15: You're overthinking it.

...The next morning, Lei Jun was still in a hazy sleep when she was awakened by the ringing of her phone.

She fumbled to answer the call. It was the secretary of Tianqiong Technology's Board Members, informing her that the company would hold a board meeting that morning to discuss important matters.

Lei Jun rubbed her sleepy eyes, yawned, and felt a wave of impatience.

She just wanted to be a quiet minor shareholder who received dividends and had no interest in company management or decision-making in meetings.

"I won't be attending the meeting..."

"You can decide among yourselves. Just bring me any documents that need signing later."

The secretary on the other end was visibly He paused for a moment, then quickly responded: "Understood, Director Lei. I will convey your message to Bai Zhantang and the others."

After hanging up, the secretary immediately reported the situation to Bai Zhantang.

Bai Zhantang put down the phone, smiled at the other three Board Members in the conference room, and said with a somewhat complex tone: "It seems our Director Lei is truly uninterested in the company's management and decision-making power."

The other three Board Members began to discuss.

"Perhaps it's not disinterest, but rather that she looks down on it?" Zhang Long mused, "Given the energy and financial resources she has displayed, our Tianqiong Technology's small scale might truly not catch her eye."

"Becoming a Board Member of our company might just be a casual move on her part, or have a deeper meaning; rather, it is our honor," Zhao Hu echoed.

Qin Zhenhua nodded vigorously, also deeply convinced.

Zhao Hu suddenly clapped his hand: "Oh, right, wasn't it agreed that the patent licensing fee would be paid over five years?"

"I think it would be better to give Director Lei all sixty-seven million five hundred thousand at once. It would show our sincerity and make future cooperation easier to discuss."

Everyone else agreed, and the decision was quickly finalized... Meanwhile, Lei Jun had just finished playing a game when she heard her phone's SMS notification.

She picked it up and saw it was a bank deposit notification, with the amount clearly stating sixty-seven million five hundred thousand yuan exactly.

Lei Jun smiled happily.

"Very nice."

"These people are quite efficient; we can cooperate again if there's a chance in the future."

With such a large sum of money, she suddenly found gaming uninteresting, and the urge to shop stirred within her again.

She quickly tidied up and went straight out... At the same time, in the city's most high-end shopping center, at the Patek Philippe boutique, sales consultant Zhou Qinyao was frowning.

The sales pressure this month was immense; if she didn't get a big order soon, she might be fired.

Just as she was secretly anxious, the glass door of the store was pushed open, and a silver-haired girl walked in.

Zhou Qinyao subconsciously looked up, and was instantly so stunned that she forgot to breathe.

The girl's skin was as white as snow, her features as delicate as an elf's, and her long, silver-white hair flowed down, giving her an aloof and ethereal aura.

What shocked her even more was... the Bulgari Serpenti High Jewelry necklace around the other party's neck, estimated at nearly two million!

The Hermès Mini Kelly she carried was also made of rare leather, valued at nearly five hundred thousand!

!!!

Zhou Qinyao instantly understood.

This was a top-tier client with immense purchasing power!

Zhou Qinyao immediately perked up, putting on her most sincere and professional smile as she went to greet her.

"Hello, madam, welcome to Patek Philippe. How may I assist you?"

Lei Jun nodded slightly, glancing at the watches in the display case.

Zhou Qinyao quickly followed beside her, pointing to a ladies' watch inlaid with tiny diamonds and introducing it.

"This Calatrava series wristwatch features an 18K rose gold case, and the diamonds on the dial are all natural South African diamonds, priced at 580,000..."

Then she cautiously introduced several other popular models, afraid of the slightest oversight.

A sharp female voice suddenly came from nearby.

"Hey, what do you mean?"

"I've been standing here for ages and no one has paid attention to me, but as soon as she walks in, you all flock to her. Why is that?"

The speaker was a woman dressed in what were clearly imitation branded clothes. She stood with her hands on her hips, her eyes full of jealousy.

Zhou Qinyao maintained her smile, but her tone carried a hint of detachment: "I apologize, madam, we will arrange another sales associate to assist you."

After speaking, she turned back to continue introducing watches to Lei Jun, completely ignoring the other woman.

Lei Jun tried on two watches priced around five hundred thousand, looked at herself in the mirror, but was not quite satisfied, frowning slightly.

"Are there any higher-end ones? These feel a bit lacking."

Zhou Qinyao's heart skipped a beat.

She thinks a watch over five hundred thousand is low-end?

Then came overwhelming joy!

It seems she really encountered a true goddess today!

If this deal goes through, this month's sales target will be completely secure!

The woman next to them, seeing Lei Jun actually disdain a 580,000 watch as low-grade, couldn't help but sneer.

"What are you putting on airs for?"

"I think you're just here to browse, do you really think you can afford such an expensive watch?"

Lei Jun didn't even bother to lift her eyelids, completely ignoring the buzzing fly.

Zhou Qinyao quickly signaled another available sales associate to attend to the woman.

However, the other sales associates had long noticed that the woman's outfit was mostly imitation and that she had been picky for a long time without any genuine intention to buy, so they all dragged their feet, unwilling to go over.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, the woman became even more annoyed. She simply crossed her arms and stood aside, determined to see if this silver-haired girl could afford a million-level watch.

Zhou Qinyao took a deep breath and carefully took out three limited edition watches, each valued over a million, from the safe. Donning white gloves, she meticulously introduced their design, craftsmanship, and heritage to Lei Jun.

Lei Jun's gaze lingered for a moment on one of the watches, a complex function timepiece with a simple yet highly recognizable design, and she nodded: "This one."

"Alright, I'll process the order for you right away," Zhou Qinyao said, suppressing her inner excitement.

When Lei Jun took out her card and effortlessly completed the payment, the entire boutique fell silent for a moment.

All the sales associates' eyes were fixed on the small card and Lei Jun's calm face, filled with shock, envy, and disbelief.

Lei Jun paid and left.

A new young sales associate couldn't help but whisper to Zhou Qinyao: "Sister Yao, you don't seem surprised at all?"

Zhou Qinyao, unable to hide her excitement, explained: "Did you see her necklace and bag?"

"Together, they're almost two and a half million!"

"What's so strange about someone who can afford those buying a million-dollar watch?"

The young sales associate gasped, and the other sales associates, who recognized the items but were also shocked by the price, again let out low gasps of admiration.

When they looked at the woman who had caused a scene earlier, their gazes involuntarily carried a hint of disdain.

Being looked at with such contempt by so many people, the woman's face was now flushed crimson.

She felt extremely uncomfortable!

She couldn't believe that the girl, who looked barely adult, actually bought a million-dollar watch without batting an eye!

Intense jealousy and embarrassment made her almost want to curse, but as soon as she opened her mouth, reason instantly returned... Someone who could casually buy such a watch was definitely someone she couldn't afford to provoke!

She even began to fear that the other party might retaliate against her for her earlier offense.

Thinking of this, she broke out in a cold sweat, no longer caring about her pride or the sales associates' mockery. She grabbed her bag, lowered her head, and practically fled in a panic.

However, she had clearly overthought it.

Lei Jun didn't even spare her a thought. For Lei Jun, even looking at her again would be beneath Lei Jun...
