Chapter 40: Buying Clothes for Suisui

The elevator "dinged" and arrived at the 36th floor. This floor was the second from the top, and its internal level in the hotel was second only to the presidential suite on the top floor.

Wen Chi had only lived in a collective dormitory briefly during the talent show and when he first debuted. After quickly rising to fame, he soon moved out and had been living in hotels for a long time. Some people advised him to buy a house as an investment, but he refused. Because of this, some people secretly laughed at him, saying that he was a newly rich person with shallow vision.

However, Xia Kai didn't mean that. He simply thought that it was not good for Wen Chi to always live in a hotel and that it didn't feel like home. Unfortunately, all his nagging along the way couldn't arouse any reaction from Wen Chi.

The silent wheels of the suitcase quietly slid across the wool carpeted corridor. At the end, Wen Chi took out his room card. With two "beeps", the door opened, and wow, it was so spacious in front of them!

The room mainly featured a wabi-sabi style of white and light gray, with coarse pottery and old wood as ornaments here and there. The overall look was simple and elegant, and the air was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood and rosin, which was a special scent blended by a famous perfume brand for Hotel S. It was unique and tasteful.

The room was spacious and empty, and everywhere was clean and spotless. This was partly due to the efforts of the hotel cleaners and partly because Wen Chi didn't have many things here. It seemed that one suitcase could pack up all his belongings and he could leave at any time. No wonder Xia Kai kept nagging.

"By the way, the company asked us to drop by when we have time," Xia Kai said, unconsciously showing a bit of sarcasm in his words. "Probably because they saw the variety show's popularity rising and want to mend fences with us. Humph, why didn't they do it earlier?"

Although he was complaining, Xia Kai was still happy in his heart. It was too difficult to fight alone in the entertainment industry. With a big company behind Wen Chi, his future path would be much easier.

Wen Chi didn't have much of a reaction after hearing it. He glanced at Xia Kai indifferently, with a look as if he were looking at a naive person, and just said "Oh". Looking down at his watch, he said, "Pack up and get ready to go out."

Xia Kai was just taking a bottle of cola from the minibar and was about to open it to drink. When he heard this, his mouth opened wide: "Ah? You're going out? Didn't you say you had business tomorrow?"

In Xia Kai's impression, Wen Chi was a very homebody person with few friends. Most of his time outside of work was spent staying at home, or rather, in the hotel. It was rare for him to take the initiative to go out, and Xia Kai found it strange.

Wen Chi "hummed" and said, "Going shopping."

Xia Kai didn't think much and nodded in agreement: "Exactly. Let's go eat something. The airplane meal didn't fill me up at all!"

Before going out, Xia Kai excitedly changed his clothes and fiddled in front of the mirror for almost ten minutes. Looking at Wen Chi, who was still wearing the black clothes and pants from the plane ride and hadn't changed at all, Xia Kai's dawdling finally made him impatient: "How much longer?"

"Right away! Right away!" Xia Kai fiddled with his hair a few more times and finally managed to style it to his liking. But when he stood up and compared himself with Wen Chi, although Wen Chi's hair was messy from being pressed by the hat, his aura still overpowered Xia Kai. Xia Kai's shoulders slumped: "Sure enough, the difference between people..."

Wen Chi ignored him, called the hotel to arrange a car, and then went down to the garage with Xia Kai. A black Bentley was already waiting there, and the middle-aged driver in white gloves, seeing them, bowed respectfully and opened the car door.

Xia Kai whispered, "Hotel S really deserves to be the leading hotel in the country. The service is excellent."

Wen Chi remained silent and bent down to sit in the back seat. Xia Kai happily sat next to him.

The car drove steadily all the way and finally arrived at the destination - S Mall. This mall was amazing. It belonged to the same group as Hotel S and was among the top luxury malls in the country. All the brands that had settled in were international top luxury brands.

When Xia Kai entered, he was stunned by the magnificent and luxurious decoration of the mall: "Really, are we really going to shop here? Xiao Chi, don't forget that we just paid the liquidated damages not long ago. Our accounts might be a bit tight. Maybe... we should change to another place?"

"Brother Xia."

"Ah?"

"Do you know how much a suite in Hotel S costs per night?"

"I don't know. Why?"

Wen Chi didn't say anything. Looking at Xia Kai's blank face, he somehow thought of Suisui. But Suisui was innocently cute, while Xia Kai was just plain silly.

"It's okay. Let's go." Wen Chi took the lead and started walking. Xia Kai had no choice but to follow.

"If you really want to shop... it's okay, Brother Xia will lend you some money! But be careful, my savings are limited!" Xia Kai thought of his wife-fund that he had saved for several years and felt his heart ache.

Wen Chi's mouth curved slightly. He took the lead and entered the elevator and pressed the 6th floor. Xia Kai was so preoccupied with worrying about his money that he didn't notice the floor at all. When he got out of the elevator and saw the surrounding environment:

"Wait, why is it the children's area?"

"Buying some clothes for Suisui." Wen Chi said as he walked into the nearest store.

The children's clothes in the store were dazzling. Whether it was the design or the fabric, the clothes sold in the town couldn't compare with them at all, and of course, the prices were not in the same league.

Xia Kai was attracted by a small dress and casually flipped over the price tag. His eyes almost popped out: How much? 32,800? Isn't this daylight robbery?

In just a moment of being stunned, Wen Chi had already picked out three or four sets. Xia Kai calculated his savings in his mind and embarrassedly moved closer: "Xiao Chi, my savings might... might not be enough."

Wen Chi glanced at him amusedly: "Don't worry. I don't need your money." As he said that, he reached out to call the cashier and handed over a black-gold embossed card.

Xia Kai was dumbfounded. Even if he was stupid, he could tell that this card was extraordinary! Could it be that...

"So you do have savings? I knew you weren't a wasteful person!"

Facing Xia Kai's thumbs up, Wen Chi chose to remain silent.

Just as he was about to walk out of the store, Wen Chi caught a glimpse of a Rainbow Pony schoolbag on the shelf out of the corner of his eye. Instantly, the image of Suisui clutching the program team's supply bag, with her small face looking vigilant and pitiful like a frightened little beast, flashed through his mind.

Without hesitation, he handed over the card: "Check out the schoolbag too."

After shopping, the two of them had a meal in the mall and then returned with a full load. A large number of shopping bags were sent upstairs by the hotel staff, and Wen Chi and Xia Kai walked empty-handed, relaxed and carefree.

Xia Kai rarely agreed that living in a hotel had its advantages: "Spending money is really different!"

Just as he was sighing, suddenly a large group of people appeared in front. All of them were in suits and ties and had an extraordinary temperament.

Xia Kai glanced at the sign at the door: "It seems there's some entrepreneur conference today."

Wen Chi didn't say anything. His gaze slightly condensed, and he saw a young man standing out particularly in the crowd, like a crane among chickens. He was wearing a handmade three-piece suit, with a tall and straight figure, exuding an air of nobility and elegance; his eyebrows and eyes were as gentle as jade, but also carried a hint of coldness. When he talked to people, although he was smiling, the smile didn't reach his eyes. Everyone was surrounding him, but he wasn't arrogant at all, which made him seem even more unfathomable.

... Wen Chi's gaze quickly swept over and then withdrew. He pressed the brim of his hat down and urged, "Let's go." After saying that, without waiting for Xia Kai, he walked quickly towards the elevator.

Xia Kai was anxious: "Hey, Xiao Chi! Wait for me!"

The voice faded away, and the noble young man in the distance seemed to sense something and immediately turned around!
