Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 425 - 424: No Need to Hide

With these thoughts in mind, the clerk became even more enthusiastic.

The clerk felt that, given the handsome man and beautiful woman’s ages, they probably didn’t have a deep understanding of jade.

Because it was usually the older generation who appreciated jade.

Only when one matures do they come to appreciate jade, which symbolizes tranquility and peace.

So the clerk made a point of extolling the virtues of jade to the handsome man and beautiful woman, as that would increase the likelihood of making a sale today, wouldn’t it?

"Miss, you’ve made a great choice in selecting a jade bracelet."

"You know, the left hand is closer to the heart, and the stimulation of the Neiguan acupuncture point on the wrist by a jade bracelet can stabilize blood pressure and relieve the heart’s burden, which is beneficial for the heart."

"If you two are choosing a gift for elders, a jade bracelet is truly an excellent choice."

"Moreover, there’s one more important point, jade is also a symbol of virtue, so giving a jade bracelet to your mother symbolizes praising her grace and virtues."

"I believe the lady’s mother will be very pleased with the gift you two have chosen."

The conversation between the handsome man and the beautiful woman had not been intended to be kept secret, and the clerk had heard every word with perfect clarity.

Knowing that the handsome man wanted to choose a gift for the beautiful woman’s mother, the clerk naturally extolled the virtues of the woman’s mother earnestly.

This could also be considered a form of indirect flattery.

If the handsome man and beautiful lady were pleased, wouldn’t the purchasing of a jade bracelet mean the clerk would have made a successful sale today?

"Take a look."

Su Mu hadn’t really given much thought to what specific gift to give.

Now that he had an idea, Su Mu naturally didn’t need to worry about it anymore.

Xuanxuan had said her mom liked jade, and according to Xuanxuan, her mother was quite fond of wearing jade bracelets.

As for the clerk’s claims about the many benefits of jade bracelets, Su Mu knew that was just a sales tactic.

Of course, Su Mu had not made his decision based on what the clerk said.

The main reason was that Su Mu had already deduced that Xuanxuan’s mother liked jade bracelets.

Therefore, Su Mu and Xuanxuan went straight to the display case to look at the neatly arranged arrays of jade bracelets.

"Sir, miss, which one caught your eye? I can take it out for a closer look."

Although their enthusiasm had not been met with a response from the handsome man and beautiful woman,

the clerk was not discouraged.

Seeing that the handsome man and the beautiful woman had begun choosing through the display case glass, the clerk quickly went behind the counter, took out the keys from the drawer in the cabinet.

Because the jewelry was very valuable, the display cases were usually locked from the inside.

Of course, when customers needed to see something, the clerk would unlock it and take out the actual item.

However, they usually did so only after customers had shown interest in a specific piece because jade items are fragile, and the clerk was always careful.

If a customer accidentally broke something, it would be quite a troublesome matter.

Naturally, the clerk would not want to create trouble for themselves.

Now that Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan had not specified anything yet, the clerk took the initiative to offer to take out the items from the display case for them to see.

The clerk’s thinking was simple: the handsome man and the beautiful woman looked like they were not just ordinary rich people.

Even if they accidentally dropped and broke a jade bracelet, the clerk wouldn’t be worried that the handsome man and the beautiful woman would refuse to compensate.

With that concern out of the way, the clerk naturally thought that presenting the actual pieces to the handsome man and beautiful woman would allow them to better appreciate the aesthetic beauty of the jade bracelets.

"Which one do you like?"

Su Mu still asked his girlfriend and did not respond to the clerk.

Su Mu didn’t know much about jade bracelets, and since they were typically worn by women, he felt Xuanxuan might have a clearer idea of her mother’s preferences.

"I don’t understand either, I haven’t studied jade ware."

Jiang Xinxuan honestly shook his head; all these jade bracelets looked quite pretty to him.

But in Jiang Xinxuan’s eyes, they all seemed about the same.

Asking Jiang Xinxuan to choose was really putting him on the spot.

"How about this one?"

Since neither of them knew much about jade, Su Mu naturally had his own method.

He pointed to a jade bracelet in the display case that was a uniform shade of emerald green, thinking it should be a good choice.

The price tag on it read 6,660,000, the most expensive one in the case.

Su Mu’s method was to buy the most expensive one when in doubt.

In stores like these that had official certification, the prices were never listed arbitrarily.

The more expensive the price, the better the quality of the jade bracelet—that was the simplest logic.

"It looks nice, but isn’t it too expensive?"

Jiang Xinxuan glanced at the jade bracelet Su Mu had pointed out, which indeed seemed to exude an air of luxury.

However, seeing the price, Jiang Xinxuan still felt it was a bit too much.

It wasn’t that Jiang Xinxuan couldn’t afford it.

6,660,000 wasn’t a large sum for the Jiang Family.

But now it was Su Mu buying a gift for his own mother.

Jiang Xinxuan recalled his mother’s admonitions and felt from the bottom of his heart that this gift was indeed too extravagant.

At this point, Jiang Xinxuan and Su Mu were only in the stage of dating.

The two had not discussed marriage or anything of that sort.

For Su Mu to bring such a valuable gift on his first visit, Jiang Xinxuan felt Su Mu was being too generous.

Even though Jiang Xinxuan was prepared to reciprocate in the future.

But when it came to visiting Su Mu’s parents, Jiang Xinxuan had to follow Su Mu’s lead, and right now, he had no idea at all.

Jiang Xinxuan knew his plans for returning the favor might not materialize anytime soon.

"Su Mu, why don’t we look at something else?"

At first, Jiang Xinxuan thought that if Su Mu spent around one million on a jade bracelet, it would already be considered very valuable.

But a one-million bracelet was still something Jiang Xinxuan could accept in his heart.

Jiang Xinxuan had no intention of persuading Su Mu otherwise.

Apart from the bracelet, Jiang Xinxuan could not think of any other jade item that would suit his mother.

But now, seeing the price rocket to six times as much, Jiang Xinxuan couldn’t remain calm.

"As long as it looks good, that’s enough, let’s take this one."

Su Mu essentially turned down his girlfriend’s suggestion, as of course, the choice in gifts had to be the most appealing.

Regarding the price, Su Mu originally aimed for the most expensive, so there was no need for further consideration.

"Alright, sir, miss, I’ll take the bracelet out for you to have a look," said the sales associate.

"This bracelet is still somewhat affected by the lighting inside the display case."

The clerk had been listening to Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan’s conversation from within the counter all along.

Since the handsome man in front hadn’t shown any sign of paying attention to her, she was very keen not to speak out.

Now that the handsome man had made a decision, the clerk wasn’t going to miss such a good opportunity.

The clerk didn’t need any further indication from the handsome man and the beautiful woman and opened the glass door of the display case with the key she had been holding all along.

She carefully took out the bracelet, along with the box, and placed it on a tray.

Of course, from the moment she took out the key, the clerk had already put on white gloves.

For these precious items, jewelry stores have their own specific regulations.

The clerk never has direct contact with these precious jade pieces.

"Sir, Miss, your taste is really exceptional, this jade bracelet is the pride of our Yu Yuan Jewelry Store, just look at how pure the color is."

The clerk was all smiles as she introduced the jade bracelet on the tray to Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan.

To say that this jade bracelet is the treasure of Yu Yuan Jewelry Store was indeed no exaggeration.

The so-called treasure of the store is just the most valuable jade piece in the shop, isn’t it?

In terms of price, this jade bracelet truly deserved to be the treasure of Yu Yuan Jewelry Store.

Su Mu was honestly not interested in what the clerk had to say.

The treasure of the store? The clerk was just trying to say that the jade bracelet he was holding and viewing was valuable.

As for whether the jade bracelet was valuable, Su Mu didn’t need the clerk to say more.

The price was there for all to see, wasn’t it an obvious matter?

If he hadn’t seen the price, Su Mu wouldn’t have chosen this jade bracelet at all.

"This one, wrap it up, please."

Su Mu thought it was acceptable, so there was no need to ask his girlfriend’s opinion.

Su Mu could tell that Xuanxuan had definitely been "taught" by her mother.

It seemed his girlfriend wanted to save him some money today.

While his girlfriend might have that idea, Su Mu didn’t want to fulfill her wish in this regard.

Of course, Su Mu made the decision directly, saving Xuanxuan the trouble.

That’s what Su Mu kindly thought to himself.

In this way, even if Xuanxuan’s mother asked about it later, Xuanxuan shouldn’t have too much trouble, right?

After all, Su Mu hadn’t sought Xuanxuan’s opinion on this matter, so Xuanxuan could completely shirk responsibility.

"All right, sir, I’ll wrap it up for you right away."

After a brief shock, the clerk immediately reacted.

The clerk’s main surprise was seeing a customer buying something worth millions without even blinking an eye for the first time.

Typically, clients who come to Yu Yuan Jewelry Store to buy jade pieces, no matter how wealthy, still consider before making a purchase, don’t they?

Now here was this extremely handsome guy who didn’t hesitate at all to spend 6,660,000.

It would’ve been strange if the clerk wasn’t taken aback.

Fortunately, the clerk was quick to respond.

The shock lasted only a few seconds.

Seeing that the handsome guy had finalized the decision, the clerk didn’t give the beauty a chance to rebut and took over the conversation immediately.

In the clerk’s mind, the handsome guy was clearly the decision-maker today.

In other words, the handsome guy was her "God of Wealth" for the day.

When the God of Wealth had spoken, what business was it of anyone else?

Even if it was the God of Wealth’s girlfriend, she should step aside at the clerk’s heart at this time.

The clerk moved exceptionally fast, from grabbing the packaging box from behind the counter to wrapping it up, it took just a minute or two in total.

"Sir, the jade bracelet is packed, would you like to pay with a card or?"

Actually, the clerk’s question was a bit superfluous, 6,660,000, if not by card, could it be in cash?

Jiang Xinxuan was completely baffled by the clerk’s series of actions.

Shouldn’t the payment be made before the packaging?

Was the clerk putting the cart before the horse with her actions?

A customer hasn’t even paid yet and the packaging is already done, was the clerk not afraid the customer might eventually not take it?

In fact, Jiang Xinxuan really misunderstood the clerk’s intentions.

The clerk wasn’t afraid that the handsome guy would back out or anything, because from the way he dressed, the clerk knew he was wealthy.

What the clerk feared was that the beauty beside the handsome guy might say something against the purchase.

Of course, the clerk also saw that even if the beauty opposed, it would most likely be ineffective.

She just didn’t want to take that risk.

Packing it directly seemed to the clerk to be the safest way.

Even if the beauty wanted to oppose, the clerk thought that she probably wouldn’t have a chance anymore.

The clerk internally applauded herself for her clever move.

"Card."

Su Mu hadn’t noticed or cared to notice the clerk’s little maneuver.

He took out the black card straight away, Su Mu’s attention was never wasted on unnecessary details.

"All right, sir, miss, please wait a moment."

The clerk respectfully took the black card from the handsome guy’s hand and congratulated herself internally once again.

The clerk felt her ability to judge people was getting sharper.

Just as she thought, the handsome guy was no ordinary rich second generation— he actually had a black card.

This was very rare, and you could say the clerk had never seen it before.

The typical rich second generation just gets a bit more spending money from their family.

How could they possibly have a black card?

And the clerk’s guess was very accurate.

Like Jiang Xinxuan, a rich second generation, it was impossible for him to have a black card.

"Su Mu..."

Watching the clerk skillfully turn around to swipe the card, Jiang Xinxuan even if wanting to stop, couldn’t find the words to do so.

The bracelet was already packed; Jiang Xinxuan couldn’t persuade Su Mu not to take it, could she?

Such a loss of face would never occur to someone like Jiang Xinxuan.

She could only see now why the clerk hadn’t followed standard procedure today.

In Jiang Xinxuan’s eyes, Yu Yuan Jewelry Store’s clerk had quite a few cunning tricks up her sleeve.

If Jiang Xinxuan was just an onlooker, she’d be applauding the clerk’s shrewdness.

Jiang Xinxuan understood, the deal for the jade bracelet was settled.

Maybe Jiang Xinxuan called out to Su Mu just because she felt a bit reluctant.

"Sir, here is your card, please keep it safe."

"And this is the invoice, would you like to put it directly into the gift box?"

The clerk handed back Su Mu’s black card with both hands.

As for the invoice, according to normal procedure, it should be placed with the jade bracelet.

Moreover, the clerk thought that if the handsome guy was buying such an expensive bracelet as a gift, it should be made known to the recipient how much it cost.

Although the handsome guy’s girlfriend had been looking on all the while, there would be no worry her mother wouldn’t know the price of the bracelet in the end.

But placing the invoice with the bracelet would also make it more convenient for the future owner of the bracelet if they ever wanted to deal with it.

So, the clerk "kindly" made this suggestion.

Of course, the specific decision was still up to the handsome guy.

"Just put it in there," Su Mu said without hesitation.

Since Xuanxuan knew the price anyway, there was nothing to hide.

And, of course, there was no need to hide it.
