The clothes at this store were quite good, so Gu Wanshi bought another dress, two tops, a pair of jeans, and a skirt, spending three hundred and twenty thousand in total.
She went straight to the fitting room and changed into one of the dresses.
The new sales employee’s face flushed with joy as she nimbly wrapped up the rest of the clothes, then asked, “Madam, we offer home delivery here. If you leave us an address, we’ll deliver it directly to your home.”
“No need, it’s not that much, I’ll just carry it myself,” Gu Wanshi said.
She hadn’t even bought her own place yet.
She certainly couldn’t have it delivered to the Gu family home.
It would probably end up belonging to Gu Wanning in an instant.
Once she’d gathered all the clothes she’d bought, Gu Wanshi turned around and found Duan Huan still standing there, looking at her with an expression he clearly thought was tender and affectionate, but was actually revolting.
Gu Wanshi held back the urge to gag and walked right past him without so much as a glance.
Duan Huan actually followed right behind her, asking as he walked, “Wanshi, where are you headed? Let me take you.”
“Excuse me, sir, do we know each other?” Gu Wanshi said coldly. “If you keep harassing me, I’ll call security.”
“Wanshi, I know you’re just saying that out of anger,” Duan Huan said shamelessly. “You love me, don’t you? Actually, I’ve never forgotten my feelings for you either…”
As he spoke, he even reached out to grab Gu Wanshi’s wrist.
Gu Wanshi dodged as if he were a venomous snake, immediately stepping back two steps to avoid him, and said coldly, “Get lost!”
“Wanshi, don’t be like this.”
Just then, Gu Wanshi spotted two security guards walking over and immediately called out, “Security, this man is harassing me!”
The two security guards ran over the moment they heard her.
Duan Huan’s face turned ugly, he didn’t expect Gu Wanshi to actually call security. What exactly did this woman want?
He’d already lowered himself to coax her, and she still wasn’t satisfied?
“Madam, is this the man harassing you?” one of the security guards asked.
“That’s him,” Gu Wanshi said, her face stern.
“That’s not true,” Duan Huan said with a forced smile. “She’s my girlfriend, we’re just having a little spat.”
The two security guards exchanged glances.
For one thing, if this really was just a couple’s spat, it wouldn’t be good for them to get involved.
For another, people who came to browse the top floor were generally wealthy, judging by this man’s clothing, he was clearly the son of some rich family, not someone worth offending…
“I don’t know him!” Gu Wanshi said flatly.
“Wanshi, don’t do this to me, don’t waste these gentlemen’s time,” Duan Huan said gently.
Just as the two security guards were about to smooth things over, they suddenly both raised their hands to press their earpieces, as if someone were saying something to them through the radio.
The next second, their expressions changed, and they immediately moved, forcefully pinning Duan Huan to the ground!
Duan Huan nearly hit the floor face-first, and in his fury, he abandoned all pretense of being a refined young gentleman and roared, “What are you doing!”
“You harassed this lady in broad daylight. According to mall regulations, we have the right to stop you and remove you from the premises!” one of the security guards said sternly.
Duan Huan was falling apart.
Was this really how you stopped someone?
Although not many people came to browse the luxury floor, they were currently near the railing on the side, and people on other floors could see everything happening here in full view!
Being pinned down by security like this, could he even show his face in public again?
“Let go of me, I wasn’t harassing her!” Duan Huan tried to argue.
“Madam, he did harass you, didn’t he?” the other security guard asked.
Gu Wanshi nodded crisply. “Yes!”
Then, seeing Duan Huan start to struggle, the security guard slammed a fist into his head, making it ring.
“You…”
“You just showed intent to attack, I had to stop you!” the security guard said righteously.
Duan Huan was truly wronged.
He had no idea how he’d offended these two security guards, why were they being so harsh on him?
“Madam, if you’re in a hurry, you can go ahead. We’ll handle this man,” the security guard said to Gu Wanshi.
With that, the two security guards simply dragged Duan Huan away.
Duan Huan struggled to keep his head up so his face wouldn’t scrape against the floor, looking utterly ridiculous, his chin knocking against the ground several times.
Seeing this, Gu Wanshi turned and left as well.
To be honest, she found it a little strange too.
She’d noticed a moment ago that the two security guards had been about to smooth things over.
So what exactly had happened to make them turn on Duan Huan so harshly all of a sudden?
Never mind, either way, it felt pretty satisfying watching the scumbag get taught a lesson.
And this incident had also given her something to think about.
She needed to find herself a bodyguard.
What if something similar happened again in the future?
Right now, her physical strength and combat scores were both still very low.
Until she had the ability to protect herself, hiring a bodyguard was a necessity.
After Gu Wanshi left, a man walked out from a store nearby.
Behind him followed someone who looked like an assistant, along with several of the mall’s senior executives.
The executives were all a little panicked now, cold sweat beading on their foreheads.
This gentleman up ahead hardly ever came to inspect the mall, sometimes not for years at a stretch.
And this time he’d come, only to happen to witness something like this.
What if he thought their management was incompetent?
What’s more, this gentleman had actually just taken out a communicator and personally instructed those two security guards to deal with that man who’d harassed the young lady as harshly as possible without killing him…
It seemed like this wasn’t purely about maintaining order in the mall.
The man glanced once at Gu Wanshi’s retreating figure, then turned and walked off in the opposite direction from her.
“Director Mu,” the assistant hurried to catch up, “what should we do with that harasser just now?”
“Use your judgment,” Mu Zecheng said flatly. “Just don’t let him off easy.”
The assistant agreed, though he felt a bit puzzled inside.
He’d worked alongside Mu Zecheng for several years now, but had never seen him act like this.
The way he’d handled it seemed almost like he was standing up for that harassed girl.
But did Director Mu know that girl? Why hadn’t he heard anything about it at all?
Never mind, either way, that harasser was in for a rough time ahead.
Gu Wanshi went on to buy a pair of shoes and a few accessories, all from luxury stores, spending two hundred and twenty thousand.
The main quest still had nine million four hundred and ten thousand left to spend.
She hailed a taxi straight to a certain sales office.
This sales office was selling units in a new residential complex, complete with every amenity and thorough security. The average price was forty to fifty thousand per square meter, all fully furnished and move-in ready.
The surrounding transportation was quite convenient, with a plaza nearby and all sorts of shops.
Since she was wearing brand-name clothes and carrying quite a few bags from luxury stores, a salesperson came up to greet her the moment she walked in.
“Hello, madam! How may I help you?”
“I’d like to buy a unit,” Gu Wanshi said. “Preferably around two hundred square meters. Any recommendations?”
“Yes, yes!” The salesperson lit up with joy at once, it looked like she might close a deal today!
