Peng Shiqi glanced at Li Man and then asked, "What's the plan?"
Jiang Cheng looked at the bags in the store and said, "It's been a while since I bought a bag for my mom, and my cousin too. My cousin is about your age and dresses similarly. Help me pick out some that look good to you."
Of course, Jiang Cheng was just making this up.
He had used a similar excuse when he asked Su Wan to buy bags before.
At that time, Su Wan clearly hadn't seen through Jiang Cheng's intentions.
She had been quite cautious when picking them out.
But Peng Shiqi was different from Su Wan.
This was the first time they had met; she didn't believe Jiang Cheng would buy things for her for no reason.
Besides, Jiang Cheng clearly had Bai Xiaoxiao. If he were to buy anything, he would take her out to buy it. How could he possibly buy for her?
Peng Shiqi's mind was entirely focused on how to help Li Man vent her frustration.
Hearing this, she reacted immediately.
A hint of joy rose on her face.
She blinked at Jiang Cheng and asked in a low voice, "So what you mean is, pretend you're buying for me and let me pick for you. Did I understand that correctly?"
Jiang Cheng nodded. "Smart. You can pick anything you want here today."
Hearing this, Peng Shiqi instantly perked up and covered her mouth.
With a mischievous look, she said to Jiang Cheng, "OK, then I'm going to start my performance."
After saying this, the two began walking toward Li Man and Chen Yating.
Seeing Peng Shiqi holding Jiang Cheng's arm, not only Li Man, but even Chen Yating stopped her show-offy behavior.
Noticing Chen Yating staring at her arm hooked through Jiang Cheng's, Peng Shiqi curled her lips and leaned even closer to Jiang Cheng.
She began to ask in a 'green tea' tone, "Sister Chen, have you finished picking out your bag?"
In front of Jiang Cheng, Chen Yating tucked away the smugness in her eyes.
Instead, she put on a humble expression and moved the fluorescent bag in her hand forward.
She even hung the bag on her shoulder, turned sideways toward Jiang Cheng, and asked, "President Jiang, do you think this looks good on me?"
Chen Yating seemed to be showing the bag to Jiang Cheng, but in reality, she was subtly flaunting her proud chest.
"President Jiang arrived just in time. I was just telling Li Man that this bag is very picky about who wears it. What do you think of how it looks on me?"
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng slowly raised his eyes to glance at the bag in her hand.
Then he turned to Peng Shiqi and said, "She's right, this bag is picky. On her, it looks a bit like a plastic bag—no class."
After Jiang Cheng said this, Chen Yating's beaming smile faltered. She hadn't expected Jiang Cheng to suddenly pull a move like this.
As satisfied as she had felt when publicly insulting Li Man's lack of elegance earlier, that was how embarrassed she felt now.
Even the two Sales Associates waiting nearby couldn't help but press their lips together, desperately trying to think of the saddest things in their lives to keep from laughing.
Jiang Cheng continued, "But I think it would suit you quite well. It would definitely look right on you."
After taking a look, Peng Shiqi directly shook her head. "I don't like this one. I don't think it's pretty."
This sentence was incredibly smooth—perfect 'tea' skills and full of offensive power.
Even Jiang Cheng couldn't help but want to give her a thumbs up.
Jiang Cheng said directly to the store staff, "Bring out the latest bags, as well as this year's autumn/winter scarves and jewelry. Let her try them all on."
One look at Jiang Cheng's outfit and bearing was enough to know he was a big client.
The staff who had been serving Chen Yating immediately began to greet them with enthusiasm.
Peng Shiqi was arranged to try on several bags.
While trying them on, Peng Shiqi spoke to the somewhat dazed Li Man, "Manman, come over and help me see how these bags look?"
Li Man didn't know about the little trick between Jiang Cheng and Peng Shiqi.
Looking at those luxury items being packed up, her eyes widened.
She couldn't help but swallow, pulled on Peng Shiqi's sleeve, and whispered, "What's going on? Did I travel through time? Or did you guys kiss just now and I missed it?"
Hearing the word 'kiss,' Peng Shiqi's cheeks instantly flushed red.
"Oh, keep your voice down. I'll tell you later."
"This one, this one, and this one—wrap them all up." Almost every time Peng Shiqi tried something, Jiang Cheng would point his finger, and it would be several items at once.
It wasn't that Jiang Cheng wanted to engage in revenge spending.
Mainly, he was too lazy to visit other shops.
And clearly, spending on Peng Shiqi in front of Chen Yating brought a high level of inner pleasure.
It's just that the pricing for Chanel clothes and bags was set there.
One could only say it was lucky they were autumn and winter clothes, compared to the few thousand yuan prices of spring and summer.
Most autumn and winter clothes started at tens of thousands of yuan.
Seeing Jiang Cheng buy seven or eight bags and over a dozen pieces of clothing for Peng Shiqi in one go...
Chen Yating's brow had long since furrowed into a tight knot.
Originally, she thought that out of the three of them, only she could possess these things.
After all, she was Wang Congcong's girlfriend; Li Man and Peng Shiqi were just here to make up the numbers today.
Based on Wang Congcong's past habits, when he returned, he would likely buy a couple of pieces of clothing for the two girls as well, but they were just add-ons, so the price definitely wouldn't be very high.
Now, not only was her carefully selected bag belittled by Peng Shiqi, but she had also become a mere foil.
Chen Yating angrily put the bag back in its original place and sat directly on the sofa.
Looking at Chen Yating's emotional intelligence, Jiang Cheng shook his head.
At this point, someone might want to ask.
Are there really women with such low emotional intelligence around rich people?
Jiang Cheng could only say, of course there are.
Just look at a certain car company owner's wife calling the Milk Tea Girl by her name.
Oh, right, it wasn't even calling her by name, but directly calling her 'Little Zhang.' You tell me if that's ridiculous.
Compared to her, Chen Yating was actually considered okay.
So, charm really doesn't correlate with IQ or EQ.
In fact, if it weren't for the system's mission, Jiang Cheng wouldn't have needed to bother with her.
But since the system issued it, he still had to deliver the face-slapping.
After all, it could very well result in tens of millions in cashback.
It was just a few words; Jiang Cheng knew how to earn this money.
