"What can I do to make you trust me?" Shen Ye asked with a soft chuckle, looking at Shen Nanyi playfully.
That look in his eyes seemed familiar to Shen Nanyi. It was as if she had seen it somewhere before, but she just couldn't recall.
With the task at hand, Shen Nanyi didn't have the time to dwell on it. She picked up on Shen Ye's words and said, "I think there's nothing better than spending money to show one's financial strength. What do you think?"
Thinking about her task, Shen Nanyi knew she had to be thick - skinned. Otherwise, there was no way she could complete it.
Ji Beichuan stood to one side, his brows furrowing deeper as he listened. His little girl was actually going to spend someone else's money? And that someone was a man! How could he stand this?
"Interesting. Since you've said so, let's go. No matter what you take a fancy to today, I'll foot the bill." Shen Ye readily agreed. To him at the moment, money was nothing.
As long as he wanted, he could easily earn tens of millions for a single movie shoot.
As a man himself, Ji Beichuan clearly sensed the faint trace of indulgence in Shen Ye's tone. His look towards Shen Ye grew even more hostile.
Shen Ye gave Ji Beichuan a fleeting glance and quickly retracted his gaze, his smile broadening.
After all that talk, this was exactly what Shen Nanyi had been waiting for. As soon as Shen Ye agreed, she dashed straight into a nearby tea shop.
On this top floor, there were no clothing or shoe stores. Going downstairs would be a waste of time, and time was the most precious thing to Shen Nanyi.
Ordinary tea wasn't very expensive, but a tea shop on the top floor of Hang Lung Plaza was definitely different. Otherwise, it wouldn't even be able to afford the rent.
As she entered the shop, a faint tea aroma wafted over, a scent she couldn't quite name but that made her feel completely at ease.
In her previous life, Shen Nanyi came from a top - tier wealthy family and had drunk a lot of tea. To some extent, she was more sensitive than ordinary tea tasters. Just based on this aroma, she knew she had come to the right place.
Good tea was more valuable than gold. It wouldn't be difficult to spend over a million in a short time. With this in mind, Shen Nanyi quickened her steps.
"Excuse me, do you have a reservation?" The receptionist was a pretty young girl in a vintage tea robe. With the antique - style decoration, it really had a touch of the charm of the Republic of China era.
Even Shen Nanyi, who had lived through the Republic of China, felt a bit dazed. It took her a while to come to her senses. "Excuse me, do you sell your tea?"
Finally remembering her purpose, Shen Nanyi quickly asked, her bright eyes fixed on the receptionist.
A lot of high - end teahouses didn't sell their products to the public.
"Sorry, we..." "We do sell! We do!" Just as the girl was about to decline politely, the manager of the tea shop rushed over and interrupted her.
Out of breath from rushing, he stole a glance at Ji Beichuan.
He had been entertaining a customer just now and from afar, he thought the man looked like the boss. He rushed over in a hurry, and it turned out he was right.
Ji Beichuan had seen him too, but had been waving his hand. Not knowing Ji Beichuan's temper, the manager didn't dare to say much and could only play it by ear.
"Do you have Jin瓜 Gongcha?" Searching through all the names of tea in her mind, Shen Nanyi named the most expensive one.
If she could finish the task easily, why bother with quantity?
"Yes, please follow me." Since Shen Nanyi could name this tea, the manager knew this was no ordinary situation. He led the three of them to a private room.
If it were someone else asking for Jin瓜 Gongcha, there wouldn't be any. But Ji Beichuan was different. He had just noticed that the boss's eyes were constantly lingering on the girl in front of him. It was obvious that there was something going on.
The three of them entered the private room. Soon, the tea - shop manager came in person, carrying a jar in his hand with extreme caution.
No kidding. What he was holding was hundreds of times more precious than gold. If he accidentally dropped it, he would probably never be able to pay for it in his lifetime.
Jin瓜 Gongcha was the most precious tea. A few years ago, its auction price had reached 350,000 yuan per 100 grams. It was not only more expensive than gold but also much pricier than diamonds.
The small jar in front of them, if converted into diamonds, could probably be exchanged for several catties.
"Currently, our price is 500,000... 400,000... maybe 200,000 yuan per 100 grams. How much would you like?" When quoting the price, the manager kept looking at Ji Beichuan, not knowing what price was appropriate.
Seeing Ji Beichuan's face getting darker and darker, the manager gritted his teeth and gave a rock - bottom price. After that, he didn't dare to look at Ji Beichuan.
The price was already low enough. If Ji Beichuan wanted it even cheaper, there was really nothing he could do!
"... We'll take one catty. Please pack it for us. This handsome guy will pay." Shen Nanyi wasn't without doubts, but she didn't want to dig deeper. She just wanted to complete the task cleanly.
Although a bit shocked by the price of the tea, Shen Ye didn't hesitate. He quickly took out his bank card and handed it over.
Seeing Shen Ye hand over his bank card, Shen Nanyi thought the matter was settled. She sat there, waiting for the system to announce the completion of the task.
Ji Beichuan sat beside her, silent. He calmly took out his phone, pressed a few buttons, and then put it back, as if nothing had happened.
The manager returned very quickly, so quickly that Shen Nanyi could hardly contain her joy at the impending completion of the task.
"Miss Shen, the receptionist just told me that you're the one - thousandth customer of our shop. So this time, your consumption is on us. We hope you'll have a pleasant mood." As the manager spoke, Shen Nanyi's smile gradually froze on her face.
Pleasant? What a load of crap!
