Chapter 6: The Art of Gift-Giving

“Qin Fan, General Manager of CK Group!”

With a smile, Qin Fan produced his business card and handed it to Mu Qingyan.

“I just took office today, and to my surprise, our group has so many flaws. But Miss Mu, please don’t be disappointed in the company. We’ll clean up any bad apples like Wang Dong as soon as we find them. But I can’t handle it all alone. I wonder if Miss Mu would be willing to come and help me, even if it’s just as an office secretary?”

Originally, Qin Fan only wanted to bring Mu Qingyan over, but with such a good opportunity now, he naturally had to offer a bigger price. As for Li Qian, she could go directly to being the General Manager’s assistant.

“What about CK Fashion?”

Mu Qingyan thought for a moment and said, “I think if I can continue to stay at CK Fashion, I can contribute even more to the company. After all, this is the environment I’m familiar with, and I originally studied fashion design…”

Qin Fan thought that in this situation, Mu Qingyan wouldn’t refuse his proposal, but he didn’t expect to get such an answer.

The plot actually changed? Just by interfering with the designed “script,” the plot changed? Qin Fan was filled with surprise! But now he didn’t have Super Intelligence and couldn’t think deeply, so he couldn’t understand the reason.

But this was greatly beneficial to Qin Fan. First, Mu Qingyan staying at CK Fashion, according to the impression Qin Fan had given her, naturally made her a staunch Qin supporter. Second, with the plot changing and her not working at CK headquarters, would Mu Qingyan still meet Chen Feiyang? Without Mu Qingyan’s help, Chen Feiyang’s advantages would be greatly reduced.

Of course, these were still unknown. Qin Fan was very clear-headed and knew that Mu Qingyan was too sentimental and not the ideal candidate for General Manager of CK Fashion. What if, under the general trend of the plot, she still met Chen Feiyang and fell in love with him, helping him wholeheartedly? Wouldn’t Qin Fan be helping his opponent?

“Oh, that’s fine too. Then, you’ll temporarily be the team leader of CK Fashion’s branch. In the future, the position of General Manager of the branch will also be yours. I have high hopes for you!”

As he spoke, Qin Fan drew a big pie for Mu Qingyan. (画了一张大饼 – huà le yī zhāng dà bǐng – A Chinese idiom meaning to make a promise that is unrealistic or difficult to fulfill.)

Afterward, Qin Fan pointed to Mu Qingyan’s clothes and shrugged. “I have to say, today really is a terrible day. Just starting work and running into this kind of thing in the company. But luckily, I was able to meet Miss Mu. Now, I hope Miss Mu can give me a chance to make amends. Please don’t refuse.”

Because of the intense movements just now, Mu Qingyan’s clothes were covered in stains and wrinkles. So after saying this, Qin Fan didn’t give Mu Qingyan a chance to refuse and pulled her towards the hotel next door. Today’s opportunity made Mu Qingyan have a good impression of Qin Fan, so in a moment of daze, she was pulled out by Qin Fan.

“CK Fashion has various clothing and accessory benefits for ordinary employees. As the future design team leader of our company, Miss Mu, you have the right to choose your benefits.”

While Qin Fan was speaking, the two had arrived at a boutique.

As a world-renowned luxury brand, Louis Vuitton is known worldwide for its clothing, accessories, and handbags. The beautiful music, magnificent decorations, changing bright colors of the lights, and dazzling shimmering floor, when Qin Fan led Mu Qingyan into the store, the greeter at the door appropriately bowed and softly said, “Welcome to the boutique!”

Being in it, even Qin Fan seemed to feel a trace of decadence, let alone Mu Qingyan, who was entering it for the first time. She was slightly timid, looking at the gorgeous clothes in front of the display stands, the string of zeros on the price tags made her feel that even her breathing was about to stop.

Mu Qingyan, from an ordinary background, although her unique vision made her the mainstay of the CK Fashion design team, her material conditions limited her choices in this area. Seeing such world-class, luxurious clothing at this time, she was naturally affected by it.

But in an instant, Mu Qingyan made up her mind. She turned her head and was about to say something to Qin Fan, but she saw Qin Fan casually pick up a crystal ornament and hand it to her with a smile, “It’s also my first day at work, and there’s not much money in my card, so I can’t equip Miss Mu with all the clothes. But for our first meeting, a gift is essential. Miss Mu, please don’t refuse.”

Because it was just a small crystal ornament, the price wasn’t outrageous. But because of the professional designer, the ornament cleverly folded into beautiful curves. A pretty and beautiful trinket was an irresistible attraction for every girl.

After considering it slightly, Mu Qingyan took the ornament and chuckled, “President Qin is too kind. I will definitely cherish it.”

“Then, find a suitable set of clothes for this lady!”

Qin Fan casually instructed the salesperson. The words just now were just a small trick to make Mu Qingyan not refuse him. Even giving gifts requires a gradual process. Accepting the first time, there will be a second time. From the first time he met Mu Qingyan, Qin Fan had already begun to fully bloom his charm. This wasn’t hypocrisy, but a genuine desire to embrace this beautiful woman. As the author of “World-Class Leisure,” each of the heroines was the perfect dream lover for Qin Fan. For the girl he liked, Qin Fan naturally had to go all out, even if he used all means…

“This is still unnecessary. I appreciate President Qin’s kindness…” Looking at the high prices on the clothing tags, Mu Qingyan looked embarrassed. It wasn’t that she didn’t like these beautiful clothes, but she adhered to her duty. Mu Qingyan asked herself that she hadn’t done anything today, and even completely because of Qin Fan’s help, she had gotten rid of the troubles that had been plaguing her.

“Don’t look at those useless numbers, Mu Qingyan. Didn’t you get upset today? I heard that shopping can completely release the anger women suffer, and also regulate endocrine, maintain complexion, and make you feel happy. Today, just treat me as your boyfriend, accompanying you shopping.”

Qin Fan smiled and said very naturally.

Not to mention Mu Qingyan, who was in it, even the female salesperson next to her was impressed by Qin Fan’s gentleness and consideration at this moment, staring wide-eyed at the well-deserved protagonist at this time, revealing an envious look.

Without waiting for Mu Qingyan to say anything, Qin Fan waved his hand, casually picked up a dress, and handed it to the salesperson, indicating for Mu Qingyan to try it on.

Afterward, Mu Qingyan was like a clothes rack, starting to be promoted with clothes of various colors by the salesperson. She didn’t even understand the principles of color matching and temperament matching, her expression stiff, her movements rigid, and every time she changed a piece of clothing, she would reveal a hint of palpitations.

But beautiful clothes were a fatal temptation for every girl. Along with trying on one piece of clothing after another, Mu Qingyan gradually relaxed, and even occasionally showed a smile, marveling at herself in the dressing mirror.

The female salesperson next to her looked enviously at the beautiful Mu Qingyan. In this metropolis full of temptations, the girls’ clothes were naturally colorful and beautiful. The streets were full of bare fair arms and thighs, with various kinds of heavy and light makeup, filled with a fashionable and beautiful atmosphere. But no matter which one, it required sufficient money to support. Obviously, the girl in their store now had strong capital support.

“Miss, this is the latest style this month. The rich cyan color can match accessories of various colors. The all-porcelain button ornaments also have a layer of high-quality zippers that can meet all your needs. There are only 9999 pieces worldwide. What do you think?”

At this time, Qin Fan’s hands were already placed with several sets of clothes: a black semi-skirt cheongsam, a pink new-style dress, a light blue body fashion, etc. Seeing the clothes Mu Qingyan was wearing now, Qin Fan couldn’t help but applaud. Mu Qingyan’s own conditions were very good. Coupled with this dress, Qin Fan could only use one word to describe her now, and that was perfect!

“Wrap all of these up.”

After Mu Qingyan had finished trying on almost all the clothes that suited her temperament, Qin Fan instructed the salesperson. It was only at this time that the shop owner and the salesperson breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, they were even more amazed.

“Sir, all of these… wrap them all up?”

The salesperson felt a little out of breath, but she still confirmed very professionally.

“Yes! Do you think any of these clothes are not suitable for this lady?”

Qin Fan smiled and made a small joke with the salesperson.

“Of course not! This lady is simply a natural clothes rack. Coupled with the clothes in our store, the effect is quite perfect. I can guarantee that even models wearing these clothes wouldn’t have these effects.”

“Qin… Fan, um… are you going to buy all these?”

Mu Qingyan, who was extremely happy when trying on clothes, hesitated when she reached the final stage. She was also shocked when she heard Qin Fan’s words. She wasn’t a vain girl. Even if she was temporarily filled with various gorgeous clothes, she also knew the value of these clothes. Originally, if Qin Fan gave her a piece of clothing, Mu Qingyan felt that she could barely accept it, but so many beautiful clothes piled up were definitely a huge sum, which was a burden for Mu Qingyan.

Perceiving this keenly, Qin Fan said with a smile, “Buy them first. In the future, every time you successfully complete a task assigned by the company, I’ll reward you with a piece of clothing. How’s that?”

So, if a rich man wants to seduce a woman, there are too many tricks. And even the most determined woman, in the face of various excuses, always seems to be slow to realize, eventually falling into the beautiful dream woven by the man.

Mu Qingyan was no exception now. Hearing Qin Fan’s explanation, she instantly felt much less pressure and felt that this proposal wasn’t unacceptable.
