Chapter 5: Buy, Buy, Buy! Xia Jiaojiao is Awake

After finishing her hot pot, Yun Zijin headed straight for the luxury goods floor.

Forgive her; she had never been wealthy in her life, and the only places she could think of to spend money quickly—other than buying cars or houses—were luxury boutiques.

It was quite late, and the various auto malls in Dijing were in remote locations, so buying a car was definitely out. As for real estate, she already owned Villa No. 1 at Xingyu Huafu and had no desire to buy another property for the time being.

In the end, Jinsheng Mall was the most suitable choice.

Yun Zijin had bought jewelry and bags from Tiffany and Hermès yesterday, so she decided to start her shopping spree from the third store today.

The third store was Cartier.

Yun Zijin had learned a little about the brand from her colleagues.

The sales associates at Cartier had already heard about Yun Zijin’s spending habits from the previous three stores in their group chat.

They had originally felt it was a pity that this low-key wealthy woman had almost entered their store to shop, only to be intercepted by the watch store across the way.

They hadn't expected her to return today.

She was as low-key as ever, wearing only a 3,000-yuan Hermès cypress-green UNI bracelet.

It was said that yesterday, she had spent less than 10 minutes picking up two watches totaling a million yuan.

"Hello, miss. I’m Xiao Qing from the Cartier counter. Welcome."

Yun Zijin nodded. She didn't ask for an introduction, preferring to browse on her own.

"This bag looks alright. Let me take a look."

Yun Zijin pointed to the Panthère de Cartier ultra-small chain handbag in calfskin with gold and palladium finishes, displayed in a corner cabinet.

She preferred designs that were simple and elegant; she didn't like large logos, and this one looked quite nice.

Xiao Qing felt a bit disappointed inside, as this bag cost less than 10,000 yuan. However, after yesterday's events, she knew Yun Zijin was wealthy, so she skillfully took the display item out and let Yun Zijin try it on.

"You have such great 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 accessory. It’s a classic, exquisite, and versatile piece suitable for any occasion. It looks wonderful on you; it really suits you."

"Wrap it up. And this bracelet, get me one of these too."

In addition to the bag, Yun Zijin had taken a fancy to a LOVE series rose gold diamond-paved bracelet, priced at 445,000.00 yuan. With the 9,350.00 yuan bag, the total came to 454,350.00 yuan.

Xiao Qing beamed. The rumors about this low-key wealthy woman were true—she could buy a bracelet worth hundreds of thousands, but she would also buy a bag under ten thousand, all based on her own preferences.

Yun Zijin didn't know how these sales associates were evaluating her. She bought these relatively affordable items purely because she wanted to gradually replace her wardrobe.

Start with items worth a few thousand, then move to tens of thousands, and finally hundreds of thousands. By changing little by little, no one would find it strange; they would only think that her consumption level had always been this way.

After finishing at Cartier, Yun Zijin went to Chanel.

Yun Zijin didn't particularly like Chanel's recent ready-to-wear collections, but she had her eye on the "Golden Ball" square bag in the store.

She was lucky; there was one last piece left, and she snapped it up.

Finally, Yun Zijin bought a set of Chance perfumes, bringing her total spending at the Chanel store to 51,960.00 yuan.

However, Yun Zijin wasn't very satisfied with this speed of spending.

Thinking about how she had spent a million yuan on two watches yesterday, Yun Zijin set her sights on luxury watch stores again.

A wealthy woman’s motto is to spread the love, so Yun Zijin finally entered Vacheron Constantin.

Yun Zijin’s track record had already spread across the luxury floor of Jinsheng Mall. As soon as the Vacheron Constantin staff saw her enter, those who weren't busy with other customers swarmed over.

However, Yun Zijin didn't like having too many people around her, so she told them to decide among themselves who would serve her.

Before they could decide, Yun Zijin started browsing the store herself.

She stopped when she saw a watch that looked like a piece of jewelry.

The sales associates quickly decided on a server, and seeing Yun Zijin stop, they hurried over.

"Hello, miss. This is our brand’s Égérie Moon Phase jewelry mechanical watch, model 8016F. It is adorned with 1,377 gorgeous diamonds and features a poetic, precise moon phase display function. The concentric, off-center design is a tribute to the historical watch designs of Vacheron Constantin..."

Yun Zijin didn't really want to hear all that; she only cared if she thought it looked good.

She waited for the associate to finish before nodding. "Wrap it up."

"Certainly!"

This Miss Yun was truly the most straightforward customer she had ever served.

Having already bought two watches yesterday and one today, Yun Zijin didn't want to buy any more.

She settled the bill and left Vacheron Constantin.

Remembering that her skincare products were running low, Yun Zijin began looking for skincare in the mall.

She bought several sets from well-known major brands and several boxes of facial masks, thinking she would use them to compare and decide which brand to stick with next time.

But her spending task was still over a million yuan short, so Yun Zijin stepped into Hermès for the second time.

The sales associate who served her last time, Xu Qin, was still there.

"Miss Yun, welcome back."

"Mm, my goal this time is the Kelly in Etain. You know the one, right?"

"I do. Let me have someone check if we have it in stock. You can take a look at other things in the meantime."

Yun Zijin knew what she meant, so she started scanning the store.

Passifolia dinner plate No. 1, buy!

"Hermès Show" mug 3-piece set, buy!

Hermès Un Jardin sur le Nil perfume set, buy!

...

As long as it looked decent, Yun Zijin had Xu Qin wrap it up. Besides, they offered home delivery.

"Like rain when the clouds are low, my heart stirred when you sang softly..."

Just as Yun Zijin finished her shopping, her phone rang.

She looked down and saw an unfamiliar number, so she instinctively rejected the call.

There were so many telecom scams these days; it was better not to answer unknown numbers.

"Ms. Yun, the warehouse manager just contacted me. There is exactly one Kelly in Etain. Shall I wrap it up for you?"

Yun Zijin nodded, and the card payment went through quickly.

【Consumption task: Spend 4,000,000.00 yuan before midnight, completed!

Task reward: 3x rebate triggered, 12,000,000.00 yuan has been deposited into the host's savings card; ownership of Dingsi Building, relevant documents have been placed in the system backpack, please check.】

???

Dingsi Building? Was it the building she was thinking of?

Yun Zijin couldn't wait to see the documents. She quickly hailed a taxi and told the driver to take her to Xingyu Huafu.

"Like rain when the clouds are low, my heart stirred when you sang softly..."

As soon as Yun Zijin got into the car, someone called her again.

Looking at the number, it was the same one 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 instinctively frowned. "What do you want?"

"Jiaojiao has woken up. I don't know where she heard that she isn't the daughter of the Xia family, but she’s been very restless. Are you free now? Come to Kangde Hospital."

Although Xia Zhiyun asked if she was free, Yun Zijin could hear the commanding tone in his voice.

Yun Zijin frowned, her impression of Xia Zhiyun dropping even further.
