22: Chapter 22 CANALI [Connelly]
Seeing the order finalized so quickly, the Sales Associate was very happy.
After all, she hadn't really done much; the three girls had picked out the styles themselves.
This commission was essentially handed to her on a silver platter.
She thought to herself, "If I could have a few customers like this every day, how great would that be?"
"Sir, please come this way to pay."
He followed the Sales Associate to the cashier.
"Sir, one jacket, one pair of trousers, and one pair of shoes. The total for the three items is 8,655. Would you like to pay via mobile or bank card?"
"Mobile payment, please."
"Very well, sir. Please open your QR code so I can scan it."
"Beep."
Seeing the words "Payment Successful," the system in Li Luo's mind chimed in.
"System: Task completed. You may open the Primary Real Estate Gift Pack in the system warehouse."
"System: Primary Real Estate Gift Pack. Randomly select a property valued between one million and five million."
Hearing the system prompt, the price was about what Li Luo had guessed.
After all, there weren't many good houses in a Jiangning like the Jiangning for under one million.
Resettlement housing might be possible, but the system surely wouldn't give him that kind of house!
Li Luo wasn't in a hurry to open it now; he would study it slowly when he got back.
"Sir, will you be wearing these now, or shall I pack them for you?"
"I'll wear them directly. Please cut off the tags for me."
"Very well. Shall I pack up the clothes you are currently wearing?"
"No need, just throw them in the trash."
The Sales Associate was stunned by this.
"Certainly, sir. After you change, just leave your old clothes in the fitting room, and I will come to throw them away later."
Li Luo nodded.
"Sorry for the trouble."
"You are too polite."
After Li Luo changed into the new clothes, he followed the three girls out of CANALI [Canali].
"Welcome back again!"
Seeing Li Luo wearing the CANALI set, the three girls felt he looked much more energetic, though his hair was a bit long and looked messy.
"Li Luo, are you planning to tie your hair into a ponytail?"
"Don't tease me. I was already planning to get it cut today. Are you in a rush? If not, I'm going to get a haircut. I see a barbershop right next door."
"Go ahead and cut it. Even if we are in a rush, we can spare the time for you to get a haircut."
The four of them entered the barbershop.
Li Luo followed the receptionist's recommendation and found a Design Director.
After washing his hair, he sat in the chair.
"Hello, Handsome Guy. Do you have any ideas for the style?"
"No specific ideas. Just make it look fresh, clean, and sharp."
"Can do. Wait and see the result."
"I'm looking forward to it."
Li Luo knew that you look ugly for three days after a haircut because you haven't adapted to it yet, and after three days, you get used to it.
Sure enough, just after the stylist finished, Li Luo thought it looked pretty good, though he still couldn't quite get used to it—it was just a process, nothing he could do.
After leaving the barbershop, the three girls nodded.
Zhi Xia said, "Not bad, the cut is pretty good. It's a bit expensive, but I guess it's worth the price!"
The Design Director that Li Luo chose cost 158 yuan, which was indeed not cheap.
Ding Mengting added, "Uncle, you look decent now. Not bad, you're actually much more handsome."
Ling Jing said softly, "It's nice. It makes you look younger."
Li Luo was only twenty-seven years old, but because he never really took care of his appearance, he looked a bit older than his peers.
Li Luo hadn't cared about these things before, but now that he had the system, he should make some changes.
People cannot always live in the past.
It was time to live a different life for his future self.
As the saying goes, "The Buddha relies on gold leaf, and a person relies on clothing."
With the support of designer brands, Li Luo was living as his true self, and this was the charm of money.
"Uncle, you really are handsome now. The change from before is huge."
"That's right."
Zhi Xia and Ling Jing also nodded.
"Alright, stop teasing me. Aren't you going back? Let's go. I'll drive you back first; I still need to continue making money later."
"Then make a lot more money, Uncle, and treat us again next time. The taste today was really good."
As she spoke, Ding Mengting smacked her lips.
"No problem."
After dropping the three girls off at the school gate, Li Luo said to Ding Mengting, "Don't forget our agreement!"
Watching Ding Mengting's pretty face turn instantly red, Li Luo chuckled.
"You guys go back now. I'm off. See you next time."
Watching Li Luo's car drive away, Zhi Xia said softly, "My intuition tells me that Li Luo might actually be able to afford it. Through these two interactions, he doesn't seem like the type to brag."
Mengting, will you really call him that when the time comes?
Looking at her silent Best Friend, Ling Jing said in a gentle tone, "Xiao Ting, don't mind it. Li Luo was just joking with you, just teasing you. Don't take it seriously."
Ding Mengting finally looked up at her two Best Friends and said haughtily, "I'm not someone who can't afford to lose. If I have to call him that, I'll call him that. It's not like I'll lose a piece of flesh."
"Besides, if he can really afford those two cars, he must be a big tycoon. Even if I really became his girlfriend, I wouldn't be at a loss. I could save so many years of hard work. Although he only fits one of the 'tall, rich, and handsome' criteria, it is the most important one."
Zhi Xia and Ling Jing exchanged glances.
"Xiao Ting, you aren't serious, are you? Li Luo is eight years older than you."
"What's eight years? Have you forgotten Wang Yan from our class? She's being kept by a bald old man nearly fifty outside of school, wearing designer brands and carrying designer bags every day."
"And she shows it off every day. Anyone with eyes can see that man is married and could be her father. I really don't know how she manages to stomach it."
"And I saw that bald man once outside of school; he must have been there to pick up Wang Yan. That big gold chain, big gold watch, driving a Mercedes-Benz, with his nose stuck so high in the air, as if he was afraid people wouldn't know he was rich."
"Li Luo doesn't have these bad habits. Not only is he low-key, but he's also easy to get along with. He doesn't have any of those bad habits that rich people have. You two can rest assured, if Li Luo turns out to be really rich, I definitely won't be ungrateful. I will definitely take my Best Friends along to get rich together."
Watching Ding Mengting get more and more outrageous, Zhi Xia flicked her on the forehead.
"Stop daydreaming. Let's head back. We've been shopping for ages and I'm exhausted. I'm going back to sleep for a bit."
"Let's go then."
As they spoke, the three girls entered the university, chatting and laughing.
The surrounding students watched the three campus beauties who were always inseparable.
If they could win the heart of one of them, they would be willing to live a few years less.
Li Luo looked at the notification that payment had just arrived and began his afternoon of taking orders.
Time quickly reached eight in the evening, and he finished the last order.
Li Luo closed the Ride-hailing service background app, ending his day's work.
Every time he felt he was taking something seriously, time passed super quickly.
He didn't even realize it was already eight o'clock.
He parked the car in a nearby parking spot and found a random restaurant by the side of the road to grab a bite.
After eating, he sat in his car, feeling a bit excited.
He planned to check today's harvest.
"System, view personal information."
[Name: Li Luo] [Age: 27] [Height: 1.75m] [Weight: 72kg] [Appearance: 70] [100% Mechanism] [Strength: 8, Spirit: 8, Stamina: 8, Constitution: 10] Note: The standard for a normal adult is 10. A standard below 5 increases the risk of physical illness. [Assets: 42,882 huaxia coin] [Positive Reviews: 50/100] Today Completed: 17/10 [Completed], refreshes automatically at 12 midnight. [Warehouse: Primary Real Estate Gift Pack] Unopened.
Summarizing today's harvest, basically everyone gave a five-star review today.
Mainly because Li Luo suddenly remembered wanting to buy a supercar, so he gave it his all for the positive review rate.
In the afternoon, he was very attentive to every passenger, almost to the point of giving them massages or kneading their feet, so basically everyone gave a positive review.
As for money, he earned over ten thousand today, and spent about seventeen thousand, so the difference wasn't huge.
Li Luo just took a simple look.
He was now focused entirely on positive reviews; he didn't care much about that bit of money anymore.
Once the system upgraded, he would be considered a bit wealthy, so he didn't care about this small amount in front of him.
He decided to try the lucky draw first.
He rubbed his hands together.
"System, lucky draw."
"System: Drawing, please wait."
Every time he did a lucky draw, Li Luo felt a bit nervous; it felt as exciting as opening a blind box.
"System: Draw failed. Host, please try again."
"Damn it!"
Although he knew the odds weren't high, Li Luo still complained.
However, thinking about it carefully, it was actually okay.
He had drawn four times so far and won twice, so the probability was fifty percent.
"System, open Primary Real Estate Gift Pack."
