Wang Meihua was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected her daughter-in-law to prepare a gift for her.
Gu Shaoxuan stepped forward, picked up the handbag Xia Enruo pointed to, and placed it in his mother's hands.
Since it was all in English letters, Wang Meihua didn't know what it meant and had never seen it before.
The only thing she recognized was that the box was yellow.
She opened the packaging, then the box, then the cloth bag...
This was the first time she had ever unwrapped such a complicated gift. It felt like it was wrapped up tightly with three layers on the left and three layers on the right, as if she was afraid that others would see it.
However, they are very exquisite, and you can fully experience the satisfaction of unwrapping a gift here.
"This bag is very unique, and the design is so special that I've never seen anything like it before. It's beautiful!"
Wang Meihua put it on her back and tried on the silk scarf; it felt very nice to the touch.
"Enruo, Mom really likes it. Thank you for preparing this gift for me."
Is this made in Guangzhou? What brand is it? I've never seen it before.
"Mom, this is a foreign brand, called Louis Vuitton. It's an imported product, not made in our country."
I happened to see them when I went, so I bought a few.
"I know imported goods are expensive, right? I know they're not cheap."
These days, the mere mention of foreign goods makes everyone happy. After all, in an era of scarcity, it was normal for consumer goods to be inferior to imported ones.
Although Wang Meihua had seen a lot of the world, she still felt a subtle sense of pride when she heard about imported goods.
"It's alright, only a little over five thousand! Mom, as long as you're happy, that's all that matters!"
Xia Enruo replied calmly, holding the child.
"What? Five thousand... more than five thousand!! You mean just these two items?"
Wang Meihua's eyes widened, and she froze in place.
Xia Enruo had anticipated her reaction, so she was already prepared.
These days, everyone has come from hard times. Even if a family is well-off, they have experienced the hardships of life before.
It's normal for the elderly to react so strongly to the price; they're still reluctant to spend money recklessly.
“It’s a mother’s item. The bag you’re holding costs over five thousand, and the scarf costs over two thousand.”
"Just these two items? So expensive? Over seven thousand yuan?"
Gu Shaoxuan was also stunned, unable to believe his ears.
A bag costs over 5,000 yuan, and a scarf costs over 2,000 yuan.
These two items are worth the same as a street-front shop.
This is way too exaggerated!
Xia Enruo smiled and nodded.
"That's right, because it's an expensive brand, the price is high. It sells for about the same price overseas."
Wang Meihua immediately felt that these two items were too heavy and too expensive.
She knew her daughter-in-law was wealthy from her business, but even if she was wealthy, she shouldn't have spent it like this!
"Enruo, I appreciate your kind gesture. Can I return these two items?"
"It's too expensive. Mom doesn't need something that costs that much. Anything that can hold things is fine. I have to protect this bag when I go out."
Xia Enruo knew that her mother-in-law would say these things.
"Mom, once it's bought, it can't be returned. Besides, why can't you use something so expensive?"
We earn money to improve our quality of life. Besides, I know what I'm doing with these purchases; this amount of money is just a drop in the ocean for our family.
I know what I'm doing, so I bought one too, just enough for my daughter and me. When we carry them out, it'll be obvious we're mother and daughter.
Xia Enruo offered a few words of comfort, which eased Wang Meihua's anxiety somewhat.
She looked in the mirror, twirled around a few times, and suddenly felt that the price had gone up, and she looked even better no matter how she looked at it.
"I never dreamed that I would be wearing something worth a house in my lifetime."
After trying them out, Wang Meihua carefully put both items back into the box.
"No wonder there's so much packaging. It seems there's a reason for the high price. Even unpacking it is a hassle."
Xia Enruo, holding the child, walked up to the stunned Gu Shaoxuan and said in a coquettish tone:
"Shaoxuan, aren't you going to look at the gift I bought for you?"
Gu Shaoxuan then realized what was happening and bent down to pick up the tote bag.
Upon opening it, I found a handbag and a belt.
"Honey, isn't this price also very expensive?"
"Hmm, the handbag costs over three thousand, and the belt costs over two thousand."
My chief of staff is tall and handsome; he deserves to be employed like this.
Gu Shaoxuan couldn't help but praise her, and upon hearing Xia Enruo say that, he suddenly became proud.
"That's right, don't you know who I am? Who told me to be your husband?"
Gu Shaoxuan straightened his back, fastened his belt, and looked at himself in the mirror with his handbag in hand.
That handsome aura was truly dazzling; indeed, handsome people look good in anything.
Xia Enruo watched from behind, her heart filled with sweet bliss.
He has a broad, thick waist and a strong build; even his back view is handsome, exuding masculinity.
"Honey, it looks great. I love it!"
This was the first time Gu Shaoxuan had used something so expensive.
But to be honest, it does look much more high-end this way.

Shortly after returning from Guangzhou, Xia Enruo convened a meeting of the company's senior management.
She finally made up her mind to establish the Chung Cheng Group and serve as its chairman.
The company divided its business into several wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Kelaixiang Catering Service Co., Ltd. is mainly responsible for the operation and business development of Kelaixiang Private Kitchen, and is personally managed by Xia Enruo.
At the same time, a milk tea division was established, and the first milk tea shop was opened in Yongning City, named Ice Queen Milk Tea Shop.
Meijiajing Commerce & Trade Co., Ltd. is responsible for the operation and business development of Likejia Supermarket, with Ge Qiuqin and Zhao Mingyan serving as general manager and deputy general manager respectively.
At the same time, Meijiajing Dry Cleaning Store was officially spun off as a sub-brand, with dedicated dry cleaning stores.
Xia Enruo decided to first open 10 Meijiajing dry cleaning stores in the city to test the waters. If the results were good, she would increase the number of stores. At the same time, she asked Ge Qiuqin and Zhao Mingyan to explore nationwide franchising based on the business model they had learned in Guangzhou, and to promote their dry cleaning brand.
Youlai Hotel Services Co., Ltd. was established to manage and operate the Heshun Four Seasons Hotel and expand business in other cities.
Lu Dekai was appointed as the general manager, and he was also put in charge of planning the establishment and development of a mid-range hotel brand.
Finally, Xia Enruo decided to establish Ningcheng Times Real Estate Development Company to enter the Yongning real estate development industry, with Zhao Minghui serving as general manager.
In the early stages, the company is responsible for selecting and purchasing properties and street-front shops in areas with development potential. In the later stages, it develops residential communities, high-end shopping malls, and office buildings.
After the division of labor, the company's various businesses finally got on track.
Xia Enruo chooses people she approves of and who she can absolutely trust.
She is very relaxed now, thanks to the perfect division of labor and the proper use of personnel.
Many businesses are progressing rapidly.
It's truly thanks to my subordinates that I've received so many unexpected surprises; if I had to think for myself, I certainly wouldn't have come up with such brilliant ideas.
With the rapid development of the business, Xia Enruo's pockets naturally became fuller and fuller.
In just six months, her personal net worth has reached over 100 million RMB.
