Chapter 5 Shopping

Upon arrival, a casual search led to a roadside parking spot. Flanking the street were lavish boutique stores, along with a cluster of boutiques. Su Wei, indifferent to selection, began his stroll from the store nearest to the parking spot.

The first store he passed was GUCCI, where the saleswoman's demeanor felt rather lukewarm, failing to captivate Su Wei. The garments' cuts were commendable, fitting well for slender individuals like Su Wei. He acquired two pairs of floral-patterned sneakers, purchased three animal-themed sweatshirts, and added two jackets to his haul, totaling 95,000 yuan. Had the saleswoman been more enthusiastic from the outset, Su Wei might have made further acquisitions. After all, shopping for clothes entails multiple purchases from various stores.

Observing Su Wei's single expenditure of 95,000 yuan, the saleswoman's heart blossomed with joy. She promptly enrolled Su Wei as a VIP member, promising immediate notifications for upcoming collections.

Carrying his bags, Su Wei proceeded to the next store, Prada. Upon seeing Su Wei with multiple GUCCI bags, the Prada saleswoman recognized a high-spending customer. "Greetings, welcome to Prada," she warmly greeted him. "May I show you some clothing?" The lady appeared charming, towering in her high heels, surpassing Su Wei's height.

"Are you shopping for a partner or for yourself?" she inquired.

"Single and free," Su Wei casually responded.

"Very well, allow me to store your items at our front desk for your convenience," Liu Yun took Su Wei's bags and placed them at the designated area before leading him to the men's clothing section.

Here, Su Wei was surprised by the prices of bathrobes, originally assuming them to be affordable. However, upon inspection, they exceeded ten thousand yuan, reaffirming the notion that luxury items do not cater to the budget-conscious.

Prada boasted an extensive collection of sweaters and decent suits, albeit fewer casual wear options. Su Wei picked five bathrobes, three high-neck sweaters, two hooded sweatshirts, two sets of high-end formal suits, and purchased two pairs of leather shoes, amounting to a total of 370,000 yuan. Liu Yun was elated, unaware that Su Wei was just an ordinary worker, capable of attracting high-spending clientele.

With his purchases accumulating, Su Wei and Liu Yun filled the car's compartments, stuffing the front trunk, passenger seat, and two rear seats of the Porsche 911 to capacity. Despite the plethora of items, most of the space was occupied by boxes.

After bidding farewell to Liu Yun, Su Wei intended to continue shopping. The current haul was insufficient for a week's wear, necessitating further exploration.

Passing by Maison Margiela, Su Wei ventured inside to purchase 30 assorted styles of men's underwear, spending 40,000 yuan. Dismissing other clothing items, he deemed them unworthy of adorning his physique.

Feeling a pang of hunger, Su Wei decided to explore one more store before dining, finding himself drawn to a nearby watch shop, Richard Mille. Familiar with the brand's popularity from social media in his previous life, Su Wei, now affluent, was curious to experience its purported financial prowess.

"Welcome, sir, to Richard Mille," the shop wasn't crowded but neither was it empty. Most patrons were merely browsing.

"Do you have any knowledge about Richard Mille?" asked Wang Fengjiao, skeptical of the young man's intention to make a purchase despite carrying bags from Maison Margiela. Nevertheless, professional etiquette dictated that she not make any presumptions.

"I've seen their watches online, but this is my first time seeing them in person," Su Wei responded candidly.

"There's often a disparity between images and reality. Do you have any specific watch in mind?" Wang Fengjiao inquired.

"I'm open to options; if I like it, I'll buy it," Su Wei replied bluntly.

"Alright, please follow me," Wang Fengjiao conceded, sensing that the young man was there merely to broaden his horizons.

"This model is one of our best sellers," she presented the RM030 from the counter.

"That watch is rather unsightly. Let me see the one below it," Su Wei's newfound wealth had emboldened him, making his speech forthright.

"This particular model, the RM35-02, arrived just this morning, and a colleague's client has already reserved it," Wang Fengjiao explained.

"A reservation means no payment yet. Even if your colleague sells it, you won't get a commission. I've set my sights on this watch; will you sell it to me?" Su Wei's directness bordered on arrogance, but Wang Fengjiao had to entertain the possibility, albeit concerned whether he could afford the 1.29 million yuan timepiece.

"Well then, are you certain? This watch is priced at 1.29 million yuan, but with an additional 200,000 yuan, it can be yours," she informed him cautiously, hoping he wouldn't back down due to the steep price.

"Card," Su Wei nonchalantly responded, underestimating the cost, presuming it to be over ten million yuan. As he swiped his card, he noticed an advertisement for another watch on the television display.

"That watch looks appealing. Do you have it in stock?" he inquired.

"That's the RM50-03. Unfortunately, it's not available in our store. However, if it becomes available, would you like us to notify you?" Wang Fengjiao already knew Su Wei's phone number as she handed him the warranty card, realizing his financial capacity was deeper than it appeared.

"Your selection here is quite limited. Most of the watches are models; if you ever get top-tier watches, notify me. Anything below 500,000 yuan is not worth recommending to me," Su Wei instructed.

"Understood. Rest assured, I'll inform you as soon as we have top-tier watches available," she assured him, noting his telephone number as 15555555555, a clear indicator of his affluence.

Su Wei left the store wearing the watch he had just purchased, along with a watch winder gifted by Wang Fengjiao after completing the paperwork.

Richard Mille was located not far from LV, the largest LV store in the country.

"Hello, welcome to LV," Wu Qin greeted Su Wei at the entrance, noticing him exiting Richard Mille with the brand's watch. Though uncertain of the model, she recognized a high-spending customer.

"I'm shopping for winter clothes for myself," Su Wei replied.

"Very well, you can leave your items at our front desk. Would you like some water? You seem to have been browsing for quite some time," Wu Qin graciously accepted Su Wei's bags, leading him to the front desk.

"Sure, get me a bottle," Su Wei felt appreciative of the professionalism exhibited by the LV saleswoman, fostering a sense of hospitality.

Handing Su Wei a bottle of Evian, Wu Qin then guided him to the men's clothing section. With Wu Qin's assistance, Su Wei tried on various clothes, trousers, and shoes, experiencing a remarkable difference compared to previous stores. He had previously been unaware of the distinction between luxury items and regular clothing, dismissing them as an "IQ tax." However, after personally trying them on, he realized the significant disparities, particularly in material quality
