That day, when Su Nuan was bored in the hotel, she received a call from Zhao Wan'er.
"Hello, Sister Xiaonuan, I'm Zhao Wan'er, remember?"
"I remember. What's the matter? What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Sister Xiaonuan, winter has already arrived in Shanghai. My mother gave me some money today and asked me to buy some winter clothes. I want to go shopping with you. Do you have time?"
"Yes, where should I go? I just returned to China and I'm not familiar with Shanghai."
"Let's go to the department store first. I still have a few overseas Chinese coupons, and we can also go to the Friendship Store to have a look."
"Okay, wait for me in the store for a while, I'll ask someone to drive to pick you up."
Su Nuan picked up Zhao Wan'er, and the two of them went shopping in the department store. Compared to the scale of shopping malls in later generations, the department stores in Shanghai were like supermarkets, with a dazzling array of goods. There were food sections, clothing sections, cloth sections, and daily necessities sections, and everything was neatly organized and categorized.
There will be one or two salespeople in each area, manning the counter.
Today's sales clerks all have stable jobs, and there is no such thing as customers are God. Their attitude towards customers is not very good.
As soon as she entered the department store, Su Nuan saw a woman in her fifties being scolded by a salesperson. Su Nuan frowned subconsciously. Was it necessary for a salesperson to be so aggressive? Although, she felt uncomfortable.
But Su Nuan was not a saint who would step forward. After all, the social atmosphere was like this. Helping once would not solve the problem at all. She would plan it herself in the future and open a department store to change this atmosphere.
Zhao Wan'er, holding Su Nuan's hand, went shopping in the clothing area. Both of them were well dressed, especially Su Nuan, who was wearing all branded clothes, which was both beautiful and exquisite. The salesperson was very enthusiastic, and it was obvious at a glance that she was a child from a wealthy family. The style of clothes that this beautiful girl was wearing was still available in Shanghai.
The two girls were strolling around casually. Su Nuan had no interest in the current clothing styles, but Zhao Wan'er was very excited.
"Sister Xiaonuan, look at this black and white plaid woolen coat. Does it suit me?"
Zhao Wan'er, holding a coat in her hand, asked Su Nuan.
"Try it first, you go up there."
Zhao Wan'er, after trying it on, the effect is good. Zhao Wan'er is the type of girl next door, with big almond eyes, fair skin, and a little baby fat on her face. She is very cute, and this dress suits her very well.
"How much is this dress?" Su Nuan asked the salesperson
"Comrade, this dress costs 150 yuan, two cloth coupons"
"Wan'er, what do you think?"
"150 yuan is too expensive." Although Zhao Wan'er's family is well-off, 150 yuan is a month's salary for many people.
"It's okay, sister will buy it for you, but I don't have a ticket, you pay for it."
"Sister Xiaonuan, I can't do that. If I go back, my mom will scold me."
"It's okay, just say it's a gift from your sister, Auntie Sun won't tell."
"Okay then, I'll prepare a gift for you when I get back."
Su Nuan touched Zhao Waner's head and said to the salesperson
"Hello, could you please pack it for me?" She took the money out of her bag and handed it to the salesperson.
The salesperson didn't expect that this customer would be so straightforward. He packed the clothes and checked out quickly.
After shopping for a while, Zhao Wan'er didn't want to buy anything and Su Nuan wasn't interested either, so the two of them went to the Friendship Store not far from here.
The Friendship Store is an overseas Chinese store that serves overseas Chinese or foreigners. Chinese citizens need to have an overseas Chinese coupon to enter. Su Nuan is still a foreigner and her new nationality is about to be processed, so she can enter directly. Zhao Wan'er has an overseas Chinese remittance coupon and was also able to enter smoothly.
As soon as Su Nuan entered the Friendship Store, she noticed the counter selling antiques. In the future, Su Nuan had heard that when the reform and opening up had just begun, the country would sell national antiques and cultural relics publicly in order to develop the economy and earn foreign exchange. She didn't expect it to be true.
Walking to the antique counter, the cabinets inside are filled with antiques, porcelain, bronzes, jade, and ornaments, each of which is exquisite.
"Are you selling all these antiques?" Su Nuan asked the salesperson.
Looking at this beautiful girl who spoke fluent Chinese, I thought she was from a wealthy family and asked her out of curiosity.
"Yes, miss."
"Are there any purchase limits? Can I just buy whatever I want if I have the money?"
"Miss, there is no limit. You can buy it if you have money, but you need foreign currency."
“Is Country Y’s currency okay?”
"Yes, Miss."
"Then please calculate the value of all the cultural relics in this counter and give me a quote. If it's possible, I will buy them all."
The salesperson and Zhao Wan'er both looked at Su Nuan in amazement.
"Sister Xiao Nuan, are you sure you bought all of them? They're not cheap."
"Don't worry, sister has money."
"Miss, are you sure?"
"Yes"
The salesperson then immediately reported the matter to the manager of the Friendship Store. The manager was also surprised, but looking at Su Nuan's dress, he didn't want to joke around, so he immediately arranged for several salespeople to calculate the price.
About twenty minutes later, according to the currency of Country Y, it was calculated that there were a total of 1,500 cultural relics of various sizes, with a value of 2 million Y coins.
"Tongzi, give me 100,000 Y coins first and put them in my bag."
"Okay, host."
Su Nuan took out 100,000 Y coins from her bag and handed them to the manager.
"I'll give you a 100,000 yuan deposit first. You pack all your things and send them to the Sassoon Presidential Suite at the Shanghai Hotel. I'll pay you the remaining balance when the time comes."
"Okay, Miss, I'll arrange for the packing now."
Su Nuan took Zhao Wan'er shopping and they bought a lot of things. Zhao Wan'er used her overseas remittance coupons to buy imported chocolates. Su Nuan looked helpless.
"Eat less chocolate, worry about tooth decay"
Zhao Wan'er giggled
"Sister Xiaonuan, I will pay attention, don't worry."
Su Nuan had no choice but to look at her helplessly. After shopping for a while, she sent Zhao Wan'er home.
