Chapter 306: 306 Be careful Chapter 306: 306 Be careful Shortly after, the dishes arrived.

“After we finish eating, let’s go buy some clothes,” Chen Xu said.

Luo Xiyun asked puzzledly, “What clothes?”

“The clothes I wear. You have good taste, help me pick some out,” Chen Xu said as he handed her a piece of meat.

She had always controlled her diet, preferring vegetarian food, worried about gaining weight. Chen Xu was concerned she wasn’t getting enough nutrients. She didn’t look like the type to easily gain weight, a few extra pieces of meat wouldn’t make much difference.

“Why buy clothes?” Luo Xiyun was a bit wary. Chen Xu had never been very concerned about his attire. Although he had bought some designer brands in the past, those instances were rather unsatisfactory. His sudden attention to clothing felt amiss.

“In the future, my business will grow bigger, and I’ll attend more business events. I need to improve my image, can’t have you feeling embarrassed.”

Luo Xiyun said, “I think you’re just trying to impress young girls.”

Chen Xu smiled, “I’m past that age.”

Luo Xiyun expressed her doubt, “I find that hard to believe.”

Despite saying that, after the meal, Luo Xiyun still went with Chen Xu to buy clothes. They were always busy, and their dates were limited to meals and occasionally a movie. They seldom went shopping for clothes.

Luo Xiyun wasn’t very familiar with men’s fashion, but helping Chen Xu was not a problem. Men’s clothing wasn’t as complicated, and could be bought in sets.

They went to a high-end store, and Luo Xiyun picked a few outfits for Chen Xu to try on. She sat outside waiting.

“Be careful,” Luo Xiyun said from across the fitting room door.

Chen Xu asked, “Careful of what?”

“His name is Zhou Hao, his family is close with my dad, and they want to set us up. I’ve met him a few times due to obligations, but that was a long time ago…”

The fitting room door suddenly opened, and Chen Xu emerged in a new suit, saying, “No wonder he looked familiar. He was the one who drove to your company to pick you up. That rumored boyfriend.”

Luo Xiyun continued, “I wasn’t interested in him, and I rejected him outright. Yet, he came back several times, and I had to show that attitude to make him give up.”

That was typical of her, Chen Xu reflected on the first dream, where she had been straightforward about the impossibility between them from their first meeting. Apparently, he wasn’t the first ‘victim.’

Luo Xiyun said with some concern, “He’s a narrow-minded person, he might take revenge against you, you better be careful.”

“He should be the one to be careful,” Chen Xu stood in front of the mirror, looked at his reflection for a while, then turned and asked, “What do you think of this suit?”

Hearing him say that, Luo Xiyun grew more worried. Chen Xu was no ordinary man, indeed, he didn’t have to fear Zhou Hao, “Don’t mess around, his dad is a shareholder of Tianluo Group, powerful and wealthy. If anything happens to him, his dad won’t let it go easily.”

“Relax, I know my limits,” Chen Xu adjusted the sleeve of his suit in the mirror, and said, “I think it looks good, what do you think?”

Luo Xiyun glanced at his outfit and nodded, “It’s alright.”

“Let’s take it.”

…

The entire afternoon, they shopped, buying lots of clothes, not just for Chen Xu, but also for Luo Xiyun.

“Let’s go look at houses tomorrow,” Chen Xu said as he loaded the bags into the car, suddenly adding, “The current apartment is too small, doesn’t even have a walk-in closet.”

Chen Xu had gained some insight from thirty-three years in the dream; in that environment, Luo Xiyun and Bai Jinxuan always wore different outfits, he never saw them wear the same thing twice, sleepwear excluded.

Compared to them, Yang Jinxia wasn’t as particular, often wearing the same piece multiple times, particularly his favorite ones.

Back in reality, appearances likely mattered even more. A walk-in closet was definitely necessary, and it had to be large.

Luo Xiyun asked, “Do you have that much money now?”

“We’ll rent a place first.” With Chen Xu’s current wealth, he indeed couldn’t afford the type of house he wanted. It wasn’t possible to ask Yang Jinxia for the money; his pride wouldn’t allow it.

And as for Luo Xiyun, she didn’t have that much money either. Despite earning a lot, she also spent fiercely.

Moreover, according to Chen Xu’s plans, it would be a few years before he could afford such a house. Any earned money would be prioritized towards his business.

“I have to go to work tomorrow; I’ve taken many days off and surely have a pile of work waiting,” Luo Xiyun said.

“No worries, we can go after you get off work,” Chen Xu said, “For now, let’s have dinner, and then later, you can accompany me to meet someone.”

“Meet who?”

“I need to interview a candidate.”

…

In a private room, Chen Xu met the interviewee, a man in his early thirties wearing glasses, looking rather pale and nervous.

Chen Xu began, “Cai Weiyi, I’ve reviewed your file, your PhD thesis was quite impressive.”

Cai Weiyi seemed embarrassed, “Mr. Chen, you flatter me,” knowing his actual level was just average among his peers, with his thesis being the only commendable part.

“If I may ask, Mr. Chen, from which company are you?”

Chen Xu asked in return, “Didn’t your advisor tell you?”

Cai Weiyi whispered, “No, he just told me about a job opportunity and asked me to come for the interview.”

“I see, I’ve acquired a laboratory and am in need of a director.”

Cai Weiyi thought he had heard wrong, a laboratory director? He had just graduated with a PhD and hadn’t achieved any significant results, a director seemed like a joke.

He swallowed and said, “I’m just a fresh PhD graduate without experience in leading projects independently, I’m afraid I can’t take on such a responsibility.”

Chen Xu’s eyes showed a hint of admiration, “We specifically sought a fresh graduate like you to nurture our own talent. I have already planned the projects and experiments. Your task would be to execute them and write papers. Of course, prepare for stringent conditions, but the salary should be satisfactory.”

Cai Weiyi, feeling tempted, asked, “May I know the research topic?”

Chen Xu replied, “It’s related to your work under your advisor, materials for lithium batteries. I’ll disclose the specifics once you are hired.”

Cai Weiyi, still conflicted, said, “Can I take some time to consider?”

“No problem, you have two days to decide.”
