The next day, early in the morning.
Zhou Jialu rarely woke up earlier than Su Bai.
The reason, of course, was to put on makeup carefully.
Su Bai found that these girls attached great importance to makeup, just like preparing weapons before a battle.
The more important the occasion, the more they believed in it.
As for Su Bai, his appearance points were already sufficient, so he didn't need to dress up too much.
After getting up, he went downstairs as usual, jogged in the well - landscaped and tree - shaded Ascott Square, and then swam in the swimming pool exclusive to the residents.
Even if he was lazy and indulgent, Brother Tongzi would help Su Bai eliminate the negative effects.
Su Bai didn't need to exercise to maintain his physical fitness, but sometimes, sweating was still very comfortable and helpful for a pleasant mood.
After having breakfast in the Chinese restaurant, Su Bai drove with Zhou Jialu to the auto show.
Like most auto shows, this one in Jiangcheng was held in the so - called development zone, which was actually a relatively remote new district. The auto show itself also helped to boost the popularity of that area.
Su Bai didn't care. Anyway, when driving to the new district, the roads were wide, there were few people, and there was no traffic jam.
"Junior, how do you think my makeup looks?"
Zhou Jialu turned on the selfie function of her phone and took a photo every now and then, looking for flaws in the photos.
Then she opened the makeup mirror above the passenger seat and continued to examine herself.
"It's quite good, Senior. Do you have to dress up like a star walking on the catwalk? How can the models at the auto show survive then?" Su Bai joked.
"Oh, it's not that exaggerated..."
"Besides, you've taken selfies from several angles. It should be okay, right?"
"It's different. The effect of a selfie is not the same as how others actually see you in real life."
Zhou Jialu kindly explained some little knowledge about girls to Su Bai.
For example, makeup that looks good in photos often looks ordinary in real life.
Conversely, makeup that looks good in person may have some flaws in photos.
Anyway, Su Bai was greatly shocked by what he heard.
It seemed that it was quite troublesome for beautiful girls to maintain their good images.
"Then, Senior, is your makeup today suitable for photos or for real - life viewing?"
"Of course, it's the latter. Posting on WeChat Moments is not the key today. It's most important to make my junior look good! And I also have to scare away the fox spirits who try to flirt with my junior."
Whether it would make him look good or not, Su Bai didn't know.
He only knew that Senior Zhou, who was dressed up, was wearing a business - style suit skirt, looking very formal, as if she was going to attend an upper - class cocktail party with him.
This feeling of being valued by a girl was really nice.
In contrast, Su Bai himself was still wearing trendy street - style casual clothes.
By the way, this style of clothes was very loose and comfortable. Once you got used to it, you really didn't like to wear other styles.
Fortunately, Su Bai didn't need to wear a suit and tie.
On the way, Su Bai received a message saying that 71% of the shares of the technology company he had taken a fancy to, "Shengxi Technology", had been transferred to his name.
Good efficiency, Brother Tongzi.
After the auto show, Su Bai planned to take Sheng Sheng to the company for a visit.
It was also to give the genius AI girl a bit of confidence.
It was obvious that although Chen, the top student, had happily accepted Su Bai's support, she still seemed a bit cautious in doing things.
After all, she was used to being poor.
It didn't matter. Su Bai would help her correct her consumption habits.
...
At the Mercedes - Benz booth of the Jiangcheng Autumn Auto Show.
Traditional luxury brands like Mercedes - Benz, BMW, and Audi often occupied good exhibition halls and prominent positions.
Although they were still a step away from top - tier luxury brands.
But these were the luxury cars that ordinary people could come into contact with.
There were also many people who placed orders at the auto show.
As for the staff responsible for the auto show, they were employees selected from local 4S stores of various brands in Jiangcheng.
Many people from the Mercedes - Benz Xuefu Store had been selected.
At this time, the exhibition had already started, and the visitors had entered the venue. The employees wore professional smiles on their faces and tried their best to receive a wave of customers. Then they got a chance to rest.
As the saying goes, the crowd was surging. People who came to see the cars usually came in waves.
Either there were no customers for a while, or a large group would come at once.
"Hey, isn't this Mengfei? You're dressed so beautifully. I almost didn't recognize you."
Following the words of one of the sales employees, several young ladies from the Xuefu Store then noticed that an old acquaintance had come.
It was a well - dressed young woman, accompanied by a middle - aged man. The man was even shorter than her, and his appearance was a bit hard to describe.
However, the price of the luxury goods on the young woman already proved the man's wealth.
This was the simple social reality. If an unremarkable man was accompanied by a beautiful girl, it meant that the man was very rich.
The young woman smiled reservedly and said, "Hello, everyone. I'm here with my husband to look at cars. It's a return visit to my old colleagues. How about it? Not bad, right?"
"Great, great. Welcome to Mercedes - Benz. Which kind of cars is the boss interested in?"
The salesperson immediately began to promote enthusiastically.
The other idle ones surrounded the young woman and caught up on old times.
Her name was Tao Mengfei. She used to be a female salesperson at the Jiangcheng Xuefu Store.
The rich man beside her was the one she hooked up with when she was selling cars to him.
At that time, the rich man was not divorced yet and was in the stage of a broken relationship with his ex - wife.
To be fair, Tao Mengfei's appearance accelerated the process of the rich man's relationship breakdown with his wife...
Simply put, Super Mistress Tao successfully took the place of the wife!
Of course...
Everyone present was smart enough not to mention this.
After all, no matter how dishonorable her means were, at least she was rich now.
Moreover, this rich man looked like someone not to be messed with.
Although he was a short and overweight middle - aged man, it was even hard to tell if his height was one meter and seventy centimeters.
But the aura he naturally exuded was that of a typical nouveau riche.
In fact, he was really a nouveau riche.
In the early years, he was engaged in earth - moving business in the southern part of Jiangcheng. People who understand this industry know what it's like.
Later, he switched to the real - estate business.
He had reaped a great deal of the dividends of the times in the previous years.
In the past two years, he had basically cashed out and left the market, sitting on a fortune that he couldn't spend in his lifetime, and began to enjoy life.
Presumably, Tao Mengfei was also a part of the rich man's way of enjoying life.
She was nearly twenty years younger than him, with a beautiful face and a good figure.
She was no worse than the car models at the auto show.
Watching Tao Mengfei being surrounded and chatting with her former colleagues, and seeing the envious expressions on the colleagues' faces, the rich man felt very satisfied.
He didn't participate in their chat... actually, he couldn't fit in.
He walked away with his hands behind his back to look at the cars.
"Oh, Sister Mengfei, you're really well - maintained... You look even younger than us."
"Not really. You're not that old either." Tao Mengfei covered her mouth and laughed, looking around. "But really, aren't there any new employees in the store this year? It seems that they're all old employees."
"Oh? There was a new employee. A senior at Jiangcheng University was originally going to join the company after graduation. But then she dated a super - rich junior and achieved financial freedom directly. She doesn't need to work anymore."
"Really? There's such a thing?"
Hearing this, Tao Mengfei was momentarily stunned, and then the corners of her mouth curled up in a meaningful arc.
