Lin Xiao Tian and Liang Xu traveled together, arriving in Jiang Cheng.
Upon reaching Jiang Cheng, Lin Xiao Tian asked Liang Xu to leave first, while he himself prepared to go shopping.
The purpose of coming to Jiang Cheng today, besides replenishing supplies, was for Lin Xiao Tian to register a company.
Following Wei Long's analysis last time, Lin Xiao Tian had decided to register a company, which would make things easier for him in the future.
Before long, Wei Long appeared at the station.
Lin Xiao Tian rode in Wei Long's car, and the two arrived at the place to register the company.
When the staff member heard that Lin Xiao Tian wanted to register a sole proprietorship limited company with a capital of only one yuan, they were completely stunned.
"Are you sure you're only contributing one yuan?"
Lin Xiao Tian nodded solemnly.
The staff member confirmed it repeatedly. Upon realizing that Lin Xiao Tian was not insane, they stamped the documents for him.
After the company registration was complete, Wei Long suggested taking Lin Xiao Tian to a club to relax.
"Is it a legitimate club?" Lin Xiao Tian asked.
"Hey! Of course it's legitimate. Where do you think I'm taking you? Am I the kind of person who goes to those shady places?" Wei Long stated righteously.
Lin Xiao Tian smiled faintly. He remembered Wei Long boasting to him before about places that were anything but respectable, and now this guy was pretending to be pure?
Lin Xiao Tian didn't believe it!
Seeing Wei Long's stern expression, Lin Xiao Tian decided to play a trick on him.
"Who goes to legitimate clubs!" Lin Xiao Tian pouted.
Wei Long's eyebrows twitched upon hearing this.
"So you want to go to an illegitimate one! You should have said so earlier, brother has plenty of connections." Wei Long chuckled.
"Oh... so there really are illegitimate places! Who was it that just said they only go to legitimate places?"
Wei Long's face turned red upon hearing this.
"Alright! You tricked me!"
After chatting for a while longer, Wei Long took Lin Xiao Tian to the mall.
Originally, Wei Long wanted to accompany Lin Xiao Tian, but Lin Xiao Tian thought about the company matters that still needed to be handled. Moreover, Wei Long was an important informant he had placed with Xu Chang Ping and shouldn't waste time accompanying him shopping.
Thus, the two parted ways at the entrance of the mall.
After entering the mall, Lin Xiao Tian first bought some daily necessities, then headed to the floor specializing in furniture to start selecting items.
His house was now renovated, but the furniture was still old. For instance, the bed in his room was still a few stools and a long wooden board, covered with bedding. In the summer, Lin Xiao Tian slept directly on the wooden board, which was a very uncomfortable experience.
The tables and chairs at home had also been repaired five or six times, and they would sometimes wobble when in use.
Lin Xiao Tian was not a picky person; as long as the furniture was durable, that was enough. When purchasing, Lin Xiao Tian specifically asked if it could be delivered to the mountains.
If it were an ordinary customer, the shop owner might have simply refused, as the remote mountain village Lin Xiao Tian was going to, Jinsha Village, was outside their usual service area, which was typically limited to within the city.
However, considering that Lin Xiao Tian was buying five or six sets of high-end furniture, the shop owner admitted that principles were, at that moment, rather irrelevant in his eyes.
"Heh heh, sir, in principle, we don't deliver to such distant places. However, since you are a major client, we've decided to make an exception and deliver it to your door."
Lin Xiao Tian smiled faintly and readily accepted their kind offer.
Lin Xiao Tian then went to the appliance section upstairs and bought essential items like a refrigerator and an induction cooker.
Afterward, Lin Xiao Tian planned to visit the skincare section.
The last time he bought cosmetics for Qin Yu Xiang, she had outwardly resisted, but Lin Xiao Tian knew she was secretly very happy.
Although Lin Xiao Tian was a bit of a "straight man," he could tell this much.
Lin Xiao Tian arrived at the cosmetics shopping area, and a sales assistant immediately approached him.
"Sir, is this for yourself or for someone at home?" the sales assistant asked with a smile.
"Do you have any recommendations for women's cosmetics?"
"Yes!"
The sales assistant then led Lin Xiao Tian to a particular area.
"Sir, if you buy this Tika four-piece set, your significant other will surely be pleased."
Lin Xiao Tian glanced at the four-piece set, which included a cleanser and various other items. Lin Xiao Tian didn't understand these things, but looking at the price, which was over a thousand yuan, he figured the quality wouldn't be bad. Thus, he decided to buy it.
Just as Lin Xiao Tian was about to make the purchase, a dispute nearby caught his attention.
"Hey! I saw this first, are you even being reasonable?" a woman with long, flowing hair said angrily.
Standing in front of her was a short-haired woman, wearing an equally furious expression.
"What do you mean you saw it first? I clearly told the sales assistant I wanted to place an order before you rushed over and snatched it away! Humph! You have no manners!"
"You're the one with no manners! In this mall, it's always first come, first served. How can you call this snatching? I call this legitimately taking it!"
The voices of the two women grew louder and louder, quickly attracting the attention of many people.
As an onlooker, Lin Xiao Tian had a rough idea of what had happened. They were actually arguing over a jar of face cream.
What kind of face cream could have such appeal?
Thinking that he also needed to buy cosmetics for Qin Yu Xiang, Lin Xiao Tian decided to go and take a look.
When Lin Xiao Tian saw the price, his eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.
This jar of face cream, about the size of a baby's fist, cost a thousand yuan?
"Do you still have this?" Lin Xiao Tian asked the sales assistant next to him.
"Sir, this is a popular new product of the season. We received very limited stock this time," the sales assistant replied, looking troubled.
"It's out of stock?" Lin Xiao Tian was taken aback.
It was quite unusual for such a large mall to experience this. If it were a product that didn't sell well, it would be understandable for it to be out of stock, but for something so popular, why wouldn't the mall stock more?
"I don't know what the manufacturer is thinking. This seasonal new product has less than a hundred units circulated on the market. It was already difficult for us to get any stock," the sales assistant complained.
Lin Xiao Tian thought for a moment.
This kind of cosmetic would definitely make Qin Yu Xiang happy if he bought it.
So he said to the sales assistant, "Do you really have no stock of this face cream? If you do, I'm willing to pay a higher price."
Lin Xiao Tian had worked as a sales assistant in a mall before and knew that they were very aware of the actual inventory. For such a popular item, Lin Xiao Tian didn't believe the sales assistant wouldn't have kept one.
As expected, the sales assistant's expression changed slightly upon hearing his words.
"Sir, if you really want to buy it, I can recommend a place..." the sales assistant said in a low voice.
Lin Xiao Tian smiled and asked, "Where?"
"Sir, there's a cosmetics shop next to the mall. Go there and say I recommended you, and they'll give it to you. However..." The sales assistant paused here.
"Don't worry, price is not an issue," Lin Xiao Tian understood implicitly.
The sales assistant nodded and then told Lin Xiao Tian the name of the shop.
