"Janice, traffic's quite bad in the city. It's not easy to find any parking, so a bike's more convenient. You can leave your car here for now. Once we're done shopping, you can come back to get it," Leon knew that Janice drove over. It was much less convenient than his bike."Oh, alright," Janice nodded. After that, Leon brought her away.…Fuller Mall was a shopping mall that was close to the restaurant. After Leon parked his bike, he walked into the mall with Janice.Both of them shopped around.Seeing a large clothing brand, Jancie pulled Leon inside.The shop was not a big international brand, but it was still well-known within the country. It was a mid- to high-end brand.It was a very large place, split into both the men's wear area and the women's wear area.Janice dragged Leon into the men's wear area."Janice, didn't you want to buy some clothes? You should go to the women's wear area, why did you bring me here?" Leon was curious."I wanted to see if there was anyt
"Leon, fashion always comes and goes, and soon, this will be out of style before you know it. Let's just buy one set. There's no need to buy so many, is there?" Janice said, forcing out a smile. "That's okay. I need some new additions to my wardrobe too, so why not buy a few more while we're at it?" Leon said nonchalantly. "But..." Janice faltered at this. She wanted to change Leon's mind, but before she could say anything, Leon interjected, "No buts! Miss, can you help me pack these up and put them on my tab?" "Yes, sir." The salesgirl was overjoyed at this. This was her first time encountering a customer as generous as this one, and she quickly realized that this man was probably a billionaire. Upon realizing this, her attitude changed entirely, and she plastered a wide grin on her face. Then, as though afraid that Leon would change his mind at the next second, she disappeared to the counter with the clothes he ordered. Janice was utterly stunned by this sight. Now that
"But…" Janice could not think of any reason to reject the salesgirl's offer. "Come on. Let's go take a look." Leon took her hand and dragged her toward the women's department. Seeing that there was no prying her way out of this, Janice sighed and relented. After all, she was already here; it would not hurt anyone to try on a few pieces. Even if they turned out to be out of her budget, she could always choose not to buy them. Janice walked into the women's department with this thought. "Miss, these skirts and dresses are the newest additions to our store; I'm sure that the elegant design would look amazing on you, so feel free to try a few of them out…" the salesgirl chirruped, pointing at the row of sleek dresses in front of her. "Um…" Janice was a little hesitant. Even though she knew that these clothes would not be cheap and that her wallet would probably not be able to handle the price tag, she was still a woman at heart and longed to try these beautiful pieces on.
This was way out of her budget. "I don't think it's that special. Never mind. Let's go check out some other store…" Janice handed the clothes back to the salesgirl after changing out of them. The smile froze on the salesgirl's face as disappointment seeped through her heart. She hoped that a few of the items would catch Janice's attention, but on second thought, Janice was a gorgeous woman, and it was not surprising if Janice was considerably pickier when it came to fashion. At this thought, the salesgirl's face lit up as an idea popped into her head. She strode over to a clothing rack on the other side of the room and announced, "Miss, there's a beautiful dress here in the store. It's the brainchild of one of the most famous fashion designers in this country. Its quality is unsurpassable when it comes to fabric or design, and is one of the most beautiful items we have on display in this store…" Leon and Janice turned to glance in her direction and came face-to-face with a
"Miss, please add this dress as well as the other clothes Janice has tried on to the bill! I'll take all of them!" Leon declared confidently. "Yes, Sir! I'll put it on your tab right now!" the salesgirl was absolutely over the moon. She quickly placed the clothes into a paper bag, the grin on her face so wide it was as though her cheeks would split apart at any moment. "Wait, miss! I don't want any of them…" Janice quickly stepped forward to stop her. "Janice, you look amazing in these clothes. Why would you not want them?" Leon was puzzled by this. "I…" Janice's face was red with embarrassment, but she could no longer hide her humiliation. She whispered to him, "I don't have that much money…" "No money?" the color drained from the salesgirl's face. She thought Leon was a wealthy man from how generously he acted just now, but now, she seemed to come to the realization that these two fooled her all along! "Sir, do you still want these clothes?" she asked, the smile froz
Janice's face was etched with worry, hoping that Leon would take her advice and snap out of this before it was too late. Leon did not know how to react to this. He could tell that Janice misunderstood the nature of his job, but he knew that she just tried to help, so he did not try to go against her. "Alright, I promise I won't do it again," he said, smiling. The only reason he got into the business was that he tried to establish the Energy Convergence Circle, and he knew that this industry was not what it seemed on the outside; if he were to get involved even more and other people discovered that he was able to sense the rocks' spiritual energy, the consequences would be dire! If that happened, he could not even guarantee his safety. Therefore, that was the first and last time he ever attempted to gamble on gemstones, and he never once hoped this business would bring him wealth. "That's good." Janice was relieved to hear this. A split second later, however, she seemed t
Janice chuckled as she said this, but after a moment, she realized how her statement could be easily misunderstood, and blushed in embarrassment.Leon did not take it too seriously at all and instead pointed at a cosmetic store a short distance away from them. "Didn't you want to buy some makeup too, Janice? That store over there looks nice, why don't we go take a look?""Alright." Janice agreed, and the two of them strode over together. This was a chain cosmetics store that mainly sold mid and high-end makeup products, including well-known international brands that featured skin care products, perfume, and cosmeceutical products as well.The two of them walked into the store.Perhaps it was a Saturday, but the entire store was packed with people, and the mere few sales assistants available seemed to be overwhelmed by the crowd. Leon and Janice circled the store a few times, but even then, no sales assistant came up to attend to them. After walking around the store for a whil
According to his calculations, the final suggested selling price would only be 1000 dollars, at most, but now, this store was selling it at 1700 dollars, so how could he not be shocked by the price? "You call this expensive? What a joke! If you're so broke you can't afford anything in here, don't step into the store!" the salesgirl scowled at him. She was very clear in warning them not to disturb her unless they genuinely wanted to buy a product, and now that he wasted her time, she could not help feeling infuriated. "Um…" Leon was a little sheepish at this. There was still about 10 million dollars in his bank account, and truth be told, a few thousand dollars did not matter much to him at all. He was just a little shocked at the difference between the factory and final selling prices, and could not seem to figure out what went wrong. After all, Elegante Group sold each set to Wick Group at 400 dollars apiece, and the only explanation for this outrageous price that was W
