Chapter 250: The Cross-dressing Plan Failed
"Brother Chen, is everything going well for you today?"
"It went smoothly. I rented an office today and will find someone from a decoration company to help with the design tomorrow."
"So fast, where did you rent it?" Guan Juer asked curiously.
Chen An took out his cell phone, played the video he had shot, handed it over, and said, "Take a look at it."
Guan Juer took the phone and looked at it carefully, with a surprised expression on her face. She asked, "Brother Chen, you rent such a large area, the rent is not cheap, right?"
"The rent and property fees add up to more than 600,000 yuan a year." Chen An said casually.
"So many?" Guan Juer was a little surprised.
"It's okay. The rent here is already cheap. If it were in the location of your company, the same area would cost at least four to five times more." Chen An explained patiently.
Guan Juer asked hesitantly, "Brother Chen, when I'm resting, I'll come over to help you?"
"That's not necessary for now, but you can take some time to take some photos of your company's layout and send them to me so I can use it as a reference."
"Okay, no problem..." Guan Juer agreed immediately, feeling very happy that she could help Brother Chen.
In the cozy restaurant, the total bill for a meal was more than 400 yuan, which is really not cheap for working people.
Chen An led Guan Juer to the women's clothing area downstairs. The lights were soft and people were coming and going. Guan Juer tilted her head curiously and asked, "Brother Chen, do you want to buy something?"
"Guan Guan, do you know why among so many colleagues, Michelle always comes to you?" Chen An looked at Guan Juer intently with a serious expression.
"Ah, why?" Guan Juer opened her eyes wide, her face full of confusion.
"Think about the outfits of those career elites you see usually. Don't they all look very capable, and have a serious face, as if they have irregular menstruation..." Chen An raised the corners of his mouth with a hint of sarcasm.
"Pfft, Brother Chen, you are exaggerating..." Guan Juer couldn't help laughing out loud, covering her mouth with her hands, her eyes curved into crescents.
"It's not an exaggeration at all. You can tell from the look of him that he is someone who is not someone you want to mess with. Clothes make the man, saddles make the horse. It takes time to transform and form one's temperament, but it is very easy to change one's image." Chen An said as he gestured.
Guan Juer thought about going to the exchange meeting, and with a little trepidation in her eyes, she asked, "Brother Chen, do you like that kind of dress?"
Upon hearing this, Chen An immediately understood Guan Juer's thoughts and asked, "Guan Guan, do you think I look better in casual clothes or in a suit?"
"They are all very handsome." Guan Juer answered without hesitation, with a blush on her face.
Chen An blinked, smiled brightly, and said, "So there's no need to worry about it, right?"
Guan Juer's face turned even redder, and she thought to herself that Brother Chen could see her every little thought clearly.
Chen An took Guan Juer to walk around the women's clothing area for a while and couldn't help but frown. This mall was gorgeously decorated and the prices were really high.
For relatively similar clothes, there is basically no one that costs less than one thousand yuan.
This amount of money is not a big deal for me, but given our current relationship, it would be inappropriate for me to buy it for Guan Guan directly, and she would definitely not accept it. Let her buy it herself?
From the hesitant look in her eyes when she stared at the price tag, I knew she probably didn't have that much money in her bag.
Guan Juer actually liked the clothes there, but the prices were too high, at least she couldn't afford them at the moment. After hesitating for a while, she suggested, "Brother Chen, I know there's another one not far away, where there are more styles and the prices are more affordable."
Chen An was about to agree, but at this moment, a man came with a "pillow".
A man in his forties, with a big belly, hugged a beautiful woman in her twenties, pointed into the store, and said with a smug smile: "Baby, you can choose any clothes here. After you follow me, you don't have to go to those cheap shopping malls and buy those junk clothes." As the man spoke, he glanced at Chen An and Guan Juer with a smug look, and the contempt in his eyes was self-evident.
Damn, after hearing such pretentious words, Chen An would have said something to this man under normal circumstances.
But now when Chen An saw this man who looked like Zhu Bajie, he felt that the other's obscene smile seemed a lot friendlier.
Seeing Guan Juer looking a little embarrassed and blushing, Chen An leaned close to Guan Juer's ear and whispered, "Guan Guan, people look down on us. People who have worked hard for more than 40 years don't know why they are showing off to me. I just can't stand people showing off. I think the same clothes look different on different people. You will definitely look better than that woman."
Guan Juer touched her wallet and said hesitantly: "Brother Chen, why don't we just forget it..."
"Well, we were in a good mood, but now we're disgusted by someone. Let's go home..." Chen An looked depressed, frowning and ready to leave.
Seeing the expression on Chen An's face, Guan Juer quickly grabbed Chen An's sleeve and said anxiously: "Brother Chen, I actually like that one very much. What do you think of it?"
"Well, not bad, it looks good. The one next to it is also good." Chen An's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.
Guan Juer's heart moved. She had just looked at it a few more times, and Brother Chen remembered it. Brother Chen was really attentive.
She called the shopping guide and asked her to bring two skirts over. Guan Juer took the skirts and walked into the fitting room to change.
I have to say that Guan Juer has a good foundation. Although she is thin and not plump, this kind of skirt is just right on her, making her look more fresh and refined.
Everything was planned well, but something went wrong when it came time to pay the bill.
Chen An originally thought that he had an excuse, that Guan Guan didn't have the money to pay for it herself, and if that didn't work out, he could just ask her to pay it back later. However, he didn't expect that Guan Guan actually paid the bill herself.
After leaving the clothing store, Chen An couldn't help but ask, "Guan Guan, which credit card did you swipe just now?"
Guan Juer lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly and whispered, "That was done before, and this is the first time I've used it."
Well, this is really a waste of time. Chen An didn't bother to do anything. He just took Guan Juer's hand and walked towards a women's shoe store. Guan Juer was suddenly held by the hand. She was startled at first, her heart was pounding, and she was a little nervous, but she didn't have time to calm down.
Chen An handed the handbag to the shopping guide and said, "Beautiful lady, match these two skirts with two pairs of suitable shoes for my sister."
"Brother Chen, I have shoes." Guan Juer spoke quickly and waved her hands anxiously.
"I picked up 10,000 yuan today. We have a rule over here that the money we picked up must be spent quickly..." Chen An said seriously with a serious expression.
Guan Juer looked at Chen An suspiciously and said, "Brother Chen, there is no such thing. Don't try to fool me."
Chen An blinked and said more seriously: "Really, I'm not lying to you. It's unlucky to keep this money in your hands."
Guan Juer smiled helplessly, knowing that she couldn't win against Chen An, so she stopped refusing and wondered if she should apply for some relief funds.
After picking out two pairs of shoes, Chen An spent less than four thousand yuan in total. He didn't take Guan Guan around anymore. He had been planning to buy the little girl a new pair of glasses and do her hair, but today was not the right opportunity, so he would look for another one next time.
On the way back to the community, Guan Juer had a smile on her face the whole time. Thinking of Sister Fan's words, she somewhat agreed. If a man is willing to spend money and time on you, it means he loves you in his heart. She is not stupid and naturally sees that Brother Chen wants to buy her a gift, but she has to consider her own feelings. The thought is always more important than the gift.
At the entrance of Ode to Joy community, Chen An parked the car and handed the bag to Guan Juer, "Go back and rest early."
"Well, Brother Chen, you should also go to bed early. Good night."
"Good night."
After returning to the hotel room, Chen An took a shower, chatted with a few girls on WeChat for a while before falling asleep.
