Major Crimes Unit Starts with Police Academy Students

"This necklace really suits you. You'll see for yourself when you look in the mirror. You look so beautiful in it!"

Xiang Yuxi looked at herself in the mirror and realized that she really loved the necklace after putting it on.

Just as Wu Mingcheng was about to speak, a man and a woman walked in from outside.

The man was burly and broad-shouldered, with a thick gold necklace around his neck, a large gold ring on his hand, and a black leather bag slung over his waist.

This is a classic example of the nouveau riche of this era, dressed as if they want everyone to know they're wealthy.

Beside the nouveau riche was a woman dressed flamboyantly, who clung tightly to his arm.

And so, the two of them swaggered in.

The woman then said in a sweet, coquettish voice,

"Brother Guo, you've been saying you'd buy her that new necklace for ages, but you haven't yet."

Brother Guo said very generously.

"Oh dear, I'm always so busy at the construction site, how could I possibly find the time?"

Okay, I'll spend some quality time with you today, my little darling. It's just a necklace, right? I'll buy it for you no matter what."

Just then, a sales assistant came out from behind the counter and warmly greeted them.

This was in stark contrast to when Wu Mingcheng and his companion had come in and ignored them.

She stepped forward and said in a fawning tone,

"Sir, Madam, what would you two like to see?"

The woman then said...

"Didn't you guys find Cobaup annoying because they released a classic necklace design?"

"I've had my eye on that one for ages, and I'm going to buy it today."

Then, the woman said to the man,

"Darling, what do you say?"

The man immediately said,

"Of course, no problem. As long as my darling is happy, what's a little money?"

Upon hearing this, the woman immediately grabbed the nouveau riche's arm tightly and said,

“Darling, you’re so good to me,”

The nouveau riche immediately felt very proud and said to the saleswoman...

"Which necklace is my darling talking about? Hurry up and get it out!"

The sales assistant immediately said,

"Please come this way, both of you."

As she spoke, she led the two nouveau riche men to Wu Mingcheng and his companion's side.

Then, as if no one else was around, he tried to take the necklace that Wu Mingcheng and the others were looking at.

At this moment, Wu Mingcheng stopped her and said,

"There has to be a first-come, first-served order, right? We saw this necklace first,"

The saleswoman scoffed.

"I can tell you're a poor student. Are you sure you can afford such an expensive necklace?"

If I'm not mistaken, all your clothes probably cost less than 500 yuan.

If you don't have money, don't come to places like this. Trying to win a girl's heart like other people do.

Wu Mingcheng shook his head helplessly; his entire outfit was indeed rather unremarkable.

Because his usual clothes are mostly from HL brand, or some sportswear, such as those from Red Star Pediatrics.

However, the saleswoman in front of him wasn't worth Wu Mingcheng getting angry with.

So he said to the nouveau riche,

"I'm so sorry, I'll take this necklace. Why don't you look at another one?"

The woman next to the nouveau riche took a liking to the necklace and kept nagging at it.

"Honey, I don't care, I just love this, I want this necklace!"

The nouveau riche then reassured them,

"Okay, okay, okay, baby, you're in charge for the next 5 or 6 days. I'll buy you whatever you want."

Then, he looked at the saleswoman next to him and said,

"Did those two young people pay?"

The sales assistant quickly smiled apologetically and said...

"No, no, they just looked at it, they haven't decided to buy it yet."

Besides, they don't seem like people who could afford such an expensive necklace.

Xiaoli, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and interjected.

"Ma'am, this gentleman and lady looked at it first, and they haven't decided whether they're not going to buy it yet,"

The saleswoman glared at Xiaoli and immediately scolded her.

"You're new here, what do you know? Do you even have the right to speak?"

Chapter 164 Dealing with the Nouveau Riche

The nouveau riche took out a bank card from his bag and then said,

"That makes sense. These two people haven't paid yet. If I let you swipe your card now, the necklace will be mine, right?"

Wu Mingcheng wanted to buy this necklace for Xiang Yuxi. He had been in a hurry to return from Green Vine City and hadn't bought Xiang Yuxi a gift yet.

He wanted to say something more, but Xiang Yuxi clearly didn't want Wu Mingcheng to spend so much money.

So Xiang Yuxi advised,

"Mingcheng, let's forget about it. Let him have the necklace, and we can look at something else."

Seeing this, the saleswoman scoffed.

"Oh my, these young people nowadays are all dressed up so smartly!"

"What a pain in the ass! They clearly can't afford it, yet they're still pretending!"

As soon as Xiang Yuxi opened her mouth, the nouveau riche next to her looked over and was instantly attracted to her.

Xiang Yuxi's beauty was naturally incomparable to those common beauties outside.

The nouveau riche had clearly grown tired of the 16 flamboyantly dressed women around him.

Now, Xiang Yuxi, a pure yet sexy schoolgirl-like beauty beside Wu Mingcheng, is clearly more attractive to him.

He looked at Xiang Yuxi with lecherous eyes, then unconsciously revealed a wicked smile and said...

"Little sister, you wanted this necklace? You should have told me sooner! I would have bought it for you, how about that?"

Upon hearing the nouveau riche's words, Xiang Yuxi immediately refused.

"I'm sorry, I never take things from other people without permission."

At this moment, the woman next to the nouveau riche saw him flirting with Yu Xi and immediately became displeased.

She shook the nouveau riche's arm and said coquettishly,

“Darling,”

Unexpectedly, the nouveau riche suddenly shook off the woman's arm and said,

"Aren't you annoying? Get out of the way, can't you see I'm talking to someone?"

The woman felt a surge of anger upon hearing the nouveau riche's words, but she dared not show it.

She pouted, stomped her foot, and looked away with a displeased expression.

At this moment, Wu Mingcheng stepped forward and said,

"Sir, her boyfriend is still standing here. I'll buy my girlfriend whatever she wants, so you don't need to worry about it."

When Xiang Yuxi heard Wu Mingcheng say that she was his girlfriend, she felt a surge of sweetness in her heart.

To everyone's surprise, the nouveau riche, after hearing Wu Mingcheng's words, gave him a disdainful look and didn't say anything to him.

He genuinely believed that a fresh-faced college graduate like Wu Mingcheng was utterly outmatched by a wealthy tycoon like himself.

He said to Xiang Yuxi,

"Hey beautiful, I can tell you're students from the nearby university town. How much money do students have?"

Then, he looked at the saleswoman and asked,

How much does this necklace cost?
