OFR – Chapter 260 The best shopping paradise!

Li Shaofeng must have noticed Rong Qingwen’s smile, so Rong Qingwen asked with a slight hint of surprise, “What? Does Young Master Li find my ideas laughable? Or is it my arrogance that’s amusing?”

“Hehe, no, Young Master Rong, you’re overthinking it. I just suddenly thought of an outstanding young man,” Li Shaofeng replied with a light chuckle.

“Oh? Outstanding? You mean Young Master Nalan Yun?” Rong Qingwen asked, intrigued.

Indeed, aside from Nalan Yun, he couldn’t think of any other young man in Nanjing worthy of the word “outstanding” from Li Shaofeng.

But what Li Shaofeng said next made Rong Qingwen freeze slightly, causing a significant change in the calm expression of someone who usually felt in control.

“Hehe, not Young Master Nalan Yun.”

“Hm? Then who?”

“Leng. A young man whom even Nalan Yun must treat with respect. He rose to prominence just over two months ago, yet all by himself, he was able to suppress Dongfang Jing, me, and numerous powerful elites at the charity gala. And to this day, no one has been able to uncover his identity. Tell me, doesn’t that qualify as outstanding?”

Hearing Li Shaofeng speak so seriously, Rong Qingwen’s brows furrowed slightly.

In fact, the Rong family had already investigated many top tycoons in Nanjing six months prior to making any moves. Yet this “Leng” Li Shaofeng mentioned didn’t ring a single bell for him.

That made him fall into thought, remaining silent.

But deep down, he had a faint sense that this trip to Nanjing might have unexpectedly introduced an uncontrollable variable.

That night passed quietly.

7:00 AM the next morning.

Mu Bai got up and washed, feeling a rare sense of warmth at home.

Li Xiaoqing had gotten up early and was placing the freshly made breakfast neatly on the dining table.

When she saw Mu Bai walk in, she smiled and said, “Good morning, Mu Hao. Did you sleep well last night?”

“Yeah, I was a bit tired yesterday, ended up sleeping straight through,” Mu Bai smiled and sat down to eat breakfast.

Twenty minutes later, after breakfast—

Mu Bai exchanged a few words with Li Xiaoqing and then left the villa area in Xuanwu Zhongshan.

Today was Mu Xiaoxiao’s birthday, and he planned to go out and buy a birthday gift for the girl.

Originally, he had bought a Vacheron Constantin watch as the first gift, but for various reasons, he never gave it to her. It ended up being gifted to Xu Jinhuan instead.

Now, attending her birthday, he definitely needed a present that would make a strong impression.

A wristwatch.

Mu Bai still decided to buy a watch this time.

Even though watches are often considered men’s accessories, Xiaoxiao really liked them too.

So after thinking it over, he felt a watch would be the most suitable birthday gift.

With that in mind, Mu Bai took his car keys and headed to the parking garage, getting into his parked Bugatti Veyron.

After getting in, he pulled out his phone and searched for the most prestigious watch stores in Nanjing.

He wasn’t planning to go to the store he visited last time.

Not because of poor service — the store was indeed capable of selling million-yuan watches — but it simply wasn’t top-tier.

Last time, buying an over-8-million-yuan Piaget required placing an order and waiting several days for delivery.

That kind of efficiency didn’t impress Mu Bai at all.

Plus, he didn’t have that much time to spare now.

So he began searching again on his phone for the top watch stores in Nanjing.

But after a while, instead of finding a more elite watch shop, what popped up was Deji Plaza.

“Hm? Deji Plaza?”

Mu Bai looked at the information on his phone screen and nodded slightly.

Deji Plaza was not only a household name in Nanjing — it was one of the most renowned in the entire country.

Anyone who frequently visited luxury shopping centers had surely heard of Deji.

Since its opening in 2006, Deji Plaza had formed close partnerships with numerous international brands, enriching its offering of top luxury names. The number of high-end luxury brands it hosted was staggering.

Back in 2015, Deji even surpassed Beijing’s Shin Kong Place in national shopping center sales rankings, becoming the number one in all of China!

It was truly a shopping paradise for the elite.

And naturally, such a paradise would host the most top-tier luxury watches.

This made Mu Bai chuckle and say, “Looks like I haven’t had the system for long — I barely go out shopping and actually forgot about a top-tier shopping center like Deji.”

After the laugh, he didn’t waste any more time and drove straight to the most luxurious and elite shopping paradise in all of Nanjing, even all of China.

Deji Plaza, located at Xinjiekou, known as “China’s No. 1 Business District.”

It was a bit of a distance from the Xuanwu Zhongshan villa area.

So about twenty minutes later, Mu Bai arrived at the plaza.

Perhaps because the New Year was approaching, as soon as Mu Bai drove up to Deji’s perimeter, he saw crowds of shoppers.

It’s worth noting that Deji Plaza focused heavily on high-end shopping. While it might carry some regular items, luxury goods clearly made up the bulk.

Yet even with so many luxury goods, the shopping crowd was still immense.

This showed just how strong the domestic shopping enthusiasm was at year-end.

Even some working-class folks had likely come to Deji, hoping to buy one or two luxury items for personal use or as decoration.

After all, during year-end gatherings with friends and family, everyone wants to maintain a bit of face — and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Is this vanity?

Mu Bai neither confirmed nor denied it.

After all, the society today is one ruled by money, drowning in material desires and illusion.

When the entire society bows to wealth and power, what’s a little vanity from the average person?

Chances are, vanity has long become the norm — so deeply ingrained that people aren’t even aware of it.

At the moment, with a calm expression, Mu Bai began searching for a parking space at Deji Plaza.

Even at this pinnacle shopping center, Mu Bai’s Bugatti Veyron stood out strikingly.

At the entrance of the plaza, a beautiful sales assistant named Du Xiaoqian, who had been kindly guiding customers, noticed the Veyron seemingly unable to find a spot. She quickly jogged over, ready to direct the driver to the VIP parking lot at Deji.

The VIP parking area was reserved for cars worth over 2 million yuan — especially for supercars like the Bugatti Veyron, which cost tens of millions.

For customers who could afford such cars, even just assisting one of them could earn the guides a commission worth several days’ wages.

Wearing a black uniform and with a sweet face, Du Xiaoqian jogged over with a smile, signaling to the Veyron to follow her.

A few minutes later, she guided the car to the VIP lot where spots were still available.

Once the car had parked, Du Xiaoqian was ready to greet this clearly heavyweight client with a professional smile.

But just as she was about to say something respectful, she was stunned.

The person stepping out of the luxury car was a young, handsome boy, even younger than herself.

Even with her good composure, she was caught off guard for a moment.

Indeed, from such a car, she hadn’t expected someone so youthful and clean-cut.

It might be an exaggeration to say it was love at first sight, but the accelerated heartbeat was definitely no exaggeration.

“Hm? Sales assistant? Thanks for earlier. If it’s convenient for you, could I trouble you to recommend a few nice watches in the mall?” Mu Bai said softly, glancing at the name badge on Du Xiaoqian’s chest.
