Longtai Plaza.

It was a brand new commercial plaza established by Longtai Group at the heart of Beijiang City.

Claimed to be a twenty-billion Euro investment, it boasted the most comprehensive business model and the highest-end shopping and entertainment complex in the city.

Today was its grand opening.

In the morning, the place had already been bustling, with reporters from all over coming to cover the event.

Many citizens had come early as well.

Because today, Longtai Plaza was hosting a fashion show.

Rumors said that there would be famous models from abroad and top designers from Italy in attendance.

This was a first for Beijiang, a truly unprecedented event.

When Xue An arrived at the entrance of the plaza, a large crowd had already gathered, holding flags as if waiting for someone.

Xue An stepped out of the car with the two little girls, accompanied by An Qing and Tang Xuan’er, and they made their way towards the entrance.

Then, from behind, someone cheered, “Here they come, here they come!”

The crowd surged, nearly pushing Xue Xiang and Xue Xiang to the ground.

Xue An frowned, stretched out his hand to scoop his daughters into his arms, and then like a rock steadfast in the torrent, he pushed aside the oncoming tide of people.

“What’s wrong with you? Master Barber is about to arrive, and you’re blocking the way?” a man with pants so long they dragged on the ground and dyed yellow hair scolded angrily.

Xue An frowned, “Are you talking to me?”

“Of course I’m talking to you! Master Barber is right; you Huaxia people just don’t have any class!” sneered the man, looking down at Xue An’s “rustic” attire.

“You Huaxia people?” Xue An repeated, then smiled faintly, “Then pray tell, who might you be?”

“Me? Of course, I’m not like you. Master Barber said that if my clothing designs win acclaim at the fashion show, he’ll take me to immigrate!” exclaimed the man, his face alight with excitement.

Xue An’s face darkened.

Constant mention of Master Barber and belittling his compatriots.

Such a person seemed to have no need to exist in this world.

At that moment, an Italian with meticulously trimmed stubble and wearing a carefully designed suit walked over.

“Master Barber! You’ve arrived!” The man was extremely excited, speaking fluent Italian.

Master Barber nodded arrogantly, but his gaze fell on An Qing, standing next to Xue An, and a flash of admiration lit up his eyes.

“This beautiful lady, your attire is the most stunning I have seen since I entered Huaxia,” he remarked.

An Qing wore what she considered a very ordinary outfit today, but because all of her clothes were custom-made and brought over from Zhongdu, even a plain piece was of considerable value.

That was why Master Barber was somewhat taken aback.

“Master Barber is right; these Huaxia people usually wear only filthy and shabby clothes. It’s revolting!” the man said obsequiously.

His manner was so off-putting that even An Qing felt repulsed, deliberately asking, “Oh, could you tell me the name of this distinguished designer?”

“My English name is Kaman; as for my Chinese name… it’s better left unsaid!” said Kaman.

In the meantime, Master Barber could no longer contain himself, completely ignoring Xue An, he leaned in close, attempting to bestow a hand-kissing gesture on An Qing.

In the days since he had arrived in Huaxia, this move had nearly always been met with success.

Many Huaxia women were curious about this foreigner, even taking the initiative to start conversations with him.

But none of them were as pretty as the girl before him.

She even had an aristocratic aura about her that could usually only be felt among the nobility of the European Imperial Family.

But he had the wrong idea.

Having seen plenty of these so-called foreign friends in Zhongdu who thought they could pick up girls just because they had a foreign face, An Qing simply stepped back without a change in her expression.

“I’m sorry, but here in Huaxia, we don’t indulge in that sort of thing!”

A look of disappointment flashed across Baber’s face before he retorted, “In our Italy, it is nothing more than common courtesy, this beautiful lady, you might have misunderstood!”

Kaman added, “That’s right, Huaxia people are truly too conservative and feudal…

He didn’t finish his sentence because, at that moment, Xue Xiang, who was being held by Xue An, piped up, “Daddy, that man’s trousers are really strange!”

Xue An nodded, his voice indifferent, “For people who don’t even care about their own face, it doesn’t matter if their pants fall down.”

These words turned Kaman’s face extremely ugly.

Baber frowned as well. He took a look at Xue An and, seeing only a slender Huaxia man, became somewhat disdainful.

“So this is the level of Huaxia people’s cultivation…”

“What level? If you don’t like it, you can go back to your Italy,” said Xue An expressionlessly.

Baber was taken aback; this was the first time since his arrival in Huaxia that anyone had dared to speak to him like this.

“I don’t care who you are, whether Baber or Kaman. If you’re on Huaxia soil, you must follow Huaxia’s rules, or else… get lost! Do you understand the word ‘get lost’?” Xue An spoke in an icy tone.

Baber’s face grew increasingly ugly.

At that moment, a group of people approached, and at the forefront was a woman in her twenties dressed in a professional suit. She arrived in front of Baber, her face full of admiration and respect.

“Master Baber, you’ve finally come! The fashion show is about to start!”

Baber’s face turned ash-blue, “Sorry, I think I need to reconsider our cooperation! ”

The woman was stunned, then hurriedly asked, “Master Baber, what happened? Why the sudden change of heart?”

Baber pointed at Xue An and said coldly, “The people here are too unfriendly and lack manners! I must protest, I must complain!”

The woman glanced at Xue An, then spoke with anger, “Who are you! Do you realize how important this is to Longtai Square? Quickly apologize to Master Baber! ”

“Apologize? Why should I apologize?” Xue An said, a playful look on his face.

The woman angrily said, “Because you have insulted our foreign friend and disrupted our business, apologize now! Otherwise, we’ll have you thrown out immediately!”

Xue An laughed out of extreme anger and suddenly asked, “What’s your name?”

“I am Dai Yue, the manager in charge of market operations dispatched here by Longtai Group!” Dai Yue declared proudly.

She could tell at a glance that Xue An, dressed casually, was not an important figure.

But Master Baber was someone she had personally brought in at great expense. What if something went wrong?

Xue An nodded, “So you are Dai Yue, I thought… your name was Mu Yangquan.”

Dai Yue didn’t understand what he meant at first, but after a moment, when she got it, she couldn’t help but tremble with rage.

At that moment, Baber and Kaman were standing by, arms folded, enjoying the spectacle.

Baber was sure these Huaxia people would inevitably submit, so he was not worried and merely asked Kaman beside him.

“What does this ‘sheepdog’ mean?”

Kaman’s facial expression stiffened, “Uh… it means insulting this woman’s lack of modesty! ”

“Oh!” Baber thought back to last night when Dai Yue had knocked on his hotel room door, and he nodded his head.

Dai Yue bit her lip and said, “Call security, we must give Master Baber a proper explanation for this!”

“No need for that,” Xue An spoke calmly, then pulled out a card from his pocket that he hadn’t used in a long time.

“You are now fired!”
