Chapter 166: Best Friend Outfits
by xennovelCouple’s outfits aren’t included on Dong Wenhao’s list of recommended products.
For college students any product involving “couple” is usually very popular but couple outfits are an exception.
When all the couples on campus are dressed exactly the same you can’t even tell who’s dating who.
Wearing the same outfit as someone else is embarrassing enough doing it together as a couple is super awkward.
It’s not so bad when a handsome guy and pretty girl do it. They’re human coat hangers no matter how similar the clothes their auras are completely different like him Jizhou’s Wu Yanzu and his stunning little rich girl not afraid of matching outfits at all.
But for the ugly half of the couple it’s mortifying.
That resentment will inevitably be redirected at the group buying platform later so pass.
“Next one black short Korean-style down jacket item number FZ70513.”
Manager Yue paused after hearing that: “If I remember correctly that down jacket is women’s clothing.”
Jiang Qin’s expression didn’t change at all: “I know and women’s clothing is exactly what I wanted in the first place.”
“Alright that store is just around the corner. Do you want to go there now or keep looking around?”
Yue Zhu spoke then suddenly frowned leaning on a nearby advertisement board out of instinct before quickly recovering her smile as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Qin glanced at her about to say something but felt the little hand in his pocket was gone.
Huh?
Where’d my little rich girl go?
He turned his head to look around and saw Feng Nanshu had already run over to that couple’s clothing store his heart sank.
“Manager Yue wait here a moment I’ll go take a look.”
“Okay you go ahead.”
Manager Yue found a chair to sit taking off her high heels to massage her sore feet seeing Jiang Qin head towards the store.
Wanzhong Mall was in the middle of a promotional event. In addition to advertising on Jiang Qin’s forum they were also hosting an exhibition at the main entrance which had been going on for three days now.
As marketing manager Yue Zhu was essentially in charge so for the past three days she had been at the exhibition wearing high heels the whole time her feet were killing her.
But with Jiang Qin coming and calling her directly she had to show her face.
Corporate slave truly had unspeakable hardships.
At the same time Jiang Qin quickly arrived at the entrance of the couple’s clothing store and saw Feng Nanshu talking with the sales clerk. When they finished the two of them turned to look at Jiang Qin.
“Your boyfriend has a nice build. XL should fit him our sizes run a bit loose.”
The sales clerk spoke while turning to rummage through the racks pulling out two pieces of clothing to show the little rich girl.
Unlike the light blue on the shelves the two new pieces were white Feng Nanshu’s preferred color.
“Little rich girl what are you doing?” Jiang Qin asked despite knowing the answer.
Feng Nanshu raised her beautiful eyes: “Jiang Qin let’s buy matching best friend outfits to wear.”
“Wh-what outfits?”
“Best friend outfits.”
“Oh so that’s what they’re called. Then what about the small one over there? Intergenerational friendship?”
Jiang Qin pointed to the nearby parent-child section which had similar hoodies but with a child’s size that looked adorable like a family out for a stroll when displayed on the plastic models.
“Of the three… maybe there’s one short friend.”
Feng Nanshu’s eyelashes fluttered maintaining a serious ice cold expression while spouting nonsense.
“No deceptive words let’s go I’m not lacking clothes to wear.”
Jiang Qin reached for her little hand.
“Gege buy it.”
Feng Nanshu obediently gave him her hand but refused to budge her eyes pure and innocent her face full of desire.
After half a month Jiang Qin thought the little rich girl had long forgotten her ultimate move but this sudden request really cost him half his life. His whole body went limp except for his mouth.
“Couple outfits are a hot seller at our store. Since you’re both tall you can actually find your sizes the common sizes sold out long ago.” The sales clerk said with a grin.
Jiang Qin turned to Feng Nanshu: “Did you hear what this sister just said they were?”
Feng Nanshu felt a bit guilty but blurted out righteously: “She said best friend outfits right?”
“…”
“…”
“Then let’s buy two.” Jiang Qin rubbed his nose muttering.
The sales clerk beamed: “Would you two like to try them on? We have fitting rooms.”
Jiang Qin waved his hand: “No need to try them on just bag them up. We can come back to exchange if they don’t fit.”
“Alright please wait a moment I’ll go to the back to ring you up. Oh right in addition to couple hoodies we also have couple hats couple shoes couple gloves couple bags. Couple items are our specialty feel free to take a look.”
The sales clerk spoke non-stop machine-gunning the word “couple”.
Jiang Qin and Feng Nanshu both stood expressionless eyes forward as if automatically filtering out certain keywords completely deaf to that string of “couples” just now.
There’s no problem wearing the same clothes right?
Crooked feet aren’t afraid of straight shoes love who you love.
Jiang Qin took the goods grabbed Feng Nanshu and left through the back door heading to the Korean women’s clothing store across the way.
An hour later Yue Zhu’s soreness had eased a bit but she wondered where Jiang Qin had gone. She was about to call to find him when she saw him pushing a small cart piled high with merchandise.
“Sorry about that Manager Yue I wandered around a bit and got lost. Took me an hour to find my way back.”
Yue Zhu waved it off: “The store you were looking for is just ahead. I’ll take you to get the women’s clothes.”
Jiang Qin shook his head: “No need I already finished picking out everything I need is in the cart.”
“That much? Well… how about this President Jiang I’ll have someone deliver it to the underground garage for you.”
Manager Yue felt she was getting fleeced a bit unpleasant psychologically but still had to maintain a polite face.
After all they were doing business. Give and take was the polite way. Even if she got the short end this time she could make some of it back on the advertising fees next time. No one would lose too much.
But what Yue Zhu didn’t expect was Jiang Qin refused her offer insisting on paying who couldn’t be persuaded otherwise.
“Manager Yue you sending me the electric pot shows your goodwill but I can’t be ungrateful wanting everything. I’ll remember the sentiment I should but the money that should be paid still needs to be paid.”
Yue Zhu seeing he really intended to line up to pay blanked for a moment: “Forget it President Jiang really you don’t need to pay.”
Jiang Qin smiled faintly: “Better to pay I’m afraid next time Manager Yue won’t dare let me come.”
“How could that be President Jiang you really know how to joke.”
“Oh right I passed by earlier and saw this thing. It says if you put it in your shoe wearing high heels won’t hurt as much. I don’t know if it works just passing on the favor.”
Jiang Qin fished out a pack of colorful soft insoles from the shopping cart stuffing it into Yue Zhu’s hand then pushed the cart to pay.
Yue Zhu held the insoles stunned for a while before realizing Jiang Qin had noticed her feet hurt early on.
Him saying he got lost earlier was just an excuse to actually let her rest for a bit longer.
As marketing manager of Wanzhong Mall Yue Zhu had received many clients but this was the first time she felt warmth from the bottom of her heart. College students were still pure kind and sincere.
Huh?
Wait didn’t he not pay for this?!
Damn so this is the so-called “borrowing flowers to offer Buddha”?
In the blink of an eye it was 2pm.
Jiang Qin bid Yue Zhu farewell taking the little rich girl and leaving Wanzhong Mall returning to Linchuan University.
After unloading the purchased products from the car Jiang Qin had them each pick an item to use for a while.
Hearing there were free things to use everyone’s excitement instantly rose each picking an item. By the time it was Lu Feiyu’s turn there was only a pair of black stockings left on the table.
“???”
“Boss I can’t test this thing right?”
Jiang Qin glanced at him: “If others can why can’t you? You don’t have legs?!”
Lu Feiyu paled: “This is for girls to wear. I’ll be shunned if I wear this around campus!”
“Look at your ignorant face. When stockings were first invented they were for gentlemen of nobility to wear. Those not noble or gentlemanly wouldn’t dare wear them.”
“Boss you’re more noble you wear them. You can just tell me about your experience it’s all the same.”
Jiang Qin had him accept it no need to be polite: “If you’re afraid of people seeing wear them underneath. Put on long johns fur pants cotton pants then your pants on top. No one will be able to tell. Maybe your good buddies your heroic impressive roommates are secretly wearing a pair underneath too who knows.”
Listening Lu Feiyu felt his scalp go numb: “Isn’t that perverted?”
Dong Wenhao patted his shoulder: “If you’re unwilling I’ll trade you mine.”
“Holy shit Dong-ge you like wearing stockings? Who would’ve thought!”
“No I just don’t like my product.”
Dong Wenhao held out his hand silently taking out three lipsticks: “The boss is right. No one can tell if you wear stockings under your pants but what if you put on red lipstick? Isn’t that even more perverted?”
Lu Feiyu took a deep breath: “Forget it I’ll wear the stockings.”
…
The next evening an article recommending good products went online with a fiery title blatantly promoting stockings as comfortable warm and elegant for sisters. The beautiful writing and photos from various angles attracted quite a bit of traffic.
The comments section broke a thousand in no time with most of them coming from macho men.
“Brothers here to learn fashion again?”
“Well written keep it up love reading it!”
Lu Feiyu felt dirty but turning to look at Dong Wenhao’s red lips felt his eyes go blind.
Weren’t there a lot of electronics?
Who took all those electronics damn it!
