Chapter 232: Chapter 230: This Is How Rich People Get Their Money
"I’m terribly sorry, ma’am, but we don’t have the right to sell these three bags. After the exhibition tour, they are scheduled to be sent to our headquarters for auction. As for the price, the starting bid for each of these three bags is 3.2 million RMB. If you are truly interested, you can leave us your contact information. We will notify you before the auction begins. Would that be acceptable?"
Once Li Qian finished speaking, the surrounding crowd gasped in astonishment and began to murmur amongst themselves.
Three-point-two million for one bag?? Isn’t that a bit too expensive! With 3.2 million, you could buy several Mercedes-Benz S-Classes!
When the woman heard the figure Li Qian revealed, her jaw dropped in surprise. She quickly covered her mouth and exclaimed:
"Huh? The bags are that expensive? Never mind, then. That’s too much. Let’s go look at some other styles."
After saying that, the woman pulled the middle-aged man beside her and turned to walk toward the other bags nearby.
Seeing this, Fang Chenyi couldn’t help but be taken aback. ’This is a little different from how it’s written in novels, isn’t it?’
Whether it was the older man or his mistress, both of them seemed quite well-mannered.
He shook his head helplessly. ’Looks like all those novels are full of lies.’ With that thought, he turned to Li Qian and said with a casual wave of his hand:
"Alright, these three bags are nice. Wrap them all up for me. Also, bring me two other models suitable for a middle-aged woman. Don’t worry about the price, just pick whatever looks good."
Li Qian froze when she heard him. ’What did the Chairman just say? Wrap them all up?’
"Is something wrong? Is there a problem?"
Hearing Fang Chenyi speak again, Li Qian finally snapped out of it and hurriedly explained:
"Chairman, you’re saying you want to take all three of these bags, correct?"
Fang Chenyi looked at Li Qian and knew what she was thinking. ’Even though I’m the Chairman, the items are technically in Li Qian’s care right now. If I just take them, it’ll be hard for her to explain it to her superiors.’
Thinking of this, Fang Chenyi decided not to make things difficult for the young woman. He took out his phone, found a number, and made the call.
BEEP—
The phone had barely rung once before it was answered, followed by the excited voice of a woman.
"Oh my god! My dear Chairman! You finally remembered to call me! I’ve missed you to death! I’ve been so lovesick I can’t eat my sleep or sleep through my meals. You have no idea, my dear Chairman, every day I dream of going for a ’ride’ with you!"
Listening to the somewhat stiff Chinese on the phone, Fang Chenyi shook his head helplessly. ’What in the world is this foreign woman thinking about all day?’ Not wanting to waste time with pleasantries, he cut straight to the point:
"Stop! Selena, I’m calling to tell you that I’ve taken the three bags from our company’s exhibition tour. Remember to notify the stores that haven’t hosted the tour yet. Okay, that’s all. I have other things to handle. Goodbye."
After saying that, he hurriedly hung up before Selena could say another word.
He gave Li Qian a faint smile. "There, you don’t have to worry about the exhibition tour anymore."
Li Qian mentally cursed herself for being so stupid. ’The entire Louis Vuitton of Huaxia belongs to Fang Chenyi’s family. He’s just taking his own stuff, so why was I being so hesitant?’
She quickly and efficiently helped Fang Chenyi pack the three bags, then took down the two other most expensive bags in the store.
Fang Chenyi glanced at them. They looked quite elegant on Li Qian, so he nodded and had her wrap those two up as well.
After all that was done, Fang Chenyi finally remembered the reason he came. "You bought the phone, right? And that other bag."
Li Qian hurried over in her high heels, walked to the counter, bent down, and took out a wrapped bag from behind it, handing it to Fang Chenyi:
"Chairman, here are the things you asked for. The phone is already inside."
Fang Chenyi didn’t open it to check, just nodded in satisfaction. He then took out his own phone and said to Li Qian:
"Here, let me send you the money for the phone."
As he spoke, he found Li Qian on WeChat and transferred 10,000 yuan to her.
In front of Fang Chenyi, Li Qian was too embarrassed to take out her phone to accept the payment. Hearing the notification sound from her phone, she just smiled and nodded. "I’ve received it, Chairman."
With his business concluded, Fang Chenyi didn’t linger. He turned and left the store. Watching this young man in a tank top, shorts, and flip-flops casually carrying six bags worth over ten million, the people around could only shake their heads with wry smiles. Some of the female employees’ hearts even fluttered, and as they watched his dashing figure depart, two words echoed in their minds: "So handsome!"
After he left the Louis Vuitton store, the people in the mall pointed and whispered about him. Of course, the reason for all this was the stark contrast between his outfit and the six Louis Vuitton bags in his hands.
Fang Chenyi paid no mind to anyone’s stares. He went down to the underground parking garage on his own, found the Ford Raptor he had driven, and after a moment’s thought, casually tossed the six shopping bags into the truck bed.
As luck would have it, the man and woman who had wanted to buy the pink bag earlier also walked into the parking garage just in time to see Fang Chenyi casually tossing bags worth over ten million into the back of a pickup truck.
The woman sighed and murmured to herself:
"Sigh... Hauling Louis Vuitton bags in a pickup truck, that’s a first. Darling, where do you think these rich people get all their money?"
And just after tossing the bags into the truck bed, as if to answer the woman’s question, Fang Chenyi, who had already opened his truck door, suddenly stepped back out.
He turned, took two steps, and with a CRUNCH, flattened a soda can that someone had left on the ground.
But that wasn’t all. After crushing the can, instead of throwing it into a nearby trash bin, Fang Chenyi bent down, picked it up, and casually tossed it into his bag.
Of course, from their distance, it looked like Fang Chenyi just tossed it into his bag. In reality, he tossed it into a woven plastic bag he kept inside it.
After watching Fang Chenyi get in his truck, start the engine, and drive away, the middle-aged man and the woman exchanged a look. Then, he couldn’t help but let out a long sigh, speaking as if to himself, yet also as if explaining to the woman beside him:
"See? That’s how they save up all their money."
After hearing this, the woman nodded in firm agreement.
"It’s true what they say, the richer they are, the stingier they get."
Of course, Fang Chenyi hadn’t noticed the couple’s presence. And even if he had, he wouldn’t have paid them any mind. He was currently preoccupied with a different problem. ’Okay, I’ve got the bags, and I’ve got the phone,’ he thought, ’but I can’t just go find a pointy-chinned girl to go with them, can I...’
