At the start, I had to choose one of four options, and I immediately picked the Brahmin from the cou

Lin Miaomiao suddenly paused, and the name Zheng Hao had mentioned last night flashed through her mind—Li Xiao.

"But what?" Chen Xiaoxue immediately perked up her ears.

"It's nothing."

Lin Miaomiao shook her head, a playful smile playing on her lips.

"I just suddenly remembered that Hao Hao said that there are different levels in their circle. But that has nothing to do with us. Tonight's gathering is the highest ceiling you can reach in your lives, so make the most of it."

After a lavish lunch, Lin Miaomiao swiped her card for over ten thousand yuan without batting an eye. Looking at the long, flowing bill, Wang Yali and Zhou Xin completely lost any will to resist, only feeling deep submission and awe.

At 3 PM, the main event officially began.

The second floor of Deji Plaza is a section featuring upscale and designer brands.

Lin Miaomiao led them into Maje, a French designer brand store with an extremely elegant and sexy style.

"Welcome!" The sales assistant greeted us warmly.

"Help them pick out a couple of outfits suitable for a high-end nightclub booth."

Lin Miaomiao pointed to Tang Tingting and Chen Xiaoxue.

"She wants a pure and alluring style, preferably white, in lace or silk, that shows off her figure but isn't vulgar. She also wants something bright and sophisticated, like bright red or black with a deep V-neck."

The sales assistant immediately understood and produced more than a dozen sets of clothes that met the requirements in less than five minutes.

Tang Tingting and Chen Xiaoxue excitedly rushed into the fitting room. When they came out after changing, even Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Tang Tingting wore a pure white silk slip dress with a thin, chunky knit cardigan over it, revealing glimpses of her rounded shoulder.

The hem of her skirt barely reached her upper thighs, and her pair of fair legs were dazzling as she walked. That blend of innocence and extreme allure was sure to completely captivate Zhou Yu, the muscular man who had just broken up with his girlfriend.

Chen Xiaoxue changed into a bright red fitted halter-neck short dress.

The highly saturated red color made her skin appear snow-white, and the deep V-neck design boldly revealed her cleavage. Paired with her long, straight legs, she looked like a thorny red rose, exuding a wildness and flamboyance that even the richest men couldn't resist.

"Absolutely amazing! Miaomiao, your taste is divine!"

Chen Xiaoxue twirled in front of the full-length mirror, looking at her refreshed and sophisticated self in the mirror, her voice trembling with excitement.

"Just these two outfits, take them and pack up their old clothes." Lin Miaomiao took out her platinum card and swiped it with remarkable efficiency. The two outfits cost 12,000 yuan in total, which was a drop in the bucket within her budget of 50,000 yuan.

Afterwards, Lin Miaomiao took Qingqing to another store and picked out a well-tailored black fitted long dress, which cost several thousand yuan.

Throughout the entire process, Wang Yali and Zhou Xin acted like two handbag carriers, carrying Lin Miaomiao and the others' old clothes and small items they bought while shopping, following closely behind them.

Seeing Tang Tingting and the others put on battle robes worth thousands or tens of thousands of yuan, their eyes burned with jealousy, but they didn't dare to utter a single complaint.

They thought Lin Miaomiao would completely ignore them and make them embarrass themselves at SPACE tonight wearing their usual shabby clothes that cost only a few hundred yuan.

However, just as they were passing through the international beauty section on the first floor, Lin Miaomiao suddenly stopped and walked into the Tom Ford counter.

"Give me two of each of these popular lipstick shades, and wrap them up," Lin Miaomiao said to the saleswoman, pointing to the lipsticks on the counter.

After paying the bill, Lin Miaomiao turned around and casually handed two exquisite black TF handbags to Wang Yali and Zhou Xin.

"Take it." Lin Miaomiao looked at the two stunned expressions and a cold, condescending smile curled at the corner of her mouth.

"This...this is for us?"

Wang Yali was flattered and even stammered. Although a TF lipstick only cost a few hundred yuan, which couldn't compare to Tang Tingting and the others' dresses that cost thousands or tens of thousands of yuan, it was like a godsend for them, who had been completely marginalized and were even prepared to be invisible for a night.

"What, you don't want it because it's too cheap?" Lin Miaomiao pretended to take it back.

"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, Miaomiao! Thank you, Miaomiao!"

Zhou Xin snatched the bag and hugged it tightly to her chest. Her humble, bowing and scraping manner was even more unsightly than that of a beggar on the street.

Looking at her two former "arch-enemies" who were completely won over and grateful for a few hundred yuan worth of lipsticks, Lin Miaomiao felt a strange, morbid pleasure welling up inside her.

That's the power of money.

The reason Lin Miaomiao bought clothes worth tens of thousands of yuan for Tang Tingting and the others was because they were going to go hunting at the dinner table that night, which was a way for her to show off her strength.

The lipsticks costing a few hundred yuan given to Wang Yali and Zhou Xin were merely a few grains of dog food casually tossed out by someone in a position of power. This served to demonstrate her magnanimity while simultaneously ensuring that these two dogs, who had once bitten her, would completely and utterly submit to her.

"I've bought lipstick too. We'll go to the pub tonight, so feel free to wear it. But you'll have to figure out what to wear yourselves." Lin Miaomiao clapped her hands, like a queen surveying her territory.

"Also, don't forget what I said at the hair salon at noon. Your task tonight is to keep your eyes peeled. If Xu Manman really dares to bring people to cause trouble, you know what to do."

"Miaomiao, you can rest assured! If Xu Manman dares to take even half a step closer to your booth tonight, I, Wang Yali, will be the first to tear her face to shreds!"

Since Xu Manman has already discovered them, she has no choice but to go down a dark path.

At 5:30 p.m., my shopping spree at Deji Plaza came to a successful end.

Lin Miaomiao didn't take them directly back to school, but instead waved her hand dismissively:

"Why go back to school? That shabby six-person dorm doesn't even have a decent full-length mirror. Let's go to a nearby five-star hotel, get a room by the hour, do our makeup and perfume, and then take a taxi directly from the hotel to SPACE tonight."

Six transformed girls, carrying shopping bags of various sizes and luxury goods, booked a high-end suite and began two hours of pre-battle preparations.

The suite's enormous bathroom and vanity mirror were filled with a variety of expensive cosmetics. The air was thick with the rich aromas of Chanel Chance, Jo Malone Bluebell, and Tom Ford Oud.

"Tingting, your eyeliner is too harsh. Erase it and redo it! Zhou Yu likes a pure and innocent look, so just draw an inner eyeliner. Use earth tones for eyeshadow, don't use any glitter!" Lin Miaomiao sat on the sofa, touching up her impeccable bright red lip gloss while inspecting everyone like a strict drill instructor.

"Xiaoxue, make your lipstick a little darker! You need to project that 'I'm the most beautiful woman in the world' vibe. Rich kids who got their homes demolished love to take women like that who can command respect; it makes them look incredibly prestigious."
