"Twenty million isn't too expensive. Once you finish making the Hazmat Suit, I'll pay you," Lu Xiaoran said.
The middle-aged man hesitated and slowly replied, "Twenty million is indeed a significant amount. You can wait until the Hazmat Suit is completed to pay, but we do require a deposit in advance."
After all, if you decide you no longer want it after the Hazmat Suit is made, it would be difficult for us as well.
Lu Xiaoran nodded and asked, "How much is the deposit?"
"I calculated it earlier; the deposit would need to be one million. Does that work for you?"
"Of course, no problem. I'll transfer the money to you tonight," Lu Xiaoran agreed readily.
The middle-aged man smiled upon hearing this; he had secured the order and would earn a decent commission from it.
"My name is Kebotong, and I'm the sales manager at Gu'an Division. Here’s my business card." He handed a card to Lu Xiaoran.
Lu Xiaoran took the card, glanced at it, and added Kebotong on WeChat.
"By the way, I have another question." Seemingly recalling something, Lu Xiaoran turned back to Kebotong. "This Hazmat Suit needs to be completed within three weeks. Can you guarantee that?"
"No problem at all. Our company values efficiency; we can complete a Hazmat Suit in about two weeks," Kebotong confidently replied.
After completing the paperwork, Lu Xiaoran left the Gu'an Division's lobby.
Once outside, Lu Xiaoran headed across the street to a jewelry store.
As soon as he entered, a young female clerk with exquisite makeup greeted him with a smile. "Welcome! If you're looking for jewelry, I can make some recommendations."
Lu Xiaoran nodded at her. "I'm getting married next month and want to choose a piece of jewelry for my wife. Do you have any high-end pieces you could recommend?"
He casually fabricated this story; his real intention was to access the most expensive jewelry in the store and replicate it using his Ability.
"Please follow me," the clerk said as she led Lu Xiaoran toward a display case in the center of the store.
Since Lu Xiaoran had expressed interest in their high-end jewelry, the clerk was eager to seize this opportunity for a big sale. After all, the more expensive the jewelry he bought, the higher her commission would be.
Now she brought Lu Xiaoran to this display case, where the jewelry showcased was mostly priced between two hundred to three hundred thousand. The saleswoman had already prepared herself mentally; if Lu Xiaoran found the jewelry too expensive, she could take him to see other display cases with cheaper options. In any case, she wouldn't be at a loss.
"First, take a look at this bracelet; it's made of pure gold. This pearl pendant features a specially selected Australian White Pearl. And here is a Jade Bracelet..." The saleswoman introduced the jewelry in the display case as if she were reciting her treasured knowledge.
Lu Xiaoran pretended to carefully select, holding the pieces in his hands and examining them closely. After looking through the ten or so types of jewelry in the display case, he feigned dissatisfaction, slightly furrowing his brow. "Jewelry priced at two to three hundred thousand feels rather ordinary to me. Do you have anything more high-end in your store?"
After all, marriage is a significant event in one's life, something that happens only once. Since he wanted to give a gift, he wished to present the best to his wife.
The saleswoman was taken aback by Lu Xiaoran's words. She had thought he would find the jewelry too expensive, but instead, he felt it was too cheap. It seemed she had been too conservative earlier.
"I understand what you mean now. Please follow me over here," she said, leading Lu Xiaoran to another display case.
"This is where we showcase our most expensive jewelry."
