2: Shopping
Jiang Li looked at the two people over there. The woman seemed to be Shen Jia, the daughter of a nouveau riche, and the man seemed to be the one her roommate liked, named Li Songrui.
Who would have thought! They haven't even broken up yet, and he's already found his next one!
Back then, Jiang Li was the one who delivered her roommate Li Yanchu's love letter, which ended up causing quite a scene.
Shen Jia and Li Songrui were about to get into the car. Looking at the delivery staff nearby, Shen Jia reached out for the keys. "Give me the keys."
The delivery man looked at the chubby woman in front of him and the man beside her who looked like a total sycophant, then asked good-naturedly, "Excuse me, are you Miss Jiang?"
Shen Jia heard him and snapped, "What did you say?"
The delivery man, Xiao Zhao, didn't expect someone so young to have such poor hearing.
So he repeated himself, "Excuse me, are you Miss Jiang Li?"
This time Shen Jia heard him perfectly. "You said Jiang Li? How could that little bitch possibly..."
Li Songrui, standing beside her, also heard and spoke up in surprise, "Jiang Li? How is that possible! Her family doesn't have that much money."
The surrounding people heard the name: Jiang Li.
Some didn't know her. "Who is Jiang Li?" Before anyone could answer—
Jiang Li stepped out from behind the crowd.
She walked up to the delivery man. "Hello, I am Jiang Li."
The delivery man, Xiao Zhao, thought her voice sounded very similar to the one he heard on the phone earlier. "Miss Jiang, here are your car keys."
"Mm, thank you for your hard work."
"It's no trouble at all," Xiao Zhao replied.
Jiang Li walked to the rolls-royce cullinan and used the key to open the door, only then remembering that her driver's license hadn't arrived yet.
She had finished the fourth subject of the exam, but it would still be a few days before she received her license.
If she had known, she would have taken the test earlier. Sigh, it's hard to even get on the road now.
“Um, Xiao Zhao, do you have time this afternoon?”
Zhao Qingshuo heard her and replied, “I’m free, Miss Jiang. Is there something you need?”
“My driver's license hasn't arrived yet. If you have nothing else to do, be my driver for half a day, and I'll give you ten thousand yuan.”
Hearing 'ten thousand', Zhao Qingshuo immediately said, “No problem, Miss Jiang. After you.”
After Jiang Li got into the car, Zhao Qingshuo closed the door, then got into the driver's seat and drove away.
The people at the school gate were all watching Shen Jia and Li Songrui's embarrassment.
“This Shen Jia is really hilarious, and that guy is truly...”
Shen Jia and Li Songrui felt like they had completely lost face. Just then, another delivery person arrived, stepped out of the driver's seat, and shouted with a heavy accent, “Who is Miss Shen Jia?”
But Shen Jia heard him. “Stop shouting! Give me the keys.”
The delivery man looked at the woman in front of him. She looked quite good; her figure would definitely be suitable for childbearing.
“The delivery fee is one hundred yuan. How would you like to pay?” Shen Jia wanted nothing more than to leave immediately, but the man kept standing there, so she gritted her teeth and said, “Alipay.”
After paying, she took Li Songrui and drove away in that Mercedes-Benz A3L.
How could a car worth over two hundred thousand compare to an eight-million-yuan rolls-royce cullinan?
Li Songrui sat in the passenger seat, thinking about the Jiang Li from just now.
He only just realized that Jiang Li was actually so beautiful, and more importantly, rich.
Seeing Li Songrui's distracted look, Shen Jia pulled the car over to the side of the road. “Li Songrui, are you thinking about that little bitch Jiang Li? I'm telling you, you're my boyfriend now. You'd better break up with that girlfriend of yours, Li Yanchu. Otherwise, don't blame me for taking back all the money I've spent on you.”
Li Songrui heard this and said, “I know.” He had already used the things Shen Jia bought him to act like a big shot and lend them to his roommates.
He couldn't get them back now.
So, under Shen Jia's watchful gaze, Li Songrui opened Li Yanchu's WeChat and sent a message: Let's break up.
“Is that okay, Jiajia?”
Shen Jia was finally satisfied and drove off with Li Songrui.
On Jiang Li's side, Zhao Qingshuo drove the car and soon arrived at the Bank of China.
To welcome Jiang Li, everyone at the Bank of China was standing by in readiness.
Zhao Qingshuo's car stopped, and he went to the back to open the door.
The manager of the Bank of China saw this and hurried forward to welcome her.
“Miss Jiang, this way please.”
The manager looked at Miss Jiang's simple clothes and thought that indeed, the richer people are, the simpler they dress.
Even if someone had money coming in, they wouldn't have such a large amount of capital; after all, many people needed it to run their companies.
“Miss Jiang, this is your Black Card, one of only ten such Black Cards in all of Shanghai.”
Jiang Li looked at the Black Card, took it, and then handed over her ID card. “Mm, thank you.”
The manager took the ID card, completed the authentication, and hurriedly handed it back to Jiang Li. “Miss Jiang, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to visit our bank.”
Jiang Li took her ID card and left.
Zhao Qingshuo continued to act as her driver.
But he didn't know what to do next, so he asked, “Miss Jiang, where are we going next?”
“To Central Plaza.”
Shopping.
“Alright, Miss Jiang.”
Zhao Qingshuo drove very steadily, and Jiang Li inadvertently fell asleep.
In the end, it was Zhao Qingshuo who woke her up. “Miss Jiang? ... Miss Jiang, we've arrived at Central Plaza.”
Jiang Li woke up dazed. “Mm, okay.”
Then she got out of the car and took the elevator out of the parking lot.
Central Plaza—it truly lived up to being in Shanghai; it really contained everything, there was nothing you couldn't find.
Jiang Li told Zhao Qingshuo to go wander around on his own and just wait for her in the first-floor lobby in two hours.
She also gave him the ten thousand yuan she had promised earlier.
After receiving the money and hearing Jiang Li's instructions, Zhao Qingshuo said, “Alright, Miss Jiang,” and then left.
This was the perfect time to go buy a piece of clothing for his girlfriend.
Jiang Li, dressed in simple clothes, planned to go browse the cosmetics first.
The first shop was Givenchy.
Because it was the closest to her.
When Jiang Li entered the shop, some people saw that the clothes she was wearing were unremarkable and didn't bother to go over. After all, there were plenty of people who came just to leech off the makeup samples.
They were truly fed up with it; not only was it a waste of time, but in the end, those people would buy nothing and leave with a full face of makeup.
An intern saw her and stepped forward to greet her. “Hello, Miss. Is there anything I can help you with?”
Jiang Li looked at the young woman in front of her, who didn't seem very old but was very friendly, so she said softly, “I want to buy some cosmetics. Please give me some recommendations.”
“Alright, Miss, please come this way.”
“I see your skin is very good. Would you like to try this Prisme Libre Skin-Caring Glow Foundation?”
“Okay, let me try it.”
“Alright.”
After that, she started applying makeup to Jiang Li. “This shade is N95; it's very suitable for fair skin, especially since your complexion is exceptionally white.”
“This is the Prisme Libre Loose Powder; it's also very good to use.”
Finally, for the lipstick, she introduced, “This is N17 Cool Red Chestnut; it suits you very well.”
Jiang Li looked at herself in the mirror; she looked very beautiful.
“Okay, give me two sets of all of these. Actually, give me two of everything you have in the store.” After thinking about it, she decided to just buy it all!
