Mo Mingda seed to notice Lin Tian’s confusion and chuckled, "Mr. Lin has never been to such a high-end place, has he? This is different from those regular clothing stores where you just pick sothing and buy it."
"Here, there are professional image consultants to design your look, choosing clothing, even hairstyles and accessories according to your image and temperant. You didn’t know that, did you?" Mo Mingda laughed.
"Indeed, I’ve never seen it before." Lin Tian said blandly. His words drew silent laughter from the clan’s younger generation, with a touch of disdain in their smiles.
The female designer, however, maintained her usual smile and replied, "I am the resident image consultant here, my na is Yan Xiaoxia. Do you have any requests regarding your purchases? I will design your look according to your preferences and combine them with your temperant."
"Miss Yan, there’s no rush for that. Today we’ve co to et your chief designer, Sofia. I heard she’s arrived in Jinghua City and is right here in the store," Mo Mingda said.
"Miss Sofia is indeed here, but..." Yan Xiaoxia said hesitantly. Everyone who cos here wants to et the chief designer, but not everyone qualifies to see her. If you could et just like that, the chief designer would be overwheld."
Mo Mingda naturally understood this and confidently smiled, "Miss Yan, just say Yun Family’s Mo Mingda is requesting a eting, please convey that."
"Oh, it’s Young Master Mo from the Yun Family. Please wait a mont, I’ll check if Miss Sofia has any arrangents." Yan Xiaoxia was a bit surprised, clearly not expecting soone from the Yun Family.
Lin Tian could only chuckle to himself. As expected, the higher-end the place, the more face value matters. Even in a foreign-owned store, it’s the sa. If it had been an ordinary person asking, Yan Xiaoxia wouldn’t have even glanced at them.
After Yan Xiaoxia went away, Mo Mingda glanced at Lin Tian, with a clear implication that in this small patch of land that is Jinghua City, his na held so weight.
Lin Tian, however, smirked. If your na didn’t have "Yun Family" in front of it, who would care about soone like Mo Mingda?
A mont later, Yan Xiaoxia returned and said to Mo Mingda, "Mr. Mo, Miss Sofia will see you, but she only wants to et with you alone."
Mo Mingda looked at Lin Tian and pretended to smile regretfully, "Mr. Lin, there’s no way around it. Miss Sofia only wants to see . As for you, you’ll have to figure sothing out on your own."
Finishing his words, his eyes were full of smug satisfaction as he followed Yan Xiaoxia towards the back of the store.
"Mr. Lin, what should we do? Miss Sofia seems to be quite influential, you might not even get to et her, let alone have her design your clothing," An Xiaoru worriedly asked, seeing the situation wasn’t favorable.
"What can we do? Just wait and see. If worse cos to worst, I’ll just stick around and refuse to leave Jinghua City. What can Mo Mingda do to then?" Lin Tian replied carelessly with a smile.
"You mustn’t. People in Mo Mingda’s circles value their reputation greatly. Frankly, it’s about showcasing their noble deanor. When he challenged you to a bet, it was a strategy of courtesy before force. If you lose and don’t fulfill the wager, he’ll have a justified reason to chase you out of Jinghua City, without worrying about others thinking he’s bullying the weak, and without concerns about Young Master Yun holding him accountable," An Xiaoru advised.
"The clan’s younger generation indeed has a way to make kicking soone out a big deal. It’s said that big families see themselves as nobility and have an ingrained sense of superiority. They’re really full of themselves," Lin Tian chuckled lightly.
An Xiaoru couldn’t find words to respond. Although she was just living in a big family and not truly one of them, the young generation of the Yun Family was indeed extrely proud, just as Lin Tian described.
Liu Weiyuan and his group ignored Lin Tian completely, chatting among themselves. To them, the outco of the bet was already decided, as Lin Tian didn’t even have the opportunity to et the chief designer, so how could he talk about designing clothing?
However, to everyone’s surprise, Mo Mingda reappeared only ten minutes after entering, and his expression was a bit odd, leaving them uncertain whether he succeeded or not.
"Mr. Mo, how did it go?" Liu Weiyuan asked softly, while the others perked up their ears.
Before Mo Mingda could answer, Yan Xiaoxia, who ca out with him, said, "Mr. Mo, I apologize. You know Miss Sofia’s rules."
Although she didn’t say it outright, everyone understood the implication: Mo Mingda did not manage to obtain the designs from Miss Sofia.
Liu Weiyuan and his group were left speechless. Miss Sofia was indeed not a Huaxia native, so even putting pressure using the Yun Family didn’t work. Besides, when this chief designer visited Huaxia last year, she had only designed sothing for the Yun Family’s matriarch.
As a chief designer, she truly had the skills.
If foreign businessn couldn’t exert so influence, they wouldn’t be able to keep up such a façade. Moreover, Mo Mingda was rely a cousin in comparison; he didn’t have the guts to make a scene there.
A cousin and Young Master Yun, one is just a relative, the other a direct heir, are worlds apart in status. No wonder Mo Mingda’s influence didn’t work.
If it were Yun Xiaotian coming in, his chances would have been much higher. After all, as the future family head of the Yun Family, the chief designer would undoubtedly give him so consideration.
"Let’s go," Mo Mingda said disgruntledly. He had intended to flaunt his influence in front of everyone, only to find it unappreciated.
The group, feeling embarrassed, stood up to leave, but Lin Tian suddenly said, "Wait, don’t be so hasty. Our agreed-upon challenge hasn’t even started yet."
"You?" Liu Weiyuan sneered, "Didn’t you see? Mr. Mo didn’t succeed, what are you trying to do? Who do you think you are? The Li Family Patriarch?" The group looked at Lin Tian as if they were witnessing a joke.
Lin Tian couldn’t be bothered with them and directly addressed Yan Xiaoxia, "Miss Yan, could you please let them know that Lin Tian has an appointnt?"
Yan Xiaoxia had no idea who Lin Tian was, so how could she possibly waste ti on him. She was about to politely refuse but then noticed Lin Tian pulling sothing out of his pocket.
Though only half of it showed from his pocket, she clearly saw it was a black tallic card, embossed with patterns. The tallic sheen was understated and restrained yet exuded an aura of mystery and elegance.
The group behind Lin Tian, including Mo Mingda, couldn’t see what Lin Tian did and were about to mock him for overestimating himself.
Unexpectedly, Yan Xiaoxia suddenly said, "Mr. Lin, please wait a mont, I’ll be right back," and then hurriedly went to the back of the store, even more urgent than before.
This scene left everyone baffled. What just happened? Yan Xiaoxia’s expression was clearly one of refusal, so how did it take a one-eighty-degree turn? Even An Xiaoru couldn’t understand what it ant. Lin Tian hadn’t said anything special, had he? Could it be that Lin Tian used his charm? An Xiaoru pondered in bewildernt.
