Chapter 358 A Shopping Spree! The Provincial Capital's Treasury Was Exploded
Times Square is the most bustling commercial center in the provincial capital.
Jiang Chen got out of the driver's seat.
He didn't even take the car keys out of the ignition.
He casually pulled a thick wad of hundred-yuan bills from his pocket, didn't even look at them, and threw them directly to the dumbfounded valet parking attendant next to him.
"Here's your car. Park it anywhere. You don't have to pay for any scratches or scrapes."
After saying that, he put his hands in his pockets and swaggered toward the Chow Tai Fook Gold and Jewelry Trading Center, the largest in the province and boasting the largest gold reserves.
The entire trading center, spanning three floors, is decorated in a magnificent and opulent style, resembling a real palace.
The huge crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling was so bright it could blind people.
The air was filled with the scent of expensive perfumes mixed with the smell of money.
The saleswomen here all wear elaborate makeup and expensive uniforms.
Their eyes are sharper than the most sophisticated radar.
With just a glance, one can roughly judge the wealth of a guest entering the room.
Jiang Chen was still wearing his signature outfit today.
A slightly faded cotton short-sleeved shirt, a pair of brightly colored shorts, and flip-flops on her feet.
This outfit created a stark, even jarring, contrast with the wealthy and influential guests around him.
He had just stepped through the gate.
The smiles on the faces of several saleswomen who had been chatting and laughing near the entrance vanished instantly.
They all simultaneously showed expressions of disgust, turned their faces away, and pretended to organize the jewelry in their respective display cases.
No one was willing to approach this country bumpkin who looked like he'd just come from collecting junk at a construction site.
A tall woman, wearing 10-centimeter stilettos and a "Lobby Manager" nameplate on her chest, swayed her hips as she walked over.
Her face was covered in exquisite makeup, but the contempt in her eyes was undisguised.
The woman stretched out her hand, painted with bright red nail polish, and blocked Jiang Chen's path with a forced smile.
"Hello, sir."
Her voice was high-pitched and thin, with a hint of superiority.
"This is a high-end jewelry shopping area; we do not offer tours."
"If you need to use the restroom, turn left after you go out and walk 50 meters, there is a public restroom there."
After she finished speaking, she even went so far as to fan her nose with her hand, gently waving away the non-existent odor.
That action was incredibly insulting.
Jiang Chen didn't even glance at her.
He walked straight past her and went to the very center of the hall, to the huge display case where the store's prized possessions were displayed.
Inside the display case, a massive gold brick weighing five kilograms and with a purity of 9999 rubles gleamed brilliantly under the lights.
Jiang Chen gently tapped on the thick bulletproof glass.
Boom!Boom!
The crisp sound attracted the attention of everyone around.
"I'll take this one."
Jiang Chen's tone was as calm as if he were buying a head of cabbage at the market.
Upon hearing this, the lobby manager was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.
She laughed so hard she was shaking, and looked at Jiang Chen as if he were a madman who had just escaped from a mental hospital.
"Sir, you're not joking, are you?"
She mocked him sarcastically.
"This is a non-sale item of our group, used to showcase our strength! Do you know how much the craftsmanship of this gold brick alone cost? Several million!"
"Are you out of your mind for money? Don't you even know where you are?"
Several saleswomen nearby joined in with whispered snickers and laughter.
Just then.
Behind the counter, a young intern, who looked like she had just started working and still had a somewhat green look on her face, walked over with a blush on her face.
She felt a little guilty seeing the manager humiliating the customer like that.
"manager……"
She spoke softly, trying to smooth things over.
The little girl was very nervous.
"This gentleman may be dressed plainly, but what if... what if he has some hidden story? Your words are quite hurtful to his self-esteem. Perhaps I should go and get him a glass of water."
However, before she could finish speaking...
Jiang Chen moved.
He looked impatient as he reached into the pocket of those brightly colored, baggy shorts.
He pulled out the Supreme Black Card, a symbol of his terrifying wealth, issued by UBS with a global limited edition of no more than ten cards!
Snapped!
A crisp sound!
Jiang Chen slammed the black card onto the cold glass counter.
The card was entirely black, exuding a low-key yet luxurious matte texture.
On the card, a lifelike flying dragon, carved with dark gold threads, appears and disappears under the light.
The arrogant and domineering lobby manager from just now!
The smile on her face froze instantly!
She stared at the card on the counter, the top-tier black card that only existed in legends, a card that even a manager of her level had only seen pictures of in internal training materials!
Her pupils contracted sharply at that moment!
My legs went weak, my knees trembled uncontrollably, and I almost knelt on the ground!
Jiang Chen completely ignored her.
He turned his head and looked at the young intern next to him, the only one who had shown him kindness, who was now also stunned.
Jiang Chen's voice remained calm, yet carried an undeniable air of command.
"go."
"Bring over the person in charge here, your bank manager."
"I don't buy these scraps."
Jiang Chen pointed to the display case full of gold jewelry, as if he were looking at a pile of garbage.
"Take me to your underground vault."
"Today, I'm going to buy all the gold bars you currently have here!"
