Chapter 18 I'm so sorry~ Mom's here!

The Chaumet store had almost no clearance stock sitting in the warehouse; there were only popular items that people fought over.

But today, as long as it was in stock, regardless of whether it was a hot item or not, everything was prioritized for Ms. Ling!

Ling Yue sat leisurely in the VIP room, enjoying the warm air while watching Cora try on high jewelry display pieces for her.

All one could say was that high jewelry was high jewelry after all; even if they were just display pieces, they were gorgeously brilliant, dazzling, and huge!

Having just been reminded by the Deputy Store Manager, Cora remembered something very important. She asked Ling Yue, "Ms. Ling, in about a month, Chaumet will be holding a high jewelry exhibition in Hangzhou. At that time, there will be museum replicas and top-tier high jewelry for sale on-site. If you're interested, I can apply immediately to prepare an invitation for you?"

"Sure!" Ling Yue had only seen exhibitions on TV and quite wanted to go and see the world.

Cora had also mentioned that the museum replicas were very expensive, which was perfect for spending some money.

Cora's smile deepened as she took out her phone and gave it a little wave. "Then, may I add you on WeChat?"

"Of course." Ling Yue brought up her QR code.

Outside the VIP room, the SAs were incredibly busy packing goods, inspecting items, and scanning codes.

The SAs from the neighboring luxury counters saw this and were green with envy!

No one lacked small customers, and one could never have too many big or high-spending clients. However, they were luxury brands after all, so there was no need to lower themselves to curry favor. Moreover, there were other customers in their stores, so they couldn't leave for the moment.

The manager of the Chanel counter next to Chaumet was exceptionally clever. As soon as she saw the Chaumet SAs moving goods directly from the warehouse to the front desk for scanning, she felt that the customer who had just entered the store was extraordinary.

The manager immediately checked the reservation status of her own store's VIP rooms and found that one of them happened to be free for three hours.

With a serious expression, she instructed an employee who wasn't currently serving customers, "Xiaoxiao, since you're free, go and tidy up VIP Room 3."

"Lucas, keep an eye on things at Chaumet next door. Call me as soon as the customer comes out to swipe her card."

Meanwhile, the manager herself moved most of the clothing items that hadn't been reserved for fittings into VIP Room 3.

Over at Chaumet, after more than an hour, the packing was finally finished.

Except for a few basic wedding bands, reserved items, and high jewelry, the warehouse was basically empty.

With a total expenditure of 25.37 million, Ling Yue placed her card on the counter.

Cora took the card and inserted it into the POS machine.

Beep—

A crisp sound rang out.

Amidst the anxious hearts and burning gazes of all the SAs in the store, the POS machine successfully spat out the receipt.

Even the Deputy Store Manager was a bit envious of Cora, thinking to himself whether this new employee was blessed with what fishermen often call a "newbie's luck period." How long had she been here, and she had already landed a major client with a 26-million-yuan order?

Although the commission would be split, the client resource was definitely hers now.

This girl also knew how to handle social nuances; it seemed she could talk to the store manager and guarantee she'd pass her probation period.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

[Lucky Draw Chances: 4]

In the end, over a hundred bags were packed.

They were transported by five SAs and several security guards.

The trunk was full, and some items still couldn't fit.

"Ms. Ling, where should we put the rest of these?" Helen stood by the car, debating which back seat to place them on.

Ling Yue said quite casually, "Just put them wherever there's space."

Helen was speechless; the customer could say that, but she couldn't just do it!

Master Qin came over to help fold down the seats.

Helen then carefully placed the remaining shopping bags on top of the seats.

The scene was quite grand.

It attracted countless onlookers and gazes all along the way.

"Holy crap, that's inhumanly wealthy!"

"That's Chaumet, Chaumet! How can she buy it like she's buying cabbage?"

"Tsk tsk, an Alphard. Another young lady from a rich family."

"Comparing yourself to others will only drive you crazy, and comparing your things to others' will make you want to throw them away."

"..."

[resentment value: 92%]

[resentment value: 94%]

[...]

[resentment value: 100]

[Lucky Draw Chances: 5]

[resentment value: 37%]

Hmm?

Ling Yue blinked, confirming she hadn't misread it.

She was just buying things; who did she offend?

Could it be... resentment from those who hate the rich?

"Ms. Ling, all your items have been loaded into the car." Helen clapped her hands and stood to the side, slightly out of breath.

The sound of breathing nearby made Ling Yue's eyelashes flutter as she snapped out of it. "Thank you for your hard work."

She had her salary from last month that had just arrived yesterday, about ten thousand yuan. Ling Yue transferred it all to Cora. "Your service was good and made my shopping experience very pleasant. Here's a little tip for you to split among everyone."

The other staff members standing not far away also heard this.

They all stepped forward together and said in unison, "Thank you, Ms. Ling!"

Helen caught a glimpse of Cora's WeChat screen.

There were ten people in total, including the store SAs and security; that was exactly 1,000 each!

This was a windfall tip; one could never have too much, and no amount was too small.

"Ms. Ling, shall we head back to the hotel then?" Master Qin had overheard some of the onlookers' comments and learned that this carload of items was top-tier luxury jewelry!

He didn't dare drive around aimlessly with a car full of insanely expensive jewelry; he wished he could grow wings and fly both the car and the person back to the hotel.

Ling Yue hesitated. She had bought a car and jewelry today, but the clothes she had originally intended to buy were still nowhere to be seen.

Just as she was debating whether to go back first and return later, she saw Master Qin point across the street. "Hey, there's a police station over there. How about I wait for you at the entrance of the police station?"

That splash of navy blue gave Master Qin a complete sense of security.

Upon receiving Ling Yue's approval, Master Qin happily drove the car over.

Just as Ling Yue turned around, she saw a beautiful woman standing respectfully two steps away, smiling at her.

Their eyes met for only a second.

The beauty bowed slightly and gave a sincere invitation. "Hello, Ma'am. I am the manager of the Chanel counter. We just received several new cocktail dresses and some popular bags that would perfectly complement the jewelry you just purchased. If you're interested, please feel free to come to our store's VIP room."

Opportunity always favors those who are sincere and prepared.

Ling Yue wanted to buy clothes, and someone just happened to come and promote them to her; it was hard to say this wasn't fate.

Ling Yue glimpsed the name tag on the manager's chest. "Mia, is it?"

"That's me."

Ling Yue gave a polite, faint smile. "Please, lead the way."

"Of course, right this way!"

At this moment, the other luxury brand SAs, who claimed to be reserved, were almost scratching through the glass windows.

"Sucking up like that is so low-class!"

"Even if you told me to use such tactics, I would absolutely never do it."

"Dragging down the brand's image—and she's a manager, no less."

"Hey, hey, hey, I just heard that Ms. Ling spent nearly 26 million at Chaumet."

"How... how much?!"

"Damn, that's my entire year's sales volume..."

"And customers like this usually have a long-tail effect."

"Stop, stop, stop. Can we not boost others' morale while undermining our own? It's not like we don't have big clients."

While they claimed Mia was embarrassing luxury brands, in their hearts, they secretly hated themselves for not being able to move their legs or open their mouths earlier.

They could only watch helplessly as the "golden ingot" entered someone else's store.

Inside the VIP room.

Rows of clothes were displayed before her eyes, and popular bags that walk-in customers couldn't buy no matter how much they begged were all placed on the shelves of VIP Room 3.

Xiaoxiao brought warm water for Ling Yue to wash her hands and even prepared citrus-scented hand cream.

Lucas prepared disposable cotton socks to make it convenient for Ling Yue to try on shoes later.

Once upon a time, Ling Yue had to compare prices across three different stores even when buying clothes on Pinduoduo.

Occasionally, she would go to the mall to pick up some discounted clearance items, getting a whole outfit for a hundred yuan or so to make do.

Her favorite thing to do was buy summer clothes in winter and winter clothes in summer; they were all clearance items, so the prices were much cheaper.

Now, though, buying clothes just depended on what caught her eye.

Ling Yue sat on the soft sofa, her gaze sweeping across the shelves. She raised a hand and pointed, "This one, this one, this one, this one, and this whole row... pack them up."

That was about it; only these twenty-some pieces caught her eye.

Mia took the clothes down and held them in her arms. "Ms. Ling, please come this way to try them on."

Ling Yue sat lazily. "It's too much trouble, so I won't try them. Just get everything in size L for the clothes and size 37 for the shoes."

Mia had worked at Chanel for eight years and had developed a sharp eye. She carefully looked over Ling Yue's figure and concluded, "I think size 44 should fit you perfectly; it's a slightly smaller size within the L range."

"OK, go ahead."

To save time, Xiaoxiao first noted down the clothing sizes and went to the warehouse to get the stock and pack it.

Lucas opened the shoe boxes and placed them in front of Ling Yue for her to choose.

Ling Yue picked out over a dozen pairs.

Afterward, she bought over a dozen bags and some small accessories.

Altogether, it cost 2,099,100 yuan, which really wasn't expensive.

Ling Yue added Mia on WeChat and asked her to help carry the goods to the Alphard parked at the entrance of the police station.

After that, she went to Bosideng.

She bought a few coats and inner layers for daily wear.

It cost 27,000 yuan.

Since the spending for both orders wasn't high, Ling Yue didn't do any lucky draws.

[Balance: 50,190,050.1]

The car, including the front passenger seat, was stuffed full of things.

Such terrifying purchasing power.

Master Qin had truly seen the world today.

With so many things, and worried about items being lost during transport, Ling Yue sent a WeChat message to Housekeeper, requesting to drive directly to her room.

Housekeeper hurriedly asked her boss for permission to grant access.

Then, she waited at the door of the room.

The car arrived, and as soon as the door opened, a bag of down jackets fell out and hit the ground. Housekeeper rushed to pick it up, and when she looked up, she saw a carload of shopping bags about to burst out!

It was like the jumbo dumplings her bratty kid made—stuffed to the brim, they would burst open with a gentle squeeze once boiled.

She had been in the hotel industry for several years and had seen guests on shopping sprees.

But seeing a commercial van stuffed to the point of exploding was a first.

She forced her jaw shut, trying to make her expression look natural.

Now that the excitement had passed, Ling Yue also realized there were indeed quite a lot of things. There was no way she was moving them. Her gaze settled faintly on Housekeeper and Master Qin. "I've transferred 10,000 yuan to each of you. Could you please help me move these things into the walk-in closet on the second floor?"

The hotel didn't take a cut of tips, so this 10,000 was all hers!

"I'd be happy to be of service!" Housekeeper accepted the transfer, grabbed several large bags, and walked into the room.

Master Qin was a bit hesitant to accept.

But seeing that Housekeeper had accepted the payment so readily, he didn't hold back any longer. He thanked Ling Yue and accepted the money.

This money could cover two months of his family's expenses.

It was just moving some things; there was no easier job than this.

Housekeeper and Master Qin, one after the other, accepted the money and worked together to transport the bags to the second floor.

Housekeeper went from initial shock to numbness.

She knew Ling Yue was rich, but she didn't know she was this rich.

Chaumet and Chanel—she bought them by the pile!

Once everything was moved, Master Qin checked the entire car from top to bottom to ensure not a single item was left behind.

Ling Yue waved her hand and let them go.

Once they left, the world became completely quiet.

Ling Yue stood in the walk-in closet, spreading her arms wide, her smile gradually becoming manic. "Little babies~ Mommy didn't get a good look at you just now~ So sorry, Mommy's here!

Ah ha ha ha ha!"

With a pile of shopping bags before her, Ling Yue opened them one by one.

This set of entry-level aquamarine and diamond jewelry was really beautiful.

The style was simple and fresh, perfect for her~~~

This tiara was also nice; the leaves, each inlaid with tiny jewels, stretched out gracefully yet grandly.

Ah~ there were just too many things~

She could only tidy them up slowly.

Ling Yue put the elaborately crafted garments into dust bags and hung them in the less frequently used cabinets.

She took the daily wear out of their dust bags and hung them in the frequently used section.

There weren't enough display cabinets for bags in the walk-in closet, so she had to keep the bags in their packaging boxes and stack them in the area originally meant for quilts.

The shoes were all daily styles that Ling Yue had specifically chosen; she moved them all to the shoe rack by the door for easy access.

There were bamboo storage boxes on the vanity; Ling Yue took out the towels and put all the small Chanel accessories inside.

And there were still so many jewelry bags...

She just stuffed them wherever there was space in the walk-in closet.
