Chapter 13 – Prepare for a surprise
When Mary Xiao walked out of the Xiao Group, she was overwhelmed with excitement.
Tomorrow, her grandmother would officially announce her new appointment, and she would finally be able to hold her head high!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but say to James Ye, "James, thank you! If it weren't for your encouragement, I wouldn't have dared to take on this task."
James smiled and said, "Honey, you deserve it."
Then, he added, "By the way, honey, such a big happy event, shouldn't we celebrate?"
Mary nodded, "How do you want to celebrate?"
James laughed, "It's almost our third wedding anniversary, why don't we celebrate both together? I'll take care of the arrangements, you don't have to worry about a thing."
Mary asked in surprise, "Are you planning a surprise for me?"
"Exactly!" James nodded, smiling, "I want to give you a surprise!"
Mary felt a sweet warmth in her heart and said, "Then I won't ask for the details!"
James said, "No need to ask, just wait and see!"
To prepare a special wedding anniversary for his wife, James had thought of many plans.
Overall, it was all about making up for the past. After all, he used to be poor, couldn't afford to buy gifts for his wife, and hadn't even given her a proper wedding. Now that he had money, he had to make it up to her properly.
After parting ways with his wife, James went alone to a jewelry store called Emerald Pavilion in the center of Jinling.
Emerald Pavilion was the most famous jewelry store in the area.
Gold, platinum, diamonds, jade, and emeralds, they had it all.
James wanted to buy a gift for his wife first, and then book a belated wedding at the best hotel.
When he arrived at Emerald Pavilion, the salespeople saw him wearing a four-striped Adidas jacket and couldn't be bothered to pay him any attention.
James looked around for a while and spotted a jade necklace locked in a display case.
The necklace was made of the finest ice jade, exquisite and elegant, very fitting for Mary Xiao's temperament.
James looked at the price tag—thirteen million. It was a small matter for him.
So he called over a salesperson and said, "Hello, could you please take out this necklace for me to see?"
The salesperson glanced at James and said, "I don't have the key; it's with our manager."
Then, he used the walkie-talkie and said, "Manager Wang, someone wants to see our store's treasure!"
Soon, a flamboyantly dressed woman came running over excitedly. Her name was Beyonce Wang, the sales manager.
"Which distinguished guest wants to see our store's treasure?"
The salesperson pointed at James and said, "Manager Wang, it's this gentleman."
"What?" Beyonce Wang looked at James and immediately felt disgusted, as if she had swallowed a fly.
How could a loser like him afford the store's treasure?
Thinking of this, she immediately said to the male salesperson, "Xiao Liu, are you fucking kidding me?"
The salesperson said, "No, this gentleman really wants to see the store's treasure."
Beyonce Wang cursed, "How could a loser afford the store's treasure? Are you fucking blind? If you're blind, just say so and get out of here before you piss me off!"
Beyonce Wang prided herself on her ability to judge people accurately.@@novelbin@@
She could tell at a glance what kind of person someone was and what their purchasing power was.
So, she immediately judged that James was just a poor loser.
He couldn't even afford a thirteen-hundred-dollar necklace, let alone a thirteen-million-dollar treasure!
Wasn't this just a waste of her time?
The male salesperson didn't dare to speak after being scolded. James frowned and asked her, "Aren't you in business to sell? What's the problem with me wanting to see this necklace?"
Beyonce Wang sneered, "We are in business, but we don't do business with idiots. If you can't afford it, don't come here to make a scene!"
James frowned and asked, "Which eye of yours sees that I can't afford it?"
"Haha!"
Beyonce Wang said disdainfully, "This jade is worth over ten million. How are you going to buy it? I know, you just want me to take it out so you can take a picture and show off on social media, right?"
With that, Beyonce Wang crossed her arms over her chest, looking arrogant and full of contempt.
Hearing that the jade was worth tens of millions, many people around started pointing and whispering, "People like him are really shameless, can't afford it but still want to see it, what's the point?"
"Exactly, showing off without considering his own status. With that outfit, how could he deserve such a fine jade?"
"Let me tell you, there are too many idiots like this nowadays!"
James glanced at Beyonce Wang behind the counter, seeing her sneering at him with disdain, he had already made up his mind to teach this snobbish woman a lesson!
So, James took out his phone and dialed Anthony Tang's number.
"Come to Emerald Pavilion, bring thirteen million in cash. I want it here in ten minutes."
"No problem, young master, I'm on my way."
Beyonce Wang sneered, "Stupid asshole, still acting? Thirteen million in cash, I've never seen that much cash in my life. I hope you can open my eyes! Do you even know that cash over a million needs to be pre-ordered with the bank? Haha, you're fucking hilarious!"
James nodded and said, "Since you've never seen that much cash, you'll see it soon."
A quick look at " will leave you more fulfilled.
Everyone around started talking.
"Being poor isn't the problem, the problem is pretending to be rich..."
"Haha, this guy doesn't look like a rich person at all. Thirteen million, if he can come up with three hundred thousand, I'll call him dad!"
"I just want to see what thirteen million in cash looks like!"
Hearing everyone siding with her, Beyonce Wang couldn't help but smile. She couldn't wait to see how that poor guy would handle the situation when he couldn't produce the cash.
A few minutes later, several Rolls-Royces suddenly stopped at the entrance of Emerald Pavilion.
Then, eight bodyguards in black suits got out of the first two Rolls-Royces.
They were carrying black briefcases, their muscles taut, faces stern, exuding a chilling aura that made the atmosphere around them heavy.
This scene immediately shocked everyone in Emerald Pavilion!
Who could this big shot be, with such an impressive entourage!
What do you think?
