She got off too easy. Zhou Yancheng wanted her to suffer for several more years, to make her wish she were dead.
Dragons are born with the attributes of revenge and slaughter in their genes.
……
Gu Ran drove the latest Porsche Panamera to the Bund.
His car is indeed the latest model this year; it's turbocharged, has unbeatable performance, and gets a lot of attention on the road.
Regardless of age or gender, anyone who sees it will instinctively take a second look, especially its highly distinctive headlights, which everyone who has seen it will say are tasteful.
After parking his car, Gu Ran, dressed in a black sports hoodie, walked into the shopping mall with the most luxury brands, his hands in his pockets.
But after only a couple of steps into the mall, Gu Ran started to regret it.
With so many stores, which one should I visit?
I should have just worn the Kassel College uniform instead of learning how to dress up.
He casually walked into a luxury store. The saleswomen, who had been chatting, looked up at him, hesitated for a moment, but did not come over.
It turned out that she saw Gu Ran dressed in a sports hoodie and sneakers, a very common student outfit, and assumed he was just there to browse or do market research.
So I don't want to talk to him at all.
Gu Ran didn't really care. He felt comfortable shopping freely without any sales assistants following him.
After browsing through two or three stores, Gu Ran still had no inspiration and didn't know what clothes to buy. In the end, she walked around again and came to the luxury store she had just entered.
It was noon, and there weren't many customers in the mall. Two girls were huddled together, giggling as they looked at their MP4 players.
Gu Ran glanced at it curiously and found it was the Korean variety show "Running Man".
Speaking of which, this year marks the first year of "Running Man". Back then, a group of people would do tasks and play name tag ripping games in the mall after get off work, which was a very novel reality show at the time.
One of the girls exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, look how handsome Song Zhongji is! He's probably the most handsome among all the members!"
Another girl with short hair said, "Isn't that obvious? Look at the grasshopper, the impala, the dog, the giraffe, they're all incredibly ugly. Compared to them, Song Zhongji looks so handsome!"
Upon hearing Song Zhongji's name, Gu Ran was immediately inspired.
Song Jung-gi became famous worldwide not because of "Running Man", but because of "Descendants of the Sun"!
The two female sales assistants noticed Gu Ran at this moment and put away their MP4s somewhat embarrassedly. The one with short hair had already seen Gu Ran once before, and when she saw him turn around and walk over again, she thought he was going to chat her up.
She looked him over a few more times and found that he was quite good-looking, but these days, being handsome doesn't put food on the table.
So she still ignored Gu Ran and turned to do something else.
The younger girl who remained was less snobbish and said to Gu Ran, "Hello sir, are you just browsing? Is there anything you'd like to buy?"
Gu Ran said, "I want to buy a casual suit. Can you take me to see one?"
"Okay, this way please."
The young girl led the way to the men's suit section. Gu Ran immediately took a liking to a black casual suit. It looked less formal but still exuded a sense of composure.
"Let me try that set." Gu Ran pointed over there.
The girl hesitated for a moment before nodding and agreeing. After finding out Gu Ran's size, she went to get him a set.
At this moment, the short-haired female sales assistant appeared and stopped him: "Are you really going to change it for him? It would be troublesome if you damaged it. Look at his clothes, he doesn't look like a rich person at all. This suit costs 388,000 yuan, while his clothes are less than 1,000 yuan. Only his shoes are a bit expensive!"
"But if the guests have requests, we still need to do our best to serve them." The young girl had only been here for a short time and was not very old. For her, work was just work, and there was no need to differentiate between guests.
The short-haired sales assistant was about to say something to her, but the young girl had already given the clothes to Gu Ran.
Gu Ran went into the changing room and started changing.
The young woman was also worried that Gu Ran might damage it, so she added somewhat shyly, "Sir... please be careful, this suit is made of cashmere, and it's priced at over 380,000 yuan, it's quite expensive..."
"Okay," Gu Ran replied calmly.
A short while later, he came out of the fitting room, all dressed and ready. The girl, who was worried that he would ruin the clothes, was stunned when she saw him.
The short-haired saleswoman not far away was also taken aback when she saw Gu Ran.
So handsome!
Gu Ran was already handsome with a slender and well-proportioned figure. This casual suit perfectly highlighted his temperament, making him look dashing and debonair.
"You...you're so handsome!" the little girl exclaimed, somewhat infatuated. "Even more handsome than Song Zhongji!"
Gu Ran smiled gently: "Really?"
He looked at himself in the mirror and it was indeed quite good.
I'm pretty handsome, I should be able to attract Su Xiaoqiang!
I'm really curious to see what her expression will be when she sees herself dressed like this.
A short-haired saleswoman nearby couldn't help but swallow hard, thinking that even if such a handsome guy was a bit poor, having a passionate romance with him wouldn't be bad...
Gu Ran turned around in front of the mirror, occasionally touching her sleeves. The cashmere material was very soft and comfortable to wear.
Cashmere is a layer of fine, soft down at the base of a goat's long hair. It is mainly produced by cashmere goats and is harvested by combing rather than shearing. Each goat produces less than 200 grams of raw cashmere per year, and after combing, even less fiber is available, only about 100 grams.
Therefore, cashmere is very rare, and suits made of high-quality cashmere are very expensive.
Having spent over a year at Kassel College, Gu Ran had some knowledge of good things and immediately thought it was quite nice, so she decided: "This is it. Cut off the tag for me, I want to wear it."
"Ah? Oh, okay, okay!" The little girl was both surprised and delighted, not expecting that Gu Ran would actually buy it.
And he really has the money to buy it!
For a suit worth 380,000 yuan, her commission must be substantial!
The short-haired saleswoman not far away was also a little stunned; this handsome young man actually had money!
She didn't expect that she had misjudged him.
"Add a lining and a belt."
Gu Ran chose a brown undershirt and a black belt, and paid for them together, totaling about 400,000 yuan.
He handed the girl his American Express black card from Kassel College. When she saw that it was a black credit card, she became even more certain that Gu Ran had money.
The young woman was very nervous; she had been working there for two months and hadn't closed such a big deal yet. She said excitedly:
"I, I'll go settle the bill for you right away. Please, please sit down for a while and have something to drink. Oh, I forgot to pour you a drink. Would you like tea, coffee, or juice? I, I, I..."
"I don't need anything to drink, you can pay the bill for me," Gu Ran said nonchalantly.
"Let me serve this gentleman, you go and pay the bill." The short-haired saleswoman walked over and fawned over Gu Ran.
She missed out on a commission today, but it was a minor matter. She hoped that this visit would win Gu Ran's favor!
"Oh, thank you, Sister Zhao!" The girl immediately went to the cashier to help Gu Ran pay the bill.
"Wait, I think I have a membership card for this store." Gu Ran took out Su Xiaoqiang's cardholder, which contained quite a few cards, so he gave the entire cardholder to the girl. "Could you help me see which one it is?"
"Oh, okay, okay!" The girl glanced at him and realized that he was a regular customer of luxury goods. She picked out the store's membership card and hurriedly went to pay.
Even the short-haired Ms. Zhao was stunned.
Luxury brand memberships require annual spending to obtain, with even the most basic membership costing at least several hundred thousand.
Ms. Zhao is 26 years old this year and has been a sales assistant here for three years. She has seen a lot of people, but this is the first time she has misjudged someone.
She then realized that Gu Ran looked very young, only in his early twenties, perhaps a rich second-generation who didn't know how to dress well.
"Sir, would you like to take a look at our shoes? I think they would look great with your suit."
Sister Zhao held up a pair of leather shoes and tried to sell them to Gu Ran. At the same time, she slightly hunched her shoulders. Some of the buttons on her uniform shirt had been undone, revealing a fairly deep cleavage and a tempting patch of white skin.
People who work in luxury boutiques are all quite attractive, and Ms. Zhao is very confident in her looks.
"Need not."
Gu Ran's attention wasn't on her at all. Even if he did notice her... he would just glance at her twice. Why not take a look?
But she is far inferior to Su Xiaoqiang, and even worse than Chen Wenwen. At best, she is only at the level of Wang Meimei.
Abbreviation: slut.
"Are these shoes too old-fashioned? We have some more youthful styles over here." Sister Zhao continued walking up to Gu Ran, maintaining a professional smile, and naturally took Gu Ran's arm.
Gu Ran gently pushed her hand away and said, "I don't plan to wear leather shoes with my suit."
When it comes to suits, of course you have to pair them with dirty sneakers. That's the coolest combination. Song Zhongji became famous for wearing them that way and even made dirty sneakers popular. When "Descendants of the Sun" was airing, all the shoe factories in Putian were copying those dirty sneakers.
However, there were no specialty stores for dirty sneakers in China at that time, so Gu Ran planned to buy a pair of white sneakers to make do. Only handsome people could pull off the combination of a suit and sneakers.
Chapter 349 Sorry, I have mysophobia
"Sir, please sign here! And here are the points you've earned at our store." The young girl came over with a pen and receipt, looking quite adorable.
She was overjoyed! This order was worth over 400,000 yuan, and she would get a huge commission!
Gu Ran signed the order, put away the receipt, credit card, and membership card, and then went to the changing room to change the lining, preparing to go to another store to pick out another pair of sneakers.
"Take care, sir, and welcome back again!" The young woman happily saw Gu Ran off. This customer was really handsome and generous, and his personality was also very straightforward. If she had a customer like this every day who would come to her to place an order, she would soon be able to save enough money to go back to her hometown and buy a house!
Gu Ran had barely stepped out of the store when the short-haired Ms. Zhao approached him and handed him a business card: "Little brother, come visit me sometime."
She winked at Gu Ran, then tiptoed and whispered in his ear, "Want to be my sugar daddy? Fifty thousand a month is fine. This is the first time I've ever asked to be your sugar daddy..."
Sister Zhao spoke in a coquettish tone, and the collar of her shirt was almost undone down to her stomach.
She is quite confident in herself. She has a delicate oval face, is 1.65 meters tall, and has a good figure.
A young boy like that probably really likes an older girl her age. Even if they can't be girlfriends, they can still develop some other kind of relationship.
After all, he's so handsome and rich; he must come from a powerful family. If she could get him pregnant and marry him because of the pregnancy, even if she couldn't become his wife, she could still get a considerable amount of living expenses as his mistress every year...
"Sorry, I'm a germaphobe and I don't like things that other people have used." Gu Ran interrupted her thoughts, left a sentence, and went straight away.
Sister Zhao was stunned for a while before she understood what he meant. She immediately became angry and embarrassed, but by the time she was about to lose her temper, Gu Ran had already walked away.
*……*……*
The past few days in Shanghai had been filled with sleet, but today was a rare sunny day. After dinner, Su Xiaoqiang and Liu Miaomiao took a walk on campus to digest their food.
She hadn't called Gu Ran yet, initially because she was afraid he wasn't fully awake and that calling would wake him. He slept so peacefully last night; it must have been the best night's sleep he'd had in a while, so she wanted him to sleep a little longer.
It's almost noon now, so she should be awake by now, right?
