The Wealth Hitting You in the Face
Inside the store, Zhang Yang and Bei Wei stood in front of the counter, looking at the array of luxury watches. Hundreds of thousands were the norm, and watches costing millions were not uncommon.
"Zhang Yang, are you changing your watch again?" Bei Wei asked quietly from the side.
"Let me take a look first." Zhang Yang glanced at the watches in the display case, picked out a few, and then walked straight to the rest area to wait.
A short while later, the shop assistant brought the watch over.
"Put this in your Vacheron Constantin."
The sales assistants thoughtfully prepared a soft cushion to place Zhang Yang's Vacheron Constantin. After all, a watch worth 700,000 yuan might be overlooked by ordinary people who might not recognize its value, but these salespeople are in the business and have a keen eye for quality.
In the watch box next to him, several Royal Oak were lined up, and Zhang Yang tried them on one by one.
He didn't even look at the ones worth hundreds of thousands; he only picked those starting at millions. Everyone says Audemars Piguet has a long waiting list, so how come he didn't have to wait when it was his turn?
A moment later, Zhang Yang rotated his wrist, looking at the 1.8 million Audemars Piguet Royal Oak under the light.
18K rose gold with a 41mm case diameter.
Whether it was the price of 1.8 million that subtly enhanced its appeal, Zhang Yang felt that even the shimmering reflection on the dial seemed brighter than other watches.
"You have excellent taste! This one really suits your style perfectly," the saleswoman next to her quickly chimed in, knowing exactly what to say.
It can't be said that it was intentional flattery. After all, such a tall, handsome man wearing a watch worth 1.8 million yuan has an aura and temperament that is definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two.
If it weren't for the crowd, my legs would have gone weak.
"Bei Wei, what do you think?" Zhang Yang then looked at Bei Wei beside him.
After all, it's 1.8 million. He's not at the point where he doesn't care about 1.8 million. If it weren't for the double cashback, he wouldn't have bought this watch.
"It's beautiful, of course it's beautiful." Bei Wei held her breath.
How could it not look good? At a price of 1.8 million, if she were to say it wasn't good, she herself would feel she lacked taste.
But that's 1.8 million!
"Then..." Zhang Yang looked up and saw the shop assistant's expectant look. He couldn't help but laugh. Not wanting to keep them in suspense, he nodded and handed over the ticket.
Outside, Bei Jiajia had just finished looking at the new products at the Gucci store and was about to go into the Audemars Piguet store to find them.
"Bei Wei, the new Gucci items next door are pretty good! Do you want to go check them out? Zhang is so generous, he'll definitely spend the money... Oh? You guys bought watches?"
The clerk handed over the receipt with both hands, Bei Jiajia curiously craned her neck to take a look.
"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands... no, count again..."
As she counted, Bei Jiajia's expression froze, and her heart pounded wildly.
One million eight hundred thousand... not eighteen thousand, and certainly not one hundred and eighty thousand.
WHAT?
Bei Wei's boyfriend bought an Audemars Piguet here, worth 1.8 million?
She gently pressed her hand to her chest, saw the amount of 1.8 million on the flimsy receipt, and then looked at Zhang Yang wearing a wristwatch and looking calm. Her legs went weak.
Yes, her spending is high, but it's limited to the tens of thousands range. One million eight hundred thousand? Her dad's watch is only worth two or three hundred thousand!
Before, she thought Zhang Yang was very handsome and tall, but now, seeing how effortlessly he spent 1.8 million without even blinking, the aura he exuded in that instant...
This... this is wealth and charisma!
Wearing his Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, Zhang Yang felt a surge of joy as his balance, which had just decreased by 1.8 million, suddenly received a cashback of 3.6 million.
Is this the joy of consumption?
In the past, when he read novels about super-rich people spending tens of thousands of dollars without batting an eye, he couldn't empathize with it. He always wondered if it would make him numb to the thrill of it all.
Now that it's his turn in reality, he realizes that spending money like this... is actually quite worthwhile!
"I still have less than 700,000 left, I'll spend it all." With that thought, Zhang Yang picked up his Vacheron Constantin that he had taken off from the table and left the store amidst the farewells of the Audemars Piguet staff.
Zhang Yang, accompanied by Bei Wei, continued their shopping trip.
Bei Jiajia followed closely by his side, and then... she watched as Zhang Yang spent 160,000 yuan to buy two suits at Zegna, and then immediately bought an 80,000 yuan men's handbag at Hermes.
In the Bulgari store, she also saw Zhang Yang pointing at this and that as if he were buying cabbages.
I'd like to own a DIVAS' DREAM necklace that costs over 50,000.
I'd like a watch that costs over 100,000.
Bei Jiajia just followed along, oblivious to the overwhelming wealth and extravagant spending.
What strength! What financial resources!
Despite the fact that Bei Tianfu is her father, at this moment, she has to admit that her father isn't even worthy of carrying the shoes of the man in front of her.
"And these earrings look pretty good too," Zhang Yang muttered, reaching out his finger to pick one up. The shop assistant stood there expectantly, all her excitement ready, waiting for this wealthy and handsome man to speak.
"No, I really don't want it anymore." Bei Wei grabbed Zhang Yang's arm and tried to run away.
Bei Jiajia watched intently from the side, her heart burning with passion.
Dear sister, please don't see me off!
"This is the last one, just the very last one." Zhang Yang sighed helplessly.
Is there anything that can't be given away?
After much persuasion, Bei Wei had no choice but to accept the Bulgari.
For the entire afternoon, Bei Jiajia followed along, and finally truly understood what it meant to spend money like water; spending tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan was no different from spending a few yuan.
Her own spending was a joke compared to Zhang Yang's.
Sometimes, when she lagged behind, she would look at the handsome figure in front of her, even from behind, and suddenly feel incredibly envious of Bei Wei. She finally understood why Bei Wei was so devoted to Zhang Yang.
The "tall, rich, and handsome" type seems to be quite common these days.
But we should still talk about it and laugh about it.
How many truly "tall, rich, and handsome" men are there?
And now, look, the guy in front is a true high-achieving, rich, and handsome man, the kind with 100% gold content.
"Wait!" Suddenly, she remembered something very important.
She was so caught up in the hazy, overwhelming sensations of the afternoon that she was taking these two back with her tonight; they had agreed to have dinner together.
Shouldn't we tell her dad in advance that simply going out to the right and finding a restaurant to entertain her tonight is already very inappropriate, and we need to upgrade the event?
Thinking about all this, she couldn't contain herself any longer. Seeing Bei Wei running off to buy milk tea, she quickly took a moment to make a phone call.
"Dad, have you made reservations for the restaurant tonight?" she asked in a low voice.
"Ah... you mean tonight? I was just about to call you. Dad might be home late tonight, he has some social engagements. Could you ask him to come over for me and give him a heads-up?" Bei Tianfu seemed to have just remembered this.
"No, Dad, that won't do." Bei Jiajia quickly explained the whole story.
Spending 2.5 million in one afternoon without even blinking is something no one can remain calm about.
That's two and a half million!
They spent over two million without batting an eye! Can you imagine that kind of financial power when you combine these two things?
Even through the phone, Bei Jiajia could hear her father's rapid breathing on the other end.
"Old Bei, where should we eat tonight?" someone asked faintly over the phone, standing next to Bei Tianfu.
"What are you eating for! I have VIPs to entertain tonight!" Bei Tianfu said impatiently.
We've reached the top of the list! I'll be updating at midnight tonight to celebrate. Please stay tuned for more updates these next couple of days...
