Chapter 37 Is Alisa not here?
Today, she was wearing a dark blue business suit dress, her long beautiful legs still wrapped in black stockings, and her flaxen large wavy hair casually draped over her shoulders, looking quite tempting.
"Just came from the store?"
Shen Yuan buckled his seatbelt and asked casually.
He had originally arranged to meet with Chen Na tonight, but Chen Na had indicated yesterday that she had other things to do in the evening and wanted to reschedule to the afternoon.
Shen Yuan wanted to meet in the evening because he didn\'t want to affect Chen Na\'s work during the day, but she seemed to have misunderstood his intention, thinking he might have some inappropriate thoughts.
In fact, he really just wanted to have a simple dinner and chat with Chen Na.
"Yeah, I work today but didn\'t have much on this afternoon, so I took a half-day off," she replied.
Chen Na turned her head to look at Shen Yuan, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes, "Isn\'t the main gate of the International campus the south gate? Why did you ask me to pick you up at the eastern gate?"
Chen Na had visited the International campus a few times, always entering and exiting through the south gate, the main gate.
But this was her first time at this seemingly deserted eastern gate.
"The building where I had class just now is closer to the east gate."
Shen Yuan made up an excuse on the spot. There was no other way, there were just too many people going in and out of the south gate, and Shen Yuan was genuinely afraid of being discovered by his classmates and advisor, Lih Xiao.
Moreover, he now had ties with Fang Minhui.
Shen Yuan didn\'t want to get caught.
Otherwise, the label of a scumbag might follow him for the rest of his college life.
"Oh, okay."
Chen Na nodded, not overthinking it, "So, where are we going now?"
"Let\'s go to IFC Mall."
"To IFC Center?"
Chen Na asked subconsciously.
But they were just going for a meal, was it necessary to go that far?
Although there are restaurants on the fifth floor of IFC Mall, it\'s famous because it has the most complete range of luxury stores in Star City.
Chen Na had also been there twice because it was a sacred aspiration for girls.
Which girl doesn\'t like designer bags and jewelry?
Unfortunately, Chen Na\'s salary was too meager to support her frequent visits to IFC Mall. Every time she went, the price tags on the bags made her feel both love and hate.
So now, Chen Na couldn\'t help but speculate, thinking about why they were going to IFC Mall out of the blue. Could Shen Yuan, the handsome guy, be planning to buy her a gift?
Because there was no need to go that far just for a meal when there were decent restaurants nearby.
Chen Na had witnessed Shen Yuan\'s spending behavior. The first time they met, he bought a Defender for 880,000 in full payment, and the second time was at the last gathering, where he directly transferred 700,000 to invest in the bar.
She had only met him twice, and already had seen him spend over a million!
What kind of high roller was he?
So Chen Na found it difficult not to think this way.
Should she accept it when the time comes, or not?
Chen Na\'s heart was suddenly torn, but seeing her hesitation, Shen Yuan smiled and said, "It\'s still early for dinner, so I was thinking of asking you to accompany me around IFC, my sister\'s birthday is coming soon, and I wanted to pick out a gift for her."
Sorry, Shen Xuan, for celebrating your birthday again, but I had no choice, the excuse was just too convenient.
"I see."
Chen Na immediately breathed a sigh of relief—it was just helping her sister pick out a gift.
With that thought, the weight on her heart lightened considerably.
She then released the handbrake, switched to drive mode, her slender legs pressed the accelerator, and she headed towards IFC Mall.
In the car, the two chatted happily, mainly because both had outgoing and cheerful personalities. Additionally, their ages weren\'t that far apart, separated by only five or six years, so they quickly found common topics of conversation.
Chen Na also hadn\'t expected that Shen Yuan actually knew quite a bit, mainly looking after her. The topics ranged from her car industry to beauty, jewelry, handbags—the usual interests of girls.
From time to time, he\'d crack a popular internet joke, making her laugh repeatedly, even affecting her driving a little.
Chen Na found Shen Yuan to be quite interesting. If it weren\'t for the fact that he had a girlfriend, Chen Na might actually consider him.
Age wasn\'t really an issue; weren\'t May-December romances in fashion now?
And as they arrived at the IFC Mall\'s underground garage, Shen Yuan noticed that Chen Na finally displayed her Feel-good Index towards him.
[Feel-good Index: 64]
Seeing the Feel-good Index appear, Shen Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that he couldn\'t evoke Chen Na\'s goodwill towards him during the trip.
Otherwise, the trip would\'ve been in vain.
After all, the system task required him to spend on an opposite sex with a Feel-good Index above 60 to get cashback; below 60, there\'d be none.
When the two got out of the car, Chen Na locked the doors, and when she looked up, she suddenly noticed many men and women in professional attire at the elevator entrance.
By the looks of it, they resembled the uniforms of a 4S shop.
Although she didn\'t know these people, they were clearly her peers.
It was then that Chen Na suddenly remembered that today was the third Monday of May, and that the Star City car dealers\' cooperation meeting was being held at IFC Mall. The general managers of each 4S store in Star City, including sales managers and after-sales managers, would be attending.
"Is something wrong?" Shen Yuan noticed Chen Na standing still and turned his head to ask.
"Nothing." Chen Na gave an apologetic smile and followed Shen Yuan\'s pace, thinking that it didn\'t matter to her if they were having a meeting; after all, she was just going to have a meal and chat with a client.
Once they reached the second floor, Shen Yuan took Chen Na for a stroll, passing by LV, Hermès, Chanel...
Giving gifts was all about catering to the recipient\'s taste, so Shen Yuan wanted to see which brand or product Chen Na\'s gaze lingered on a bit longer.
After all, Chen Na was not like Fang Minhui, who had never been to the luxury sections and found everything novel and exciting.
Having worked for so long, Chen Na had seen some of the world and definitely had her own preferences for brands and styles.
It wasn\'t until they passed by Prada that Shen Yuan noticed Chen Na\'s gaze stayed on a single-shoulder bag in the display window for quite some time, even turning back for another look after they had passed Prada.
It was a matte leather tote with a double drawstring, likely a newly launched style, and the price was steep, or else it wouldn\'t have been displayed in the most conspicuous position.
"Let\'s go have a look in Prada." Once he had a target, the task became a lot easier. Shen Yuan paused, then turned to enter Prada.
Chen Na hesitated briefly before following him in.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Shen. Welcome back!" The sales associate, Julia, greeted him with an enthusiastic voice and a beaming smile as she immediately stepped forward to welcome them.
Indeed, Julia had noticed Shen Yuan from afar and had been patiently waiting at the entrance for him to visit.
This was a major customer who once spent over fifty thousand in a single day!
However, to Julia\'s dismay, she was busy last time serving Miss Zhou and her "new associate," missing the chance to attend to Mr. Shen, like losing a watermelon for a sesame seed and thereby losing a big order.
This time she had no other customers, so she was determined to make a good impression on Mr. Shen.
When Shen Yuan saw it was Julia, he recalled being neglected last time and frowned a bit, "Isn\'t that Alisa working today?"
