Based on her knowledge of luxury goods, this string of gold beads was top-notch in both design and quality.
If I give this string of beads to Gu Fanyan as a gift, it should help bring the two of us closer.
"Let me see this." Yun Wanqing approached and proudly pointed to the jewelry.
The saleswoman was taken aback. This necklace had been pre-ordered by a customer and had just arrived; she was simply checking it.
“I’m sorry,” she replied politely, “this necklace has already been reserved. Please take a look at other styles.”
"Reservation?" Yun Wanqing scoffed. "Who made the reservation? They're that powerful!"
"I'm sorry, but we need to keep customer information confidential."
Yun Wanqing scoffed, "Do you know who I am?"
The sales clerk looked at her carefully and then shook her head blankly.
Most of the brand's major clients are repeat customers. Whenever a new product is released, they will come to deliver brochures and introduce the product.
Those who come into the store are usually individual customers, either browsing on a whim or simply wanting to feast their eyes.
People like Yun Wanqing belong purely to the latter category.
Yun Wanqing felt uneasy, but she couldn't show it on her face. "Do you know Gu Fanyan?" she asked, raising her chin even higher.
The sales clerk's eyes lit up; of course, Gu Fanyan and the others knew.
Miss Gu is a VIP customer of the store.
"Good to know," Yun Wanqing said imperiously. "I came to see this necklace on behalf of Miss Gu."
The sales clerk looked embarrassed: "I'm very sorry, this necklace was indeed pre-ordered by a customer."
Yun Wanqing's face darkened: "What kind of customer is she, with more influence than Miss Gu?"
“This isn’t about who has more face,” a shrewd and capable woman walked over, wearing a “General Manager” badge, “but rather that you’re not qualified for us to receive you.”
Yun Wanqing was furious: "What did you say!"
The general manager said with a disdainful look: "Customers who want to place an order must have accumulated spending in the store, and you haven't even met the minimum requirement."
Yun Wanqing blushed deeply: "I...I came to shop on behalf of Miss Gu."
The general manager scoffed, "That's even more wrong. Miss Gu would never send someone like you. Her jewelry consultant here is at least a silver card member."
"If you don't believe me, why don't we call Miss Gu now to confirm?"
Yun Wanqing felt guilty.
Although she and Gu Fanyan knew each other, Gu Fanyan had only been close to Yun Suiwan since childhood and never included her in their play.
But if she leaves now, won't she be unable to hold her head up in front of these shop assistants in the future?
She gritted her teeth and said, "Go ahead and make the call, do you think I'm afraid of you!"
She felt that even if she and Gu Fanyan weren't close, Gu Fanyan would still save face for her in front of these shop assistants.
Having dealt with wealthy people every day and seen a lot of the world, the general manager calmly dialed Gu Fanyan's number.
"Hello?" After a moment, Gu Fanyan's calm voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Sister Fanyan,” Yun Wanqing spoke up quickly, “I’m Yun Wanqing, Qingqing!”
"Yun Wanqing?" Gu Fanyan was somewhat surprised, but she was not unfamiliar with him; she clearly remembered someone named Yun Wanqing.
“Yes, it’s me, Qingqing,” Yun Wanqing quickly added, “Sister Fanyan, the people in the jewelry store are bullying me, you have to stand up for me!”
The general manager glanced at Yun Wanqing and said calmly, "Miss Gu, it's like this..." and then went on and on.
"Oh," Gu Fanyan replied indifferently after hearing this, "I didn't ask her to do this. I have nothing to do with her. You can handle it as you see fit."
After saying that, Gu Fanyan hung up the phone.
Yun Wanqing was "politely" escorted out of the store by two shop assistants who held her arms.
"Do you know who I am?" Yun Wanqing shouted angrily, "I'm backed by the Yun family and the Huo family..."
"A driver who works for the Yun or Huo family can also claim that he's backed by the Yun or Huo family!" the salesperson said with utter sarcasm.
"You look down on me, I'll make you pay sooner or later..."
The sales clerk had already let go of her and turned back into the store.
Nobody paid any attention to her anymore.
Only passing customers cast questioning glances at her.
Yun Wanqing quickly looked around to make sure no one she knew was nearby. She tidied herself up and left arrogantly once again.
Act as if nothing happened.
She cursed inwardly, "What kind of person is Gu Fanyan? She won't say a single word to help me!"
What Miss Gu!
Isn't she just a piece of junk that's been used and discarded before?
Yun Wanqing vaguely remembered hearing someone mention that Gu Fanyan's study abroad was not without reason...
When Yun Wanqing returned home, she found the terrace bustling with activity. Several middle-aged women were gathered together, chattering and exclaiming things like "So beautiful!" and "So gorgeous!"
Yun Wanqing knew without looking that Chen Lizhen had invited her group of old girlfriends to her house again.
These old ladies, on the surface, all look glamorous and adorned with gold and silver, but in reality, they are all low-class rich women.
The circles she's in are nothing compared to the ones she used to be in.
It's just Chen Lizhen entertaining herself.
"Qingqing's back," a woman said warmly, pulling Yun Wanqing over. "Look at this necklace, isn't it beautiful?"
What good or bad can those country bumpkins possibly tell?
Yun Wanqing glanced at it disdainfully, feeling even more contemptuous in her heart.
It wasn't actually an object; it was just a group of women admiring a picture book.
But her gaze was drawn to a familiar necklace in the catalog.
Isn't this the same string of beads she just saw in the luxury store?
Exactly the same!
“It seems your Huo family is about to have some good news,” a woman laughed. “This necklace and earrings are a limited edition set.”
"It is said that only three sets were customized worldwide."
"Huo Beichen is really generous. He gave such a valuable set of jewelry to Miss Yun without even blinking an eye."
"Once Huo Beichen and Yun Suiwan get married, what wouldn't Huo Beichen want? Why would he care about this set of jewelry?"
Yun Wanqing was stunned. Her heart felt like a jumbled mess of spices.
The most prominent flavor, of course, is vinegar.
She pulled Chen Lizhen aside and asked, "What do you mean? Huo Beichen gave Yun Suiwan a set of jewelry?"
“That’s right,” Chen Lizhen said indignantly. “Huo Beichen is doing very well in this city now. I heard he hosted a party and invited a lot of prominent celebrities.”
“Yun Suiwan will also be attending, and she will be there as his fiancée.”
Yun Wanqing asked resentfully, "Will they really get married?"
Chen Lizhen thought it was very likely, "Don't you already know what happened on the island? Yun Suiwan and Lu Dongjue have fallen out, and Huo Beichen is her best choice."
"Moreover, Huo Beichen is also very anxious, otherwise why would he spend so much money to buy such expensive jewelry for Yun Suiwan!"
Chen Lizhen's tone was tinged with envy: "As a woman, Yun Suiwan is so lucky. One after another, men are willing to give their hearts to her."
Yun Wanqing bit her lip in resentment. She was clearly the most beloved daughter of the Yun family parents, so why did Yun Suiwan receive so much?
