148: Chapter 148 High-Tech Carpets!
Inside the dining room of the Pearl Castle, there was an abundance of extravagant modern furniture and specialized tableware from luxury fragrance brands.
Everything here screamed four words: worth a fortune!
"I really like this carpet."
As Xue Shuangshuang stepped onto the long brown carpet, she felt her shoes being enveloped in a layer of softness.
However, this softness didn't make her stumble; instead, walking on it felt like having a stronger grip on the floor.
"What's going on? This carpet feels a bit strange."
Even Juliana, who was standing nearby, was somewhat surprised. It was also her first time seeing such a unique carpet.
Such a soft carpet that looked incredibly thick and heavy, yet it didn't cause one to wobble while walking.
Shen Zhou also shifted his feet slightly, feeling quite amazed as well.
He thought back to the few times he had walked on red carpets before, remembering the extreme hardness and discomfort beneath his feet.
Compared to this carpet, which looked thick enough to cause a sprain but provided an incredibly strong grip, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.
"Mr. Shen, and ladies, this carpet is actually a product of combined craftsmanship and technology."
The beautiful saleswoman slowly crouched down, showing off her slender figure while gently lifting a corner of the carpet.
Shen Zhou stole a few glances at her graceful figure before finally following her explanation to observe the carpet.
Underneath the carpet, there were long, soft filaments.
"Mr. Shen, these filaments are high-tech creations made from a combination of natural leather and rubber."
"In a sense, these filaments possess a powerful memory function."
"When Mr. Shen and the two ladies step on the carpet, it begins to record your weight, the soles of your feet, and the contours of your shoes."
"Therefore, it adjusts the firmness of the carpet where you are about to step according to the size and movement of your stride."
The saleswoman explained dutifully, but her gaze remained mostly focused on Mr. Shen.
Her eyes seemed to grow even brighter.
"Mr. Shen was looking at me just now. It seems my charm hasn't faded a bit since the old days!"
The saleswoman, who possessed a certain mature womanly charm, felt secretly proud.
This Mr. Shen had two top-tier beauties on his arms.
And he had appeared on the European Continent with an Asian face.
It was clear that Mr. Shen had an immense net worth and likely an extraordinary status.
If she could get close to this mysterious Mr. Shen, perhaps her life would undergo a social class leap.
"I've finally caught my chance!"
The saleswoman roared inwardly with excitement.
The whole way there, she had tried to curry favor with Shen Zhou.
But neither Xue Shuangshuang nor Juliana had given her any opportunity.
Having finally found the perfect angle to crouch and show off her figure,
she naturally had to put on a good performance!
"Miss, you don't need to crouch for so long. You can stand up now."
Juliana couldn't help but urge her.
Being a woman herself, and having spent years in the complex entertainment industry, she quickly noticed the saleswoman's ulterior motives.
"Of course, ma'am."
The saleswoman stood up without a change in expression.
She wasn't flustered at all.
After all, she had been introducing the carpet with a very professional crouching posture.
No one could find fault with her.
Beside them, Xue Shuangshuang couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle, as she had also noticed the saleswoman's behavior.
"Honey, you really are a hot commodity!"
Xue Shuangshuang said to Shen Zhou in Chinese, which the saleswoman couldn't understand at all.
Shen Zhou felt a bit embarrassed.
Although he liked beautiful women, he wouldn't just make a move on a saleswoman the moment he saw one.
Furthermore, this saleswoman was a bit older. Though she had a strong mature aura, having one mature woman like Li Manzhi was enough for him.
"Continue showing us around."
Shen Zhou waved his hand.
The saleswoman immediately continued leading the group forward.
As they walked around a corner, they saw some famous paintings and sculptures placed in the corners and on the walls.
Many of the portraits depicted white Europeans.
Naturally, there were also some European antiques that looked quite valuable.
"Mr. Shen, these are items left behind by the previous owner."
"That owner mentioned they don't have a suitable place to store them yet, so they left them here."
"However, if Mr. Shen is interested, we can contact the previous owner to deal with their items at any time."
The saleswoman even enthusiastically introduced the origin and market value of each antique to Mr. Shen and the others.
Hearing that the previous owner's things were still here might sound a bit unpleasant to some.
It might even make some feel that the property management lacked professionalism.
However, the value and aesthetic appeal of these antiques were quite impressive, and they even seemed to complement the Pearl Castle.
So, Shen Zhou wasn't annoyed; instead, he began to personally examine the antiques with great care.
He picked up a unique wooden goat-head statue. Feeling the surface of the statue with his thumb, he finally nodded in satisfaction.
"Don't be in a hurry to take these things away. If I decide to buy this castle, I'd like to purchase these items as well."
Shen Zhou spoke quite seriously.
It was clear that the previous owner had excellent vision and taste.
Each antique was placed in a very appropriate spot.
They added a touch of historical elegance and atmosphere to the Pearl Castle.
Even if Shen Zhou moved in, he didn't want to change the general layout of the castle.
"What do you two think?"
Shen Zhou turned his head to look at Xue Shuangshuang and Juliana.
"These antiques are indeed quite nice. I've even seen several of them at an Auction before."
"I didn't expect them to turn up here."
Juliana remarked with some emotion, then continued with a bit of hesitation:
"But the value of some of these antiques is quite extraordinary. Do we really want to buy them all?"
In her view, Shen Zhou was Asian after all, so he might not care that much about European culture.
And these antiques all came from Europe's glittering history.
Perhaps Shen Zhou wouldn't value them that much.
Shen Zhou waved his hand dismissively.
"It's fine. They're just decorations anyway."
He didn't care how high the value of these things was.
He only cared whether they looked good and whether they were suitable for where they were placed.
Xue Shuangshuang appropriately linked her arm with Shen Zhou's.
She said in a sweet voice, "If we buy these antiques, I can film a few more videos and post them on Weibo to show my colleagues a thing or two."
As she spoke, a glint of competitiveness flickered in the depths of Xue Shuangshuang's eyes.
It was unclear which vixen from her workplace she was thinking of.
