"Pay? What are you paying for?"
Hearing what Yun Zijin said, Ren Hui followed her instinctively. She simply didn’t believe Yun Zijin could afford anything in the Hermes store. freeweɓnøvel.com
Yun Zijin ignored Ren Hui, however. She walked up to the checkout counter with the sales associate, took the Black Gold Card from her purse, and handed it to the cashier.
The moment she paid, Yun Zijin received a notification that her spending task for the day was complete.
[Spending Task: Spend ¥3,000,000.00 before midnight tonight. Requirement: Shopping only. Status: Complete.]
[Task Reward: 4x rebate triggered. ¥12,000,000.00 has been deposited into the Host’s savings card. The Host has been rewarded with the complete property rights to the University City Food Street. Please check for confirmation.]
’A food street?’
’Isn’t that the food street near our school? It’s right next to the street where Sheng Yang and I went to that bar.’
’Did it give me properties near the school because I’m a student now?’
’Should I praise Randomly Spend for being so thoughtful?’
However, since they were still out, it wasn’t a good time for Yun Zijin to take out the documents and look them over.
"Miss Yun, here are your card and receipt. Please keep them safe."
The cashier returned Yun Zijin’s Black Gold Card and receipt to her with both hands.
As for the bag Yun Zijin had just purchased, Zero One was in charge of carrying it.
Now that her shopping was done and the day’s spending task was complete, Yun Zijin prepared to leave with Qin Sitong.
’We came all this way, we can’t spend the whole time in just one store.’ freēwēbηovel.c૦m
"Wait!"
Seeing Yun Zijin and Qin Sitong about to leave, Ren Hui hurried in front of them and spread her arms to block their path.
"What do you want now?"
Qin Sitong shielded Yun Zijin behind her, her tone sharp.
"The sales associate just said that the person who came with you is one of their VIC clients..."
As she spoke, Ren Hui’s gaze shifted to Zero One behind Yun Zijin. "As classmates and roommates, aren’t you going to introduce us?"
’Looks like she thinks Zero One is the VIC client the sales associate mentioned?’
Yun Zijin couldn’t fathom Ren Hui’s logic. If Zero One were the VIC client who had brought them here, he would be walking ahead of everyone, not trailing silently behind Yun Zijin and moonlighting as a bag carrier.
’Even though he’s only carrying that one bag since we’re having the rest sent directly to Xingyu Mansion, he’s still carrying a bag, isn’t he?’
"You want to meet the VIC client?"
Qin Sitong gave Ren Hui a smirk.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I just think, since we’re all in the same dorm, if we meet new friends, we should introduce each other.
In the future, if I have any new friends, I’ll introduce them to you too."
’Besides, whether I actually introduce them to any new friends later is my decision.’
’All I have to do is trick these two idiots into introducing that VIC client to me.’
’I’m confident that once he gets to know me, I’ll be able to snatch him right out from under Yun Zijin and Qin Sitong! We’ll see how they act so high and mighty in front of me then!’
"Oh, in that case, we’re already acquainted,"
Understanding Ren Hui’s motive, Yun Zijin said coolly.
"Who wants to be acquainted with you? I want to meet that gentleman!"
Ren Hui’s gaze was fixed on Zero One behind Yun Zijin.
Yun Zijin and Qin Sitong stared at Ren Hui, speechless. ’Is there something seriously wrong with her?’
"Oh, this is my bodyguard. During his work hours, his time belongs to me. If you want to meet him, you’ll have to wait until he gets off work.
Oh, right, I forgot. His job is to protect my personal safety 24/7, so you might never get the chance to meet him. Oh well."
Yun Zijin said with a look of mock regret.
Ren Hui’s face was a picture of confusion; she clearly hadn’t figured out the situation.
"Bodyguard? How is that possible! Are you afraid that after he meets me, he’ll find out I’m better than you and treat me better than you?"
’Honestly,’ Yun Zijin thought, ’I’m almost impressed by how bizarre Ren Hui’s logic is.’
"Alright, think whatever you want. We’re done shopping and we’re leaving, so please get out of our way."
Yun Zijin didn’t want to waste her breath explaining things to Ren Hui. Some people were just too dense to understand plain language.
’I paid with my own card, and she still insists on pinning the VIC title on Zero One. It just proves her head is only on her shoulders to make her taller.’
Li Cui, standing behind them, had a complicated expression on her face. Even she had understood what Yun Zijin and Qin Sitong were implying, yet Ren Hui was still being this stubborn.
It was strange how Yun Zijin had become an Hermes VIC client over a single summer break, but judging from the sales associate’s attitude, it had to be true.
"No, you can’t leave until you explain things clearly!"
Ren Hui was dead set on getting to know this VIC client.
"Huihui, the VIC client they’re talking about... it might be... Yun Zijin."
Li Cui couldn’t bear to watch any longer. She quickly went over, pulled Ren Hui aside, and whispered in her ear.
At Li Cui’s words, Ren Hui’s eyes widened in shock. Her gaze finally shifted to Yun Zijin.
"You... you’re their VIC client?"
Ren Hui was in total disbelief. This wasn’t part of her calculations at all.
If this was true, then the things she had just said to Yun Zijin...
Ren Hui’s face turned white, then green.
"Now that you’ve figured it out, step aside. We have other stores to get to."
’At a time like this, it was best to say nothing. Just give Ren Hui’s imagination enough room to run wild, and she’d piece everything together on her own.’
Ren Hui hadn’t sorted out the sequence of events yet, but the thought that Yun Zijin might actually be an Hermes VIC client was enough for her to finally step aside.
’Even if she was a bit dense, she was at least smart enough to know when to back down.’
Yun Zijin left the Hermes boutique with Qin Sitong and Zero One. To confirm her suspicions, Ren Hui dragged Li Cui along and followed the group of three.
Zero One noticed them at once and reported it to Yun Zijin.
Yun Zijin arched an eyebrow but wasn’t particularly bothered. As long as they didn’t interfere with her and Qin Sitong’s shopping trip, it was fine.
Ren Hui and Li Cui watched with their own eyes as Yun Zijin led Qin Sitong from one luxury boutique to the next. In every single store, Ren Hui could clearly see the sales associates treating Yun Zijin with extraordinary enthusiasm—even their professional smiles seemed far more genuine.
"Tell me, how did Yun Zijin suddenly get so rich?"
Neither of them was from Dijing. They had both gone home for summer break, so naturally they didn’t know what had happened in Dijing over the summer.
And they knew even less about what had happened to Yun Zijin.
"Huihui, I don’t know either! I was at my hometown all summer and had no contact with Yun Zijin at all.
But don’t worry, I’ll ask around when I get back today. I’ll definitely find out for you what’s happened during this time!"
Li Cui may have been Ren Hui’s lackey, but she still had some channels for gathering information.
"Go back now. Hurry up and find out everything for me!"
Ren Hui had lost all interest in shopping for clothes and jewelry. Her mind was consumed by a single thought: Yun Zijin was an Hermes VIC client.
