After Divorce, No Second Chance – Chapter 57

Education is just a piece of paper

After Josie and Layla checked the goods, the salesgirl cheerfully handed over a shopping bag containing two 100ml bottles of perfume and a dozen 10ml perfume samples.

“Thank you.”

Josie thanked her happily. As someone who often studied luxury goods, she knew that LV’s gifts were notoriously scarce.

And this salesgirl actually gave away two bottles of perfume; each bottle was priced at 2,500! The total value of these two bottles of perfume was already comparable to Ryan’s belt!

Of course, the reason she could give away such expensive gifts was that Jacob’s spending exceeded 100,000, and also because they wanted to retain a big client like him.

Josie would do the same when selling; if she felt someone was a big client with future spending potential, she would give more gifts to create goodwill.

“You’re welcome.”

“If you ladies need anything in the future, just let me know.”

“If it’s convenient, we can add each other on WhatsApp.”

The salesgirl responded politely. In her eyes, Layla and Josie were also potential clients. Even if they might not have spending power, their men should have that capability, like this low-key Mr. Jacob.

Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the task [The Rich Man’s Reward].

Rewards are being distributed. Just as Layla and Josie were exchanging WhatsApp contacts with the salesgirl, the system notification sounded in Jacob’s mind.

In the next second, his Industrial and Commercial Bank account showed a cash back of 565,000.

In his virtual system backpack, there was also an additional “Learning Card.”

Jacob immediately checked the attributes of this Learning Card: Using this card grants a 24-hour super learning ability of photographic memory! Photographic memory?

That sounds quite powerful!

As Jacob was in his middle age, his memory had already shown signs of decline, and his learning ability was nowhere near what it used to be. This Learning Card was undoubtedly a great learning aid; after using it, anything he saw within 24 hours would not be forgotten.

So, as long as he had enough Learning Cards, he could easily make up for his lack of knowledge and low cultural level.

In fact, most industries ultimately compete on cultural depth, and it should be emphasized that culture is not equivalent to education.

Education is just a piece of paper, a stepping stone.

A high degree only proves that you are ahead in the exam-oriented education race.

But cultural literacy reflects a person’s overall quality, including cultural knowledge, language ability, social skills, learning ability, artistic appreciation, moral and cultural cultivation, and so on. That’s why there’s a saying online: universities filter out the academically poor but cannot filter out the morally poor.

If used well, the Learning Card can enhance Jacob’s cultural literacy, which is very important for a wealthy man.

Those with low cultural literacy who suddenly become rich will ultimately remain as mere nouveau riche and won’t last long.

The salesgirl warmly escorted the three out of the LV store.

At this moment, the little brother Ryan was still outside the store, pretending to be on a phone call. When he saw the three come out, he responded with an “uh-huh” into the phone before ending the “call.”

“Layla, I’m really sorry. There was a dispute between a customer and a coach in the store, and as the personal training supervisor, I had to handle it.”

Ryan said apologetically, then his gaze fell on the LV shopping bags in Layla and Josie’s hands.

The shopping bags they held were not large, and it seemed they contained accessories or perfume.

“Layla, Josie, what did you buy?”

Using the excuse of being on the phone, Ryan had sneaked a look inside the store but couldn’t see clearly what was happening and didn’t know that Jacob had already bought two bracelets.

“It’s the bracelets we tried on!”

Josie replied smugly, then added, “Mr. Jacob gave them to us. He said it was to thank us for buying clothes for Macy!”

Upon hearing this, Ryan was instantly dumbfounded. He stared at Jacob, his eyes filled with shock.

Wait, aren’t you just a delivery guy? You bought two bracelets worth over 50,000 in one go?? What kind of international joke is this! “Mr. Jacob, Josie is just joking with me, right?”

Ryan couldn’t believe what Josie said and immediately asked.

“What do you think?” Jacob replied with a smile.

“I think she’s teasing me,” Ryan said.

Jacob chuckled but didn’t continue the conversation. Instead, he gently patted the little brother’s shoulder: “It’s getting late; I need to pick up my daughter from school. See you later.”

“Layla, Josie, do you want to continue shopping, or do you need me to give you a ride back?” Jacob then looked at Layla and Josie.

“We’re not shopping anymore; we’ll take your ride back!”

Josie immediately replied. She wanted to spend more time with her old baby, even if it was just for ten minutes.
