Supremely Talented Tyrant

"So huge..."

As soon as she stepped into the building, Zhao Yating's small mouth slightly gaped open. At a glance, all she saw were renowned brand stands, some taking up three or four store spaces, others occupying just one or two.

It was only when you walked in that you'd realize there were few items on display, but the decor was uniquely exquisite. Each store you entered gave you a different feeling.

All kinds of styles, all sorts of products, converged and competed here. Though the merchandise was limited, it was exquisite. As you looked over several stores, a dazzling array of products was displayed.

"Wow, this piece of jewelry is so exquisite!"

As soon as Zhao Yating entered the hall, she spotted a jewelry store and quickly grabbed Hao Jian's arm. Hao Jian also guided Zhao Yating toward the store. Zhao Yating immediately noticed a Swarovski necklace behind the counter.

"Sir, Miss, how can I help you?"

Just as Zhao Yating spoke, a sales assistant at the counter, having just finished with another customer, turned to them with a professional smile. Noticing their attire, she showed no sign of disdain, despite her surprise.

Seeing this, Hao Jian chuckled inwardly. It seemed that the staff quality at this store was fairly high. He then pointed to the necklace inside the counter, smiling lightly as he said, "Could you please take out this necklace for us to have a look?"

"Certainly."

The sales assistant smiled slightly, opened the cabinet, took out the Swarovski-embedded necklace, and placed it in front of Hao Jian and Zhao Yating.

"Hey, isn't this that girl's mark?"

Upon holding the necklace, Hao Jian suddenly noticed it bore Yuan Shanshan's mark, which surprised him somewhat initially, but he dismissed it after a moment's thought.

With Shu Ya Group's business expanding and the clientele becoming more upscale, seeing these products wasn't too surprising for him.

"Light blue..."

Gazing at the necklace, Zhao Yating couldn't hide her affection, especially when she saw the gemstone's color and was immediately captivated. She then looked up at Hao Jian, her beautiful eyes filled with delight and a hint of shyness.

Seeing her reaction, Hao Jian simply shook his head with a smile, then handed the necklace to Zhao Yating. He turned to the sales assistant and said with a grin, "We'll take this necklace. Let's swipe the card."

Upon hearing this, the sales assistant smiled slightly, nodded, bent down, and took out a POS machine. She said, "Sir, this necklace, named 'Sky Blue,' is designed by Miss Yuan Shanshan, a top designer from Shu Ya Group, so the price is a bit steep, totaling thirty-five thousand six hundred and sixty-six."

"Sure, go ahead."

Hao Jian nodded without concern and casually tossed his Black Card to the sales assistant. Once she completed the transaction, Hao Jian asked her to wrap the necklace up.

With a price over thirty thousand, he assumed it must be a mass-produced necklace. Hao Jian stroked his chin, wondering if this was one of his company's new products, as he hadn't seen this style of necklace before.

Shaking his head, Hao Jian discarded those thoughts, turned to Zhao Yating, and smiled, "Do you want to buy anything else? If not, we can move on to the next store."

"Hehe, let's go!"

Having obtained the necklace she adored, Zhao Yating was quite happy. She glanced around the jewelry store to see if anything else caught her fancy. Finding nothing else she liked, she nodded and took Hao Jian's arm. He guided her out of the jewelry store.

After finishing this store, Zhao Yating dragged Hao Jian around the first floor of the mall, glancing there, looking here. Every time something caught her eye, Hao Jian delightfully swiped the card.

In just an hour, after Zhao Yating finished shopping on the first floor, Hao Jian was left with five or six bags, containing items collectively worth over one hundred thousand.

But neither Hao Jian nor Zhao Yating blinked an eye at this amount. After all, if they liked it, they'd buy it.

"Hao Jian, let's check out the second floor."

With the first floor covered and no clothes catching her eye, Zhao Yating suggested, and Hao Jian, listening, guided her up to the second floor.

The primary goal for Zhao Yating's shopping today was to find an outfit to wear as a host at an upcoming gala.

As he pushed Zhao Yating, witnessing more foot traffic than on the first floor, and glancing at his own legs, Hao Jian sighed inwardly. In reality, he felt like he'd been shopping for five or six hours, though only an hour had passed.

But there was no choice; Zhao Yating hadn't yet found the clothes she wanted. Hao Jian didn't want to suggest leaving just yet. Besides, he also wanted to help personally choose something for Zhao Yating.

Although there were more people on the second floor compared to the first, the brand standards didn't change too drastically, remaining of similar strength. Hao Jian pushed Zhao Yating around for a bit, and when they found nothing they desired, they proceeded to the third floor.

In this mall, brand tiers rose with the floors. However, there were only eight floors of retail, with the remaining eight designated for entertainment and dining purposes.

After all, the mall is so big, you can't make all of it clothing and jewelry stores, right? Too many monks and too little porridge, so those food stores sprang up along with them.

This is also to maintain the balance and profitability of the mall.

Shopping here and there, after two hours of wandering, Hao Jian arrived at the eighth floor of the mall. They had looked over the seven floors below, going back and forth, but unfortunately, still hadn't found an outfit that Zhao Yating fancied.

Hopefully, they could find something on this floor that the girl would like!

Looking at the eighth floor that only had eight stores, Hao Jian shook his head. These stores are part of the world's top 500 companies, and it's hard to imagine how the owner got them over here.

"Welcome!"

As Hao Jian pushed Zhao Yating into the first clothing store, a sweet voice suddenly came from the right. Hao Jian looked up to see the sales staff with a professional smile.

In this store, which designs clothes specifically for women, Hao Jian glanced around. Seeing those various brands, he raised his eyebrow slightly.

It seems this store isn't simple at all. It includes three or four designers ranked in the top 100 internationally, and even one in the top 10 internationally.

When he looked at the prices of those clothes, his eyes blinked slightly. The cheapest piece here costs at least 200,000, and the most expensive goes up to a million.

Seeing these clothes that are even more expensive than gold, Hao Jian shook his head quietly. No wonder he barely saw anyone on this floor—it turns out it's because of the prices in these stores.

"Hao Jian, look!"

Suddenly, Hao Jian heard Zhao Yating's exclamation, quickly came to his senses, and followed the direction she pointed to see a black long dress with specks of white. The white specks embellished it like starlight, and upon closer inspection, those shining white specks were actually tiny diamonds.

Normally, small diamonds are not worth a second glance, but on this dress, they demonstrated their value. As soon as she saw this dress, Zhao Yating's gaze stayed on it for a long time, unwilling to look away.

But when she saw the price of the dress, her little mouth opened slightly—this dress actually costs a million! Seeing this price shocked Zhao Yating. To her, these small diamonds shouldn't be that valuable; even using so many, it should at most be over a hundred thousand. But this one went directly to a million.

"Sir, Miss, this dress is the proud work of Kelder, who is ranked third among international fashion designers. Due to the difficulty of processing this style, after making ten pieces, Mr. Kelder stopped producing them. These small diamonds were carefully selected by him and set one by one by his own hand, making their value the most affordable."

Limited edition?

Even though she doesn't know this Kelder, the international third rank is a good enough title, not to mention there are only ten of these dresses worldwide. So, this one might be the only one in all of Huaxia.

This coincidentally fits Hao Jian's idea. Zhao Yating is going to be a host, and a host's outfit should not be carelessly chosen. Rarity is precious; the same goes for this dress. If she happened to wear the same outfit as someone else at the celebration, it would be really awkward.

And buying something limited edition like this can better avoid that situation. After all, this celebration is very important for Zhao Yating.

"I thought so."

After hearing the sales assistant's introduction, Hao Jian smiled, and after the sales assistant finished speaking, she stood silently behind them, eyes clear and without any overstepping.

Shopping in stores like these is better; at least the sales assistants have high quality.

"How about it? If you want it, I'll buy it."

Hao Jian chuckled, reaching out to tweak Zhao Yating's nose.

"But it's so expensive..."

Seeing this dress, Zhao Yating was very tempted, but upon seeing the million-dollar price tag, her enthusiasm quickly faded. This isn't something that costs thousands or tens of thousands; a single dress costs a million. Even the Zhao Family wouldn't let her spend recklessly like this...

Moreover, such a dress can only be worn at banquets and ceremonial events. If she wore it on ordinary days, she'd risk being targeted by thieves or robbers.

The price of each small diamond on this dress definitely doesn't exceed 800, but there are so many of them!

"It's okay, as long as you like it, I'll buy it."

Turns out this is what the girl was worried about, Hao Jian smiled to himself, then helplessly rubbed Zhao Yating's hair, saying, "This dress just happens to match those few pieces of jewelry you bought, and at the school's celebration, you're supposed to be the shining star on the stage. This dress is very suitable."

Saying this, Hao Jian no longer cared what Zhao Yating thought. As long as she liked it, no matter how much it cost, even if it was ten times more, he would buy it for her.

With other lady friends during shopping trips, as long as they liked it, he'd always buy it.

"I'll take this dress!"
