Chapter 082 The Second Consortium Makes its Debut
Ruanda Plaza in Shancheng City is a large-scale integrated shopping center in the city center that combines dining, shopping, entertainment, and office space.
At this moment, Lin Fan and Su Ruowei were walking side by side on the main road of Ruanda Square, looking no different from an ordinary couple in the eyes of passersby.
Su Ruowei glanced at Lin Fan from time to time, enjoying the moment.
Lin Fan also longed for the life of an ordinary person, the simple days of holding hands. In the Nine Nether Continent, everyone yearned for power, and martial arts were revered. Most people spent their entire lives pursuing power, exhausting themselves for it. Ordinary people without martial arts talent were destined to be ruled from birth, forced to act according to the whims of martial artists.
The two went to a men's clothing store first. Lin Fan bought a new outfit, changed into it, and then put his old clothes in a bag and continued shopping.
Su Ruowei walked beside Lin Fan, and the two of them walked together on the road. Just walking like this made her heart beat faster.
Is this considered a date? Although we've been married for two years, it seems like this is our first official date, like the kind of thing young couples often do in TV dramas.
"Ruowei, let's go buy some clothes," Lin Fan said.
Su Ruowei looked at Lin Fan's new clothes. She knew that Lin Fan wanted to buy her clothes, but this time she did not refuse. Instead, she nodded shyly like a girl in love.
Place Ruan Da, in front of the Louis Vuitton boutique.
Su Ruowei followed Lin Fan inside. She hadn't expected that Lin Fan would bring her to a place like this when he said he wanted to buy clothes. Su Ruowei knew about the globally renowned luxury brand, but for her before, this place was just a pipe dream.
Looking at the price tags on each piece of clothing, even the cheapest t-shirt costs several thousand yuan. Not to mention the other clothes and bags, all of which are in the five-figure range, some even reaching six or seven figures.
Su Ruowei's gaze fell on a short-sleeved dress with ruffles. After glancing at the price tag, she quickly looked away, but then couldn't help glancing at it a few more times.
"You have excellent taste! This is our new product. Would you like to try it, miss?" The sharp-eyed sales assistant noticed Su Ruowei's expression and quickly stepped forward to introduce it.
"Let me look at some others," Su Ruowei said with an awkward smile.
Seeing Su Ruowei's reaction, the sales assistant couldn't help but roll her eyes. She thought to herself, "This woman's male companion looks so respectable, but it turns out he just brought his girlfriend here to embarrass me."
"Take it over and try it out!" Lin Fan said to the sales assistant as he stepped forward.
The sales assistant was taken aback, and subconsciously took the clothes down and handed them over.
"Ruowei, why don't you try this one on? I think it would suit you very well." Lin Fan also noticed that Su Ruowei liked this dress. Not to mention liking just one dress, if Su Ruowei liked the whole store, Lin Fan would buy it for her.
"Is it okay?" Su Ruowei asked with the surprise of a little girl, taking the clothes and looking at Lin Fan expectantly.
"Of course!" Lin Fan nodded, and Su Ruowei excitedly went to the fitting room to change her clothes.
At that moment, a young man entered the store. The instant he stepped across the threshold, everyone in the store was drawn to him.
The man had slicked-back hair, a ruddy complexion, and was dressed in a custom-made Zegna outfit. He also had a young female companion in his arms.
The female companion had a celebrity-like face, and in terms of looks, she could even rival Su Ruowei.
The reason people were attracted to the man was not because he was rich or his female companion was beautiful, but because of his identity.
Unsurprisingly, everyone browsing the Louis Vuitton boutique was from high society, and they all recognized the man as Ji Wuyou, the son of the Ji Group.
The Ji Group is the second largest conglomerate in Shancheng City, second only to the Shancheng Group in strength. Ji Wuyou is the second son of Ji Shangde, the president of the Ji Group. This young master has completely inherited Ji Shangde's extravagant genes.
Although the Ji Group is considered the second largest in Shancheng, its actual strength is far inferior to that of the Shancheng Group. However, it surpasses the Shancheng Group in one aspect: its ability to exaggerate. Everything it does appears to be is done impeccably, and it seems to want the world to know what it's doing.
In addition, the Shancheng Group keeps a low profile. Apart from the fact that Lin Fan had just taken office and developed the southern business district, which made the whole city aware of it, they had been making a fortune in silence.
The Shancheng Group maintains an air of mystery, but everyone in Shancheng knows that it is number one. Ten years ago, foreign capital entered Shancheng with the intention of dominating the market. However, former president Lin Tiancheng suddenly spent hundreds of billions of yuan to acquire it overnight, causing a sensation throughout China.
After that, no other companies dared to enter Shancheng. However, Shancheng's economy did not decline because of the Shancheng Group's actions. On the contrary, under the leadership of the Shancheng Group, its economic level ranked among the top in China, second only to the two international metropolises of Yanjing and Haichuan.
This is already a miracle for an inland city. In fact, there are reasons for miracles. This is also due to the support from above for the Shancheng Group and the Shancheng Group's style of not monopolizing the market.
With these prerequisites in place, a multitude of enterprises flourished in Shancheng City, among which the Ji Group also thrived and rose to become the second largest in the city.
Ji Shangde understood these principles, so he always kept his distance from the Shancheng Group. However, the trend of extravagance was unavoidable. The Ji Group did a very diligent job of publicity, and coupled with the Shancheng Group's low profile, there were rumors in recent years that the Ji Group had surpassed the Shancheng Group.
But rumors are just rumors, and everyone is just having fun. The Shancheng Group doesn't care about these things.
Ji Shangde was well aware of the gap between himself and the Shancheng Group, but Ji Wuyou didn't understand. The enthusiastic praise from his friends made the young Ji Wuyou mistakenly believe that the Ji family had become number one.
"Do I really need to personally accompany you to a place like this?" Ji Wuyou glanced around the boutique with disdain and said, "If you like it, I'll just buy this store and ship all the clothes back to you so you can take your time picking them out."
His female companion's eyes lit up, but then her gaze darkened, and she said coquettishly, "I know Brother Ji has the means, but if you take it all home, won't you spend time with me?"
Ji Wuyou pursed his lips, but couldn't hide the smile on his face. He hooked his female companion's nose with his hand and laughed, "You little devil, alright! Since that's the case, I'll accompany you for a stroll."
"Brother Ji is the best!" The female companion said coquettishly, rubbing her head against Ji Wuyou's chest.
"I can't do anything with you. Go pick some out. Let's buy ten or eight items today. There's no room left in the back of the sports car," Ji Wuyou said with a smile.
"Okay!" The female companion smiled and went to choose clothes.
Lin Fan also looked at Ji Wuyou in surprise, his impression of him flashing through his mind.
"Lin Fan, does it look good?" Su Ruowei turned around after coming out of the fitting room and smiled slightly at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan smiled and nodded, about to speak when he heard from the side:
"Brother Ji! That aunt's clothes are so pretty!" Ji Wuyou's female companion shouted to him.
