Chen Chuan and Yaoyao parted in the afternoon. He went to the third floor of Paradise Walk Shopping Mall to visit his cousin in the Nike store.
Ziyue came leaping and said with delight, “Brother. I have something magical to tell you. It’s really magical!”
“What?”
“I got promoted as the store manager! I’m the manager of this store!” Ziyue screamed with joy.
“Oh, really? How much is your salary?” Chen Chuan’s eyes swept over the store which was approximately 50 square meters. The store was not large, but the shoes were neatly arranged and displayed. It would be convenient to carry out renovation works in the store.
The new Nike models were arranged on each row of the shelves. Some young men and women came in to pick the shoes.
Ziyue excitedly said, “5,200 yuan! The job offers one meal per shift and two days off every weekend. My God, these benefits are excellent. The owner must be conscience-stricken. Oh, it seems that a new boss has taken over the store.”
“That’s good. Keep it up but don’t overwork. Make sure your studies are not affected. After all, education comes first,” said Chen Chuan.
“Brother, are you leaving? Are you heading home now?”
“Yeah. My break has almost come to an end. I’m just dropping by to see you before I leave.”
After that, the two of them spent some time chatting with each other. They even had a short video call with Ziyue’s parents who were in Haiqin City.
Ziyue said, “Brother, thank you for the new cell phone. Once I have enough savings, I’ll get you a big gift when I return home during Chinese New Year!”
After some time, Chen Chuan bid his cousin goodbye.
While strolling along the fifth floor, he saw an electronics store. He decided to buy some electrical appliances and place them in his own room in Jade Apartment.
“Sir, are you looking for a laser TV? This is Hisense’s latest 4K laser TV worth 99,998 yuan. Although it’s quite pricey, it comes with a 100-inch, ultra HD screen. It’s better than many other TVs out there. Experience it yourself… Eh? It’s you?” A woman in her uniform approached Chen Chuan and gently introduced the television to him. The tag in front of her chest read ‘supervisor’. She raised her head and gazed at Chen Chuan in surprise.
Chen Chuan gazed at her as well. She seemed familiar to him.
“Chen Chuan, what a coincidence. Are you planning to get a TV? You have… a house in Chongqing City, don’t you?” She asked, “I’ve removed my makeup, and is that why you can’t recognize me? I’m Fangfei.”
“That bride?” Chen Chuan could recognize her. “Oh, it’s you. You actually look much better without makeup, huh?”
Indeed, Fangfei was heavily made-up as a bride the other day in which her fresh and elegant look was not visible. Now that she only wore a little makeup, her appearance was pleasing to the eye.
Fangfei bore a faint resemblance to her cousin, Jinglan, but she looked more approachable and friendly.
“Are you planning to buy electronics? Is it for yourself or your relative?” asked Fangfei.
“Um, for my relative. I’ll get this new Laser TV then,” said Chen Chuan.
“Great. You have such a wealthy relative. For this kind of laser TV worth almost 100,000 yuan, it’s the first to be sold here. Thanks to you, my commission is going to be great this time. Where do you want the TV to be sent?” asked Fangfei.
“Jade Apartment…”
Chen Chuan told her his address and made payment.
[You have spent 99,998 yuan. You have earned double cashback totaling 199,996 yuan. The amount has been transferred to your account.]
After that, he bought an 80-inch OLED television which was sent to The Amethyst Residence. The OLED television model priced at 43,999 yuan was much cheaper.
Once Chen Chuan had finished buying, he received a cashback message. He chatted with Fangfei for a while before bidding her goodbye.
Before he left, Fangfei smilingly said, “I’ll probably head over to Haiqin for work sometime later since that’s where Hisense’s HQ is located. I may need to trouble you.”
“You’re always welcome. I’ll treat you to seafood when you come.”
Watching Chen Chuan leave, Fangfei took out her phone and sent a message to ‘Lanlan the Heroine’. [I just met your classmate in the shopping mall, and I managed to see him up close. He’s really handsome, and he has good manners too.]
Lanlan the Heroine: [Bride, aren’t you on your honeymoon? You’re still working, huh? Was he in Paradise Walk Shopping Mall?]
Fangfei: [Yeah. He came to buy two TVs for his relative. He actually has a relative here.]
Lanlan the Heroine: [He does? He didn’t tell me about it.]
…
Chen Chuan woke up in the morning on the fifth day of the month and took a shower. He changed into a new set of clothes. Carrying the erhu case, he went downstairs to have breakfast. Later, he walked to the garage and decided to drive his LC4500h. Once he opened the car door, he entered the car and started its engine. He drove it out of the garage and set Haiqin City as the location in the navigation system.
He felt comfortable being in the car seat. The interior filled with leather and suede was able to keep him warm all the time.
After the car was started, the engine sound could not be heard at all. All he could hear was the noise coming from the seat ventilation.
Despite being on a busy road in Chongqing City, everything happening outside the car did not seem to bother him. The hybrid system was operating in silence.
It was quiet. Very quiet.
The car stopped at a traffic light. Chen Chuan looked into the mirror to check his appearance because people in other cars around him were fixing their eyes on him.
There were even people taking pictures.
When he arrived at any small intersections, those private drivers and taxi drivers would always give way to him regardless.
The Mark Levinson audio system in the car had 13 speakers altogether. He increased the volume and drove in the morning sun while listening to pop music.
“Good morning, dear listeners. It’s DJ Little Jia right here on Chongqing 77188 FM… I’m going to play a wonderful foreign song entitled ‘Pure Little Girl’. This song revolves around the story of a boy and a girl who grew up together since young yet could not get together due to financial reasons. The boy listened to the girl’s parents and left the girl. With the talent for songwriting, the boy had become a singer later on. He came back to look for his childhood sweetheart, who had become a mother nevertheless. At that point, the boy finally realized that he had completely lost the girl he loved. Therefore, he wrote this song to commemorate their relationship, hoping that everyone will be able to find their true love.”
The female radio announcer livened up listeners who were up bright and early with her gentle voice.
Chen Chuan was fortunate to have such a luxury car worth millions along this 1,800-kilometer journey. Despite the heavy usage of carbon fiber, the car weighed nearly two tonnes altogether. This meant that the car could remain steady even at a speed of 170 miles per hour on a highway.
The Naples Yellow LC500 sports car never failed to be the scenic view whenever it reached a congested intersection. There were always people focusing on the sports car to take pictures of it.
Thus, Chen Chuan wore a pair of sunglasses to make himself look cool.
A taxi driver beside Chen Chuan’s car started a talk with him. Of course, there were also beautiful female drivers who flirted with him. For instance, a woman driving a Q5 had just asked him for his WeChat ID.
He passed by many scenic attractions along the way. In the evening, he arrived in the thriving city.
This is one of four places in China where jade was made. According to the timeline of the novel, Du Hao came to Yuqi Town of the city on the sixth to buy a few unique raw stones from a store called ‘Icy Jade House’ where he made a huge profit through raw jade.
Hence, Chen Chuan got ready to buy the stones the next morning to stop Du Hao from doing so. On the fifth, he stayed at a hotel upon arriving at the thriving city at night.
