Super-rich: Spending money is just a job!

That morning, Cuiling and Xiaomeng went out together. Cuiling sat on a small stool by the door to change her shoes. She was wearing a pair of sneakers, and as soon as she put her feet in, she shifted her toes uncomfortably. "Why are sneakers these days such poor quality? I don't think I've worn these shoes much, only washed them twice. How could they have shrunk so much?"

Xiaomeng was a little confused. "How could sneakers shrink?"

"I don't know either. This is the first time I've worn sneakers that have shrunk. Last month when I wore these shoes, they felt quite loose. But today when I wore them, they felt a bit tight. So I'm wondering if these shoes have shrunk?" Cui Ling replied.

"Who cares? If you think they're too tight, I'll just buy you another pair."

"Sigh, don't waste money. These shoes are a little tight, but they're still wearable. You don't need to buy me any more, okay? Besides, we have a whole bunch of shoes at home that are still wearable." Cui Ling was afraid that Xiao Meng would listen to her and suddenly decide to buy more shoes.

"Oh, I see." Xiaomeng didn't argue with her sister, but put on a pair of shoes and followed her sister out the door.

As Xiaomeng walked behind her older sister down the stairs, she suddenly realized that her sister might have grown a little taller. The reference point was the couplet on the neighbor's door downstairs. Clearly, when her sister walked past the couplet, she was blocking half a character from view.

[Oh no, it seems the height-increasing pills I took a while ago are working.] Xiaomeng suddenly realized where the problem lay.

A while ago, she did a task and opened a pill blind box as a system reward, and got a height-increasing pill.

Xiaomeng was afraid that if she ate the pill, she would grow too tall, so she divided the pill in two, ate one half herself, and secretly gave the other half to her older sister.

That way, when I grow taller, my older sister will also grow taller, and then she won't notice anything unusual.

When a person grows taller, it's not just their height that increases; their feet must also grow longer.

No wonder my sister said her shoes had shrunk. It turns out her shoes hadn't shrunk; her feet had just grown a little longer.

Fortunately, both sisters wore wide-leg pants in winter, otherwise the older sister would have suspected that all her pants had shrunk.

As for why Xiaomeng didn't notice that her shoes were too short, it was entirely because she had been wearing a pair of Prada sheepskin slippers that cost over 9000 yuan recently. With these kinds of slippers, you don't really feel if your feet are a little longer or shorter.

Xiaomeng silently noted down the brand and style of the shoes her older sister was wearing.

She'll go online and find a pair of the same style in a larger size later, and secretly swap them for her sister so she won't notice her feet have grown longer.

Xiaomeng watched her older sister ride her electric scooter off to open the shop, then found a large supermarket and went inside.

Nowadays, most supermarkets have height and weight measuring devices that can be used by scanning a code.

Xiaomeng stepped up to measure her height and found that she had grown 5 centimeters. She is now 1.6 meters tall.

She was glad she only ate half of the pill; if she had eaten the whole one, wouldn't she have grown 10 centimeters?

These pills are really effective! I wonder how many more they and their sister will take, and how much taller they can grow. Hehe.

Xiaomeng was happily holding the height and weight slip printed out by the machine when she suddenly received a call from Attorney Deng.

“Xiaomeng, at the auction last time, didn’t my old friend say she wanted to offer you a chance to have a custom-made piece of jewelry? She’s the one who bought that big opal from you last time.”

Xiao Meng suddenly remembered that at the last auction, she had directly traded a huge 50-carat opal with someone, and that stone was still lying in her spatial "safe." "Oh, I remember now, I almost forgot about the custom jewelry."

Attorney Deng chuckled on the other end of the phone, "That's right, they're holding a high-end client jewelry appreciation event tomorrow."

My old friend invited us over to have some fun, grab a bite to eat, and while we're at it, to finalize your opal customization and get a design proposal from them.

What is a high-end client jewelry appreciation event? Xiaomeng had never heard of it before.

Judging from the literal meaning, it seems to be some kind of jewelry exhibition or event.

This was another chance to broaden her horizons, and Xiaomeng immediately agreed.

Xiaomeng asked Attorney Deng, "Attorney Deng, are there any special dress requirements for attending that appreciation event?"

Attorney Deng replied cheerfully, "No, there are no special requirements. Just wear whatever you like."

However, we older folks love seeing young girls dressed in bright and cheerful clothes; it brings us joy.

The next morning around 10 a.m., the car that Attorney Deng sent to pick up Xiaomeng arrived at the gate of her residential compound.

As Xiaomeng approached the Hongqi car, the back door opened, revealing Lawyer Deng sitting in the back.

Attorney Deng waved to Xiaomeng from the back seat, "Xiaomeng, come quick! Let's go see some fun together today."

Xiao Meng greeted Attorney Deng and got into the car, only to find that Attorney Lang was driving and Xia was sitting in the passenger seat.
