The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 16 Respect Luo Yi first and then others

Half an hour later, Gu Heng looked at himself in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.

The clean, short, choppy eyebrows, paired with carefully shaped eyebrows, gave Gu Heng, who originally looked quite delicate, a more angular and sharp look.

Beneath his sword-like eyebrows, his bright, piercing eyes revealed a significant change in his overall demeanor.

"Mr. Gu, are you satisfied?"

The female hairstylist, Tony, helped Gu Heng remove the protective cloth and then asked him a question.

"very nice."

Gu Heng nodded in praise.

"That's good."

The female hairstylist Tony smiled even more broadly.

Clearly, she knew that with her skills, she had once again successfully gained a high-quality client.

Due to time constraints, Gu Heng left Mei Si Hair Salon after paying.

As requested by Gu Heng, Shen Jia, his personal shopping companion, began leading Gu Heng and Luo Xiwen toward the brand stores that offered top-tier menswear.

If you're looking to buy business menswear, then Armani is an essential brand to consider.

Because of marketing strategies, many Chinese people subconsciously believe that Armani is less prestigious than brands like LV, Burberry, and Versace.

This kind of understanding can be said to be both right and wrong.

The reason for this is that many people simply do not know that the Armani brand is actually divided into the main line Armani GA and the secondary line Armani EA.

The prices of the two are worlds apart.

The former refers to the high-end ready-to-wear line within the Armani brand.

The latter refers to regular ready-to-wear clothing from the Armani brand.

The prices of similar products can vary by as much as ten times.

If you compare Armani's main line products with brands like LV and Burberry, Armani completely dominates in the business menswear sector.

Gu Heng would have been completely unaware of so much knowledge if Luo Xiwen hadn't taken the initiative to introduce it to him.

Of course, Gu Heng didn't show it either.

As professional VIPs, Gu Heng and his entourage entered the Armani store and were naturally warmly welcomed by the many sales assistants.

Gu Heng had initially been somewhat looking forward to seeing some entertaining scenes of showing off and getting slapped in the face, but upon entering, he discovered that there were hardly any customers in the entire store, and they all seemed to be just browsing casually.

"Mr. Gu, would you like to wear a suit?"

Luo Xiwen's slender fingers brushed over the top-of-the-line menswear pieces as she asked Gu Heng a question.

"You can choose whichever you like."

"I'm not planning to wear a suit tonight, as that would be a bit too formal, but if I find a suitable one, I might as well buy two."

Gu Heng sat down on the sofa. There were four sales assistants around him, plus Shen Jia and Luo Xiwen. He just needed to sit on the sofa and wait, and try on the clothes that suited him.

"Ok."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xiwen resumed his serious selection process.

She looked at the clothes in front of her, each one more expensive than her monthly salary, and a complex expression flashed in her eyes.

Soon, Luo Xiwen selected a series of outfits suitable for Gu Heng.

Most of them consisted of shirts and trousers, with a few different styles of suits.

At the same time, Gu Heng began to frequently enter and exit the dressing room.

Every time she came out, she surprised Luo Xiwen, Shen Jia and the others.

As the saying goes, clothes make the man and a saddle makes the horse; there's always a reason why something is expensive.

After getting his hair and eyebrows trimmed, and now dressed in an expensive business suit, Gu Heng has undergone a complete transformation.

Finally, Gu Heng walked out of the dressing room.

The clothes he is wearing now are the ones he plans to wear to the banquet later.

It was a light brown business shirt with excellent drape, made entirely of mulberry silk, which shimmered under the light. The bottom was a pair of black trousers, the length of which fell just to the ankles, maintaining the perfect distance from the expensive leather shoes on his feet.

Seeing himself like this, Gu Heng felt as if he were in another world, not only to Luo Xiwen and the others, but even to himself when he looked at himself in the mirror.

Turning around, Gu Heng's gaze swept over the crowd.

The sales assistants looked at him with a slightly more reserved expression than before, though the feeling was subtle, it was definitely more pronounced.

"This is..."

"Respect the clothes before the person."

Gu Heng noticed the change in the sales assistants' eyes and suddenly realized something.

"That's all."

"Wrap them all up and calculate the price."

Gu Heng waved his hand, indicating that it was time to pay the bill.

Upon hearing this, the sales assistants were immediately overjoyed.

The clothes Gu Heng just bought might have taken them a week to sell during the off-season. Faced with such a big customer, the sales assistants not only worked exceptionally quickly, but also gave out every small gift they could within their authority.

Belts, ties, cufflinks, sunglasses, fragrances, perfumes...

It must be said that the Armani brand has a very wide range of interests.

Finally, Gu Heng swiped his card to pay and left the store, with a total bill of 14.3 yuan.

When Shen Jia arrived, her hands were empty; when she left, even her arms were covered with shopping bags.

"Um……"

"There is still plenty of time."

"We can also browse other brand stores later."

Gu Heng glanced at the time on his phone and saw that it was only six o'clock. He said to Shen Jia, "Why don't you take these shopping bags to my car first, and we can go buy some drinks?"

"Okay okay."

Shen Jia nodded repeatedly: "Mr. Gu, I'll be right back."

"Go."

"We'll be waiting for you at BaWangChaJi's place."

Gu Heng pointed to the store not far away and gestured to the other party.

"Ok."

Shen Jia responded and left quickly.

Gu Heng and Luo Xiwen strolled leisurely toward the BaWang ChaJi store.

"If we walk together like this, it won't seem out of place."

Suddenly, Gu Heng turned to Luo Xiwen and said this.

"Wha...what?"

Luo Xiwen was stunned for a moment and didn't react.

"Your attire was too business-like just now. Walking next to you, I looked like the silly son of a landlord."

Gu Heng smiled and said naturally, "It looks much more natural now, and they seem quite well-matched."

When Luo Xiwen heard the word "well-matched" from Gu Heng, her heart raced. She replied softly, "Mr. Gu, you look elegant in anything."

What time do you usually get off work at your private banking firm?

Five o'clock.

"Normally, you should be off work by now."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xiwen immediately waved his hand and said, "Mr. Gu, my job is to serve you well. You don't need to worry about my off-duty time."

"That's not what I meant."

Gu Heng waved his hand and said with a smile, "What I mean is, since we're off work, let's stop calling him Manager Luo and Mr. Gu all the time."

"Call us plants during work hours, but don't be so formal after get off work."

"I'll call you Xiwen, and you can call me Gu Heng, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Xiwen hesitated slightly.

"That's it."

Seeing this, Gu Heng made the decision immediately.

"Ok."

Luo Xiwen's rosy lips pursed slightly, and a hint of timidity appeared on her dignified and radiant face, creating an inexplicable sense of contrast.

The two chatted as they walked, and soon arrived at the BaWangChaJi store.

"Ouch!"

"so many people?"

Gu Heng's eyes widened slightly as he looked at the long queue inside.

"This is BaWangChaJi's first store in Jilin Province. It has only been open for a few days and is currently at its peak of popularity."

Luo Xiwen explained a few words to Gu Heng, and then said, "It's okay, I'll go buy you a drink if you want. You can rest outside."

"Um……"

"If it takes too long, then forget it."

Gu Heng thought for a moment and realized that his clothes were indeed not suitable for going in now. After all, he was going to a business banquet later, and it would be a bit embarrassing if his leather shoes were covered in shoe prints.

What would you like to drink?

"Just keep an eye on it."

"Ok."

Luo Xiwen nodded, then strode quickly into the BaWangChaJi store in her high heels.

Gu Heng stood still and looked around. When his gaze fell on a certain counter, a thought suddenly struck him, and he stepped towards it...
