Buying Gifts

"Yes, wrap them all up for me, and then calculate how much it costs." Qin Fei nodded, without the slightest hint of a joke on her face.

The shop assistant was completely stunned. It took her quite a while to react, and she hurriedly said, "O-okay, I'll have someone wrap them up for you right away."

"Wait," Cheng Weiyang called out, calling back the assistant who was about to turn and leave.

"Miss, is there a problem?" The assistant's attitude was respectful, but she felt a bit anxious inside. Were they not going to buy them after all?

"Pack up some of the jewelry from that counter as well, half gold and half jade, a hundred pieces in total." Cheng Weiyang's words once again left the assistant in a daze.

She even wondered for a moment if she was still asleep in her bed at home. Otherwise, how could something so absurd happen?

"I, I... maybe I should buy a gift for Teacher Du too. Although I don't have much money, it's the thought that counts."

Chen Yutong was also frightened by the sheer extravagance of Cheng Weiyang and Qin Fei. It took her a long time to recover, and she wondered if she should also prepare a gift for Qin Ning to take back.

"It's fine, Sister Chen, just pick whatever you like. And it's not like you don't have money. Didn't we agree at the company earlier? You now hold twenty percent of the company's shares," Qin Fei said with a smile.

Twenty percent?

Hearing this, Chen Yutong was shocked once again.

She originally thought they just wanted her to take over Tian Jinglong's position. She never expected them to give her so many shares!

Although the branch company's market value was merely a drop in the bucket compared to the head office, its total value was still around five billion. Twenty percent...

Wouldn't that be one billion?

At the thought of this, Chen Yutong almost passed out from shock.

"But..."

Her voice trembled slightly.

"No buts. Xiao Fei gave you the shares, so just take them. Plus, you could say this is a gift from Qin Ning. If you want to thank someone, thank him," Cheng Weiyang said with a smile.

"This... alright."

After taking a deep breath, Chen Yutong finally managed to suppress the astonishment and excitement in her heart. With an expression of immense gratitude, she looked at Qin Ning, Qin Fei, and Cheng Weiyang. "I definitely won't let you down."

Meanwhile, not far outside the jewelry store, several young figures happened to be walking by.

"Young Master Wu, is... is that Young Master Qin and his group?" The person speaking was none other than Peng Hao, the son of Peng Kang, the richest man in Qiong Province.

He had previously offended Qin Ning at the hotel, which nearly brought a catastrophic disaster upon the Peng family.

"I think so!"

Wu Lei looked surprised and recognized Qin Ning at a glance.

He had made a special trip from Dong Province this time just to celebrate Peng Hao's birthday. He didn't expect to run into Qin Ning twice in Qiong Province.

Without overthinking it, he immediately led Peng Hao toward the jewelry store.

At this moment, the store manager had also been alerted and came out to personally attend to Qin Ning's group. Not far away, the saleswoman from earlier was rapidly typing on a calculator to tally up the bill.

"Young Master Peng!"

When he saw people walking into the store, the manager subconsciously glanced over.

He recognized Peng Hao at a glance.

The entire shopping mall, including this jewelry store, was the property of the Peng family.

Moreover, this manager had seen Peng Hao from a distance a few times before, which was why he could recognize him.

He hurriedly went up to greet him with a fawning expression, smiling and reaching out his hand. "Young Master Peng, what brings you here..."

However, Peng Hao paid him no mind. Instead, he followed Wu Lei all the way to stand in front of Qin Ning.

The two wealthy young masters respectfully bowed to Qin Ning and greeted him, "Young Master Qin."

"Oh, it's you guys."

Qin Ning slightly raised his eyes. "I didn't expect such a coincidence."

"It is quite a coincidence."

Peng Hao bowed with an accompanying smile and continued asking, "Young Master Qin, are you buying jewelry here? This mall is my family's property. Just take whatever you like, it's all free of charge."

Qin Ning glanced at him, then shook his head and said, "I still need to pay. These are gifts I'm buying for people, so naturally, I have to pay out of my own pocket to show my sincerity. However..."

"We also bought a car and some other things earlier. If you want to give us something, you can waive the bill for those."

"No problem!"

A look of joy instantly appeared on Peng Hao's face.

Obviously, opportunities to curry favor with Qin Ning were rare. Let alone gifting a car or something similar, even if they were to give the entire shopping mall to him, they absolutely wouldn't even furrow a brow!

Wu Lei, who was standing to the side, gritted his teeth in frustration.

He was clearly the one who had met Qin Ning first, yet now he was letting this guy Peng Hao show off his hospitality.

He hated it. Why wasn't this Dong Province?

Otherwise, he would have definitely just given this mall to Qin Ning directly!

Not far away, the store manager's face was now filled with a sluggish, dumbfounded look.

He hadn't expected that the person he was just serving was such an incredible big shot.

The Peng family was the richest in the province, and Peng Hao, as the eldest young master, was now being so respectful to such a young man. It was hard to imagine just how massive this Young Master Qin's background must be.

"Sir, Miss, the price has been calculated. There are three hundred pieces of jewelry in total, half gold and half jade. The total price is twelve million and thirty thousand," the female assistant said with utmost respect.

"Swipe my card."

Qin Fei took out a bank card and handed it over. "How much longer until they are all packed?"

"Five minutes."

The assistant's hands were trembling slightly as she took the bank card.

"Has this price been discounted?"

Peng Hao asked from the side.

"It has, Young Master Peng, a twenty percent discount." The female assistant replied respectfully. She had just learned of Peng Hao's identity from the manager and knew he was the young owner.

At the same time, she felt even more extraordinarily astonished in her heart.

Just what kind of terrifying backgrounds did these people she was serving today have?

To think that even the young owner was so respectful in front of them.

"Twenty percent off... isn't that a bit too little? How about..."

Peng Hao glanced at Qin Ning. These items were bought as gifts. The other party didn't want them for free, but he still had to provide a proper discount.

"No need, twenty percent off is fine." Qin Ning waved his hand.

Soon, after paying the bill, Qin Ning spoke again. "I'll be heading back to Liu City shortly. Xiao Fei and the others will still be here for the next two days. Also, if you have time, take her to buy an apartment. The location should ideally be near the company."

He pointed at Chen Yutong.

"Understood, Young Master Qin. Leave it to me, I guarantee you'll be satisfied," Peng Hao said, patting his chest.

Soon, the three hundred pieces of jewelry were packed. Peng Hao, Wu Lei, and the other young masters waiting outside the store hurriedly pitched in to help carry them down to the underground parking garage.

"Young Master Qin, there's quite a lot of stuff. The car might not be able to fit it all. How about I arrange for a vehicle to come and send it directly to the airport to be airlifted back for you?"

Peng Hao said with a smile, looking at the large and small boxes placed next to the car.

"No need."

Qin Ning waved his hand dismissively. Then, with a grand sweep of his arm, under the dumbfounded gazes of Chen Yutong, Peng Hao, and the others, the three hundred pieces of jewelry vanished into thin air right before their very eyes.
