Chapter 2: Xingyu Mansion Villa No. 1

Chapter 2: Xingyu Mansion Villa No. 1

"Li Na!"

The store manager appeared out of nowhere and scolded Li Na.

Yun Zijin raised an eyebrow. She arrived just in time.

"Good day, Miss. I am the store manager, Zhou Ling. Our staff training has been inadequate, and I apologize for the trouble caused to you.

This is a small token of compensation from the store. Please, do accept it."

In Zhou Ling’s hand was a Tiffany shopping bag.

[Elsa Peretti Open Heart Necklace, Price: 12,200.00]

"Suibianhua" (Spend Freely) was very thoughtful, having labeled it for her on the packaging.

"The gift isn't necessary, but as for my order... I hope it doesn't end up with irrelevant people."

Although Xiao Mei hadn't come to serve her at first, she had been patient enough to introduce the products later on and acted as a qualified sales associate.

"Rest assured, that will absolutely not happen!"

On this point, the store manager could guarantee it.

[1 hour remaining until the 2-hour limit]

"Suibianhua" began the countdown again. Yun Zijin immediately left Tiffany and stepped into the second store—Hermès.

Perhaps because Yun Zijin was carrying the Tiffany bag, the sales associate, while not overly enthusiastic, didn't ignore her either.

"Hello, is there anything you need, Miss?"

"Do you have any bags in stock right now?"

"I would need to check the inventory for that. You are welcome to look at other items in our store."

Although it was her first time here, Yun Zijin knew this was the Hermès "quota" system; if you want to buy a bag, you have to buy other items in their store first.

With only one hour left, Yun Zijin didn't bother being picky. Whether she could get a bag or not was a matter for later; she would start by clearing the shelves.

Horse charm, buy!

Lucky bag charm, buy!

Slippers, buy!

Trash can, buy!

...

She didn't know how much she had grabbed, but she only stopped when the sales associate could no longer hold everything in her hands.

"Calculate the total."

"Certainly. That comes to 563,000 in total. Will you be paying by card or cash?"

"Card."

The sales associate led Yun Zijin to the checkout counter. After the payment went through, she smiled and said to Yun Zijin, "I just checked the inventory and found there is one beige size 39 HERBAG. Would you like it?"

Yun Zijin thought to herself: *As expected, how could they be out of stock? It’s all about the quota.*

"Sure, please pack it up for me. Just swipe the card."

There was no time left, and Yun Zijin didn't intend to waste it looking at the bag; she just told the associate to pack it up.

The sales associate beamed: "Very well. Xiao Qiu, please help the customer check out."

Another 32,050.00 spent.

However, Yun Zijin was still 1,048,200.00 short of her spending target.

"Leave the items here; I'll come back to pick them up later, is that alright?"

Yun Zijin wanted to finish spending the money quickly. She had bought quite a lot, and if she had to carry it all, she would barely be able to walk, let alone continue shopping.

"Of course. You can provide us with an address, and we can provide home delivery service."

Yun Zijin left the address of the rental apartment she was currently living in and hurried off, running straight into the Piaget watch store across the way.

"Good day, Miss. Welcome to Piaget."

Yun Zijin nodded and began scanning the watches in the store.

Finally, her gaze settled on two watches.

The first: Piaget LIMELIGHT GALA series diamond-set ladies' watch, limited to 50 pieces, price: 595,000.00.

The second: Piaget ALTIPLANO ultra-thin 18K white gold mechanical watch, price: 441,000.00.

Total: 1,036,000.00. She was still 12,200.00 away from her target.

"Pack these two for me. Card."

Yun Zijin quickly chose the watches and took out her bank card to pay, leaving the sales associate stunned. However, being a veteran associate who had dealt with many eccentric customers, she recovered quickly.

"Very well."

She efficiently packed the two watches and led Yun Zijin to the checkout.

From entering the store to paying, it took Yun Zijin less than 10 minutes.

Yun Zijin’s extravagant payment style left the other customers in the store, who were still browsing, completely dumbfounded.

"Are young people these days so low-key? Wearing clothes worth less than 500, but buying million-dollar watches?"

Yun Zijin didn't care what others thought. After buying the watches, she headed straight to the Lotus mobile phone store on the first floor. She added 799 of her own money to buy the latest "Extraordinary Master" flagship phone. The two-million-yuan spending task was perfectly completed!

[Newbie Task: Spend 2,000,000.00 yuan within 2 hours, completed!

Task Reward: Triggered 2x rebate, 4,000,000.00 yuan has been deposited into the host's savings card; ownership of Villa No. 1 in the Xingyu Mansion detached villa area has been granted. Relevant documents have been placed in the system backpack. Please check.]

Yun Zijin:!!!

It made her spend two million, then gave her four million plus a house?

Is this system, which brings novels into reality, really this generous?

Yun Zijin felt her phone vibrate. She picked it up and saw a bank deposit notification.

[Your savings card ending in 3470 received an electronic transfer of 4,000,000.00 yuan from "Suibianhua" on July 1st at 9:21 AM. Current balance: 4,014,476.74 yuan. (Construction Bank)]

Looking at the amount, Yun Zijin almost forgot to breathe.

"Suibianhua" really meant "spend freely"!

She spent two million and got four million back—it really was encouraging her to spend freely, and the more she spent, the more she got!

Yun Zijin quickly closed the page, keeping her expression as calm as possible so no one could see her emotional fluctuations.

Wealth moves people, but that’s not just a saying; keeping a low profile while getting rich is the true path to success.

Yun Zijin covered her phone and went to a nearby milk tea shop, ordered a mango smoothie, and took a large gulp to calm her nerves once the server brought it over.

After settling her emotions, Yun Zijin called the Hermès counter to change the delivery address.

Now that she had a villa, it was time to move!

After finishing her smoothie, Yun Zijin took a taxi to Xingyu Mansion.

It was her first time at this residential complex. Using the bags as a cover, she took the access card out of her system backpack, swiped it to enter, and walked to the guard station.

"Hello, I am the owner of Villa No. 1. It's my first time here; could you please tell me how to get there?"

Since Yun Zijin was a new face, the guard had been preparing to ask for her identification when she swiped the card. Now that she was asking, it suited him perfectly.

"Oh, so you're the owner of Villa No. 1! Just follow the main road; the first building you see is it. It's very easy to recognize."

Villa No. 1 was located right in the center of the entire Xingyu Mansion, making it the "King of Villas" in the complex.

It had been sold since the project launched, but the owner had never appeared. No one expected them to show up so suddenly today.

"Alright, thank you. I came in a hurry today and didn't bring anything, but these are some roasted chestnuts I bought on the way. Please, have some."

She had seen them being sold on the side of the road while in the taxi and had suddenly felt like eating them, so she asked the driver to stop.

"Hey! Why are you being so polite? It's all part of the job. Our complex covers quite a large area; if you walk, it'll take you at least fifteen or twenty minutes.

I'll call the patrol team to give you a ride. Please wait a moment."

"Okay, thank you!"

See? This is where social skills come in handy.

The guard used his walkie-talkie to call a patrol vehicle, which drove Yun Zijin to Villa No. 1.

After getting out, Yun Zijin thanked the patrol staff and waited for them to leave before entering the villa gate with her password.

As soon as she stepped inside, the Chinese-style decor caught her eye, and Yun Zijin fell in love with it instantly.

The main villa covered an area of 1,200 square meters and had three floors. There was also a smaller villa in the back, estimated to be about 500 square meters. With the front and back lawns and the underground garage, in terms of Beijing's property prices, it would be impossible to get this for anything less than several hundred million.

She, Yun Zijin, was now a homeowner in Beijing!

Yun Zijin waited in the villa for the Hermès delivery before taking a taxi back to her rental.

She rented a one-bedroom apartment. The landlady, an elderly woman, saw that she had just graduated and was a girl, so she only charged her 2,000 yuan a month.

In Beijing, where every inch of land is worth gold, finding a one-bedroom for 2,000 yuan was like meeting a living Bodhisattva.

Yun Zijin was very grateful to the landlady. Although she was planning to move out, she would still come to visit her in the future.

The apartment was on the second floor, just a few steps away. Once home, Yun Zijin began to pack her things.

"Knock, knock, knock..."
