Chapter 208: Chapter 173 The Greedy Widow
Akihabara’s sunshine filters through the colorful billboards, casting patchy shadows on the ground.
This place is not only a paradise for ani fans but also a source of joy for n.
When Chen Cheng and his two companions stood in front of the green building, Tong Jialu and Xia Yubing looked up at the sign overhead and turned to Chen Cheng, who had one hand in his pocket, in astonishnt.
“Brother Cheng, how did you know about this place?”
Xia Yubing also said, “I thought you were here to buy figurines.”
Chen Cheng: “Just walking around, quite curious.”
Lord He’s departnt store, true to its na, spans seven floors, all filled with emotion-related rchandise.
From B1 to 6F, each floor offers different categories of goods.
The elevator’s guide signs even label the products sold on each floor in Chinese, Japanese, and English.
The top two floors are TAX-FREE.
As soon as you enter the store, a surge of adrenaline and the ensuing palpitations hit you.
Unlike similar stores back ho where people are accustod to ordering online with private shipping,
here, everything is displayed openly for custors to choose from.
On the first floor’s corporate platform, there are even live models performing, attracting custors ranging from girls in JK uniforms to won in their thirties and even older folks.
Of course, not all of them co for curiosity or needs; the store’s health products are also available.
As Chen Cheng and the others leisurely strolled, Xia Tong and her companion felt sowhat embarrassed.
Despite their usual playful deanor, they are inherently reserved.
“This little bell looks nice, doesn’t it?” Chen Cheng deliberately asked, “Does it ring when you shake it?”
Tong Jialu turned her head away, pretending not to hear, while Xia Yubing blushed and whispered, “If you really want to play with it, you can.”
Chen Cheng raised his eyebrows and wrapped his arm around Xia Yubing’s waist, continuing to walk forward.
Tong Jialu quickly followed, worried that Chen Cheng might impulsively buy sothing that even she couldn’t accept.
The trio made their way to the sixth floor, where colorful and diverse styles of lingerie filled the racks.
Compared to the previous floors, this one seed to relax them a bit.
Xia Yubing picked up a pink sheer long dress and held it in front of herself, turning to Chen Cheng behind her, “Husband, how do you think this looks?”
“I haven’t seen you wear this color before. Isn’t it a bit delicate?”
anwhile, Tong Jialu picked up a piece of clothing with a bow tied at the chest, looked in the mirror, and muttered to herself, “How do you even wear this?”
Chen Cheng glanced at it and noted the garnt, made almost entirely of thin strings, seed like it was all head openings.
Xia Yubing walked over and said, “This won’t work.”
“What’s wrong, sis?”
“Your belly fat is all showing.”
Just as Xia Yubing finished speaking, Tong Jialu’s face instantly turned red to her ears, and she angrily stomped her foot, retorting, “No way! That’s just from eating too much! It’s not belly fat!”
Xia Yubing smiled lightly, seemingly having gotten her revenge for sothing that bothered her before leaving ho.
Chen Cheng found the exchange between the two entertaining.
Spotting her chance, Tong Jialu ran to Chen Cheng’s side, “Husband, do I have belly fat?”
Chen Cheng chuckled and pinched the slightly protruding belly over her denim shorts, “Isn’t this proof of happiness?”
Tong Jialu’s eyes brightened instantly, and she buried her head in his chest, her voice slightly coquettish, “Brother Cheng, you always know how to make people happy.”
Seeing this, Xia Yubing pouts her cool lips and grabs a French-style wire-free set from a nearby rack, “Husband, do you think I look good in this?”
Chen Cheng admired the intricate lace work, “This is quite nice, very fitting for your style.”
“Then I’m getting this one.”
Tong Jialu also hurriedly picked a set, “Brother Cheng, what about this one? And this one?”
Chen Cheng looked at the garnt, made up of barely any fabric, and teased, “Why not just use a couple of band-aids?”
“You’re so bad, Brother Cheng!” Tong Jialu laughed, stomping her feet.
Ding ding ding.
Chen Cheng’s phone rang amidst Tong Jialu’s laughter.
He took it out and saw the caller was i Xiang, whom he had just t over four hours ago.
Chen Cheng answered.
“Made up your mind?” he asked.
i Xiang paused for a mont, “Mr. Chen, can we et again? There’s sothing I need to discuss with you in person.”
Chen Cheng agreed, “Of course. I’m currently near Akihabara.”
“I’ll co to you.”
“Alright, I’ll give you a location.”
After hanging up, Chen Cheng told the others, “You two go ahead and shop freely. I’ll find a place, then you co over.”
Xia Tong and her companion nodded, and Chen Cheng turned and left the departnt store.
Akihabara offers not only ani and adult departnt stores but also a plethora of maid cafes.
Shortly after leaving, Chen Cheng was approached by a young lady in uniform trying to attract custors.
Unable to understand Japanese, he simply smiled and declined.
Checking his phone for the nearest Starbucks, he found one on the third floor of Atre and hurried over.
He ordered an Aricano and a cappuccino for i Xiang and sent her the location.
About twenty minutes later, i Xiang arrived.
Chen Cheng waved, and she quickly sat down.
“Not knowing your preference, I randomly got a cup,” he said, pushing the cappuccino toward i Xiang with a smile, “So, is there any good news?”
With a sowhat solemn expression, i Xiang took out from her bag the docunts Chen Cheng had previously requested during their ti in Beijing.
“Mr. Chen, here are the docunts you asked for last ti; they’re all here.”
Chen Cheng nodded.
i Xiang took a deep breath and continued, “Regarding the 8% you proposed, I’ve managed to persuade most of the shareholders.”
