Chapter 1387 - 1385: Straight Man
Blue Sea Supermarket.
Claimed to be the largest and the most well-stocked supermarket in Ancheng.
There are only eight in Ancheng, distributed across various bustling areas.
The location of Blue Sea Supermarket, in other words, is like having a subway house in a school district; it can influence property prices.
Near the Blue Sea Supermarket, it certainly lacks no major supermarkets like Damo Supermarket and Bailian Supermarket.
Before the merger of the nine major families of Ancheng, these supermarkets were arch-enemies.
Even now, they are still competitors.
Though they are all under the Longyu Group’s umbrella, survival is what matters most.
Wei Xueqing changed into a casual outfit, white sneakers, blue sweatpants, and a matching top, looking youthful and energetic, lacking the cold aura she had in the office.
Yet, by her temperament, she still exudes an air of nobility. After all, her position is such that no matter how she changes her attire, her elevated status cannot be concealed.
In contrast, Ye Xin, giggling and cheerful, is just like an ordinary girl next door, but with her full and tall figure, no one can take their eyes off her.
To say who draws the most attention, it would undoubtedly be Meng Po.
A foreign monk reads well.
Such a beautiful foreign lady in the country is sure to attract a two hundred percent level of attention.
The group arrived at the supermarket, even causing a stir.
Fortunately, the fierce aura exuded by Night Fire, Purple Cultivator, and Gao Hong, combined with that dangerous vibe, made people dare only to watch from afar.
Seeing such a scene, many people speculated that these must be some family scions out for a stroll; otherwise, how could they be accompanied by such powerful bodyguards?
Looking at the bustling Blue Sea Supermarket, Wei Xueqing pushed a small cart, saying, "This is the supermarket with the best current business, with a large flow of people and high consumption. But just these eight supermarkets are far from enough. Next, I plan to merge and split with a few others, layout in other cities, and enter the national market!"
Yang Chen nodded slightly.
Actually, supermarkets are quite profitable, but not profitable enough.
The real profit point of a large chain supermarket lies in the ’chain’; only with enough chains can you hold up a sky and have sufficient profits.
Contrary, the supermarkets within Ancheng now are just small-time compared to those large supermarkets.
Blue Sea Supermarket and a few other brand supermarkets can only be considered the local bullies of Ancheng.
Ye Xin pulled over the cart, handed it to Yang Chen, and dragged Wei Xueqing away, saying, "Do you really think of yourself as a tough woman! No matter how strong a woman is, men should help with the work! What are you doing pushing the cart, that’s the men’s job! Besides, we’re here to have fun, to shop, stop thinking about work. I’m worried you might become a fool, just knowing how to work! What if you get anxiety!"
Wei Xueqing smiled wryly and helplessly, holding Ye Xin’s arm, said, "Alright! I won’t say anything, let’s just shop!"
"Look at the cosmetics counter! Let’s try it out!" Ye Xin, seeing the cosmetics counter ahead, excitedly dragged Wei Xueqing and jogged over.
Their actions instantly drew a lot of attention.
Two stunning beauties together are rare, even on TV, it’s hard to see such lovely women!
Upon reaching the counter, the sales staff was momentarily stunned by the sight of them!
"So beautiful!" The sales clerk couldn’t help but ask, "Are you two celebrities?"
"No! Why be a celebrity; it’s not free, nor does it pay well." Ye Xin chuckled and asked, "Do you have any of the latest cosmetics? The best ones!"
The sales clerk broke out in a cold sweat.
Celebrities don’t make money?
What are these two’s occupations?
Actually, Ye Xin’s words made sense.
With Wei Xueqing’s earning capacity, she could support the entire Flame Country entertainment industry by herself without any problem.
"Try this!" A salesperson nearby approached, holding an instrument, "This is the latest nano skin detector. The acne, mites on your face... will all be revealed with this. This way, you can condition your skin based on its characteristics, without blindly buying skincare or makeup products!"
Ye Xin and Wei Xueqing merely glanced at her and shook their heads simultaneously.
Given their statuses and what they’ve experienced, such low-level tricks couldn’t deceive them.
"Honestly, you should really try; the results are great!" The salesperson persisted.
Just then, Yang Chen and Night Fire approached, encircling Ye Xin and Wei Xueqing.
The four of them standing there were like the four great heavenly kings, with even the shortest Gao Hong standing at least 1.8 meters tall! With their menacing aura, it would frighten even men, let alone women!
The saleswoman with the detector glanced at the four, swallowed hard, and quietly slipped away.
Yang Chen glanced and asked, "Are you out of cosmetics? If you are, I can have Frank buy some from Lancy Country for you."
"No need!" Ye Xin glanced at Yang Chen, "We just like buying here!"
Yang Chen, unsure of the situation, shrugged and said no more.
For women, shopping is a natural desire; they like shopping and enjoy the process. And although Yang Chen said Frank could bring them top-tier cosmetics from Lancy Country, they weren’t interested, but rather wanted the experience, the fun of picking cosmetics in the supermarket with a friend!
This is something Yang Chen, a straightforward guy, naturally couldn’t understand.
"How’s the effect of this?" Ye Xin picked up a cosmetic and asked the clerk.
The clerk was trembling, nervously saying, "Uh... Do you... really need it?"
"Try it out! How would we know if it works without trying!" Ye Xin said helplessly.
"I think this lipstick color is nice." Wei Xueqing also picked out a lipstick.
Ye Xin eagerly had Wei Xueqing try it.
Applied on the lips, it instantly enhanced her appearance.
But Ye Xin shook her head, saying, "The color is nice, but the lipstick quality is too poor and crumbly. What’s the shade number, let’s remember it and buy another brand."
Wei Xueqing checked and found the lipstick quality intolerable, wiped it off, and took out her diamond-studded limited edition Guerlain lipstick from her bag to reapply, making the clerk’s eyes go wide as she couldn’t help but ask, "Excuse me, is that the Guerlain edition?"
Looking at her, Wei Xueqing smiled and nodded, "Yes, a friend gave it to me."
This was a gift from Frank, as the collaboration deepened, Frank’s attitude towards Wei Xueqing improved dramatically, occasionally gifting her top-tier items, under the guise of: enhancing taste!
In his view, apart from Yang Chen, the Shangdong Group folks all had poor taste!
