In the time that followed, Gao Yan began teaching the four women how to mix six different flavors of milk tea. Although the six milk teas had different tastes, they all shared one characteristic: they were delicious.
"Senior, did you come up with these six milk tea flavors yourself?" Chen Lingling asked curiously.
"Sort of!" Gao Yan nodded. After spending about an hour together, he had also figured out the personalities of Chen Lingling and Chen Youwei.
Chen Lingling came from a good family, was lively, and spoke her mind without much calculation. Chen Youwei, on the other hand, was the honest type, always working quietly and never speaking up on her own.
"How did you come up with them? You're amazing!" Chen Lingling praised with admiration, knowing that with these six flavors, Gao Yan's milk tea shop was sure to be a hit.
"Alright, that's it for today. Remember, do not leak our milk tea recipe!" Gao Yan reminded them solemnly.
"Don't worry, boss, we know what's important!" Zhang Qin quickly assured him, and the other three women nodded in agreement. They wouldn't dare leak it anyway, as they had signed a confidentiality agreement. If they leaked the recipe, Gao Yan had the right to sue them and demand compensation.
Moreover, Gao Yan had been cautious, pre-mixing some of the ingredients in proportions. He would personally prepare the mixed ingredients in the future. As long as the proportions were off, it would be difficult for others to replicate the perfect taste of the milk tea.
Seeing that it was just past ten and there was only one public lecture today, starting at two in the afternoon, Gao Yan decided to buy himself some clothes and shoes.
Due to his foster parents' favoritism, his clothes were usually the cheaper kind. After entering university, he earned his tuition and living expenses through part-time work and was reluctant to buy anything expensive for himself.
Now that he had money, there was no need to skimp on himself. Moreover, after acquiring the Combat Master's skills, he had grown two centimeters taller, and his physique had changed significantly. His old clothes no longer fit well.
Although Nandu wasn't an international city like the capital or Modu, it was still a provincial capital. The University Town was located in the eastern suburbs of Nandu City, about seven or eight kilometers from downtown. Gao Yan's destination was Wanlong Mall.

Wanlong Mall was developed by Wanlong Group, the largest real estate development company in Yangdong Province. The chairman of Wanlong Group, Wang Wanlin, was a star entrepreneur in Yangdong Province, with a net worth exceeding a hundred billion, renowned nationwide.
Over twenty minutes later, Gao Yan arrived at Wanlong Mall using DiDi Ride-Hailing and took the elevator to the third floor. The third floor of the mall was filled with various domestic and international brand stores. Gao Yan stepped into the LV store.
There was no cliché scene where he was looked down upon by sales assistants because of his cheap attire. After all, sales assistants in such brand stores were specially trained, and mocking customers to their faces would never happen, though they might look down on them in their hearts.
Although LV's styles were a bit old-fashioned, they suited Gao Yan's taste because he wasn't a flashy person and didn't like to dress ostentatiously. Gao Yan picked out a T-shirt, a shirt, and two pairs of shorts. He immediately changed into a T-shirt and shorts, looked in the mirror, and felt, perhaps due to psychological reasons, that he looked a lot more handsome.
Checking the system panel, his charm had indeed increased by a point. Clothes do make the man.
"Sir, this outfit suits you very well. However, you might want to pick a pair of shoes to match!" suggested the young sales assistant standing beside him.
"Sure, let's pick a pair of shoes then!"
With the sales assistant's recommendation, Gao Yan found a pair of casual shoes and put them on. When it was time to pay, he was taken aback. Such a small amount of items cost 13,800 yuan. However, after a moment of hesitation, Gao Yan decisively paid the bill.
"Sir, would you like us to pack your old clothes?" the sales assistant asked.
"No need, please dispose of them for me!" Gao Yan waved his hand, and his gaze swept over the sunglasses in the store. He picked up a pair, tried them on, and liked what he saw in the mirror. The price tag read 3,680 yuan. Having already spent over ten thousand, there was no need to be stingy over three thousand more. So, Gao Yan paid again, took the shopping bags handed to him by the sales assistant, and walked out of the LV store with confident strides.
Next, Gao Yan went to the Nike store to buy a sports outfit and a pair of basketball shoes. Then he went to the Gucci store to buy a jacket and pants. The total expenditure was nearly thirty thousand.
"That should be enough!" Gao Yan decided to end his shopping spree for the day. Before acquiring the system, he never imagined he would spend thirty thousand in less than an hour. It was quite extravagant. The source of this chapter is g.com.
After walking around for a while, he felt a bit hungry. Planning to eat at the restaurant on the fourth floor, his appetite had increased significantly after his physical transformation, and he got hungry easily. Luckily, money was no longer an issue.
"Gao Yan?"
A somewhat uncertain voice called out. Gao Yan turned to see a pair of girls walking out of the Chanel store, arm in arm.
"It really is you!"
Zhuo Jiangyue released her companion's hand and quickly approached, stopping a meter away, looking Gao Yan up and down with a click of her tongue. "You, almost two years without seeing you, and you've changed so much!"
In truth, Gao Yan hadn't changed much over the past two years; it was only in the last few days that he had transformed. Zhuo Jiangyue was Gao Yan's high school classmate and desk mate. Both were top students at their school, but Gao Yan caught a cold and had a fever during the college entrance examination, underperforming and failing to get into his desired university. Zhuo Jiangyue, who performed normally, was admitted to Yangdong University of Science.
In high school, they both had a bit of a crush on each other, but because of the college entrance examination, neither of them broke the ice. Later, after Gao Yan's poor performance, he became somewhat self-destructive. Zhuo Jiangyue was quite beautiful, with a good family background, and Gao Yan's only asset was his academic performance. After failing the exam, he felt unworthy of Zhuo Jiangyue, leading to almost two years of university in the same city without any contact.
As for why Zhuo Jiangyue had feelings for him, it was simple. Once after school, Gao Yan saw Zhuo Jiangyue being harassed by some thugs outside the school. Without thinking, he rushed in to help. Though he didn't manage to play the hero, getting beaten up instead, from then on, Zhuo Jiangyue started to approach him actively.
"You're still as beautiful as ever!" Gao Yan also took a good look at Zhuo Jiangyue. Compared to two years ago, she had grown even more stunning, definitely a beauty scoring over 95 points.
"Wow, two years without seeing you, and you've become a smooth talker?" Zhuo Jiangyue teased with a smile, but soon her eyes showed a hint of resentment. Being in the same city for two years, this guy hadn't contacted her even once. For someone, she hadn't changed her phone number all this time.
"Jiangyue, who's this handsome guy? Aren't you going to introduce us?" Song Yufei, Zhuo Jiangyue's bestie who had been "abandoned," also walked over. Earlier, she noticed that her usually calm bestie trembled slightly when she called out "Gao Yan." Over the past two years, her bestie had rejected countless suitors, almost a hundred if not more. The guy in front of her was at most mildly handsome and wouldn't even rank in the top ten among Zhuo Jiangyue's admirers. Yet, her bestie was so excited to see him. So, she immediately deduced that there was "something" between them. Her gossiping spirit was fully awakened.
