NOVEL WEB Chapter 15: Let’s Meet and Talk
"Honey, you bought me so many clothes. You have to buy something too, otherwise, I won't accept it," Zhao Yuxin said.
"Alright, I'll buy something too," said Xu Yang. He originally didn't plan on buying anything for himself, he just wanted to buy for his wife.
But since Zhao Yuxin said that, Xu Yang didn't object.
After leaving the Chanel boutique, Zhao Yuxin directly pulled Xu Yang into the neighboring Armani store. After a thorough sweep, they also bought three outfits and two pairs of shoes. Xu Yang didn't need bags, but his clothes were even more expensive than Zhao Yuxin's. The total cost was four hundred and fifty thousand yuan.
Leaving the Armani store, Xu Yang said, "Honey, how about we buy a watch, a couple's watch."
Zhao Yuxin's eyes brightened and exclaimed, "Sure!"
It was something Zhao Yuxin liked. Buying a couple's watches meant wearing them every day. Just by looking at the watch, she could think of her husband, as if he was right by her side. The two of them went to a nearby Cartier store.
"Welcome to Cartier," as soon as they walked in, a young female salesperson greeted them, "Oh, Xu Yang, Yuxin, it's you."
"Xueqian, it's you." Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin smiled when they saw it was a salesperson they knew.
The salesperson was Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin's university classmate, He Xueqian. They hadn't expected to meet her here. Their relationship with He Xueqian was quite good, to say the least. However, after graduation, they were busy with work and didn't keep in touch much, so they didn't know what job He Xueqian had. Unexpectedly, He Xueqian was working as a salesperson here.
"What are you here to buy? Let me show you around," since Liang Yongqiang had already spilled the beans about Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin's relationship in the group, He Xueqian wasn't surprised when they walked in holding hands.
"We want to buy a watch, a couple's watch," Xu Yang said.
"I know just the right ones for you two. Follow me," when dealing with close friends, He Xueqian's speech was more casual. Of course, she still paid attention to the basic etiquette of serving customers.
He Xueqian led them to the watch area. The watches here ranged in price from low to high. Some were priced in the thousands, while others were in the tens or even hundreds of thousands.
"We have three models of couple's watches. Take a look at these three models. This one is..." He Xueqian gave a detailed introduction.
The three models of the couple's watches were priced at twenty-eight thousand, three hundred and eighty thousand, and one million eight hundred thousand yuan, respectively. Each watch had a different theme. Xu Yang thought the one hundred and eighty thousand yuan one was the best.
But Zhao Yuxin didn't want to buy that one, she found it too extravagant. She thought the twenty-eight thousand yuan one was good enough. Twenty-eight thousand yuan for two watches was acceptable. For couple's watches, the price wasn't that important. What mattered was the intention behind it.
Naturally, Xu Yang couldn't agree to buy something so cheap. He didn't mind. He had to buy something good for his wife. She wore clothes worth tens of thousands, carried bags worth tens of thousands, and wore shoes worth tens of thousands, so the watch should also be worth tens of thousands.
In the end, they compromised and chose the three hundred and eighty thousand yuan one.
"Xueqian, we'll go with the three hundred and eighty thousand yuan one," Xu Yang said.
"Xu Yang, did you strike it rich?" He Xueqian asked curiously.
He Xueqian had thought that Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin would choose the twenty-eight thousand yuan one. After all, she knew a bit about their family backgrounds and she also knew what their personalities were like. They definitely weren't the type to put on airs and pretend to be wealthy, seeking to satisfy their vanity with expensive luxury goods.
Moreover, Xu Yang was carrying bags from Chanel and Armani. Clearly, they had just gone on a shopping spree at two luxury brand stores. He Xueqian couldn't help but wonder what was going on and if they had suddenly struck it rich.
"Hehe, I've earned a bit of money recently," Xu Yang didn't give the specifics. Now wasn't the time to get into details.
"It looks like you've really struck it rich," He Xueqian also didn't probe further, she quickly wrapped up their purchase. As the sale would earn her a substantial commission as well.
After settling the bill, He Xueqian escorted Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin to the door and said, "We haven't seen each other in a long time. I'm going back to my hometown soon, and once I'm there, it might be hard for us to meet again. Let's have a meal together sometime to catch up."
"Sure." Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin naturally had no objections.
As for why He Xueqian was going back to her hometown, they didn't ask. They would inquire during the next meet-up with a meal.
"Do you mind if I share your shopping experience with the group?" He Xueqian couldn't help but want to share this. But with matters like this, it was better to ask first to avoid upsetting the two of them.
"It's okay, go ahead and share if you want to," Xu Yang didn't mind.
"That's great. The group is going to be lively tonight," He Xueqian said with a smile.
Watching the two of them leave, He Xueqian returned to work. The workday ended at ten o'clock. He Xueqian immediately sent a message to the class group.
He Xueqian: [Guys, I was working at Cartier, and guess who I ran into today?]
Classmate A: [Who?]
He Xueqian: [I ran into Xu Yang and Yuxin. Guess what they bought at the store?]
Classmate A: [Since they're together, they're probably buying something like a necklace.]
Classmate B: [I think so too. Since Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin are together, it wouldn't be excessive for Xu Yang to give her a necklace.]
He Xueqian: [It's not a necklace, they bought a couple's watch, a three hundred and eighty thousand yuan couple's watch!]
Classmate A: [Oh my goodness, is this for real?]
Classmate B: [Did Xu Yang strike it rich? Or did Zhao Yuxin?]
Classmate C: [What's going on? When did Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin become so extravagant?]
Classmate D: [It's definitely Xu Yang who struck it rich. Given Xu Yang's personality, even if Zhao Yuxin struck it rich, Xu Yang wouldn't accept such an expensive gift from her.]
Classmate E: [They're already registered, so it doesn't matter who's rich.]
Classmate F: [Three hundred and eighty thousand yuan. My goodness, I couldn't earn that much even if I worked very hard for many years!]
Classmate G: [Hey, could it be that Xu Yang was a rich heir in secret?]
Classmate H: [Wow, that'd be a shock indeed. It was already envious enough that Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin were together. If he's really a secret rich heir, I'll be a beggar then.]
Classmate K: [@Xu Yang @Zhao Yuxin, let's meet up sometimes!]
He Xueqian: [It seems like Xu Yang made some money recently. When they came to buy the watch, Xu Yang was carrying bags from Chanel and Armani. Based on the amount, it must have been at least several hundred thousand!]
Classmate A: [Wow... What's really going on?]
Classmate B: [Could it be that Xu Yang is actually a secret rich heir?]
Classmate C: [Don't talk nonsense, that's impossible. I went to Xu Yang's house when I was in my sophomore year. Xu Yang isn't a rich heir, his family is just an ordinary one.]
Classmate D: [Is your idea of an ordinary family the kind of ordinary family like Shen Chengma?]
Classmate E: [Hahaha, ever since Shen Chengma said that, no one dares to claim their family is ordinary anymore.]
Classmate F: [The two most sensational news recently are both about Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin. I'm looking forward to more news in the future.]
Classmate G: [Xu Yang is truly a winner in life. He has a wife and now money.]
Classmate K: [Yeah, it's like they've hit the jackpot!]
Classmate L: [Let's get back to the point. How did Xu Yang suddenly get so much money?]
Classmate H: [@Xu Yang, let's meet and have a talk!]
