"Friendly reminder, when completing this task, the consumer must be by your side."
Before Shen Nanyi could flare up, the system spoke again. This time, Shen Nanyi really wanted to punch someone. Did this mean that she not only had to complete the task within the specified time but also spend money with her father by her side?
Life was already hard enough, and now she had to let Shen Yi see her spending money like crazy. She probably wouldn't see the sun tomorrow.
"Can I decline?"
Shen Nanyi still wanted to struggle a bit. After all, she really couldn't imagine how Shen Yi would react if he saw her spending money so wildly. She might even worry that he would be so angry that he would pass out.
She hoped to negotiate with the system. Spending money was okay, but the key was whether Shen Yi could be spared from witnessing it.
"Yes, but your beauty points will be deducted."
The system replied indifferently and then fell silent. All that was left was the countdown ticking in Shen Nanyi's mind.
Looking at the countdown, Shen Nanyi slumped back in her seat, resigned and looking utterly dejected.
"Dad, let's go to the mall."
Since things had come to this, what else could she do? Of course, she had to take Shen Yi shopping and spending.
Shen Yi already knew that his daughter liked shopping, so he wasn't overly surprised. He took Shen Nanyi to the mall, never imagining that she would spend money so extravagantly.
Although he had heard of Shen Nanyi's spending records before, it was not the same as witnessing it firsthand. He simply couldn't fathom the current situation.
"The task funds haven't been given to me yet!"
When they reached the entrance of the mall, Shen Nanyi finally remembered something. It couldn't be what she was thinking, could it?
Was the system expecting her to spend her own money?
"That money just now was the task funds. You asked for it yourself."
This time, the system didn't stay silent. It quickly replied, with a hint of schadenfreude.
Shen Nanyi was stunned. She had an urge to hit herself. Wasn't this like lifting a rock only to drop it on her own foot?
She had come up with so many reasons in her mind, but one sentence from the system left her speechless.
Fortunately, this money was for Shen Yi to spend. Thinking of this, Shen Nanyi felt a lot more at ease.
In the downtown area, there was only one high - end shopping place that Shen Nanyi knew of, Henglong. Father and daughter walked straight in.
Shen Yi worked in a state - owned unit, so there were certain requirements for his dressing. At first, Shen Nanyi wanted to buy a watch for Shen Yi. It was simple, straightforward, easy to complete the task, and highly practical.
However, considering Shen Yi's work environment, Shen Nanyi finally gave up and had to think of another way.
Entering the mall, there were various brands on display. Shen Nanyi first stopped in front of a few stores she often visited but didn't stay long.
The goods were good, but the logos were too prominent and not suitable for Shen Yi.
After walking for a while, Shen Nanyi stopped in front of a store, Ralph Lauren. The few clothes displayed in the window instantly caught Shen Nanyi's eye. She pulled Shen Yi in.
"Welcome. What can I do for you two today?"
As soon as they entered the store, a salesperson came over. Different from most stores where there were more female salespeople, most of the salespeople here were men. They had excellent height and proportions, looking more like walking clothes hangers.
Ralph Lauren was a niche and luxury brand. Its designer, Ralph Lauren, was one of the most famous designers in the world.
The store mainly sold men's business suits, which were also suitable for Shen Yi. Almost as soon as they entered the store, Shen Nanyi had her eyes on this place.
"Do you have this suit in the right size? Please get one for him to try on."
Having bought so many good things, Shen Nanyi knew at a glance what was good. She immediately set her eyes on a set of RLX Gregory twill suits in the center of the store.
Shen Nanyi was young, so at first, the salesperson didn't pay much attention to her. It wasn't until Shen Nanyi spoke that the salesperson noticed her.
Just out of school, Shen Nanyi was still wearing the uniform of a well - known aristocratic kindergarten nearby.
"Sure. Please wait a moment."
Without any suspicion, the salesperson immediately went to get the clothes. Shen Yi wanted to check the price but couldn't find it.
Used to shopping in affordable malls where prices were clearly marked, the sudden concealment of the price made Shen Yi feel a bit uneasy.
Shen Yi wanted to ask about the price, but Shen Nanyi pushed him into the fitting room.
Before he knew it, Shen Yi was already in the fitting room changing clothes.
While Shen Yi was changing, Shen Nanyi walked around the store and picked out a few shirts.
Not long after, Shen Yi came out in the new clothes. The high - end tailoring instantly made Shen Yi look a few centimeters taller.
"I'll take these. Here's my card."
Almost as soon as Shen Yi came out, Shen Nanyi took out her card and was ready to pay. The salesperson quickly took the card to the front desk.
"How much is this suit?"
After that, Shen Yi still couldn't help but ask the salesperson beside him.
"The suit you're wearing is our new product this season. It's handmade and tailored. The price is 165,000 yuan."
Rarely encountering such a generous customer, the salesperson became even more enthusiastic.
"… No."
"Here's your receipt. Please keep it."
Startled by the price of the suit, Shen Yi took a while to react and say something. Before he could finish, the salesperson had already retrieved the receipt.
"Can I…" Shen Yi still wanted to struggle. This was almost half a year's salary for him.
"Dad, you look so handsome in this suit."
Just in time, Shen Nanyi came out. She reached out her hands and asked Shen Yi to hug her. Subconsciously, Shen Yi picked her up.
Lying on Shen Yi's shoulder, Shen Nanyi's chubby little hand reached for the collar of Shen Yi's suit. Before Shen Yi could react, she tore off the price tag.
Now there was no way for Shen Yi to return the suit. He could only accept it reluctantly.
Shen Yi wanted the salesperson to pack the suit for him. It was so expensive that he would feel uncomfortable wearing it. But he couldn't resist Shen Nanyi's persuasion.
Gritting his teeth, Shen Yi decided to keep wearing the suit and show off when he got home.
Wearing such an expensive suit, Shen Yi even felt a bit light - headed when he walked.
"Random task completed. Reward: 1 health point, which can be used on someone with an intimacy level of over 90."
Finally, when they were at the entrance of the shopping mall, the system's voice sounded. Shen Nanyi heaved a sigh of relief.
She was quite satisfied with the system's reward this time. Both Zhao Qingyuan and the others were getting old, and this health point might come in handy someday.
On the way home, Shen Yi still felt like it was all a dream. When he entered the house, he deliberately looked at himself in the mirror at the door and thought he looked really handsome.
"Look how good this suit looks. Guess how much it costs?"
Spinning around, Shen Yi really wanted to share this with Zhao Shuyan. He wanted someone else to share his shock.
"Okay."
Zhao Shuyan replied calmly. Having seen the world, this kind of thing hardly interested her.
After waiting for so long, Shen Yi didn't expect Zhao Shuyan to be so calm. He took out the price tag that Shen Nanyi had torn off from his bag, determined to give Zhao Shuyan a good shock.
