The second floor was the cosmetics section. Although the spirit spring water meant Nan Mo did not really need skincare products, the daily ritual of applying them still had to be there.
At several brands the original Nan Mo often bought, she cleared out all the hydration, whitening, and repair skincare sets and masks.
She also bought out all the shampoo, body wash, lotion, perfume, and fragrances.
Lipsticks, blush, eyeshadow, eyebrow pencils, eyeliner, foundation, pressed powder, loose powder, cushion compacts, sunscreen. She stocked every type and shade in quantities she could never finish in a lifetime.
At one domestic brand counter, she saw a vintage series whose packaging suited the seventies aesthetic, so she bought out that entire line of skincare and makeup as well.
Domestic brands really were generous. Just the free samples alone would last her years.
The first floor was jewelry and luxury goods. Nan Mo had never lacked such things. In fact, what she had at home was more complete than what the stores carried.
Luo Ci herself had been born into an elite family, and her lifestyle had always been refined down to the smallest detail. Her husband’s and son’s outfits were all arranged by her. As for Nan Mo, who had been doted on since childhood, she had naturally never been short of anything.
That morning while packing her room, she had already been amazed by the Nan family’s purchasing power. She did not even need to check to know her parents’ and brother’s rooms must also be filled with the same kinds of items.
With that thought, she headed straight for the gold section. At more than twenty jewelry stores, including Zhou Fu, Zhou Sheng, Hong Ji, and Lin Rui, she bought every design that was not garish.
At a national gold counter, she placed an order for one hundred one kilogram gold bars, one hundred five hundred gram bars, and two hundred one hundred gram bars. They were not in stock and would be ready in three days.
After thinking it over, she also bought out all wedding collection designs from every brand.
The entire area grew busy. Many sales clerks even took photos of the receipts and posted them on social media. Nan Mo wore a mask and hat, so she was not worried about being photographed.
No one suspected anything. After all, Shanghai had plenty of hidden tycoons. Everyone assumed some wealthy family’s daughter was preparing her dowry.
While the crowd buzzed with speculation and envy, Nan Mo calmly settled the bill with the manager at the cashier.
After finishing the final payment, she checked the time. It was almost the agreed delivery time with the restaurants. She gave the manager a villa address and a warehouse address.
The gold jewelry was to be delivered to the villa. Everything else was to be sent to the warehouse.
She asked the manager for an electronic receipt and forwarded it to Xiao Huang so he could verify the inventory upon arrival.
Just as she reached the elevator, she glanced casually aside and her gaze stopped on a pair of exquisitely crafted couple watches displayed in the Rolex showcase.
Twelve diamonds were set into the mother of pearl dials like scattered stars. The straps were made of top grade leather, soft and smooth, perfectly complementing the metal cases.
The entire design flowed with natural lines, every detail refined to perfection, understated yet elegant.
Before she even stepped inside, a sales associate came forward smiling, none of the usual arrogance remaining.
By now, her grand shopping spree was known throughout the first floor. The clerk had no idea she had been sweeping the mall from top to bottom. She only wanted to serve this god of wealth well.
“I’ll take these two. Write up the bill.”
Nan Mo was truly in a hurry. If she had not liked them so much, she would already be waiting in the basement for the food deliveries.
“Of course, right away!”
After spending nearly a hundred million, Nan Mo walked to the basement carrying only the two watches and found the rented vans.
She had the restaurants deliver one by one. When the van on Basement Level One was filled, she drove out, circled the mall once, returned, and parked again.
Then she went down to Basement Level Two and used the second van to continue loading.
After rotating the two vans back and forth three or four times, she finally stored all the food into her space.
She contacted the rental company to collect the vehicles, then drove away in her own car.
She placed the watches in the bedroom inside her space, called Uncle Qin to say she would not be home for dinner, and found a nearby bathhouse with a good reputation. She would go to the warehouse to collect goods later.
After bathing, she went to a buffet restaurant for dinner. Almost everything was seafood.
Both she and the original body were allergic to seafood. Even smelling it for too long made her afraid of breaking out in hives. She could only eat a few bites in a hurry before going upstairs to get a massage and relax.
She could not help sighing. Life really was good now. The seventies would never have such comforts. Thinking too much about it might make her cry, so she checked the time and got dressed to leave.
She drove to the warehouse. When she arrived, the goods she had bought at the mall that day had just been delivered. Xiao Huang stood nearby checking items with the workers as they prepared to unload. Nan Mo sat in the car and shopped online.
Snowflake cream, Yumeijing cream, transistor radios, imitation seventies style watches in various men’s and women’s designs, sacks of all sizes, vintage bedsheets, pillowcases, quilt covers, old style Phoenix bicycles, old sewing machines, enamel mugs, enamel basins, aluminum lunch boxes, military canteens, old coal stoves, old aluminum pots, old clay pots, iron woks for traditional stoves, she ordered nine hundred ninety nine of each.
Not because she did not want more, but because the online store limit was nine hundred ninety nine.
Old style flashlights, batteries, matches, lighters, vintage suitcases, A4 paper, B5 paper, photo paper, wigs for elderly people and adults, fake shoulder pads, height increasing insoles, fake Adam’s apples, voice changers, pepper spray, stun batons, daggers, buy.
At a six crown yarn shop, she contacted customer service and bought every item in the store.
After filling in the warehouse address and completing the purchase, the unloading there was almost finished as well.
