10: See the world

The latter immediately beamed with joy, quickly jogging to the cashier to swipe the card.

"Just swipe two million. I also need to buy a watch worth around five hundred thousand."

Jiang Yuan added another sentence, making the Saleswoman's smile even brighter.

"Understood, Mr. Jiang."

Soon after, the Saleswoman walked over holding the receipt printed by the POS machine. At the same time, the thoughtful Gu Xinyu considerately took the watch and carefully placed it on Jiang Yuan's wrist.

"Not bad. It really suits my style."

Jiang Yuan raised his wrist and looked at the Vacheron Constantin watch shimmering on his arm, a trace of satisfaction appearing in his eyes.

He then looked at Gu Xinyu and said in a relaxed tone, "Xinyu, go pick out a watch you like. That five hundred thousand is reserved for you."

(This part is a bit cringe; this kind of scene won't appear later, and it's hard to modify now... just consider it the arrogance of an ordinary person who suddenly got rich!)

Hearing this, Gu Xinyu was stunned. She was just about to refuse this sudden generous gift when Jiang Yuan continued, "Don't refuse. As my exclusive consultant, you need to look presentable. That way, when you run errands for me outside, it will look more impressive."

"Thank you, Brother Jiang."

A thousand words ultimately condensed into this simple and sincere expression of gratitude.

A warm current flowed through Gu Xinyu's heart. The watch on her wrist, which she had saved up for and bought for tens of thousands of yuan many years ago, was quite old and definitely due for a replacement.

Looking at the dazzling array of exquisite luxury watches, she felt momentarily overwhelmed and didn't know how to choose.

After all, strictly speaking, her monthly salary was at most twenty or thirty thousand yuan. While commissions might add significantly to that, her daily expenses were also high, compounded by the fact that she had a younger sister suffering from a severe illness who required long-term hospitalization, which was a huge expense.

Therefore, even though her salary was relatively high compared to many people, she still lived quite frugally. She tried to save money whenever possible, and even for this trip to Taian, she had only taken a second-class high-speed rail ticket.

Finally, under the professional and patient guidance of the Saleswoman, she chose an extremely minimalist black-and-white watch with a brown leather strap, priced at 523,000 yuan. Thanks to the Saleswoman's generous rounding down, the final price was exactly 500,000 yuan.

"Let's go. I just need to buy a pair of shoes now."

Jiang Yuan said contentedly, and then led Gu Xinyu out of the Vacheron Constantin store, watched by several sales staff whose gazes were filled with envy and even a hint of worship.

"That's wonderful, handsome and rich. It would be worth it just to spend a few nights with him..."

A Saleswoman watched Jiang Yuan's retreating figure and couldn't help but whisper, her tone full of admiration.

Another Saleswoman poured a bucket of cold water on the idea, stating soberly, "Stop dreaming. His female companion is much prettier than us. Didn't you hear him say it himself? She's only his consultant, not even his girlfriend yet."

"Sigh, young masters like that are not for us to dream about. Stop daydreaming. Let's think about what we should eat tonight instead."

"Let's all eat hotpot together. My treat tonight!"

The Saleswoman who sold Jiang Yuan the million-yuan watch suggested gleefully, clearly in high spirits because of the big sale today.

Finally, Jiang Yuan casually bought a pair of Nike sneakers in the shoe section, and then added a pair of outdoor "Big Yellow Boots" from a store that looked very high-end but whose name he couldn't recall.

He truly had very little interest in shopping malls, finding the whole experience tedious, so he decided to quickly end the shopping trip and left Wanda.

During this time, he also spent 160,000 yuan exceptionally generously to purchase two outfits for Gu Xinyu.

After all, Gu Xinyu had arrived in Taian too hastily, wearing only a single professional suit, which was very inconvenient for daily life.

Gu Xinyu had now changed into the Dior fashion that Jiang Yuan had selected for her.

A white dress with a shallow V-neck, tailored perfectly, flawlessly outlined her graceful figure.

If one didn't look closely, they wouldn't know, but upon inspection, one would be stunned to realize the richness of Gu Xinyu's figure—full above, a slender waist below, her fair collarbones elegantly displayed, paired with her long, graceful swan neck and a cool, mature beauty that was breathtaking.

The other outfit was a pure black sleeveless top paired with a white long skirt featuring black lace flowers. The clever combination perfectly highlighted her cold and noble temperament. (Writing shopping scenes for clothes is too difficult, because all my clothes are bought by my girlfriend; I basically wear whatever she puts together, and I rarely go shopping...)

Having changed into new clothes, Gu Xinyu was visibly refreshed and much more confident than when she was wearing her professional suit.

Every movement she made exuded an unhurried elegance, as if she were a true daughter of a wealthy family.

However, she was still lacking some finishing touches in terms of jewelry, but Gu Xinyu adamantly refused to let Jiang Yuan buy her anything else. In the end, Jiang Yuan had no choice but to give up.

The shopping trip finally concluded. Both Jiang Yuan and Gu Xinyu were completely refreshed, radiating a brilliance that was entirely different from before, from head to toe.

As a result of this series of expenditures, Jiang Yuan's bank savings dropped to 97,857,509 yuan, falling below the 100 million mark again.

However, Jiang Yuan was not flustered by this in the slightest.

He knew well that this was merely the starting point of his new journey, a small goal, and that the future held infinite possibilities.

He had fantasized countless times about what he would do and how he would spend money once he had it.

Yet now, he felt rather dull; spending money for just a little while had already made him feel very tired.

As for places like bars and KTVs, he had zero interest. He had gone too many times with friends before, and he always felt that the atmosphere there could only be tolerated by drinking.

After all, he really couldn't bring himself to approach the Girls in those places; he always felt unable to establish genuine interest or connection.

His two previous girlfriends were both good students from university, and they only broke up because of incompatible personalities.

However, he rather liked women of Gu Xinyu's caliber—those who were obviously outstanding and high-quality. If... 'Forget it, forget it. I'll take it one step at a time. Right now, my primary goal is to see the world. My first grand objective is to drive around the entire country!'

Jiang Yuan shook his head, pondering silently to himself. This kind of self-talk left Gu Xinyu standing nearby feeling rather puzzled, unable to understand why he had suddenly become immersed in his own world.
