After coming out of the 4S dealership, Chu Wanchen and lifestyle companion Shao Wenxin went to a nearby Costco.
Chu Wanchen loved shopping at supermarkets. In the past, when the family had no money, they could only buy necessities at supermarkets. Now that they were rich, she naturally wanted to indulge her hobby.
This was the very first Costco store opened in mainland China, and it had only been open for a short time.
On the supermarket’s opening day, it was so crowded that people even had to line up outside.
Even though nearly a month had passed since the opening, the popularity remained unabated.
After signing up for a membership, the two pushed a shopping cart into the supermarket. Right at the entrance were the home appliance and jewelry sections. Neither was interested in these, so they walked further inside to find merchandise that ordinary supermarkets wouldn’t sell.
There was actually a tire section inside, where they would change the tires for you right after you bought them. Chu Wanchen even saw pavilions and outdoor storage sheds for sale.
Since there was dedicated staff at home to purchase daily necessities, the two did not linger in the household goods section.
They picked up a lot of snacks and desserts in the food section. Chu Wanchen remembered that both she and Shao Wenxin loved desserts, but the household chef, Auntie Chen, was not good at making them. She wondered if she should hire another pastry chef for the house.
By the time the two walked out of the supermarket carrying big and small bags, the Rolls-Royce with its new license plates was already waiting for them in the mall garage. The driver, Old Li, helped load everything into the car.
After finishing their supermarket run, the two decided to have lunch first before heading to the beauty salon.
For lunch, they went to a private kitchen restaurant recommended by the butler. This private restaurant specialized in Huaiyang cuisine, which was relatively niche and expensive. The taste of the food certainly lived up to its price, and both of them were very satisfied with the meal.
After lunch, the two went to the largest beauty salon in Shanghai.
No matter how old a woman is, she always loves beauty, and Shao Wenxin was no exception. Therefore, when they were discussing today’s itinerary last night, Shao Wenxin had directly decided to visit a beauty salon.
Upon arriving at the beauty salon, a staff member led them into a private room and introduced the store’s services to them.
This beauty salon truly deserved its title as the largest in Shanghai; it offered not only skincare services but also a full range of SPA massages.
Shao Wenxin directly selected the most expensive package. Because Chu Wanchen was still young, she only got an essential oil massage.
The skills of the masseuses in this store were indeed excellent. Chu Wanchen fell asleep comfortably during the massage, and by the time she woke up, Shao Wenxin had finished her treatments.
“No wonder your maternal aunt goes to the beauty salon every month. This skin looks a lot more delicate indeed.” The more Shao Wenxin looked at herself, the more beautiful she felt. Spending money really did make a difference.
Shao Wenxin was highly satisfied with the beauty salon’s service, so the two directly opened a membership card and deposited five million yuan into it, immediately upgrading to their highest-level Black Gold VIP status.
The beauty salon was a nationwide chain and had a branch in Qian City as well. Once they returned to Qian City, Shao Wenxin could still come regularly for maintenance.
Coming out of the beauty salon, the two had afternoon tea at a neighboring five-star hotel before heading home.
Back at home, the items they bought yesterday had all been delivered, and the butler had already had everything organized.
There were many rooms in the estate, and both Chu Wanchen and Shao Wenxin had their own exclusive walk-in closets.
After returning to their rooms to change into the loungewear they bought yesterday, they entered their respective walk-in closets to admire their “spoils of war.”
They hadn’t felt much while buying things yesterday, but looking at them today, it was truly a lot. The walk-in closet, which measured a full 200 square meters, was a quarter filled.
Even the jewelry boxes inside the closet were filled with various accessories, and the three Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar watches bought yesterday were also displayed here.
Chu Wanchen took out every piece of jewelry she liked to try on. The more she looked at them, the more she liked them, and she couldn’t bear to take any of them off.
Having finally finished looking at the clothes and jewelry, Chu Wanchen returned to her room to unbox the phone she bought yesterday. Her current phone was one that her mom had passed down to her previously; it had been used for several years, and it would lag to the point of freezing just by opening QQ.
Now, switching to the latest iPhone model, the smooth interface moved Chu Wanchen almost to tears. She finally didn’t have to struggle with that frustratingly slow brick of a phone anymore.
Chu Wanchen quickly downloaded her frequently used apps and a few games she often played. When she was in school, her family managed her strictly and didn’t let her play games. It was rare to have a summer vacation where she didn’t have to do homework, and she had just changed to a new phone.
Chu Wanchen naturally wanted to relax properly. Opening Honor of Kings, she paid for the skins she used to like but couldn’t afford one by one. In no time, she reached VIP10.
Except for the limited-time skins, Chu Wanchen bought all the other skins currently on sale.
Although her gameplay wasn’t that great, her skins absolutely had to be the best-looking.
Exiting Honor of Kings, she opened Genshin Impact. Chu Wanchen topped up ten 648-yuan packs in a row, determined to force the C6 Hydro Archon home.
The entire afternoon was spent in games. Chu Wanchen felt that spending money on in-game microtransactions made her even happier than spending money in reality.
Carrying a good mood, Chu Wanchen went downstairs for dinner.
After dinner, the mother and daughter planned tomorrow’s itinerary.
They had arrived in Shanghai yesterday at noon and spent the evening shopping non-stop.
Today was taken up by buying cars and visiting the beauty salon, and the two hadn’t visited any of Shanghai’s tourist attractions yet.
Since they rarely came to Shanghai, they had to visit a few tourist spots.
Chu Jianping still wouldn’t have time to accompany them tomorrow, so he just told the mother and daughter to find some attractions in the downtown area and enjoy themselves.
After finalizing the plan, the two returned to their respective rooms.
Chu Wanchen took a bath and lay on the bed, playing games on her soft and comfortable bed for a while.
Chu Wanchen sighed. How wonderful this kind of life is. I wonder what the system will reward me with tomorrow.
Thinking this way, Chu Wanchen drifted into a sweet and dark dreamland, accompanied by the soothing, sleep-inducing incense.
