Chapter 223

Tang Tang Chuyu said in a soft voice.

Actually, Bai Bai Jie also wanted to leave; with the little money she had in her pocket,

shopping here was nothing but a joke.

She couldn't afford even a single piece of top-tier luxury clothing here.

Moreover, if she happened to fancy certain styles and her heart fluttered,

only to find her purse too shallow in the end, the looks from those sales associates would surely turn sour.

While salespeople at car dealerships rarely judge by appearance,

female sales associates at luxury boutiques are an entirely different story;

they tailor their treatment entirely based on the customer.

If they sense you have no money in your pocket,

they might not openly mock you, but you will find their gaze upon you

even more unbearable than outright ridicule.

Even if you have painstakingly saved up enough money,

if these female sales associates do not see you as a potential future client,

but rather as someone who has scrimped and saved for ages just to buy one luxury item,

they will refuse to sell to you even if the store has the item in stock.

Ask once, and they say: "Out of stock!"

Ask again when it will arrive, and they reply:

"I don't know!"

Yet for those wealthy ladies who frequently purchase luxury goods,

the female sales associates will claim there is always stock available.

If you angrily ask why others have stock the moment they arrive while you do not,

the female sales associate will look at you with disdain.

"That person spends millions a year; can you compare?"

In truth, for these female sales associates, luxury goods are never meant for customers who need to save up.

Of course, if Lin Yi were here,

he would have absolutely no interest in luxury goods; even if those bags were given to him, he wouldn't take them.

Furthermore, he could never understand why these women were so obsessed with such luxuries.

Therefore, he would rather chat with arms clients to expand his weapons trade

than ever come strolling through luxury boutiques.

However, when women like Li Li Xueying saw these luxury items,

their eyes sparkled as if a dragon had spotted a hoard of gold.

Even though Bai Bai Jie and Tang Tang Chuyu felt in their hearts that they couldn't afford them, they certainly liked them.

Nevertheless, the three women were stunningly beautiful, possessing outstanding temperaments, each with her own unique figure and charm.

To be honest, ever since they appeared, many men had been staring at them.

Some were held back only because they were accompanied by female partners, making it difficult to make a move.

However, at that moment, a man wearing a suit, sporting a large belly and a balding "Mediterranean" hairstyle, confidently strutted over, believing himself to be dashing.

He glanced at the three women.

Each one was exactly his type: Bai Bai Jie was enchantingly seductive, making men unable to resist;

Li Li Xueying had a curvaceous figure and an exceptional aura;

Tang Tang Chuyu was pure and lovely, her every smile and frown evoking the feeling of first love.

Getting all three of these beauties into bed would surely be the ultimate dream for any man.

"Hello, young ladies. I am the CEO of ** Company; might I have the honor of making your acquaintance?"

the balding man said with a face full of smiles.

Hearing this, all three women glanced at him with disgust.

The unrestrained greed in his eyes when he looked at them was simply nauseating.

Compared to their handsome boss whom they saw every day,

this balding man before them was like a vile insect, utterly repulsive.

Li Li Xueying couldn't be bothered with such a person; she directly grabbed Bai Bai Jie and the other two, heading toward the Chanel counter.

Seeing that the three women completely ignored him, the balding man was not annoyed but instead followed after them.

Soon, the three women were stopped by a Chanel sales associate.

Due to the crowd, one had to queue to enter the Chanel store.

"Maybe we should just forget it, Sister Ying!"

Tang Tang Chuyu said, looking at the long line outside the store.

However, before Li Li Xueying could speak, the pest chimed in:

"How can you three beauties just give up? I happen to have a VIP membership here; I can skip the line and take you three right in!"

As he spoke, he moved to greet the sales associate.

Just then, a woman with a good figure, wearing a red dress but bearing an obvious surgically altered face, came jogging over:

"Darling, why didn't you wait for me?"

Well, well! This guy, already accompanied by one woman, still wanted to pursue Li Li Xueying and the other two.

When the woman in the red skirt, whose body bore an indeterminable amount of artificiality, approached the balding man, she immediately latched onto his arm and spoke in an affected, coquettish tone:

"Darling... didn't you just promise to buy me an LV bag? Why have you come here instead!"

However, Mr. Fly paid it no mind; instead, he addressed Li Li Xueying and her two companions:

"She is merely a friend of mine... I can bring..."

"Stop, stop, Mr. Fly, I think you might be misunderstanding something!"

As she spoke, Li Li Xueying pulled a card from her Dior handbag.

Instantly, the female sales associate at the Chanel counter froze in shock.

The balding man, Mr. Fly, was equally stunned; he had never expected that a woman dressed so modestly before him

would produce such a card.

Li Li Xueying then handed the card to the sales associate:

"I believe this card should allow us immediate entry!"

The sales associate, momentarily stunned, took the card; upon verifying its authenticity, she immediately bowed with a beaming smile:

"Certainly, three beautiful ladies; my colleagues and I shall be at your service..."

As she spoke, the sales associate returned the card to Li Li Xueying with both hands.

Li Li Xueying offered a faint smile, lifting her neck, as white and graceful as a swan's,

and walked into the Chanel boutique while the many people waiting in line looked on in bewilderment.

The sales associate immediately summoned two other clerks, whispered something into their ears,

and the three of them began attending to Li Li Xueying and her group.

At that moment, the balding man and the surgically enhanced woman were utterly dumbfounded.

After a brief pause, the surgically enhanced woman could not help but ask:

"Darling, what kind of card was that?!"

The balding man, being relatively well-traveled, sighed and said:

"An ICBC Black Gold Card. To qualify for such a card, one must appear on the Hurun Rich List or be a member of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, with annual expenditures exceeding two million..."

""

"Hurun?" The surgically enhanced woman gasped in surprise.

"Indeed; in 2015, even the last person on the Hurun Rich List possessed a net worth exceeding twenty billion..."

"What! Twenty billion!" The surgically enhanced woman was even more astonished.

"This means that among those three women, at least one shares an extraordinary connection with a billionaire worth over twenty billion;

otherwise, even wealthy individuals would not lend out such a card..."

The balding man sighed inwardly:
