Chapter 2418 - 1530: Just as Pure
"Tie Jun doesn’t need help saving money, can we pick something good?"
The bridesmaid dresses were finalized, and when Boss Jiang casually picked up a suit, Tong Dan, who had been swallowing her anger, seized the opportunity to start critiquing.
"Anyway, it’s only worn once, economic and practical is fine."
"Economic and practical doesn’t mean picking something from the street stall!"
The rental price of this suit on the tag was two hundred per day, with a selling price of one thousand.
Big shops are different; they offer everything, with prices for all ranges, satisfying all kinds of consumers, sparing no expense when needed.
Of course.
Expensive doesn’t necessarily mean better.
But remember one iron rule.
Cheap things surely aren’t good stuff.
Tong Dan clicked her high heels over, feeling the material; don’t misunderstand, she was touching the suit Boss Jiang was holding, not him.
"It looks like a rag, so tacky, like a bar waiter."
Tsk.
That mouth—still as snappy as ever.
"It doesn’t matter."
Boss Jiang was nonchalant, "I’m just the backdrop; wearing something too fancy would steal Jun’s thunder."
"Pfft."
Tong Dan couldn’t hold back her laughter, sizing him up, "Dear President Jiang, aren’t you too confident? No one’s worried you’re stealing the groom’s spotlight, but you can’t embarrass him either. You dressed like a realtor while helping with the wedding — what’s the bride’s side going to think?"
Jiang Chen pondered, "Seems reasonable."
He promptly set down what seemed to be the most economical suit there, "Then will you all help pick one?"
"Qing Gege, you do it."
Tong Dan turned around and said.
Fang Qing did not refuse, her gaze moving along the display rack, then picked up a double-breasted lapel black suit.
The price was relatively moderate.
yuan a day.
At least it wouldn’t look like a realtor riding a little electric bike.
Tong Dan said nothing, as long as it looked decent; after all, she knew well the current accomplishments of a certain individual.
In this store, no matter the price, to him it was all junk.
"President Jiang, go and try it on."
"No need to try. Qing Gege’s taste is unquestionable; let’s go with this set."
"That won’t do. A suit has to be tried on to see if it fits. This is not like before, where everything was custom-tailored."
Tong Dan shoved the clothes into his hands, "Make haste."
So Jiang Chen had no choice but to take the clothes into the fitting room.
"When you changed into that bridesmaid dress earlier, he was stunned, as if he hadn’t seen a woman before."
Seizing the moment, Tong Dan took the chance to tease.
"Speaking ill of others behind their back is not a good habit."
Fang Qing’s face was as serene as a mirror lake: "Especially the boss."
Tong Dan choked, her eyes widening slightly.
"...Qing Gege, aren’t you two getting married?"
Fang Qing looked at her, "I’m reminding you, with his temperament, if he knows you’re chirping behind his back, he’ll definitely give you trouble."
Tong Dan was lost in laughter, inevitably confused, unsure if she was supporting Jiang Chen or criticizing him.
"Is he really planning to attend Tie Jun’s wedding alone, not bringing anyone?"
Tong Dan changed the subject, leaned close to Fang Qing, and whispered.
"Li Shuru isn’t close with Tie Jun."
Tong Dan was speechless.
Qing Gege, you’re pretty straightforward.
"I think that’s not the only reason."
Tong Dan replied meaningfully.
"Then what do you think it is?"
Fang Qing tilted her head and asked.
Since the other was so candid, there was no need to beat around the bush for herself either, Tong Dan pursed her lips and quietly said: "I think Jiang Chen still cares about you; not bringing anyone is being thoughtful about your feelings."
"Do you know what you’re saying?"
Tong Dan froze.
"Li Shuru is your superior."
Fang Qing continued.
"..."
Tong Dan was at a loss for words, then protested: "After all, you’re my buddy!"
"The current environment isn’t good; having a good job is something to cherish."
Fang Qing walked away.
Tong Dan was frozen, helplessly amused, calling to her retreating silhouette, "You don’t recognize good intentions!"
"How’s it look?"
Comrade Jiang Chen came out after changing, asking Qing Mei for her opinion.
The double-breasted design added a touch of solemnity, smooth and firm shoulder lines, fitting well, outlining a wide yet unburdened shoulder and back profile, pants lines straight and fluid, matching the color scheme with slightly tapered trousers hanging naturally, paired with a gentle sky-blue fine-check linen shirt inside, with the top two buttons undone and collar slightly open, giving a relaxed and cozy vibe.
Although it’s just 500 a day, a certain person wore it with class, wore it with style, wore it with presence, without embellishing it with a tie, casually rolling up the cuffs, an understated elegance came forward, blending with the settled charm through time.
Even Tong Dan, approaching, couldn’t find fault, secretly sighing.
Indeed.
Status and position are a man’s best qualities.
She believed the same set of clothes, worn by someone else, surely wouldn’t achieve the same effect; otherwise, it wouldn’t be priced at just 500.
"Perhaps we should switch to the 200 set."
She joked.
"Why switch? This one fits so well."
Tie Jun came over, looking at his friend dressed in suit and tie, eyes gleaming, "Bromantic vibes everywhere."
"It’s the first time I’ve seen you dressed in a suit."
He gave a thumbs-up, learning from before, "Looking sharp!"
"Aren’t you afraid he’ll steal your thunder?"
Tong Dan teased.
"If I were afraid of him overshadowing, would I have asked him to be my best man?"
Tie Jun was entirely unconcerned, then placed a hand on Jiang Chen’s shoulder, "A suave and dashing best man is a point of pride for me."
Tong Dan’s gaze fell on the hand resting on a certain someone’s shoulder.
What does it mean to not forget each other in times of wealth?
This is it.
Nowadays.
How many people still have the privilege to place their hands on this person’s shoulders?
