Chapter 1888 Getting the IFC Contract -Part 2
"Are you in or not?" Kong Rong asked once more and Jin gave the quickest reply, 'Why not now?'
"Well, I am still having dinner with him and he was busy talking on the phone so I thought I just gave you a heads up."
"He's in Shenzhen?" The coincidence of Kong Rong doing this was a little too much for Jin to handle.
"What? No. Definitely not. I purposely used the System to portal me to Shanghai for this matter." Kong Rong was totally lying as Jin knew that he was probably doing it to save time to settle a few of his internal security agency's issue.
"Right… well, I can meet him if you are able to drag the dinner a little," Jin asked as the System was already taking all the formal clothes that he had in his wardrobe and they were terribly cheap looking.
"I can do that. Don't take too long. We are at the Kerry Hotel in Pudong. You should able to find us in their steakhouse." Kong Rong said and Jin thanked him before ending the call.
"System believed that User does not have a proper set of formal clothes that is suitable for meeting clients. System recommends that you go to Employee Bai Xin, the store owner of our own armoury store to get your suit made in order to make yourself presentable."
"Or I can just wear a set of formal shirt and pants argh I do not have good enough shoes…" Jin said as he saw the wardrobe that he had and it was terrible.
"Like the System said, go to Employee Bai Xin and-"
"It's okay, instead of wearing formal, I am just going with smart casual. Black Polo-t and brown pants. After all, it's an impromptu meeting!" Jin said as he quickly changed out his shirt and jeans.
"The System feels that it is inappropriate to meet a person that you wish to make an impression to be dressed like this. Do you need me to get Yun out here to scold you instead?"
"Gek, you are playing the Mom's card. This is so unfair. Kong Rong said not to take too much time though."
"Then this will be a quick one." Yun suddenly appeared and it scared Jin for a moment.
"Hi…erm Mom? It is been a long time." Jin said as Yun pulled his hand into a portal and into Bai Xin's Armoury Store instance. Interiorly, it did not change much and there were still a bunch of people looking at the armour.
"Bai Xin, we will be using the luxury room for a while, mind following us?" Yun asked and Bai Xin nodded her head as she knew not to mess with Yun in her days manning the store.
"Red Pandas, help me look after the store when I am away. If anything, you can give me a call." Bai Xin said and those Red Pandas nodded their head. Only when Bai Xin entered the luxury waiting room, did she see Jin being dragged by Yun.
"Oh. It's you, Boss."
"Why the change of tone when you see Yun and then you see me."
"Not sure, Yun feels more like the Boss around here when you are not around." Bai Xin shrugged.
"I thought it would be the other way around, more friendly to Yun and more afraid of me," Jin commented and Bai Xin chuckled while shaking her head. "Boss, you do not know how Yun can be when you left."
"Stop yapping and get his measurements, Bai Xin. We need a tailored suit in fifteen, no in ten. I had already cast the Time Dilation Spell in here. It's okay to use leftover premium cloth since he is not paying a single cent for it." Yun said and Bai Xin acknowledged instantly, taking out her measuring tape and a few pins started floating beside her via chi manipulation.
"I also thought it was Qiu Yue that handled most of the things?" Jin asked and Bai Xin already a professional in Jin's store was able to take measurements and chat with the customer.
"She did. But she handled the overall operations, Yun's the one that handled problems on the ground as she had always done back when the store was slightly smaller. Oh, yes please hold this set of cloth and imbue your chi in it," Bai Xin said as she already started placing pins on Jin, asking him not to move.
"Eh… Yun, you managed to solve everything by yourself?"
"What do you think? Obviously, I have the System around to aid me as well. And I do have a decent enough cultivation in case people got a little more than rowdy." Yun replied as she was on her phone, typing furiously on certain things. "Anyways, I did not get to say this to you but welcome back and also thanks, for some reason, my cultivation had been fully unlocked when you returned from the Synthesis World."
"At times, I still think that you are some sort of NPC instead of a real person," Jin remarked it out loud.
"You should. I am made from broken stuff and not the real Yun or mother as you had known. And as much as I should not roleplay as your Mom now that you know the truth, there are still things I would like you to know that the System had programmed me to care for you or discipline you whenever needed."
"In short, you are the System's moral enforcer when it comes to me…"
"Heh, what a way to put it." Yun smiled as she saw Bai Xin had all the measurements done. She could have used an electronic method to scan Jin but Bai Xin was insistent that the manual old school fashion has its perks.
"Give me five minutes, I will get it done soon." Bai Xin said as she took the cloth away from Jin and went into the workshop to get the suit out. In the meantime, Jin texted Kong Rong he would be there in five and sat beside Yun quietly, hoping she would say something else to break the ice further.
