Chapter 14
With a ding, the elevator opened.
Su Qin was familiar with the way, and brought Chu Mingqian to the restaurant that had just been reserved 2 minutes ago.
When she came out of the company, she was still wearing a formal dress, and there was no pressure to go in and out of such a restaurant, but Chu Mingqian looked down at his clothes, and couldn't help but stop: "..."
Such a high-end restaurant has a dress code, and the school uniform he is wearing doesn't look like he can go in.
Su Qin took two steps, as if realizing that he was not following, he turned his head, stood under the light and waved to him: "Come on."
Chu Mingqian took another two steps forward, the waiter standing behind the visitor registration desk smiled and did not intend to stop him, so he followed.
The manager of the restaurant just received a call from Su Qin and left them a table in the back, with walls on both sides and lush green plants in front, which is both romantic and private.
As soon as Chu Mingqian and Su Qin were seated, the restaurant manager opened a glass of red wine for them, and then came over to recommend the menu in person: "Our Boston lobster today is not bad."
"Yeah." Su Qin flipped through the menu, "Then order two, and then two filet mignon steaks, I want medium rare."
After finishing speaking, she looked at Chu Mingqian.
Chu Mingqian: "I want eight points."
The restaurant manager's smile seemed to froze for a moment: "..."
"Okay." Su Qin directly stuffed the menu back to the restaurant manager standing next to him, and said, "Give the kid another drink, non-alcoholic, and he has to go back to do his homework at night."
Chu Mingqian: "..."
The restaurant manager recovered in an instant, put away the menu she had pushed over, said, "Understood," then turned and left.
There was soft music floating in the air, and all around were whispers. Chu Mingqian saw Su Qin who was sitting opposite opened the folded napkin, and said to himself: "The third floor is a restaurant. From now on, let’s go to the fourth and fifth floors, where clothes are sold.”
She said, raised her head to look at Chu Mingqian, and asked, "Does Master Chu have any favorite brand? Gucci? Prada?"
Chu Mingqian: "...No."
He thought to himself, he doesn't know how these brands of clothes are, but when it comes to bag design, the best-selling bag from Li Shaochen's factory is the bag with el elements, followed by Gucci, and the other big names have no names.
After waiting for a while, Su Qin saw that the screen of his mobile phone lit up, so he picked up the mobile phone, saw that it was a message from Li Chengjun, and asked her if she had received it.
Su Qin immediately went back and said that he was taking the children to dinner, and then he was going to go shopping.
After a few seconds, her mobile phone rang again, and Li Chengjun's message was sent again, this time only a few words: [Take him home after buying. 】
Su Qin stared at these words, and felt that the old house was terribly on fire, and really wanted to suggest that the boss come over and take people to eat and shop in person, and then send him home.
At this time, the food they ordered had already been served, and the restaurant manager thoughtfully prepared freshly squeezed juice for Chu Mingqian.
The juice is packed in a bottle, and it is a beautiful green color. It tastes like a compound of several fruits, slightly sweet and sour.
Chu Mingqian has been feeling tired of eating for the past few days, but after drinking this juice, he feels much more comfortable, so he poured another glass.
Su Qin looked at him and smiled slightly: "You like the juice here so much? Let's pack two more bottles when we go back."
Chu Mingqian wanted to say no, but almost choked, and Su Qin had already confessed to the waiter who was serving food.
The waiter nodded, wrote down her request, asked them to take it easy, and left the table.
Su Qin really has a resolute personality. Seeing Chu Mingqian sitting opposite him looking so reserved, she said, "Don't be polite to me. Today is the boss's card."
Chu Mingqian thought, the problem is because Li Chengjun's card was swiped.
Originally, the two of them seemed to have separated each other, but now they seemed to be getting entangled again to some extent.
But after thinking about Li Shaochen's birthday banquet, the two of them should not have any intersections. Since I pretended to be stupid in front of him and refused to admit what happened that day, I should pretend to the end.
With Li Chengjun's pride, he won't hold on to this matter forever.
Thinking of this, the boy relaxed and nodded to Su Qin.
After dinner, the two went to the fourth floor.All the first-line luxury brands are stationed in this shopping mall. Even in the peak period, there are not many people shopping here.
Su Qin took him to the luxury store where Chu Mingqian would never enter, and directly showed Li Chengjun's card to the clerk.
The next moment, they were welcomed in, and the clerk at the door directly pulled the seal to seal the entrance.
There were only two customers left in the store, Chu Mingqian and Su Qin.
"This one, this one, and that one." Su Qin picked out a few shirts and T-shirts with ease, then turned around to check the boy's waistline, and then asked the waiter to bring some jeans for Chu Mingqian to change, "Go Bar."
Ever since Chu Mingqian came in, he felt that he was a command and an action. He was led in to change clothes, and Su Qin sat outside while flipping through magazines and waiting.
Although it was a birthday party, young boys like him would do well to wear casual clothes, jeans and a T-shirt. In this weather, a casual suit jacket would do.
After waiting for a while, Chu Mingqian came out wearing one of them. Su Qin nodded with satisfaction, and asked him to go in and try on the other ones.
After trying everything, let him come over and put on the shoes that the clerk just matched.
"How is it?" Su Qin stood beside him and asked, "Do you like it?"
"It's pretty good." Wearing this outfit, Chu Mingqian looked at himself in the mirror, feeling no different from usual.
But obviously this is what Su Qin wanted, she raised the card in her hand smartly: "Pay the bill."
After paying the bill, she let him wear the clothes on his body directly, and led him into another store.
The heating in the shopping mall was fully turned on, even though he was wearing short sleeves, Chu Mingqian didn't feel cold.
Su Qin led him to Li Chengjun's favorite suit shop. You can wear casual clothes inside, but the coat must be according to the boss's wishes.
It is still the standard process, show the card, and then close the store, and the two of them will choose here in the whole store.
Chu Mingqian didn't even need to go into the fitting room, so he didn't have the time to look carefully at the price tag of the clothes, since he couldn't afford any of them anyway.
He directly put on the two coats that Su Qin picked, and sure enough, the feeling was different from his wearing a T-shirt.
Chu Mingqian turned around, and Su Qin stepped forward to straighten his jacket for him. He was very satisfied with the neat shoulder and waistline of this suit jacket: "Okay, pay the bill."
"Okay?" Chu Mingqian looked at her swiping the card to pay the bill. He thought it was over, but Su Qin said, "It's almost there. Let's go to the next store."
Next, they visited four or five stores and bought him accessories such as watches and necklaces to ensure that Chu Mingqian had enough details on his body when he was wearing such a suit.
"Don't think it shouldn't be, these are all necessary." Su Qin told him while swiping his card, trying to convince Chu Mingqian that none of these things were superfluous.
Although he swiped his card a few times and spent hundreds of thousands in an instant, Li Chengjun's secondary card has no upper limit, even if he swipes the entire shopping mall, it will be fine.
"The consumption we made today has a passing line in the boss's heart. If it is not achieved, it is obviously my dereliction of duty."
Chu Mingqian originally wanted to say something, but when he heard this, he could only say: "Okay."
He looked down at the shopping bag in his hand, thinking about whether every piece of clothing and accessories here was in the bag properly.
The clothes to be worn tomorrow will be worn when they are worn, but as for the other items, as long as they have not been older than seven days, maybe he can come back and send them back.
Because of this plan, when the clerk wanted to cut the hang tags for the clothes, Chu Mingqian stopped them: "No need, I will cut this myself when I go back."
The clerk complied with his wishes, and Su Qin stood beside him, guessing what he was going to do right away.
But she felt that the young man probably didn't have this chance. If he was with the boss tomorrow night, he might tear him apart as soon as he got started.
When men give gifts, they give their lovers accessories in the hope that they can wear them on their bodies and leave their own marks in this way; when they give clothes, they hope that they will put them on and then take them off with their own hands.
Su Qin is very clear about this kind of psychology.
Carrying big and small bags, they came to the last stop of shopping to buy Li Shaochen a birthday present.
Compared with the previous intentions of taking Chu Mingqian to the mall, Su Qin didn't even shop around this time, and went directly to a store.
Compared with the previous stores they went to, this store in the corner is not as gorgeous as the front one. There are shoes and bags on these shelves, all of which are separated by glass.
An old man of a certain age was sitting behind the counter. Su Qin walked over, took out a receipt from his bag and handed it to him.
The person who had been concentrating on reading the newspaper raised his head, reached out and took the receipt she had put down, squinted his eyes under the light, and discerned the sign on it, then said "wait a moment" to Su Qin, then turned and entered behind the shop.
Chu Mingqian looked at his back and asked, "What do we want to buy?"
Su Qin said: "Buy something that the young master will definitely like."
She was so determined, Chu Mingqian could only stand here and wait with her, until the old man came out with a box inside, then put the box on the counter, and opened the lid of the box in front of them .
I saw a pair of very old-fashioned sneakers inside, and Chu Mingqian recognized the logo on it—is this AJ?
At school, many of his classmates who played basketball with him liked to buy AJ’s shoes, and they would accept a pair when they came out. Although Chu Mingqian had never bought one, he had seen many of them, but none of them looked like the one in front of him. .
Su Qin picked up the shoes to check the size, nodded with satisfaction, then turned on the phone, and showed Chu Mingqian the interface of Moments: "Look at this."
Chu Mingqian saw that this was Li Shaochen’s circle of friends. The above two pictures, one is his own collection of AJ shoes, and the other is a family portrait of the AJ series launched since 1984.
As soon as this family portrait is opened, a breath of RMB rushes towards us.
Chu Mingqian listened to Su Qin and said: "The young master likes to collect the AJ series. He basically has the entire series, except for a pair of AJ2 generations. It is also the only pair of sneakers in the entire series that does not have a black color scheme."
Without this pair, his collection of this series would be incomplete, but even if he had money, he might not be able to buy such an ancient series. Li Shaochen was very sorry and wished he could have been born more than ten years earlier.
Even Su Qin could see him wailing in Moments, of course it was impossible for Li Chengjun not to see him.
Now that he saw it, he asked his special assistant to collect this series for his younger brother through various channels.
Su Qin followed the boss's wishes, and it took him almost a year to find the pair of shoes. Today he just came here to get them, so that Chu Mingqian could borrow flowers to offer Buddha.
Su Qin took the card and said to the boss, "Let's settle the final payment."
"Wait a minute, Assistant Su." Chu Mingqian quickly took out his card, "Since it's a gift for Li Shaochen, let me pay the balance."
No matter how ignorant he is of the market, he also knows that such a pair of shoes must have been sold at sky-high prices by AJ fans. Giving it to Li Shaochen as a birthday present is a great way to save face.
The boss stopped stretching out his hand, Su Qin thought about it, and said to the boss: "Okay, just swipe his card."
Anyway, they have already spent the money to find this pair of shoes in the early stage, and the rest of the balance is the money for a normal pair of limited editions.
"Shenghui five thousand."
The boss swiped the card, the voice fell, and Chu Mingqian received the deduction information on his mobile phone.
The 5000 yuan was far from his budget.
The boss put another shopping bag on the outside of the shoe box, Chu Mingqian brought the bag over, Su Qin looked at him, and suddenly said: "It is said that it is new from head to toe, why don't you go for a haircut?"
……
When all the projects were finally over, it was almost ten o'clock.
The two of them carried their shopping bags and got out of the parking lot together.
The shampoo used in the hair salon has a particularly strong fragrance, especially if the hair is blown dry, the fragrance will be more intense.
As soon as he got in the car, Chu Mingqian sneezed, which made Su Qin burst out laughing: "Is it too fragrant?"
She was quite used to this scent, so she sat in the driver's seat and fiddled with her hair, and said to Chu Mingqian, "You just got my card for a haircut, so it has nothing to do with the boss. Alright, I'll take you back. "
Chu Mingqian had to start the live broadcast on time when he went back at night, and Su Qin couldn't delay him.
At this point in time, there was no traffic jam on the road, and the road was smooth, and we soon arrived at Chu Mingqian's house.
Su Qin watched him get off from his car, stood in front of the car window with those bags and said "thank you" to himself.
Su Qin waved to him, sat in the car and watched him go upstairs, then called Li Chengjun and reported to him to complete the task.
Looking forward, looking forward to, the day of the birthday banquet finally arrived.
As soon as night fell, Li Shaochen, who had already showered, had his hair done, and even trimmed his eyebrows, stood at the door of the mansion with unconcealed excitement, ready to welcome tonight's guests in person.
Although the invitation he sent stated that the banquet would start at eight o'clock, half an hour earlier was the default rule, and the sound of a car engine could be heard outside the mansion soon.
Li Shaochen's eyes lit up: here we come!
The iron gate of the Li family's main house slowly opened to both sides, and several cool sports cars drove in from outside and parked in their parking lot.
As soon as the car door opened, the rich second-generation sons who had received the invitation all got out of the car with their female companions, and were led by the waiter to the gate.
"Shouxing Gong!!!" Seeing Li Shaochen standing on the steps, they all opened their arms exaggeratedly and hugged him, "I wish you a happy life every year, and a happy future every year—"
Several people huddled together, frolicking out of shape.
After they separated, they looked at Li Shaochen's outfit again, patted his chest and praised him: "Look, how energetic our birthday man is today!"
This is not a lie, Li Shaochen's custom-made Tang suit is a very authentic bright red, with a dragon pattern embroidered with golden silk thread on it, wearing it on him, it makes his face glow even more red.
Li Shaochen pushed them away with a smile: "Hahahahaha, I just like to listen to you talk, my lord."
Several people noticed that the sleeves of his clothes seemed a little short, but upon closer inspection, they were rolled up.
Logically speaking, the sleeves of custom-made clothes should be just the right length, but for some reason, Li Shaochen rolled up a section on purpose.
A few people followed his words and continued to praise him for being taller and more handsome recently. The 20th birthday celebration was more grand than their old man's [-]th birthday. Finally, they saw the bracelet that Li Shaochen wanted to show off.
"This is..." One of them stepped forward, held Li Shaochen's hand, held the blue turquoise bracelet in front of him, looked at him, and then looked at Li Shaochen in shock with his triumphant expression, "Young Master Chen, is this your grandfather's bracelet?"
This string of blue turquoise bracelets is said to have been given by Li Shaochen's grandfather when he met the Living Buddha in Tibet.Mountain coral is used for the beads on the bracelet, and a Tibetan silver vajra is used for the Buddha's head. Mr. Li believes in Tantric Buddhism and never leaves his body.
"That's right!" Li Shaochen said happily, "Now it's mine!"
On his [-]th birthday, in order to let him have fun, grandpa, dad and the others all went on a trip, but they didn't forget to give him a birthday present.
Grandpa gave him a bracelet that he never left. It was very meaningful, and Li Shaochen put it on right away.If you don't look at his face now, but just look at this outfit, the overall age will immediately go to fifty.
Dad was also very generous and gave him a small island directly, and now Li Shaochen is also a member of the island.He has already made up his mind, next time he will directly invite Louis to his own island for vacation!
The gifts from grandpa and father made Li Shaochen feel that he was valued extraordinarily, and his brother also put on the Tang suit he specially ordered with dignity.
Just a few days ago, he thought he was going to celebrate his 20th birthday with Louis on the island. How could he have thought that his elder brother not only held this birthday banquet for him, but was also willing to come to celebrate his birthday with him?It's just that he's still upstairs.
Li Shaochen thought about it, and it was still early anyway, so he said to these friends: "You go in first, be more casual, treat yourself like your own home."
"Of course." These people exchanged glances and laughed.
One of them bumped Li Shaochen's chest with his elbow, and said, "I'm with you, happy birthday!"
As they said that, their female companions also came over, each holding a wrapped gift in their hands, and gave them to Li Shaochen one by one with sweet smiles: "Young Master Chen."
"Happy Birthday Chen Shao."
"Accept it." Li Shaochen waved casually to the bodyguards beside him, and the two bodyguards standing beside him took over and took all these gifts, and piled them aside.
After these couples went in first, another group of people came, Li Shaochen rubbed his hands after receiving them, looked at the pile of presents, and said to his two bodyguards: "Open the presents, I want to see what they give. "
……
When Chu Mingqian came, the birthday party was about to start.
The gifts placed behind Li Shaochen piled up from the floor to the roof, and he was tired from standing, so he asked someone to set up a table in front of the door with two chairs beside it.
He sat on the chair with his legs crossed, besides the refreshments, he also had a stack of red envelopes.
He remembered a new way to play, but anyone who came to his birthday banquet, as long as they were older than him, he would ask them for red envelopes, and if they came younger than him, he would give them red envelopes.
Receiving and sending pies seems to be the [-]th birthday pie.
Li Shaochen shook his legs, saw Chu Mingqian coming, and stood up all of a sudden: "Aqian——you're here!"
Chu Mingqian: "???"
He watched from a distance a man standing at the door of the house dressed like a red envelope, because of the sense of age, he didn't recognize that it was Li Shaochen for a while.
When he heard Li Shaochen's voice, he realized that this was today's birthday boy.
"Happy birthday, Shaochen!" Chu Mingqian walked up the steps and gave him the gift in his hand, "I wish you a happy life every year, and a bright future every year!"
"Put away the gift." Li Shaochen signaled the people behind him to take the gift, and hugged Chu Mingqian firmly, then reached out and touched a red envelope from the table for him, "Here is the red envelope, obediently." of."
Chu Mingqian almost laughed, and glanced at the presents piled up to the ceiling behind him, almost all of them had been unpacked.
He held the red envelope, and when he squeezed the thickness, there was quite a lot of money in it.
Li Shaochen let him go, turned around in front of him with great interest, and said, "How is it? Is my outfit today particularly handsome?"
"Yes, you are very handsome." Chu Mingqian said, "You are the most beautiful boy on the whole street."
"Hey." Li Shaochen turned back, with an expression of "I knew you appreciated it", and the bodyguard behind him habitually unwrapped the gift as soon as he received it, and handed it to him: "Master. "
Li Shaochen: "..."
The corners of his eyes twitched, as if he wanted to beat up the bodyguard - he didn't see that the gift giver was still here, so he took it apart so quickly!
It's fine if it's someone else, but this is Chu Mingqian.Considering his financial situation, it is definitely impossible for him to attend his birthday party like these idle rich second generations who buy famous jewelry and watches as soon as they make a move.
In such a comparison, wouldn't it hurt Chu Mingqian's self-esteem?
The little boss was going to get angry, so the bodyguards couldn't hide. Fortunately, Chu Mingqian quickly reached out to stop Li Shaochen, and comforted him: "It's all demolished, so you might as well take a look first."
"Let's take a look first?" Li Shaochen was stopped by him, seeing his firm attitude, so he calmed down and took the box over.
The bodyguard cast a grateful look at Chu Mingqian.
Li Shaochen unpacked the outer packaging. When Chu Mingqian packed the gift, he chose a box that was bigger than the shoe box. The original shoe box inside was not thrown away, in order to preserve the sense of ceremony for Li Shaochen.
As soon as he opened the gold-red color package, and saw the box inside, Li Shaochen felt familiar.
He raised his eyes and looked at Chu Mingqian: "Is it a shoe?"
Chu Mingqian nodded.
Li Shaochen thought to himself that AJ's limited edition was not cheap for him, and he felt that Chu Mingqian really took himself to heart.
However, almost the person who owns the entire series does not have too much expectation for the shoes in the box, and it is likely that the shoes he already has are placed inside when he opens them.
He originally wanted to stop here, but seeing that Chu Mingqian was still looking at him with implicit expectation, waiting for him to open the shoebox, Li Shaochen obediently continued.
As soon as he opened the box, his eyes widened, and he felt a golden light flashing out of the box.
All of a sudden, everyone near the gate heard Li Shaochen shouting from outside the gate:
"My dream AJ II! I've been looking for it for a long time and they all said it's out of print!! How did you find it?!"
