…
Glancing at Chen Hao beside her, Ye Jia silently typed, “I didn’t let him buy me anything.”
Hu Xueyi: “Huh? Jiajia, do you have a fever today?”
Ye Jia: “No. I just feel like it wouldn’t be appropriate to spend his money before we’ve made our relationship official.”
Zhou Dan: “Ye Jia, why are you still pretending to be some innocent maiden in front of us?”
Lin Pinru: “Jiajia, don’t tell me he never intended to buy you anything in the first place. 👃”
“A lot of rich people are extremely stingy nowadays.”
“Isn’t there a famous saying that’s really popular online? How does it go again? Oh, right. A man’s money is for women to look at, not for women to spend.”
Ye Jia: “How could that be? When we were at Louis Vuitton just now, he even offered to buy me two bags as gifts. I insisted on turning him down. 😄”
Hu Xueyi: “I get it now. Jiajia doesn’t want that handsome tycoon to think she’s a materialistic girl. She’s playing the long game to land the big catch.”
“By the way, Jiajia, does your handsome tycoon usually like watching livestreams?”
Ye Jia: “Xueyi, I’m not sure about that.”
Ye Jia: “All right, girls, I’m done chatting. He wants to buy a Vacheron Constantin watch, so I’m going with him.”
…
Before long, the two arrived at Vacheron Constantin.
The boutique was spacious and magnificently decorated. Spotlights illuminated the display cases, making the watches inside gleam brilliantly.
Apart from several female sales associates dressed in matching uniforms, there were only a handful of customers scattered around the store looking at watches.
“Qianqian.”
The moment Ye Jia entered, she waved at a female sales associate with an incredible figure.
“Jiajia?”
The sales associate was visibly surprised to see Ye Jia. “What brings you here?”
“My friend wants to buy a watch, so I recommended your store.”
Hearing this, the curvaceous sales associate walked over to Ye Jia and turned her attention toward Chen Hao.
After carefully looking him over, a trace of uncertainty appeared on her face. “Jiajia, don’t tell me this handsome guy is the owner of that Ferrari F80 you were riding in earlier?”
She had happened to see Ye Jia’s latest WeChat Moments post while scrolling through her feed.
In fact, she had just been discussing it with her coworkers moments ago.
She hadn’t expected Ye Jia to suddenly show up at the boutique, much less say that she had brought a friend here to buy a watch.
The man Ye Jia had brought with her was dressed entirely in Hermès.
One glance was enough to tell that he was rich.
Naturally, she couldn’t help suspecting that the man before her was the tycoon who owned the Ferrari F80 from Ye Jia’s WeChat Moments post.
“That’s right, Qianqian. It’s him.”
As Ye Jia spoke, she hugged Chen Hao’s arm even tighter, almost as though she were declaring ownership.
“Wow, it really is him!”
The curvaceous sales associate immediately became excited and hurriedly extended her hand toward Chen Hao. “Hello, handsome. I’m Jiajia’s good friend, Wu Qianqian.”
Chen Hao shook hands with Wu Qianqian.
Although this woman had an incredible figure, her face was somewhat ordinary.
The System told him that she couldn’t become someone he could use to farm Emotional Points.
Chen Hao secretly thought it was a pity.
“Jiajia, thanks for bringing your tycoon boyfriend here to support your girl’s business.”
Hearing her friend’s words, Ye Jia instinctively wanted to explain that she and Chen Hao weren’t a couple yet.
However, the words reached her lips only to be silently swallowed back down.
Ye Jia secretly glanced at Chen Hao.
When she saw that Chen Hao hadn’t corrected her friend’s misunderstanding, her heartbeat instantly quickened.
Chen Hao wasn’t saying anything…
Could that mean he was tacitly acknowledging that they were a couple?
[Ding! Host has obtained 100 Emotional Points from Ye Jia. Current Emotional Points: 2,200!]
“Qianqian, we were classmates throughout middle school and high school. We’ve known each other for so many years, so there’s no need to be so polite.”
Meanwhile, the other female sales associates who weren’t busy were secretly sizing up Chen Hao.
From the conversation between Ye Jia and Wu Qianqian, they had already figured out who Chen Hao was.
He drove a Ferrari worth more than 30 million yuan.
This man was definitely a tycoon.
As if being rich weren’t enough, he was also incredibly handsome.
My God.
Why couldn’t they ever meet a top-tier man like this?
The intense, burning gazes of the female sales associates secretly filled Chen Hao with satisfaction.
A man really did need money.
In the past, he had never experienced several beautiful women staring straight at him with such hungry eyes.
The sales associates’ eyes practically glowed green as they stared at him.
They resembled hungry she-wolves in the darkness, as though they couldn’t wait to devour him whole.
How terrifying.
“Mr. Chen, is there a particular Vacheron Constantin watch you’re interested in? I can take it out for you to try on.”
Most people who came to Vacheron Constantin to buy a watch had already browsed online beforehand and knew exactly what they wanted.
Of course, there were also some people who came merely to look without buying anything, just to satisfy their curiosity.
“Take me over to the Overseas collection first.”
Practically every tycoon novel Chen Hao had read on Tomato Novel featured the Vacheron Constantin Overseas collection.
Of course, the main reason was that the Overseas was the only Vacheron Constantin collection he actually knew.
He knew absolutely nothing about the other collections.
He couldn’t even name them…
It was just like wine. The only ones he knew were 1982 Château Lafite Rothschild and Romanée-Conti…
“Of course, Mr. Chen. Please follow me.”
Wu Qianqian led Chen Hao to a display case and said, “Mr. Chen, the entire Overseas collection is displayed here. If there’s one you like, just tell me and I’ll take it out for you to try on.”
“That gold one.”
Although there were quite a few watches in the Overseas collection, only one had made Chen Hao want to buy it the instant he saw it.
“Mr. Chen, you have excellent taste. The model you’ve chosen is the 5500V, crafted entirely from 18K rose gold with a complicated dial. It also comes with three original straps.”
As Wu Qianqian introduced the watch, she unlocked the display case and took out the one Chen Hao had pointed at.
Then she thoughtfully helped him put it on his left wrist.
“Not bad. It looks pretty good. I’ll take this one.”
Hearing Chen Hao’s words, Wu Qianqian froze for a moment. Then her face lit up with delight. “Mr. Chen, you’re faster than any customer I’ve ever served.”
“Miss Wu, why does that sound wrong no matter how I hear it?”
The fastest customer she’d ever served?
That didn’t exactly sound like a compliment.
“Oh, Mr. Chen, I’m sorry! I meant that you decided to buy your watch faster than any customer I’ve ever served.”
Wu Qianqian’s face turned red.
What she had just said really was easy to misunderstand.
“Qianqian, you need to think before you speak from now on.”
Ye Jia rolled her eyes at her old classmate in exasperation.
If she hadn’t known that this old classmate’s mouth always moved faster than her brain, she might have suspected that Wu Qianqian was trying to steal her man.
“I’ll look around at some others.”
After saying this, Chen Hao began strolling through the boutique.
When he noticed that Wu Qianqian was constantly following him, he stopped and said, “Miss Wu, you don’t need to follow me. I’ll just browse around on my own.”
He still wasn’t quite accustomed to having a salesperson constantly following him while he looked at things.
“All right, Mr. Chen. Just call me anytime if you need anything.”
After saying that, Wu Qianqian took Ye Jia by the hand. “Jiajia, let me show you our women’s watches. I’m telling you, we recently got two new pieces, and they’re absolutely gorgeous.”
“Chen Hao, I’m going to look at watches too.”
“Mm, go ahead.”
And so, Chen Hao continued browsing through the men’s watch section while Ye Jia followed Wu Qianqian to the women’s watch section.
