which is full of beauties, this girl would probably be on the campus beauty rankings! Most importantly, she's this beautiful without any makeup. Pure, beautiful, with a stunning appearance! Young Master Xu, to speak frankly, this girl is more beautiful than all your girlfriends combined!"
"That's no exaggeration. This girl, I, Xu Wa, have set my sights on her." Xu Wa licked his lips. "Wang Jin, don't forget to play your support role later. If I can win her over, I'll give you a hundred thousand yuan as a reward!"
"Thank you, Young Master Xu!" The sycophantic Wang Jin said repeatedly, "I guarantee I won't disappoint you!"
He had played this kind of supporting role many times before, but the rewards were usually no more than ten to twenty thousand yuan, or as little as three to five thousand.
This time, a reward of one hundred thousand yuan was more generous than all his previous supporting roles combined, so he naturally became energized.
Why didn't he have any ambitions himself? Because he knew his 'financial capacity' was limited; he couldn't afford to keep such an exquisitely beautiful, fairy-like woman!
This was the standard of a true fairy, not those so-called 'little fairies' used sarcastically!
"Then shall we go over?" Xu Wa, unable to contain his excitement, said, "Just in this short while, I've already seen several men approach her!"
"Young Master Xu, don't be in a hurry. Good food is worth waiting for!" Wang Jin's eyes were sharp. "Those who are trying to approach her, whether in appearance or wealth, cannot compare to you, Young Master Xu! We must know ourselves and our enemy to win a hundred battles!"
Wang Jin, a cultured man, employed the Thirty-Six Stratagems with masterful skill.
"That's true!" Xu Wa nodded. While his looks weren't extraordinarily handsome, he was well-groomed, and his physique was decent. Coupled with his not-quite-striking-but-still-somewhat-handsome appearance, and his wealth – his father was a tycoon with over two billion in assets, and while not in the absolute top tier in Lan Hai City, he was in the second tier. As his father's only son, he was doted on by his parents, and his monthly allowance never fell below a million yuan, though it also never exceeded five million; generally, it was three million without special circumstances.
It might not seem like a particularly large sum, but considering it this way, he had nearly forty million in allowance annually!
Of course, he hadn't received this much before. Now that he had graduated from university and had more expenses, his family had increased his allowance. Before graduation, his monthly expenses were around one to two million.
His allowance for this month had just arrived yesterday, and he hadn't had time to spend it. He wanted to find a new girlfriend, so he came to Lan Xing Mall to try his luck. Perhaps some slender, beautiful single woman was looking to catch a wealthy man? Then he could take her back for some fun? A fleeting relationship for a month or two.
"He's browsed several stores but hasn't bought anything! It seems his heart is willing but his resources are insufficient!" Wang Jin analyzed calmly. "Hmm, he bought a cup of milk tea."
"She looks so beautiful drinking milk tea. Wang Jin, I think I'm in love!" Xu Wa said, his face beaming with a smile as if spring had arrived, looking at the woman sitting on a chair, drinking milk tea and playing on her phone.
"Young Master Xu, you need to calm down!" Wang Jin said helplessly. "If you act like this, how will you win the beauty's heart?"
To be honest, it wasn't surprising that Xu Wa was acting like a lecher. Even he himself had almost become dazed and lost in thought. But why was he able to control his emotions? Because he knew that such a woman was not someone he could aspire to.
If he had Xu Wa's conditions, would he still be playing the supporting role? He would have stepped forward himself!
Because he liked girls like this too!
One glance would make his heart flutter, two glances would make him want to fall in love, and a third glance would make him want to marry her and spend his life with her. She was too perfect!
"How can I calm down? My heart is pounding!" Xu Wa said helplessly.
"Show your domineering CEO aura, otherwise, no matter how rich you are, it's useless!" Wang Jin said sternly. "Just imagine, if you don't act, this girl will be lost to you forever. Can you still do it?"
"For this girl, let alone showing my domineering CEO aura, I could even become a pork seller if I had to!" Xu Wa took a deep breath and said in a low voice. The next moment, his demeanor changed. The domineering CEO aura had arrived!
In fact, he had pursued many girls. Although he had often relied on money to win them over, he had gained some experience. Moreover, being a rich second generation himself, this domineering CEO demeanor was something he was adept at!
"Second-generation rich!" Wang Jin cursed inwardly as he glanced at the transformed Xu Wa. A top-tier beauty was about to be ruined. But what could he do when he was short of money? He would have to endure the envy and jealousy of seeing a prize pig gobbling up a fine cabbage and play his supporting role well!
A hundred thousand yuan for the reward.
...
After parting ways with her brother, Yang Qingqing came here to wander. She looked at a few pieces of clothing, but couldn't afford them; they were too expensive. Even the cheaper ones cost tens of thousands. Most of her money went to her parents, and what little was left, though still over a hundred thousand, would be depleted by just a few very inexpensive items!
Of course, even if she emptied her savings, she wouldn't be short of money. Who wouldn't have a doting, loving, and wealthy brother who was also her boyfriend? If she ran out of money, would her brother let her starve?
However, she was still reluctant to spend her savings; after all, this was money she had earned herself.
At this moment, she was holding a cup of milk tea, sitting on a chair, happily replying to her brother's messages. Her brother had already left the mall's parking lot, and she was telling him her location.
As soon as she finished replying, she got up and headed towards the elevator entrance to meet her dear brother.
Just as she stood up, a handsome young man with an extraordinary aura and impeccable attire, resembling a domineering CEO, walked towards her, accompanied by a young man dressed like an assistant, carrying a briefcase.
"Hello, beautiful. Can you do me a favor?" The handsome, domineering CEO looked at Yang Qingqing, a polite smile on his face.
Why was Xu Wa able to pursue so many women? Besides being young and rich, he was also skilled in his unscholarly pursuits, such as this domineering CEO demeanor, which he handled with considerable finesse.
Indeed, this young man who resembled a domineering CEO was none other than Xu Wa. And the young man dressed as an assistant was, of course, his sycophantic subordinate, Wang Jin.
"I'm sorry, my boyfriend is coming over any minute. Please find someone else to help!" Yang Qingqing said apologetically.
"Boyfriend? You have a boyfriend?" Xu Wa was taken aback. This caught him completely off guard, and he stood there in a daze.
"My boyfriend is here!" Yang Qingqing smiled and then walked past them, hurrying towards Yang Feilong, who was approaching.
As they looked, they saw a handsome man whose demeanor and bearing were both perfect.
