79: They don't have time to play with these people.

What should I buy?

Lei Jun pondered.

Now, things costing hundreds of thousands or even millions seemed a bit unexciting.

Since getting the tycoon system, her spending habits and thresholds had been raised infinitely.

Suddenly, she had a great idea.

Why not set a small goal: from now on, the accessories she wore must start at the ten-million-yuan level at the very least!

Once she got used to that, she would slowly phase out the ten-million-level items and replace them all with ones worth over a hundred million!

This thought made her excited.

Acting as soon as she thought of it, she immediately began searching on her phone to see where in Dragon City sold jewelry at the ten-million-yuan level.

Lei Ying and Lei Yue also assisted with the search.

However, after searching for a while, Lei Jun shook her head in disappointment.

Dragon City was still a bit low-tier; there were no such places.

Then she looked expectantly at Lei Ying and Lei Yue.

They also shook their heads.

Lei Jun felt a bit helpless.

It seemed she would have to go to Shanghai again.

She checked information about Shanghai on her phone, and sure enough, several top-tier jewelry stores and auction houses had jewelry that met her requirements.

Lei Jun immediately had Lei Yue book three first-class tickets for the earliest flight to Shanghai.

On the way to the airport, she called her exclusive housekeeper, Su Qing.

"Su Qing, I'm heading to Shanghai on short notice. I probably won't be back for lunch or dinner today. Please take care of Pet Name for me; remember to feed it on time."

After saying that, she directly transferred one thousand yuan to Su Qing via WeChat.

"This is for your trouble."

On the other end of the phone, Su Qing was stunned when she saw the transfer notification.

Miss Lei was far too generous—giving a thousand yuan just for feeding a cat.

Su Qing didn't dare take it at first, but Lei Jun was firm.

Only then did she accept the thousand yuan.

After accepting it, she quickly replied.

"Miss Lei, you're too kind!"

"I guarantee the mission will be accomplished. I'll take perfect care of Pet Name. Please go ahead with your business!"

For her, this thousand yuan was a significant amount of extra income, making her full of energy.

Lei Jun, Lei Ying, and Lei Yue soon arrived in Shanghai.

Checking the time, it was nearly noon.

Lei Jun thought of Su Man and Lin Wei, whom she had met in Shanghai. She hadn't seen them since their last parting, so it was the perfect time to invite them out for a meal.

She chose a high-end Indian restaurant that was highly rated on the food charts, with an average cost per person exceeding two thousand yuan.

The restaurant's atmosphere was very exotic. They ordered signature dishes like butter chicken, grilled lamb chops, spicy curry shrimp, and various types of naan.

The flavors were rich and authentic, with the spices used perfectly. The five of them spent nearly ten thousand yuan on this meal.

During the meal, Su Man and Lin Wei curiously asked Lei Jun what brought her to Shanghai this time and if there was anything they could help with.

Lei Jun didn't hide anything and said directly, "It's nothing much. I just want to find a jewelry store and buy a piece of jewelry at the ten-million-yuan level. If you're interested, want to come along?"

As soon as she said this, Su Man and Lin Wei's eyes widened instantly, their hearts suffering a massive shock.

Ten-million-level jewelry?

Su Man felt her heart skip a beat.

She knew Lei Jun was rich, but she didn't expect her to be such a Godly Tycoon!

Spending over ten million on just one piece of jewelry?

This was simply beyond her imagination.

Lin Wei was equally shocked.

The life of the wealthy was truly unimaginable.

Extravagant, a Godly Tycoon!

How could there be such a Godly Tycoon friend!

The two said excitedly.

"We're interested! Very interested! We'll go with you!"

How could they miss the experience of witnessing a ten-million-yuan jewelry transaction with their own eyes?

Even though they weren't the ones buying it, it was their friend who was.

What a great topic for conversation; it would bring so much prestige to talk about it!

Lei Jun agreed with a smile. After finishing the meal, she led the group straight to a well-known high-end jewelry store in Shanghai.

As soon as she entered, she said to the salesperson behind the counter, "Please introduce your jewelry at the ten-million-yuan level."

However, the saleswomen only gave them a brief glance and showed no reaction at all. Instead, they turned their gaze elsewhere as if they hadn't heard a thing.

They were quickly calculating.

These women... didn't look like their target customers.

They sized up Lei Jun. Although she was breathtakingly beautiful, her casual attire was too relaxed, and they didn't see any designer logos.

Her hair was loosely hanging down, and she wore no makeup.

Then they looked at Lei Ying and Lei Yue; these two looked more like followers, dressed plainly with cold and tough temperaments, not at all like young ladies from wealthy families.

Finally, their gaze swept over the obviously nervous and ill-at-ease Su Man and Lin Wei. These two had dressed up a bit, but they clearly had a student vibe. Besides, in their current nervous state, how could they be regulars at such a top-tier jewelry store?

They were most likely internet celebrities or ordinary girls who came here just to take photos and use the store as a background.

Their spending power was extremely low; it was a pure waste of time.

They had no time to play with these people.

They concluded that this was a group of fake socialites, not worth wasting their precious time and energy on.

Thus, they chose to completely ignore Lei Jun and the others, pretending to organize the counter, not even offering a professional fake smile.

Seeing the saleswomen's dismissive attitudes, a surge of anger instantly rose within Lei Jun.

What kind of attitude is this!

I'm here to spend money, not to look at your sour faces!

She was about to snap back right then and there.

But then she thought better of it. It wasn't worth getting angry at these snobs. Anyway, Shanghai didn't have just this one jewelry store; she could just go to another one and avoid ruining her good mood for shopping.

Just as she turned to leave, a timid figure walked over quickly. It was a young girl who looked like she had graduated not long ago.

She was wearing the store's uniform, with her collar buttoned tight and cuffs impeccably neat, but her eyes still held a hint of student-like innocence and an almost imperceptible nervousness.

Her name was Lin Xiao. She had graduated from university three months ago and had been at this jewelry store for nearly two months.

She had lost her father when she was young. Her mother pushed a small cart and set up a stall in the wet market, working from dawn till dusk to save money to put her through university.

Her mother always told her, "Xiao, don't judge a book by its cover. Don't look down on anyone; you can't judge people by their appearance."

She always kept these words in her heart, doing her best no matter what kind of customer she received.

But the cheapest jewelry in the store cost at least a hundred thousand yuan. She had been there for nearly two months and hadn't made a single sale.

The store manager had already told her last week that if she didn't sell a single item this month, she would have to be let go.

Her colleagues always mocked her for being foolish, saying she didn't know how to judge a customer's attire or the brand of their bag, and that she only took on customers with no purchasing power, which was a pure waste of time.

And she would only receive the customers they had screened out and deemed to have no purchasing power.

Therefore, she still hadn't made a single sale.

These past few days, she had been bordering on despair, even starting to doubt if what her mother taught her was wrong.

Should she really be like her colleagues, only focusing on customers decked out in gold and silver?

But when she saw Lei Jun's group being neglected, the kindness she had been taught since childhood triumphed over her hesitation.

Whatever. Even if I get fired, I can't be like them!
