Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 265: Chapter 264: Bathed in the Spring Breeze [1st Update, Please Subscribe]

Just some time ago, Lu Xiaobu had Fan Xi fleeing in panic.

Today, however, he himself is ’compelled’ by Professor Sun to make a hasty escape as well.

It must be said, what goes around comes around, and quickly at that!

Snicker!

Moreover, this Professor Sun is incredibly persistent.

He followed Lu Xiaobu all the way out of the university.

Lu Xiaobu got into a car.

He also hailed a taxi.

Following right behind.

By the looks of it, he had a do-or-die attitude.

”Shit, Zhang Meng, to the airport, heading to Xiangjiang.”

Lu Xiaobu immediately gave the command.

”Yes! Young Master!”

Zhang Meng drove the car straight to the airport.

In the shortest time, the private plane took off.

Destination—Xiangjiang.

”Phew! Heh heh, can’t catch up now, can you?”

Lu Xiaobu looked through the airplane window at Professor Sun inside the airport, stomping his feet anxiously, and smiled smugly.

This trip to Xiangjiang was not entirely about avoiding Professor Sun.

It was also to pay a visit to the He Family and to look for her clues.

Of course, because of the hasty departure, only Zhang Meng, Li Jin, and Su Luoxue were with Lu Xiaobu at the moment.

Liang Lan and the others were not informed in time.

...

The plane landed in Xiangjiang.

It must be said, this city is one of the world’s freest economies and most competitive cities, enjoying an extremely high reputation worldwide, rated as a global first-tier city by GaWC, and is exceptionally charming.

Not to mention anything else, just take this temperature, for example.

Cool and dry, it feels very comfortable.

”So comfy.”

Lu Xiaobu stretched lazily, removing the heavy clothing from his body, and extended a hand towards Su Luoxue.

”Ah?”

Su Luoxue was baffled, not understanding what he meant.

Lu Xiaobu stretched out his hand again.

”Um...”

After pondering for a while, Su Luoxue had a mental lapse and actually bent over slightly, leaned forward, placed her pretty face in Lu Xiaobu’s hand, and asked dumbfoundedly, ”Like this?”

”Pfft!”

Lu Xiaobu almost spat blood from the sheer contrast in cuteness from Su Luoxue, this ice maiden.

Has this girl lost her mind?

”I...”

Su Luoxue also realized what had happened.

Instantly, her entire pretty face flushed to her neck.

What was she doing?

Indeed, having stayed by Lu Xiaobu’s side for so long, her mind was not working right.

”Silly girl, I’m talking about clothes, clothes.”

Lu Xiaobu said cheerfully.

Now that the temperature has changed, it is natural to change into attire suitable for this place.

”Oh, oh, oh, where are the clothes?”

Su Luoxue asked blankly.

”Ah...”

Zhang Meng couldn’t help but interject: ”Shouldn’t you ask the Young Master? Liang Lan usually prepares this stuff, and now with Liang Lan not here, you as the secretary naturally have to do it.”

”Ah?! I didn’t know that!”

Su Luoxue panicked, feeling a bit at a loss.

In this moment, she inexplicably gave off a sense of adorable cluelessness.

This was actually her first time being taken on a long trip, and there were many things she still wasn’t clear about.

After all, these preparations were usually handled by Liang Lan, and she had not been instructed about these matters.

Actually, this was a bit of selfishness on Liang Lan’s part, to prevent herself from being completely replaced.

”Alright, alright, then let’s go shopping.”

Lu Xiaobu stretched, not saying much else.

”Oh.”

Su Luoxue once again adopted her ice maiden demeanor, beginning to look for the necessary shop.

This she knew how to do.

Xiangjiang’s shopping streets are numerous, practically everywhere.

Soon, Su Luoxue found a shopping street nearby.

At the shopping street.

They entered a men’s clothing store.

Lu Xiaobu doesn’t recognize any brands, but they seem to be quite high-end.

”Hello, sir, how may I assist you?”

The sales associate greeted him with courteous politeness.

”I’d like to buy some clothes that are suitable to wear now, any recommendations?”

Lu Xiaobu asked with a smile.

”Certainly, please take a look over here.”

The sales associate began showing Lu Xiaobu the clothes.

Hmm, no looking down upon him, no arrogance, no discrimination.

When businesses open their doors, why would they chase you away if you’re not causing trouble?

With the help of Su Luoxue and the sales associate, Lu Xiaobu found some clothes he was quite satisfied with.

Though they weren’t as comfortable as tailor-made, they were still pretty nice.

”Sir, you really look handsome, this outfit suits you very well.”

The sales associate expressed her admiration.

”Stop flattering me, I know it’s your job to compliment customers, haha. But I like it.”

Lu Xiaobu chuckled, enjoying the compliment.

”No no no, I’m being sincere this time.”

The sales associate was quite humorous too.

”Alright.” Lu Xiaobu cheerfully said: ”I’m not too familiar with the customs here, would giving a tip be offensive?”

After all, Xiangjiang is different from the Mainland, there’s no need to seek trouble when one is bored.

Especially now, he only has this silly girl by his side; it’s too bothersome to deal with.

So, it’s better to ask one more question.

”Not at all.”

The sales associate’s eyes lit up, she caught the hint in his words.

”Then good, here’s a reward, five thousand.”

Lu Xiaobu immediately said.

Li Jin quickly stepped forward with the money.

”Wow.”

The sales associate took a sharp breath: ”No no no, that’s too much, sir.”

Tips are usually fifty or a hundred.

Who would directly give five thousand?!

That’s practically as much as her commission.

”Take it, it’s a small gesture.”

Lu Xiaobu waved his hand nonchalantly.

”Thank you then.”

The sales associate expressed her gratitude.

When facing Lu Xiaobu, she always felt like basking in the spring breeze.

Though generous, he didn’t have that nouveau riche vibe.

Perhaps this is what truly wealthy people are like.

The other sales associates in the store were watching her with extreme envy.

What a great customer she’s met!

Handsome, rich, and polite.

If only all customers were like him.

But of course, that was just wishful thinking.

”By the way, I have a question.” Lu Xiaobu suddenly remembered something.

”Please ask,” the sales associate replied respectfully.

”What does ’唔该晒’ mean? I’ve heard many people saying it.” Lu Xiaobu curiously inquired.

”It means thank you, appreciation, that sort of thing, a polite expression.”

The sales associate explained.

”Oh, then ’唔该晒’.”

Lu Xiaobu applied it immediately.

”No no no, I’m the one who should be saying ’唔该晒’.”

The sales associate quickly waved her hand, bowing in gratitude.

They were getting along nicely, but that doesn’t mean all customers are like Lu Xiaobu.

”Hey, take that down for me to take a look.”

A arrogant voice spoke up, addressing the sales associate next to Lu Xiaobu.

”I’m sorry, sir, I am currently serving this customer, could I find someone else to assist you?”

The sales associate frowned at the command-like tone, feeling somewhat annoyed.

Looking at Lu Xiaobu, then at this person, what a difference!

Still, she waved over a colleague to serve the new customer.

”What do you mean? He’s a customer, and I’m not? Am I short of money?”

The sales associate didn’t reply, but the customer became more agitated: ”I’ve had enough of your attitude since I arrived, what, looking down on us Mainland people? People who speak Mandarin can’t shop here, is that it? For those who speak English or Cantonese, you all start fawning and acting like slaves? What nonsense!”

Lu Xiaobu frowned upon hearing this.

He couldn’t just pretend he didn’t hear that.
