Five o'clock in the afternoon.

After a quick wash and changing into a more formal outfit, Su Yan went out with Qiu Xiaorou.

She planned to go to the department store to buy some gifts to take to the Jiang family later.

However, the area around the hotel was too remote, and the two of them had to ask for directions along the way. It took them half an hour to finally reach the nearest department store.

The weather in Beijing was starting to get cooler. As soon as Su Yan came in, she asked the shop assistant to take down the scarves and down jackets hanging on the wall to look at them.

The sales clerk immediately beamed and enthusiastically explained, "Young lady, you have excellent taste! The sweater and scarf are imported goods that just arrived yesterday. You can't buy them anywhere else in Beijing except our store."

The scarf was gray and made of thick material. The first thing Su Yan thought of was how Jiang Jingxing would look wearing this scarf.

The down jacket is military green.

The salesperson continued, "The scarf is made of cashmere, and the down jacket is made of goose down. It's warm but not bulky, and the outer material is also waterproof. However, the wholesale price is too high. Our store has also stocked ten pieces, but the quality is top-notch. You can feel it when you touch it."

Qiu Xiaorou glanced at the price tag, and the next second, her eyes widened in disbelief. "399? My god, is this down jacket studded with gold?"

She continued to pull at the price tag on the scarf.

——199 yuan.

Her vision went black.

Before the shop assistant could speak, Su Yan smiled and said, "Goose down is the warmest down, and the price of 399 is not too expensive."

The shop assistant nodded in agreement, "The young lady knows her stuff, but the purchase price is too high. She's afraid she won't be able to sell them, so she only dares to order ten pieces. Our profit margin is also very small."

"Are there other colors for the scarf and down jacket?"

"Yes, there are also black and gray ones. I'll go get them for you."

The shop assistant went into the warehouse as he spoke.

After waiting for about two minutes, the staff member finally came out.

"Look, young lady, the down jackets come in four colors: military green, gray, black, and white. The scarves are only available in gray and black. The price and quality are the same. Only the white down jacket is cheaper because it gets dirty easily, so it's priced at 359 yuan. The white one is for women, and the other colors are for men."

Su Yan picked up the white down jacket and held it up to herself; it was about 1/2 the length of her calves.

She said directly, "I need one black scarf and one gray scarf, and down jackets in three colors: white, black, and military green. Also, do you have any women's coats?"

The shop assistant was stunned when she heard the first half of her sentence. It took her a while to react before she hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, we have several styles. Come with me."

Su Yan followed the shop assistant and said to Qiu Xiaorou next to her, "Take whatever you like, I'll pay."

Qiu Xiaorou: "..." Clothes that cost several hundred yuan at a time, do you think I would dare to take them?

She knew Su Yan was generous, but she would feel uneasy if she actually took it.

Su Yan could tell what she was thinking at a glance, so she said, "There aren't any clothes this nice in Lan City. Consider this my early New Year's gift to you, is that alright?"

"Okay, I'll go pick some."

Su Yan smiled with satisfaction.

"We have six coats in our store. Let me take them down for you to try on."

I tried for more than ten minutes.

Su Yan ultimately chose a smoky gray wool coat, a style she really liked.

Then, I picked out a showy sky-blue coat for Huo Qianli.

Qiu Xiaorou then came over with a black sweater. "Boss Su, I want this."

Su Yan glanced at it and nodded approvingly, "Good taste, it suits you quite well."

Qiu Xiaorou has a slender figure, so she doesn't look bulky in a sweater.

She then ordered two cans of Pu'er tea, two boxes of milk, and some snacks suitable for the elderly.

"Young lady, are you looking for a gift? We just got some new canned fruit; it tastes great, makes a good gift, and is very reasonably priced. Would you like to take a look?"

The clerk asked the question, but his hand had already automatically taken the can of food from the store.

Such big spenders are rare, so she had to seize the opportunity to boost her sales!

Su Yan glanced at it and raised an eyebrow.

The canned food in the shop assistant's hand was developed by her and the food factory, and the bottle was printed with the words "Jointly produced by Su's Shop".

Qiu Xiaorou leaned closer for a look and subconsciously said, "This isn't..."

"Is this canned food selling well?" Su Yan interrupted, giving her a meaningful look.

Qiu Xiaorou understood immediately and silently shut her mouth.

The shop assistant, oblivious to their furtive glances, replied, "Yes, Su's Shop's canned goods are newly launched. They taste great, come in large quantities, and are cheap. We've restocked twice already, a thousand portions each time. Sometimes they sell out in less than a week. Some people want to buy them but can't get them. This is also the stock that arrived today, so the expiration date is very fresh. I can pack it in a special gift bag for you."

Hearing this compliment, Su Yan was overjoyed.

Hearing from Uncle Dahai that canned fruit was selling well gave me a completely different feeling than hearing it from someone else.

"Okay, then please pack one of each flavor. Thank you."

The shop assistant immediately broke into a smile and replied, "Okay, three down jackets, two scarves, two coats, one sweater, four cans of fruit, tea, milk, and two servings each of hibiscus cake and osmanthus cake. The total is 2165 yuan. Our store offers a 20% discount on purchases over 1500 yuan, so the price after the discount is... 1732 yuan."

Su Yan took out a wad of cash from her pocket, counted it, and handed it over, saying, "Thank you."

The shop assistant spent almost ten minutes packing the food, and then warmly saw the customer out, saying, "Welcome to visit again next time."

With sales of 1,700 yuan, her commission today is 170 yuan!

Two months' salary for her!

Su Yan had no idea that her extravagant spending would leave a lasting impression on the shop assistants.

She and Qiu Xiaorou returned the way they came, and by the time they got back to the hotel, it was completely dark.

At this moment, Jiang Jingxing came down the stairs, his steps hurried.

Looking up, I saw a figure standing at the hotel entrance, with a pile of things at her feet.

Jiang Jingxing felt a wave of relief wash over him and strode over to ask, "Where did you go?"

His face still looked terrible.

Su Yan turned around and saw him, paused for a moment, then smiled broadly, "You're done with your work? You've come at the right time. Xiao Rou and I went out and bought some gifts for you, and we also bought you clothes and a scarf. They're so heavy! Hurry up and help me carry them up."

The August evening in Beijing was already cool, but the girl's face was flushed from the heat, and sweat dampened the stray hairs on her forehead. The moment she saw him, her smile blossomed like the stars in the sky, captivating everyone's gaze.

Jiang Jingxing's anger vanished instantly. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from the girl's face and said with heartache, "No need to buy it. He's already very happy that you can visit Grandpa."

"How can that be? We can't be careless with our manners, lest we give others something to talk about." Su Yan said, "Alright, it's getting late. Let's go back and prepare before we set off, so as not to keep Grandpa waiting."
