380: Shopping
Sitting in the car, Lei Yue said excitedly, "You are just too amazing! You actually won seven hundred million dollars and even defeated the world gambling champion!"
Su Qing also nodded along, her face full of admiration. "Yes, Miss Lei Jun, you are simply incredible!"
Lei Jun smiled, thinking to herself: The God-level Gambling Skill truly lives up to its name; winning this money was practically effortless.
However, gambling is just a pastime; one cannot become addicted.
Still, earning 700 million dollars so easily feels wonderful!
Lei Ying maintained her usual cold expression and asked, "Miss, where are we going now?"
Lei Jun: "First, we'll stay at a hotel in Las Vegas for a night. Tomorrow we'll look around here, and the day after we'll head straight to the Supplier Summit venue."
Since they were already in Las Vegas, they might as well stay an extra day to soak in the atmosphere; there was no rush to head back anyway.
No one objected, and they took the car to a luxury hotel in Las Vegas.
After checking in, Lei Jun returned to her room, leaned back on the sofa, and checked her account balance on her phone; the seven hundred million dollars had already arrived.
She was very satisfied. This trip to Las Vegas had not only relaxed her mind but also won her so much money; it was truly a fruitful journey.
Tomorrow she could visit the shopping malls in Las Vegas to buy some things, which would serve as a perfect conclusion to this trip... Meanwhile, at the Caesars Palace Casino, John looked at Antonio's despondent state and felt quite helpless.
He said to Antonio, "Alright, don't be depressed anymore. A loss is a loss this time; don't mention this matter again in the future."
Antonio lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Boss, I'm sorry for causing you trouble. I really didn't expect her gambling skills to be so formidable; I was no match for her at all."
He still couldn't accept the fact that he had lost; it was a massive blow to him.
John patted his shoulder and said, "It's not your fault; the opponent was just too strong. Take a good rest from now on and don't think about this anymore."
He knew in his heart that Antonio had done his best; losing to Lei Jun wasn't his fault, but rather because Lei Jun's gambling skills were simply too heaven-defying.
The people in the casino were still discussing Lei Jun. Many were inquiring about her identity, wanting to know who this mysterious Asian girl really was.
Some said she was an Asian God of Gamblers, others said she was the daughter of some tycoon; regardless of the theory, it was shrouded in mystery... Early the next morning, sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the luxury Las Vegas hotel room, falling warmly onto the carpet.
After Lei Jun woke up and finished her simple morning routine, she took Lei Ying, Lei Yue, Su Qing, and Su Ya to the hotel restaurant for breakfast.
The restaurant was buffet-style, gathering delicacies from all over the world. Lei Jun didn't overthink it, picking a few light dishes to eat slowly... thinking to herself: Today I'll focus on shopping, pick out gifts for everyone, and also get something for myself as a memento of this Las Vegas trip.
Lei Yue, Su Qing, and Su Ya could hardly contain their excitement, discussing the brands available in the shopping center in low voices while they ate, their faces full of anticipation.
Lei Ying remained cold-faced, sitting quietly beside Lei Jun, her eyes vigilantly scanning the restaurant's surroundings. Even while eating breakfast, she didn't relax her protection of Lei Jun.
As a Bionic Human Bodyguard and a Special Service Consultant for Bureau 749, she was long accustomed to being constantly on guard.
After breakfast, the vehicle was already waiting at the hotel entrance.
The group took the car to Las Vegas's top shopping destination—The Crystals Shopping Center.
This place gathered major global luxury brands and was a shopping paradise for the wealthy. It was decorated like a palace, magnificent and resplendent, with every detail exuding high-end elegance.
Just walking into the shopping center, the overwhelming atmosphere of luxury made Su Qing and Su Ya gasp in spite of themselves.
Looking at the dazzling array of luxury stores on both sides, Su Qing whispered, "This place is too luxurious; I've only seen many of these brands in magazines."
Su Ya also nodded, her eyes full of novelty, yet she didn't dare touch anything for fear of breaking it.
Lei Jun's expression was calm, long accustomed to such luxurious scenes.
The group first walked into the Hermès store.
Seeing them, the clerk immediately stepped forward to receive them warmly, with a respectful and thorough attitude; after all, anyone who could afford to shop here was either wealthy or noble.
Lei Jun skipped the pleasantries and said directly to the clerk, "Bring out your latest women's Kelly bags, I want them in black and white. Also, get a crocodile skin belt and keep the size for her."
As she spoke, she pointed to Lei Ying.
The clerk quickly complied and soon brought over the bags and the belt. The black Kelly bag was made of top-tier crocodile leather with a delicate texture, exuding a low-key nobility that suited Lei Ying perfectly... The white Kelly bag was made of lambskin with a simple and elegant style, which Lei Jun planned to give to Lei Yue.
The crocodile skin belt was even more valuable, inlaid with tiny diamonds, low-key yet luxurious.
Looking at the belt, Lei Ying quickly said, "Miss, this is too precious. I don't need something this good."
Lei Jun handed the belt to her and said calmly, "Wear it; it can also be paired with formal wear normally."
Lei Ying couldn't say many polite words, so she could only keep it in her heart.
Lei Yue hugged the white Kelly bag. "Thank you, Miss! This bag is so beautiful, I love it!"
Coming out of Hermès, the group walked into the Van Cleef & Arpels store.
Lei Jun went straight to the point, asking the clerk to bring out four limited-edition Alhambra necklaces: two in carnelian and two in mother-of-pearl. Each was set with fine diamonds, exquisitely crafted and highly valuable.
"The two carnelian ones are for Su Qing and Su Ya, and Lei Ying and I will each have a mother-of-pearl one," Lei Jun said.
Su Qing and Su Ya took the necklaces, holding them carefully in their hands, too excited to speak.
With reddened eyes, Su Qing said, "Miss Lei Jun, this is too precious; we really cannot accept this."
They were just ordinary assistants. Usually, being able to follow Lei Jun and enjoy good food and drink was enough for them; they never expected to receive such expensive necklaces.
Lei Jun smiled. "Take them; you've earned it. You work hard helping me handle so many things."
She knew that Su Qing and Su Ya were meticulous and thorough, saving her a lot of trouble. Giving them expensive jewelry was a way of recognizing their work.
Afterward, Lei Jun took them to the Chanel Haute Couture section. She chose a black haute couture suit for Lei Ying, made of top-tier wool with a perfect cut that made her look even more capable... For Lei Yue, she chose a pink haute couture dress, with a fashionable style that suited her lively personality.
For Su Qing and Su Ya, she chose cream-colored professional suits, simple and elegant, suitable for daily work.
Each haute couture outfit was a limited edition, costing tens of thousands of dollars.
Lei Jun had won 700 million dollars and was in a very happy mood.
Following the principle of sharing the wealth with those present, she didn't feel any sting while spending.
