After such an incident, the crowd was no longer in the mood to shop.
Picking up their items from the ground, they proceeded toward the exit of the store.
"Please wait a moment!" A salesclerk called out to Luo Shu and her party.
"What’s the matter?" They stopped in their tracks, looking in surprise at the clerk who had shouted.
"Our boss is on his way here; he wants to thank you personally," the clerk said. She had just finished calling the police, thought to notify her boss, and had informed him of the incident.
"There’s no need."
After they said this, the group again headed towards the exit. Right now, they were also feeling upset, wondering how a simple shopping trip could encounter such an incident.
As they stepped outside, they saw a young man approaching them head-on.
The man stopped in front of them. "You must be the people who just lend a hand. I’m Qu Fangye, the owner of this jewelry store, and I really appreciate your help." He recognized them from the descriptions the clerk had given.
"Don’t mention it." After saying this, the group was about to leave. If it had not been for the robbers bothering them, they would have, at most, helped call the police. After all, they were out shopping, not catching criminals; they weren’t that noble.
"Please wait a moment! It’s lunchtime now; why don’t I treat you to a meal as a way of expressing my gratitude?" Qu Fangye stopped them. He did not like to owe people favors, and he would be uneasy if he didn’t repay this one today.
"There’s no need; we didn’t specifically aim to help you," said Zhang Qi.
"No matter whether it was intentional or not, you have given me a lot of help. Without you, my loss today would have been significant. I hope you can give me this opportunity to thank you," Qu Fangye sincerely looked at them.
"We have other things to attend to today; maybe some other time," Zhang Qi replied, seeing the firmness in his stance. Anyway, once they left, they would not meet him again.
"Well, okay then!" Qu Fangye could only agree helplessly. He took out a business card from his pocket and handed one to each person, "May I kindly ask each of you to provide a contact number." He understood what Zhang Qi meant, but he was a principled person and did not like owing favors.
Luo Shu glanced at the business card in her hand, took a pen out of her pocket, and under everyone’s surprised gaze, wrote down Starlight Entertainment’s contact information on her own card.
Handing the card back to Qu Fangye, Luo Shu said, "Just call this number when you need to contact us."
"Okay!" Qu Fangye took a look at the card in his hand and nodded with a smile.
After leaving the jewelry store and walking some distance, Zhang Qi looked at Luo Shu and couldn’t help asking, "Luo Shu, why did you give him your phone number just now?"
Everyone also looked at Luo Shu, filled with curiosity.
"He is the deputy general manager of Phaeton Entertainment in Pearl Island City," Luo Shu said with a smile looking at Wang Fei. In the future of the entertainment industry, Qu Fangye holds an unshakable position, a tycoon-level figure. It’s just unclear why he would be running a jewelry store here.
"I understand now!" Wang Fei immediately grasped Luo Shu’s intent. If they could foster a friendly relationship with Phaeton Entertainment, the achievements of Starlight Entertainment might not be lesser.
Luo Shu nodded with a smile. When Starlight Entertainment was initially established, she had said she wouldn’t interfere with its affairs. However, since such a good opportunity had presented itself to boost Starlight Entertainment’s prospects, naturally, she would not miss it.
"So today, we did have some gains, didn’t we?"
"Yes, this is quite an unexpected surprise."
"Shall we continue shopping, or go eat something?"
"Luo Shu, Yujuan, are you tired?" Everyone’s gaze turned collectively to Luo Shu and Meng Yujuan, as the considerations are primarily for the two pregnant women.
"Not tired!" Luo Shu and Meng Yujuan shook their heads simultaneously.
"Then let’s first find a place to eat, and then continue our shopping."
"Okay!"
By the time the sun was about to set, they were carrying big and small bags, and returned to the Lu family house, still not having had enough. They had promised Huizhen earlier that they would stay at the Lu family for dinner today.
"You are back! Are you tired?" Huizhen looked at Luo Shu and asked. Naturally, she was most concerned about Luo Shu, who was not the same as before.
Luo Shu shook her head with a smile, "Mom, come and look, these are the things everyone bought for the babies."
Huizhen smiled and approached, watching as Luo Shu pulled out onesies, bottles, toys from the bag one by one... In fact, she had already started preparing everything as soon as she found out Luo Shu was pregnant—baby cribs, strollers, and clothes, hats, and more. Practically everything that could be prepared had been prepared. However, she knew this was everyone’s good intentions, and Luo Shu could not refuse.
"This onesie is so cute! These little shoes are so exquisite!" Huizhen picked up a pair of shoes from the table, examining them with satisfaction.
It was a pair of Tiger Head Shoes, dominantly red and yellow on the shoe upper. The tiger’s mouth, eyebrows, nose, and eyes were interspersed with red, yellow, and white colors. The snow-white peach blossom nose, the black-hole-like tiger eyes, the rosy lotus face were clearly outlined, dramatically displaying the tiger’s fierceness that was irresistible to onlookers.
Tiger Head Shoes are a traditional folk craft of Yan Country, named for the tiger head shape at the front of the shoe. They are practical, decorative, and also serve as lucky talismans, believed to ward off evil spirits.
Folk customs use the tiger as a companion creature for children, not only for its calming and evil-dispelling effects but also as a blessing for the child to have a strong and prosperous life. No evil dares to disturb babies wearing it—it’s their guardian deity.
It’s believed that the tiger, being the king of all beasts, symbolizes good luck and tremendous fortune; wearing Tiger Head Shoes is thought to make children brighter and more perceptive. The tiger symbolizes prestige, valor, and nobility, protecting the baby’s spirit and ensuring their safety. Thus, Tiger Head Shoes are an essential gift for a child’s full moon celebration.
"This is bought by Liu Mengyao. There was only this pair suitable for an infant at that stall. I’ve already arranged with the grandma selling the shoes to make another pair. She said she would also make Tiger Head Pillows, so I’ve asked her to make two for me," Luo Shu smiled. They had stumbled upon a stall selling Tiger Head Shoes while wandering the streets, which displayed various intricate designs of these shoes.
