Chapter 30 – Breathless with Rage
Lin Ru asked her sales associate, somewhat unwilling to give up, "If we buy this watch, do we get any gifts?"
She had just glanced at the ladies' silk scarf printed with the Patek Philippe logo and really liked it.
The sales rep attending Lin Ru answered awkwardly, "Miss Lin, I'm afraid not."
After being refused, Lin Ru's expression turned even uglier.
Wang Hai, standing nearby, also looked gloomy.
He had bought Patek Philippe several times, but they never gave him freebies either.
Watches from Patek Philippe are extremely expensive—the cheapest ones start at over a hundred thousand yuan—so dropping several hundred thousand at once is nothing special in the eyes of these sales staff, and the brand simply doesn't hand out gifts.
The reason Xiao Chen had just loaded Jiang Cheng with so many freebies was that Jiang Cheng had spent more than four million in one go.
Wang Hai had originally planned to show off with Lin Ru today and then enjoy a multi-day romp.
Jiang Cheng's move instantly made him feel he'd lost face.
He kept a sullen face and said to Lin Ru, "Forget it, let's come back next time."
Without even looking at her, he strode straight out of the VIP lounge.
Leaving Lin Ru sitting there alone in embarrassment.
Seeing this, the sales rep asked anxiously, "Then... Miss Lin, do you still want this watch?"
Watching Wang Hai leave without the least bit of grace, Lin Ru was furious.
Of course she wanted it—though it couldn't match the watch on Su Wan's wrist, it was still worth 380,000 yuan. Just let it slip away?
Fuming, she unfastened the watch, her face flushed, and snorted, "Next time, then."
Before leaving, Lin Ru shot her a deliberate glare.
Su Wan didn't mind in the least; in fact, she felt rather pleased.
As soon as Su Wan agreed to accept the watch, Jiang Cheng heard the system's notification.
"Ding! Mission complete. As Su Wan's favorability value toward the Host keeps rising, the mission rating is very high."
"Congratulations, Host, you have received a targeted spending rebate: your Patek Philippe purchase will be randomly rebated at 1–3×. Claim reward now?"
Jiang Cheng nodded in satisfaction at the system.
After all, it was free money.
Giving away a watch for cash back—why not? Even hitting the 1× rebate would be fine.
He silently ordered, "Draw it now!"
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have won a 3× rebate, totaling 13.1655 million yuan. Transfer to your bank card now?"
Hitting a rebate of over ten million in one shot—Jiang Cheng marveled that it really was the dream come true system.
"Transfer immediately!"
The next moment, a text message arrived: after subtracting the four million he had just spent...
he had gained another 13-plus million.
Leaving Patek Philippe's flagship salon, Jiang Cheng told his driver to head for Hang Lung Plaza.
In Shanghai, besides Hang Lung, there's the newly expanded IFC Mall.
Both are luxury shopping centers.
But Hang Lung sits on Nanjing Road, so it's usually livelier.
Its tenant mix is strictly curated, aiming for high-end luxury and cutting-edge fashion.
Many international premium flagships, boutiques, and concept stores are located here.
As an established high-end department store, Hang Lung Plaza is decorated in ultimate opulence.
Each floor has soaring ceiling heights.
Nearly every shop is a top-tier international luxury flagship.
Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Chanel, Dior, Celine, Escada, Bulgari, Fendi, Loewe, Prada, Versace, Lanvin, and other leading global brands are all here.
