Lu Shao is cunning; Miss Nan has fallen for his tricks again.

Chapter 41 The High-Profile Nan Xu and Zhou Zan
Nan Xu smiled helplessly.

“It’s okay, we’re both the same size, you can choose first.” Nan Xu pointed to the clothes on the clothes rack opposite her.

Zhou Zan gave Nan Xu a wink. "Since you've said that, I can't refuse."

Nan Xu smiled and shook her head. Zhou Zan was the epitome of someone who got a good deal but still acted innocent.

Zhou Zan chose two dresses and a black coat that she liked.

"Okay, I'll choose these two." Zhou Zan handed the selected clothes to the sales assistant behind her.

Nan Xu stepped forward and casually glanced at them. "I don't want this skirt, and I don't want those pants. Wrap up the rest."

Several sales assistants quickly stepped forward to help pack the items.

When she went downstairs to pay at the cashier, the sales assistant stopped her again, saying, "Ms. Nan, these have already been charged to Lu's account, you don't need to pay."

Looking at the dozen or so shopping bags by the checkout counter, Nan Xu felt a bit of a headache. She still had three bags of skincare products that she had just bought.

The sales assistant noticed Nan Xu's concerns and said, "If you find it troublesome, Ms. Nan, we can deliver to your door."

Nan Xu remembered that her car was parked in the underground parking garage on the first basement level. "No need, my car is on the first basement level. Can you help me bring it down?"

"Of course," the sales assistant agreed, and then took a bag and prepared to follow Nanxu downstairs.

Nan Xu and Zhou Zan went down the escalator hand in hand, followed by four sales assistants, each carrying a T-brand bag in both hands.

The grand and imposing sight attracted the attention of many customers coming and going.

A few people huddled together whispering, "Who are these two people? Why is a sales assistant from T brand personally carrying their bags?"

"I don't know. Look at that curly-haired beauty. She's holding a brand new bag from Cartier, which is really hard to buy." The woman stomped her foot as she spoke.

It's obvious they didn't manage to snag the new Cartier bag.

The surrounding chatter grew louder, and Zhou Zan felt uncomfortable under the scrutinizing gazes.

Zhou Zan felt a little embarrassed. "Why are they all staring at us?"

"Because we were too high-profile," Nan Xu said with certainty.

Soon, they took the elevator to the basement level.

Nanxu opened the front trunk of the car and put the shopping bags in her hands into it. The sales assistant followed Nanxu's shopping bags and put all the clothes into the front trunk one by one.

"Everything is ready, Miss Nan," the sales assistant said.

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you."

"No trouble at all. It's our honor that you like our brand's clothes."

That's someone the Lu Group's president cares about; she might just be the future Mrs. Lu.

She usually needs to speak well of him to President Lu.

Nan Xu and Zhou Zan got into the car and prepared to drive away.

"Hey, who's this?" A malicious voice reached Nan Xu and Zhou Zan's ears.

Nan Xu frowned slightly. Turning her head, she saw a tall, red-haired beauty standing next to the car.

Nan Xu sneered and lowered the convertible top so that Zhou Zan couldn't see her clearly.

Nan Xu placed her hand on the window, raised an eyebrow at the person standing next to the car, and asked, "Haiyan'er, are you talking to me?"

Haili stomped her foot in exasperation and said, "My name is no longer Haiyan'er, it's Haili!"

Haiyan'er was Haili's original name; she was Hailong's youngest daughter.

In recent years, under the leadership of Hai Qingyi, Hai Yan'er's brother, the Hai family has surpassed the Nan family.

The two have never gotten along. Ten years have passed since they first met, and they are still at odds.

“Haiyan’er is Haiyan’er, not Haili.” Nan Xu said sarcastically.

Hailey snorted and said smugly, "I'm not going to lower myself to your level. I heard that Nanyu recently started a new project. It seems to be quite profitable."

Nan Xu didn't care at all, saying, "So what if I lose money? It doesn't matter."

Seeing that Nan Xu didn't care at all, Hai Li's smug face showed a hint of confusion. "That's your family's company. If your family goes bankrupt, let's see how smug you'll still be!"

Nan Xu was too lazy to pay attention to her.

Zhou Zan immediately mocked, "Have you forgotten what your brother said a few years ago? Your older brother said that as long as A-Xu wants to, she can marry into your Hai family anytime."

Speaking of Hai Qingyi, he can be considered a great romantic.

He met Nan Xu once when he was eighteen, and has been pursuing her ever since. Now, ten years later, he still hasn't given up.

Zhou Zan, not forgetting to kill her by adding insult to injury, also added, "If she marries into the Hai family, you'll have to call her sister-in-law." Hai Li angrily opened the car door and got in.

Nanxu immediately started the accelerator, not forgetting to amplify the engine noise to provoke Haili.

Haili stared at the exhaust fumes from Nanxu's sports car and slammed her hand on the steering wheel.

After having lunch with Zhou Zan, Nan Xu took Zhou Zan back to her studio.

Feeling bored, Nan Xu went to the Lu Group building to find Lu Zhiyan. She was going to fly to Yaocheng in a couple of days.

Take these few days to cultivate your relationship with Lu Zhiyan.

At 2 PM, Nan Xu called Lu Zhiyan to confirm how many people were in the company.

Lu Zhiyan looked at the document and replied, "Why are you asking this?"

Nan Xu sat in the car and said, "I'm going to see you and order some afternoon tea for your employees while I'm at it."

"So kind of you?" Lu Zhiyan joked.

"So, these afternoon teas are nothing compared to T's current autumn collection?"

"Okay, I'll ask my secretary for the exact number of people later and then send it to you via WeChat."

"Okay, I'm hanging up." With that, he hung up the phone.

Lu Zhiyan looked at the phone that had been hung up and shook his head helplessly.

He's getting more and more insensible; he hadn't even finished speaking.

A short while later, Lu Zhiyan sent the exact number of people to Nan Xu via WeChat.

She ordered coffee from the café next to the Lu family building and also ordered cakes for each employee.

This afternoon tea cost Nanxu over 100,000 yuan.

Nanxu didn't see much change in this number.

100,000 yuan can only buy two T-shirts, but she collected sixteen new T-shirts from Lu Zhiyan.

Nanxu sent a message to Lu Zhiyan: How do I get up there?

Lu Zhiyan: I'll have Secretary Li come down to pick you up.

Nanxu: Okay, let's find a few more people. There's also the afternoon tea I bought.

Lu Zhiyan: Okay.

Nanxu first asked the shop assistant to pack the coffee and cake into a box.

It wasn't long before everything was packed up.

As soon as Nan Xu entered the building, a young man wearing glasses stopped her and asked, "Excuse me, are you Miss Nan?"

"I am." Nan Xu had already guessed that the person standing in front of her must be Lu Zhiyan's secretary.

Secretary Li bowed slightly. "Mr. Lu is waiting for you in his office. Is this the afternoon tea you bought?" Secretary Li pointed to the boxes that the shop assistant behind her was carrying.

Nan Xu nodded. "Yes, take them and distribute them. One for each person."

Secretary Li stepped aside to let Nan Xu pass, saying, "Please come this way."

"Distribute all these things," Secretary Li said to the assistant standing behind him.

The assistants stepped forward and took the boxes from the shop assistants.

Secretary Li led Nanxu onto the elevator.

Several receptionists were chattering amongst themselves, "Who is that? Why did Secretary Li come down to greet him personally?"

"I don't know, they're probably Mr. Lu's friend or something. I think they even brought afternoon tea."

Another receptionist retorted, "Nonsense, I've been with this company for three years and I've never seen Mr. Lu with any female friends. He's probably a girlfriend."

The secretary, who had just been carrying afternoon tea, handed the coffee and cake she had bought to the receptionist, saying, "Don't discuss this nonsense; President Lu won't be happy if he hears it."

The group laughed sheepishly.

After taking the coffee and cake, one of the girls pointed to the price tag and said, "Such an expensive little cake! 89 for such a small piece?"

"That's true, but it's not much money for Mr. Lu."

While enjoying cake and afternoon tea, the group started chatting about other topics.
