"Heh." Lu Youxi sneered, "What’s it to you? It’s my money, I’ll buy whatever I want."
Mr. Lin laughed, "I’m curious how much you’ll make from buying this land."
Lin Jingshen smiled by the side and said to his father, "Not just making a profit, it’d be good if she doesn’t lose money."
"Just you watch," Lu Youxi had, in her previous life, thought Mr. Lin was normal, even intelligent.
Indeed, in her previous life, she really wasn’t smart.
This life, she saw many things clearly.
Lu Youxi left with Zhu Yali.
Mr. Lin snorted coldly, watching Lu Youxi’s retreating figure and said to Lin Jingshen, "I’ll see how she ends up losing!"
The two of them finished speaking and also left.
While in the car with Mr. Lin, Lin Jingshen received a call from a friend, planning to go to KTV that night.
Thinking it over, after arriving at his company, he then called Lu Youbang.
He had previously told Lu Youbang to stick with him in the future.
Though he wouldn’t involve Lu Youbang in everything, he occasionally had to fulfill his promises.
For casual gatherings like eating, drinking, and merrymaking, it was acceptable to have Lu Youbang do chores for him.
Just like taking on a new follower.
Indeed, Lu Youbang was thrilled upon hearing this, feeling like he was officially part of Lin Jingshen’s circle of friends and readily agreed.
Lu Youbang hung up and immediately contacted Lu Youzhen.
At that time, Lu Youzhen was out shopping.
It was only after arriving in the Imperial Capital that she realized how expensive things were here.
From food to clothes to general goods, everything was exceptionally pricey.
But also exceptionally high-end.
Everything was exquisite.
Take facewashing alone, there were so many different products.
Not to mention face creams.
The skincare counters at department stores competed in elegance.
The supermarkets’ household goods section, small appliances, and storage options all had numerous styles.
The clothes in the department stores were all so fashionable and beautiful.
But all too expensive.
Luckily, her roommate told her about a wholesale market where the clothes were cheap yet good-looking.
Of course, the quality couldn’t compare to what was available in department stores, but for the style alone, it was suitable.
Thus, these days, apart from browsing in the department stores to broaden her horizons without buying, Lu Youzhen would visit the wholesale market to find suitable beautiful clothes.
She remembered her first visit to the clothing wholesale market; it had been mesmerizing.
The quality wasn’t as good as the department store clothes but had an air of high-end quality.
But just for the style alone, she had never seen such in Xing Village or even Tai Town.
The prices were cheap too, twenty to thirty, sometimes even a dozen yuan could buy a pretty piece of clothing.
Lu Youzhen had bought quite a bit these past few days.
When she received Lu Youbang’s call, she was laden with many bags, wandering through the clothing wholesale market.
"Dress up nicely today, you’re coming with me to KTV tonight. Lin Jingshen will be there too," said Lu Youbang, "along with some other classmates. But in such a setting, it will be easier for me to introduce you."
"Just say you’ve just arrived at the Imperial Capital, don’t know anyone, and are unfamiliar with the city. I’ll take you out to see the world," Lu Youbang added, "That way it won’t be awkward, and it won’t seem too purposeful. The introduction will come off more naturally."
"Okay." Lu Youzhen nodded.
"Dress up nicely," Lu Youbang instructed, "Aim to catch Lin Jingshen’s eye instantly and make a lasting impression."
"Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing," Lu Youzhen said impatiently.
"But don’t make it too obvious that you’re trying too hard," Lu Youbang, for reasons unknown, thought of Lu Youxi, "It’s best to look effortless and approachable, as if you normally wear it. Don’t let it be obvious you’re dressed up specially, yet still ensure you look beautiful."
"Got it, why so many requirements?" Lu Youzhen said irritably.
Lu Youbang explained, "To catch Lin Jingshen’s attention, you definitely have to be more cautious and well-prepared. There are plenty of beautiful, well-dressed girls in Lin Jingshen’s circle. An outfit from them costs several months of someone’s salary."
"Even if the style of the clothes you wear is beautiful, Lin Jingshen will instantly tell if it’s from a street stall, and he won’t spare you a second glance," Lu Youbang said. "It might be better to opt for a simple, fresh look that highlights your beauty, drawing Lin Jingshen’s attention to your face instead."
"You seem to know Lin Jingshen pretty well," Lu Youzhen remarked as Lu Youbang described these standards as if they were specific.
"I told you, I know him well," Lu Youbang boasted, "Didn’t you believe me earlier?"
"I believed you, just didn’t realize you knew him this well," Lu Youzhen was now even more convinced by Lu Youbang’s advice.
"How about you come over and help me pick out an outfit for tonight?" Lu Youzhen suggested.
"Sure." To be safe, Lu Youbang agreed.
Lu Youzhen didn’t linger outside any longer and hurried home.
Just as Lu Youbang had reached Lu Youzhen’s apartment, he saw her returning with bags in hand.
Lu Youbang approached and took the bags from Lu Youzhen, asking, "Why are you dressed like this? Isn’t it hot?"
Lu Youzhen was wearing a tank top layered with a thin long-sleeved coat.
She had pulled the coat’s collar up to her neck.
Who knows where she got a thin scarf, wrapped around her neck and propped up to cover her face.
Wearing sunglasses, the nose pad fixated the scarf in place on her nose.
Her head was also topped with a sun hat.
One could say she was wrapped up very tightly from head to toe.
Lu Youbang might not know,
But if Lu Youxi had seen it, she would have commented on Lu Youzhen’s cleverness.
Protective clothing and masks for sun protection weren’t available yet.
But Lu Youzhen’s dress style already resembled prototypes of future sun protective clothing, hats, and masks.
"It’s too hot; I can’t afford to tan myself," Lu Youzhen explained.
Back in Xing Village, when her circumstances weren’t as free, Lu Youzhen had always done her best to shield herself from the sun.
In this aspect, she somewhat envied Lu Youxi.
Lu Youxi was naturally fair-skinned and seemingly never tanned.
After heavy sun exposure, her skin might turn red, but just resting overnight, her skin would return to its original pale complexion the next day.
Unlike her, Lu Youzhen had yellow-toned skin. While still fairly light, she always looked lesser compared to Lu Youxi when standing side by side.
Since her natural endowment was lacking, she had to make efforts afterward.
Thus, Lu Youzhen was always vigilant about sun protection.
As Lu Youbang thought of Lu Youxi’s skin tone, it was indeed very fair.
And she was pretty too. Take the first day she registered at school, simply dressed in a plain T-shirt had attracted many boys, including Lin Jingshen’s attention.
