"Wrap this watch for me, please."
Lin Feng took off the watch and said to the sales associate.
He didn’t bother looking at any other models; after all, Patek Philippe only had a few entry-level options.
The other models cost hundreds of thousands, or even millions, and he couldn’t afford them.
"Of course, sir. This 5156A watch is priced at 169,800. Since President Yang is one of our VIPs, I can give you a discount. It’ll just be 160,000!"
Lin Feng nodded.
Then he looked at Yang Tianming and said with a smile, "Uncle Yang, I might need you to handle the payment for me."
"Just give me an account number, and I’ll transfer the money right over."
Hearing this, Yang Tianming didn’t refuse. He simply recited a bank card number.
Lin Feng took out his phone and opened his online banking app.
After a few quick taps, he transferred the 160,000.
"Uncle Yang, the money has been transferred."
"Thank you!"
Yang Tianming didn’t check his phone.
He smiled, nodded, and then said to the sales associate,
"Get me another one of these watches!"
"And while you’re at it, set up a membership card for Xiaofeng."
With that, Yang Tianming turned to Yang Qiniang, patted his shoulder, and said, "Haven’t you always wanted a Patek Philippe watch? I’m giving you one today. I hope you’ll learn a thing or two from Xiaofeng."
Hearing this, Yang Qiniang nodded eagerly, his face flushed with excitement as he spoke.
"Okay, Dad!"
"I’ll definitely learn everything I can from Old Lin!"
’I can’t believe I got the Patek Philippe I’ve been dreaming of so easily!’
’Old Lin, you’re my lucky star!’
While the two were talking, the sales associate returned with the two 5156A watches.
At the same time, she was also carrying a tray with a jewelry box on it.
Inside were women’s jewelry pieces, men’s pendants, brooches, and the like.
Though the materials were simple, the craftsmanship was exquisite.
"Mr. Lin, Young Master Yang."
"These are gifts our store has prepared for you."
"You may select any two items as a complimentary gift for your purchases."
This jewelry was generally priced around one to two thousand.
In any other jewelry store, these could be sold as high-end accessories.
But at a Patek Philippe boutique, they were merely free gifts!
Hearing the sales associate, Lin Feng didn’t make a move to choose. Instead, he looked over at Yang Qingqing and Su Ruoxi.
"How about..."
"...the two of you ladies make the choice!"
"I’m not particularly interested in these accessories."
This was Lin Feng’s way of making a gracious gesture. He was supposed to be accompanying Yang Qingqing on a shopping trip today.
But in the end, he’d somehow become the main attraction.
She’d run all over the place with him; it would be rude not to show a little appreciation.
Yang Qiniang, of course, had no objection to Lin Feng’s suggestion.
"That’s right!"
"What use would two grown men have for this jewelry anyway!"
"Hurry up and pick something. After you’re done, we’ll go for afternoon tea. It’s on Old Lin, hahaha!"
Yang Qiniang said with a magnanimous wave of his hand.
Hearing this, Yang Qingqing didn’t stand on ceremony and started looking through the items.
Although these accessories were a little cheap for her taste, they were free, and it would be a waste not to take them. Besides, what woman ever complains about having too much jewelry?
Yang Qingqing picked out the two prettiest necklaces.
"Ruoxi, which one do you like?"
Yang Qingqing asked, holding up the two necklaces for Su Ruoxi.
"Um..."
Su Ruoxi hesitated, unsure of which to choose.
Just then, Lin Feng chimed in, "The one on the right. The swan design would suit her well!"
Su Ruoxi’s style of dress was a bit more mature than Yang Qingqing’s.
Her figure was better as well, especially her ample bust, which was at least a handful.
A more mature design suited her better.
In truth, Su Ruoxi also preferred that one but had been too embarrassed to say so.
After all, Yang Qingqing was getting her gift thanks to her brother.
Her own relationship with Lin Feng, however, was still ambiguous. How could she have the nerve to accept a gift from him?
"Then this one’s for you. I’ll take the one with the little bear!"
Yang Qingqing didn’t mind. She had plenty of jewelry anyway; one necklace more or less made no difference.
She handed the necklace with the swan design to Su Ruoxi.
Su Ruoxi reached out and took it.
She murmured a "thank you."
Finally, with everyone having gotten something, the group of four prepared to leave the boutique.
"Uncle Yang."
"We’ll be going now!"
Lin Feng said, putting on his new watch.
Yang Tianming nodded. "Do you want me to have Uncle Wang give you a ride?"
"No need, Dad!"
"We can just grab a cab!"
Yang Qiniang chimed in before Lin Feng could even respond.
With that, he grabbed Lin Feng’s and Yang Qingqing’s arms and started pulling them toward the exit.
It was as if he were afraid his father would go back on his word.
After all, having finally obtained the watch of his dreams, he naturally had to cherish it.
After Lin Feng’s group had left,
Yang Tianming sat back down, his gaze shifting to the sales associate beside him.
"Xiaozhang, what’s your impression of that young man?"
Yang Tianming asked, opening a box on the table and fiddling with a newly arrived, limited-edition timepiece.
When the sales associate, Xiaozhang, heard his question, she didn’t mince words, replying candidly, "He’s young but not impetuous. He’s very courteous. His future accomplishments should be significant."
Being able to provide long-term service to a client like Yang Tianming at Patek Philippe meant that Xiaozhang was quite worldly and had some skill in reading people.
"However..."
"I still feel that your son is a cut above, of course!" she quickly added, feeling her previous statement might have been inappropriate.
Hearing this, Yang Tianming gave a helpless laugh and waved his hand. "I asked for your opinion on Lin Feng, not for you to suck up to me. Do you think I don’t know my own son?"
Yang Tianming shook his head in resignation. "Compared to Lin Feng, he still has a long way to go."
"By the way, I’ll give you a piece of advice."
"That Lin Feng will very likely become a regular at your store."
"If you don’t want someone else poaching your commission, you’d best keep in close contact with him. Didn’t I just have you make a membership card for him?"
Hearing this, a jolt went through Xiaozhang.
’Yang Tianming’s eye for character was far sharper than hers!’
’To receive such high praise from Yang Tianming was proof enough—this Lin Feng was truly someone extraordinary!’
