Tycoon: I Have an Unlimited Modifier
Chapter 48: Willing Even if Deceived
The luxury boutiques in Taikoo Li were by no means inferior to those at the International Gold Center.
Many top luxury brands that opened in Chengdu had adopted a two-store strategy.
With Tan Hua around, the International Gold Center was definitely out of the question.
At Taikoo Li, however, Qi Sheng felt much more relaxed.
With his arm around Du Xinxin, he walked into the Chanel boutique.
"Welcome to Chanel. How may I help you?"
A sales associate came up enthusiastically, her smile perfectly warm and welcoming.
A rich young man with a beautiful woman on his arm was a combination that usually had a high closing rate and often resulted in a big sale.
"Help my girlfriend look at some bags. Pick a few styles that suit her, then put together an outfit for her—something that matches her sweet personality."
Qi Sheng pulled the somewhat timid Du Xinxin along, calmly giving his instructions to the sales associate.
"Of course. Please have a seat in our lounge area for a moment. We have orange juice and coffee. Which would you prefer?"
The sales associate led Qi Sheng to a large sofa in the lounge area and asked in a soft, gentle voice.
"I’ll have an orange juice," Qi Sheng said casually, then turned to Du Xinxin with a smile. "Go on, go try on some clothes with the associate here. I’m here, so you don’t need to worry about the price."
Facing Du Xinxin, who was several years his junior, Qi Sheng coaxed her as if he were talking to a child.
"Okay, I’ll go then."
With Qi Sheng there, Du Xinxin wasn’t as scared anymore.
Without Qi Sheng, she wouldn’t have dared to set foot in a store like this, not even if her life depended on it.
Bags and clothes that easily cost tens of thousands were completely out of reach for a girl from her background.
’But I guess I’m just lucky. I have a tall, rich, and handsome boyfriend!’
’From now on, all sorts of big-name luxury goods will be no big deal for me.’
Right now, she definitely hadn’t yet developed the kind of nonchalant attitude one has when facing these luxury goods.
Qi Sheng played on his phone for a while. When he looked up and saw Du Xinxin walking over with the sales associate, he was instantly dazzled.
A pink tweed jacket, paired with a matching cardigan and skirt.
Her fair, slender, and shapely calves were exposed, and she wore a pair of light pink sneakers.
With a white flap bag over her shoulder, she instantly gave off a "summer sweetheart" vibe.
"Beautiful. We’ll take this set. You can just wear it out."
The more Qi Sheng looked, the more he liked it. His magnanimous gesture made the sales associate beam with joy.
This was a sale worth over a hundred thousand; any sales associate would be ecstatic to land such an order.
"It’s so expensive... I’ll just take the bag."
While trying on the clothes, Du Xinxin had secretly glanced at the price tags and nearly died of shock.
The tweed jacket was 63,500, the skirt 26,300.
The pullover was 23,500, the shoes 9,900, and the flap bag 44,100.
The whole outfit came to 167,300 yuan.
’What does that even mean? In some less-developed fourth- or fifth-tier cities, that’s enough to buy a whole apartment!’ 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
After buying the car, Qi Sheng only had 350,000 left in his account.
Since then, he’d treated Tan Hua’s colleagues to dinner, bought Zong Rui’s fitness classes, treated Du Xinxin’s roommates to dinner, given her the Bvlgari necklace...
And just now, he had booked the presidential suite at the Regent Hotel online, which cost 100,000 for a single night.
By now, Qi Sheng had just a little over 40,000 left in his account.
Luckily, Old Ma was generous and had given him a 200,000 credit line, so he could afford this spending spree.
This high credit limit was also something that happened after the two million had arrived in his account this month.
After Qi Sheng swiped his card, Du Xinxin was so moved that she ignored everyone else in the store and took the initiative to kiss her boyfriend.
For her, today was simply a dream come true.
First, Qi Sheng had given her a Bvlgari necklace worth 105,000 yuan.
Then, he treated her and her friends to a top-tier Sichuan restaurant where the cost was over 3,000 per person.
And now, he had brought her to Chanel and bought her a complete outfit and bag worth almost 170,000.
Faced with such a lavish spending offensive from Qi Sheng, any girl would be so moved she’d want to pledge her life to him.
At that moment, all of Tao Siyao’s warnings were thrown to the back of Du Xinxin’s mind.
To be sure, Tao Siyao’s worries weren’t wrong.
There were indeed plenty of scumbags who were only out to get in a girl’s pants.
’But the question is, would that kind of scumbag be willing to spend so much on me?’
’Even if Qi Sheng does turn out to be a player, I’d be more than willing.’
...
Leaving the Chanel boutique, Qi Sheng didn’t delay any longer.
While Du Xinxin’s wave of emotion hadn’t yet faded, he drove straight to the Regent Hotel.
He handed the car keys to the valet. The butler for the presidential suite, whom Qi Sheng had contacted in advance, was already waiting downstairs for them.
"Mr. Qi, this way, please."
The butler serving them was a woman who looked to be in her early thirties.
She was dressed in a woman’s skirt suit and had a very warm smile.
As guests of the presidential suite, they naturally didn’t need to check in at the front desk like regular guests.
They took a private elevator directly to the 29th floor.
The 326-square-meter presidential suite was incredibly spacious; it would be no problem to host a party there.
The long dining table, which could seat eight, was somewhat extravagant for just the two of them.
In Qi Sheng’s opinion, the decor was a bit dated, but it could still be described as magnificent.
What satisfied Qi Sheng the most was that the suite had a terrace and a private outdoor pool.
That was the key reason he had booked this place.
"Mr. Qi, we’ve prepared a bottle of Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque as your welcome champagne."
"If you prefer another brand of champagne, I can have it replaced for you."
Dana led Qi Sheng and Du Xinxin on a tour of the suite.
Once the two were seated on the sofa, she bent forward slightly to introduce the champagne chilling in the ice bucket on the coffee table.
"No need to change it. Just open it for us."
Qi Sheng was no stranger to this brand. He’d had the good fortune of drinking it once at a nightclub, and it tasted quite good.
Dana used a Laguiole saber—the Rolls-Royce of wine knives—to perform the Regent’s signature champagne sabering ceremony.
This bottle of Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Blanc de Blancs champagne cost around 3,500 yuan.
Compared to the 100,000-a-night room rate, it was hardly worth mentioning.
The ice-cold, pale golden liquid had an alluring sheen and uniform bubbles.
It was pure and smooth on the palate, with notes of flowers and citrus fruits.
Du Xinxin, who had never had champagne before, had a flash of surprise in her beautiful, hesitant eyes. She then took a few more small sips.
"This champagne is delicious."
Qi Sheng stroked Du Xinxin’s soft, silky hair and instructed Dana, "Have the kitchen prepare dinner for us. Make sure to include all the signature dishes."
"Of course. I will inform the restaurant. The executive chef will personally prepare your dinner."
Dana immediately noted Qi Sheng’s request and would go inform the chef to prepare the ingredients shortly.
"Oh, right. Prepare a pair of swimming trunks for me, and a swimsuit for my girlfriend."
Qi Sheng gave Dana a subtle wink. It was obvious that this swimsuit wouldn’t have much fabric.
"I understand."
Dana nodded with a knowing smile. Looking at Du Xinxin’s pure, sweet, and lovely face, she thought to herself, ’What a lucky girl.’
’That Chanel outfit probably cost over a hundred thousand.’
’And now her boyfriend brought her to stay in the presidential suite, which costs a hundred thousand a night.’
’This kind of life was something many girls only dared to dream about.’
’Yet Du Xinxin had it all so easily.’
’Of course, with her beauty, she was worthy of it all.’
