The sign-in system hit me and took my country away

Chapter 462: Deserted Shopping Mall

"Okay." Nangong Jingming's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a doting smile. He was very happy about this proposal. Now, his original team members have been entrusted with important tasks by the country and assigned to various important positions, shouldering the mission of promoting national development. At present, he is the only one left by Su Siyi's side to protect her. Originally, the country planned to send other people to strengthen security, but Su Siyi decisively refused. In her opinion, in this world, she and Nangong Jingming's cultivation has reached the peak, and looking around, almost no one can pose a threat to them. What's more, her own life-saving methods are endless, and she really doesn't need more people to follow her all the time. She hopes that everyone can devote themselves to their respective areas of expertise and contribute to the construction of the country.

Hand in hand, they strolled down the street. Shops lined the streets, and the sun shone on the ground, casting a golden glow. However, the scene before them surprised Su Siyi.

"Brother Nangong, isn't this mall yours? Shouldn't it be bustling?" Su Siyi paused, looking at the somewhat deserted mall before her, her brows furrowed slightly, a look of confusion on her face. In her memory, this place used to be a bustling commercial center, bustling with people coming and going. But now, it's deserted, with almost no one to be seen inside.

"Hmm, it seems the traditional mall is no longer popular." A hint of surprise flashed in Nangong Jingming's eyes. He hadn't expected the once-glorious mall to become like this. He narrowed his eyes slightly, lost in thought, trying to figure out the reason.

"Hurry up, buy it, let's go to the Star Building to play." At this time, a man's urgent voice came from not far away. Su Siyi and Nangong Jingming turned around and saw a young couple standing in front of a clothing store.

"Got it, I'll be right there!" the woman replied, quickly selecting several outfits in the store. She glanced briefly and asked the waiter to find something in her size, not even trying it on before ordering it to be packed. The young couple then hurriedly left the mall, bags in hand.

"Looks like everyone's flocking to the Interstellar Building!" Su Siyi sighed as she watched them depart. She realized then that with the increasing infiltration of interstellar elements into everyday life, the Interstellar Building had become a new focal point of interest, attracting a large number of people to explore and experience it.

"It seems that offline shopping malls will have a hard time surviving in the future." Nangong Jingming sighed helplessly, a wry smile on his face. He understood that the trend of development is unstoppable, and the rise of emerging things often has a huge impact on traditional industries.

"Then what are you going to do?" Su Siyi turned her head and looked at Nangong Jingming worriedly. She knew very well that this mall was part of Nangong Jingming's industrial layout. Now facing such a predicament, she couldn't help but worry about him.

"Don't worry, I have more than just this little business, and I'm sure I can support you." Nangong Jingming gently pinched Su Siyi's cheek, a confident smile on his face. He knew that the interstellar element had only just emerged, and people's curiosity was at its peak, which was why traditional shopping malls were so severely impacted. As time passed, the novelty of interstellar gradually faded, and people returned to normal life, many traditional industries would naturally find their own ways to survive and regain vitality. For now, he needed to adapt to the changing times, actively adjust his industry strategy, and seek new development opportunities.

"I don't need you to support me. My own assets are just as good as yours!" Su Siyi raised her chin slightly, her eyes gleaming with confidence, and her tone tinged with arrogance. She crossed her arms over her chest, as if declaring her independence and strength to the world. In her opinion, thanks to her gains in the system and years of hard work, she had already accumulated considerable wealth and was fully capable of supporting herself. In some ways, she was even richer than Nangong Jingming.

"Then I'll raise it for you!" Nangong Jingming leaned over slightly, leaning close to Su Siyi's ear and whispering. His voice was low and magnetic, as if carrying a hint of ambiguity. As he spoke, his breath brushed Su Siyi's ear gently, causing her to tremble slightly.

"Ahem, what are you talking about!" Su Siyi's cheeks flushed instantly, and she coughed twice, trying to hide her shyness. She glanced at Nangong Jingming with a reproachful look, thinking to herself, how come this man is becoming more and more provocative, always able to easily make her heart beat faster.

"I'm speaking from the heart!" Nangong Jingming looked at Su Siyi seriously, his eyes full of sincerity. He was speaking from the heart. In his heart, being "supported" by Su Siyi was an extremely happy thing. On weekdays, Su Siyi always generously shared with him all kinds of delicious spiritual fruits, precious spiritual medicines, and a large number of spiritual stones. In his opinion, this was the performance of being "supported" by her. Moreover, this feeling of being cared for and taken care of by her made him feel extremely warm and at ease.

"Okay, I got it. Let's go to my shop and see how things are going!" Su Siyi turned her head slightly, trying to change the subject. There was a hint of anticipation in her eyes, and she couldn't wait to see how the business of her magical clothing store was going.

"Boss, you're here!" The store manager was busy walking around the shop. As soon as he sensed the arrival of his boss, Su Siyi, he immediately stopped what he was doing and hurried forward to greet her. His face was full of smiles, his eyes full of respect, as he warmly welcomed Su Siyi.

"Manager, how is the business now?" Su Siyi went straight to the point without too much greetings. There was a hint of concern in her eyes, and she was eager to know the business status of the store.

"Everything is fine," the store manager replied with a smile, his tone full of confidence. He knew that the store, carefully built by Su Siyi, had unique charm and advantages, so business would naturally be good.

"Oh, that's good!" Su Siyi breathed a sigh of relief, a pleased smile on her face. She had always been confident in the clothes in her shop. These clothes were no ordinary garments; they combined unique designs with magical functions, a level of sophistication that current technology couldn't replicate. In this era of fashion and practicality, these clothes were truly unique. After all, while StarCraft's clothes were versatile, their design wasn't quite up to par. In comparison, the clothes in her shop were both beautiful and practical, earning them a deep customer following.

"Boss, the clothing store now has the feature of taking orders and delivering them to your door, so there will be fewer people in the store." The store manager seemed to see Su Siyi's confusion and took the initiative to explain. As he spoke, he operated the tablet in his hand to show Su Siyi the order quantity.

"Well, that's great! Thank you for your hard work." Su Siyi's eyes sparkled with joy as she watched the number of orders scrolling across her tablet. More orders meant more income, which made her incredibly happy. She also expressed her recognition and gratitude for the efforts of the store manager and staff; it was their hard work that made the store so prosperous.

"Boss, your store is doing very good business, but there are also a lot of complaints." The store manager frowned slightly, a helpless look on his face, and said to Su Siyi.

"Oh, someone's complaining?" Su Siyi frowned slightly, her eyes filled with confusion. To her, the clothes in her shop were impeccable, unparalleled quality on the market. So why would anyone complain? She couldn't figure out what the customer was dissatisfied with.

"Yes, the complaint is that we have too few clothes and too few stores," the store manager sighed helplessly and explained. He also understood the customers' feelings. After all, the clothes in the store are so popular, and everyone hopes to be able to buy them more conveniently and have more styles to choose from.

"This is the only store I have, so there's nothing I can do! But could you increase the quantity?" Su Siyi couldn't help but laugh after hearing the store manager's explanation. She found the customer's complaint both frustrating and somewhat amusing, but she still seriously asked the store manager if it was possible to increase production.

"Boss, we can only increase the quantity by a thousand sets per month," the store manager thought for a moment before giving his answer. He knew the store's production capacity was limited, and to increase production while maintaining quality, he could only produce a maximum of a thousand sets of clothing per month.

"Let's increase it first!" Su Siyi made a decisive decision. She believed that since customers have demand, we should try our best to meet it. Although the increase in quantity is limited, it can alleviate the situation of supply and demand to a certain extent.

"Yes." The store manager nodded in agreement and prepared to arrange production according to Su Siyi's instructions.

This news instantly caused a stir among customers. Many were excited to learn that the store would be expanding its clothing production. After all, the clothes here are not only stylish and beautiful, but also functional. Wearing them not only enhances personal charm but also brings convenience to daily life. Everyone was eagerly anticipating the arrival of the new clothing items so they could have the opportunity to purchase their favorite styles.

"I'll leave the store for you guys, I'll be leaving now." Su Siyi saw that there was no major problem with the store and planned to leave. She knew that the clothes in the store would be delivered directly to her through a special channel, so she didn't need to pick them up here.

"Siyi, wait a minute, I'll prepare some clothes for my family." Nangong Jingming suddenly thought of his family and something clicked in his mind. He thought the clothes in Su Siyi's shop were very special. Tomorrow, when the two families gather for dinner, he would give them to his family as gifts. This would surely make them feel Su Siyi's thoughtfulness and also give Su Siyi a lot of face.

"Um, are you sure just clothes are enough? Should we buy something else?" Su Siyi frowned slightly, looking at Nangong Jingming with some concern. In her opinion, Nangong Jingming's family were all well-known and influential figures. Wouldn't just a few pieces of clothing as a gift seem a bit insincere? She thought it would be more appropriate to add some other gifts.

"Your clothes are already extraordinary. If you give them to them, they will definitely be happy." Nangong Jingming smiled confidently and explained. In his heart, the clothes in Su Siyi's shop are not ordinary clothes. They contain unique charm and value. His family will be very happy to receive such gifts. Moreover, he believes that his family values ​​the thought more than the value of the gift. Even if he doesn't give them anything else, his family will be happy because of Su Siyi's arrival.

"Then you choose first!" Su Siyi was somewhat speechless at Nangong Jingming's words, but she also felt that he had a point. So, she decided to let Nangong Jingming choose the clothes first, while she planned to find some suitable gifts from the items obtained by signing in with the system. After all, it was her first official meeting with Nangong Jingming's family, and preparing a carefully prepared meeting gift was essential.

Nangong Jingming carefully selected clothes in the store. He carefully picked out two sets of clothes for each of his family members based on their preferences and body shapes. As he selected, he imagined the joyful expressions on his family's faces when they received the gifts, and his heart was filled with anticipation.

"Boss, it's packed." The store manager carefully packed the clothes that Nangong Jingming had selected and handed them to him with both hands. His movements were skillful and meticulous, ensuring that the clothes would not be damaged during transportation.

"Okay!" Su Siyi took the packed clothes and put them into her own space. Then, she and Nangong Jingming left the store.

"Brother Nangong, where should we go now?" Su Siyi looked at the somewhat deserted streets around her, feeling a little confused. The newly built Interstellar Building had attracted a large number of people, causing the traditional commercial areas to plummet in popularity. She didn't know where to go for a while.

"How about a walk in the park? The air is much better now with the purifying trees," Nangong Jingming suggested. He recalled the recent planting of purifying trees in the city. These trees not only purify the air but also beautify the environment, adding a touch of vitality and vibrancy to the city. He felt that taking a walk in such an environment would be a good choice, as it would allow him to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature.

"Okay, let's go take a look," Su Siyi nodded, a flicker of anticipation in her eyes. After all her adventures and busy schedules, she felt like she hadn't sat down to truly appreciate the world that had given her life. Now, having this leisurely opportunity to stroll with her beloved, exploring the familiar yet unfamiliar corners of the city, was undoubtedly a rare treat for her.

Hand in hand, the two strolled leisurely down the street. The spring sunshine bathed them in gentle warmth. The shops lining the street were overflowing with goods. Though less bustling than usual, they still exuded a vibrant atmosphere of life. They paused to gaze at the window displays, whispered softly, and shared their thoughts and feelings. Walking and looking, they unknowingly arrived at a nearby park.
