“Miss, you have a really good eye, this is the latest model from the Exploration series.”
“There are two colors, the two of you could get a bestie set…”
The saleswoman was very enthusiastic, as both Sun Xinyi and Zhao Yingying had very good overall temperament, especially Sun Xinyi, who was carrying a brand-new Prada handbag, clearly capable of affording such expenses.
“Why don’t you both try them on?”
As she spoke, the saleswoman took out two bracelets of the same style from the display case, one traditional gold and the other rose gold.

Zhao Yingying preferred traditional gold and immediately tried it on. Although she couldn’t afford it, as a saleswoman herself, she knew not to appear intimidated at that moment. She had to be confident; after all, trying it on didn’t cost anything.
Meanwhile, Sun Xinyi hesitated because after all, it was over fifty thousand, not a small sum.
But she also knew she couldn’t show weakness at this moment or it would be embarrassing. So she picked up the rose gold bracelet. Indeed, she preferred this color over the gold; it wasn’t as ostentatious and felt more textured.
“Xinyi, how does it look?”
Zhao Yingying shook her wrist with the bracelet on it, her face all smiles.
“It’s pretty.”
Sun Xinyi nodded her head. Price aside, the bracelet was indeed quite nice, although it borrowed some design elements from Cartier, it did not hinder its attractiveness.
But the problem was, price couldn’t be ignored!
It was over fifty thousand!
Sun Xinyi’s average monthly salary was about ten thousand. In other words, she would have to save for half a year without spending on anything else to afford this bracelet.
“Xinyi, what are you looking at?”
At this moment, Qin Feng came over with a smile on his face, holding an LV shopping bag. He had just bought a belt, spending over five thousand.

“Qin, what did you buy?”
Zhao Yingying saw the shopping bag in Qin Feng’s hand and asked somewhat surprised, as she hadn’t expected him to make a purchase so quickly after entering the store.
“A belt, just over five thousand. I think it’s pretty good value for the money.”
Qin Feng replied with a grin and then glanced at Yang Hao, who was standing to the side, hoping to see a shocked expression on the face of this delivery guy, considering the belt’s price was nearly equal to his monthly earnings.
But to his disappointment, Yang Hao appeared completely unfazed, as if he hadn’t heard what Qin Feng had said at all.
Feeling let down, he couldn’t help but complain inwardly, “Old man, you’re not being cool. You were so slick with the banter during dinner, almost on par with Mr. Yu, now how come you’ve gone mute!”
Noticing the eager gaze of this younger man, Yang Hao could guess what he was thinking and promptly played along, “Five thousand for a belt, that’s too expensive!”
Yang Hao quite liked this little fellow who only had a level three knack for pretense. He might show off, but he hadn’t come to put anyone down, so Yang Hao decided he would humor him one more time.
After all, he might inadvertently hurt his feelings later.
Qin Feng didn’t expect the delivery guy to get on board so quickly and immediately showed a brilliant smile. His gaze returned to Sun Xinyi, wanting to see her reaction, but she wasn’t paying attention to him at all; her focus was on her own wrist.
The rose gold bracelet was delicate and exquisite, a perfect match for her slender, snow-white wrist.
“Xinyi, that bracelet really suits you!”
Qin Feng exclaimed, then turned to the saleswoman and asked, “Miss, how much is this bracelet?”
“Sir, this is the latest model from the Exploration series, and it’s currently priced at fifty-six thousand yuan.”
The saleswoman replied with a smile.
However, the smile on Qin Feng’s face disappeared.
“`
A bracelet for fifty-six thousand!
He felt he really shouldn’t have bothered asking.
“Qin, you’re not thinking of giving Xinyi this bracelet, are you?”
At this moment, Zhao Yingying spoke with a smile.
She and Qin Feng were about the same age, both at the stage where they liked to show off, and Qin Feng had been subtly pretending ever since the meal started.
Zhao Yingying, a gold digger who studied men all day, had seen through his little act long ago, but simply couldn’t be bothered to call him out on it.
And now, Qin Feng had bought a belt for over five thousand and was pretending again, dragging his old man along to play the foil to his act. Zhao Yingying just couldn’t stand it anymore, which is why she nailed him with a precise retort.
Inwardly, she was scoffing: What class do you think you are, pretending in front of my old man!
Some drive cars worth over a million and are super low-key the entire time. Look at you, aside from pretending, all you do is lay the groundwork for more pretending, yet you don’t even have the capital for it.
That’s why I say, the real big shots are always low-key, just like my Yang!
“Uh…”
“Of course, if Xinyi likes it.”
Qin Feng was taken aback at first, but then answered with a stiff upper lip.
“This bracelet really suits the lady!”
The sales associate quickly chimed in. She’d seen plenty of such scenes. For the sake of face, there were many men willing to splurge, and she certainly wouldn’t consider the wallets of suck-ups.
It’s your choice to be a suck-up, you deserve to boost my performance.
After saying her piece, the sales associate looked expectantly at Qin Feng. However, this suck-up clearly lacked the funds. After making eye contact with her, he immediately looked away and took out his mobile phone: “Sorry, I have to take a call.”
With those words, Qin Feng walked away with his phone towards another area.
The sales associate couldn’t help but roll her eyes, silently lamenting what a pity. This breed of suck-up wasn’t pure, as some would even buy their goddess favored gifts on credit card installments.
Zhao Yingying, on the other hand, smiled and shook her head, not expecting the sales associate to scare him off with just one comment.
Sun Xinyi then took off the bracelet and put it back in the box. Even if Qin Feng really were to give it, she wouldn’t accept it; the gift was too expensive.
“Miss, this bracelet really suits you…”
The sales associate didn’t want to miss the sale and continued to persuade her.
“We’ll keep looking.”
Zhao Yingying also took off her bracelet.
A bracelet for fifty-six thousand, she couldn’t afford it.
“Actually, the ring from the same collection also suits the two of you…”
The sales associate pointed to the relatively cheaper rings and deftly put the two bracelets back into their boxes.
Just then, a large hand suddenly landed on the counter, and the sales associate looked up in confusion. Then, the man who had been inconspicuous the whole time told her, “I’ll take these two bracelets, go write up the bill.”
“Ah??”
The sales associate was momentarily taken aback, then ecstatically said, “Alright, I’ll go right away!”
Having worked in this store for three years, she had seen her fair share of rich customers – those who’d spend hundreds of thousands without saying a word. So when Yang Hao suddenly spoke up, she was only a little surprised, before quickly realizing she had encountered a wealthy buyer.
“Yang, what are you doing??”
Sun Xinyi was completely bewildered upon hearing Yang Hao and the sales associate’s conversation—two bracelets at fifty-six thousand each, and he wanted to buy both in one fell swoop.
Zhao Yingying’s thought, however, was: If he’s buying two, could one be for me??
