Mu Jinyu, walking on the main street at that time, didn't know that because of his underpants, Gu Xiyan and Yu Linglong were frantically searching for his whereabouts.
He was also unaware that the perverse Trotsky had his eyes set on more of his underpants, as well as the silkworm babies he raised on Yinlong Mountain.
After buying a cell phone and parting ways with Ah-Biao and the others, he was carrying the bag with his suit in one hand and holding the cell phone in the other, searching for the exclusive store where he had purchased his clothes the day before.
That's right.
Even though he had earned 1.1 billion at the casino, which eventually turned into five houses, Mu Jinyu was still determined to stick to his money-loving nature and return the useless suit.
After all, it was worth over a hundred thousand yuan. If he could successfully return it, he would make a tidy profit.
Well, Mu Jinyu was a bit inflated now, over a hundred thousand yuan to him was just a small profit.
Originally, when he was on Yinlong Mountain, he might not encounter a patient worth millions in several years, and over a hundred thousand yuan was considered a huge sum of money to him at the time.
But two days after coming down the mountain, he began to degenerate.
He didn't regard the once huge sum of money as important anymore.
After all, a single act of saving a life was worth tens of millions, and a single gamble could net him over a billion.
Over a hundred thousand yuan was no big deal; if he could get it, he would, and if not, it was fine, too.
After Mu Jinyu located the nearest Face of Jade Exclusive Store, he put away his phone, reached into his pocket to touch the property deed and the house keys, and felt utterly contented.
Soon, he found a "Face of Jade" Exclusive Store.
This store wasn't the one he visited the day before, but since it's also "Face of Jade," they should be able to process returns, right?
Mu Jinyu decided to give it a try and if it really didn't work, he would look for the store where he made the purchase yesterday.
Thinking this, he was about to step into the exclusive store.
"I'm sorry, sir, but we do not allow customers who are not properly dressed to enter," said the two greeters at the door, who, instead of bowing down to welcome Mu Jinyu as he prepared to enter, stopped him with their hands and spoke the words of refusal with an apologetic tone.
"Huh? Why can't I go in?!" Mu Jinyu, upon hearing this, didn't try to force his way in, but stood still, looking up at the two expressionless greeters and asked with a puzzled frown.
The two greeters, upon hearing this, still maintained their expressionless faces and explained, "I'm sorry, our store specializes in luxury goods, and customers who are not neatly dressed are not allowed to enter to prevent the possibility of soiling the clothes. So, if you wish to enter, sir, please change into a clean set of clothes and come back. We truly apologize…"
Their refusal to let Mu Jinyu in wasn't out of disdain but rather due to the rules.
The clothing in the store, each item costing several tens of thousands or over a hundred thousand... If they allowed construction workers to come in and dirty the clothes, they couldn't afford to compensate for it.
Mu Jinyu, having heard this, finally understood the reason and also realized that he might have been able to strut in yesterday perhaps because of that silly woman, Gu Xiyan?!
Thinking of Gu Xiyan made Mu Jinyu feel a bit guilty.
If she found out that he went behind her back and returned the clothes she bought for him, he wondered if she would want to chop his head off.
Doing one job and earning twice from her really was quite embarrassing when he thought about it.
Mu Jinyu, feeling guilty, still prepared to persevere. If they really wouldn't let him in, then he would try the exclusive store he visited yesterday.
Opening the plastic bag in his hand, Mu Jinyu looked eagerly at the two greeters and said, "I only dressed this way for convenience. It would be too much trouble to go back and change clothes. Could you give me a break and let me in? I just bought a suit for 150,000 yuan at your other exclusive store yesterday, but it doesn't fit very well, so I wanted to come over to see if I could return it!"
Upon hearing this, the two greeters looked down at the suit in Mu Jinyu's bag, not quite sure whether it was from their store, and hesitantly asked, "May we have a look at it?"
"Sure," Mu Jinyu said, nodding immediately as he saw there was hope.
They took the suit out of the bag and identified the label; after confirmation that it did indeed originate from their "Face of Jade" brand, they bestowed Mu Jinyu with radiant smiles and bowed, saying, "Sir, please come in. We apologize for the earlier impertinence."
As greeters at a luxury brand store, they naturally had encountered wealthy individuals who intentionally dressed down like Mu Jinyu, but as long as they revealed their status, of course they could enter.
This was the real reason they dared not mock anyone outright — lest they be scolded by the store manager for lacking insight and be fired.
Mu Jinyu, seeing that he could now enter, was overjoyed and waved his hands, saying, "It's fine, you're only doing your job. I'll go inside."
Having said that, Mu Jinyu confidently walked into the exclusive store with his suit.
The two greeters, touched by Mu Jinyu's graciousness, couldn't help but feel good about him.
They turned to watch his retreating figure, thinking to themselves that this was the broad-mindedness of a successful man indeed.
Thinking of Mu Jinyu's handsome face, and that casually purchased suit worth over a hundred thousand yuan...
They began to be smitten, hoping to further their relationship with him if possible.
...
Unaware of the two beautiful greeters' daydreams, Mu Jinyu walked into the "Face of Jade" exclusive store and went straight to the cash register amidst the astonished glances of the many socialites and noblewomen present.
At the cash register, Mu Jinyu took out the suit he had worn once the day before, and said to the store manager, who looked surprised and puzzled, "Are you the manager? I just bought a suit here yesterday, but it doesn't fit very well, so I wanted to come and return it."
Not knowing if he could return an item bought at another exclusive store here, and since it was all the same luxury brand, Mu Jinyu simply said he had bought it at this location.
The store manager, a charming woman in her thirties, flickered with surprise in her eyes upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words. As she opened the bag, she asked, "Return it? You bought it yesterday? But how come I don't remember seeing you at all!"
At her words, Mu Jinyu's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he became somewhat flustered.
He quickly explained, "Maybe you were too busy to notice."
"Perhaps," replied the manager, and she began to inspect the suit that Mu Jinyu wanted to return.
Then she discovered that the suit Mu Jinyu had bought was personally designed by their company's president, with only a few available in each branch in River City, and their store had only ten left. She had just counted them that morning, and there were still ten.
This meant...
Mu Jinyu's suit was not bought from this store!
Realizing this, the store manager suddenly looked up at Mu Jinyu and said coldly, "Your suit wasn't purchased here, was it?"
Her words sounded tentative, but her tone and sharp gaze were absolutely certain!
The guilty Mu Jinyu immediately felt panicked.
