Wang Tianxue stepped forward, took the woman’s hand, and handed over the prepared foods brought from her hometown as well as the health products bought on the way.
"Aunt, look at you, asking so many questions all at once, I don’t even know which to answer first. This is my friend, the one I mentioned over the phone, here to stock up."
Wang Tianxue introduced Lin Chuxia and a few others to her aunt, and then introduced her aunt to them.
Aunt, upon seeing Wang Tianxue’s friends, chuckled and said, "Everyone here calls me Sister Fang or Aunt Fang."
Following Wang Tianxue’s seniority, Lin Chuxia and the others addressed her respectfully as Aunt Fang.
Aunt Fang’s gaze lingered particularly on Lin Chuxia, "So this is your business partner? Finally saw sense, did you?"
The latter part was directed towards Wang Tianxue.
Wang Tianxue smiled, "It’s a long story, Aunt. It’s their first visit, let them take a look around first."
"Sure, feel free to look around. The market is quite big. If you see anything you like, tell me later. I’ll treat you to lunch, and after lunch, we can take our time choosing."
"Thank you, Aunt Fang. We’ll go take a look around first."
Lin Chuxia knew that Wang Tianxue and Aunt Fang had more to talk about, and they themselves wanted to explore the market first.
After everyone left, Wang Tianxue followed Aunt Fang into the back lounge and then spoke, "Aunt, Yang Rui and I are divorced..."
Meanwhile, Lin Chuxia and her group had already walked further inside.
In her past life, Lin Chuxia had come to Rong City for business negotiations, and the situation then was very different from stocking up now.
Thus, it was her first time visiting Rong City market in both her past and present lives.
As she walked further inside, she realized that not only was the market large, but the variety of goods was also impressive.
There were clothes of varying grades, including high-end fabrics, mid-range apparel, mainland styles, and Hong Kong trends—the market had it all.
"Nana, take a look and see what you like, I’ll buy it for you later."
Lin Chuxia turned to Liu Na and said.
Liu Na hurriedly waved her hands, "Boss, I don’t want it, I have clothes to wear."
She felt fortunate enough to have come along for the ride; she couldn’t possibly ask her boss to buy her clothes as well.
Lin Chuxia smiled, "Don’t worry, just pick anything you like. I’d like to know what kind of taste our girls back home have."
Hearing this, Liu Na understood, "Then, I’ll pick what I like."
"Sure, go ahead."
Lin Chuxia had an excellent taste, but it might not necessarily suit the current market.
Liu Na and Gao Lele often shopped for clothes; both young ladies dressed nicely and likely had good taste, probably more aligned with the current aesthetic preferences.
Houzi, hearing this, also got interested, "I’ll pick a few pieces too."
Jia Liang’s eyes twinkled, wanting to join them.
Lin Chuxia stopped them, "Just have a look; our wholesale prices later will be much cheaper than the retail prices, no need to waste that extra money."
Mainly because men’s fashion had limited styles, there really was no need to be overly fussy.
The group spent half the day in the market; their feet ached from walking yet they hadn’t seen the entire market.
Seeing that it was time for the appointment, they headed back to Aunt Fang’s place.
Wang Tianxue and Aunt Fang were still chatting, always smiling; it was unclear what they were discussing.
Seeing Lin Chuxia and the others return, Aunt Fang asked, "How was your walk? Have you found any targets?"
"It was alright," Lin Chuxia replied, "There are just so many styles of clothing here. We felt enlightened just walking around; as for a specific target, we’re still not sure. We’re waiting to hear what Sister Tianxue and Aunt Fang suggest."
