For many children, a department store is probably the dream of their childhood.
Yue Qingqing gazed at the array of snacks and many interesting toys, her heart could not help but flutter with excitement.
After all, with a wealthy and indulging mother to rely on, Yue Qingqing picked out the largest basket without any hesitation.
The mall was bustling with people, packed to the doors with customers.
It was Yue Qingqing who had chosen the location of this building in the first place.
Originally, Yue Jiandong had earmarked three buildings and couldn’t make up his mind.
Lin Chunju jokingly suggested that he should take Yue Qingqing to have a look at all of them, just like taking a stroll out.
In the end, Yue Qingqing set her sights on this place at first glance.
Officially, she said it was because the lamb soup across the street was the most delicious, but in reality, of course, it was because this area had the most prosperous wealth energy.
Yue Jiandong was still hesitant, but Zhang Ying agreed immediately, without a second thought.
"When we get off work, we can still pack a serving of lamb soup for our daughter, right?"
While Yue Jiandong felt that his wife’s reasoning was somewhat speechless, he went with the majority: both his wife and Yingzi had agreed, so he reluctantly signed the contract.
The developer later gave him some inside information.
The day after the contract was signed, someone from Yongle Group came over and said they were interested in this piece of land.
It was Yue Jiandong’s luck that he acted first and got the upper hand.
And as it turned out, this choice was indeed correct.
Six months later, this area was announced as one of the key planning regions by the government and several new bus routes were added.
It was very convenient for people from any district of Zhuancheng to come here.
The department store had four floors, each with different layouts.
From small fruits and vegetables to trendy electronics, everything could be purchased here.
Yue Qingqing was leisurely browsing through each floor, her small basket gradually filling with snacks.
She mumbled to herself, planning which ones were for Xingxing and which were for Xiaohu.
Yue Qingqing let out a sly laugh, hugging her basket even tighter.
"Qingqing, why have you picked up so much stuff? Let uncle help you carry it down," offered a familiar shop owner with a helping hand.
But Yue Qingqing shook her head, "Thank you, uncle, but it’s not heavy, I can carry it myself."
Behind her, someone sighed with amazement, "This child is really strong."
Before she knew it, Yue Qingqing had wandered up to the fourth floor, which was relatively high-end.
Unlike the department store on the first floor and the variety of fresh vegetables and fruits on the second floor, the fourth floor was decorated more elegantly, and there was a faint scent of perfume drifting in from somewhere.
Yue Qingqing suddenly spotted a jade store and, after a moment’s thought, walked in.
It’s polite to return a favor; the Third Senior Brother planned to gift her a life-bound magic treasure, so naturally, Yue Qingqing also thought of a gift in return.
Yue Qingqing scratched her head, thinking of Jiang Jingze’s wrist, which had that rarely removed, slightly faded and frayed red string.
It was time to replace it for him.
The staff member happened to know Yue Qingqing and came over very warmly.
"Miss Yue, what would you like to buy?"
The words ’Miss Yue’ made Yue Qingqing feel a bit uncomfortable, but she didn’t say much and her eyes, through the thick glass, landed on the various jade objects in the counter.
As one of Zhuancheng’s top department stores, the quality of the jade sold here was quite good.
A green jade bracelet was placed in the center, and even with Yue Qingqing’s discerning eyes, it looked to be of very good quality.
But to give a bracelet to Senior Brother Yan or to Jiang Jingze was obviously very inappropriate.
Yue Qingqing’s gaze shifted and fell upon a safety pendant next to it.
"Could I take a look at this one?" she asked.
At the same time, Zhuang Rouhui also came to the department store.
She had a clear goal and went straight to the fourth floor.
Zhuang Rouhui had not been having a good time lately.
The alienation from the Li Family, the veiled mockery from the circle of ladies, and Li Fuhong’s nights out had turned Zhuang Rouhui into a keg of gunpowder, just waiting for a spark to set her off.
A bad mood calls for venting, and Zhuang Rouhui had heard that the largest department store in the city had a boutique that just got in a shipment of imported designer clothes.
In her opinion, shopping was undoubtedly the best way to vent.
After all, Li Fuhong’s fortune was brought by her, so spending his money when he’s not around was also a joyful thing!
