Chapter 225
It completely laid bare Bai Bai Jie's charming and seductive elegance.
"As expected of Sister Bai, perfect!"
Li Li Xueying said.
In response, Bai Bai Jie checked the prices: 82,538 yuan for the clothes and 40,100 yuan for the bag.
To be honest, even after becoming a regular employee at the company, it would take her more than eight months of working without eating or drinking to earn that amount.
When Tang Tang Chuyu walked out of the fitting room, a breeze of youthful vitality immediately greeted them.
"Not bad, this is the one!"
Li Li Xueying said.
Tang Tang Chuyu checked the prices: 32,100 yuan for the white dress and 31,500 yuan for the Pearl Wanderer bag.
Paired with an ivory-white Kashmir hat costing 4,700.
This set alone totaled nearly seventy thousand.
Of course, Li Li Xueying was not idle either; she first bought a classic black-and-white suit from the Salzburg collection of the artisan workshop series,
and added a bag, bringing the price tag straight to 100,000.
However, that was not all.
In the end, each of the three women bought three sets.
Then, right at the Chanel boutique, they spent nearly one million.
Besides that, after leaving the store,
there were La Mer creams, Helena Rubinstein Re-Plasty Stone Stone Stone Stone Age Recovery Night Cream, Guerlain products, and so on.
Each person received a full set.
Finally, the three of them could be said to have completely let themselves go.
As Bai Bai Jie and Tang Tang Chuyu walked out of the IFS Mall carrying large and small bags, the smiles on their faces were impossible to hide.
It could be said that from childhood to adulthood, neither Bai Bai Jie nor Tang Tang Chuyu had ever spent money like this before.
Basically, whatever the three of them liked, they simply swiped their cards to buy it.
They were so generous that the entire IFS Mall became aware of their frenzied spending.
As a result, when some shops saw the three of them, the sales clerks greeted them with smiling faces, not daring to show the slightest negligence.
Naturally, waiting in line was out of the question.
Fortunately, these three remained somewhat rational; in the end, their total spending amounted to 2.3286 million.
At that moment, while Lin Yi was dining with Han Han Han Yajing, he heard his Huawei phone ringing incessantly.
Upon checking, he saw they were all SMS transaction records, forming a long, endless string.
However, remembering that Li Li Xueying had told him earlier in the afternoon that she was going to the IFS Center with Secretary Bai and Secretary Tang,
Lin Yi felt relieved.
Although the expenditure was quite high, when he handed that black gold card to Li Li Xueying,
he had no intention of asking her to save money.
In fact, Lin Yi was not a stingy person.
Just because he personally did not like luxury goods did not mean he should force Li Li Xueying to dislike them as well.
Moreover, this amount of money really meant nothing to him now.
He might as well let the little secretary who had endured several months of hardship with him enjoy herself for once.
However, at this moment in the IFS Mall, Bai Bai Jie and Tang Tang Chuyu, who were enjoying the thrill of frenzied spending, did not know
that using this money would, in the future, require them to pay a "heavy" price.
After their frenzied shopping spree,
the three women were all feeling hungry, and after storing all their purchases in the trunk of Li Li Xueying's Porsche,
Li Li Xueying immediately suggested:
"How about we go get something to eat? I'm starving!"
Hearing her say this, Tang Tang Chuyu and Bai Bai Jie also realized their stomachs were empty.
It was just that, moments before, they had been so swept up in the thrill of reckless spending that they had completely forgotten about their hunger.
"What would you two like to eat?" Li Li Xueying asked.
Thinking for a moment, Tang Tang Chuyu said shyly:
"Anything is fine with me!"
"Same here!" Bai Bai Jie added.
So, Li Li Xueying took the two women back to the Guojin Center Mall.
They went up to the third floor and entered an elegantly decorated restaurant.
It was Lei Yuan, a Michelin one-star establishment.
Li Li Xueying could be said to have treated the two women to an experience of what true gourmet food really meant.
After the waiter brought the menus, Li Li Xueying said to the two women:
"Take a look and see what you'd like to order. I only learned about this place from online recommendations. This restaurant was founded in 1973 by the son of Chen Jitang, the warlord of Guangdong Province known as the 'Southern Heavenly King' during the Republic of China era. Their Cantonese cuisine is excellent!"
Upon hearing this introduction, Tang Tang Chuyu looked at the menu;
while most items were acceptable, the prices of some dishes truly left her speechless.
Just then, Li Li Xueying asked the waiter:
"Where are your two-head abalones from?"
"They are black gold abalones from New Zealand, ma'am!"
the waiter replied.
"Hmm, then we'll have those. Braised two-head abalone in abalone sauce; we'll take three servings!"
Li Li Xueying ordered.
"Certainly, ma'am!"
Hearing this, Tang Tang Chuyu and Bai Bai Jie glanced at the price: 7,688 yuan per serving.
"Also bring three servings of shark fin tossed dry with crab roe!" Li Li Xueying continued, smiling at the two women:
"I already said today is my treat, so don't be shy. Do you see anything else you'd like to eat?"
Hearing this, the two women thought she was right; they had just purchased luxury goods worth hundreds of thousands,
so why should they haggle over this now?
Thus, they each ordered two dishes they liked.
However, when the waiter served the three abalones,
Tang Tang Chuyu stared at the two-head abalones, which were larger than her outstretched hand. Born in Shandong Province, she had never seen such a large abalone in real life before.
She gently cut a small piece with her knife and fork and placed it in her mouth.
Squinting her eyes, Tang Tang Chuyu felt it was simply delicious.
The rich abalone sauce and the melt-in-your-mouth texture of the abalone were utterly irresistible to her.
"Is it alright?"
Li Li Xueying asked with a smile from the side.
"It's incredibly delicious, Sister Ying!" Tang Tang Chuyu exclaimed excitedly.
"Indeed, the taste is quite good."
Bai Bai Jie also nodded in satisfaction; meals like this were something she had only enjoyed once or twice in her life.
Under normal circumstances, she could certainly never afford such a meal.
At that moment, after taking a bite of the shark fin tossed dry with crab roe, priced at 768 yuan per serving, Tang Tang Chuyu let out a sigh.
"Sigh!"
"What's wrong, Xiaoyu? Is the food not good?"
Li Li Xueying asked curiously.
"No, it's just... Sister Ying, after suddenly eating something this wonderful, I started thinking that
I will probably never get to eat this again in the future!"
