Ye Lingchen and Zhang Yunxi went through some details of the store's opening. They decided to open it near Capital University.

By chance, it was located in a campus town so opening a cosmetic store there would ensure a steady flow of customers. Apart from that, Ye Lingchen had also recommended some books on the fundamentals of makeup to Zhang Yunxi for her to learn the basics.

She had to at least understand the types of cosmetics and their functions.

Women had an undeniable talent in that area, allowing Zhang Yunxi to grasp the basics very quickly.

However, then she saw the price tag of the products, her entire body went stiff.

A tiny bottle of face cream costs over a thousand! Other than that, there were eye cream, makeup remover, sunblock lotion, and the likes that also cost a hefty sum. It was the same as burning money!

She could not deny the fact that her lack of wealth limited her imagination.

The sky darkened as time passed. Ye Lingchen took Zhang Yunxi along to a simple restaurant for a celebratory meal for his store's future. He then sent Zhang Yunxi back to her quarters.

Zhang Yunxi's quarters had two outstanding traits: it was dilapidated, and the rent was cheap!

It was a very old apartment complex. Zhang Yunxi stayed in the basement, the type that had no exposure to sunlight all year long. It was dark and damp with only roughly thirty square meters. It was more accurate to describe it as a prison cell than a place to stay.

Ye Lingchen did not even consult Zhang Yunxi. He immediately ended her tenancy and took her luggage out of there.

"You're staying with me!" Without waiting for her reply, he immediately continued, "With such a big house, I'll need someone to take care of it right? Since you're my employee already, you might as well be my part-time nanny. That will save me the trouble of hiring someone else. Nowadays it'll cost at least RMB10,000 per month to hire a nanny!"

Rooms were something a villa had an excess of after all.

Zhang Yunxi could not say no and only pouted in silence.

At 7pm, Ye Lingchen started his stream in his room. Not only was the internet smooth, it was multiple times better than the internet cafe. Most importantly, it was a better environment. Furthermore, the computer was top of the line too. All in all, one word could be used to describe this: awesome!

After the stream, he went directly to bed. Such comfort…

'I knew it. It's much more comfortable to have my own house!'

The next day.

By the time Ye Lingchen returned from his morning exercise routine, Zhang Yunxi had already prepared breakfast.

There was no toast and milk, but instead a simple villager's meal: a bowl of noodles with a fried egg.

It tasted good despite the simplicity.

That morning, Zhang Yunxi was wearing some casual house clothes with an apron around her waist. She had not applied any makeup, yet she looked prettier than those women with heavy makeup, giving off a sense of spirituality between her brows.

However, Ye Lingchen frowned slightly at the sight, "Yunxi, by chance I have no classes this morning. Why don't we go buy you some clothes?"

"Buy clothes? My clothes are still fine."

"Since we're opening a store, you'll naturally need to dress better to gain the trust of our customers." Ye Lingchen then said with a smile, "It is an expense within our store's budget. You don't have to feel bad about it."

…

Kaiyuan Complex!

As one of the biggest shopping complexes in Capital City, it has countless elites visiting the complex. From managerial positions to country leaders, that was the first choice when it came to shopping for clothes.

The reason being, that it was the location with the biggest collection of luxury brands. It covered products for all levels of society, from the commoners to elites.

Vatti was one of China's affordable luxury brands. With Ye Lingchen's studious nature, he had read through several fashion magazines as well, allowing him to identify that particular brand.

He did not look at foreign brands as he wanted to support local brands.

Although Vatti was not comparable to the best of luxury brands like Dior and Coach, it was still considered one of the name brands.

He helped Zhang Yunxi select a number of clothes. Although many of them were elegant and classy, Ye Lingchen still felt slightly dissatisfied.

It was most likely due to him reading too many fashion magazines, causing him to have an elevated fashion sense.

Ye Lingchen felt helpless. As his knowledge increased, it inadvertently changed him bit by bit.

Although he did not specifically study fashion design, his proficiency had already reached 65 percent. With that, it was natural for him to have a fastidious fashion sense.

As expected of a top of the line luxury goods store, Vatti's internal decorations looked elegant and grand. The walls and roof were gold, while the surroundings were lined with mirrors. The first impression they got was that this was a high-class and luxurious place.

Clothes, bags, and shoes were displayed on the racks, all of them giving off a sense of elegance.

"Sir, madam, how may I be of assistance?" In a luxury store, the most impressive aspect was their service. Each sales assistant was specially trained, giving them an impeccable attitude when it came to attending to a customer.

"Please hand me that item first," Ye Lingchen requested calmly.

Zhang Yunxi, who was tagging along behind him, felt rather nervous. Especially when she saw the price tags on the clothes, immediately turning her face white.

RMB8,800!

It was only a few pieces of cloth! How could it be that pricey?!

She unwittingly looked at Ye Linghen.

"Go try it quick. This time you better not run away again." Ye Lingchen said with a smile. Earlier when Zhang Yunxi saw one of the clothing being priced at RMB15,000, she put down the clothes and immediately dashed out of the store. That put him in an awkward spot.

When Zhang Yunxi walked out with the freshly changed clothes, the originally glorious shop seemed to have turned dull. It was as though she was the only person in the world that remained.

Elegant!

Graceful!

Impressive!

Such a beauty!

With that many traits converging into one person, it forced everyone around her to stare with wide-open eyes.

Beautiful! Absolutely stunning!

Some were even breathing heavily, and faint salivating noises could be heard.

"Angel, it's an angel!" At that moment, a bald man exclaimed in surprise. His eyes glowed brightly when he stared at Zhang Yunxi. He then rushed forward and showered her with praises loudly, "This lady, I guarantee that you're the most beautiful woman I've seen. No! You're a goddess! This clothing is a perfect match for you!"

Zhang Yunxi did not even bat an eye at him, but turned her gaze towards Ye Lingchen and asked meekly, "Lingchen, how is it? I think it's too expensive."

Ye Lingchen frowned. It was undeniable that this clothing was a nice fit for Zhang Yunxi, but Ye Lingchen still felt that something was missing.

"It's fine, but I feel that the design of this clothing still has some problems," Ye Lingchen said quietly.

He planned to buy it then make some adjustments to the shortcomings at home.

"Nonsense!" That bald man was agitated, pointing and shouting at Ye Lingchen, "Vatti's designer is the best in our country. Just say so if you can't afford it. Don't spew such bullsh*t excuses! You bumpkins are funny!"

"That's right. How can you mock Vatti's design? What a joke!"

"Pretty lady, your boyfriend is a failure, trying to act tough when he can't afford to make the purchase. This is the typical behavior of a douchebag. You should leave him while you can!"

"Pretty lady, this clothing is a perfect match for you. Let's be friends and I'll buy it for you as a gift."

"Pretty lady, young men love to use flattering words but they can't be trusted! Just let me know what you like. Money is all I have. You just need to be my dinner date!"

...

In an instant, Ye Lingchen turned into public enemy number one for all the men in the hall while Zhang Yunxi was the princess that was sought after by all.

Those men were all obsessed, throwing away all their morals from their lust. Even their girlfriends beside them were pushed aside immediately.

In their heart, Ye Lingchen was just a poor loser. What gave him the right to be worthy of a goddess such as Zhang Yunxi?
