[DING! The 'Randomly Spend' Tycoon System is at your service. Issuing a novice mission: The host must spend ¥2,000,000.00 within 2 hours. Mission Reward: To be unlocked.]
[Your exclusive Black Gold Card has been delivered to your bag. Please check for it~]
At 8:30 in the morning, just as Yun Zijin got off the bus, a voice suddenly rang out in her mind, and a virtual screen appeared before her eyes.
Yun Zijin quickly looked at the people around her, but no one seemed to notice anything unusual.
'Does that mean... I'm the only one who can see it?'
Remembering that the voice mentioned an exclusive Black Gold Card for the mission's spending funds had been placed in her bag, Yun Zijin immediately rummaged through it.
Sure enough! Inside her bag was a new bank card—black, with a golden star-like totem.
'Can this card actually be used?'
[Host has 1 hour and 50 minutes remaining. If the mission is not completed before the time limit, the mission time will be reduced, and the spending amount will be increased for a new attempt. Please hurry.]
The voice rang out in her mind again, and a countdown appeared on the virtual screen before her: 01:49:59.
'It wants me to spend money?'
Yun Zijin looked at the black card in her hand, then checked the time. Seeing she still had a while before work, she walked toward Jinsheng Mall, a property of the Lu Family, located across from her office building.
Jinsheng Mall was the largest and most high-end shopping center in Dijing, with the heaviest foot traffic. People wouldn't dare set foot inside unless they had millions to their name.
Although Yun Zijin passed it every day on her way to work, she had never once stepped inside.
Now, to test whether the Black Gold Card from this so-called 'Randomly Spend' Tycoon System actually worked, Yun Zijin walked in for the very first time.
With two million to spend in under two hours, Yun Zijin looked around and ultimately decided on luxury goods.
Jinsheng Mall had twelve floors in total, with the luxury brands concentrated on the fifth and sixth floors.
Yun Zijin went to the fifth floor first, and the first store she entered was Tiffany.
The most valuable item in Yun Zijin's entire outfit today was her phone, which was worth less than 4,000 yuan. Her clothes were all bargain-hunted on Taobao, and her whole ensemble didn't cost more than 500 yuan.
A sales associate could tell at a glance that Yun Zijin wasn't their target customer. So... despite her browsing in the store for a long time, no one paid her any attention.
But Yun Zijin didn't mind. Her main goal was to spend money.
"Hello, could you please get this for me?"
Yun Zijin called out to the nearest sales associate, pointing to a T Smile necklace on display in the counter.
The sales associate glanced at Yun Zijin, then turned and waved to a young woman standing in the corner. "Xiao Mei, you come over. Get the necklace for this customer."
Yun Zijin was speechless.
'Do you have to be so obvious about judging people by their appearance?'
Hearing the SA, Xiao Mei walked over to Yun Zijin. "Hello, ma'am. I'm Xiao Mei. May I have your last name?"
"My last name is Yun. Please, let me see that Smile necklace."
"Of course, Miss Yun."
Xiao Mei put on a pair of gloves and took the Smile necklace out of the display case.
"Would you like to try it on?"
Although she privately thought Yun Zijin probably couldn't afford it, Xiao Mei still provided attentive service, adhering to the principle that the customer is always right.
"No need. And this Smile earring, and the square bracelet... wrap them all up for me."
Xiao Mei froze for a moment, surprised that Yun Zijin wanted her to wrap them up without even trying them on.
Although the items weren't terribly expensive, for an intern like her, the commission from a sale worth tens of thousands was still quite substantial.
"Of course. Is there anything else you need?"
"This one. Wrap it up, too."
Yun Zijin was pointing to a T1 Wide Diamond Hinged Bangle from the T collection, priced at ¥322,000.00.
Xiao Mei: !!!
'Who would have thought! The plain-looking Miss Yun is actually a low-key rich girl?'
"Right away!"
"Tch. Dressed in cheap junk and wants to buy a 300,000-yuan bracelet? She must be putting on a front just to show off."
The sales associate who had just snubbed Yun Zijin and passed her off to Xiao Mei muttered contemptuously when she heard Yun Zijin wanted to buy the 320,000-yuan bracelet.
Although her voice was low, Yun Zijin heard it. Beside her, Xiao Mei's hand, which was reaching for the bracelet, also paused for a second. She felt extremely awkward.
"Wrap it up. Let's pay by card."
Yun Zijin didn't even look at the sales associate. 'Whether I'm putting on a front or not, the card will tell the truth.'
Yun Zijin handed the Black Gold Card from the 'Randomly Spend' system to Xiao Mei.
Even at this point, the SA who had refused to serve Yun Zijin remained stubbornly convinced she was right.
"Oh, Xiao Mei, you really need to work on your judgment."
The implication was that Yun Zijin was just putting on a brave front.
Yun Zijin ignored her. All she needed to do now was confirm if this card really worked and if the spending mission from the voice was real or not.
Xiao Mei gave Yun Zijin an apologetic look. That SA had connections, so the others usually didn't dare to speak up against her, even if they were angry.
Yun Zijin didn't want to waste any more time. "Please hurry. I'm in a rush."
She had less than two hours.
"Okay, I'll ring you up right away."
Xiao Mei placed the three shopping bags she had packed onto the checkout counter and handed Yun Zijin's card to the cashier. "Xiao Li, checkout."
Xiao Li was the store's cashier, and she had seen the whole incident unfold.
Although she also privately believed Yun Zijin couldn't afford it, she followed procedure and began to process the payment.
"Ma'am, your total is 356,750. Please enter your PIN."
[PIN: 918888]
The voice of the 'Randomly Spend' system sounded in her mind. Without pausing, Yun Zijin calmly entered "918888".
Soon, the "Payment Successful" page appeared on the cashier's screen. The POS machine automatically printed a receipt, and another one came out of the cash register.
"How is that possible!"
The sales associate who had just mocked Yun Zijin stared in utter disbelief when she saw the payment actually go through.
Remembering that Yun Zijin had initially asked her for help, and that she had personally handed the opportunity over to Xiao Mei, the SA's expression turned foul. She stared intently at the shopping bags in Xiao Mei's hands.
'That commission should have been mine! No, I can't just let her hand over my commission to someone else!'
And so, she put on a completely different, fawning expression and smiled obsequiously at Yun Zijin.
"Miss Yun, hello. Xiao Mei is just an intern. She isn't qualified to process a customer's sale. I'll be the one to handle this transaction for you."
'The payment's already gone through, and now she wants to steal the credit? Does she think I'm an idiot?'
