Don't talk about him, not even Li Chuchu on the side.
Zhang Yan bought a bracelet worth more than 400,000 yuan?!
How is that even possible?
He had been working hard for the past three years, and his total earnings barely reached 400,000 yuan.
However, the teller repeated with certainty, "Four hundred and sixty-six thousand, six hundred yuan, ma'am."
This confirmed that Zhang Yan had indeed purchased it, leaving Sun Min and Li Chuchu even more shocked.
The two exchanged glances, disbelief and astonishment reflected in each other's eyes.
The teller, noticing their silence and confusion, cautiously asked, "Excuse me, is there anything else I can assist you with?"
"No… no…" Sun Min stuttered, struggling to find her words.
Realizing they had no further questions, the teller smiled politely and said, "I wish you both a pleasant shopping experience in our store," before proceeding upstairs with the items and documents for Zhang Yan.
Sun Min and Li Chuchu, overwhelmed by what they had just witnessed, didn't linger in the store for long. After exchanging another bewildered look, they hurriedly left and found a quiet corner to talk.
"Chuchu, how on earth is Zhang Yan so wealthy?! Didn't you say that his salary for the past three years was deposited into your account? You even mentioned lending that money to Li Minghui. How could he still have so much money left to afford such expensive jewelry?!" Sun Min's tone was laced with both disbelief and irritation.
She had always believed she had secured a "big fish," only to feel as though it had slipped out of her grasp before she could enjoy its benefits.
Li Chuchu was equally stunned and confused. "I don't know either. I've kept track of Zhang Yan's salary every month, and there's no way he could have saved up this much money."
"Then how on earth did he suddenly come up with so much money overnight and afford a bracelet costing more than 400,000 yuan?"
Suddenly, a thought struck Li Chuchu. If she hadn't broken up with Zhang Yan, wouldn't this expensive bracelet have been meant for her?
The realization hit her like a ton of bricks, and she felt as though she had lost a fortune worth millions.
"This doesn't make sense. Something's not right," Sun Min muttered, shaking her head in disbelief. "There has to be something going on with Zhang Yan!"
"Daughter, let's not do anything else today. Let's just follow him!"
"I want to find out whether this kid is really rich or if he's just putting on an act!"
Li Chuchu thought for a moment and agreed. She, too, was desperate to uncover what had changed in Zhang Yan's life overnight.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yan had left the Cartier store with the luxurious bracelet in hand.
Unaware that Sun Min and Li Chuchu were tailing him, he continued browsing through the commercial building.
In the store earlier, he had completed the requirements for his god-level selection system, triggering a double rebate for two hours of shopping. The bracelet he had purchased was part of the reward.
Zhang Yan had initially assumed that the "double rebate" would simply return double the amount he spent—he'd get the 400,000 yuan back and effectively receive the bracelet for free.
To his surprise, the system turned out to be far more generous. Not only was the 400,000 yuan reimbursed, but an additional 800,000 yuan had also been credited to his account.
In essence, he hadn't spent a single penny, received the bracelet, and gained an extra 800,000 yuan. Considering the bracelet's original value, the system had effectively tripled his rebate.
This unexpected windfall left Zhang Yan ecstatic. How could he pass up such an opportunity to take full advantage of the system's generosity?
Realizing he still had time left within the two-hour rebate window, Zhang Yan decided to make the most of it and continued shopping in the mall.
He had long wanted to upgrade his wardrobe. Now, with his newfound wealth and status, his current attire, consisting of inexpensive clothes from street markets, felt far beneath him.
Besides, he was about to meet Shen Qing soon. While she had never judged him for his appearance, Zhang Yan felt it was only appropriate to present himself decently when visiting her company.
With this in mind, Zhang Yan headed to the floor where luxury brands were located.
It didn't take long for him to enter Zegna, one of the top international brands on par with Armani. In fact, Zhang Yan preferred Zegna, as it wasn't as plagued by imitations as Armani often was.
With the help of a shopping guide, Zhang Yan selected a casual suit from Zegna's ZZegna series.
Compared to formal suits, the ZZegna collection exuded a younger, more relaxed vibe, perfectly complementing Zhang Yan's personality and age.
Once he tried on the suit, the transformation was astonishing. From a moderately attractive young man, Zhang Yan suddenly radiated the aura of a wealthy and sophisticated individual.
Zhang Yan had always been good-looking, earning an 80 on a scale of 100 even in his everyday attire.
It wasn't hard to see why people had often joked that his relationship with Shen Qing was like a flower growing on cow dung.
Now, with his new outfit, Zhang Yan's appearance easily jumped to a solid 90.
The female staff in the store couldn't help but light up with admiration as Zhang Yan stepped out of the fitting room in his new attire.
