"I don’t like any of these."
After spending a good half hour, Su Chen had finally looked through all the clothes...
Unfortunately, not a single piece caught his eye.
Most of the clothes seed too flashy and gaudy. Su Chen preferred sothing simpler.
Hearing Su Chen’s words, Mili’s heart tightened. When she caught sight of Ticky standing at the very back, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Mr. Su, perhaps you would consider a custom-tailored piece? As it happens, I’ve brought our company’s top tailor with !"
After speaking, she gestured for Ticky to co forward.
Su Chen’s interest was piqued when he heard "custom tailoring." It was said that custom pieces were the pinnacle of luxury, each one unique.
Su Chen saw a foreigner walk up to him. He was dressed in a standard tailor’s uniform—a dark suit vest over a white shirt. He looked like a professional tailor at a single glance.
"Sir, do you have any particular requirents for the clothes?" Ticky asked respectfully.
"Requirents..." Su Chen mulled it over, rubbing his chin with his right hand.
"Sothing simple. Not too many colors or patterns that look gaudy. But don’t make it look too old-fashioned, either. After all, I’m only in my twenties. I’m still young!"
Su Chen then glanced at the vest Ticky was wearing, paused for a mont, and then asked, "Can you make suits, too?"
Ticky nodded. "Of course. That’s my specialty."
They say a suit is a man’s most handso battle armor. No matter his body type, wearing one will turn him into a god.
"Alright then. Go ahead and make a few custom suits." Su Chen thought, ’I can’t just wear casual clothes all the ti...’
’If I have to attend an event or et soone important, a suit would look more formal.’
Hearing this, Ticky quickly pulled a small notebook and a tape asure from his pocket...
He started taking Su Chen’s asurents with the tape, not forgetting to jot down the numbers.
He asured him several tis over to confirm the numbers, then asked Su Chen a few questions about his wearing habits.
Once everything was confird, Ticky looked at Su Chen and said, "Sir, it will take about three days to produce the design sketches. I may have to bother you again then."
Su Chen shot a look at Jiang Hui, who was standing to the side...
Jiang Hui understood instantly. He quickly walked over to Ticky’s side and they exchanged contact information.
Seeing this, Mili shalessly sidled up and exchanged contact information with Jiang Hui as well, making it easier for her to reach Su Chen in the future.
As for calling Su Chen directly... she wouldn’t even dare to entertain the thought.
When she had received the call from President Emma, she had been repeatedly warned not to disturb Su Chen.
If he were dissatisfied in any way, her career would be over. That was why she had been on pins and needles this whole ti...
She was terrified of making so small mistake that would displease Su Chen.
Seeing Mili’s maneuvering, Su Chen didn’t say anything. He just stretched, and under everyone’s gaze, strolled leisurely back into the house with his hands behind his back.
Only after Su Chen had gone inside did Mili and the others start packing up the clothes.

"Sir, you could have just let handle a small matter like buying a car. There was no need for you to make the trip yourself!"
"It’s fine. I was just sitting around at ho anyway. It’s nice to get out for a change of scenery."
The driver of the luxury car-for-hire listened to their conversation, pursed his lips, a look of exasperation flashing in his eyes.
Especially when he saw the destination on his phone—"Imperial Capital Haidian District Rolls-Royce 4S Dealership"—he complained internally: ’I’ve seen people show off, but I’ve never seen anyone show off like this. It’s like they were professional posers in a past life, reincarnated specifically to act all high and mighty!’
But soon, the driver rembered where he had picked the two up from. His eyes shifted, and he glanced at the rearview mirror and said, "Gentlen, are you heading out to buy a car?"
Hearing the driver, Su Chen, who had been admiring the scenery outside the window, turned his gaze back inside.
"Yes. Why?"
Seeing Su Chen’s placid, rippleless eyes in the rearview mirror, the driver sohow... felt a slight sense of pressure.
He shook his head, assuming he was just tired from driving for too long and had imagined it.
"Ahem, I have a cousin who also works at a Rolls-Royce dealership. Hers is on the west side of the city, so it’s a bit far, but she can give you the best possible discount and service!"
"If you want to go there, I can take you for free!"
The driver wasn’t lying. He really did have a cousin who worked at Rolls-Royce. It’s just that she’d only been on the job for half a month and was still an intern.
’If she actually manages to sell a Rolls-Royce,’ he thought, ’my cousin will not only get her position confird early... but the commission will be at least five figures. It wouldn’t be unreasonable for to take half, right? That’s way faster than driving this car all day.’
’A plan to kill three birds with one stone!’
Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on the driver’s face.
But he didn’t see Su Chen in the rearview mirror, watching his entire smug fantasy play out on his face.
"Sure. Let’s go to the place you ntioned." With nothing better to do, Su Chen decided to add a little fun to this otherwise dull car-buying trip.
Hearing Su Chen’s reply, the smile on the driver’s face grew even wider. "You got it! Hold on tight, you two!"
With that, he stomped on the gas, and the car’s speed instantly hit eighty.
He drove like the wind, making the crowded streets of the Imperial Capital feel like an empty highway. They arrived in just half an hour.
Just as they were about to get out, the driver stopped them, asking them to wait in the car. He said he needed to call his cousin first to let her know, so they wouldn’t get intercepted by another salesperson.
Seeing the driver’s excited yet anxious expression, Su Chen found it both amusing and a little sad.
’It’s not easy for anyone trying to make a living.’
Jiang Hui had been about to speak, but when he saw Su Chen pull his hand back from the door handle, he knew his boss had agreed.
"Ah Li, are you busy right now? I brought a client over to look at cars. Quick, co out and et us!"
"Uh-huh, okay... okay, I got it!"
After hanging up, the driver turned to Su Chen and Jiang Hui. "Alright, guys, I’ll drive right in so you don’t have to walk!"
With that, he drove the car into the parking lot in front of the Rolls-Royce 4S dealership.
As soon as the car was parked and the three of them got out, a man in a security guard’s uniform walked over.
"Hey, hey, hey! No outside vehicles allowed here. Please leave imdiately."
When the guard saw the car was a BMW—a brand whose initials were a common joke for "Don’t Touch "—a sneer crossed his face. He clearly looked down on it.
"We’re here to look at cars!" the driver quickly explained.
"Look at cars?" The guard’s eyes swept over Su Chen and the others, his expression growing even more disdainful.
"Are you sure you’re in the right place? This is Rolls-Royce. If you want to buy a ’Don’t Touch ,’ there’s a dealership one kiloter down the road to the right!"
Hearing this, a vein bulged on the driver’s forehead. "You... My cousin is Chen Li! She works here! You think I don’t know if I’m at the right place? Watch it, or I’ll go to your manager and tell them you’re blocking custors. We’ll see if you can keep your pathetic job then!"
Hearing his job called "pathetic," the guard lost his cool. He didn’t care about so Chen Li or whatever-her-na-was; he imdiately started cursing up a storm.
Su Chen, however, just calmly leaned against the car, enjoying the show. He pulled a white pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one for himself, and offered one to Jiang Hui.
Jiang Hui jumped slightly at the gesture. He took the cigarette carefully with both hands, but instead of smoking it, he placed it inside his own cigarette case.
Seeing this, Su Chen chuckled and teased, "Old Jiang, you don’t have to be like that. If anyone saw, they’d think I was mistreating you!"
"Hehe, Sir, who would dare say such a thing! A cigarette this good, of course I have to save it to savor slowly later!"
Su Chen just smiled and shook his head, not dwelling on the small matter. Watching the drama was more important.
The argunt between the driver and the guard grew louder, attracting the attention of several onlookers.
Just then, a young woman of about twenty-four or twenty-five ran out of the Rolls-Royce dealership.
When the driver saw the young woman, he imdiately shouted, "Ah Li, I’m over here! Your moron of a security guard won’t let us in."
At this point, the guard also saw the na tag Chen Li was wearing. His arrogant deanor instantly dropped to freezing point, and he stood to the side, timid and not daring to speak.
"What’s going on?" Anyone who could get a job at Rolls-Royce had to have so capability.
The driver walked up to Chen Li and explained what had happened. Chen Li said a few words to the guard, telling him to return to his post, then turned her gaze toward Su Chen and Jiang Hui, who were watching the show.
After a couple of glances, she couldn’t discern anything special about them. She looked away, turning to her cousin with a hint of complaint in her eyes.
"Bro, you can’t just bring any random person to . I’ve only been an intern for half a month, and you’ve already brought three or four groups of people over. They were all just window-shopping, not a single real custor. My manager already had a talk with !"
"Don’t worry, this ti is different! They’re absolutely the real deal. They were originally going to the Rolls-Royce dealership in Haidian District. I had to talk my head off to convince them to co here. This is definitely not like the others!" the driver guaranteed, patting his chest.
Hearing this, Chen Li thought for a mont and ultimately decided to trust her cousin’s words.
She imdiately put on her professional smile and walked quickly up to Su Chen and Jiang Hui. "Hello, sir. My na is Chen Li, a sales consultant at Rolls-Royce. I’m happy to be of service!"
Su Chen dropped the nearly finished cigarette on the ground, stamped it out with his foot, and said, "Hello."
Chen Li took in this scene, but she was a little puzzled when she saw the white cigarette butt. It seed she had never seen that brand of cigarette before.
As sales consultants for a top luxury car brand like Rolls-Royce, they had to learn not only the vehicle specs but also how to identify a custor’s attire—the brands of their clothes, shoes, watches, and even the cigarettes they smoked.
From these details, they could deduce information about a client.
"May I have your last na, sir?"
"Su."
"Mr. Su, please, co inside. We just got a new shipnt of cars in. If you buy one, you can drive it away today!" Chen Li said, leading Su Chen and Jiang Hui into the dealership while also giving Su Chen a hint to test his reaction.
After all, many custors who bought a Rolls-Royce had to place an order and wait for so ti before it arrived. Having cars in stock was, of course, the best-case scenario.
However, she observed Su Chen carefully and saw not the slightest change in his expression. She sighed inwardly...
’Looks like the custor my cousin brought over is another tire-kicker... just here to look.’
