Chapter 716: Chapter 716: Taking the Elevator with Gu Chengqiao

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Gu Chengqiao was escorted into the shopping mall for a symbolic walk-around.

Qiao Yin followed suit.

In order to look less conspicuous, she strolled around the mall while casually trailing behind Gu Chengqiao.

When Gu Chengqiao’s group paused in front of a certain brand, she stopped at a reasonable distance and began trying on some jewelry under the enthusiastic recommendation of a salesperson.

Sometimes she tried on a bracelet, other times a necklace. She had tried the fourth piece of jewelry when Gu Chengqiao finally moved forward.

Qiao Yin put down the jewelry and discreetly followed suit.

When they had almost completed their inspection of the first floor, an idea struck Qiao Yin, and she immediately got into the elevator.

People were constantly getting in and out of the elevator. Qiao Yin didn’t leave, but moved along with the crowd, biding her time.

Five minutes later, when the elevator doors opened on the first floor, she finally saw Gu Chengqiao’s group again.

She caught sight of Qiao Yin in the elevator and was momentarily surprised.

Qiao Yin, on the other hand, called out to surprise him: “President Gu!”

All eyes from Gu Chengqiao’s group turned to him, a little bit puzzled – how did this girl know President Gu?

“Doctor Qiao, are you getting off?”

“No, no. I’m actually going up. I came from the basement and plan to visit the second floor.”

Even under the scrutiny of everyone, Gu Chengqiao maintains his composure. He steps into the elevator, gives Qiao Yin a gentle smile and asks, “So you’re also here to shop? How do you find it?”

The executives around Gu Chengqiao followed him into the elevator, but they all tacitly left the center position for him and Qiao Yin. They all kept a respectful distance from her.

However, their eyes closely watched Qiao Yin. Not surprisingly, they were somewhat curious about her identity.

Qiao Yin, standing so close to the likely murderer of her mother, had little regard for the others’ glances. She maintained control of her expressions and said nonchalantly, “It’s wonderful. The entire mall is very modern and chic. There is a wide array of major brands, and the quality of the shoppers seems high. Everyone looks happy shopping here. This place will surely become everyone’s first choice for upscale shopping in the future!”

Her praises satisfied the people around Gu Chengqiao and he too grinned in response, “We hope your kind words will come true, that this place will become everyone’s favorite premier shopping venue!”

Qiao Yin smiled, “It certainly will.”

The executives in the elevator had varied expressions.

Although their CEO was indeed a nice boss, he still held a high position and only politeness was expected in his behavior towards others. But wasn’t he excessively courteous to a young lady like Qiao Yin?

Could this “Doctor Qiao” have a significant background?

Before they could delve deeper into their thoughts, the elevator doors opened.

Gu Chengqiao nodded to Qiao Yin and stepped out of the elevator first.

After he had left the elevator, none of the other people moved. They were all waiting for Qiao Yin to make the first move.

Qiao Yin had initially planned to let them exit first, but with everyone watching her, she had no choice but to follow Gu Chengqiao.

Shortly after, Gu Chengqiao started inspecting this floor with his group while Qiao Yin continued browsing, buying necessities from time to time, so as not to arouse Gu Chengqiao’s suspicion.

Once they had inspected this floor, Gu Chengqiao and his group got back into the elevator to survey the floor above.

Qiao Yin didn’t follow them this time.

The same method couldn’t be used twice, as it would seem too clumsy.

Just as she was pondering how to make another casual encounter with Gu Chengqiao, a young man in a black suit approached her.
