Kicked out of a wealthy family? I became a rich and beautiful woman thanks to the system.

This time, it was Wen Yao's turn to be surprised.

"Mr. Ji, you actually know about Empress Dowager Cixi?"

"Of course! I buy every issue of Empress Dowager Cixi's magazine. It's expensive for a reason. Their designs are quite good. I need to keep learning in order to improve my skills and taste!"

Wen Yao couldn't help but exclaim in amazement; no wonder Old Man Ji's shop could attract so many young people.

Jiang Tang also felt that she had come to the right place.

"Then... Mr. Ji, can I learn from you in the future? I'll pay the tuition!"

Jiang Tang's eyes lit up with anticipation, mainly because there were so many fun things in Old Man Ji's shop.

Every piece of clothing perfectly matched Jiang Tang's aesthetic preferences.

Next, Jiang Tang and Old Man Ji chatted, while Wen Yao squatted on the ground playing with Ji Fu.

About half an hour later, Jiang Tang and Old Man Ji had reached an agreement.

Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Tang took Wen Yao's arm and left.

Jiang Tang had never been to such a narrow alley before, so she was filled with curiosity the whole way.

[Ding! Consumption Task! The host needs to spend 700 million within a specified time. Time limit: 70 minutes!]

Wen Yao was taken aback when she heard about the mission.

Looking around, I saw that the area was mostly small shops, so it would be quite difficult to spend 700 million.

"Wen Yao, what are you looking at?"

Seeing Wen Yao looking distracted, Jiang Tang couldn't help but ask her what was wrong.

"Oh, I'm looking for places to spend money. You know, sometimes when my urge to spend money kicks in, I just can't help it."

Jiang Tang was very clear about this; she had known about it before.

"Hey, look, it looks like a jade market up ahead."

Wen Yao pointed to the street in front of her.

The entire street was lined with jade shops of all sizes, as well as stalls selling jade outside, making it very lively.

Jiang Tang frowned.

"This kind of place looks unreliable. What if they scam you?"

If you really want to buy jade, I'll take you to a more reliable place.

Wen Yao didn't care whether it was reliable or not; spending the money as soon as possible was the most important thing.

"Oh well, just treat it as buying a toy to play with. Maybe there will be some unexpected surprises?"

As she spoke, Wen Yao pulled Jiang Tang into a shop.

The owner was the only person in the shop.

The boss looked Wen Yao and Jiang Tang up and down. Both girls looked very young and were probably novices.

"Gentlemen, is there anything you need?"

Wen Yao looked around.

This shop has a fairly complete selection, including bracelets, rings, and pendants.

"Boss, do you have any better quality stock?"

The boss immediately recognized the opportunity.

“Oh, young lady, you’ve come to the right place. Look at this hairpin, it’s emerald green, perfect for young people like you.”

Then the boss lowered his voice and said

"I sell it to others for 2000 yuan, but judging from your appearance, you must be college students, so I'll sell it to you for 1800 yuan!"

Wen Yao pursed her lips, thinking the boss was going to quote a high price.

Jiang Tang was also very surprised.

"So cheap? I might as well buy it and play with it."

The boss was taken aback when he heard Jiang Tang speak like that.

"Then... I'll wrap it up for you?"

Wen Yao was somewhat disappointed.

It looks like we'll have to clear out this whole street before we can spend a few million.

"Boss, how much is that vase in your cabinet?"

Wen Yao pointed to the most eye-catching emerald green bottle in the glass cabinet.

"Oh my, this is my store's prized possession. It'll cost you six figures!"

The boss had no intention of selling it to Wen Yao.

Those who usually come to him to buy these things are big bosses.

Wen Yao doesn't look like a big boss at all.

"Okay, then you name your price, and I'll buy it!"

The boss raised an eyebrow, somewhat suspicious.

"70! Will you buy it or not?!"

He casually quoted a relatively high price, not really expecting Wen Yao to buy it.

"I'll swipe my card now!"

To everyone's surprise, Wen Yao actually took out her bank card and paid the bill in just a few minutes.

The boss's face lit up with a big smile.

"Alright, alright, miss, I'll wrap it up for you right away."

The boss immediately ran over and packed up the vase.

Some vendors outside saw that Wen Yao had bought the store's prized possession.

So they all brought their own products and went door-to-door to sell them.

"Miss, look at this bracelet. It's an imperial green jade bracelet. Not everyone shows it to others."

Wen Yao didn't even glance at the bracelet.

"Wait a minute! I came to the jade market today specifically to make a purchase. I only want high-quality items; don't show me anything below 20 yuan."

As soon as these words were spoken, they spread like wildfire, and shop owners all over the street brought out their more expensive items.

Wen Yao accepted them all without looking at them much.

The street was immediately packed with people.

"Wen Yao, you bought so much stuff?"

Wen Yao was already carrying too much, so Jiang Tang helped to share some of the load.

"Oh, I'm so happy! Maybe I'll actually find some good stuff."

Jiang Tang bit her lip. She didn't know what good stuff was, but she always felt that the things in her hands were different from those at home.

"Boss, take a look at this string of Buddhist prayer beads in my hand. I just bought it back, and it's definitely top-quality stuff!"

"Boss, my family specializes in making rings. I have everything you want. Please take a look at this batch I have here first."

"Boss, the best stuff has to be here with me..."

Seeing that Wen Yao was quick to pay and knew nothing about the goods, the shop owners all brought out their own items to display.

Those with a conscience took some high-quality goods and added a little extra price.

Some unscrupulous ones have already started charging exorbitant prices.

However, Wen Yao didn't care much about these things today and took them all into her possession.

All the way to the end of the alley.

Wen Yao and Jiang Tang were already carrying large and small bags.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully completed the mission!]

Quest Reward: Ten bolts of rare soft silk gauze have been placed in your room at Xishan Mansion!

Soft silk gauze? Wen Yao had never heard of it, and she had no need for it.

"Jiang Tang, come with me back to my home in Xishan Prefecture."

"Otherwise, you can't carry all these things back by yourself."

Jiang Tang was completely won over by Wen Yao's shopping desires; she was also a girl who loved shopping.

But Wen Yao's shopping addiction was extremely crazy in her eyes.

"Wen Yao, you're exaggerating. You're like an addict when it comes to buying things, as if you'll get sick if you don't buy them."

Wen Yao didn't know how to answer for a moment; it was indeed incomprehensible to ordinary people.

"That's true to some extent. When I was a child, I didn't have much money, so now that I have money, I've started to spend it like a 'revenge' spending spree."

"And once the addiction kicks in, I have to spend the money. If I don't, I feel uneasy, and I might even have to see a doctor."
