Free Web NovelChapter 24: Chapter 18: My Goodness, Shen Yanzhi Is So Generous
"Sister Yao, your old classmate doesn’t exactly look broke."
Guo Yao glared irritably at her follower, but even though she was furious, she didn’t leave.
She just wanted to see with her own eyes if Jiang Li was actually bluffing.
After all, this was a matter of several million, not just a few thousand or tens of thousands.
Since Jiang Li hadn’t made any specific requests, the sales associate was quick to bundle the items. She returned in just a few minutes carrying a huge pile of things.
"Ma’am, these are the items we’ve bundled for you. The total comes to 5.12 million."
Jiang Li nodded. "Alipay." She then opened her payment QR code.
The sales associate quickly trotted over to the cash register to get the POS machine and scanned the code.
Seeing the receipt print out with her own eyes, Guo Yao felt her whole world crumble.
’No way, do supermarket owners make this much money nowadays?’
’Casually dropping five million without even blinking.’
’Her own family only got a little over four million from the demolition compensation, and life only started looking up after they started a small business.’
Seeing Guo Yao’s pale face, her follower asked with concern, "Sister Yao, what’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?"
She wasn’t unwell; she had clearly just been put in her place.
Just then, her phone vibrated. It was a text message from the girl from earlier with the specific address and time for the reunion.
After getting a clear look at the address, Guo Yao couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath.
The International Trade Restaurant!
The legendary high-end restaurant where the average bill per person was in the six figures.
’Have these people lost their minds?!’
The look she gave Jiang Li became even more resentful.
She didn’t even have to think to know that since Jiang Li was attending the reunion, she must have been the one who specifically booked the International Trade Restaurant.
Turning off her phone screen, she looked at Jiang Li and said in a sour tone, "12 PM, in private room 888 at the International Trade Restaurant."
Jiang Li nodded. "Got it."
She turned to Zhong Mufeng. "Let’s go. Time to buy a new outfit."
Although they had bought quite a few things earlier, nothing was suitable for a class reunion.
Everyone knows that a class reunion is just one big competition.
Besides, they’d had most of their purchases sent directly home, so they weren’t even carrying a single shopping bag.
This was also why Guo Yao had assumed they couldn’t afford Hermes the moment she saw them. Compared to Guo Yao, she and Zhong Mufeng were indeed dressed a bit shabbily.
Zhong Mufeng was shocked. "We’re buying more?"
’The transaction was done. Even if Jiang Li had made money from stock trading, she had just spent over five million in one go. Her funds should be close to bottoming out.’
Jiang Li gave Zhong Mufeng a reassuring look. "I’ve got this!"
Zhong Mufeng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but she agreed they really did need to buy a proper outfit to make a statement.
She happened to have a few tens of thousands in her bank account, so buying a new outfit was doable. "Let’s go to a different store, then."
Jiang Li was noncommittal. She gave the sales associate an address for delivery, then shoved the bag directly into Zhong Mufeng’s arms. "Here."
Zhong Mufeng looked completely overwhelmed. "Wait, is this really for me?"
Jiang Li lifted her chin. "If I’m not giving it to you, should I give it to her?"
Zhong Mufeng clutched the bag with both hands. "No way."
She then looked down at the bag she’d been dreaming of and sighed, "I guess now I’m living off my best friend."
Jiang Li shook her head, a little exasperated, and complained internally: ’What’s one bag? There’s endless wealth and glory to come.’
Although she didn’t really like Guo Yao, she was a classmate, and they would be eating together later. So, she nodded at Guo Yao. "See you at the restaurant later."
Without waiting for Guo Yao to respond, she grabbed Zhong Mufeng and strode away.
Zhong Mufeng clicked her tongue. "Why’d you even say hi to her!"
Jiang Li shrugged. "Well, I was thinking we have to eat together later. It’s better not to make things too awkward."
Just as they left the store, her eyes swept over to the Chanel boutique nearby. "Let’s go to Chanel."
Being out in the real world isn’t like being in school. Everyone’s so shrewd.
If you want to show off, you’ve got to wear something with a visible logo.
Chanel was a good choice for that.
Zhong Mufeng hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, that works."
Probably because of the Hermes bag Zhong Mufeng was carrying, a sales associate standing at the entrance immediately homed in on them before they even set foot in the store. "Welcome to Chanel, two beautiful ladies. Please, come in and have a look."
Jiang Li got straight to the point. "We have a class reunion to attend in a bit."
The sales associate made a welcoming gesture. "Perfect timing. We just received a new collection. Please, feel free to browse."
Zhong Mufeng couldn’t help but lean in and whisper to Jiang Li, "When I walked past Chanel before, they wouldn’t even give me a second glance. Now that they see the bag in my hand, they’re like dogs that have spotted meat. They’re just working a job, but they act all superior."
Jiang Li patted Zhong Mufeng’s arm. "Alright, that’s enough."
Zhong Mufeng pouted but didn’t say anything more, following closely behind the sales associate into the VIP room.
The room was quite large, furnished with several silk sofas. There were snacks and pastries on the coffee table, as well as a separate refrigerator and a hot beverage cabinet.
After showing the two to their seats, the sales associate asked, "What would you two like to drink?"
Zhong Mufeng carefully placed her bag on the sofa and crossed her legs. "I’ll have a glass of warm milk."
Jiang Li nodded. "A hot beverage."
The sales associate handed an iPad to Zhong Mufeng. "You two can browse the styles to see if there’s anything you like. I’ll go get your drinks."
’This is a huge sale; I have to provide top-notch service.’
Zhong Mufeng took the iPad and sat next to Jiang Li, and the two put their heads together to pick out styles.
Jiang Li liked every style, while Zhong Mufeng deliberated carefully over each one. In the end, she couldn’t help but sigh, "As expected of Chanel. These clothes are crazy expensive."
But then again, she didn’t like the slightly cheaper ones.
Jiang Li clicked her tongue. "I already told you, I’ve got this. You don’t have to worry about the price at all."
Zhong Mufeng turned to look at Jiang Li in disbelief. "Did you win the lottery?"
Jiang Li didn’t mention the System. Instead, she just took out her phone and showed Zhong Mufeng her transaction history. "Shen Yanzhi transferred ten million to me before."
The corner of Zhong Mufeng’s mouth twitched. "Damn, Shen Yanzhi is really generous."
She was envious, but not jealous.
’Why couldn’t she be so lucky as to meet a man who was both handsome and rich?’
She asked curiously, "By the way, what does your Shen do? How is he so rich?"
Jiang Li replied casually, "I think he’s in investments or something. I didn’t ask for details."
Just as Zhong Mufeng was about to speak, the door was pushed open from the outside, and the sales associate entered holding a bottle of milk and a cup of milk tea.
She first handed Zhong Mufeng the milk she’d requested. "Here is the milk you ordered."
Then she turned and handed the milk tea to Jiang Li. "I wasn’t sure what kind of drink you’d like, so I just bought a milk tea."
Jiang Li reached out and took it. "Thank you."
It was an original milk tea from Mixue Bingcheng. Although it was cheap, it was still a kind gesture.
Placing the milk tea on the coffee table, she took the iPad. "We’ve decided. Except for these few styles, we’ll take all the rest in my size and hers."
