Chen Kai didn't know it but Xu Yushi did. 

He didn't know how picturesque his actions were. 

A young handsome man standing tall and regal with his hands clasped behind his back as he admired the beauty of the tree before him.

A few young ladies secretly took photos of him and immediately posted them on their WeChat moments. Older patrons pleasantly smiled at his captivation of the tree and for Xu Yushi, she felt proud of the effect the mall had on this new shareholder. 

"Let's proceed. I have an appointment soon and I wanted to buy a few things during this tour. Will that be okay?"
Chen Kai spoke at the turn of his head and Xu Yushi answered quickly.

"It is, Mr. Chen. Before we move on, let's look over the transfer documents. There's a cafe that's exclusive to Nanhe on the second floor."

He nodded his head in agreement and followed her to the nearest elevator. 

The system took away the 'sudden appearance' gimmick and opted for the human contact scenario as a way for him to meet new people. He also preferred this way - fewer questions and misunderstandings.

Traveling to the second floor, he got a first-hand look at the reverse store positioning. The entrance to all of the stores faced the walkway and the back of their stores were made into window displays and their signage. From the ground floor, you can see every store when you look up and the goods they wish to display. 
The mall-exclusive cafe all adopted an open-air balcony design. The customers can view below and above without obstruction. 

Reaching their first stop, Xu Yushi continued her duty as a guide and introduced him to the local stores as they made their way to the cafe. 
Chen Kai being in exploration mode, purchased whatever caught his fancy. Xu Yushi's eye twitched when he bought an Onyx Beaded Bracelet from Luis Morais for $ 6000 yuan.
Upon reaching the cafe, she ordered them both a late breakfast and began the share transfer. 

"I won't be changing anything internally. All I will give as doing my part as a shareholder is to give a few suggestions. This can simply be a promotional idea or an addition of a structure. I won't place my hand in to do the heavy lifting. From what I've seen so far, the team behind the scenes is doing well. I was already impressed from the start."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. Your words and praise do mean a lot to us. I know when everyone hears this, they will work harder to maintain this impression." General Manager Xu meant every word.

He smiled her way and signed the documents then kept his copies for safekeeping. "We would like to offer you Nanhe's Special VIP card. You will enjoy free meals from our cafes, discounts from all stores, and private parking at any branch." She slid a gold card toward him with the number four in a bold white font. It didn't take away the prestige of the card.

He nodded in approval and tucked away the card.

"I'll take my leave now. It was a pleasure to meet you, General Manager Xu." Chen Kai got to his feet and smiled her way. Xu Yushi quickly rose and gave him a respectful bow while bidding him farewell. When he left her entirely, she returned to her normal state and shuddered. It was frightening how someone's presence can change the atmosphere of an area. She can hear the cafe going back to its laid-back working style compared to the polished service when Chen Kai was present.

What a frightening young man!

"A few goodies then home."

Chen Kai made his way to the fifth floor. There was no local brand on this floor. Names he spotted online had either their flagship store here or one of many branches.
