"Sir, your item has been wrapped. Please come this way to settle the bill."

The sales clerk, who felt as if she'd been hit by a pie from the sky, was in extremely high spirits as she spoke to Yang Yan with utmost attentiveness.

This young and handsome customer was very generous, not even haggling before saying he'd pay for it outright.

With this transaction completed, she could pocket a commission of forty thousand.

For her, this was already quite an impressive achievement.

You should know, their industry was one of those where business might be slow for three years but one good sale could sustain them for three.

Such quality clients are truly rare finds.

Moreover, he didn't even flinch, clearly a young, wealthy, eligible bachelor.

Perhaps later on, out of gratitude, he'd treat her to another purchase.

"Alright."

Yang Yan finished speaking and followed the sales clerk to the cashier.

As for the man earlier, he completely ignored him.

By now, the commotion had already caught the attention of everyone in the store.

Whether they were shoppers, sales clerks, or even the store manager, everyone knew that a wealthy customer had bought a piece of ancient jade worth two million without bargaining.

"What's up? You've taken a fancy to that piece of jade?"

Zhou Hanyun looked at Yang Yan, smiling and asking.

"Yeah, it's alright. I kind of like that piece of jade, so I bought it. Two million isn't too high nor too low; it's still acceptable."

Yang Yan said casually.

The sales clerk who had been busy attending to Zhou Hanyun earlier thought Yang Yan was stingy, but now she had completely changed her impression, looking at this attractive couple with eyes full of admiration.

She thought that earlier Zhou Hanyun also seemed to love the jade at her counter. Although it was priced significantly higher, given Yang Yan's generous demeanor, he definitely wasn't someone tight on money.

If Zhou Hanyun asked, even if he wasn't keen, he might not refuse.

Or even if they didn't want that piece, they'd likely pick something else.

The items in her counter were all top-notch; even the cheapest pendant wasn't less than one million.

"I'll go settle the bill first. Wait for me a bit."

Yang Yan said with a smile to Zhou Hanyun.

"Okay, go ahead. I'll keep looking. The jade stones here are quite nice; I'm planning to buy a few pieces myself."

Having said that, Zhou Hanyun returned to the previous counter.

This time, the sales clerk, who was already quite enthusiastic, now put forth 300% enthusiasm in serving Zhou Hanyun.

Meanwhile, her colleagues looked on with envy.

Unfortunately, the store had fairly strict regulations against competing for customers among colleagues; otherwise, someone would have surely been unable to resist joining in.

Yang Yan approached the cashier and pulled out a Premier Royal Black Card from Dubai, causing another commotion.

Most people who spent here were either rich or influential.

Even among the sales staff, some had trained their eyes to recognize wealth.

A few people recognized the origin of this black card and immediately quietly educated those around them.

As a result, Yang Yan once again garnered looks of admiration and envy.

After successfully paying two million Huaxia Coins, the store manager personally came over and respectfully handed Yang Yan a VIP card.

According to him, holding this card would grant an 85% discount at any of their chain stores nationwide.

Yang Yan just smiled without saying anything, took the card, and turned to leave.

"Did you settle the bill?"

Zhou Hanyun asked with a smile.

"Yeah! Did you find anything you liked? If so, I'll buy it for you."

Yang Yan lightly nodded and asked.

Zhou Hanyun gently shook her head:

"Not at the moment. Although they all look nice, none gave me that heart-stopping feeling. Never mind, let's go to other places and see."

As she spoke, Zhou Hanyun had already put down a glass jade bracelet.

Yang Yan quickly glanced at the price tag, a staggering thirteen million eight hundred eighty-eight thousand.

He could see Zhou Hanyun genuinely wasn't being modest.

This pair of jade bracelets wasn't vivid enough, and the price of over ten million was indeed a bit high.

Even with a VIP card in hand, purchasing it wasn't worthwhile.

He believed that if he was going to gift Zhou Hanyun, unless she personally liked it, the gift must be the best to truly suit her.

Thus, amid the sales clerk's disappointed gaze, Yang Yan and Zhou Hanyun walked out of the store side by side, heading towards other places.

Just as Yang Yan stepped out, a smile on his face suddenly stiffened.

He distinctly felt an ominous gaze locked onto him from not far away.

He knew without looking who it was.

But such a minor character didn't pique his interest.

If he didn't seek trouble, it would be fine.

Once he really dared to cross him, he'd surely show him why flowers are so red.

"What's special about this piece of jade?"

Zhou Hanyun suddenly asked.

"How about it? Did you notice something?"

Yang Yan didn't answer directly but turned his head with a playful smile to ask in return.

"Don't I know you? With that look on your face like you found a billion, who wouldn't notice."

Zhou Hanyun rolled her eyes at him and said with a huff.

"Is it that obvious? Whatever, you really guessed it right. I indeed found something good. But you might not believe it; I'm not sure what it specifically is. Let's just say it's a very special thing, very useful to me. It's truly a treasure."

Yang Yan said with a smile.

Hearing Yang Yan's words, Zhou Hanyun thoughtfully nodded and didn't probe further.

She knew that item must be very important to Yang Yan. Since even he couldn't quite say what it was, there was no need to pry too much.

"Let's go! We've been out for a while; I'm getting hungry. Let's find a place to eat."

Zhou Hanyun suggested.

Her words were right up Yang Yan's alley.

He instinctively rubbed his stomach:

"Now that you mention it, I do feel a bit hungry. How about we go have Crossing Bridge Noodles?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Hanyun immediately nodded.

Since they were in Spring City, the capital of Cainan Province, they had to try the local specialty Crossing Bridge Noodles.

Otherwise, it would be like a wasted trip.

Crossing Bridge Noodles are a local snack, quite tasty.

Various brands of chain stores emerge one after another, with branches nationwide.

However, the noodle dish has various grades, categorized by titles like Top Scholar, Imperial Scholar, Cultivated Talent, and so on.

Among them, Top Scholar is naturally the most expensive.

But when it comes to authenticity, it's always the local Noodles in Cainan.

After all, any Huaxia cuisine tends to adapt to local tastes when moved elsewhere, changing some flavors to suit local preferences.

The most typical example is Sichuan cuisine.

Even the hotpot, which Ba Shu natives pride themselves on, would lose its original taste once it leaves Shu Dao, influenced by local dining habits.
