"I'm with..." Su Wan hesitated for a moment. After all, it seemed a bit too early to call Jiang Cheng her boss.
"A friend who's here to look at watches."
Lin Ru glanced up and down at Jiang Cheng.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng was both young and unfamiliar, she wasn't impressed; in their circle, there were plenty of Handsome Guys.
A handsome face wasn't the most important thing; the only thing that could attract them was the scent of money.
Jiang Cheng looked at the somewhat familiar face in front of him and opened the favorability value scanning system.
[Name: Lin Ru]
[Age: 27]
[Height: 165 cm]
[Beauty: 90]
[Figure: 88]
[Privacy: 78]
[favorability value: 20 (Stranger status)]
Jiang Cheng finally remembered who she was: a second-tier actress.
However, after checking her privacy value, Jiang Cheng instantly lost interest.
On the other hand, the Middle-aged Man beside Lin Ru immediately had a glint in his eyes after sizing up Su Wan.
Although Su Wan and Lin Ru were similar in beauty and temperament, Su Wan definitely had the upper hand when it came to their 'pandas' (chest size).
The Middle-aged Man looked at Su Wan with interest and asked Lin Ru, "Ru'er, who is this?"
"Brother Wang, her? She played a little maidservant by my side in a costume drama I filmed before. Her name seems to be... something Wan," Lin Ru introduced Su Wan with a haughty attitude and a face full of disdain.
In her eyes, Su Wan was not in the same league as her.
When she took on a role, she could at least be the second female lead, and the investor boss would even bring her to buy watches.
But if it were Su Wan, if she wanted to film a drama, she would not only get small, insignificant roles, but she'd also have to take turns accompanying people for fun and sleep if she wanted to act.
Wang Hai took a business card out of his pants pocket and handed it to Su Wan: "Hello, I'm Wang Hai. I specialize in film investment. If you need a role in the future, you can look for me."
Su Wan smiled indifferently, seeing Lin Ru's haughty appearance.
Over the years, she had experienced too many setbacks and hardships, and as a result, her mental resilience had become exceptionally strong.
In their circle, reality was just that cruel: when you are unknown, people don't even remember your name.
And when you suddenly become famous, you'll find many mysterious "good friends" suddenly popping up.
These good friends will not only ride on your popularity in various situations, but some thick-skinned ones will even actively @ you on Social Media Platforms.
After politely accepting the business card, Su Wan said calmly, "Thank you. Then I won't disturb you."
Seeing that they had finished chatting, Xiao Chen immediately asked, "Mr. Jiang, do you have any specific goals today?"
Jiang Cheng shook his head: "No, I'll buy what looks right. Both women's and men's watches are fine. Which ones are in stock?"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen pointed to the watch Lin Ru and her companion were looking at: "The 7122 Series that those two guests are looking at is in stock in rose gold and white gold. There are also a few other models in stock. As for popular models like the Celestial Series, they aren't available and require a reservation and a wait."
"I don't know much about this. How much is the one they are looking at?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"The price for the 7122 Series women's watch is 380,000. If you buy it now, the transaction can basically be made at the public price."
Seeing this kind of price, Jiang Cheng instantly had no desire to even look at it.
He should buy something better for his mother; a 300,000-yuan watch really wasn't considered very good within Patek Philippe.
He shook his head: "Check if there are any women's watches starting at a million. Don't bring out the cheap ones."
Seeing Jiang Cheng ask for items starting at a million as soon as he opened his mouth, Xiao Chen immediately nodded and responded repeatedly: "Yes, Mr. Jiang. Please wait a moment, I'll bring them over for you."
"Bring a few more, and some men's watches too."
"Okay, right away." Xiao Chen bowed respectfully to Jiang Cheng and then quickly left the VIP area.
On the other hand, the atmosphere on Lin Ru's side became extremely awkward.
Lin Ru glared at the two of them with disgust, feeling very displeased in her heart.
She thought the 380,000-yuan watch she had chosen was luxurious enough, but she didn't expect it to be dismissed as cheap by Jiang Cheng.
One should know that to buy this watch, she had wheedled Wang Hai for a long time before he agreed to accompany her to buy it.
And Wang Hai's face also darkened immediately upon hearing Jiang Cheng's words.
Although 380,000 didn't sound like much, for ordinary people, this amount could buy a decent small car.
Seeing Jiang Cheng help her retort against Lin Ru, the corners of Su Wan's mouth couldn't help but turn up, and she secretly rejoiced.
Usually, Lin Ru always had her nose in the air, and just now she had even snidely implied Su Wan was just her little maidservant like a 'Green Tea' (fake/manipulative person).
It was rare to see her mocked like this; Su Wan couldn't have been happier.
She coughed lightly, gave Jiang Cheng a grateful look, and then casually picked up a magazine on the table, pretending to read it.
Jiang Cheng saw that Su Wan was currently staring blankly at a simple lady's watch in the magazine without moving.
It was a watch where a brown crocodile leather strap and a rose gold case complemented each other, looking very exquisite and elegant.
The listed price was 217,000. This price was clearly for an entry-level Patek Philippe women's watch.
"You like this?"
Seeing Jiang Cheng suddenly ask her, Su Wan waved her hand: "Just looking around. I can't afford it anyway."
"Ding! Random mission issued: Give a women's watch to Su Wan."
"Mission Reward: To be calculated based on the final result."
"Failure Penalty: None."
Jiang Cheng looked at the system prompt with some surprise. Although he didn't know what the reward was, following the instructions certainly wouldn't be wrong.
"If you like it, I'll give it to you," Jiang Cheng said generously.
"No need, I'll buy it myself after I earn money," Su Wan declined.
Lin Ru, who was nearby, couldn't help but roll her eyes upon hearing this.
For a third or fourth-tier starlet like Su Wan, even if she filmed a dozen insignificant roles a year, she probably wouldn't earn 380,000.
One should know that the salaries between different actors varied greatly. The salaries of first-tier actors and 'traffic' actors could be as high as over ten million, but for a second female lead like her, a salary of a million was already considered very high. For someone like Su Wan with little screen time, it would be at most a hundred thousand or tens of thousands, and that money still had to be split with the company.
Moreover, for famous watches like Patek Philippe, many people look, but very few actually buy. If Jiang Cheng only looked and didn't buy later, Lin Ru would let them see what the true art of being a 'Green Tea' was.
Soon, Xiao Chen brought a watch storage tray and placed it in front of Jiang Cheng and Su Wan.
"Mr. Jiang, the prices of these watches are all over 500,000. Like this 5160/500-001, this men's watch is a Grand Complication functional chronograph. What's most special is its reversible hand-engraved hinged dust cover. When you flip this cover, you can see the operation of this watch's super complex movement."
"And this 5178..."
Xiao Chen carefully introduced the six watches in front of Jiang Cheng, and after finishing, he introduced the prices of several models.
After speaking, Xiao Chen quietly watched Jiang Cheng from the side to see if he had any reaction.
However, after listening to the introduction, Jiang Cheng was as calm as water. The expression on his face didn't change at all, and he didn't even blink, as if what had just been mentioned was fifty yuan.
After hearing the introduction, Jiang Cheng pointed to the 5160/500-001 and the 5270-R.
The price of the 5160/500-001 was 1.27 million, while the 5270-R gold dial platinum model was 1.3855 million yuan.
After buying the Richard Mille, Jiang Cheng felt nothing towards watches worth over a million.
However, the brand awareness of Richard Mille was not as high as Patek Philippe.
Except for Second-generation rich like Wang Zheng and Qin Fen, ordinary people had no idea the watch on his hand was worth over ten million.
"Let me try these two."
After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Xiao Chen immediately took out the watches to help Jiang Cheng try them on.
Jiang Cheng didn't refuse. After all, why stand when you can sit, why sit when you can lie down, and why do it yourself when someone else can do it for you?
