Today's Spending Mission Accomplished, Yay
Faced with the sales assistant's unprecedented enthusiasm, and since the brand's clothes really did have excellent quality and design, Chi Qing picked out several more outfits to wear underneath.
A small beige cashmere turtleneck cost over 8,000, and a pair of trousers cost over 5,000. With all the odds and ends, Chi Qing had spent 110,000 by the time she left. Even someone like her, who earned money every day without lifting a finger, had to cry out, "What a sin!"
Afterward, Chi Qing browsed skincare shops, makeup shops, clothing and shoe stores, and several luxury handbag stores. With the MaxMara shopping bags in her hands lending her their prestige, she now drew the sales assistants' spotlight-like attention wherever she went.
The sales assistants were no longer politely distant, either. They were so enthusiastic that it was as if Chi Qing were their long-lost relative.
In the end, Chi Qing bought another two Chanel bags, along with a pile of clothing and accessories, from the male Chanel sales associate who had sold her a bag last time.
His eight-tooth smile was practically widening into a sixteen-tooth grin. He eagerly took the initiative to bring several colleagues along and help Chi Qing carry her bags down to the underground parking garage.
When he saw the Cayenne badge gleaming dazzlingly on Chi Qing's car, his enthusiasm abruptly reached a whole new level.
Meanwhile, Chi Qing secretly felt relieved that her car did not have its license plates yet and that she had kept her mask on the whole time. Otherwise, her license plate number would probably have spread through every luxury store in the mall~
Shopping really was physically demanding. Chi Qing was so tired that she had no energy left to go out for a meal.
She drove straight home, registered Little White's license plate number, and drove into the underground garage. Oh, right-she had been drinking yesterday, so Little White was still parked in the hot pot restaurant's parking lot. She would have to find time to drive her back.
The residential development where Chi Qing lived was a suburban complex consisting mainly of villas. Apart from the two high-rise buildings, one of which housed Chi Qing's apartment, everything else was various types of villas. Those two high-rises had only been built to meet the overall floor area ratio.
Chi Qing had worked for the developer of this complex back then. At the time, the company had lowered housing prices to boost its year-end sales figures. Combined with an employee discount and a low down payment payable in installments, that had given Chi Qing the chance to buy the first home of her life.
Since the development consisted mainly of villas, luxury cars of all kinds were a common sight coming and going. But it was a Cayenne, after all, so the security guard still stole a glance at Chi Qing. Everyone liked looking at beautiful cars and beautiful women.
Running up and down on her own, Chi Qing made two trips before she finally got all her bags home.
The occupancy rate in Chi Qing's complex was low, so she barely encountered anyone along the way. Besides, she did not know her neighbors well, and even when they did meet, they were practically strangers to one another.
Utterly exhausted, Chi Qing filled the living room with her purchases as soon as she got home, then collapsed onto the sofa.
She picked up her phone and looked through the card transaction notifications. The final balance showed a little over 160,000 remaining.
Chi Qing thought, It turns out that once you really have money, it lasts quite a while, too.
What should I do with this 160,000? If I don't spend it all today, I won't get another deposit until the day after tomorrow. No, that would waste a whole day!
So Chi Qing opened Taobao on her phone and picked a luxury watch shop at random. Too tired to pay much attention to the styles, she simply chose a watch costing a little over 160,000 based on its price and placed the order.
With a few hundred left in her balance, Chi Qing opened a food delivery app and splurged on a meal from the upscale Cantonese restaurant she had previously been reluctant to order from, thoroughly enjoying her meal.
After eating and taking a shower, Chi Qing finally recovered. She sorted out everything she had bought that day, neatly covering the entire living room with it, then took out her phone and snapped away.
