Chapter 1211: A Meeting of Minds
Su Chen and the others naturally returned to their rooms to cultivate. Around eight o'clock, the project manager personally brought four or five people over to repair the house!
He didn't dare delay when it came to Su Chen's matters!
These people were quite efficient, and it didn't take long for things to be mostly settled!
Of course, this was also because, aside from the main door, there were only two or three places damaged, so the repairs weren't too complicated.
In the afternoon, Su Chen received a call from Xia Qiuru and drove to the company.
When he arrived downstairs at the company, Xia Qiuru was already waiting there.
Seeing Su Chen's car, she smiled slightly, opened the car door, and got in.
Su Chen then drove away from there, heading to a large department store.
They originally planned to visit Jade Street, but after some thought, Su Chen realized that place mainly sold to experts. In terms of exquisite appearance, a large department store might be better!
After all, this gift was for Xia Qiuru's mother as a birthday present. Since the recipient was just an ordinary rural woman, she would be happier to see something with a more beautiful appearance!
Su Chen's intention was to make the recipient happier, and monetary considerations were irrelevant to him!
After parking the car in the mall's parking lot, the two took the elevator up.
"Qiuru, for Auntie's birthday, should we go back and help organize a birthday party for her?"
Su Chen asked casually in the elevator.
"No need, it's just a casual birthday, not a significant one. If we make it too grand, she might feel uncomfortable."
Xia Qiuru said:
"I can't go back to accompany her, buying a birthday gift to show my care is enough."
"Alright, I'll follow your lead then."
Su Chen said with a smile.
Not long after, the two reached the floor where gold, silver, and jade items were sold, and walked into one of the largest jade stores.
The variety here was quite abundant, offering items at various prices, with the most expensive ones costing hundreds of thousands!
Xia Qiuru was a bit dazzled and began to choose carefully.
"Hello, could you please take out this jade pendant for me to see?"
Xia Qiuru pointed at one through the display window, feeling that this jade pendant was quite suitable for her mother!
"Miss, this is a bean-green jade, priced at 160,000!"
The attendant took out the jade pendant and said.
"Ah, so expensive? Then forget it!"
Xia Qiuru quickly said, having only focused on the design and neglected to notice the price earlier.
It's not that she was unwilling to spend the money; with her current annual salary of one or two million, she could afford this!
But if she bought it, her mother would be scared stiff!
She'd probably have to buy a safe to keep it in, not daring to wear it!
She knew her mother well, and at that time, it wouldn't be a pleasant surprise but a shock!
"Just go with this one."
Su Chen chuckled, guessing Xia Qiuru's thoughts, and said:
"You can just tell Auntie it cost a few thousand yuan. She wouldn't know the difference."
Xia Qiuru thought about it and realized it could work since her mother knew nothing about jade and certainly wouldn't get it appraised!
As Xia Qiuru prepared to pay, Su Chen had already handed over a bank card.
"What do you mean by this?"
Xia Qiuru pursed her lips and said.
"You picked the gift and I paid for it. This way, both our intentions are included!"
Su Chen said with a smile.
Hearing this, Xia Qiuru suddenly felt bashful, though her heart was filled with sweetness.
"Alright, I'll give you this opportunity!"
Xia Qiuru raised her elegant neck and said.
She knew this amount of money was nothing to Su Chen, so it wasn't worth quibbling over.
"Thank you, Miss Xia, for granting me this opportunity!"
Su Chen said jovially.
As soon as the words fell, both the female attendant and Xia Qiuru burst into laughter!
Seeing the attendant laugh only made Xia Qiuru more embarrassed, her face slightly flushed...
After paying, the female attendant packed the jade pendant and handed it to Xia Qiuru.
...
Since it was rare for her to sneak out of work, Xia Qiuru decided to stroll around a bit longer and bought two more sets of clothes for her parents!
Of course, at this time, Su Chen could only act as the free labor!
"Qiuru, let's go inside here and take a look!"
While wandering, they arrived at the entrance of a store, and Su Chen's eyes suddenly lit up!
Xia Qiuru was walking forward but turned her head after hearing Su Chen's words.
Upon looking, Xia Qiuru's face instantly turned red again!
Because Su Chen was talking about a lingerie store, more precisely, a lingerie store with intimate apparel!
Xia Qiuru hadn't even walked inside, but just looking from the outside, the clothes hanging inside were already enough to make her blush and her heart race!
Because they were truly eye-catching, weren't they!
Xia Qiuru originally wanted to leave, but she couldn't resist this mischievous fellow Su Chen and was still "tricked" by him into going inside!
Upon entering, Xia Qiuru didn't dare lift her head, only feeling her face blazing hotly!
After a while, Xia Qiuru noticed some other customers in the store, easing her anxious mood slightly!
Looking at Su Chen again, she found this guy was looking around with great interest. Sometimes nodding, sometimes shaking his head, just like appreciating famous paintings at an art exhibition!
Xia Qiuru was truly speechless; this mischievous guy was really a marvel!
No, rather, he was simply a thorough rascal!
Soon, Su Chen finished looking around, holding two garments and walking over to Xia Qiuru with a smile:
"Try these two on; they will definitely suit you!"
Xia Qiuru really wanted to say, "Suit you, you big-headed ghost. If anything suits, it's probably you getting up to mischief, you bad guy!"
Although Xia Qiuru didn't want to try them on, for sure out of embarrassment, she still went into the fitting room under Su Chen's encouragement!
Initially, Su Chen thought of going in to help her check them out, but was firmly stopped by Xia Qiuru!
With no other choice, Su Chen had to wait outside...
He was thinking about bringing his other girlfriends over sometime to see which styles and designs suited everyone!
After all, it could add more fun to life!
...
In the fitting room, Xia Qiuru looked at herself in the mirror, her face practically dripping water from embarrassment!
They looked good, but were still too bold!
Fortunately, such clothes allow one to check the effect inside the fitting room, with a mirror provided to protect privacy!
But thinking about how much Su Chen enjoyed it made Xia Qiuru, although feeling very shy, decide to let it go!
She thought about telling Ruoxue, Hanbing, and the others about it later. If everyone bought some, perhaps it wouldn't be as embarrassing!
Now, all their women could talk about any intimate topic.
Her idea coincidentally aligned with Su Chen's intentions. If Su Chen found out, he'd probably be overjoyed!
