Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1407 - 1381: The Ferrari of the Suit World
Previously on Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group...
Ye Chen walked out of the company and drove straight to the mall.
Since Su Wanyi’s company is located in the city center, it is surrounded by relatively high-end malls.
He could easily find clothes that satisfy him at any of them.
Of course, attending a dinner party would require a suit, regardless of Ye Chen’s dislike for it. After all, it was Su Wanyi’s grandfather’s birthday banquet, and any slight neglect would be inappropriate.
After parking the car, Ye Chen headed straight to the men’s clothing section on the fourth floor.
He glanced around and noticed a brand he liked: Brioni, an Italian brand, known as the Ferrari of the suit world.
Normally, Ye Chen would opt for a custom order, which takes two months and involves 185 processes.
But he needed it urgently now, so he could only choose from the styles available in the store. With his standard body type, any style would do.
Ye Chen walked towards the store, and a smiling female attendant greeted him.
"Hello, sir. I’m delighted to serve you. How can I assist you?"
Seeing the handsome man walk into the store, the female attendant’s eyes sparkled with infatuation.
Firstly, not many people can afford to shop here, as the brand’s clothes start in the tens of thousands, and can even reach hundreds of thousands.
Secondly, those with careers are usually older and on the heavier side. To see someone young and fit like the man in front of her was extremely rare.
You could say Ye Chen could pass for a model, and people would believe it.
Unsurprisingly, Ye Chen’s arrival attracted the attention of the female attendants who were just gossiping together; they all stopped chatting and rushed to stand in front of him.
The scene gave Ye Chen quite a startle, and out of courtesy, he smiled and nodded to them.
The female attendants were elated, as charming and wealthy young men like Ye Chen were rare finds.
Ye Chen’s casual gesture sparked a discussion among the female attendants.
"Wow! Did you see that? He smiled at me!"
"Stop flattering yourself; he smiled at me."
"Look at yourself in the mirror before you talk. With that attitude, you dare claim he smiled at you?"
"What’s wrong with me? I’m way better compared to you."
The two attendants nearly quarreled over Ye Chen.
Thankfully, they were aware of the store’s rules; any fighting and they would be fired, so they managed to suppress their anger.
Though they were initially on good terms, they now found each other disagreeable.
The attendant assisting Ye Chen followed him silently, without speaking, though she thought to herself.
"This guy is really handsome. It would be amazing to have a boyfriend like him."
Actually, Ye Chen wasn’t fond of attendants sticking by him while shopping, nor did he like them constantly chatting.
This attendant only briefly introduced the suits when Ye Chen picked one up, which was why she continued to stay by his side.
"Could you please get me this in my size? I’d like to try it on," Ye Chen said with a smile.
After he finished speaking, he noticed the attendant didn’t respond and just stared at him, which left Ye Chen feeling quite frustrated.
Ye Chen realized she was somewhat spellbound by his looks.
Seeing Ye Chen speaking to the attendant made the others envious.
"Could you please get me this in my size? I’d like to try it on," Ye Chen said again, with a resigned expression.
It was only then that the attendant snapped back to reality, blushing for her slight misconduct.
"Sir, please wait a moment," she said before hurriedly walking away.
A moment later, she returned with a suit, which was quite casual and suited Ye Chen’s age.
Ye Chen indeed had a good eye; the suit he chose was from the latest collection and a limited edition. Each size only had one set, and beyond that, it would need to be custom-made.
"Sir, please follow me to the fitting room," the attendant said with a smile.
Her face still slightly flushed from the earlier incident.
Ye Chen followed her to the fitting room, took the suit she handed him, and walked in.
As he entered the fitting room, the other attendants gathered outside to wait for Ye Chen, who was trying on the suit.
They say clothes make the man, and Ye Chen was already handsome in casual wear.
Wearing the suit, Ye Chen would undoubtedly be irresistible.
Inside the fitting room, Ye Chen was changing clothes when suddenly the phone rang. He wondered who had chosen such a time to call.
However, upon checking the phone, he swallowed back his expletives.
Because it wasn’t anyone else calling; it was Su Wanyi.
Moreover, it wasn’t just a voice call but a video call, and with his upper body still bare, he couldn’t pick up.
He could only let the phone ring continuously.
Su Wanyi, holding the phone and seeing no answer for a long time, grew puzzled.
"What on earth is Ye Chen doing? Why isn’t he answering my call?"
Su Wanyi called to check if Ye Chen’s suit purchase had her approval.
But seeing he wasn’t answering, she furrowed her brows.
The attendants, hearing the constant ringing from the fitting room and seeing no answer, speculated about the caller’s identity.
But they were sure it wasn’t Ye Chen’s girlfriend.
Some of them even fantasized about holding hands with Ye Chen, strolling down the street.
Yet, the next second, their faces turned to disappointment.
Seeing it was Su Wanyi’s call, Ye Chen hastily finished changing, fearing she would fret and bombard him with questions.
Once dressed, Ye Chen called back; this time, it was a video call.
In her office, feeling down, Su Wanyi instantly took the call upon seeing Ye Chen’s name.
"Honey, what were you doing? Why didn’t you answer my call?" Su Wanyi asked, sounding a bit complaining.
"You say that, but I was changing clothes. If I had answered, you would’ve seen everything," Ye Chen replied, pretending to be aggrieved.
"Tch, I wouldn’t want to see that. It’s not like I haven’t seen it before," Su Wanyi retorted, rolling her eyes at him.
However, as soon as she said it, she realized something was off and her face flushed.
