The manager of the Chanel boutique took a few steps forward.
“Miss, is there anything I can help you with?”
Ming Mei glanced around the store and said, “Recommend a few skirts for me.”
The Chanel manager smiled. “Miss, please take a look over here. These are all our seasonal new arrivals for this month. We have high-waisted A-line skirts, color-blocked skirts, and other styles. These new designs only have fitting samples available in the store. You can try them on, and if you’re satisfied, our main boutique in Shanghai can arrange home delivery directly!”
Ming Mei nodded and scanned the selection before speaking.
“I’d like to try on these short skirts.”
The Chanel manager bent down to take the skirts off the display and smiled.
“Certainly. Please wait a moment.”
Ming Mei tried them on in the fitting room. She thought they looked pretty good, so she decided to buy all of them.
After leaving the fitting room, she returned the sample garments to the Chanel manager and said, “Pack one of each of these for me. I’d also like to look at some tops and dresses.”
The same scene that had unfolded at the Gucci boutique played out all over again at Chanel.
She spent another three million yuan or so and received thirty points.
What a satisfying shopping trip!
After completing the transaction, the Chanel manager smiled and bowed slightly toward Ming Mei.
“Miss Ming, would you be interested in getting a membership card? Customers who spend more than 500,000 yuan in a single transaction at our store have the privilege of priority enrollment in our nationwide membership program!”
Ming Mei thought about it. Another expense meant another opportunity to earn points.
A smile appeared on her face as well.
“Sure.”
After getting her Chanel membership card, Ming Mei went to have her hair done and her nails manicured. She also picked out several sets of sleepwear and underwear.
By now, all the brand-name boutiques in Yida Plaza knew that an extraordinarily wealthy customer was on a shopping spree that day. Every store was keeping an eye out for Ming Mei’s appearance.
She continued shopping until a little after five in the afternoon, when the stores began closing for the day. Only then did she reluctantly leave the mall.
Shopping was so much faster when you had money. There was no need to agonize over which of two outfits to buy, nor did she have to worry about whether a particular top would match the other pants in her wardrobe.
She could simply buy everything and take it home.
Why did people suffer from indecisiveness when shopping?
Wasn’t it because they didn’t have enough money?
Did you really think rich people were as happy as you imagined?
No. The happiness of the wealthy was beyond your imagination.
Ming Mei checked the time. She wasn’t hungry yet, and most automobile dealerships were open until around six-thirty during the summer and autumn seasons. She still had more than an hour—plenty of time to buy a car.
Following the navigation app, Ming Mei randomly selected a nearby dealership. She intended to buy a car for everyday transportation first.
As for car brands, she only knew a handful, and she couldn’t even recognize all the logos. But that didn’t stop her from appreciating cars with beautiful designs.
In her previous life, when she’d bought a car, she’d asked a friend who knew cars to help her compare countless options. She’d fallen in love with a particular model, only to discover that it guzzled fuel and had poor build quality.
In this life, she didn’t have to worry about money. If she liked how a car looked, she could simply buy it.
Even if it served only as a display piece, looking at something beautiful was enough to make her happy!
There was one more thing. After buying a car, she’d need to hire a driver.
That might be a little difficult to arrange. Perhaps she should ask the housekeeper when she got home.
Just then, a ding-dong sounded inside her mind.
[Congratulations, Host! You have achieved the accomplishment “Spend More Than 10 Million Yuan at a Single Shopping Mall” and unlocked the hidden achievement “Become an Insurmountable Mountain in the Eyes of More Than Three Luxury Brand Store Managers”!

At the same time, at Huacheng Mingdi…
The housekeeper was organizing the bags delivered by the Gucci boutique and the watches from Patek Philippe.
The villa came with a dedicated jewelry storage room, equipped with specialized watch cabinets, display stands, and dust covers.
Both the watches and the bags needed to be stored carefully. Watches couldn’t be allowed to accumulate dust and required regular cleaning. The leather on the bags couldn’t get wet or come into contact with oil, and they needed to be wiped down regularly with specialized Gucci leather-cleaning solution to keep them looking brand-new.
The housekeeper had just finished organizing the bags when someone rang the villa’s doorbell.
He checked the security monitor beside the entrance. Standing outside was a foreign man with blond hair, blue eyes, and a prominent nose.
The housekeeper was puzzled.
He was a private housekeeper trained by Huacheng Real Estate, and one of the things he was required to memorize was the list of property owners within his assigned area.
He didn’t remember seeing this man on the list.
Without revealing his suspicions, he discreetly pressed the alarm device in his pocket. If the alarm wasn’t canceled within half an hour, it would automatically notify the police and report the location.
The housekeeper stepped outside the villa and opened the gate. Smiling, he asked in English, “Hello. May I ask who you are?”
Private housekeepers earned astonishing salaries, and their professional capabilities were equally impressive.
He held certifications in scuba diving, skydiving, personal fitness training, and nutrition. His English was also good enough to communicate fluently with native speakers over extended periods.
“Hello, my name is Max.”
To the housekeeper’s surprise, the foreign man spoke fluent Mandarin.
“May I ask whether this is Miss Ming Mei’s residence?”
The housekeeper regarded him with some caution, though his smile remained unchanged.
“Yes, this is Miss Ming’s residence. I’m her housekeeper. May I ask what brings you here, Mr. Max?”
Max wore a professionally polite smile and raised his hand. Only then did the housekeeper notice the document he was holding, which looked like a purchase receipt.
“Hello, Mr. Housekeeper. I’m the delivery manager from the Lamborghini flagship store in Shanghai. Miss Ming previously ordered a Lamborghini Veneno from us. We’ve delivered the vehicle to the address she provided, and according to her instructions, we’re supposed to park it in the underground garage. Could you please sign for the delivery?”
The housekeeper accepted the receipt and checked the order details. Everything appeared to be in order, and the seal also seemed genuine.
He looked up and smiled.
“Please wait a moment, Mr. Max. I need to call my employer to confirm this.”
Max maintained his professional smile.
“Of course.”
A few minutes later, the housekeeper returned and smiled apologetically.
“Sorry to have kept you waiting, Mr. Max. You can leave the car at the entrance. I’ll personally drive it into the underground garage.”
Max smiled politely.
“Certainly, Mr. Housekeeper.”
With that, he stepped aside and waved his hand.
In the distance, a small transport truck approached.
The housekeeper was tempted to ask whether the truck had the proper permits to be on the road. However, considering that Lamborghini was such a prestigious brand, he decided they probably wouldn’t break the law and kept his mouth shut.
The truck stopped steadily in front of the villa. Four men wearing work uniforms climbed down. After speaking briefly into their walkie-talkies, they opened the rear doors of the small truck.
Four mechanical arms emerged, carrying a sports car as they carefully lowered it in front of the villa.
The housekeeper walked around the vehicle once. After confirming that everything appeared to be in order, he saw Max and his team off.
Then he climbed into the car and slowly started the Lamborghini Veneno.
The housekeeper was incredibly excited.
He wasn’t short of money himself, but a sports car in the Lamborghini Veneno’s class was still something he could normally only admire from a distance.
And now, he actually had the chance to drive one!
Sports cars—the romance of men.
The moment he started the engine, excitement surged through him.
Oh, that damn force pushing you back into your seat!
This feeling was absolutely, ridiculously addictive.
The housekeeper drove the car into the underground garage. After parking it, he reluctantly ran his hand over the car door, as though bidding a lingering farewell to a beloved lover.
