Chapter 368: Chapter 365: Meeting
Moreover, Gu Yue really was a wealthy woman, having tried on several suits and feeling none of them were quite right.
Gu Yue only took one look before telling Zhang Hao to change out of them quickly.
By the time he got to the last suit, Zhang Hao could tell from Gu Yue’s disdainful expression that this one also hadn’t caught her fancy.
"This is already the last suit. It’s like choosing the tallest dwarf, just pick one and be done with it."
"That won’t do. If you go out with me and you’re dressed too casually, it’ll mean I have no taste, and others will laugh at me."
So that’s what Gu Yue was thinking; Zhang Hao had no choice but to tell the menswear store staff to put together two more outfits.
The staff in the men’s store were also meeting such a demanding customer for the first time.
However, the few outfits they put together were all pricey.
If they did sell them, their sales targets for the month would be met.
"Don’t just pair expensive items, pair the right items. Understand? Expensive clothes put together without a primary and secondary focus look like a nouveau riche," Gu Yue said at a crucial moment, making the staff hesitate.
Perhaps it was because Zhang Hao had tried on several outfits here without finding one to his liking.
So the boss personally came out to help put together an outfit.
"I personally designed these clothes, and they’re finely crafted. This gentleman has a very standard figure."
"He should look very good in my clothes, so let me personally put together an outfit for him."
Gu Yue nodded, assuming that since the woman in front of her was a designer, she must have very good taste.
At least much better than that of the salespeople.
The boss picked out a pair of trousers, a shirt, and the inner layers from the rack.
In hand, these garments looked inconspicuous and quite ordinary.
"Sir, please try on this set,"the female boss said and then handed over the set of clothes to Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao, not the least bit annoyed, returned to the fitting room, carefully hung up the clothes he was wearing, and changed into the newly paired outfit. There were no mirrors in the dressing room, so after putting it on, apart from feeling comfortable, he had no idea about the look.
After coming out of the dressing room, he went straight to Gu Yue. The outfit brightened her eyes immediately.
She even stood up and carefully inspected Zhang Hao from all sides.
"This outfit is not bad, much better than the previous ones. What do you think?"
Zhang Hao stepped in front of the mirror, looked left and right, and found that the clothes indeed looked good on him.
They even managed to remedy some of his figure’s shortcomings.
The boss came over and said, "I believe my eye for clothes won’t let you down."
Being genuinely pleased with the outfit, Gu Yue paid for it without hesitation.
After buying the outfit and shoes, Gu Yue took Zhang Hao to the airport.
The destination was quite far, whether by car or high-speed rail, and nowhere near as fast or convenient as flying.
Besides, Zhang Hao didn’t need to worry about any of these details.
After much travel, they finally arrived. Each of them booked a room and there was still some time before the cocktail party started.
Zhang Hao took the opportunity to rest well.
In the past two days, accompanying Gu Yue had drained both his physical and mental energy, leaving him in very poor spirits.
Wanting to be in good condition herself, Gu Yue did not pester Zhang Hao further.
Since arriving here, Zhang Hao had been hiding the truth from He Qianhui, not telling her.
When He Qianhui called him, he even pretended to be working at the hospital and told her not to worry.
He Qianhui was also concerned about the progress of her work and whether that rogue boss had really made any moves on her.
According to what He Qianhui said, up to now, that boss had not exhibited any inappropriate behavior.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao temporarily let go of his worries.
But who knew that immediately after, a comment from He Qianhui made Zhang Hao tense up again.
"But the boss said he wants me to accompany him to an evening party tonight, and I’m hesitating over whether to go or not," she said.
Zhang Hao did not respond but told He Qianhui to think for herself, believing she was an adult with her own considerations.
After Zhang Hao finished speaking, He Qianhui already had her answer in mind.
"I must do it for that two percent company share; rest assured, I won’t let that guy take the slightest advantage of me," she stated.
"Just wait for me at home, wait for me to return triumphantly."
However, at this moment, He Qianhui was unaware that Zhang Hao had already arrived and that the two of them would encounter each other at the evening party tonight.
As time ticked by, the sun finally set beyond the mountains.
As soon as the sun went down, Gu Yue also woke up and, realizing it was getting late, began to hurriedly dress and make herself up.
Zhang Hao felt he had nothing special to dress up for, so after changing into the outfit she had bought for him, he waited in Gu Yue’s room.
At 8 p.m., the two arrived on time at the site of the evening party.
This party was far more bustling than any other they had attended before.
Gu Yue, arm in arm with Zhang Hao, walked in. With their stunning looks, they turned heads wherever they went.
"Is your sister here yet, has she arrived?" Gu Yue whispered.
Zhang Hao shook his head, "Haven’t seen her yet; who knows if she will show up today."
"If she doesn’t come today, then isn’t my trip here a waste?" Gu Yue complained.
"How can it be a waste? Didn’t you tell me before that everyone who comes to these parties is either rich or noble? Maybe today you’ll manage to make a cooperation happen," he retorted.
Gu Yue smiled, saying nothing; her attendance at the party wasn’t solely for Zhang Hao’s sake.
It was naturally also for the business of the Gu Family, which she hoped would grow stronger and stronger.
If there was a suitable cooperation opportunity, she would pursue a discussion; if not, it was just a matter of joining in the lively atmosphere.
About fifteen minutes after staying at the party, Zhang Hao finally spotted He Qianhui.
She wore a strapless evening gown that left much of her skin exposed, causing many women there to feel inferior and look away.
A string of diamond necklaces adorned her neck, and her hair was curled, making her appear as if she had stepped out of an oil painting.
Initially, He Qianhui didn’t notice Zhang Hao in the crowd but felt like a gaze was intently following her.
Gu Yue was amazed at the beauty of this woman when she saw her.
"Hard to believe, this woman is really beautiful," she exclaimed.
Zhang Hao replied calmly, "That’s my sister."
Gu Yue suddenly turned and stared at Zhang Hao, "No way, are you serious? She looks older than you; how could she possibly be your sister."
Zhang Hao shrugged, "If you don’t believe it, then so be it. Anyway, tonight’s mission is on you."
"If you can’t do it, then the deal between us is off."
Gu Yue looked at the woman, then at the man beside her, and huffed lightly.
"Are you trying to increase the difficulty for me on purpose? Rest assured, I will definitely rescue your sister and as for that man, well, you better think of something yourself," she stated.
Seeing his woman smiling in the arms of another man was incredibly painful for Zhang Hao.
But he was powerless at the moment and could only watch everything unfold before his eyes.
