Chapter 16 – Shopping Spree

“Miss, is your heart uncomfortable?

But I’ve checked you many times. Aside from being in an unexplained sleep state, your body is very healthy.”

Wen Qinghe was afraid he might think too much, so she told Jiang Zhou,

“I have a friend whose younger sister has congenital heart disease. She asked me to buy some special medicine for treating it.

Please prepare some for me. This friend values me a lot.

The sooner the better, preferably before sunset tomorrow.”

“Oh, and also prepare some daily medication as well. Be quick about it!”

Jiang Zhou: …………

What kind of friend is this that it’s so urgent?

But then again, for a heart disease patient, medication couldn’t be delayed. So he immediately began preparing the medicines.

……

Wen Qinghe couldn’t sleep. Simply put, she started up her little pink Maserati sports car and went out for a spin, taking in the bustling 2023 traffic, the neon lights, and nightlife.

Not for anything else—just that perhaps tomorrow she’d have to return to that barren, backward era. Tonight, she had to indulge in a good round of spending.

The capital city was truly a sleepless city. Though it was already eleven at night, the malls were still brightly lit as if it were daytime, with no signs of closing.

Crowds of shoppers strolled around in twos and threes. Looking back at the list she’d written earlier, she realized that although she’d prepared skincare products, she hadn’t bought any makeup yet.

Even if she rarely wore makeup thanks to her natural beauty, still—girls might not wear makeup, but they definitely couldn’t go without makeup products~

As soon as she reached the counter, she generously swept clean the stock of the most popular lipstick shades.

The salesgirls, delighted at such a bold and lavish customer with such a huge demand, quickly closed the counter doors to serve only her.

They watched as Wen Qinghe bought up every available shade of foundation, loose powder, mascara, eyeliner, eyeshadow, blush, highlighter, contour—every trending makeup product in stock.

Everyone was grinning from ear to ear. Their performance this month was secured!

Out of sheer professional restraint, they didn’t rush over to shout: Rich lady, let us cling to your thigh!

But… with Miss Wen only having two legs, perhaps there wouldn’t be enough space for them all to cling.

If Wen Qinghe knew what they were thinking, she would only say: Nonsense, my golden thigh is thick enough. To me, money is just a string of numbers~

……

After finishing her makeup purchases, she moved on to her favorite lingerie brand. Without even looking at styles, she directly bought up every item in her size that was currently in stock.

Time was pressing—there was no time to browse.

She placed the order in one go, swiped her card, and ordered the items packed and delivered straight to her villa before hurrying to the next counter.

She never expected that the store’s entire stock also included an intimate lingerie series.

Later on, when a certain country bumpkin discovered these, his eyes would practically fall out of his head in awe.

Wen Qinghe had paid quite a price for that.

But that was a story for another day.

……

As for clothes, she had already instructed the company to prepare complete seasonal wardrobes in her size—spring, summer, autumn, winter—covering both daily wear and at-home outfits.

Her only requirements: colors should be as plain and conservative as possible, styles should be simple, with long skirts and pants for summer, and mostly shirts and casual pants for spring and autumn.

She also requested 100 pairs of shoes per season in her size, the plainer and more outdated the better.

Compared with her usual wardrobe swaps, these were just small numbers.

The company manager handling the order was stunned, worried he had misunderstood the young miss’s request. He confirmed it several times:

“So it’s conservative, plain, outdated?”

Once confirmed, he thanked her profusely.

Finally, there was an outlet for all the outdated clothes and surplus shoe stock clogging up their warehouse!

The young miss had solved a huge problem for them.

That night, Wen Corporation’s fashion company was still brightly lit at midnight, staff working overtime to sort the “ugly clothes and ugly shoes” their young miss wanted.

In truth, “ugly” was relative. Nowadays, consumer aesthetics were diverse, with people preferring unique styles.

Even designs by the company’s interns were popular.

What piled up in inventory were usually simple-cut garments in the largest and smallest sizes.

And since Wen Qinghe happened to wear the smallest XS, finding them wasn’t too difficult—just time-consuming.

But the young miss wanted everything urgently, so the entire company workforce pitched in.

By the time they finished assembling one hundred full outfits and shoes for each of the four seasons, it was already past midnight.

Fortunately, the young miss had given clear instructions: no matter how late they worked tonight, everyone would get a day off tomorrow.

Meanwhile, late-night strollers noticed Wen Corporation’s fashion branch bustling with huge shipments being carried out.

Since this brand’s clothes were normally hard to buy, people were amazed to see such large-scale deliveries.

They sighed that this brand truly had no low or high season. One could always trust Wen Corporation’s purchasing power—it was like witnessing the grand opening of a new store even at 2 a.m.

This scene was quickly posted online, sparking another wave of consumer excitement.

Even Wen Corporation’s stock price surged as a result…

……

With clothes and shoes settled, what remained was entertainment.

Though she didn’t have to work in the fields, without electronics or entertainment, being stuck in a tiny room was unbearably boring.

So she went to the Apple counter and bought out every available laptop and tablet in stock. Her only requirement: every device had to be pre-loaded with popular movies and novels, and fully charged.

After paying and arranging delivery to her villa, it was already past 1 a.m.

When she stepped out of the mall, the aroma wafting from the snack street across the road hit her nose, making her mouth water.

So she generously called the person in charge of the snack street and booked the whole street.

She told the vendors to cook as much as they could until five in the morning, and she would buy it all.

The vendors were overjoyed—such a godsend customer was rare.

They put all their energy into working nonstop, unwilling to waste a single second. Every minute lost was money lost!

Even as they worked, they wondered: Which rich young lady is ordering night snacks for her entire staff?

This level of happiness was almost too much…

……

After paying the deposit to the snack street manager, Wen Qinghe prepared to head back to the villa.

By then, the deliveries from the counters had already arrived. She had to speed up and move everything into her space, since she had plenty to do the next day.

After returning, she swiftly stored away the makeup, lingerie, and seasonal clothes and shoes.

Then she hurried back to the snack street, paid the vendors the balance, and had them load all the freshly made food into the extended nanny van she had brought.

Once everything was transferred into her space, she glanced at her watch—it was just past 5 a.m.

Dawn had broken. A brand-new day was beginning.

The streets were quiet, with only a few scattered pedestrians.

The rising sun, which should have been golden, was dulled by Beijing’s haze.

Having grown up in the capital, Wen Qinghe was used to such smoggy mornings, where dust in the air was the norm and masks were indispensable.

Her villa district, home to the wealthy and powerful, had air purifiers and excellent greenery.

But compared to Hongxing Brigade—though decades behind in development—the village’s air quality was far better.

If supplies were abundant, living in such a small countryside village, enjoying the pristine natural environment as if on a long vacation, wouldn’t be bad at all.

……

Since it was still early, she drove to Tiangongyuan, where the best steamed soup buns were sold.

When she arrived, only a few early risers buying breakfast and exercising were there, and just a handful of diners sat inside.

Mm, wonderful—no queues today!
