Forcing Me to Be a Godly Tycoon, Right?

But this time, he didn’t feel any pride; instead, there was a deep-seated sense of pity, because he could see that the girl before him was bearing too much.

So he smiled and said, ”But you don’t need to worry, I think once you go home this time and many problems get resolved, you’ll eventually be able to relax.”

”Alright, let’s go shopping first.”

With that, he got out of the car on his own.

Jiang Lai hesitated slightly but no longer dwelled on it, then followed him out of the car.

The three of them arrived at the third floor of Friendship Department Store.

This floor was the digital electronics section.

Zhang Jingdong led Jiang Lai around for a bit and eventually arrived at the Sony store.

Zhang Jingdong pointed out a DV to Jiang Lai: ”What do you think of this color? Do you like it?”

Jiang Lai was initially taken aback, then suddenly realized that Zhang Jingdong might be planning to buy the DV for her.

Instinctively, she glanced at the price.

It was actually 4550!

She hesitated and said, ”This… the color is okay, but the price is a bit too expensive!”

Zhang Jingdong casually replied, ”This price isn’t too high; the key is that the shooting effect is very good. Let’s go with this one.”

With that, he turned to the nearby male sales assistant and said, ”Buddy, get me one of these DVs.”

The male sales assistant, initially envious and filled with jealousy upon seeing Zhang Jingdong walk in with Jiang Lai and Long Yue, two stunning beauties, suddenly had a genuine smile on his face when he saw Zhang Jingdong immediately go for the most expensive DV in the store: ”Sure, just a moment!”

While the assistant went to get the item, Zhang Jingdong led Jiang Lai over to the camera section.

He quickly glanced around, and finally pointed at a silver Sony TI, saying to Jiang Lai: ”How do you feel about this color?”

Jiang Lai pressed her lips together but couldn’t help peeking at the price tag.

4788!

She was confused: ”Didn’t you already buy a DV? Why are you buying a camera too?”

Zhang Jingdong straightforwardly replied, ”You can’t just shoot videos; you’ll need to take some photos too, and this camera can also shoot video, so you can switch between them.”

Jiang Lai shook her head: ”No need, I...”

”Trust me, you’ll definitely use it!”

At that moment, the sales assistant returned with the packaged DV.

Zhang Jingdong immediately said, ”Please get me one of these cameras too!”

The sales assistant was briefly stunned, then his smile became even more sincere: ”Alright, alright... Please wait!”

Not long after the assistant brought the camera over, Zhang Jingdong led Jiang Lai to the nearby cashier to pay.

After the discount, it totaled over 8300.

Zhang Jingdong felt indifferent; 8000 was nothing to him, even 80 million wouldn’t faze him, as he was now truly a billionaire.

However, Jiang Lai was feeling a bit complicated.

On one hand, she was a bit pleased; although she and Zhang Jingdong had reached a cooperation, she was admittedly still somewhat worried.

After all, she hadn’t earned any money from Zhang Jingdong’s company yet, and wasn’t sure if she could become the online celebrity with many fans he spoke of.

But now Zhang Jingdong spent nearly 10,000 on her, which at least proved he was genuinely helping her, and the job he offered seemed real.

So she felt a bit more at ease.

On the other hand, her sense of pressure had increased.

Previously, Zhang Jingdong hadn’t invested anything in her, merely sharing bright future fantasies, which left her largely stress-free.

But now, Zhang Jingdong had started investing real money in her. If she didn’t accomplish something noteworthy in the future, she wouldn’t be able to justify the equipment he bought her.

Zhang Jingdong noticed this but pretended not to, handed the receipt to the sales assistant, then directly handed the bags to Jiang Lai and walked out of the Sony store.

Jiang Lai pressed her lips together and followed him out.

Zhang Jingdong walked about thirty meters and then turned back, leading Jiang Lai into the Nokia store.

In the new product section, Zhang Jingdong pointed out the latest Nokia 7610 to Jiang Lai: ”How about this color? Do you like it?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lai realized he was going to buy her something again, this time she didn’t even look at the price tag, and said directly: ”I have a phone, you don’t need to buy me one.”

Zhang Jingdong expected her to say this and replied directly, ”Can your phone record audio?”

Jiang Lai’s eyes dimmed slightly, shaking her head: ”No, but...”

”No buts. Firstly, everything I buy for you isn’t a gift, but to facilitate your work.”

”Secondly, these devices are equivalent to weapons you need on the battlefield; the stronger their functions and better their quality, the more smoothly you’ll be able to use them.”

”If you try to save me money and settle for less now, you’ll face many unnecessary difficulties, and most importantly, it might delay the quality of your videos, affecting your follower growth rate.”

By now, seeing Jiang Lai was still hesitant, Zhang Jingdong played his trump card: ”Jiang Lai, we’re doing real work here, not playing house.”

”And to achieve great accomplishments, immense investment is needed. Otherwise, anyone could do it, why would it come to us?”

”I know your family conditions aren’t great, so you’re very sensitive to spending, but I need to tell you that you shouldn’t let money trap your thinking. Once that happens, you’ll never escape a poverty mindset and find great success!”

Jiang Lai was finally enlightened by Zhang Jingdong.

And she sensed that Zhang Jingdong seemed a bit angry, so she obediently nodded: ”…Alright, I’ll... I’ll do whatever you say.”
