Zhou Bin's voice came through, carrying a hint of provocation.
An Xin frowned slightly and glanced over to see Zhou Bin standing with Chu Xinxin.
Today, Chu Xinxin was wearing a crop top and a short skirt, showcasing her figure in full glory. An Xin couldn't help but feel a flash of admiration upon seeing it.
Gao Qilan immediately took An Xin's hand, looking somewhat flustered and tense.
Even if she couldn't afford it, she could tell how luxurious the outfit Chu Xinxin was wearing was; the fabric alone wasn't something that could be bought for a few hundred dollars.
And yet, her own outfit cost just over a hundred, which made her feel inexplicably inferior in front of Chu Xinxin.
After noticing Chu Xinxin's nervousness, An Xin quickly comforted her: "Is there anything else you want to buy?"
"No, should we go out for some milk tea?"
Gao Qilan wanted to leave directly to avoid interaction with Chu Xinxin.
"Why are you leaving as soon as you see me? I'm not some kind of monster!"
Chu Xinxin, unaffected by Zhou Bin's provocation, walked towards them with a smile on her face.
"What a coincidence to meet you guys here."
It wasn't a coincidence at all; Zhou Bin had deliberately arranged to be here after finding out about An Xin's whereabouts!
"Xinxin!"
Zhou Bin, seeing Chu Xinxin approach them with a smile, spoke in disbelief.
This wasn't the scene he had imagined. According to his plan, Chu Xinxin should have been glaring at An Xin and then storming off in anger.
After all, this was the first time Chu Xinxin had fallen for someone. If she knew he had a girlfriend, she wouldn't be so indifferent now.
"Just buying a few clothes for my girlfriend."
An Xin spoke calmly.
"I didn't expect to see you here, senior. Just pick whatever you like, and I'll pay for it all."
An Xin spoke generously. This was his store after all, and even if he wanted to buy everything inside, he had the means to do so!
"Really? I love all the clothes in this store."
Chu Xinxin said excitedly. An Xin had noticed early on that Chu Xinxin's outfit today was purchased from this store.
"This store is planning to open branches. I've had my dad come here to investigate, but we haven't been able to meet the owner, so it's been put aside."
Under the influence of her family, Chu Xinxin had long seen the potential for growth in this store.
Especially since the designer's vision was unique, each new collection setting trends among the wealthy.
There's a saying, the easiest money to make comes from the elderly, children, and sick people.
Chu Xinxin didn't want to miss this opportunity. She sighed meaningfully.
Zhou Bin immediately spoke up.
"It's just about opening a store, Xinxin. Tell me where you want it, and I'll buy it for you!"
Zhou Bin eagerly wanted to show off his wealth in front of Chu Xinxin, acting more like a nouveau riche than a gentleman!
"No need, my family has money. If you can help me find the owner, that would be great."
Since she intended to invest in a branch, meeting the owner was crucial to finalize the deal.
Chu Xinxin had estimated that this store, located in one of Jinghai's busiest streets, could achieve an annual net profit of at least one small goal even without any additional investments.
Even if she couldn't open a store here, with these exquisite designs, she was sure to make a fortune!
"It's just about finding the owner, right? I'll ask around for you."
Zhou Bin said nonchalantly.
If it were just about finding an owner, why bother?
Couldn't he just ask the sales staff?
Zhou Bin snapped his fingers, and a salesperson hurried over: "How can I assist you, sir?"
"Call your boss out; I want to discuss a partnership with him."
Zhou Bin spoke arrogantly.
The sales staff looked at Zhou Bin differently now.
"I'm sorry, but we can't help you with that."
"I'm here to discuss a partnership with your boss. Are you turning down easy money?"
Zhou Bin frowned, clearly displeased.
"It's not like that; we've never met the boss since the store opened."
The salesperson replied helplessly. They had never encountered someone demanding to see their boss to discuss a partnership before.
Chu Xinxin also felt speechless on the side. She indeed wanted to find the store's owner for cooperation, but not in such a forceful manner.
If asking the staff could lead to the owner's information, why had she waited so long?
"It's just a store; why is the owner so mysterious?"
Zhou Bin complained, feeling aggrieved. If it weren't for Chu Xinxin's wish to find the owner, he would never have come here!
Gao Qilan listened to their conversation, her gaze inadvertently falling on An Xin. She knew the owner they were looking for was An Xin himself.
However, she remained silent, understanding that An Xin had his reasons for concealing his identity, and it was best not to interfere.
"It's just an owner; what's so hard about finding one?"
An Xin spoke leisurely from the side, his tone neutral.
He hadn't expected the system to be so thorough. Indeed, this was the system's store, now handed over to him. With no real person involved, everything was controlled behind the scenes, making his appearance logically sound.
"Given a little sunshine, you think you're something special. Who do you think you are? You think you can find their boss when even Xinxin couldn't? You're overestimating yourself."
Zhou Bin sneered disdainfully from the side.
Unlike his initial skepticism when Zhou Bin claimed he could find the owner, Chu Xinxin now looked at An Xin with excitement.
"Can you really find him?"
The huge contrast in her attitude towards Zhou Bin and An Xin left him feeling uncomfortable and somewhat angry.
Why should An Xin receive such preferential treatment? He couldn't allow it!
