Wang Lan was driving her BMW MINI, skillfully weaving through traffic, and soon arrived at Jingnan West Road.
Jingnan West Road was one of the busiest commercial streets in the Modu City. Despite it being noon and the scorching sun blazing above, the streets were still crowded, with people coming and going in a continuous flow.
Getting out of the car, Wang Lan asked with a half-smile, "Lin Xian, what kind of watch do you want to buy?"
She was curious to see how Lin Xian would cover up his lie at this moment.
Lin Xian, however, didn't think too much about it. He simply felt that Wang Lan was being a bit overly enthusiastic.
Pointing towards a store ahead, Lin Xian smiled and said, "It's this one!"
After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the store.
Apart from Vacheron Constantin, there were several neighboring watch boutiques on the street, such as Audemars Piguet, IWC, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and more.
But Wang Lan knew very well that no matter which one it was, the prices were not cheap. Even entry-level models from Jaeger-LeCoultre or IWC probably started at least at 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
As for Yan Xiaoman, she knew nothing about watches and was simply here for a casual stroll.
"It's too hot outside; let's get in," Lin Xian called out, and with a look of surprise from Wang Lan, he stepped into the Vacheron Constantin boutique.
In fact, there were many top-tier watch brands, such as Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Rolex, Blancpain, and more.
The reason he chose Vacheron Constantin was simply because he had a good feeling about it.
True to its reputation as an international top-tier watch brand, Vacheron Constantin's boutique covered over 2,000 square meters. The store's interior design was minimalist, with only a string of English letters on the sign. Yet, it still gave off an inexplicably high-end vibe.
As soon as the three of them entered the boutique, the cool air from the air conditioning hit them.
At the same time, a woman dressed in a black business outfit walked towards them.
"Good afternoon, sir, and ladies. My name is Sherry. How can I assist you today?" Sherry appeared to be in her thirties. Her features weren't delicate, but she exuded a subtle scholarly aura. Her long hair was tied up, giving her an elegant and composed appearance that made her quite likable.
Lin Xian smiled and said, "Hello, I'd like to pick out a watch from your store."
Although Lin Xian wasn't wearing any designer brands, Sherry's smile didn't falter.
This wasn't just because Vacheron Constantin had strict employee training; it was also because there were so many rich people in the Modu City.
There were enough billionaires in this city that they could line up all the way to the Huangpu River.
Don't think that's an exaggeration, because this was the Modu City!
Furthermore, very few ordinary people dared to step into the Vacheron Constantin flagship store.
"May I ask your name, sir?" Sherry continued to smile and asked.
"Just Lin," Lin Xian replied.
"Alright, Mr. Lin, please have a seat here for a moment," Sherry said.
Rather than immediately beginning to show him watches, Sherry guided the three of them to the guest area and asked, "Would you like something to drink?"
"An iced water would be fine," Lin Xian responded.
"Two cups of black tea," Yan Xiaoman said, then started to look around with interest at the store's interior.
Soon, Sherry brought over the iced water and black tea.
Yan Xiaoman took a small sip and exclaimed, "Oh, this black tea tastes pretty good."
Wang Lan secretly rolled her eyes. A watch that costs hundreds of thousands of yuan—how could the tea not be good?
To be honest, at this point, she started to feel conflicted.
She originally thought Lin Xian was just showing off, but seeing his calm expression, it didn't seem fake. It seemed like he really was here to buy a watch.
"I'm glad you like it!" Sherry smiled, then spoke again, "I wonder if Mr. Lin has any particular watch models in mind?"
Lin Xian shook his head. "Not yet. Could you recommend a few?"
Sherry nodded, thinking for a moment, then said, "Considering your age, Mr. Lin, I wouldn't recommend a dress watch. Dress watches are meant to be serious and formal, which doesn't really match your current style. If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Lin is probably still in college, and this age group represents youth, adventure, and energy. So, I'd recommend a sports watch."
As expected from a flagship store employee, her eloquence and insight were top-notch.
After a brief pause, Sherry continued, "When it comes to sports watches, our Vacheron Constantin Overseas series is undoubtedly the top choice. To be honest, the Overseas series is a watch tailored specifically for someone of your age group, and it will match your style perfectly."
"Can I take a look?" Lin Xian asked.
"Of course, please follow me!" Sherry smiled slightly.
Reaching the display case, Sherry took out three watches and introduced them one by one: "Mr. Lin, please have a look. This is our Vacheron Constantin Overseas series, the dual time zone model."
As soon as the three watches were displayed, Lin Xian was immediately drawn to one and ignored the other two.
The watch had a silver-white case, but the dial was deep blue, resembling calm lake water—serene and elegant. Yet, its design also had a sense of impact, like the mighty ocean.
A strange yet perfect combination that instantly captivated Lin Xian.
Seeing this, Sherry, knowing his interest, focused her explanation on this watch: "This model is the 7900V/11…"
Lin Xian waved his hand, interrupting her. "No need for the details. How much is it?"
In reality, the configurations of top-tier watches were almost identical. In fact, many brands used the same movement, and with the cost being what it was, the differences were minimal. Lin Xian didn't know much about watches, and even if Sherry explained, he wouldn't understand.
The key was that he liked it, and that was enough.
So, Lin Xian went straight to the point and asked about the price. If it was reasonable, he would buy it!
"Uh…" Sherry paused, then quickly said, "The price of this watch is 224,000 yuan."
224,000?
When Wang Lan heard the price, she wasn't too shocked, as she had some knowledge of high-end watch prices.
However, Yan Xiaoman was completely clueless and was taken aback.
In her mind, a watch was worth at most a few hundred to a thousand yuan. Suddenly hearing a price of over 200,000 made her unable to process it.
But what Lin Xian said next shocked her even more.
"Alright, I'll take it!"
With that, Lin Xian pulled out his bank card and handed it over.
There was only 230,000 yuan in his bank account, and if it had been any more expensive, he wouldn't have been able to afford it.
At this moment, Sherry's smile became even more enthusiastic.
Having worked in the Vacheron Constantin flagship store for so many years, she had only encountered such a straightforward and generous customer a couple of times.
"Mr. Lin, please proceed with the payment here," she said.
Lin Xian followed Sherry to the payment counter while simultaneously activating his system tool.
"Ding~"
"Your total expenditure is 224,000 yuan. Would you like to use the [Consumption Rebate Critical Strike Card] for this purchase?"
"Confirm!"
Without any hesitation, he confirmed it.
"Successfully used the [Consumption Rebate Critical Strike Card]. The Critical Strike Rebate will be issued after you complete this purchase!"
It seemed that the system was very meticulous, leaving no room for any loopholes.
