Chapter 52: Shopping Spree, Accidentally Trending on Social Media

Shen Mengxia wore a gloomy expression, her disdainful gaze sweeping across the salesclerk who kept bowing and apologizing, as well as the manager standing anxiously to the side making frantic phone calls. Without a word, she walked straight over to the store’s lounge area and sat down.

Before long, the store owner hurried over. Upon seeing Shen Mengxia, the owner approached with a flattering, obsequious smile.

However, Shen Mengxia gave the other party no room to speak, directly offering a purchase price twenty percent higher than the market rate.

Faced with such a tempting offer, the owner hesitated for only a moment before gladly agreeing.

Just like that, Shen Mengxia smoothly brought the store under her ownership.

Immediately afterwards, she had someone promptly install a telephone card into her new phone, then took out the relevant agreement from the file bag she was carrying to carefully locate her roommate's phone number.

The call connected. Shen Mengxia curved the corners of her lips slightly and said in a calm tone, "Hello, I am Shen Mengxia..."

She had barely uttered this single sentence—before she could even say anything more—when an explosion of ecstatic, joyful shrieks erupted from the receiver: "Xiaxia! My dear little ancestor! My goddess of wealth! You old dear, you've finally shown yourself! Where are you right now? We're coming over to find you right this instant!"

Shen Mengxia replied unhurriedly, "XXXXX mobile phone store, the one I just bought. I'll wait for you here." With that, she hung up the phone decisively.

Afterwards, she began strolling leisurely around her new mobile phone store.

Suddenly, her gaze was caught by a mirror, and when her line of sight focused on her own reflection, she couldn't help but freeze.

Indeed, the figure in the mirror carried a rather rustic air, looking precisely like a little country girl.

Yet, this comical appearance made her couldn't help but chuckle secretly.

Then, she turned around lightly and walked towards the cash register with graceful steps.

Standing right there was none other than the cashier from earlier.

Seeing her approach, the cashier hurriedly stood up, her face plastered with a respectful smile, and asked deferentially, "Boss, is there anything you need? Please feel free to give your orders."

She raised the corners of her lips into a faint smile and said softly, "I'd like to ask if there are any shops nearby that sell clothes that are both stylish and pretty, and especially suitable for someone like me to wear?"

As she spoke, she gently toyed with a lock of hair cascading over her shoulders, her every gesture exuding a unique charm.

The cashier finally relaxed and personally introduced several boutiques to Shen Mengxia, enthusiastically offering to guide her there. Shen Mengxia disliked shopping with unfamiliar people. "No need, I'll go take a look by myself."

Shortly after, several customers walked into the phone store, chatting idly as they browsed.

"That woman possessed an extraordinary aura; I knew her identity was far from ordinary. That salesclerk just now spoke so harshly—she's probably in for a world of trouble."

The more the cashier listened, the stranger it sounded, so she edged closer to eavesdrop. She only heard those people saying further, "Having money is truly willful; she just called herself the boss and bought the store on the spot."

At that exact moment, three luxury cars suddenly pulled up outside the entrance—a Maserati, a Porsche, and a Mercedes-Benz, every single one of them a limited edition model. Three young women stepped out of the cars, all dressed in designer brands, and walked inside demanding to see the boss.

Remembering the phone call Shen Mengxia had made earlier, the cashier hurriedly stepped forward to greet them. "Are you ladies friends of the boss? She went next door to buy clothes. I'll go fetch her back right now."

"No need, the three of us will go find her ourselves." The three turned around and walked out, heading to the adjacent street where the crowd was densest. Sure enough, they spotted Shen Mengxia busy buying handbags.

"Xiaxia!" The three of them called out excitedly upon seeing her.

"Wait for me a moment, I'll be right over as soon as I finish buying this." Shen Mengxia responded to the three while saying something to the shop assistant.

As the three waited idly on the side, playing on their phones, one of them suddenly let out a startled shriek, "Oh my god, Xiaxia, you're trending on hot searches! What on earth have you done? Look at this headline: 'Mysterious wealthy woman goes shopping, acquires shops on a whim, buys out everything in sight as owners across the entire commercial street tremble in fear.'"
