For a moment, everyone wore different expressions, but most were of surprise, bewilderment, and a touch of incredulity.
If it weren’t for Chen Mei’s self-introduction, just looking at this well-mannered young woman before them, they might have thought she was the young mistress of some wealthy family...
Who knew she was actually the housekeeper for Zhou Dajun, who was rumored to be the son of a billionaire?
Housekeeper...
This term was far too distant from most people’s reality, something that felt more like a profession you only heard about on TV.
Isn’t that just serving others?
How much salary must it take to get a woman like her to be a "housekeeper"?
Jiang Qingkui and Li Xiaolei were a bit stunned as well, but by then, Chen Mei already started prompting the young men behind her to unload. As the truck reversed, and the driver opened the back compartment, a few young men began moving things into the yard, and Jiang Jiaxing hurried forward.
"This... Miss Chen, what are all these things?"
"Oh, these are all purchased by Mr. Zhou, as he and Miss Jiang are both out of town and couldn’t come back in person. Mr. Zhou asked me to convey his apologies to you both for not being able to give Miss Jiang a break during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Please do accept these little gifts... Hey, be careful, place them over there!"
Chen Mei explained with a smile, noticing one of the young men was being a bit heavy-handed, she quickly frowned and went over to remind him gently.
She knew how much this truckload of items cost her boss... Rarely did she hear Zhou Wang use such a pained tone.
Little... little gifts?
Jiang Jiaxing and Li Xiaolei watched as the yard quickly filled with items, glancing at each other in disbelief. None of these gifts looked "small," did they?
At this point, the two sisters who had initially joined out of curiosity couldn’t contain their gossip and curiosity any longer, deciding to step into the yard to see what was inside this truckload.
"Sister Li, what brand of skincare is this, I’ve never seen it before?"
One of the sisters casually picked up a light green cylindrical gift box, opened it, and saw several bottles of skincare products with a purple glass appearance inside. She couldn’t help but ask.
She couldn’t read the English letters, but for slightly expensive cosmetics, she knew a few, yet this didn’t resemble anything like La Mer.
This question also stumped Li Xiaolei. Being a middle-aged woman, her knowledge was slightly better than the sister asking the question. At least she knew SK-II Facial Treatment Essence, but this brand was also unknown to her...
At this moment, Chen Mei timely stepped forward with a smile, "Auntie Li, this is the luxury skincare brand La Prairie from Switzerland. The gift set Mr. Zhou sent you is the platinum edition seven-piece set."
"How much does it cost?"
Li Xiaolei couldn’t quite ask this question, but the sister beside her immediately and thoughtfully inquired for her.
The sister looked a bit nonchalant, seeing two such gift boxes on the table. If they were given in pairs, how expensive could they be... She wanted to see just how "luxurious" Chen Mei’s "luxury" truly was.
As a woman, Chen Mei knew what this neighbor sister was thinking, so she just smiled faintly.
"For Mr. Zhou, it’s not very expensive, just over sixty thousand per box, I believe..."
"How much?"
The stunned sister instinctively asked again, her hand suddenly trembled, luckily the equally shocked Li Xiaolei was quick to steady the gift box.
Li Xiaolei couldn’t help but cast a reproachful look at the sister... If it had dropped, would she find her to cover the cost or not?
A whole set of skincare products costing sixty to seventy thousand was something Li Xiaolei had never even heard of, let alone seen.
At the same time, Jiang Jiaxing, who was carefully unpacking a large parcel, was being watched by Old Wang.
Both being fishing enthusiasts, when Old Wang saw one row of slightly blurred logos, he couldn’t help but swear, "Is this... Daiwa rods?"
Old Wang quickly walked over, checked carefully, and when he confirmed he wasn’t mistaken, he was utterly stunned.
Because in that large package, there were seven rods of the same logo and different lengths, and not only that, but there were also many small boxes with the same logo, clearly containing lines, reels, and other components...
This was a complete family set of fishing gear!
Jiang Jiaxing was equally delighted, noticing Old Wang’s envious expression, he became vigilant, "Don’t even think about it, I’m telling you... You can only borrow them after I’ve used them for three months, no, at least half a year!"
"Old Jiang, are these rods very expensive?"
Seeing the two men crouched down like they were examining some treasure, Li Xiaolei, who had just hurriedly put the cosmetics inside the house, couldn’t resist walking over curiously to ask.
"Not just expensive, pulling out any of these rods wouldn’t be less than five-figures..."
Jiang Jiaxing stayed silent, but Old Wang couldn’t help exclaiming.
Li Xiaolei felt another shock in her heart. There were seven or eight rods on the ground. By that calculation, just this heap of fishing gear alone must be at least tens of thousands.
However, whether it was the skincare products or the big bundle of fishing rods and gear, they obviously couldn’t fill up this truck. As Chen Mei continued to introduce items from time to time, Jiang Jiaxing and his spouse, as well as their few neighbor onlookers, were left continuously dumbfounded.
