Chapter 312: The Great President Fu Tries on Clothes for Someone Else
"This is the same style as the one on the mannequin. You’re buying it for this gentleman, right? This size should be a perfect fit."
Since they were looking at menswear, the sales associate subconsciously assumed she was buying it for the man with her.
Fu Ze rubbed his nose, a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Although he knew it was almost certainly not for him, his heart still felt a little sour. But he couldn’t say it out loud.
"No, no, you’ve misunderstood. I’m buying it for my brother, but he’s about the same build as him."
’If it fits Fu Ze, it’ll definitely fit my brother too.’
The sales associate paused for a moment before quickly adjusting her expression. "Alright, if your brother has a similar build to this gentleman, this size should work."
"If he tries it on at home and it doesn’t fit, you can bring the receipt back to exchange the size."
"Since your brother and President Fu have similar builds, why not ask President Fu to help try it on?"
Yun Zijin, who loved to stir the pot, suddenly made a suggestion.
Qin Sitong whipped her head around to look at Yun Zijin, clearly not expecting her to make such a suggestion.
"No problem. If there’s anything else you like, I can help try it on."
Poor President Fu. At twenty-eight years old, this was his first time trying on clothes just for the size.
The kicker was that he was trying it on for someone else. Even if it fit him perfectly, it wouldn’t be his in the end.
But to win the beauty’s heart in the end, he was willing to go all out.
Fu Ze took the shirt from the mannequin display directly from the sales associate’s hands and headed for the fitting room.
’I haven’t even said anything yet! How did things take such an unexpected turn?’
"There’s a sofa over here. You two can sit down and rest for a bit."
"It’s fine, we’ll look around some more. We might find something else we like."
Yun Zijin pulled Qin Sitong along, and they started browsing the store in earnest.
’Come to think of it, I’ve never really given Lu Yunque a proper gift. Maybe I can pick something out today and surprise him.’
The sales associate just followed them quietly. If they picked something they liked, she would proactively take it to hold for them.
Qin Sitong later picked out a tie and a tie clip.
Yun Zijin, on the other hand, chose a pair of cufflinks and a brooch.
Just then, Fu Ze walked out of the fitting room.
Fu Ze had been wearing a pure white shirt and a suit jacket.
Now, having changed into the black shirt Qin Sitong had just picked out, his whole aura transformed from that of a gentle, refined nobleman to a cold-faced, black-bellied, overbearing CEO.
"President Fu looks so good in it. When you get home and give it to your brother, what if he can’t pull off the same look? Wouldn’t that be awkward?"
Yun Zijin whispered in Qin Sitong’s ear.
After all, Fu Ze was a representative figure in Dijing’s elite circles. His entire aura wasn’t something an ordinary person could compare to.
Among all the people Yun Zijin had met recently, no one could surpass him except for Lu Yunque and his group.
Qin Sitong had felt the same way the moment she saw Fu Ze walk out of the fitting room.
She suddenly felt that asking President Fu to try on the clothes had been a terrible idea.
After all, though Qin Sitong didn’t want to admit it, she had to: her brother probably couldn’t pull off the same look as Fu Ze.
If she bought it for her brother, every time she saw him wear it, she would be reminded of how Fu Ze looked in it, and it would feel like her brother was making a clumsy imitation.
’This is going to be so awkward.’
"Haha... I think I’ll pick a different one."
’I’d better not have Fu Ze try on clothes for me anymore. It’s simply an invisible blow to my brother.’
"It fits you perfectly, sir! And it suits your aura so well. You’re honestly the best-looking customer I’ve seen in this shirt."
The sales associate beside them was not stingy with her praise at all, practically praising him to the heavens.
"Miss Qin, what do you think?"
Fu Ze was more concerned with Qin Sitong’s opinion.
"It looks great, haha!"
’It’s just that my brother can’t pull off this look. I’d better not let him humiliate himself.’
"So you’ll take this one?"
The sales associate asked tentatively.
"No, we’ll get a different one. This one. Could you get it for me in the same size as the last one? Just bag it up and we’ll pay."
Both the sales associate and Fu Ze were dumbfounded, not understanding the situation.
’He looked so good in it, so why does she want to switch to another one?’
But the customer is always right. The sales associate moved nimbly, quickly grabbing and bagging the shirt according to Qin Sitong’s wishes.
"Why did you change your mind?"
Fu Ze wanted to know the reason, or else he wouldn’t be able to sleep soundly tonight.
"President Fu, sometimes being too outstanding can also be a fault."
Fu Ze’s face was a question mark; he didn’t understand what Yun Zijin meant.
But since Qin Sitong didn’t want it, Fu Ze could only go back to the fitting room and change back into his own clothes.
In the end, Qin Sitong didn’t buy the shirt Fu Ze had tried on. Instead, she bought a shirt she had hastily picked out later—a black one with two white stripes on the chest—along with a tie and a tie clip.
Yun Zijin, for her part, bought a pair of cufflinks and a brooch.
Unbeknownst to Yun Zijin and Qin Sitong, Fu Ze sent a message to his assistant, telling him to go to the store they had just been in and buy the shirt he had tried on.
’Even though Qin Sitong didn’t buy it for me, if I round up, doesn’t it count as her picking it out for me?’
Yun Zijin and Qin Sitong were purely out to have fun today. After a tour of the mall didn’t feel like enough, they ran off to the nearest arcade.
It was Fu Ze’s first time in a place like an arcade. His formal suit seemed completely out of place there.
An ordinary person in a suit might be mistaken for an insurance salesman, but Fu Ze in a suit only made people think that some overbearing CEO had descended to the mortal realm.
Yun Zijin and Qin Sitong weren’t interested in anything else, but they were particularly obsessed with the claw machines.
Yet the two rookies went through who knows how many game tokens, feeding them all to the claw machine without catching a single small doll.
Fu Ze couldn’t watch any longer and stepped up himself.
"President Fu, have you played this before?"
"No."
"It’s okay, if you can’t get one, just forget it. We don’t absolutely have to get a doll."
Qin Sitong had been getting a bit carried away, but seeing Fu Ze, her head cleared instantly.
Remembering how she had been going crazy over the claw machine just now, Qin Sitong covered her face. ’So embarrassing!’
At first, Fu Ze couldn’t get it either, but the man had a knack for it. After failing twice, he learned from his mistakes, and on the third try, he steadily grabbed one.
After that, he managed to get a doll on almost every try.
’This skill level... it’s about the same as Lu Yunque’s last time.’
In the end, Qin Sitong and Yun Zijin each left with an armful of dolls, basking in the envious gazes of the people around them as they departed stylishly.
"President Fu, have you ever been to an arcade before?"
Qin Sitong was too shy to speak much in front of Fu Ze, so it was always Yun Zijin who started the conversation.
"Today’s my first time. It’s quite novel."
’If it were just him and Qin Sitong today, it would be even more perfect.’
If Yun Zijin knew what Fu Ze was thinking, she would definitely have told him, ’Without me, you wouldn’t have even been able to ask her out.’
"It’s about that time. I’m heading to Lu Family. What are your plans?"
Yun Zijin glanced at her watch.
