Hmm, not bad! This position is great! I never expected to take over as the financial supervisor from Lin Shihui!
After work, when I returned to my rented place, Rong came over. Jiang Guangming felt angry upon seeing him but didn't dare to express it. As a bodyguard for the Wan family, it was truly useless to see Jiang Jun scared.
Rong seemed unaware of what Jiang Guangming was thinking.
"Mr. Jiang, Master Wan asked me to check in on you and see what kind of job you got at Jiahua Clothing Company?"
"Financial supervisor!"
"Really? That's a good position! Didn't you say he was your enemy? Why would he give you such a good role?"
"What enemy? You heard wrong! I'm his uncle by marriage; he calls me uncle, so of course, he has to give me a good position! How do you know Jiang Jun?"
What? Uncle by marriage? Did I really hear that wrong? It can't be; didn't he want me to deal with him? That almost got me killed!
"I met him last time when I was with Master Wan at the Chamber of Commerce Grand Hotel. At that time, Jiang Jun brought a very beautiful girlfriend, and Master Wan wanted to meet her. But there was a misunderstanding, and a conflict broke out! We got hurt. By the way, Mr. Jiang, please don't mention this incident or today's events!"
Jiang Guangming understood what Rong meant; today’s incident referred to him running away upon seeing Jiang Jun. An idea suddenly struck Jiang Guangming.
"I won't say anything. Rong, don't worry!"
"If it gets out and Master Wan finds out, you'll be in trouble!"
"Yes, I know Master Wan's temper well. Rong, can you help me out and lend me some money? My old man’s birthday is coming up; I can't go back empty-handed!"
Damn, is this a hush money request? However, he does look like he’s out of cash.
"How much do you need? I can lend you up to ten thousand!"
"That’s enough; I'll buy a gift worth around ten thousand; that should be decent enough."
The two quickly completed the loan paperwork. Jiang Guangming planned to stroll around the street and buy the gift at the same time.
"I'll give you a ride!" Rong also planned to head back and understood where Jiang Guangming was going.
Once they reached the street, Jiang Guangming got out of the car while Rong went back. Jiang Guangming wandered along the street, focusing on places where he might buy something like at the Golden Jewelry Store or Goldsmith Shop. It seemed that Jiang Guangming wanted to purchase gold or silver jewelry.
If any woman had a birthday, giving gold or silver jewelry as a gift would be nice. Now it was his old man's birthday; Jiang Guangming must have had some reason for buying such items—perhaps for convenience!
Before long, Jiang Guangming found an emerald necklace in a jewelry store that looked stunning and caught his eye. After hesitating several times in front of the emerald piece, he finally decided to buy it. The price was easy to remember: 8,888 yuan!
Hehe, I bought such an extravagant gift; I must outshine Jiang Jun and make my father look down on him!
Jiang Jun was in a great mood! He hoped that Jiang Guangming would forget to buy a gift. As for Jiang Guangming, he was going to Qingcheng to celebrate his grandfather's birthday, so he naturally needed to buy a gift as well.
Jiang Jun arrived at the largest gift shop in Ningzhou, called the Noble Gift Store. Upon entering, he noticed that there weren't many people inside because the gifts were too expensive, and there were only a few buyers.
As soon as Jiang Jun walked in, two salespeople saw him and initially wanted to greet him warmly. However, upon realizing he was just an ordinary young man dressed simply, they lost interest and pretended not to see him, continuing their conversation.
"Sir, what would you like to buy?" One young salesperson noticed that no one was attending to Jiang Jun and enthusiastically approached him.
"Haha, Mei, it seems you just started working and don't know how to read people. A poor guy like him can't afford anything expensive, right? He's probably just here to look around," laughed one of the salespeople who had previously walked away, completely disregarding that Jiang Jun could hear her words.
Mei smiled and continued to look at Jiang Jun.
"Let me browse first!" Jiang Jun hadn't decided on anything specific yet, so he could only take a look and see if anything suitable caught his eye.
"Oh, I'll accompany you! Let me introduce you to our store's products. We have high-end gifts categorized into several types: health products, art pieces, watches, gold and silver jewelry, royal items, antiques, and more. Sir, which category would you like to see?"
The salesperson named Mei ignored the advice of her colleagues and maintained her enthusiasm.
"I'll just look through everything!"
Jiang Jun knew that his grandfather's family was quite large and owned many valuable items. Therefore, he didn't want to buy anything too common or typical.
High-end watches, famous paintings, ginseng and bird's nest—Jiang Jun felt these were not suitable purchases. He definitely wouldn't buy gold or silver jewelry either! So he quickly passed through those areas without giving them much thought. Mei didn't even have time to introduce what she thought were good items before he moved on.
The other salespeople looked at Mei, still following Jiang Jun, with puzzled expressions.
They reached the last section—the royal items area. Mei explained that this area displayed items used by ancient royalty, including writing brushes, ink, paper, desks and chairs, bowls and chopsticks, dragon robes, phoenix crowns, and more.
Jiang Jun seemed interested and began examining the items closely. Suddenly, an inconspicuous wooden box caught his attention.
"Salesperson, what is inside this wooden box?"
"Oh, this is an empty box that ancient queens used to store hairpins. We're selling just the box now!"
Jiang Jun picked it up and examined it closely; he touched it and even sniffed it. "I'll take this box!"
Ah, after browsing for so long, he ended up buying just this wooden box. Mei felt a bit disappointed inside. The experienced salespeople were right; he was clearly someone without money!
Despite this, Mei did not show her disappointment. She carefully took the wooden box and led Jiang Jun to the cashier to pay.
Several older salespeople looked at Jiang Jun with inscrutable expressions as if waiting for a joke to unfold.
"1.88 million!" the cashier announced with an arrogant look directed at Jiang Jun, seemingly convinced that he couldn't afford it.
What? It's so expensive? Mei's mouth dropped open in disbelief; she never expected an empty box to cost this much!
The few older salespeople finally smiled. This kid must have thought an empty wooden box would be cheap, which is why he chose to buy it.
However, their smiles froze before they could fully form. Jiang Jun, upon hearing the price, seemed completely unfazed. He calmly pulled out a card and handed it to the cashier. "Alright! Please charge it!"
What? Is he really going to buy it? The cashier was taken aback for a moment. She quickly took Jiang Jun's card and swiped it! Wow, there really is that much money in the card! The cashier was both surprised and delighted.
Mei was also astonished. Each salesperson earns a commission on the products they sell. Selling such an expensive item would naturally yield a significant commission. She had no prior knowledge of the price of this wooden box; there was no price tag on the product because the prices of these items often fluctuate.
The older salespeople regretted their missed opportunity. Such a big sale went to a newcomer!
After Jiang Jun paid, he picked up the empty box and walked away with flair.
Once Jiang Jun exited the upscale gift shop, he spotted a familiar figure ahead. Who was it? Lin Jingzhu.
After his father's passing, Jiang Jun had been ignoring her, and Lin Jingzhu had been in a bad mood lately, looking dispirited as she walked down the street, appearing dazed. Recently, she often went to bars to drown her sorrows and hadn't been going to work.
Let her be! Seeing her heading into a bar, Jiang Jun was too lazy to bother with her and planned to head back. Suddenly, another familiar figure appeared—who? Gao Wenbin! He was stealthily following Lin Jingzhu from behind.
It turned out Gao Wenbin had just been discharged from the hospital. After his discharge, he noticed Lin Jingzhu's constant gloominess. Gao Wenbin deduced that her bad mood stemmed not only from her father's death but also from Jiang Jun's change in attitude towards her.
