Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Chance Encounter in a Mall
Chen Youshan has learned a little about personal image in books, and knows that dressing up brightly is not only to improve his personal image, but also to respect others on many occasions. He was also very aware of the importance of dressing, and he was not unaware of the strangeness of the staff when he was in the bookstore in the morning, and he did not fail to catch the obvious strange eyes of those passers-by on the way. Therefore, even if Yu Yao didn't say it, he really planned to change his outfit in the afternoon. He didn't want to be dressed brightly, at least his clothes should not be so old and simple, at least he didn't have to let others look at him like monsters.
Walking slowly along the streets, he immersed himself in the bustling city and looked at many things along the way that he had never seen in his hometown.
More than an hour later, he came to a famous shopping mall in Beijing. After walking around a few stores, he was unexpectedly despised by many shopping guides, as if everyone didn't think that he could afford the clothes in it. Fortunately, he was strong enough in his heart to not take it to heart at all.
After shopping for half an hour under all kinds of strange eyes, he stopped in front of a set of casual clothes, and after looking at the price, he asked the chubby shopping guide behind him, "Can I get a discount?" ”
"We never give discounts." The shopping guide looked arrogant.
Chen Youshan didn't think it was right and asked, "Help me get a plus-size one, I'll try to see if it fits." ”
The shopping guide glanced at him and asked, "Do you know how much this suit costs?" ”
Chen Youshan was stunned for a moment, looked at the price card again, and made sure that he was not wrong before saying: "If you didn't make a mistake, I should know." ”
The shopping guide didn't say anything more, found a set of clothes from under the shelves on the side and handed it over, pointed to the side and said, "The fitting room is over there." ”
Chen Youshan walked into the fitting room, quickly walked out of it, looked at the mirror, and frowned slightly.
This outfit fits well, but it looks too mature, and it really doesn't match his age, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Help me change that set." Glancing at the nearby shelves, he pointed to a solid-colored T-shirt.
The shopping guide was busy introducing something to the other two customers at this time, and glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, ignoring it.
Chen Youshan didn't urge, and chose while waiting.
The two customers didn't seem to pick what they liked, so they walked around the store and went out. The chubby shopping guide helped him take off the T-shirt.
Putting this dress on, Chen Youshan still felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong with him, anyway, he felt weird wearing this dress, and he set his eyes on the other clothes on the shelf.
The mall is located in the center of the city, and there is a lot of traffic, and in between the dialect selections, many people walk into the store. The fat shopping guide didn't know if he felt that he couldn't get any commission from Chen Youshan, so he went directly to serve other customers, and let Chen Youshan look around there alone.
"Chen Youshan?"
Just when Chen Youshan was thinking about whether to change the store again, a familiar voice sounded in his ears. Turning his head to look, Xia Mingyue and Zhang Xiaoke were standing not far away with large bags and small bags.
"What are you doing here? Shopping for clothes? Zhang Xiaoke seemed to have seen the big news and walked towards him, and Xia Mingyue on the side followed after hesitating for a while.
"Why are you here?" Chen Youshan looked at the two of them with a stunned expression, and secretly asked if this was too coincidental, how could they be seen anywhere.
"We're shopping." Zhang Xiaoke glanced at him and laughed out loud, "This is the clothes you chose?" ”
Chen Youshan was a little embarrassed and said, "I don't know why, these clothes always feel weird to wear." ”
"These clothes are so old-fashioned, where is it suitable for your age, of course they look weird to wear." Zhang Xiaoke couldn't help but laugh and wondered: "Aren't there a lot of shopping guides here?" Why don't you ask them for their opinions? ”
Chen Youshan glanced at the fat service not far away and said, "There are too many customers, they don't seem to be busy." ”
"Can't get busy?" Zhang Xiaoke is so smart, looking at the chubby shopping guide's idle appearance, where would he not know the cat in it, his face suddenly fell, and after thinking about it, he said: "Let's go, I'll help you choose." ”
"Huh?" Chen Youshan was stunned.
"Ah what? Don't you still believe in this girl's vision? No matter how bad it is, it's better than the ones you picked, right? Zhang Xiaoke couldn't help but say, and directly pulled him towards the other shelves.
Xia Mingyue didn't say anything, and silently followed behind the two.
Not far away, the fat shopping guide had already noticed the abnormality here, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but his eyes looked at Chen Youshan with more and more disdain, as if he looked down on this kind of man who eats soft rice.
"What do you want to buy?" Zhang Xiaoke asked while searching the shelves around him.
Chen Youshan scratched his head a little embarrassed: "I don't know, as long as it looks more comfortable, it would be better if it could appear more mature." ”
"Mature?" Zhang Xiaoke nodded thoughtfully, concentrating on picking up on different shelves, and after a while, he found a set, "You go and try this set." ”
Chen Youshan did not refuse, turned around and walked towards the fitting room.
At this time, Xia Mingyue walked over and whispered, "Don't pick too expensive, he may not be able to afford it." ”
"I can't afford it, I'll pay for him." Zhang Xiaoke glanced at the chubby shopping guide not far away, and sneered.
Xia Mingyue said: "If you don't understand him, he won't accept it." ”
While the two were talking, Chen Youshan had already changed his clothes and walked out. When both of them set their eyes on him again, they both had a feeling of brightness in their eyes. Chen Youshan, who is really dressed up, doesn't seem to be worse than others.
Looking at the mirror, Chen Youshan also had to admit that the corners of Zhang Xiaoke's eyes were indeed several grades higher than his own. The outfit made him feel very comfortable, that is, it did not look old-fashioned or hide the vitality that should be in him at this age, and more importantly, he no longer had that eccentric feeling.
"Can you pick two more sets for me?" Chen Youshan looked at Zhang Xiaoke with some embarrassment.
"No problem." Zhang Xiaoke naturally didn't have any opinions, and quickly helped him find two more sets. This time, Chen Youshan only looked at the style of the clothes, and he was ready to pay for it without even trying it.
Zhang Xiaoke laughed and said, "Why don't you give it a try?" ”
Chen Youshan smiled: "No, I believe in your vision, just get the right size." ”
"That is, I told you a long time ago, this girl's vision will not be wrong." Zhang Xiaoke was triumphant.
"Sir, are you going to take these three sets of clothes?" The chubby shopping guide from before came over in a very timely manner.
Chen Youshan nodded.
"I'll help you with the ticket." The chubby shopping guide smiled all over his face and took the clothes in his hand very attentively.
"No, no, no." Zhang Xiaoke walked over with an arrow step, glanced around, and beckoned to another shopping guide in the distance: "Help me open a ticket." ”
The chubby shopping guide suddenly froze in place, feeling the strange eyes of the customers around him, and his face became a little ugly.
Zhang Xiaoke ignored her, unceremoniously took the clothes from her hand, and handed them to another shopping guide who was trotting over. Whoever invoices and who makes the achievement, of course she knows how she could let such a dog-eyed slut take this commission.
After receiving the receipt from another shopping guide, Chen Youshan walked directly to the cashier. Why did Zhang Xiaoke do this, he was like a mirror in his heart, so naturally he would not have any opinions.
Seeing that Chen Youshan actually went to pay by himself, the corners of the chubby shopping guide's eyes jumped unconsciously, and he silently glanced at Zhang Xiaoke, who was sneering at her, and turned around and left silently.
Three sets of clothes, 1,376 yuan, Chen Youshan was really distressed. It was the first time he had bought such expensive clothes since he was a child.
"What? Reluctantly? Looking at Chen Youshan, who had been staring at the ticket, Zhang Xiaoke couldn't help but quip.
Chen Youshan did not deny it: "This is the first time I have bought such expensive clothes, and I have bought three sets at a time." ”
Zhang Xiaoke laughed, feeling that he should get to know the guy in front of him again. At least he doesn't feel like the nerdy image he thinks she is.
"Why do you suddenly want to buy so many clothes?" Xia Mingyue asked puzzled.
"yes, why do you buy so many clothes?" Zhang Xiaoke also asked.
Chen Youshan said: "Work needs. ”
"Work? You got a job so quickly? Xia Mingyue looked surprised, "What for?" ”
"In a bar, when ...... Waiter. Chen Youshan thought about it, but still didn't say anything about taking over a bar, after all, it was so incredible that even he still felt a little unbelievable.
"Oh." Xia Mingyue answered and didn't say anything more.
"Bar?" Zhang Xiaoke seemed to be interested, "Which bar?" Is the bar fun? ”
Chen Youshan didn't know what she was thinking, and said, "That kind of place is not suitable for you to go." ”
"Why doesn't it work for me? Anyway, I'm about to be a college student, okay? Zhang Xiaoke looked dissatisfied, "I used to see the nightlife of bars on TV and movies, I really want to experience it, tell me which bar you are in, and I will take care of your business when the time comes." ”
Chen Youshan hesitated. After all, bars are very chaotic places, where everyone is mixed, and anything can happen to fights, troubles, drunkenness, and madness. In his cognition, the women who will enter the bar are also the kind of women who are not very peaceful, so he is a little resistant to white paper like Zhang Xiaoke Xia Mingyue entering the bar, he is afraid that they will be polluted.
"What? I'm afraid I'll want you to have a treat? Seeing that he didn't answer, Zhang Xiaoke suddenly became a little unhappy.
