In less than ten minutes, after quickly picking out several bags and seasonal clothes, Jiang Cheng paid over four hundred thousand yuan.
There was still half an hour left, which was plenty of time.
After glancing at the jewelry section, he decisively ruled out the brand Van Cleef & Arpels.
Although Van Cleef & Arpels held its value well and its style was unique and popular,
he had just taken Xiao Xia and Xia Meng to buy from there a few days ago.
Taking Jiang Churan there now felt a bit like he was some kind of wholesaler.
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
He led Jiang Churan toward the Bvlgari counter.
He noticed Jiang Churan was staring intently at the massive glass promotional sign at the entrance.
Jiang Cheng looked over and saw that it featured Bvlgari's latest'sewing machine' spokesperson, Wu Moufan.
Recalling the TikTok livestreams from his past life where people who looked like him were seen working sewing machines in prison, Jiang Cheng almost couldn't hold back and wanted to laugh out loud on the spot.
He hadn't expected that in 2018, the man would still be a spokesperson for Bvlgari.
In the photo, he still looked infinitely glorious and full of high spirits.
Unfortunately, the good times wouldn't last. In a few years, he'd be inside working those cold, heartless sewing machines.
It really was a waste of such a handsome face.
Why choose to achieve your goals through extreme, criminal means when the problems could be solved with money?
Thinking about this, Jiang Cheng suddenly understood why those celebrities were always so keen on going abroad.
After all, spending money and consuming within our own country always carried a certain degree of risk and insecurity for these stars.
Once a scandal broke, they couldn't just easily delete the posts like Jiang Cheng and then turn around and continue living a carefree life as if nothing happened.
For them, as public figures, once a scandal was exposed, it was a devastating blow that basically ruined their entire career.
Take Wang Congcong, for example.
Even though he didn't give a damn about those so-called scandals,
every time he walked down the streets, he was still pointed at by passersby.
Some even went as far as to whip out their phones and take photos of him without any hesitation.
If he happened to be in a bad mood, Wang Congcong was no pushover; he'd directly snatch the person's phone without a word.
But with his fame, ending up on the hot search was inevitable.
It couldn't be suppressed, to the point where he'd even be called out by name by Huaxia Film and Television.
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng felt that staying low-key was indeed the right choice.
No wonder the truly wealthy didn't like to show their faces on television.
After all, how could you fool around once your face was known??
If you're constantly being watched, you can only go abroad~~
This thought reminded Jiang Cheng of the wonderful experience he had during his last trip abroad.
In his excitement, he felt that he should find an opportunity to go abroad again after the New Year.
Don't misunderstand; Jiang Cheng simply felt that the moon was rounder in foreign countries.
It wasn't at all because he missed the 'wild fighting' inside that garden glass house,
or those 'doggy-style' experiences.
"Do you like Wu Moufan??"
Hearing this, Jiang Churan was startled for a moment, then she gently shook her head.
She had been staring blankly at the Bvlgari storefront, but it wasn't because she was looking at Wu Moufan.
Rather, she was pondering a question in her heart.
What kind of girl did Jiang Cheng actually like?
She had just seen Jiang Cheng finish buying from LV and then come to Bvlgari.
Was he visiting these luxury stores so frequently just to please some girl?
And who was that lucky girl?
Before, Jiang Churan had once vainly assumed that Jiang Cheng was interested in her.
After all, Jiang Cheng had taken the initiative to ask her out.
She had been full of joy, thinking that she and Jiang Cheng might be what people call a 'two-way street.'
Sometimes, after finishing her work, Jiang Cheng's figure would involuntarily surface in her mind.
She would even find it hard to resist looking for topics to try and keep in touch with him.
It was for this reason that she occasionally went to the Children's Hospital to volunteer, hoping she might run into Jiang Cheng there again.
But now it seemed she had been overthinking things.
Standing in front of the Bvlgari store, Jiang Churan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
She began to carefully review every chat record she had with Jiang Cheng recently.
She was afraid she might have said something improper or something that could be misunderstood.
After a serious session of reminiscing, she confirmed she hadn't made such a mistake, and her heart finally settled a little.
With a slightly forced expression, she slowly replied, "I don't have any particular feeling about him, but Sister Shuang really likes him. She even took me to see him perform live once."
When Jiang Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but start roasting: "Hear him sing?? With that level of skill? It seems Shen Shuang's taste is just mediocre!"
Jiang Churan couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, then she softly responded, "Well... objectively speaking, his shout-rapping isn't that great?"
As they conversed, a Sales Associate nearby quickly stepped forward with a warm, professional smile to greet them.
Using the same routine as before, as soon as they entered the shop, Jiang Cheng pointed to several pieces of jewelry in the display case.
He turned to Jiang Churan and asked, "Help me take a look. Which type do you prefer among these pieces?"
Following the direction Jiang Cheng pointed, Jiang Churan's gaze fell on several classic vintage-style necklaces that the Sales Associate had meticulously recommended.
However, after thinking for a moment, she gently shook her head and said, "To be honest, these necklaces are all very beautiful, but I just feel that jewelry designed with a snake motif might not be very suitable for daily wear."
Jiang Cheng glanced at the jewelry, and it was indeed as Jiang Churan said.
Compared to the fresh and elegant, flower-like jewelry of Van Cleef & Arpels, these diamond pieces that looked like thick, winding pythons were indeed a bit exaggerated.
This bold and flashy design style would likely only look right on certain grand, formal occasions.
If worn out on a normal day, it would only give off a vulgar sense of flaunting wealth.
After receiving the clear feedback that Jiang Churan didn't like them, the Sales Associate immediately and cleverly turned to point toward another counter, enthusiastically introducing a series of delicate diamond rings displayed there.
When looking at those delicate pieces, Jiang Cheng keenly noticed that Jiang Churan's gaze instantly underwent a subtle change.
Following her line of sight, he saw exquisite Bvlgari pendants on the display stand.
The materials were similar to those of Van Cleef & Arpels, also using various types of mother-of-pearl and dazzling gemstones,
all skillfully set in 18K gold.
The most significant difference between the two was the shape.
Jiang Cheng pointed to several classic 'Small Fan' mother-of-pearl necklaces in different colors.
Then he moved his hand over and tapped on those uniquely shaped Lulutong transfer ring ornaments.
He said to the Sales Associate in a crisp and decisive tone, "Take all of these out."
Upon hearing Jiang Cheng's words, a professional smile immediately appeared on the Sales Associate's face, and she didn't dare to be the least bit negligent.
She moved quickly, carefully taking out the necklaces Jiang Cheng had pointed to one by one and arranging them neatly on the table in front of them.
In the eyes of this experienced Sales Associate, a customer wearing an expensive Patek Philippe watch on his wrist would find it effortless to buy a necklace worth twenty or thirty thousand yuan for his girlfriend.
Just as the Sales Associate was about to pick up one of the necklaces to help Jiang Churan try it on,
Jiang Cheng beat her to it, reaching out to take the necklace and indicating that he would personally put it on Jiang Churan.
Jiang Churan's long and graceful neck was as eye-catching as a swan's.
When the necklace was slowly draped around her neck, it fell perfectly onto her exquisite and charming collarbone; the two complemented each other, further highlighting her noble temperament.
