After finishing her hot pot, Yun Zijin headed straight for the luxury goods floor.
Forgive her, but she'd never been rich a day in her life. The only places she could think of to spend money quickly were on cars, houses, or luxury goods.
It was already so late, and Dijing's various Auto Museum Cities were all quite remote, so buying a car was out of the question. As for buying a house, she already owned Villa No. 1 at Xingyu Mansion and wasn't looking to buy another one for now.
In the end, Jinsheng Mall was the most suitable option.
Yesterday, Yun Zijin had bought jewelry and bags from Tiffany and Hermes, so today she decided to start with a third store.
The third store was Cartier.
Yun Zijin had heard a little about the brand from many of her colleagues.
The sales associates at Cartier had already heard about Yun Zijin's spending spree at the other stores yesterday in their group chat.
They had initially felt it was a shame. This low-key wealthy woman had almost come into their store to shop, only to be intercepted by the watch shop across the way.
But who would have thought she'd be back again today.
She was as low-key as ever, wearing only a 3,000-yuan Hermes Bleu Céleste Uni Bangle.
Rumor had it that yesterday, in less than ten minutes, she'd bought two watches totaling nearly a million yuan.
"Hello, ma'am. I'm Little Qing from the Cartier counter. Welcome."
Yun Zijin nodded but didn't ask for an introduction, opting to browse on her own.
"This bag looks pretty good. Let me see it."
Yun Zijin pointed to a Panthère de Cartier mini chain bag in calfskin with golden and palladium-finish hardware, displayed in a corner showcase.
She preferred simple and elegant designs without large logos, and this one looked just right.
'Little Qing was a little disappointed inside. This bag cost less than ten thousand yuan. However, after hearing about yesterday's events, she knew Yun Zijin was wealthy, so she smoothly took the display item out of the showcase for Yun Zijin to try on.'
"You have excellent taste. This is a mini bag made of grained calfskin, and the chain is detachable.
The design is inspired by the panther, creating a soft and timeless leather piece. It's a classic, exquisite, and versatile bag suitable for any occasion.
It looks beautiful on you. It suits you very well."
"Wrap it up. And this bracelet, get me one of those too."
Besides the bag, Yun Zijin also had her eye on a LOVE series rose gold diamond-paved bracelet, priced at ¥445,000.00. Added to the bag's price of ¥9,350.00, the total came to ¥454,350.00.
Little Qing's face instantly lit up with a smile. 'The rumors about the low-key wealthy woman were true after all. She would buy a bracelet worth hundreds of thousands, but also a bag for less than ten thousand, all based purely on her own preference.'
'Yun Zijin had no idea what these sales associates were saying about her. The only reason she was buying these relatively inexpensive items was that she wanted to gradually upgrade her entire wardrobe.'
'Start with items worth a few thousand, then move on to tens of thousands, and finally hundreds of thousands. By changing things bit by bit, no one would find it strange. They would just assume her spending habits had always been like this.'
After she was done at Cartier, Yun Zijin went to Chanel.
Yun Zijin wasn't particularly fond of Chanel's recent ready-to-wear collections, but she did spot a Mini Flap Bag with a gold-toned metal ball.
She was in luck. It was the last one in the store, and she snapped it up.
Finally, Yun Zijin bought a Chanel Chance fragrance set, bringing her total spending at the Chanel store to ¥51,960.00.
However, Yun Zijin wasn't very satisfied with this spending pace.
Remembering how she had spent a million on two watches yesterday, Yun Zijin turned her attention to the luxury watch shops again.
A wealthy woman's principle is to spread the wealth. So, Yun Zijin finally walked into Vacheron Constantin.
Word of Yun Zijin's shopping exploits had already spread throughout the luxury floor of Jinsheng Mall. The moment the Vacheron Constantin staff saw her enter, all who weren't busy with other customers swarmed over.
However, Yun Zijin didn't like having too many people following her around, so she let them decide amongst themselves who would assist her.
While they were deciding, Yun Zijin started browsing the store on her own.
But she stopped when she saw a watch that looked like a piece of fine jewelry.
The sales associates quickly decided on who would serve her, and seeing Yun Zijin stop, the chosen one hurried over.
"Hello, ma'am. This is our brand's Égérie Moon Phase Jewellery watch, model 8016F. It's fully paved with 1,377 brilliant-cut diamonds. The watch features a poetic and precise moon phase display, with a concentric and off-center circle design inherited from Vacheron Constantin's historical models…"
'Yun Zijin didn't really want to listen to all this. All that mattered was whether she thought it was beautiful.'
Nevertheless, she waited until the sales associate finished before nodding. "Wrap it up."
"Of course!"
'This Miss Yun was truly the most decisive customer she had ever served.'
She had already bought two watches yesterday and another one today, so Yun Zijin didn't want to buy any more.
After paying, she left Vacheron Constantin.
Then she remembered that her skincare products were running low, so Yun Zijin started looking for skincare in the mall.
Yun Zijin bought skincare sets from several well-known major brands, along with several boxes of face masks. She figured she would use them for now, do a little comparison, and then she'd know which brand to buy next time.
But she was still over a million yuan short of her spending goal, so Yun Zijin stepped into Hermes for the second time.
The sales associate who greeted her was the same one from last time, a woman named Xu Qin.
"Miss Yun, welcome back."
"Mhm. My target this time is a Kelly in Gris Éléphant. You know the one, right?"
"I do. I'll have someone check if we have it in stock. You can browse our other items in the meantime."
Yun Zijin, of course, knew what she meant and began sweeping through the store.
A Passifolia No. 1 dinner plate? Buy!
A set of three "Hermès Equestrian Show Jumping" mugs? Buy!
An Un Jardin sur le Nil fragrance set? Buy!
...
Basically, as long as something looked decent, Yun Zijin had Xu Qin wrap it up. After all, they offered home delivery.
"Just as low clouds bring the rain, my heart was moved when you sang softly…"
Just as Yun Zijin finished her shopping spree, her phone rang.
She glanced down and saw it was an unknown number. Yun Zijin instinctively rejected the call.
'There are so many phone scams these days. It's better not to answer calls from unknown numbers.'
"Miss Yun, the warehouse manager just contacted me. We happen to have one Kelly in Gris Éléphant. Shall I wrap it up for you?"
Yun Zijin nodded, and the card payment went through quickly.
[Spending Mission: Spend ¥4,000,000.00 before midnight. Completed!]
[Mission Reward: 3x Rebate triggered. ¥12,000,000.00 has been deposited into the Host's savings card. Ownership of Dingsi Building, related documents have been placed in the System Backpack. Please check.]
???
'Dingsi Building? Is it the building I'm thinking of?'
Yun Zijin couldn't wait to see the documents. She quickly hailed a taxi and asked the driver to take her to Xingyu Mansion.
"Just as low clouds bring the rain, my heart was moved when you sang softly…"
Yun Zijin had just gotten into the car when someone called her again.
Seeing it was the same number she had just hung up on, Yun Zijin hesitated for a moment before answering.
"Hello!"
"It's me, Xia Zhiyun."
Hearing it was Xia Zhiyun, Yun Zijin frowned instinctively. "What do you want?"
"Jiao Jiao is awake. She found out somehow that she isn't the Xia Family's daughter, and she's been distraught. Are you free right now? Come to Kangde Hospital."
Although Xia Zhiyun asked if she was free, Yun Zijin could hear the command in his tone.
Yun Zijin frowned, her impression of Xia Zhiyun worsening considerably.
