Chapter 92 Chapter 92 Spending Money Day 92
Liu Yue picked up two Birkin 25s from the Hermès store. In fact, the store had more than these in stock, but the others were not her favorite colors.
It was incredible to see a bag delivered straight to the store without having to sort it out. However, Liu Yue had never experienced the frantic waiting and frantic searching for a bag, so for her... it was just like that.
The listed price of the two Birkins only took up 5% of her budget. What should she buy next?
Liu Yue sat in the coffee shop and thought, in fact, the fastest way to spend money is to buy jewelry, but she received two 15-carat blue diamonds yesterday. The breathtaking beauty shocked and obsessed her, and it was difficult for her to fall in love with other gems in the short term.
Unless there are other colors, or better looking ones...
The fifteen-carat diamond is very large and sparkly, but Liu Yue definitely wouldn't wear it on a daily basis. It's too formal and not very convenient.
If she wanted to buy some small jewelry worth hundreds of thousands of dollars for daily wear, there were many jewelry brands in the mall, but she had just opened a lot of gift boxes this morning and was a little tired of all the colored gemstones and small-carat diamonds.
How about having dinner first and thinking about it in the afternoon? Anyway, there's no rush with 10 million, and I can definitely spend it if I need to.
As Liu Yue pondered this, Ye Jiashu beside her was trying to train a robot dog to accept that he was a dog.
AI will obey human commands. Lucifer can play the game "I am a dog," but it still treats this as an interactive task. If it is out of the task context, it will no longer consider itself a dog.
As expected, the core code still needs to be modified... But the "dog" that Liu Yue wants, does it mean that Lucifer recognizes his own identity as a dog, or that it can also imitate the habits of a dog?
When Ye Jiashu asked about her needs, Liu Yue was a little surprised. "I was just saying it casually," she said. "Would it be a bit unreasonable to ask Lucifer to accept that he's a dog?"
Uh, this...
Ye Jiashu’s answer was: “But you want it, so I’ll help you find a way to do it.”
Liu Yue looked at him and said, "You are very attentive to your customers."
“Of course we have to be attentive to Party A.”
Ye Jiashu added softly, "And I want to make you happy."
Liu Yue deliberately said: "Then, why do you want to make me happy?"
Ye Jiashu hesitated for a few words and blushed a little.
"You're a good person." He hesitated, "And... if you're happy, I'm happy too. I hope you'll always be happy, just like you were last night."
Liu Yue didn't say anything, just stared at him, watching when his blush would spread to his neck and ears.
Ye Jiashu originally thought that his turn to speak was over, but Liu Yue kept looking at him, as if wanting him to say something more.
He could only continue, "You are luckier than me. Although we both found our biological parents after we grew up, your parents love you very much."
"I was thinking last night that you looked so happy. If you could stay happy like that, the fairy tale would have a happy ending."
Liu Yue was a little stunned. She just wanted to tease Ye Jiashu, but she didn't expect him to say this, nor did she expect him to think of her.
She was silent for a moment, then changed the subject: "I didn't expect you like fairy tales. Did you play at Disneyland yesterday?"
Ye Jiashu nodded. The park was fully booked yesterday, so of course he went in to play.
The projects at Hong Kong Di were very interesting, and he even met several celebrities.
He didn't know they were celebrities at the time, he just thought they looked familiar, and only found out later after looking up information.
The reason why Ye Jiashu went to check was because there was an actor named Sheng Zhou who stared at him for a long time after seeing him... He still didn't know why.
He told this to Liu Yue, and Liu Yue smiled.
"It's okay, don't take it personally," she said. "That's just his personality. He's hostile to all good-looking boys."
Is this considered a compliment? Ye Jiashu felt a little embarrassed.
He felt that Liu Yue and Sheng Zhou should know each other and be very familiar with each other, but before he asked about this, the topic had already shifted to other things.
Liu Yue watched some short videos again. When she mentioned Hongdi, something related to Hongdi was immediately pushed to her.
There are also many peripheral shops in Hong Kong Di, but she has already bought a lot of peripherals, and these things can't tempt her...
As she thought so, her eyes lit up when she saw the next video.
What is this? Is this a solid gold Disney castle?!
Oh my god, this is so beautiful, isn’t it tailor-made for her?
——The above thought came to Liu Yue’s mind the first time she saw the castle.
She was still wondering where she could buy this thing and which gold brand was the collaboration with Disney. After searching online, she found out it was Chow Tai Fook.
Moreover, the store is in Hong Kong Disneyland. There are two Chow Tai Fook stores in Hong Kong Disneyland. Yesterday, she was busy playing games and visiting floats and didn't even notice it.
Liu Yue thought, if I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have gone out. Isn’t this going far away instead of near?
But it doesn't matter, just think of it as a walk, it's not too late for her to go back to Hong Kong Disneyland now.
This pure gold Disney castle is extremely attractive to Liu Yue. After binding the system, she hasn't had this urgent feeling of "I want it, I must get it" for a long time.
She was about to go back to Hong Kong Di immediately, and she did not forget to ask Ye Jiashu if he wanted to stay in the city for a while longer, and he did not have to follow her back.
Ye Jiashu: "I'll follow you."
Well, compared to Lucifer, Ye Jiashu is more like her pet, and is even more intelligent.
Liu Yue walked into Chow Tai Fook and saw the pure gold Disney castle in a very conspicuous position.
Wow, the real thing is much better than the video! Is this the charm of gold? Look at the luster and color, it really is Chow Tai Fook's treasure.
Seeing her staring at this place, the teller came over to introduce it.
"This is a golden castle modeled after the Hong Kong Disneyland Castle. It weighs approximately 8,692 grams. If you buy this castle, you can enter Hong Kong Disneyland for free for life."
Of course, Liu Yue didn't care about the latter. Her attention was completely attracted by the details of the castle.
The workmanship of this ornament is really exquisite, and the degree of restoration is also very high. Every brick and tile of the castle is clearly visible, with both grand momentum and exquisite details. The dazzling golden light makes her unable to take her eyes away.
"I want this." Liu Yue said without hesitation, "How much is it?"
This is one of the few items in the store that does not have a price tag. You can imagine it won’t be too cheap, after all, it is a 17-pound gold product.
Ye Jiashu never thought that one day he would be able to see gold being sold by the pound. It was indeed a luxury and a great fortune.
But to Liu Yue, this was nothing.
Sure enough, after hearing the quote of 17 million Hong Kong dollars, Liu Yue directly asked the teller to prepare to issue the invoice.
Given the craftsmanship of the castle, it must have been piece-rate. Liu Yue was looking at a display piece, and the clerk had initially wanted her to wait for it to be custom-made, leaving the castle as the shop's treasure. However, the store manager, upon meeting her, smiled and let her take the castle away.
Liu Yue was very satisfied. She was able to get it immediately, so of course she didn't want to wait.
I'm going out for my birthday this time, and there's so much space in her museum! I used to think it was too big and it seemed so empty every time I went in, but I hope I won't have to worry about running out of space in the future.
But she was just thinking about it; she wouldn't have to worry about it. If her own house couldn't accommodate it, she could just buy another house and turn it into a museum.
Now that she has entered the jewelry store, Liu Yue will definitely not buy just one item.
Reason told her that she had already spent all the money for today's task. In fact, it would be better for her to buy gold tomorrow... But she still had money to spend tomorrow. Completing the task was just a side job. The important thing today was to make herself happy.
Liu Yue happily convinced herself and asked Sang Yu to communicate with the store manager about the price and the transportation of the castle, and continue shopping in the store.
Oh my god, this store is full of gold jewelry and ornaments with Disney IP images. How could she have missed this peripheral store yesterday?
The Mickey Mouse figurine with a hat and a gift in hand is really cute. It's only NT$340,000, so I bought it.
The workmanship is lifelike, just like the Aladdin's lamp that illuminates the fairy tale into reality. It only costs 260,000 yuan, so you must buy it.
Liu Yue used to think that wide gold bracelets were too flashy and tacky, but what if they had Mickey and Minnie Mouse making a heart shape on them?
It’s so cute and dreamy, I bought the whole set of jewelry!
She bought the most valuable large ornaments from Hong Kong Chow Tai Fook and also cleared out all the smaller ornaments in the store. She knew that piece-rate merchandise was not cost-effective, but these were Qibao peripherals!
Lingna Belle is looking at you with a telescope in her hand. Who can resist taking it home?
Liu Yue was selecting products with great interest. She wanted this pretty one, and that unique one. If you said this was a set, then she had to go all in!
She would buy things in whichever area she went to, and the onlookers just stared at her blankly.
Wait a minute, this is a gold shop, not a two-dollar shop, right?
The things the teller opened the cabinet and asked her to grab were worth thousands of yuan each, not just 0.01 yuan, right?
——If Liu Yue were to really say it, she felt that there was not much difference between the two.
Some people had never seen such a scene before and wanted to secretly take out their mobile phones to take pictures, but the picture was completely blocked by a man.
Zhang Cheng looked back and said nothing, but that stern look still made the tourist put down his phone in disappointment.
The person who can turn a gold shop into a two-dollar shop... can't be offended, can't be offended.
Liu Yue asked the cashier to string seven lucky beads for her, and her hands were full of them.
Not bad, not bad. This gold looks better and better the more I look at it.
Because she bought a lot, Sang Yu negotiated a preferential price for her, plus the discount from the gold shop, and offset the points she had previously spent at Chow Tai Fook... In the end, Liu Yue spent a little over 20 million and returned home happily with a lot of things.
On the way back to the hotel, Ye Jiashu and Liu Yue said, "You can let Lucifer record your jewelry and collectibles, especially the smaller items. It has an object recognition function and can search and compare within a fixed area."
The robot dog's camera field of view is lower than a human's, which can supplement its perspective when searching for objects. Furthermore, the robot dog carefully explores every corner. While humans may think when searching for objects, they are also limited by conventional thinking and subconsciously skip over certain areas.
Liu Yue exclaimed: "What an amazing function!"
"It's not that impressive," Ye Jiashu said modestly. "It's only in the testing phase right now, and it has significant limitations. For example, it can't navigate around obstacles. We're planning to use the advanced version of this feature on household robots."
It turns out that their company not only makes robot dogs, but also plans to make robots.
Liu Yue complimented him a few more times, and Ye Jiashu looked like a child with a little red flower on his forehead. He was in high spirits and his eyes were shining.
It’s so easy to coax her, Liu Yue laughed in her heart.
After entering the lobby, she originally wanted to take the elevator directly to have lunch, but unexpectedly she ran into Yan Qiu.
At first glance, she thought it was Qiu Kangan. After a moment of confusion, she remembered that it was Yan Qiu.
Yan Qiu was also surprised to see Liu Yue here.
Yan Xia's mock exam scores had improved, and he'd reported this to Ren Zhen. Ren Zhen didn't say anything at the time, simply replying, "I understand." A few days later, she asked if the family wanted to come to Hong Kong for Liu Yue's birthday party, and she'd covered the flights and hotel expenses.
This was Liu Yue's spur of the moment idea. As a sponsor, she was of course very happy to hear that Yan Xia's grades had improved, and she felt a sense of pride similar to that of a development game.
She had Ren Zhen ask them if they wanted to come, but she hadn't thought of it until now.
Yan Qiu introduced the girl next to him to Liu Yue: "This is my sister Yan Xia. She has excellent grades and will definitely be able to get into a key high school this year."
Yan Xia also looked shy. She whispered "Hello, Sister Liu Yue" and didn't know where to put her hands. However, she looked at Liu Yue with admiration and respect. She lowered her head shyly because she didn't dare to look directly at her. This feeling of being admired made Liu Yue feel a great sense of accomplishment.
Yan Qiu explained, "Thank you very much for your invitation, but my mother is still recovering, so she couldn't come this time. She really wanted to come and thank you in person, but her health didn't allow it."
"Ah, that's okay. Just let her take care of herself."
Liu Yue waved her hand, looked at the two siblings dragging their suitcases, and said, "Are you leaving now? Actually, it's okay to stay in Hong Kong for a few more days. I'll take care of the food and lodging."
"No, no, no, we can't trouble you anymore."
Yan Qiu quickly said, "We played at Disney yesterday, and Xia Xia and I were very happy. She's going to take her back to review for her high school entrance exam soon."
Oh, the exam is coming up soon and we really can’t delay it.
Liu Yue heard Yan Qiu say that they made her a handmade gift, but it was a bit rough, and they hoped she would be more tolerant.
"It doesn't matter. The thought is what matters."
Liu Yue looked at Yan Xia and said, "Little sister, study hard. When you get into a good high school, I will give you a reward."
Sang Yu silently took note of this matter - in a few minutes, Liu Yue might not remember it.
As an assistant, she would protect her reputation for keeping her word. Anyway, the gift she gave out was nothing to Liu Yue. She either omitted it intentionally or simply forgot something trivial.
Yan Xia whispered that it was not necessary. Yan Qiu wanted to refuse, but Liu Yue did not argue with him. She just said that it was for his sister, not for him, and asked him to mind his own business.
She didn't stay here for long, just said goodbye to them and left.
Yan Xia looked at her back, still recalling the way Liu Yue smiled at him just now.
She knew that she was a very good person. After meeting her today, Yan Xia felt that Liu Yue was a hundred times better than she had imagined.
Yan Qiu watched her leave before looking away with a look of disappointment.
"Let's go." He said to Yan Xia, "When you go back, you must study hard. Don't let her down and let her down."
"Um."
Yan Xia clenched his fist firmly and said, "I will definitely work hard."
On the other side, Liu Yue returned to her room after lunch.
Sang Yu had helped her find the gift from the Yan brothers and sisters, which was a pink hand-woven bag.
Liu Yue was quite surprised when she got it.
Its needles and threads are thick and thin, and the stitches are staggered. Unlike conventional hollow woven bags, it is not only beautiful but also very practical. The bottom is very thick, so even if you put small items in it, they will not fall out.
This is a tote bag that can be worn over the shoulder. It can fit an A4 sheet of paper, making it the perfect size. The bag itself is very light and feels very soft to the touch. It's tied with two ribbon bows with the Cresent nameplate embroidered in the middle.
"It's quite delicate, not rough at all."
Well, Chinese people are always modest when speaking, and it’s obvious that this bag is made with great care.
Liu Yue felt good when she tried on the bag in front of the mirror. Sang Yu picked up a Lingna Belle pendant and hung it on the bag, which made it look even better.
She liked the bag very much and asked Sang Yu to remember to put it in the cloakroom when she returned home.
Sang Yu nodded. As long as Liu Yue liked it, whether it was a Hermès bag worth hundreds of thousands or a handmade knitted bag, they were all of the same value.
Liu Yue took a nap in the hotel. She had been out in the morning and didn't feel like moving in the afternoon.
As for when she will return to Shenzhen...it depends on her mood, it doesn't matter. Hong Kong and Shenzhen are so close anyway, she can go back whenever she wants.
She suddenly thought of something and asked Sang Yu, "When is our college's graduation ceremony?"
Sang Yu: "On the afternoon of June 20th, we will take a class photo. The bachelor's gowns have been sent to us. Do you want to take graduation photos?"
The bachelor's gown for undergraduates at the School of Foreign Languages of Shenzhen University is dark blue with a gold-rimmed collar. It can't be said to be good-looking, but at least it's not ugly, and Liu Yue is very satisfied with it.
"We'll take a picture," she said confidently. "We'll find a professional photographer to take the picture for us. Unfortunately, the clothes haven't been distributed yet by the time of the defense, otherwise we could take a group photo in the dormitory. But we should have a chance on graduation day."
As for graduation photos, they will be taken separately.
Liu Yue made many requests. She wanted something beautiful, romantic, abstract, and funny... But no one said that only one style could be used. She could post it on WeChat Moments several times.
She just needs to open her mouth and ask where the shooting location is, what time the shooting will be, what props are needed...someone will help her solve these problems.
Liu Yue fantasized for a while and lay motionless on the bed.
There were many people on her phone asking her to go out and have dinner with them, but she wasn't in the mood and rejected them all, saying she'd talk to them next time.
When will that be? Who knows? It depends on their luck.
**
Liu Yue stayed in Hong Kong for a week before deciding to return to Shenzhen.
It’s really fun here. Liu Yue also experienced the city walk and found a famous check-in spot for tourists visiting Hong Kong. After arriving there, she felt cheated.
She followed the guide to find a local tea restaurant, but felt that the ones recommended online were just average; she just picked a random one on the roadside, and perhaps because her expectations were so low, the food turned out to be surprisingly delicious, completely on par with the food from the Sweeping Monk.
Many people online say it's easy to bump into celebrities on the streets of Hong Kong. After a few days of wandering around, Liu Yue felt a surge of survivor bias—everyone who'd encountered them posted it online, and the feeds were endless, while those who hadn't encountered them didn't specifically mention it.
Liu Yue didn't encounter this very often, and she felt a little regretful about it.
It wasn't because she wanted to meet a certain celebrity. If she really wanted to, she could just ask He Xi's secretary's assistant to make a call. It was just that this thing itself was an interesting experience when traveling to Hong Kong, but she didn't get to experience it.
Forget it, leaving some regrets is the anticipation for coming again next time. Liu Yue did not forget the free lifetime admission that came with the Golden Castle ticket she bought.
The out-of-town guests who came for her birthday party had already left one after another.
Ye Jiashu has been staying with her in Hong Kong. Liu Yue once asked curiously, doesn't he have to go back to work?
Ye Jiashu: "I only need a computer to complete my work, even when I'm working in another city."
And...he said this with some hesitation.
But he finally said: "I'm here with you, Peiden doesn't dare to come to me."
After he clearly told Pei Deng that he would not change his surname to Pei, Pei Deng became very angry and went directly to his company and the house where he lived to block him.
To be honest, he was able to come to Hong Kong because Pei Yuan said it was Liu Yue's invitation. He didn't know what Pei Yuan and Pei Deng had said, but Pei Deng no longer looked down on him and even helped him prepare a gift for Liu Yue, although he didn't use it.
Pei Deng seemed to have compromised temporarily, but Ye Jiashu always felt that if he returned to Shenzhen, he would come to him again.
How should I put it? This was his biological father after all. Ye Jiashu didn't want to face him, and he hated him for making his birth so embarrassing, but...
Alas, how pitiful.
Liu Yue sighed a few times. Every time his eyes reddened, she felt that the scene was beautiful and full of brokenness. The way he tried so hard to hold back his tears was even more clumsy and adorable.
In front of others, he is an elite science and engineering man, but in private, he is a red-eyed crybaby. When it is late at night and everyone is asleep, won’t he think about the grievances and just hide under the quilt and shed tears secretly?
When Liu Yue asked this question, Ye Jiashu blushed and said, "Of course not!"
She didn't believe it and felt that the authenticity of this answer needed to be verified, but Ye Jiashu was anxious, so she went along with him and coaxed him a few words.
It is said that cats are tsundere creatures, but her cat Lucas has a much better temper than Ye Jiashu.
Before Liu Yue returned to Shenzhen, He Xi also returned to Hong Kong and had dinner with her.
He Xi asked her, "Are you satisfied with Ye Jiashu?"
Well, this...
Liu Yue felt that she got along well with him, except that he was a little clingy. However, this was not a disadvantage when she was bored.
It's not that he cries easily. He is good-looking, and tears look good when they roll in his eyes. When a beautiful woman cries, it's called "pear blossoms in the rain." Crying beautifully won't disgust her.
That’s right, she is obsessed with looks and has double standards.
He Xi nodded to show that he understood.
She said, "As long as you are satisfied, if you are tired of it, I have a few alternatives."
Liu Yue: ...
She was drinking milk and nearly choked.
Although they are a mother and daughter who have a good relationship, they discussed this topic directly at the dinner table...
Well, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong, I can only get used to it.
When she was in the United States, Chloe didn't ask so directly, but there were always a few handsome young men hanging around them.
Liu Yue returned to Shenzhen and had just entered the house when Lucas rushed over impatiently.
It first jumped into Liu Yue's arms, and luckily she caught it. But the Bengal cat, who loved freedom all his life, would not stay in her arms for too long. It looked at Lucifer on the ground curiously.
Liu Yue: "Lucas, this is a robot dog, you guys have to—"
Before she finished saying "You two should be good friends", Lucas jumped out of her arms and with just a light pounce, he sent Lucifer flying several meters away.
Liu Yue: ...
Cats and dogs are running around, it's a lively, harmonious and friendly scene.
