Chapter 45 Shopping Mall Extravaganza: A Spending Spree of 30 Million in One Night – A VVIP Top-Tier Customer of the Shopping Mall!

Ling Yue turned and stepped into Chow Tai Fook.

The sales clerk with a beauty mark was puzzled. Why had she returned? Could it be... that she wanted a refund?!

The expression on her face shifted unpredictably. After a moment of hesitation, she took a half-step behind a colleague.

A new sales clerk with slender fingers greeted Ling Yue, "Hello, Madam, what would you like to see again?"

Ling Yue smiled, her jet-black eyes landing on the display case. She strolled along, her round, fair fingers tapping gently against the cold glass.

"This row, this row, these two rows..."

The new clerk's pupils gradually dilated, but Ling Yue hesitated at this moment.

"Forget it, just wrap up all the gold in the store." She opened her lips again, speaking nonchalantly, as if she had just casually walked into a convenience store on the street to buy a bottle of water.

"A-all of it?" The new clerk's mouth opened slightly, her breathing becoming extremely rapid.

"Bundle them together, try to use as few bags as possible." She hoped it wouldn't be like last time when she went to Chaumet to buy jewelry and ended up with a hundred bags that were a hassle to carry.

The new clerk was so excited that the corners of her eyes turned red, and she was almost unable to speak, "O-okay! I, I will process your checkout right away!"

It must be that the wish she made while burning incense at the temple the day before yesterday had been heard by the God of Wealth!

The fortune stick she drew that day said a noble person would visit soon; it must be this young lady right in front of her!

The commission for this order would definitely be off the charts!

The new clerk was crazily happy and started packing like a bandit sweeping through the area.

The store manager was confused, "There are still other customers in the store, why are you acting so flustered?"

Come here! The new clerk grabbed the store manager and pulled her over, guiding her to face Ling Yue, "This lady wants to buy all the gold in our store, hurry and call people over to help pack!"

"Are you crazy? All of it?" The store manager had been working for five years and had never encountered such a customer, but seeing Ling Yue covered in designer brands and followed by three bag-carrying assistants, she was a bit skeptical.

Ling Yue couldn't be bothered to explain and walked over to the seating area to sit down, "Start packing and paying at the same time, try to be quick, I'm in a rush. Qu Shu, you go and keep an eye on the packing."

"Understood!" Qu Shu accepted the task with a glorious expression.

There was nothing more to say; the store manager grabbed the new clerk's hand, faced Ling Yue, and they both bowed together, saying: "Please wait a moment, we'll be right with you!"

Except for the styles other customers were currently looking at, all remaining gold was to be packed away first. Additionally, the door was closed, and one person was assigned to stand guard and inform subsequent customers that the gold was sold out for the day.

Staff members who didn't have customers came over to help. Even though the new employee didn't want to share the commission, she understood that if they delayed and caused the big spender dissatisfaction, it would be losing the watermelon to pick up the sesame seeds.

Luo Shanshan shuffled over to Ling Yue's side and whispered: "B-boss, some of the ring sizes look very small."

Ling Yue was playing on her phone and didn't even look up: "It doesn't matter, don't I have ten fingers?"

Whichever finger it fits, it fits; if it doesn't fit, I'll just display it on the stand in my walk-in closet. Anyway, I have so much jewelry that I can't wear it all. When I have nothing to do, I can pull it out and look at it; that golden shine is pleasing to the eye.

Every time a bag of gold was packed at the cashier, they would bring the POS machine over to swipe the card.

Ling Yue was bored, so she opened a gift box to try things on.

The gold-threaded butterfly bracelet featured hollow-carved butterflies that looked lifelike, with thin wings on both sides as if they were flapping. The style was novel and cute. It was 58g of pure gold, feeling heavy on her wrist, and its brilliant golden luster made her slender, fair wrist look even more delicate.

Paired with the "Phoenix Dancing in the Nine Heavens" ring, the finely carved phoenix seemed as if it were about to blink and come to life. From the tiny pupils to the texture of every feather, everything was vivid, like a pet on her finger.

The 100g traditional ancient-method large gold bracelet was about a finger wide. When she raised her hand, she felt something weighing down her wrist; if she held it up for too long, her hand would get sore.

The entire Forbidden City collection was antique and exquisite, with complex craftsmanship, everywhere exuding a label that said 'I am very expensive.'

Especially the palm-sized "Dragon Soaring and Drumming" pendant, a whole gold disc that could instantly raise two large bumps if slapped on someone's head.

Two gold Ruyi, each weighing about 180g. These little trinkets were quite exquisite and could be placed at home as ornaments.

There was only one 500g traditional ancient-method gold abacus in the store. The abacus beads made a crisp and pleasant sound when moved, which felt quite nice. The unit price was around 530,000. It could be grouped with the gold Ruyi as ornaments. Hey! Just put it by the door; it would be visible when coming and going, serving as a constant reminder not to forget to spend money.

Without the golden ornaments, the entire store instantly felt two shades darker.

The empty display counters looked as if they had been ransacked.

People were watching at the entrance, and the other customers in the store were stunned.

"We are customers too; she bought everything, so what are we supposed to buy?" A young couple holding hands, who were very busy and had specifically made time to pick out rings as their wedding date was approaching, had been intercepted and were currently looking very unhappy.

However, this was not something Ling Yue needed to worry about.

Instead, the store manager worried that the situation would escalate and displease Ling Yue, so she took the blame upon herself, "Because the store's inventory was insufficient, you two didn't have a better shopping experience. I sincerely apologize to you both here. Would it be convenient for you to add me on WeChat? When the goods arrive tomorrow, I will send you all the wedding ring styles to choose from, or if you want any specific style, you can send it to me, and I will try my best to transfer the goods for you. I'll give you the employee internal price, a 20% discount. How about that?"

The girl did have a style she wanted to buy, but the store didn't have it in stock, which was why she had been picking and choosing for a long time without being satisfied. Now, hearing the store manager say she could help transfer the desired style, she suddenly felt a glimmer of hope and immediately added the store manager's WeChat.

The other customers also received the 20% discount promise from the store manager; of course, this had nothing to do with Ling Yue.

The clerks squeezed and squeezed, and in the end, they still packed 43 bags.

Ling Yue's group had a total of five people, which meant only ten hands, so they couldn't carry them at all. They had to leave their address and have Chow Tai Fook deliver the goods to their door.

They walked out.

"Boss, where are we going next?" Qu Shu and Luo Shanshan, the two guardians, protected Ling Yue, one on the left and one on the right.

Wang Junqi and Master Qin followed behind, unable to help at all.

Ling Yue naturally hadn't bought enough yet.

Thinking that everything she bought before was winter clothing, and with true spring approaching, it was time for her closet to clear out and make way for spring clothes.

"There's a Miu Miu next door, let's go and take a look."

She turned and dived into the specialty store again.

Once inside.

"Good evening, Ms. Ling!"

It was the busiest time in the store, and four SAs stood together at the entrance, bowing thirty degrees in unison to greet Ling Yue.

She hadn't walked into the wrong place.

Ling Yue didn't remember ever coming to Miu Miu to buy anything, "You guys, know me?"

The SA wearing the store manager badge took a step forward, "You previously shopped at Chaumet and almost emptied the entire Chaumet counter. I was fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of you through the door and window at that time, but it was a pity I couldn't serve you."

So that was it.

Ling Yue smiled, "It's not too late now."

The store manager led the way, finding a moment to say to the staff: "A-Lei, hurry up and prepare the VIP room, light the aromatherapy. Fancy, Jingjing, you two prepare all the new arrivals."

"No need, preparing on the spot is too time-consuming. You follow me; whichever piece I point to, you take it." Ling Yue looked at the size chart, "Top M, bottom 44, shoes 37."

The store manager recorded Ling Yue's sizes on her phone. A group of eight people followed behind Ling Yue, grand and imposing, surrounding her like an emperor visiting the grassroots. This time, Luo Shanshan and Qu Shu didn't even have the chance to be the left and right guardians.

In the same way, she went on to visit a series of luxury counters like YSL, DIOR, etc., picking up a pile and paying directly to have them delivered.

The commotion here was not small, making many SA at other counters jealous.

There were those who actively came to promote their products; if Ling Yue really needed them, she would buy a little bit here and there.

Before she knew it, she had spent 30 million in one night, successfully advancing to the mall's top VVIP customer. The backend received the data and triggered the display screen outside the mall building, setting off electronic fireworks for half an hour and automatically starting a light show that illuminated the night sky.

Passersby who were confused:

"Has Hangzhou Mansion turned on its screen? We don't even see electronic fireworks during the Chinese New Year."

"Is some rich guy proposing?"

"Don't you know? Electronic fireworks and the light show turning on at the same time means someone has accumulated 50 million in spending at Hangzhou Mansion."

"How much? 50 million? I'm going to fight you rich people!"

"What did they buy to spend 50 million?"

"So rich, it would be great if some of it leaked through their fingers to me."

"I'd be satisfied if I had 10 million."

"..."

At the same time.

The mall manager received a call from the employee in charge of backend data: "What? The spending record within half a month has broken 50 million? Good, good, good, where is she? Tell the store to keep the VIP guest; I'm coming down immediately to receive her!"

He didn't even eat his meal. The manager poured a bag of mouthwash into his mouth, then adjusted his hairstyle in the mirror, confirmed his appearance was appropriate and his breath was fresh, and then ran downstairs with his phone.

The large group chats of the major luxury counters in Hangzhou Mall received a barrage of messages from the District Manager two minutes later, demanding they do everything possible to win over this top VVIP customer.

The SAs who were originally reserved and unwilling to initiate contact completely cast aside the idea of 'lowering their status by being proactive' and began scrambling to find Ling Yue.

Ling Yue was currently in the garage. She had shopped for too long, she was hungry, and her legs were sore. The group boarded the car in a grand procession. Destination: Restaurant.

This group of SAs who couldn't catch the action and the late-arriving mall manager were left behind the car.
