Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO

If there was any good news lately, it might be that the continuous, uninterrupted cultivation had once again led to a breakthrough in Li Xiaoyao's cultivation level.

The eighth layer of the Condensation Realm.

Before he knew it, Li Xiaoyao's cultivation level had become so strong that even he was somewhat bewildered.

About an hour after finishing the call with Lan Cai, a man knocked on the door and entered.

The man delivered the information and then left, not wasting time with any superfluous chatter.

Li Xiaoyao leaned against the sofa, flipping through the materials in his hands.

The Lan Family's information was quite comprehensive; after all, for such a vast family, gaining this surface-level information was not difficult if one paid attention.

After resting for a while in the hotel, Li Xiaoyao got up, preparing to visit the Lan Family.

Li Xiaoyao's approach was straightforward: to knock on the door, find the person directly, and then take Lan Cai away.

Simple and crude, yet also direct and effective.

"Dingdong!"

Someone pressed the doorbell.

With a flicker of thought to discern the face of the person outside, Li Xiaoyao was instantly surprised.

Li Xiaoyao opened the door and saw Xiao Ya in a dark long dress, surprised, he asked, "How did you get here?"

Xiao Ya stood on tiptoe, a playful tone in her voice, "I guess you're probably here for Lan Cai, right?"

"Hmm." Li Xiaoyao didn't deny it.

Xiao Ya stood with her hands behind her back, peering around the room, and said, "Aren't you going to invite me in to sit?"

"Come in." Li Xiaoyao stepped aside, letting her inside.

Li Xiaoyao handed her a can of soda water, and before he could ask, Xiao Ya already said, "You men are too blunt in chasing women; I'm here to help you."

"Help me?" Li Xiaoyao was puzzled.

"Yes," Xiao Ya replied, "The Lan Family is hosting a charity dinner at the hotel tonight, and Lan Cai will be there too."

"A charity dinner?" This was an excellent opportunity, and from Xiao Ya's tone, it seemed she had her finger on the pulse of such events.

Sure enough, having someone like her around could solve many unnecessary troubles.

"Yes, and I came specifically to be your female companion," Xiao Ya winked at him, a cunning smile on her lips.

"And a dance partner?"

"The Lan Family's charity gala isn't just open to anyone; I wasn't planning on attending, but since Mr. Li wants to go, I'll accompany you," Xiao Ya said with a smile.

This indeed was a good opportunity. Li Xiaoyao smiled and asked, "When does the gala start?"

"Half past seven in the evening, at the Metropolitan Hotel."

Li Xiaoyao glanced at the clock, "It's five o'clock now; we should head over."

Xiao Ya looked at Li Xiaoyao's jeans and t-shirt, commenting, "Are you planning to go dressed like this?"

Li Xiaoyao glanced down at himself and retorted, "Is there a problem?"

Xiao Ya couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Of course, there's a problem, a big one at that."

"A charity dinner requires formal attire; showing up like this would be embarrassing," Xiao Ya finished off the last half-can of soda, stood up, and said, "Let's go; I'll accompany you to buy some formal wear first."

Li Xiaoyao frowned slightly; he didn't care much about so-called appearances, and acting according to his own nature was his true attitude. As for how others viewed him, that wouldn't affect his objectives in the slightest.

But Xiao Ya's kindness was not something Li Xiaoyao could refuse, so he went along with her.

Having exited the hotel, the Xiao Family's driver, who had been waiting, saw the young miss accompanied by a young man and curiously studied Li Xiaoyao's face, muttering to himself: "So this is the type of man the young miss likes."

The car stopped on an unremarkable street, and Li Xiaoyao looked left and right but saw no trace of a shopping area.

"Mr. Li, we've arrived. Let's get out of the car," Xiao Ya said with a sweet smile, pushing the car door open and taking a breath of the somewhat dry air.

"The weather in Jindu is always so dry; I wonder when it will get better."

Listening to Xiao Ya's somewhat melancholic mood, Li Xiaoyao, quite oblivious to the atmosphere, asked, "Where's the mall?"

So, Xiao Ya sighed inwardly, silently questioning how Li Xiaoyao could be so wooden sometimes.

Pointing at a small shop with old British-style window displays on the street, she said, "There."

Li Xiaoyao was somewhat taken aback; he thought that even if Xiao Ya was in a hurry, she would at least take him to a high-end mall like Wangfujing.

What was the deal with this shop that barely even had a sign?

Xiao Ya seemed to notice the doubt in Li Xiaoyao's eyes and said with a slight smile, "Don't judge this shop by its ordinary appearance. In fact, it's a tailor's shop with a two-hundred-year history."

As they walked, Xiao Ya explained, "This shop only does custom tailoring, and all clothes are hand-sewn. Most people only know about the suits from Dai Country, but they don't know about Jindu's Gingili. If suits from Dai Country are the go-to choice for men in high society, then Gingili is the Mercedes of the suit world."

"I'm not very knowledgeable about fashion, but I trust your judgment," he said.

Xiao Ya looked back at him, her eyes curving into a beautiful crescent shape.

Entering the Gingili suit shop, Xiao Ya spoke as if she was familiar with the place, "Take this gentleman's measurements."

A man in his thirties with messy hair came over, smiled at Xiao Ya, and pulled out a tape measure from his pocket, saying, "It's been a while since you've been here. What have you been busy with?"

The man had already reached Li Xiaoyao and started measuring him with the tape, first his limbs, then his waist and back.

In less than fifteen seconds, he had committed all the measurements to memory.

Xiao Ya, sidestepping the question, asked, "Do you have any ready-made suits that would fit his size?"

"Need it urgently?"

"Yes, there's a banquet tonight."

The man put away the tape measure and walked over to the clothes rack, rummaged around for a bit, and pulled out a suit.

"The size of this suit is just right. You'll have to add fifty thousand," he said as casually as if he were talking about fifty or five hundred yuan.

Li Xiaoyao was somewhat surprised; he really knew nothing about fabrics and couldn't tell the difference between this suit and those he'd seen in stores for a few hundred yuan a piece.

Xiao Ya nodded and handed over her bank card, saying, "No problem."

After the payment was processed, Xiao Ya handed the suit to Li Xiaoyao with a sense of anticipation, "Go try it on and see if it fits."

Li Xiaoyao picked up the suit, feeling the smooth texture between his fingers, a testament to the quality of the fabric used.

Having changed, Li Xiaoyao stepped out of the dressing room. Xiao Ya, who was sitting and resting, tilted her beautiful eyes upward. Her enticing red lips parted slightly, her bright eyes twinkling. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire

To attract a woman like Xiao Ya, a man had to offer more than just looks.

Handsome faces were a dime a dozen in the entertainment industry, but that wasn't Xiao Ya's type.

However, the commanding presence Li Xiaoyao exuded after putting on the suit still managed to impress her greatly.

"What's the matter?" Li Xiaoyao asked, seeing Xiao Ya speechless for a moment.

Xiao Ya exaggeratedly wiped the corner of her mouth and said brightly, "I wouldn't have guessed, but you really look handsome in a suit."

Li Xiaoyao smiled and said, "If there's no problem, let's go."
