The glass dome of Plaza 66 filters the April sunlight into a gentle golden gauze, which is evenly sprinkled on the Carrara marble floor imported from Italy.
Hua Jinyue was wearing Jimmy Choo's latest season of nude satin high heels. The heels made a crisp sound when they touched the ground, like some kind of elegant metronome.
"There aren't many people here today." Lin Yuwei took out a pair of diamond-studded Gucci sunglasses from her Chanel chain bag and put them on. The double G logo on the temples sparkled in the sun.
Hua Jinyue nodded slightly and glanced at the Tiffany blue Christmas tree in the atrium. Although it was already April, this decoration made of Swarovski crystals still stood there, and a special person wiped each crystal every day.
"Let's go to Hermès and look at the scarves first. They should have the new colors for this season."
The temperature inside the mall is kept at a constant 22 degrees, and the humidity is controlled at 45%, which is most suitable for the skin.
The air is filled with the elegant aroma of English pear and freesia released by the Jo Malone fragrance system, intertwined with the scent of perfume wafting from the major luxury brand stores on the first floor, forming a unique "luxury atmosphere".
The Hermes clerk had already recognized the two regular customers through the surveillance camera at the door, and the store manager personally opened the heavy glass door.
"Miss Ye, Miss Lin, good morning." The store manager bowed slightly, a delicate horseshoe-shaped brooch pinned to the collar of her silk shirt. "This season's new scarves are in the VIP room on the second floor. Would you like to go up and take a look?"
Hua Jinyue nodded slightly, her fingertips sliding across the glass surface of the display cabinet without leaving a trace of fingerprints.
She was wearing a beige cashmere dress from Dior today, the hem of which was just three centimeters above her knees. It didn't look frivolous, but perfectly showed off her slender calves.
A Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra four-leaf clover necklace around her neck swayed gently with her movements, and the white gold material glowed with a restrained luster under the light.
The VIP room is decorated in Hermès' iconic orange and beige color combination, with fresh white roses placed next to the leather sofa.
The waiter brought two glasses of Perrier-Jou?t champagne and a small plate of Ladurée macarons, the edge of the porcelain plate was decorated with 22K gold.
"The color combination of this 'Spring Garden' is very special." Hua Jinyue picked up a 90-centimeter square silk scarf, and the silk flowed through her fingertips like water waves.
The scarf is printed with a delicate floral pattern, with each petal presented in at least five gradient colors. The edges are hand-curled and the stitching is so fine that it is almost invisible.
Lin Yuwei leaned in to take a look. The scent of her Miss Dior perfume blended with Hua Jinyue's Creed. "It's indeed beautiful, but I think this 'Paris Dance' suits you better."
She pointed to another ballerina-inspired scarf. "The pale blue will complement your skin tone."
The two rich girls stayed in the VIP room for about forty minutes. In the end, Hua Jinyue chose three scarves, and Lin Yuwei bought two and a belt.
A small exhibition is being held at the Cartier entrance on the first floor, showcasing the latest Clash de Cartier series.
Hua Jinyue stopped to look at the ring in the window that was inlaid with irregularly arranged diamonds for a while. The diamonds reflected a dazzling light under the spotlight.
"Do you want to try it?" Lin Yuwei asked.
Hua Jinyue shook her head. "Let's not look at it today. Let's go to Chanel and look at the new bags."
She adjusted the Cartier Blue Balloon watch on her wrist, and the diamond hour markers on the dial flickered on her wrist.
Inside the Chanel store, models were displaying the newest styles of the season. Hua Jinyue was intrigued by a hobo bag with a pearl chain, and the salesperson immediately brought out three samples in different colors for her to choose from.
"Black is classic, but this beige is special."
Hua Jinyue slung her bag over her shoulder and turned left and right in front of the mirror. The quilted lambskin leather felt as soft as a second skin, and the pearls and metal on the chain mingled, making subtle clinking sounds as she moved.
Lin Yuwei was trying on a red flap bag. "This color is perfect for my cousin's wedding next month." She turned to the clerk and asked, "Do you have any new ones? I want this one."
After they made their purchase, they continued on to the next place.
The two of them then walked into Cartier, and the salesgirl immediately came up to them and said, "Miss Hua, the Santos-Dumont skeleton rose gold watch you ordered has arrived."
Hua Jinyue took the watch box and gently stroked the dial with her fingertips: "Brother likes simple designs, this one should be suitable."
Lin Yuwei couldn't help but complain: "You know your brother's preferences better than your own."
Hua Jinyue nodded as a matter of course: "Of course, he is my brother."
Lin Yuwei suddenly lowered her voice: "By the way, did Ye Qingliu win another gold medal in the International Mathematical Olympiad recently?"
Hua Jinyue's eyes lit up instantly. "Yeah! My brother got a perfect score this time, and the organizing committee even gave him a special honorary award!" Her tone was filled with pride. "He's only a sophomore in high school, but he's already received offers from MIT and Stanford."
Lin Yuwei curled her lips and said, "No wonder the boys in that forum are so jealous."
