Tycoon: I can see the goddess's wish list novel Chapter 62

Chapter 62: 60. Million-dollar watch? You just bought that?

"Mr. Luo... Mr. Luo, here is the invoice. Please take it."

Little Lin handed over the receipt respectfully and said with a smile, "Our manager is on his way and will personally accompany Mr. Luo shortly."

Xia Wen and Lu Yaqing were once again bewildered. The manager of Patek Philippe holds quite a high position; after all, there are only two directly-operated stores in the country. If you’re just an average rich guy, they wouldn’t give you the time of day.

"Mr. Luo, hello, hello." The visiting manager, a young man under thirty, approached Luofeng as soon as he saw him and politely shook his hand. "It was my oversight; I truly didn’t expect you to be such a dedicated fan of Patek Philippe! Thank you for your support."

"Dedicated fan?" Luofeng was a bit surprised.

Seeing Luofeng’s confusion, the manager explained, "Mr. Luo, our backend system shows your previous purchases at the Shanghai store. It turns out the watch worth 3.2 million from the Shanghai directly-operated store was reserved by you. I even handled the transfer of goods myself. It’s truly fate that we meet again in Shanghai."

3.2 million? Lu Yaqing’s mind went blank. She had no idea how rich this man actually was. To buy a watch worth 3.2 million... Under normal circumstances, that meant his financial capability allowed him to buy at least five luxury cars of equivalent price. This was no exaggeration.

Seeing Xia Wen standing there in a daze, Luofeng approached him politely. "Mr. Xia, are you coming to the second floor? Is there something you’d like to buy? The manager is here too; perhaps he can show you around?"

Xia Wen was at a loss for words. "That... that..."

"Mr. Xia, your girlfriend is so beautiful; you have to be generous. If I had a girlfriend like that, I’d spoil her rotten." Luofeng pointed to a watch in the display case. "This one is quite nice."

He glanced at the price: a women’s watch worth over eight hundred thousand. The second floor truly was on another level.

"No need. I’ll take Yaqing to look around the first floor. Although that watch is expensive, Yaqing might not like it," Mr. Xia said, looking at Lu Yaqing.

Lu Yaqing quickly added, "Yes, the one downstairs is good."

Though she said so, anyone could tell her words contradicted her true feelings.

"Hahaha." Seeing this, Luofeng laughed teasingly. "Well, if that’s what the lady prefers, then there’s nothing to be done. However, I do think the watch on the second floor suits Miss Lu’s temperament very well."

Soon, the two of them went downstairs. Luofeng didn’t follow, instead staying on the second floor to chat with the manager for a while.

About fifteen minutes later, Luofeng decided to leave. As he passed the first floor, he noticed Lu Yaqing and Mr. Xia were still there.

"Yaqing, don’t be so insistent. Just consider it a meeting gift," Xia Wen was saying.

"Mr. Xia, it’s too valuable," Lu Yaqing replied.

Don’t give it to me! I beg you, don’t give it to me! I really don’t want to give my first time to a man like you, even though I desperately want you to invest in my web series.

Seeing this, Luofeng hesitated for a moment before stepping forward. "Mr. Xia, no offense, but you don’t understand women. When a woman says she doesn’t want that watch from the second floor, do you actually believe her?"

"I... I didn’t mean that," Lu Yaqing stammered, not daring to offend Xia Wen.

"Miss Lu, you don’t understand men either," Luofeng said, glancing at Xia Wen. "I can tell Mr. Xia is the type to be very generous with the woman he loves, right?"

Before Mr. Xia could respond, Luofeng continued, "Manager An, please go upstairs and bring down the watch we were looking at earlier."

"Yes, sir!"

"Hey... Mr. Luo!" Lu Yaqing was genuinely panicking. If Xia Wen actually impulsively buys me an eight-hundred-thousand-yuan watch, wouldn’t he practically drag me to bed until I end up in the hospital?

"What’s wrong, Miss Lu?" Luofeng looked at her with a knowing smile, giving her an expression that said, ’You get me.’

She was slightly taken aback by this and then fell silent.

Indeed, it would be strange if Xia Wen were willing to spend eight hundred thousand on a watch for her. Her brokerage company had arranged for her to accompany Xia Wen shopping today because they needed his investment for a web series. If she secured the investor, the lead role would be hers. Lu Yaqing knew how these things worked but had come hoping for a bit of luck. Now, she fully understood that people like him wouldn’t commit without seeing a clear benefit; getting them to invest without her giving something in return was impossible. So, internally, she had already decided to give up. Externally, however, she didn’t dare offend Mr. Xia. What Luofeng was doing now played right into her hands.

Soon, the manager went to arrange for the watch to be brought down.

At this moment, Xia Wen, despite his outward smile, felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

That shameless woman! Say something! Tell him you don’t want that eight-hundred-thousand-yuan watch! What do you think you are? Sure, you’re pretty, but you’re just a minor, unknown actress. You want an eight-hundred-thousand-yuan watch? Is your fame even worth that much? Even a second-tier starlet would be content for days with a watch worth a few hundred thousand. Who do you think you are with your few hundred thousand fans? Xia Wen was fuming internally.

Lu Yaqing, however, felt that since she had already refused, and Luofeng was the one insisting, it had nothing to do with her. If Xia Wen couldn’t afford it, she could walk away blameless.

"Yaqing, something urgent came up. I have to leave for a bit. I’ll send someone to take you back to the hotel later," Xia Wen said, feigning a glance at his phone. Then, pretending to take a call, he quickly left.

Trying to pick up girls but too cheap to spend money? she thought, her heart leaping with joy, though she also felt a little scornful.
