The next day, Su Zhiyi and Gu Yu went to the Greta jewelry offline store.
Greta is a well-known high-end luxury brand. The offline store they had arranged to meet at was on the most luxurious wealthy commercial street in the vicinity.
Precisely because the shops on this street were mostly famous big brands, with luxury stores as far as the eye could see, there were very few people on the street. Only wealthy people dressed in designer clothes and carrying designer bags strolled around.
Su Zhiyi never imagined that one day she would also be like all those rich people, riding in a luxury Maserati to a commercial street where the minimum spend was no less than five figures, filled entirely with luxury goods.
Gu Yu closed the car door and said to Su Zhiyi, "They haven't arrived yet. We can browse a bit. If there's anything you like, just take it."
He added, "My treat."
Truly a wealthy, domineering CEO—his words were bold and unconstrained.
Su Zhiyi had read many romance novels with domineering CEO male leads and had seen plenty of tropes.
For example, the classic scene where the CEO and the female lead go shopping, and the CEO directly buys the entire street for her.
She joked, "Then what if I want this whole street? Would President Gu be willing to foot the bill?"
Gu Yu opened his mouth, a look of shock appearing on his face.
He quickly restrained his astonishment and said seriously, "That's not impossible."
"Do you really want me to buy the entire street?" he asked Su Zhiyi, but his tone didn't sound like he was joking. "If you want, I'll go talk to their person in charge tomorrow."
"And... you said you wouldn't call me President Gu."
What a financially extravagant statement.
How could he talk about buying an entire luxury street in such a calm tone?
And the last part carried a faint hint of a resentful husband—implying that she had agreed to call him Brother Gu but was now using the distant title of President Gu.
Su Zhiyi was afraid that the real domineering CEO in front of her would actually buy the entire street, so she quickly stopped him: "Hey hey, I was just joking! If you really bought the whole street, my house wouldn't be able to fit everything."
"But since Brother Gu said he'll treat me, then I won't hold back."
A faint smile appeared on her face, and a cute little dimple formed at the corner of her lips.
"If I see something I like, I'll definitely have the store assistant pack it up and make you pay."
She meant it this time.
Why not take advantage? In her previous world, she at least had her own luxury items, but in this world, they were all provided by the company and had to be returned after use.
She had to be extremely careful, afraid of scratching or damaging them. If a luxury item was truly ruined, she'd have to compensate the company, and she couldn't afford that.
During her worst period of black PR, those haters were like human microscopes, constantly scrutinizing the luxury items in her photos, trying to find evidence that they were fakes or second-hand.
Some even dug up that she had worn the same outfit from last month this month, using that as proof that she was pretending to be a wealthy heiress from the capital circle.
That was the downside of being a celebrity—every move, even what she wore, was scrutinized, greatly increasing the risk of exposing her poverty.
Gu Yu was genuinely rich and didn't care about money.
Spending money to make his beloved idol happy, even just to see her smile at him, was a worthwhile deal for him.
He saw Su Zhiyi's faint smile, his gaze momentarily infatuated, and he spoke his true thoughts.
"If I can make you happy, even if it's just a smile from you, I'm willing to pay any price."
"So... make yourself at home."
Su Zhiyi didn't hold back with Gu Yu.
She picked out luxury goods worth millions in one go and had the store assistants pack them all for delivery to her home.
Gu Yu didn't even blink at the expense. He used his black card to pay for everything Su Zhiyi chose and even asked her, "Is this enough? Don't you want to buy a bit more?"
Su Zhiyi lived it up for an hour, thoroughly experiencing what it felt like to be wealthy. She shopped on the commercial street and then it was time to return to her real identity and go back to work like a beast of burden.
Su Zhiyi and Gu Yu walked to the Greta jewelry store, where the person in charge was already waiting for them.
The person in charge, standing at the store entrance, saw Su Zhiyi, who wore a mask and a cap, and Gu Yu, who had no disguise at all, and greeted them with a wide smile.
"President Gu, Miss Su."
Gu Yu nodded at the person in charge.
After entering the store, Su Zhiyi took off her mask and cap and politely greeted the person in charge. "Hello."
Su Zhiyi was dressed head to toe in luxury clothing; every strand of her hair exuded the lavish scent of money. She looked less like a female star and more like a young lady from a wealthy family, spoiled by money and affection.
The person in charge smiled even more happily when he saw Su Zhiyi in person.
Although Su Zhiyi was a connection brought in by Gu Yu, he was very satisfied with her as the face of Greta.
"My surname is Wu. Miss Su can call me whatever you like."
"The first time I saw Miss Su's photo, I felt she was perfect for Greta's jewelry. Now that I've met Miss Su in person, I find she suits Greta even better than I imagined!"
Su Zhiyi was really popular now.
In the past, he had only heard of Su Zhiyi's name, knowing she was a vase actress with only looks, and that she was a young lady from some family in the capital circle.
But who would have thought that this vase young lady actually had some background? Not only could she stir up a CP with the popular male singer Jiang Yuanheng, but it was said that Actor Pei Yan had broken his usual pattern to act in a romantic scene just to pursue her, and she even got the CEO of Xinghui Entertainment, the number one company in the entertainment industry, Gu Yu, to provide her with high-end endorsement resources.
In less than a month, all her previous scandals had been cleared up.
