Chapter 4: 004: Buying new gadgets

    After leaving the restaurant, Yue Xuexia was crossing toward the cafe? on the opposite side when she suddenly felt her phone vibrates and saw the

    [Your bank card account ending with 5578 had been credited with 8,000 RMB to Unlimited Samgyupsal Restaurant at 11:30 am. Your total savings is now 4,982,000 RMB.]

    [Your bank card account ending with 5567 had transferred money worth 50,000 RMB in the account under Miss xxx from Autumn Field landbank at 9:20 am. Your current saving balance is 4,932,000.00 RMB (Autumn Field landbank)]

    [Your bank card account ending with 5567 had transferred money worth 100,000 RMB in the pa*pal account under Miss Yue Ruxia from Autumn Field landbank at 9:25 am. Your current saving balance is 4,832,000.00 RMB (Autumn Field landbank)]

    [Your bank card account ending with 5567 had transferred money worth 100,000 RMB in the pa*pal account under Miss Yue Jixia from Autumn Field landbank at 9:28 am. Your current saving balance is 4,732,000.00 RMB (Autumn Field landbank)]

    Yue Xuexia mumbled, "It''s inconvenient to pay using scan. I should avail a new card next time I cash out from the stock exchange."

    Before she could even enter the cafe, her sisters passed her the order she usually buys in this Starb*ck Cafe. Yue Ruxia and Yue Jixia were shocked to see the transferred money on their PayP*l account.

    "Oh~ it''s my favorite. This hits the spot~" said Yue Xuexia as she sips on her dark mocha frappuccino with blended whipped cream, twice blended with three scoops of white chocolate powder. Cocoa powder and white chocolate syrup on top.

    Yue Jixia asked, "Dajie, did you transfer the wrong amount of money? You gave us too much."

    "That''s 100,000 RMB. I can only buy a phone with that. Or is that the money to buy our phone?" asked Yue Ruxia.

    Yue Xuexia said, "Of course not. That''s your food allowance. I would be paying for your shopping today. This includes your phone and everything."

    Yue Ruxia said, "Wow~ Dajie you''re rich!"

    "My money is our money. We are rich," said Yue Xuexia.

    Then the three sisters laughed together happily and went to the nearest Appl* Store to buy the phones her sister wanted. Yue Ruxia and Yue Jixia were roaming around the store touching whatever unit they had searched all night yesterday. Yue Xuexia on the other hand was seated at the resting area sipping on her frappe while chatting with someone.

    On her phone chat:

    Marigold Mall CEO: Greetings, Miss Yue. I am Chen Huan, from the Chen family. We would like to request a meeting to welcome you as the second-largest shareholder of Marigold Mall.

    Yue Xuexia: I don''t have time. I have no intention of getting involved with the management of the whole mall. But I wanted to have the authority to fire or close a store if it offends me. Would that be alright?

    Chen Huan: Of course, Miss Yue, that is your authority as one of the largest shareholders of the mall. I will not invite Miss Yue to a welcoming party; then, how about a simple and friendly chat as friends?

    Yue Xuexia: .....

    In her thoughts, she was contacting her system. She had no experience when it came to this kind of thing. Moreover, she is not a business course graduate and has no idea about things when it comes to business.

    ''System, what should I do? He is asking for a meeting. But he is a businessperson, and I had no idea about it at all. I don''t want to meet him at all,'' said Yue Xuexia in her mind.

    Her sign-in system responded, [Don''t worry. Tell him that your assistant will come over to meet him. I would send someone to talk business with him. Don''t worry about him too much. Better to just ignore him instead.]

    ''Okay. I will leave it to you. Thank you, System.''

    She resumed her chat with the CEO of Marigold Mall. Yue Xuexia did as she was told and chatted with Chen Huan about sending her assistant.

    Yue Xuexia: I will send my assistant to meet you. You can talk to him. I''m with my family right now. Please excuse me.

    ---

    Meanwhile, at the CEO''s office in the top hidden room in Marigold Mall, Chen Huan was sitting in front of his computer. He was observing Yue Xuexia on the monitor and felt that she seemed to be so ordinary.

    Chen Huan murmured, "This young lady looks like a peasant. She is not graceful and has no poise. She looks no different from ordinary civilians. Her background results are all the same. Ordinary. But how can she buy 23% shares of my mall?"

    Knock. Knock. Knock.

    Chen Huan asked, "Who is it?"

    "Sir, someone is here saying he is Miss Yue''s assistant," said his secretary.

    Yue Ruxia and Yue Jixia said, "We want the same thing, Dajie!"

    "Sure. But black ones are mine," said Yue Xuexia.

    Yue Ruxia spoke to the young sales lady, "Big Sis! What are the available colors of this iPad Air tablet? For that iPhone 14, I want the purple one!"

    The young sales lady patiently answered with a smile, "iPad Air is available in the colors: Space Gray, Starlight, Pink, Blue, and Purple."

    "I want a Starlight color for the tablet and the phone. Thank you!" said Yue Jixia.

    "Hm,~ Dajie would definitely get Midnight for the phone and Space gray for the tablet. Then... I want pink for the tablet and I don''t want purple for the phone. Can I change it to red?" asked Yue Ruxia.

    The young sales lady said, "Yes, it''s available. Would three units for both the iPad Air and iPhone 14 be your order?"

    "No," replied Yue Xuexia.

    Before she could continue her words, some sales ladies were commenting badly about the three sisters.

    "I told you they are posers. How could they afford these types of gadgets when they look at what they are wearing!?"

    "Unbranded clothes. If you are poor, stop making a scene here."

    "Get out! You aren''t welcome here."

    The manager of the store couldn''t believe she had hired these kinds of people in her store. She felt ashamed that she couldn''t help but reprimand them on the spot.

    The manager exclaimed, "Where are your manners? You guys don''t even act like professionals. Is that how you treat the customers when I am not around!?"

    The young sales lady was already lowering her head before Yue Xuexia and her sister, who lost their smiles when they heard what the other sales ladies were saying.

    "P-Please don''t be offended. Dear Misses! We will compensate you with free tempered glasses and cases for each unit. I hope you don''t cancel your orders," said the professional young sales lady.

    Yue Xuexia felt respected in her presence, and her unhappy mood was instantly lifted.

    "Does your store accept scan payments?" asked Yue Xuexia.

    The Young Sales lady spoke, "Scan payment? Yes, of course!"

    "Good. Then for the iPad Air. I want five units. Give me all the five available colors. The same goes for the iPhone 14. I want five units as well," said Yue Xuexia.

    "F-F-Five...!!!?"

    The young saleswoman and everyone else in the store were dumbfounded by what they''d heard.

    Yue Jixia asked, "Are the extra two for Ma and Pa?"

    "Yes. I planned to give them the same unit since it''s easier to buy it in bulk. Either way, I have cashed out a few more millions just now," answered Yue Xuexia.

    Yue Ruxia innocently asked, "Didn''t Dajie withdraw money from stocks last night? Is it not enough?"

    "Send half of it to charity. I still have 5 million rmb in the account but I thought it wouldn''t be enough as we still need to go buy some groceries," answered Yue Xuexia.

    The others'' thoughts: ''Gave half for charity, and you still have 5 million. Does that mean your savings are at least 10 million RMB!!!!?''

    Yue Jixia asked, "You''ve withdrawn another from the stock exchange. How much money do you have now, Dajie?"

    "Wait, let me check. The bank should send me some notifications just now. I had withdrawn 15 million usd so..."

    On her phone, a surprising notification was flashing.

    [Your bank card account ending with 5567 had received a deposit transfer from Stock Exchange at 1:30 p.m. You had received a 100 million RMB deposit and your current saving balance is 104,832,000.00 RMB (Autumn Field landbank)]
