Chapter 141: Year-end Gifts
“Alright, alright, I’ll pack them up for you right away.” The manager beamed with joy. She hadn’t expected to encounter such a big client today. She hurriedly called the shop assistants to pack them together.
After coming out of the gold shop, Gu Wanrong went straight to the liquor and wine sales area without stopping. The dazzling array of fine wines here was overwhelmingâMoutai, wine, champagne, and various other categories.
However, as for alcohol, Gu Wanrong really couldn’t say she liked it much, and her understanding of it was quite limited. She could only “shoot in the dark.”
Lafite, Salon, Krug, Balvenie, Dom PĂ©rignon… she picked some of each of these well-known names. Of course, she didn’t miss well-known domestic white spirit brands like Moutai.
After coming out of the duty-free shop, she didn’t know what the employees of the shops she had visited would think of her. Buying so much alcoholâshe must be either a purchasing agent or a drunkard.
Just as she was thinking about what else besides alcohol could be used for year-end gifts, she suddenly thought that electronic products and expensive watches were also good choices.
As she thought, a cautious voice came from beside her: “Miss, it’s almost time for the restaurant reservation. Why don’t you go over to eat first? I will arrange for someone to purchase the rest for you here.”
Hearing this, Gu Wanrong touched her stomach and indeed felt a bit hungry. She agreed, “Okay, you know what else needs to be bought, so I’ll leave it to you.”
Since starting from the hotel and arriving at the duty-free city, although Gu Wanrong seemed to be effortless with her grand gestures, she had visited many shops. Even just walking had made her tired.
Gu Wanrong arrived at the pre-booked restaurant. This restaurant was located on the third floor, with exquisite and elegant decoration and a quiet and pleasant environment.
As soon as she entered the door, a well-trained waiter greeted her with a smile and led her to a prime position by the window.
Sitting in this position, as long as she raised her eyes slightly to look out, she could have a full view of the entire duty-free city.
After Gu Wanrong sat down, the waiter quickly handed over the menu. Under the waiter’s recommendation, she casually ordered a few signature dishes.
In the interval of waiting for the meal, she took out her phone and checked the progress of the gift purchasing.
Seeing that all the arrangements on the screen were proceeding in an orderly fashion, she smiled with satisfaction.
Meanwhile, Mangmang remained dedicated to her role as a documentary photographer.
She concentrated on finding various best shooting angles, and the shutter of her camera was constantly pressed, trying to capture every wonderful moment of Gu Wanrong.
When she felt she had taken enough, she slowly put down her camera, let out a light sigh, and sat down in her seat.
At this time, as if suddenly remembering something, Mangmang gently nudged the person next to her with her elbow. “Hey!” she asked curiously in a low voice, “Ms. Gu bought so many things just now; are they all for her company employees?”
The person she asked glanced quickly at Mangmang and easily captured the curiosity she couldn’t hide. Out of kindness, they nodded as an answer.
Mangmang wanted to ask something more, but when her gaze touched the other person’s unrelaxed look, all the words on the tip of her tongue were hard-swallowed back. She didn’t continue asking.
Despite this, the “little person” deep in her heart was scratching like it was going crazy.
“My god! Who would have thought? I always thought she was just a quiet little assistant, but she’s actually Ms. Guâs bodyguard!”
“Help! What kind of company gives gold as year-end gifts! This is too enviable.”
“05 Lafite, 08 Salon, 40-year Balvenieâevery bottle is twenty or thirty thousand. I’ve never drunk them in my life. What would one sip taste like…?”
“If I resign from the studio now, will Ms. Gu want me? I’m not after Ms. Guâs employee year-end gifts, I’m really not!”
Mangmang, who had a lot of internal drama, also had facial expressions that changed back and forth, from widening her eyes to uncontrollably swallowing her saliva.
The person mistaken for a little assistant observed the surrounding situation and naturally didn’t miss Mangmangâs colorful expressions. The corners of their mouth twitched slightly, though not obviously.
Shopping is intoxicating and also makes people happy.
After resting, Gu Wanrong dove back into the duty-free shop, full of energy and shopping like crazy.
However, this time, she no longer bought dozens of sets of each product like before, but focused on choosing for herself.
The luggage and bag brands in the duty-free city didn’t include the Hermes and Chanel brands that Gu Wanrong usually carried. This was just right for Gu Wanrong to bring in new stock for her bags and add some fresh blood.
For example, Longchamp’s classic paper-white “dumpling bag” looked quite good with a coat in winter, and it had a large capacity. Umbrellas, tissues, notebooksâeverything could be stuffed inside. Although Gu Wanrong rarely needed to carry these items herself when going out, as long as she liked it, she would buy it.
The short-handle small pink bag was also very cute. It was small and exquisite, and carrying it in her hand was very light. It would definitely be cuter with a plush toy hanging on it. Thus, this small pink bag was also included in her haul.
Gu Wanrong had many Cartier pieces, but she didn’t have all the styles.
She fell in love with the rose gold diamond-encrusted “Nail” necklace at first sight. Her skin was white, and wearing it made her look even whiter, not to mention it emitted an exquisite and charming aura.
She hadn’t started with their watches yet. Gu Wanrong casually selected a mechanical watch, which was very low-key on her wrist.
In Qeelin, there was a rose gold diamond pink opal bracelet that looked good on the hand. When it was gently worn on the wrist, the soft and warm pink tone complemented the skin. Gu Wanrong nodded with satisfaction.
She wandered around more, successively entering the shops of well-known watch brands like Longines, IWC, and Jaeger-LeCoultre. After some selection and buying several exquisite watches, Gu Wanrong ended todayâs duty-free city trip.
Perhaps because she had seen and acquired too many high-end jewelry pieces in her daily life, most of those in the duty-free city could hardly arouse her interest.
Although Gu Wanrong was sighing in her heart, the accompanying personnel were carrying various packaging bags in their hands. These were the results of what she called “buying very little.”
There were many people in the duty-free shop like them carrying shopping bags of all sizes, so Gu Wanrong and her group weren’t conspicuous.
But the premise of this was that all of Gu Wanrongâs morning purchases were shipped by post.
At this time, at the entrance of the duty-free city, the hotel driver, who had received the news, had already parked the car here.
As soon as he saw Gu Wanrong slowly walking out from inside, he quickly went forward, respectfully opened the car door, and thoughtfully protected the roof with his arm to prevent a bump.
The three-day Sanya trip ended here. Next was Fashion Week.
Translator’s Note: “Dumpling bag” (é„șćć ) is the common Chinese nickname for the Longchamp Le Pliage due to its shape. “Nail” necklace refers to the Cartier Juste un Clou collection. “Qeelin” is a high-end luxury jewelry brand with Chinese-inspired designs (like the Wulu/gourd). Gu Wanrong’s “buying very little” is a classic rich-person trope!
