After the divorce, the aloof CEO begged me not to withdraw my investment.

Feeling exhausted, Ye Feng went to his room to rest and soon fell into a deep sleep.

He was woken up by his cell phone ringing in the late afternoon.

"Hey?"

"Ye Feng, it's me." Liu Qingyi's voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding somewhat languid.

"Just woke up?" Ye Feng rubbed his temples and asked.

"Yes, how about you?"

"Me too."

After a moment of silence, Ye Feng spoke up: "Shall we have dinner together? And then go shopping?"

"No, I don't think so," Liu Qingyi said hesitantly. "I'm a little tired."

"Just have something simple to eat, it won't keep you from resting," Ye Feng insisted. "I know a roadside shop that makes really good soup."

"Is it really just a meal?" Liu Qingyi's tone was somewhat tentative.

“Of course,” Ye Feng smiled, “I promise I won’t do anything else.”

……

After the meal, the two went to the city's largest department store.

Ye Feng and Liu Qingyi walked side by side.

"How about these coffee-colored snow boots?" Liu Qingyi asked, pointing to a pair of simple-style boots.

“Yes, it suits you very well.” Ye Feng answered without hesitation, “Want to give it a try?”

After trying them on, Liu Qingyi turned around in front of the mirror and nodded in satisfaction: "These are the ones."

Ye Feng readily swiped his card to pay.

Afterwards, they went to the down jacket counter.

Due to the large number of customers, there was a clear shortage of service staff, with a slightly overweight female sales clerk serving several customers at the same time.

"Take a look at this one, it's the latest model, very warm and stylish."

The slightly overweight saleswoman enthusiastically recommended a bright red down jacket to Liu Qingyi.

Liu Qingyi shook her head: "I don't like this color, and it doesn't suit my style."

The slightly chubby saleswoman's smile froze a little as she recommended a few more items, all of which Liu Qingyi rejected.

"Never mind, I'll take another look." Liu Qingyi turned around and prepared to go check out other areas.

"What a waste of time. If you can't afford it, don't even look at it," the slightly overweight saleswoman muttered, her tone full of disdain.

Liu Qingyi heard it, but she didn't want to waste time, so she remained silent.

Finally, Liu Qingyi found a light gray down jacket that she liked and was about to try it on when the saleswoman snatched it away and handed it to another customer.

“Madam, I was the one who saw it first,” Liu Qingyi said calmly.

"Excuse me, this lady asked me first." The slightly overweight saleswoman was arrogant and had a defiant look in her eyes.

Ye Feng's face instantly darkened: "Is this how you treat your customers?"

“Sir, we also came in order…”

The slightly overweight saleswoman tried to argue, but Ye Feng interrupted her.

"Order? I think you're just playing favorites!"

Ye Feng raised his voice a few decibels, attracting the attention of the surrounding customers.

Seeing this, another salesperson quickly came over to mediate: "Sir, don't be angry, we can talk things over..."

"Communication? It's unnecessary." Ye Feng glanced coldly at the slightly overweight salesperson. "I just want you to understand that respecting every customer is the most basic professional ethic."

As he spoke, he turned around, took Liu Qingyi's hand, and walked towards another sales clerk with a good service attitude.

"Could you please get her a size L of that black one to try on?"

It was a high-end down jacket priced at nearly 30,000 yuan, with an elegant design and top-notch quality.

After putting it on, Liu Qingyi looked in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.

Ye Feng took out his card, ready to swipe it.

But when I tried to swipe my card, something went wrong.

"Transaction anomaly?"

The plump saleswoman clicked her tongue and looked at her colleague beside her: "I think you've wasted your time. You're just two penniless people."

Ye Feng ignored her sarcasm and simply said to the cashier, "Try again."

The cashier swiped the card again, but the transaction was still flagged as abnormal.

The plus-size saleswoman was now completely uninhibited, her tone sharp: "Sir, if you can't afford it, don't waste everyone's time here. The clothes in our store aren't for everyone."

The surrounding customers cast curious glances and whispered among themselves.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Liu Qingyi's face. Just as she was about to pay herself, Ye Feng patted her hand to comfort her.

He turned to the plump saleswoman and said calmly, "Shut your stinking mouth, or you'll lose your job."

The plump saleswoman was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter as if she had heard a joke: "You? Make me lose my job? I've worked here for so many years, and I've never seen anyone as pretentious as you!"

"Okay, I'll remember you."

Ye Feng switched to another card, said nothing more, quickly entered the PIN, and swiped the card again.

With a "beep", the POS machine printed out a receipt.

The plus-size saleswoman's smile froze instantly.

The surrounding customers also gasped in surprise.

If I'm not mistaken, this card is a gold card!

The cashier respectfully handed Ye Feng the receipt and bank card: "Sir, here is your card and receipt. Congratulations on becoming our valued VIP customer. This is our customer service complaint hotline. If you have any complaints, please feel free to call us anytime."

Ye Feng took the card and receipt, then picked up the customer service complaint hotline on the table and dialed it in front of the chubby saleswoman.

"Hello, I want to complain about a salesperson with terrible service..."

Ye Feng briefly described what had just happened.

The overweight saleswoman turned pale and wanted to beg for mercy, but when she thought about what she had just said, she couldn't utter the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Feng handed the down jacket to Liu Qingyi, asking gently, "Do you like it?"

A hint of emotion flashed in Liu Qingyi's eyes. She took the clothes and nodded gently: "I like it."

Although she usually wears high-end custom-made clothes worth millions.

But this outfit has a different meaning.

He picked it out himself.

Ye Feng took Liu Qingyi's hand and said softly, "Let's go eat."

The two left the clothing store hand in hand, leaving behind a slightly overweight saleswoman who looked completely bewildered.

When Ye Feng returned to the company, the stock market had opened, and Liu Zhengli immediately came over.

"It's 16 yuan now."

Ye Feng took a sip of coffee, remaining calm: "Give the order: 16.5, throw away one-third."

"Understood!" Liu Zhengli immediately took out his phone and walked to the side to start making arrangements.

The only sounds in the room were the tapping of keyboards and the hushed whispers of phone calls.

"Brother Feng, everything is arranged. The brothers are all waiting for your orders."

Liu Zhengli hung up the phone and returned to Ye Feng's side.

Ye Feng nodded without saying anything, but his eyes were fixed even more intently on the screen.

Shengshi Entertainment's stock price slowly crawled down in the trap he had set.

Time passed slowly, and the stock price climbed steadily.

16.1, 16.2, 16.3...

The atmosphere in the office gradually became tense as the stock price fluctuated.
