[Ding! Reminder to the host: There are four days left until the mission ends.]

Time is running out.

Fortunately, Gu Ji was overjoyed when he saw Wen Yao's attitude and wished he could take it upon himself to agree to the matter.

"However, I won't be staying in Ubon for long, because I recently set my sights on another desert..."

Before Wen Yao could finish speaking, Gu Ji said anxiously.

"NO NO NO Miss Wen, please take back your words."

We in Ubon are very hospitable, and Ubon has the most sunshine in the world, so please choose us. Also, I'll arrange for you to meet the mayor immediately!

Guji was afraid that this big spender would leave.

He managed to fabricate all these lies in one go; I don't know if he's genuinely ignorant or just being glib.

"Please take a rest. The mayor will be here soon."

Watching Gu Ji operate the phone, Wen Yao said something to Song Zhiqian in Longguo language.

"See? He's not just an ordinary manager; he even has the mayor's phone number."

Song Zhiqian couldn't understand what they were just babbling about.

"The mayor? He can even summon the mayor?"

Wen Yao nodded.

Although Ubang is small, the mayor of Jincheng certainly won't be able to come anytime soon, so Wen Yao plans to go out and continue shopping.

"Okay, you can keep making contacts, but could you please find me a tour guide? I'd like to wander around downstairs."

"Arrange it immediately."

There are tour guides at the hotel. Guji sent a message and a tour guide came.

"Ms. Wen, I hope you have a wonderful time in Ubon."

Then, the group followed the tour guide downstairs.

After arriving downstairs, Wen Yao passed by the Presidential Palace and took a deep look at it. She wished she could meet the president. What right did the mayor have to speak on such a major matter as buying and selling desert?

But meeting the mayor was just one step in her plan; next, she intended to continue spending money.

The group got into the van that the bodyguards had prepared earlier.

Seeing that she had money, the tour guide took her directly to a jewelry store.

Ubon is also rich in gemstones, in all colors.

Upon entering, one notices that most of the sales staff in the store are men.

The shop was decorated very luxuriously, with various crystals and gems displayed in the window. As soon as Wen Yao entered, a man came to greet her.

There aren't many people in Ubon now who can get this kind of job; most people have to pull strings to find a sales job.

"Sir, this is a very opportune time for you."

The man showed Song Zhiqian an emerald ring, and Song Zhiqian automatically ignored Wen Yao.

Because he couldn't believe that the leader of this group was actually a woman.

“Wen Yao, I think this is so tacky. Only my dad would wear this kind of thing.”

Song Zhiqian didn't appreciate it at all; he didn't quite like it and thought it was old-fashioned.

Wen Yao's dissatisfaction was evident on her face, and she gave the tour guide a wink.

"Hey, hey, hey, this lady is the boss."

The salesperson was shocked and looked at Wen Yao in disbelief. After learning that Wen Yao was the boss, his sales attitude became much more negative, and he went about wiping the glass window on his own.

Wen Yao had never seen such an arrogant sales attitude before.

She had never been treated like this before.

"Aren't there any other gem shops?!"

Wen Yao spoke sternly to the tour guide.

Seeing that Wen Yao was not easy to deal with, the tour guide quickly took her out and changed shops.

The shop had only one elderly owner, who was covered in jewels from head to toe. His hat was inlaid with an emerald, he wore pigeon blood red jewelry on his fingers, and his glasses were framed with crystals and gemstones of various colors, so dazzling that it hurt your eyes.

Those who come and go in this shopping mall are all wealthy people from Ubon or merchants from other countries who come to buy goods.

"Madam, would you like to see some gems?"

Although the boss wasn't particularly eloquent, at least he didn't offend Wen Yao.

Wen Yao pointed to a sapphire.

"how much is this?"

"1500."

Converted to Chinese Yuan, that's about 150,000. Wen Yao didn't know much about crystals and gemstones, but she knew without a doubt that the shop owner was ripping her off.

Ubang is rich in gemstones, and many mines are unowned, allowing even local people to go up the mountain to dig for them.

If it sells for this much in Ubon, it would probably cost hundreds of thousands elsewhere. Even in China, crystals costing hundreds of thousands wouldn't be of this quality.

"Okay, I'll buy it!"

Wen Yao took out her cross-border bank card.

Her goal today is to spend money, the more the better.

The shop owner was clearly waiting for Wen Yao to bargain. It was the first time he had seen such a "foolish" customer, so he immediately perked up.

"Madam, I've already wrapped it up for you. Would you like to take a look at this ruby? It's of excellent quality, a fixed price of 3000 million."

Wen Yao waved her little hand.

"Please wrap it up for me."

The boss then started packing.

"Miss, please take another look..."

Wen Yao raised her hand to interrupt him.

"How much are all the crystals in your shop window?"

The shop owner glanced down at the crystal gems in the display window, then at Wen Yao, pondering the price.

"5."

That's equivalent to five million Chinese Yuan.

"Okay, wrap it up for me."

The shop owner was overjoyed; the entire display window was sold out just like that.

He packed each item for Wen Yao one by one, creating several bags in total, all carried by bodyguards.

When I went out, the entrance was already crowded with various businesses.

Two bodyguards quickly blocked Wen Yao's path.

"Young Miss, be careful."

Wen Yao nodded and followed them cautiously forward.

"Boss, take a look at my gems."

As they approached the mall entrance, more and more people showed Wen Yao sacks full of gems.

This was the first time Wen Yao had ever seen gemstones being packed in burlap sacks.

"I just don't understand, are there really that many gems? If there are so many, why are they so expensive?"

Song Zhiqian complained from the side.

The closer you are to the mall entrance, the more people will come up to you to promote your products.

The tour guide began to introduce to Wen Yao

“Ms. Wen, you’d better not buy gems from these people. They don’t even have a shop in the mall. They’re just stall owners downstairs. They mine their own ore from the mountains, so there’s no guarantee of quality.”

Wen Yao could also tell that this group of people were extremely poor compared to the mall owner; some of them didn't even have shoes.

But these words made Wen Yao very uncomfortable.

She had just finished shopping when the shop owner slipped the tour guide a small tip.

Ordinary people are just trying to make a living. Why would someone slander another person just because they didn't receive a tip?

How much is this bag for you?

Wen Yao randomly grabbed someone and asked them a question.

"80."

Only eight thousand yuan!

This small bag must weigh at least five pounds.

However, the gems in this bag do not look as good as those in the shop.

But Wen Yao loved to reach into the bag and rummage around, making sure the bag was full of gems.
