21: Chapter 21: New Outfit 21: Chapter 21: New Outfit Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation In the western area of the capital’s North Street, known as a shopping paradise for the younger crowd, Yusuf Zuck parked his car near the Tis Square of North Street, following Ruth Wilcox’s directions.
Then, the two of them walked to North Street.
Perhaps because Ruth Wilcox was in a better mood, she even took on the role of a tour guide as they walked.
“Let’s pick out a set of clothes for you first.
To be honest, your current outfit is really Kashton Pennington,” Ruth said in a low voice.
“Are you buying for , or do I have to spend my own money?” Yusuf imdiately asked.
“What do you think?
Why on earth would I buy clothes for you?” Ruth asked, raising her eyebrows.
“Then forget about it.
Besides, what does it have to do with you whether I dress Kashton Penington or not?
I’ll just dress like this, whoever wants to laugh, let them laugh,” Yusuf said, now walking beside Ruth and entering a shopping plaza.
He thought it looked upscale, which ant the clothes wouldn’t be cheap.
That’s why he decisively declined.
Even though he earned sixty thousand a month, he still didn’t own a car or a house.
He hadn’t even received his first month’s salary yet, so how could he afford to be extravagant?
Visibly annoyed, Ruth said, “Can’t you think about sothing other than money?
I’ve noticed you’re quite stingy for a man.
Didn’t you just get your salary?
Plus the eighteen thousand Mia gave you, are you really too stingy to buy yourself a set of clothes?”
“I could buy them, but why not just go to a night market or wholesale market in the evening?
The clothes here must be expensive.
Why would I wear sothing so pricey?
I’m neither living it up nor wasting away, and I’m no tycoon.
I’m just a small-ti security guard, Ms.
Wilcox.
Please spare , I’m really not that ambitious, and I don’t like showing off.”
“The clothes here are affordable.
What else did you think brought here?” Ruth snapped.
“Two thousand yuan, and you could get a really nice outfit.
If you don’t buy one today, then you don’t need to drive for anymore.
I’ll ask Director He to find soone else!”
“So as the boss, can’t you afford to buy a set for ?” Yusuf cheekily pressed.
“You… you…
If you’re not buying, just forget it!” Ruth trembled with irritation.
Whenever money was ntioned, Yusuf wasn’t even afraid of threats.
It seed like asking him to spend money was like drawing blood, which infuriated her to no end.
“Don’t go, don’t go.
I’ll buy, let’s negotiate so more.” Seeing that Ruth was about to leave, Yusuf started to panic.
If Ruth really replaced him, it would be a huge loss.
He’d have to say goodbye to a monthly salary of sixty thousand.
Ruth turned around: “Negotiate what?
There’s nothing to discuss.
Take back to the company, and you don’t have to be my driver anymore.”
“Listen to my analysis, is it like this?” Yusuf rambled while thinking, “I’m currently your driver and bodyguard.
So, you ought to issue a bodyguard uniform, right?
And bodyguard uniforms usually are black suits, black sunglasses, and the like.
Of course, if your bodyguards don’t get such treatnt, then I’m still your driver, right?
As the employer, you should at least make your driver look formal, which also helps you maintain appearances, doesn’t it?”
“Are you done?” Ruth folded her arms and chuckled coldly, having never seen such a stingy man.
“Let think so more…”
“Give the car keys, and you can think about it here,” Ruth said seriously, determined to make Yusuf pay for his own clothes to cure his stinginess.
“Alright, alright, I’ll buy, I’ll buy,” Yusuf said as he walked around to the front of Ruth and stopped her, with a pained expression on his face.
He still had to treat guests in the evening, with at least two thousand as a basecost.
Spending another two thousand on a set of clothes would an he’d have spent four thousand in one day.
This was like throwing four thousand into the water without making a splash, which was excruciating for him.
“You’ll also need to buy a pair of shoes, pajamas.
You’re staying at my place, so you must wear pajamas at night.
Also, you’re only allowed to stay on the ground floor, you’re not permitted to go upstairs, no smoking, and no wandering around at night.
Plus, you must wash your feet every day…”
“Oh, so many restrictions?” Yusuf said, his head spinning, already finding the prospect of living with a beauty like the boss rather challenging.
After a long spiel, Ruth clicked her way up to the second floor in her high heels, then began critically browsing from one store to another.
“Let’s go into this one first.” She entered a n’s clothing store marked with English letters, and a chanically following Yusuf stepped in as well.
“Could you bring a suit in his size, this blue one here?” she asked, pointing to a sapphire blue suit.
“You have great taste, miss.
This is our store’s flagship brand, a masterpiece by an Italian fashion designer, handcrafted to perfection…
It’s as if this suit was designed especially for your boyfriend.” The saleswoman sure knew how to sweet-talk a custor, picking the most flattering things to say.
However, it seed her eyesight wasn’t all that great, since she mistook Yusuf Zuck for Ruth Wilcox’s boyfriend?
Ruth Wilcox couldn’t be bothered to explain, and Yusuf Zuck felt a bit awkward, but he didn’t bother to correct the saleswoman either.
The clothes on the mannequin were stripped off, and Yusuf Zuck quickly glanced at the price tag inside the clothing!
“Damn it, Ms.
Wilcox, let’s go to another store, another one!” After seeing those four digits, Yusuf’s head swelled with stress—four eights, a whopping eighty-eight hundred eighty-eight.
Was this an attempt on his life?
Even with a discount, he never planned to buy such expensive clothing.
“Can you shut up?
From now on, for every word you say, I’ll dock a day’s pay!” Ruth Wilcox whispered fiercely.
Imdiately, Yusuf deflated and chanically took the sapphire blue suit into the fitting room.
“Motherfucker, eighty-eight hundred eighty-eight,” Yusuf cursed Ruth Wilcox nonstop as he changed his clothes.
He had co to a clear understanding—he was going to be swindled to death by this gorgeous company boss today.
Monts later, Yusuf erged from the fitting room.
And as soon as he ca out, both Ruth Wilcox’s and the saleswoman’s eyes lit up.
Dressed in the sapphire blue suit, Yusuf looked stunningly handso.
His deanor had clearly changed.
Before, he looked absurdly uncouth, but suddenly, he now exuded an air of a wealthy, cool guy!
“Still looks scruffy.
Shoes, find him a pair of shoes, those black ones will do,” Ruth Wilcox pointed at a pair of leather shoes on display.
“Right, right, right, you can’t wear travel shoes with a suit,” the saleswoman smiled.
“How big is your foot, handso?”
“As big as you have for shoes,” Yusuf replied irritably.
“Er…
Handso, you really have a sense of humor.”
Ruth Wilcox glared warningly from the side.
“Size forty-two,” Yusuf gritted his teeth and conceded.
Since he had already purchased the clothes, he might as well not fret over the shoes priced at two thousand five hundred eighty-eight.
A pair of shoes and a suit later, over ten thousand yuan had drained from Yusuf’s wallet, his heart bleeding with each drop.
After trying on the shoes and standing in front of the fitting room mirror again, Yusuf could see his own handsoness, but he just couldn’t feel happy about it.
“Bring him one of those pink shirts, and change the belt too, forget the tie.
Wrap this set up for now, and let’s try that casual jacket next!” Ruth Wilcox directed the saleswoman, completely disregarding Yusuf’s liver-hued complexion.
After half an hour of hustle, two suits, a pair of shoes, a shirt, a belt, and after an eighty percent discount, the total ca to twenty two thousand.
That was precisely the amount of money Yusuf had in his pocket—four thousand plus eighteen thousand equalled twenty two thousand, correct?
Yusuf’s hands trembled.
He had never imagined spending over twenty thousand on clothes, but today he had reached that point, so he steeled himself to fork over the cash.
However, just as he was painfully pulling out the money, Ruth Wilcox nonchalantly told the saleswoman, “You accept card paynts, right?
The PIN is six ones, thank you.” Ruth Wilcox handed over a bank card before Yusuf could do anything!
Yusuf was stunned, staring blankly at Ruth Wilcox, while she didn’t even turn around or give him the slightest acknowledgnt!
