Master of Controlling the Scene: Su Bai

Just stepping onto this street, Li Xingya felt a sense of restraint and couldn't quite let go.

After all, she never dared to come to this kind of artsy clothing boutique alone. She always felt like she would be mocked by the shopkeepers... Of course, in reality, service staff weren't necessarily that unprofessional. The weirdos like the arrogant boutique managers in funny short videos were, in the end, a minority in the service industry.

Why are you so nervous? It's not working hours.

Yeah, I'm not nervous... I'm just not very used to this kind of place.

Really? I think it suits you perfectly. Actually, if you dress up a bit, you have a very scholarly vibe.

The boss is right. Xingya, you have a great foundation... uh, I mean that as a compliment.

After Lu Yuning said this, the other two showed knowing smiles.

These days, saying a woman has a great foundation almost sounds like passive-aggressive sarcasm.

Language evolves, or perhaps devolves. In the past, Crouching Dragon and Fledgling Phoenix was clearly used to describe talented people, but now the meaning is completely the opposite.

Anyway, let Ningning help you try some things on. Trust the eye of a professional fashion designer.

Su Bai ushered the two girls into a shop.

It was pitch black inside the shop, with very dim lighting. It seemed that the stores on this street all shared a similar decor style, prioritizing a high-end, pretentious vibe.

Ding! Random task triggered: Have Lu Yuning help Li Xingya choose an outfit to raise S-rank Goddess Li Xingya's Charm score to over 80. Reward: 10 Free Attribute Points!

Oh?

Good stuff again!

These free attribute points excited Su Bai much more than cash rewards. After all, how should he put it... he wasn't exactly short on cash right now.

Moreover, he had already formed bonds with several S-rank goddesses. Spending money on them every day yielded substantial cashback.

Not to mention funding Chen Yusheng's scientific research, which was an absolute bottomless pit of cashback.

Su Bai began to set his sights on the rarer system rewards.

Then again, the system's criteria for an S-rank goddess weren't just based on current looks, but also on potential and inner qualities.

It seemed Li Xingya's potential was indeed very high.

Unlike the smug and ambitious Su Bai, Li Xingya felt a bit dazzled as soon as she entered the store.

She picked up the price tag of a tulle skirt and immediately clicked her tongue in shock.

This thing costs over three thousand??

It was clearly an unheard-of brand... Oh wait, she actually only had a superficial knowledge of women's clothing brands. Maybe it was just her ignorance.

Boss, isn't it too expensive here? I feel like there's no need for me to wear such nice clothes, right? Li Xingya said weakly.

Wrong. The tier here is merely entry-level for my team.

Entry-level?

Both Li Xingya and the shop assistant who came to greet them were taken aback.

The assistant subconsciously assumed it was just another sugar daddy boss trying to show off in front of a young model.

After all, a boss's money doesn't just fall from the sky.

Bosses who were genuinely willing to buy luxury goods for girls without hesitation were too rare these days.

Most of them just made empty promises.

However, when the assistant sized up Su Bai's outfit, she immediately changed her mind and became serious.

Not to mention anything else, just that watch worth hundreds of thousands and the new winter Hermes jacket were enough to prove that this guy was truly wealthy.

Those who dared to casually wear the latest arrivals from top-tier brands were definitely not short on cash.

Not to mention Su Bai's extremely casual attitude, treating it as if it were just everyday clothing.

The most typical characteristic of so-called fake socialites is their pilgrim-like attitude toward luxury goods.

In reality, to the truly rich, those are just easily accessible everyday items.

The assistant immediately said enthusiastically, Please rest assured, miss. Although our clothes aren't cheap, the design is absolutely top-notch. It's hard to bump into someone wearing the same outfit on the street. Plus, our clothes focus on quality and details, definitely making you feel it's worth the price.

It's true. I've been buying autumn and winter styles from this store for about three years, and you basically can't go wrong... Of course, I only used to buy the cost-effective ones, hehe. The salary at my old company wasn't high, not even a tenth of what the boss pays.

Ah? Su Bai scratched his head. Is it that exaggerated?

Ever since he crossed the line with Lu Yuning, Su Bai had raised her salary to match his other confidantes. A fixed pocket money of one hundred thousand yuan a month was essentially her base salary.

As for the funding for the garment factory, that was calculated separately.

Even so, just this base salary made Lu Yuning extremely flattered and overwhelmed.

Back in school, the rumors she heard about campus-belle-level classmates being kept by big bosses were at most around this price.

And usually, it was only the first month that the price was artificially high.

It would drop quickly afterward, and the relationship might even end shortly.

There was a lot of calculation involved.

Su Bai didn't calculate that much, because this amount of money was truly just a drop in the bucket for his financial resources.

Having hundreds of millions in cash on hand was extremely rare, not just for a college student, but even for a successful middle-aged person.

It's true, boss. Xingya can testify too, right? The treatment the boss gives is indeed too good. It makes it hard not to work hard...

Mhm, yes, yes!

Li Xingya nodded frantically.

These two really resonated with each other.

They were both girls with inherently kind natures.

True kindness meant being genuinely grateful for others' contributions and giving back.

Some women, if you treat them well, will only think they are amazing, and then push their luck to demand even more.

But a truly good girl, suddenly receiving a pie falling from the sky, would only feel uneasy and secretly vow to repay the favor.

In a sense, kindness was probably the system's primary criterion for selecting an S-rank goddess, right?

The two girls huddled together to discuss for a while, picked out a few outfits, and went into the fitting room together.

Su Bai waited outside, playing on his phone and casually scrolling through short videos.

The shop assistant observed the dynamic between the three of them and was genuinely a bit puzzled. What exactly was the relationship between these two girls and him?

She felt that one of them was very intimate with Su Bai.

When a man and a woman walk together, it's actually very easy to tell if they are intimate enough.

There's a saying that if a girl has slept with the man she likes, she will involuntarily stick close to him when walking, especially during the honeymoon phase.

Conversely, if she is physiologically resistant to a man, even if she becomes his girlfriend for benefits or other reasons, she will still subconsciously keep her distance.

The assistant could tell that the relatively well-dressed girl had definitely progressed to the most intimate level with this handsome guy.

However, the other girl wasn't bad either, yet the first girl showed absolutely no signs of vigilance toward her. This was truly too rare. To be honest, it was even rarer than a rich guy wearing a watch worth hundreds of thousands.

These days, pretty girls were not easy to deal with. Being able to control the situation like this meant he was a true master of romance.
