…
Afterward, the two of them arrived on the fourth floor of Plaza 66.
This was the clothing section, home to numerous luxury fashion brands from around the world.
Their first stop was Hermès.
The female sales associate inside had an excellent attitude and a professional eye for fashion.
After Chen Hao changed into a light business-style outfit recommended by the sales associate, he looked at himself in the mirror and was stunned by how handsome he looked.
Sure enough, clothes really did make the man.
“Mr. Chen, this outfit looks like it was tailor-made for you,” the sales associate praised without reservation.
“What do you think?”
Chen Hao turned toward Ye Jia.
“Very handsome!”
Ye Jia’s eyes practically sparkled.
She had to admit that Chen Hao looked incredibly handsome after changing into Hermès. His entire aura seemed to rise several levels at once.
Of course, Chen Hao had always been handsome to begin with.
She had thought before that if Chen Hao simply put some effort into dressing himself up, he wouldn’t look any worse than those male celebrities.
Now it seemed she had been absolutely right.
“I’ll take this outfit. Also, could you put together a few more outfits for me?”
Hearing Chen Hao’s words, undisguised delight appeared on the sales associate’s face. “Of course, Mr. Chen.”
The outfit she had just selected for this handsome man was anything but cheap.
Altogether, it cost nearly 100,000 yuan.
At first, she had been slightly worried that he might find it too expensive. After all, the clothes he had been wearing when he entered were extremely ordinary, and he didn’t look particularly wealthy.
Unexpectedly, not only did this handsome customer want the entire outfit she had selected, but he also wanted her to put together several more.
This was fantastic.
For someone working in sales, the more she sold, the higher her commission would be.
So, relying on her professional sense of style, the sales associate enthusiastically began selecting more outfits for Chen Hao.
Ye Jia wasn’t idle either.
Hermès didn’t only sell men’s clothing.
They also sold women’s clothing.
Naturally, she eagerly began trying on clothes herself.
“Chen Hao, do I look pretty in this dress?”
After changing into a snow-white off-the-shoulder dress, Ye Jia stepped out of the fitting room and immediately walked over to Chen Hao.
Holding the hem of her dress, she gracefully twirled around in front of him like a princess.
“Pretty good.”
Chen Hao looked her over and gave an objective evaluation.
“Miss, would you like me to pack this dress for you?” This story is hosted at g.com.
Hearing the sales associate’s question, Ye Jia secretly glanced toward Chen Hao.
When she saw that he showed absolutely no reaction, she pursed her lips and said to the sales associate beside her, “Forget it. I don’t think this dress really suits me.”
…
Twenty minutes later, Chen Hao paid 500,000 yuan by card and walked out of Hermès with Ye Jia.
Since he had purchased so many clothes, Hermès provided complimentary home delivery.
That made it much more convenient for Chen Hao to continue his shopping spree.
When Ye Jia had first entered Hermès, her face had been filled with a genuinely happy smile.
Now, as she walked out, there was still a smile on her face.
However, it was obviously nowhere near as cheerful as before.
There was now a hint of forced restraint behind it.
Chen Hao had just spent 500,000 yuan on himself at Hermès.
Yet he hadn’t spent a single yuan on her…
Wasn’t Chen Hao being way too stingy?
You’ve already taken advantage of me so much, yet you aren’t even willing to buy me a single piece of clothing.
What exactly does Chen Hao think I am?
Could it be that he really doesn’t have any interest in me?
No, no way.
If Chen Hao had no interest in her, he wouldn’t have let her sit in the passenger seat of his Ferrari F80.
[Ding! Host has obtained 200 Emotional Points from Ye Jia. Current Emotional Points: 1,700!]
[He only cares about buying Hermès for himself and won’t even buy me a single thing. What exactly is Chen Hao trying to do?]
Seeing the updated Emotion Entry above Ye Jia’s head, Chen Hao suddenly felt as though everything was under his control.
If he had acted like the protagonists in those tycoon novels on Tomato Novel and gone on a wild spending spree for Ye Jia, there was no doubt he could have farmed Emotional Points that way too.
However, he didn’t want to follow the crowd.
If he wanted to farm Emotional Points, he didn’t necessarily have to spend money on the beautiful women around him.
Just look at what had happened now.
He hadn’t spent a single yuan on Ye Jia, yet hadn’t he still gained Emotional Points from her?
Now that he had finally become rich, of course he wanted to prioritize spending his money on himself.
Through Ye Jia, Chen Hao was gradually beginning to understand some of the tricks behind farming Emotional Points.
Directly spending money to farm Emotional Points was the most basic method.
Messing with someone’s state of mind was the advanced method.
As long as he pushed the right emotional buttons, there would never be a shortage of Emotional Points.
“What’s wrong, Ye Jia? You seem a little unhappy.”
Hearing him, Ye Jia smiled. “I’m not unhappy.”
“That’s good.” This story is hosted at g.com.
As they walked, Chen Hao smiled and said, “I thought you might be unhappy because I didn’t buy you anything from Hermès just now.”
Although Chen Hao had hit the nail on the head, Ye Jia still replied, “How could I be? Chen Hao, you’re not my husband. You have no obligation to spend money on me.”
“So why would I be unhappy just because you didn’t buy me anything from Hermès?”
Hearing this, Chen Hao stopped and looked seriously at Ye Jia. Then he patted her shoulder and said earnestly, “Ye Jia, you have really good values. You’re such a good girl.”
The corner of Ye Jia’s mouth twitched. “Of course.”
Why did she suddenly feel as though she had picked up a rock only to drop it on her own foot?
[Ding! Host has obtained 100 Emotional Points from Ye Jia. Current Emotional Points: 1,800!]
Chen Hao secretly laughed.
Ye Jia had always been openly materialistic.
One of the things she said most often was, “In this lifetime, I absolutely have to find myself a rich man, even if I have to become his mistress.”
Yet now she was actually putting on an act in front of him.
Women really were complicated creatures.
Since she wanted to keep acting, Chen Hao might as well play along and pretend he didn’t notice.
That would make it even easier for him to farm Emotional Points.
Afterward, the two of them visited Louis Vuitton and Prada.
Chen Hao spent a total of 2 million yuan between the two stores.
The reason he spent so much was that he had just ordered several sets of custom-made haute couture at Prada.
By this point, he had already spent 2.5 million yuan.
He was still 4.15 million yuan away from his target of 6.65 million yuan.
He needed to keep working at it.
To be fair, going on a crazy shopping spree like this felt incredibly satisfying.
[I’m so pissed off! I’ve been shopping with him for so long, yet that bastard Chen Hao hasn’t bought me a single thing. Even those saleswomen just now were looking at me strangely.]
[Ding! Host has obtained 300 Emotional Points from Ye Jia. Current Emotional Points: 2,100!]
After walking out of the Prada boutique and seeing the updated Emotion Entry above Ye Jia’s head, Chen Hao nearly burst out laughing.
Ye Jia was obviously a gold digger.
Yet she insisted on putting on an act in front of him.
Wasn’t she just making things difficult for herself?
He wanted to see how much longer Ye Jia could keep hiding her true colors from him.
“I’ve pretty much finished buying clothes. Now let’s go buy a watch. Ye Jia, didn’t you say you have a friend working at Vacheron Constantin? Come on, let’s go find your friend there.”
“Okay.”
Ye Jia forced a smile as she answered.
Suddenly, her phone chimed with a WeChat notification.
As she walked, she took out her phone and discovered that several of her close friends were tagging her again in the Close Friends’ Group Chat.
Hu Xueyi: “@Ye Jia, Jiajia, you’ve been shopping with that handsome tycoon for so long. What has he bought you?”
Zhou Dan: “@Ye Jia, I’m pretty curious about that too.”
