77. Take people as a mirror
Twelve o'clock in the afternoon.
In a shopping mall, Chen An was a little confused.
There are so many shops around that Chen An doesn't know which one to enter.
He tried to send a message to Cabbage, asking her to help her refer to the brand, asking her which was better, Armani or Dior.
But soon the cabbage replied with a message: Are you shopping for clothes?
Chen An thought for a while: Yes, I want to change to a more mature set of clothes, and I don't know what brand to buy.
Cabbage: Where? Wait for me.
Chen An was a little surprised: Are you free?
He really didn't expect the cabbage to come.
Cabbage was sitting in the cafeteria, hurriedly eating a few large spoonfuls of tofu rice, and then was about to get up.
He Jiao shouted: "What are you doing?!"
The cabbage just threw down the sentence: "Help me clean up!"
He Jiao sighed helplessly: "Tut-tut... A WeChat was called away by her boyfriend. ”
She thought for a moment and took a bite of the chicken leg from the cabbage bowl.
Since inviting Chen An and Cabbage to eat a hot pot of more than 600 yuan, she has not eaten chicken legs for several days, and she is not greedy.
She also doesn't dislike the oil on the chicken legs, holding the chicken legs in one hand and the steamed buns in the other, and she looks extremely unladylike.
"Hurry up and finish eating and go to practice..."
He Jiao gobbled it up, but accidentally choked, and just wanted to ask the cabbage to help him pat it, but he remembered that the cabbage had already left.
She had no choice but to shoot it with her own back.
After a while, she coughed violently twice, and tears overflowed: "But I choked the old lady... Go to Nima's big chicken thigh!"
...
Chen An didn't wait long in the square when he saw the cabbage coming over in a hurry.
There were some beads of sweat on his face, and he obviously ran over after getting out of the car.
"What are you doing in such a hurry?"
Chen An stretched out his hand to help her flick off the dust from her hair: "I just asked you, you can help me refer to it on WeChat." ”
Cabbage shook her head with a smile: "How can this work, the first time you buy a formal suit, of course I have to accompany you." ”
Her bright eyes stared at Chen An: "Why do you want to buy formal clothes?"
How can this be said?
Chen An's eyes rolled, and he said seriously: "I have a business negotiation. ”
The conversation with Zhong Shanhai is indeed a business negotiation, and there is nothing wrong with it!
Cabbage was shocked, she had unreserved trust in Chen An: "Business negotiation?!"
Chen An looked at the surprised expression of the cabbage with his mouth slightly open, as if he saw the "surprised cat".
This... It's embarrassing.
"It's okay, it's actually just a fox and a fake tiger. ”
The appearance of cabbage made Chen An unhappy, after all, his level was far from reaching the standard of the word "negotiation".
"I just like your humility. The cabbage's eyes were crooked with a smile, and he thought silently in his heart... Be sure to check it out for yourself.
Chen An felt that the cabbage was finished, and it was estimated that if she fell on her heels now, she would think that she was practicing toad skills.
If you really like someone, you will do everything possible to put advantages in him.
...
Chen An's only requirement for a suit is to be comfortable and decent, and the price must be expensive.
After hearing this request, Cabbage also felt normal, and pulled Chen An into the Armani store.
Facing Zhong Shanhai, he has two paths to take.
One is to disguise himself as a stupid son of a landlord's family, and label him as "I'm rich and I'm stupid, come on".
This path is relatively simple, because Chen An doesn't need to show anything, he can almost instantly make Zhong Shanhai interested in him, after all, this kind of person has the best money.
The second path is an extremely difficult one, pretending to be a rich man with real taste and extraordinary family background, so that Zhong Shanhai has the idea of casting a long line to catch big fish.
The mentality of a businessman, which he had learned about in a book called "The Fifth Cultivation", had finally come in handy.
As for Chen An's choice, needless to say, he chose the second path without hesitation.
The first path is simple, but the ceiling is not high.
If Zhong Shanhai finds that he is sluggish and can't get enough funds, then he will probably lose interest in himself.
This is not what Chen An wants.
The most important thing is that Chen An wants to test himself and see how effective his cultivation has been in the past month or so.
I've been sharpening my sword all along, and now it's finally time to cut iron.
Etiquette, conversation, cultivation, vision...
As long as you talk to a well-informed businessman like Zhong Shanhai, you can know it clearly.
After all, among the materials that Chen An can find, Zhong Shanhai is not reckless, and after becoming famous, he even won a doctorate in history and philosophy.
"It's a pity that his bottom line is too low, he can't be considered a hero, and he can't be considered a traitor..."
But this does not prevent him from using Zhong Shanhai as a mirror to see how far he has come.
"With people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses... Let's see what I've gotten in the past month or so..."
At the same time, Chen An also has an ambition hidden in his heart - to use Zhong Shanhai as a springboard to see the wider world.
Looking at the mirror in the Armani store, Chen An smiled.
His appearance has not changed, but his interior has changed dramatically.
"How's this one?"
Cabbage's words brought Chen An back to reality, she flew around like a hard-working little bee, carefully helping Chen An pick this and that, even more enthusiastic than when she picked out clothes herself.
"It's good. ”
Chen An looked at a gray suit in her hand.
The clerk's face was full of flattery: "You guys are really affectionate." ”
She secretly glanced at the watch in the cabbage's hand, and the smile on her face became more enthusiastic, whether she praised Chen An for her good figure and Chen An's good face.
Chen An smiled and said in his heart that you are finished.
Sure enough, she was glared at by the cabbage.
The clerk had no choice but to shut up and stop talking.
"Then put it on..."
Chen An said helplessly: "I have my own hands." ”
Cabbage didn't care, and insisted on saying: "I must help you wear your first formal outfit!"
Okay.
This little girl is like a red seal, imprinting marks on Chen An's body everywhere.
Cabbage handed over a gray hand, and reached out to help Lin'an straighten her collar, as careful as a gentle little daughter-in-law.
"It's okay..."
After all, it is a suit of tens of thousands, although it is not a custom-made model, but it is quite a fit for Chen An, whose figure is becoming more and more standard.
The cabbage circled around Chen An a few times, patted his little head and asked, "It seems to be a little more casual, not suitable for formal occasions." ”
The clerk walked up just right: "If you want to be more formal, I recommend this black one..."
The cabbage didn't appreciate it: "No need, you go and get busy, I'll pick it myself." ”
Clerk: "..."
In the end, after twenty minutes of busy work, Cabbage helped Chen An pick out a black suit with stripes, with a crimson bow tie by the way.
It's just that something went wrong when I was wearing a tie.
Cabbage doesn't wear a tie ... Almost tied into a dead knot.
"I'll just learn it myself, I don't need your help, you can go and get busy. ”
Clerk: "..."
Cabbage muttered and walked away, holding the phone in his hand and starting Baidu.
It took another five minutes.
Although the cabbage didn't think it was perfect, Chen An thought it was good.
"Pay for it. ”
Chen An decided to buy a set first.
In addition to the suit, he is also going to buy himself a men's watch.
These scene-filling things, coupled with the background that he can't see, are the stepping stones that knock on the door of Zhong Shanhai!
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his plan was perfect, not only to test himself, but also to get rid of Zhong Tai and Cheng Xiaoxiao.
"That..."
The cabbage finally took the initiative to find the clerk, and the clerk was moved to tears.
"That's... Can you take a picture for us?" Cabbage hugged Chen An tightly and handed out his mobile phone.
Clerk: "..."
