The salesperson had a flash of inspiration, thinking of sothing that might et the custor’s demands.
"Yes, yes, we have it! Please wait a mont!"
The salesperson dashed into the manager’s office like a whirlwind.
"Manager, we have a big client! They want unique jewelry, sothing with a sense of age, quite substantial. Don’t we have a set..."
The manager didn’t wait for her to finish, asking first, "What kind of custor? A woman? How old? What’s her na?"
The salesperson was montarily speechless. "A female tycoon! Probably in her early thirties. She even brought a secretary! I didn’t ask for her na."
Early thirties?
Then it probably isn’t An Yan.
However, with the makeup techniques of this era being comparable to plastic surgery, the manager couldn’t afford to be careless. He quickly stood up and personally went to the reception room.
He scrutinized the female tycoon from all angles, repeatedly. He even took out his phone, pretending to check a text ssage, but he was actually pulling up the photo sent by his boss and carefully comparing it with the female tycoon.
Clearly, they were two different people!
Nevertheless, to be safe, he suppressed his inner joy and asked, "Madam, do you have a mbership card? Our store offers discounts for mbers."
No sooner had the manager spoken than the female tycoon’s face darkened.
"We’re not buying. Let’s go."
The manager panicked. "Madam, where did our service fall short?"
An Yan lifted her chin, her gaze disdainful. "If the items in your shop are genuine, those with so age, the truly valuable ones, would be treasures worthy of an auction house."
"Instead of considering raising the price, you’re actually prepared to give a discount?"
"That just shows your items aren’t genuine."
The manager understood. "It’s a misunderstanding, Madam. We don’t discount these items. I only asked about the mbership card thinking that if you needed so mid to low-range gifts in the future, you could use the discount card. Plus, you could also give the discount card to a friend, which is why I ntioned it."
"Really?"
"Absolutely true!"
The manager was now completely certain that this female tycoon had no connection to the person his superiors had ntioned. Only then did he feel confident enough to bring out one of the store’s treasured pieces.
An Yan’s eyes lit up slightly.
She hadn’t expected to find what she was looking for so easily.
"Not bad. You finally have sothing interesting. Do you have more like this?"
The manager bowed. "Madam, this single piece alone is priced at ten million..."
"Are you afraid I don’t have the money?" An Yan declared, raising her hand grandly.
Wen Ya imdiately handed over a gold bank card.
The manager’s smile blood. "Not at all, not at all! Since you insist, Madam, I’ll bring out the entire series."
"Mm!"
They exchanged money for goods.
The manager personally saw the female tycoon and her young secretary off as they climbed into their Ferrari convertible and drove away.
「In the afternoon.」
Two more custors arrived at the door: a beautiful young girl with fair skin and delicate features, dressed in a hoodie and jeans, accompanied by a valiant-looking female bodyguard.
The manager’s eyes lit up instantly.
This was An Yan, the one ntioned by the higher-ups!
The manager enthusiastically led her into the VIP reception room and presented the store’s products with the highest profit margins.
An Yan rely swept a glance over them and instantly knew how exorbitantly these items were marked up. A simple Shi Family necklace, priced at most one hundred thousand in other stores, was listed for a million here!
They were really treating her like a sucker!
However, An Yan didn’t say much, rely exuding an air of imnse wealth. She showed interest in everything the store manager recomnded, trying on one piece after another.
In the end, even after using Bai Xiaoyun’s discount card, An Yan still spent over twenty million!
After escorting her out, the store manager delightedly reported the matter to his superior, Qin Song.
However, Qin Song scolded him. "Didn’t I tell you to recomnd the most expensive items to her?"
"I did, but she didn’t buy them!"
The most expensive jewelry in the store were usually custom designer pieces with no price cap. As long as the story behind them was compelling, they could be sold for any amount.
"Do you know how much Xinshi Realm sold to her for? Over fifty million! You’re both store managers, so why can’t you perform as well as the one at Xinshi Realm?"
Qin Song berated the store manager until he was utterly subservient, yet he didn’t dare utter a single word of rebuttal. It wasn’t just because Qin Song was his direct superior, but also because Qin Song had an incredibly keen eye. He could discern the authenticity of any jewel at a glance. With such a skill, no matter how ordinary Qin Song’s appearance was, the employees wouldn’t dare harbor any disrespect toward him.
Just as he was nodding submissively, promising to do better, several people in work uniforms pushed open the door and entered. "Soone has reported your store for price gouging! We are now going to conduct a price audit. All staff, please put down your work and line up against the wall..."
「An Corporation.」
Bai Xiaoyun sat in her spacious and bright office, delightedly reading the ssage forwarded by her manager.
That little country bumpkin, An Yan, after getting her hands on An Zhongbo’s black card, had gone on a wild shopping spree.
Her spending in just these two stores alone had already reached seventy million!
Indeed a country bumpkin! Once she had money, all she knew was to buy, buy, buy!
She was reveling in her delight when her phone suddenly rang. It was An Yan.
Bai Xiaoyun, in high spirits, swiped to answer.
"The prices at those two jewelry stores you recomnded are too high. I’ve already reported them," An Yan stated.
Bai Xiaoyun was shocked and quickly tried to persuade her, "Yanyan, jewelry is naturally expensive. Even the sa gemstone can vary in price due to differences in cutting, craftsmanship, and origin. If you don’t understand, don’t report them recklessly. You’ll make a fool of yourself."
An Yan’s voice was cold and indifferent. "Oh, I bought branded products, so the price discrepancies you ntioned don’t apply. The relevant authorities have already confird that the problem lies with the stores."
"They also said that for the products we bought from these two stores, we can demand a refund of the purchase price plus three tis that amount in compensation!"
"I’m currently negotiating with their manager. You’ve bought many items from them too, haven’t you? Hurry and bring them all. Let’s demand they pay up..."
Bai Xiaoyun felt as if she’d been struck by lightning, her words stumbling. "Yanyan, well, you know, don’t—um, just wait a minute, I have a bad signal... Hello? Hello?..."
After hanging up, Bai Xiaoyun imdiately turned off her phone.
She didn’t want to hear another word from An Yan.
Damn that An Yan!
She’d thought An Yan was just a naive country girl, but she turned out to be a tough nut to crack!
This debacle had cost her over two hundred million!
She even started to suspect: did An Yan already know these two stores belonged to her?
She frantically contacted Qin Song. "No matter who asks or investigates, you absolutely cannot reveal any connection between us! Understand?"
Qin Song quickly assured her, "Don’t worry, Boss. I won’t say a thing."
Everyone in the store thought he was the owner, but in reality, he was just Bai Xiaoyun’s lackey. He had to do whatever Bai Xiaoyun told him. He had no choice; his daughter was seriously ill and required exorbitant monthly dical expenses. Bai Xiaoyun covered these high dical costs, and he, in turn, was at her complete disposal.
Fortunately, he was acquainted with staff from the relevant departnts. In the end, they attributed the incident to a pricing error by a data entry clerk, and the matter was suppressed.
Qin Song walked to the side of the road and pulled out his electric scooter.
Just as he sat down, sothing felt wrong.
