Hermès is another world-renowned luxury brand, even more upscale than Louis Vuitton and with significantly higher prices.
After browsing around the store with Alya, Ye Yun found that, like LV, most of the clothing here was overly flashy and excessively trendy.
But there were also a few more traditional options that weren't too extreme.
Ye Yun ended up buying over a dozen outfits in one go and even picked out a handbag for Alya.
"Sir, your total comes to two hundred thirty-five thousand four hundred US dollars," the sales associate said with a radiant smile, her tone and demeanor respectful and polished.
This was a rare God-Tier Tycoon! Her commission alone on this sale would easily amount to several thousand dollars!
"Alright, card it," Ye Yun nodded and handed over his Nine-Star Black Card.
The Nine-Star Black Card had a credit limit of ten billion US dollars—one of the highest-tier cards in existence.
Forget luxury shopping—with this card, he could buy entire office buildings or residential complexes back in his home country with ease.
The sales associate returned shortly, handing the card back with an even brighter smile.
"Let's go. Let's check out a few more places," Ye Yun said as he put away the card and strode confidently out of the store.
Meanwhile, Alya followed behind with bags in both hands, letting out a quiet sigh.
It was her first time acting as a shopping assistant and also the first time witnessing the lavish lifestyle of someone truly wealthy.
She had worked at Swiss Bank for over four years and saved up over a million dollars, but Ye Yun had just spent more than half a year of her salary on a single casual shopping trip.
As she carried the bags and followed behind Ye Yun, the sales associate enthusiastically escorted them out of the store.
Outside, Ye Yun happened to spot the LV sales associate who had irritated him earlier. She was staring at him in stunned disbelief.
Noticing her gaze, Ye Yun curled his lips into a smirk and said leisurely, "Thanks for the recommendation. Hermès has some great selections—really suits my taste."
He even lifted the shopping bags slightly in her direction before walking away with Alya.
The sales associate stood there frozen, her forced smile stiffening, regret written all over her face.
If only she had been a little more welcoming… if only she hadn't judged by appearance…
As she wallowed in regret, the blonde sales associate from Hermès walked over, beaming with joy.
"Thank you for sending Mr. Ye our way. He spent over two hundred thousand in our store! I earned several thousand in commission—dinner's on me tonight!"
Her thanks were genuine, but to the LV associate, the words landed like a hammer blow.
Her face turned pale, the world spinning around her. She nearly fainted on the spot.
That commission… should have been hers!
…
On the other side, Ye Yun, having gotten his revenge, was in high spirits.
He had long known that racial prejudice against Asians was common abroad, but he hadn't expected to encounter it while shopping.
That LV sales associate had most likely been a racist.
Otherwise, why would she have treated a customer with such impatience and disrespect?
By the time Ye Yun and Alya reached the fifth floor, they noticed the crowd had thinned considerably compared to the lower levels—only about a third of the foot traffic.
At a glance, this floor was lined with high-end watch boutiques.
Patek Philippe, Piaget, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Vacheron Constantin, Rolex, IWC, Cartier…
The top ten watch brands in the world were all represented here.
As Ye Yun's eyes swept across the storefronts, he hesitated briefly over which one to enter—until the grand Patek Philippe logo caught his attention.
It became the first boutique to be honored with his visit.
Of course, the store manager and staff had no idea they had just been graced by Lady Luck.
Because at Patek Philippe, not everyone who enters can afford to buy. There might be many visitors, but few actual buyers.
"Welcome to Patek Philippe. What kind of watch are you looking for, sir?" said a tall man in a tailored suit, greeting Ye Yun with a gentlemanly smile. "My name is Jess. I'll be delighted to assist you."
Jess was no ordinary sales associate—his perceptiveness far exceeded that of the LV girl.
Though Ye Yun's attire was casual, Jess instantly noticed that Alya was walking half a step behind him. From this subtle clue, he correctly deduced their dynamic.
And with such a refined beauty following him, how could Ye Yun's status be anything but extraordinary?
"Show us around," Ye Yun said after taking a quick glance around the boutique. The store was filled with dazzling timepieces.
Patek Philippe, the crown jewel of Swiss watchmaking, is the only remaining true independent watch manufacturer in Switzerland. Every timepiece is produced entirely by Patek Philippe's own watchmakers.
Training a single Patek Philippe watchmaker takes ten years!
This elevated level of craftsmanship, paired with top-tier materials, has solidified Patek Philippe's lasting reputation. Watch enthusiasts around the world dream of owning one. Even European nobility regard them as a symbol of aristocratic status.
It's said that Patek Philippe and Rolex watches, like US dollars and gold, are hard currency—easily resold anywhere in the world.
This alone speaks volumes about their prestige.
Jess guided Ye Yun and Alya through the store, introducing them to various models.
As he looked over the price tags, Ye Yun couldn't help but marvel. These watches were truly expensive—the cheapest started at twenty or thirty thousand dollars, while prices in the hundreds of thousands or even millions of euros were not uncommon.
These were watches only multi-millionaires could afford, and only billionaires could wear with ease.
"Sir, take a look at this AQUANAUT series platinum watch. It really matches your style," Jess said as he carefully retrieved a beautifully crafted watch and presented it to Ye Yun.
Ye Yun took the watch and admired its refined design, then asked, "How much is this one?"
"One hundred thirty thousand dollars," Jess replied with a smile, closely watching Ye Yun's reaction.
When Ye Yun frowned, Jess assumed it was due to the price—but then Ye Yun looked up and asked:
"I heard that the more expensive the Patek Philippe, the more exquisite the craftsmanship and stylish the design. Can you show me some of the pricier ones?"
